Rock Star

[Unchainme]

Just watched the movie on VH1 like at 1 o'clock in the morning last night. I must say the movie was auctually kind of interesting, Except for the part that Mark Wahlberg was casted as THE LEAD ROLE, They screwed up Big Time by doing that, I mean the guy DEFINITLY was not raised by Heavy Metal music. And he acts like a complete wuss the whole time. I liked the fact that they recruited Jason Bonham and Zakk Wylde in the movie, But What The Fuck? Mark Wahlberg are you fucking serious. Anyways I just found this interesting, What was everyones thoughts on the movie.

i think i have seen that,is the band in it like steel dragon or something?

I thought the movie was mildly amusing - not worth seeing twice but it didn't suck. Mark Wahlberg was decent, I think he is a better actor than "musician" or whatever you want to call what he did when he was known as "Marky Mark" - he was awesome in Boogie Nights which if you haven't seen I would highly recommend that you rent tonight!

[fuckhowardstern]

ummmm....the movie "Boogie Nights" may not be suitable for the 17 and under crowd....ahem.....

I've already seen Boogie Nights Thought It was okay, The Soundtrack was mixed with a grate combo of 70's pop. I'm Dirk Diggler Bitch!

I really liked the film. I thought the music was pretty damn good..the story...not bad at all. Rented it when it first came out...bought it a couple of weeks later. I dont look at it as a film based on heavy metal....I took it more as someone who was really into a metal group and got the chance of a lifetime. There were some really good moments and some that kinda made me cringe. All in all it's definatly worth a viewing. I see where you're coming from with Mark Walberg as the lead (singer) though...but to be honest...I never liked the guy until I caught Boogie Nights...one of the best films ever made. From that point on I liked the guy. The way I look at it..if you can act you can act...period. Speaking of Boogie Nights...I';m about to start a thread...rock on UNCHAINME!!! PS)Watch it again...uncut. RENT IT.

At the risk of sounding like an idiot... I just found out about a month ago that Rock Star was based on Tim "Ripper" Owen and how he was picked to replace Rob Halford. The movie was kind of lame though...

I kinda dug the soundtrack. Mike Matjevic has some pipes. A couple of those tunes were stuck in my head when I saw it. Then I found out Roy wrote "Stand UP And Shout" and I did until I blew out my own eardrums as punishment for having that on a constant loop without commercials for about 24 hours straight. It was only the second time I wished the ringing in my ears would just make my head explode so I wouldn't have to listen to that shit. The first was hearing Scott Stapp open his mouth to talk let alone sing.

Yes but At least they featured Ralph From The Atomic Punks cover of Dave's Cover of California Girls. Kinda Hard to believe Hagar would auctually write something other than a pussy love ballad. I auctually kinda like the song auctually jsut creeps me out Hagar wrote the song.

Freakin' loooove that movie. Except for the tranny escort chick part.
Love Steel Dragon's cover of Rainbow's "Long Live Rock n Roll".
Bonzo's son on skins, together with Zakk Wylde forming a cool metal band - even if only on screen.


Stand Up and Shouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut!

[Hardrock69]

My favorite part is when Zakk leans out the bus window with his shotgun and blasts a road sign that says something like "Wichita 20 Miles" and says "Take THAT WICHITA!" BLAM!!!!

I lived there for many years, and have always felt that way about the place.

So the movie is not without some redeeming values.

When they get to the mansion, and he is looking at the '58 Flying V in the case...I was drooling...
