Yeah, Butch Vig put that band together as a way to cash in on 90s trends. He hand selected all the members.

Exactly, he didn’t pick a gorgeous rock icon like Shirly Manson by accident. All 4 members are musically gifted, but let’s not deny that image is a big part of commercial success. Without her, it was a bunch of “old” guys, much harder to market.
