The group was formed in 1997 when the show staff started playing with instruments that Green Day had brought to the studio prior to their own performance.
The band was named after their original drummer Scott the Engineer, who the other members of the show staff consider a loser.
In the late nineties the band played with Jenny Jones, James Brown, Willie Nelson and Barry Williams and made an appearance on Magic Johnson's talk show, The Magic Hour on July 3, 1998[1][2] to perform a flatulence-filled version of "Wipe Out".
Every time The Losers battled a band, three judges were chosen by a third party and were people in the record industry.
All were unanimous in The Losers' favor except for when Chris Jericho's band Fozzy performed "To Kill a Stranger" from their 2002 album, Happenstance.
