Rock Star - The Movie

Anyone seen this film from a few years back.

I love this film, reminds me of my youth. If Steel Dragon had been a real band I'm sure I'd have been into them.

Plus the soundtrack is awesome!

Anyone else like this movie or are there other Rock n Roll movies you like?

Can't say I've heard of this one? Is it worth buying on DVD?

Other RnR films...hmm, sure there's some but have to give it some thought?

Do The Beatles films count? 'Cos they crack me up...'Yellow Submarine' & 'Help' are really funny!

If you like 80's cock rock/hair metal then yes!! It's probably quite cheap these days too... http://www.play.com/DVD/DVD/4-/102234/Rock-Star/Product.html

I remember this flick..I thought it was pretty cool, didnt buy it though..

The soundtrack is good but cheesey ..Ive downloaded some of the tracks from Itunes - I love the version of Rainbow's "Long Live Rock n Roll".. & the track "We All Die Young" is fuggin brilliant..

2001, was it that long ago, blimey!!

All the 'Steel Dragon' songs are awesome. They're sung by either Jeff Scott Soto or the bloke from Steelheart.

Michael Matijevic from Steelheart is top draw!

Jeff Pilson from Dokken played bass in that movie.

Indeed he did. Plus Jason Bonham was the drummer and Zakk Wylde was on guitar.

Blas Elias (Of Slaughter) was also in it as were Nick Cantanese and Brian Vander Ark who've been in bands such as Black Label Society & Verve Pipe (Kiss fans should be familiar with them).

I thought the music was great! It was just cheesy enough to be entertaining....
I haven't seen it in a while but since you reminded me it would be a good weekend watch.

couple little trivia thingies:

originally the working title was "Metal Gods" there is a direct nod to Rob Halford when you see the mansion scene and they show the stage outfit with all the leather and studs so with that and the judas Priest song with the same name. Add to that the first lead singer turns out to be gay they changed it so it wouldn't be considered a Judas Priest bio.


Second the song Stand Up was written by Sammy Hagar!

Love this film....lots of real talent are in this which makes it all good...

knew you'd love this film too...

As you say it's loosley based on Tim 'Ripper' Owens and his replacing Rob Halford in Priest back in the 90's.

You are correct about Sammy writing Stand Up. I think Twiggy Ramirez (sp) wrote a couple of tracks too.

He's drawing Upscope next Saturday night here in Vegas!! Tickets already bought & payed for...... $19 for a Steelheart show

'Scope

"Rock Star" is a really great guilty pleasure movie! I watch it every time it comes on TV. I should probably find the DVD. Love the soundtrack!!

I saw that at the show when It came out and I still LOVE it. At first I was like Mark Wahlberg, what?? With all the Rockers why him. He sorta grew on me though.


This cover band by my house does Stand Up...That song is a real crowd pleaser!!

Saw this movie when it first came out. LOVED IT!!
Watched it again this past weekend on E! and got my bf to sit and watch it with me. He HATES that kind of metal...but he loved Zakk Wylde!!! I like this movie lots!
