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:

with great catchy tunes. Recommended. A fun movie (who didn't want to be a rock star as a kid). The recording is good and all in my family are enjoying it.
But I have to admit, I liked it too. Well, this was a present for my husband. We both really liked the movie and the songs as well.
I have played that CD alot since I got it. Thank you so much to the people who work through Amazon.com for the customers you Rock. 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. It's great.
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.
When his dream comes true he becomes the new lead singer for Steel Dragon, replacing his hero. It's about a guy who's dream is to be like his hero, "the lead singer in the band Steel Dragon). So I bought the sound track. A friend told me about this movie. I watched it and absolutely love it. The movie kicks butt and the songs are great.
