Additional Rock Star Information
|
More than merely a headbanger's take on A Star Is Born, Rock Star is, like all great Hollywood middlebrow fare, actually "inspired by a true story": the saga of an Ohio salesman/Judas Priest tribute band vocalist who one day found himself taking Rob Halford's place in the spotlight. But whether its music is big-hair throwback or merely ahead-of-the-curve '80s retro-hip is hardly a matter that will cause quantum theorists sleepless nights. Not surprisingly, the film's soundtrack sounds both distinctly virtual and marketing-department honed: a mix of modern rockers (Everclear's hard-pop title track, the Verve Pipe's "Colorful") and '80s vets (Bon Jovi's genre-defining "Livin' on a Prayer"). Steel Dragon, the film's fictional headliners, feature era vets Jason Bonham on drums, Zakk Wylde on guitar, and vocalist Jeff Scott Soto giving star Mark Wahlberg something to lip-synch. They re-create a frighteningly credible faux-'80s pop-metal ethos that ranges from the big-ballad Bon Jovi-isms of "We All Die Young" to the pounding, metallic Priest-cloning of "Livin' the Life" and "Blood Pollution," and the anthemic "Long Live Rock and Roll," the latter in a ham-fisted performance that begs to be subtitled "(But Please Retire Soon)." It's all enough to make long-suffering heavy metal fans cry out, "Why hast thou forsaken us, Spinal Tap?" --Jerry McCulley

What Customers Say About Rock Star:

A fun movie (who didn't want to be a rock star as a kid). with great catchy tunes. The recording is good and all in my family are enjoying it. Recommended.
Well, this was a present for my husband. But I have to admit, I liked it too. We both really liked the movie and the songs as well.
When the movie Rock Star came out I looked for the soundtrack but couln't not find one and I know it's been years since the movie came out I still wanted the soundtrack, I finally one day looked on Amazon.com and there was the CD that I wanted and it wasn't a bad price and the shipping wasn't bad either,so I went ahead and ordered it, let's just say I was impressed with the speed that I got my CD, and it was wrapped great too to keep it from getting damaged during mailing. I have played that CD alot since I got it. It's great. Thank you so much to the people who work through Amazon.com for the customers you Rock.
This is a good CD but only like a few songs on it. But if you loved the songs on the movie you'll like this CD.
A friend told me about this movie. When his dream comes true he becomes the new lead singer for Steel Dragon, replacing his hero. I watched it and absolutely love it. It's about a guy who's dream is to be like his hero, "the lead singer in the band Steel Dragon). The movie kicks butt and the songs are great. So I bought the sound track.
