Free Music Review: Too bad there isn't a real Steel Dragon
Hit: 4 Stars
First off, I'm not a huge fan of Heavy Metal I do like some, but not all. This album however is really great. The best cuts are the Steel Dragon songs, in particular the power ballad, "We All Die Young". Mark Wahlberg does NOT sing on any of the songs, although he does sing bits and pieces of stuff in the movie. The "classic" songs mix in very well with the new Steel Dragon songs. What's even better is the placement of these songs in the movie. KISS's "Lick It Up" being probably the best placed song in the film, check it out and you'll see what I mean!! It really is too bad that there isn't really a group called "Steel Dragon". Hearing the songs on the album you'd think that it was a real band that had been together for years. A really great soundtrack to a pretty damn good movie!Free Music Review: More of a hair toss than a head bang, but still worth it...
Hit: 4 Stars
If you started out as a big fan of the movie score, simply couldn't get enough of the tunes, and bought the soundtrack, you might feel that the Aqua Net hairspray just didn't hold it together as well. In the immortal words of Cutty "do you think you could make it just a little more rauchy?" From movie to soundtrack some Dragon tunes fell from a squeal to a ping. Blood Pollution and Wasted Generation both retain their bollocks and you feel them shake the plastered layer of mascara off your lashes. I'd also ax the Everclear, INXS, etc. songs and replace them with AC/DC and Def Leppard, agreeing with Andy from Pitt below. That said, I still can't stop listening to the soundtrack. Steel Dragon was carved out of solid ROCK, baby. I'd sell my favorite KISS t-shirt to get to that show.Free Music Review: Great - but could have been better
Hit: 4 Stars
I had reservations about seeing this movie when it first came out, I just couldn't see Mark Wahlberg and Jennifer Aniston being a good example of 80's headbangers. When I did, I loved the movie and just had to get the soundtrack. While the Steel Dragon tunes are great, especially We All Die Young, it would have been better without the Everclear, INXS, Verve Pipe and Trevor Rabin songs. AC/DC's Are You Ready, Def Leppard's Let's Get rocked and/or Rock Rock Till You Drop were played in the movie and would have fit better with the soundtrack. All in all though, a great movie and a good soundtrack to complement it.Free Music Review: a must-have for any 80's child

This is a great movie and this cd is a must-have for any 80's child.
I bought the soundtrack, but was disappointed when I saw that Def Leppard's "Let's Get Rocked" wasn't on the soundtrack. Why didn't it make the cut?!?!
Vivian Campbell used to be in the crowd looking up at the band and wishing that he could be in the band and now he's up on stage and playing and singing with the band.
If Def Leppard would have made the cut, I'd have no reason not to give the cd 5 out of 5 stars. Oh well. Can't win them all I guess.
Free Music Review: THIS SOUNDTRACK ROCKS!
Hit: 4 Stars
Ok...I am a HUGE fan of the rock and roll/heavy metal genre, and I have not been able to stop singing "We All Die Young" since I saw the movie. That being said, I thought I had to buy the soundtrack...and it's really good. It's unfortunate that Mark Wahlberg doesn't sing on the soundtrack...on the upside, if Steel Dragons ever decided to tour, I'd go see them. The soundtrack has a really good mix of music, and is a must for anyone who head-banged along with the band, as I did.
