Episode with the band Trapt....fake or real?

This show is now broadcasting reruns on a local channel that my family and I watch every night at 11:30 pm, and we enjoy if for entertainment purposes, LOL. Anyway, there was an episode on a LONG time ago that I remember vividly...or at least most of it. I can't recall if it was a girl or a guy who was being cheated on (it might have been a girl, I think), but they found out from the host and tracked her husband/boyfriend down at a local bar where she ran in and confronted them. As her and the camera crew/host enter the building, there is a band playing onstage...and I quickly realized that it was the rock band Trapt playing their song 'Who's going home with you tonight?'. At first, I was like "Wow, the band Trapt is on the show 'Cheaters'!", but then I started to think about it to myself; WHY are they on this show? And why are they playing a song about (possibly) infidelity in a relationship, on a show that's coincidently ABOUT people cheating on their significant others? Weird.

Of course, there's a chance the episode was real and they simply went into a bar that just-so-happenly featured a popular band playing a strangely-fitting song...or it was fake and they asked the guys in Trapt to appear on their show to promote their new album via the song 'Who's going home with you tonight?'. Now, I really like the band and think they're awesome, but to me it seemed a little TOO coincidental that the girl/Cheaters crew entered the same exact bar that the band was playing in, including the song, LOL. Heck, I almost didn't even pay attention to the girl's confrontation because I was briefly seeing one of my favorite bands performing on the show 'Cheaters'....cool, but unlikely IMO.

What are your thought? Has anyone else seen this episode before?

Yeah, thanks for responding. I honestly think that some of the shows are actually real, but there are some that seem a little too obvious IMO. Like just the other night, there was an episode where this lady with glasses and tatoos on her arm caught her boyfriend "cheating" on her with this blonde woman in their bed, and she's all pissed and slaps him and is like "Pack you bags, get out of my house I pay the bills!", and he's all mad and like "No, this is MY house so you get the f!ck out of here!". What I found a little strange was that the host intervened and the guy actually SHOVED him and he pushed him back, and shortly after this...the guy started threatening the crew with a PAINTBALL gun and started shooting at the cameras yelling at them to leave, LOL. I mean, that seemed a little staged to me because why would a guy suddenly pull out a paintball gun and try to attack the camera guys? I don't know, that part was kinda "off" IMO.

About the Trapt episode, I think there was a chance the producer told them to perform their hit single for the show as a way to promote their album. The song by itself was just TOO coincidental to fit with the confrontation in the bar IMO.

That episode was the first time that I realized that some of the cases are fake.

FYI: I know a "husband and wife" who appeared on Jerry Springer. He was supposedly cheating on her with another woman. IRL, he worked the door at one of our local strip clubs, and the "wife" and his "girlfriend" were both dancers at the club. He was actually involved with neither of them. But a scout for Springer approached them at the club about appearing in the episode.
