Free Music Notes for Rock Star
Free Music Review: TALKING HEADS: "Once in a Lifetime"
Hit: 2 Stars
The song "Once in a lifetime" is featured in the movie and not on the soundtrack. This is very disappointing to leave out such a classic rock song.Free Music Review: Agree with a previous post
Hit: 3 Stars
The soundtrack to Rock Star is very good and reminds me of going to high school in the 80's; however, I think the Steel Dragon tunes should have been recorded with a live, raw feel instead of the super-slick studio polish. I was specifically disappointed with "We All Die Young" and "Blood Pollution"; it's as if the producer added parts to the the songs with a "wouldn't it be cool if we did..." attitude instead of a "simple is best" attitude. Overall, though, I like the soundtrack.Free Music Review: Not for everyone
Hit: 5 Stars
This is a fantastic soundtrack but it is not for everyone. If you don't like anything 80's than you had better avoid this album. If you liked the 80's of say Bananarama, Wang Chung or Tears for Fears but can't stand the sounds of Poison, Great White, Whitesnake, Judas Priest and Autograph then forget it. But if you have been been waiting 12 years for some new music in the classic style you love then pick up this CD.Free Music Review: Skip the movie, get the soundtrack
Hit: 4 Stars
The real story of this soundtrack is the fictitious band "Steel Dragon", which in actuality is Jason Bonham, Zakk Wylde, Jeff Pilson, and a pair of vocalists. They paired 80's metal with todays production, and the results rock!The movie is worth seeing if you want to see actors pretending to perform the music - but not for anything else, frankly.
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.
