Free Music Notes for Rock Star
Free Music Review: "Colorful" return!
Hit: 5 Stars
This is a splendid Soundtrack compilation encompassing all that we know and love about 1980's Heavy Metal. What better songs to typify that great era than "wild Side", "Lick It Up', and "Livin' on a Prayer"?The shining moment, though, is provided by Michigan platinum Pop rockers The Verve Pipe whose gem "Colorful" closes the album in fine fashion. I can't imagine seeing Mark Walburg lip-synch (on film) over Brian Vander Ark's tender and very emotional vocals on this entrancing and emotionally-moving piece. Very similar in style and nature to the band's 1997 breakthrough hit "The Freshmen". A very fine return to form for this band! So glad it was included among the "heavier" songs here. Though this song is far from Metal it is so heavy in an altogether different emotional way that it surely belongs.
The 5 Steel Dragon originals personify the well-known style of the 1980's and are brilliant (though they sound dated which can be a very good thing in this instance). And they should be since they were penned by such authorities as Sammy Hagar, Autograph's Steve Plunkett and Desmond Child. One is a great power ballad (of course, since these were a staple of the "Hair Band" craze) "We All Die Young". Also the heavy "Blood Pollution" which is the song the tribute band in the film (featuring The Verve Pipe's Brian Vander Ark) took their name from. A fitting cover of the appropriately titled classic "Long Live Rock and Roll" is given the Steel Dragon 2001 treatment making a total of 6 new SD songs included. For those unaware, Steel Dragon features 80's metal alumni Zach Wylde, Jeff Pilson, Jason Bonham, Nick Catanese and vocalists Jeff Scott Soto and Mike Matijevic. A true all-star Metal band of the highest caliber to say the least. Playing the music they love, no doubt.
Any collection including quality KISS, Bon Jovi and Motley Crue 1980's classics is guaranteed to sell based on that fact alone. But leave it to The Verve Pipe to provide the soundtrack's most enticing cut both lyrically and musically in 2001. "The show is over close the storybook, there will be no encore..."
