I posted a thread a while back about GNR being in the top 10 bands search on Lycos this year.
Google released some stats today, they don't mention bands but:

The TV and movie character, played by British comedian Sacha Baron Cohen, was the star of the hit comedy "Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan.''
People were also curious about Hezbollah, Capote, Mohammed and Buckethead."
That's some company bucket is keeping ;P
