Have you seen the movie "Rock Star"??? - GoFuckYourself.com

Hooper · 02-04-2002, 10:52 PM

If so.. who is the band that the movie is about?

I know that it's "Steel Dragon" in the movie... but is it a made up band or is it a mock of a real band?

Motley Crue?
Slaughter?
Winger?
Who???

AaronM · 02-04-2002, 10:54 PM

Well, I bought the soundtrack and all of the credit for the Steel Dragon songs goes to the Steel Dragons.

No joke. Even the credits in the movie refers to them.

Hooper · 02-04-2002, 10:59 PM

That kinda spoils it all...

i thought maybe it was motley crue or van halen.
fuckin a bubba

the band that movie was done after was the heavy metal band judas priest...

the lead singer came out as a gay men...

the funny part is that the leader singer was giving an interview to a heavy metal magazine and was asked... which celebrity he would like to have sex with and he replied HOWIE LONG... and came out of the closet...

funny stuff

tekart · 02-04-2002, 11:34 PM

Yep..and I think the show that talked about this might have been the "Behind the Story!"...can't recall if that's a MTV production or VHI..

In either case, this new lead singer is living his freaking dream.
Like the band in the movie, this guys band played cover songs of Judas Priest and I don't recall how but one of the other members from Judas Priest was at a show and saw this guy...and befor he knew it...he's the new lead signer! Go figure!

His voice is almost similiar to that of Rob Halford...scary actually!

Homo or not, Judas Priest rocks baby.

And talk about lead singer soundalikes, listen to Journey's new frontman, he sound exactly like Steve Perry and shit if he don't look like him too.

Who gives a Rat's ass about a singer's sexual orientation ...

Fags put out some of the BEST music

Exibit A: Freddie Murcury, Elton John, George Michaels, (Let's not forget about a little in-bed episode between David Bowie and Mick Jagger, that prompted the filing of divorce papers by Angie Bowie)

Exhibit B: Anybody who likes to partake in a bit of herbal pleasure, knows that gay clubs provide a safe haven from the cops ... and the music is MUCH FUCKING BETTER than in the majority of our straight clubs !!! (sorry to say ... but it is the truth)

OK ... lets hear al the HOMOPHOBES respond now ...

Rocky · 02-05-2002, 01:10 AM

you forgot to mention in Exhibit A:

kd lang, Melissa Etheridge, Culture Club, Frankie Goes To Hollywood, Bronski Beat, Tchaikovsky, Bessie Smith, Morrissey (of The Smiths), Joan Jett, Sinead O'Connor, Catie Curtis, Joan Baez, Andy Bell, Janis Ian, Indigo Girls, Aaron Copland, Benjamin Britten, Pete Townshend, Ani DiFranco, Pet Shop Boys, Meshell Ndegeocello, Michael Stipe, Cole Porter, Duke Ellington, Leonard Bernstein, Frank Schubert, The Village People, and Jimmy Sommerville

plus the dancing is better and the staff is better dressed ;)))

the character Mark Wahlberg plays is losely based on Ripper Owens who, as pointed out above, replacd Rob Halford in Judas Preist. Ripper worked at Staples and was in a Judas Priest cover band. Judas Priest even had a lawsuit against the movie, so some things were changed. The reason Steel Dragon is listed ni the credits and the soundtrack is that they actors actually performed the songs themselves. To get "into the roles" they also did some touring as Steel Dragon, but at the moment, I can't remember who they opened for.

I liked the movies, but it felt more like a chick flick than the typical rock and roll, party hard type movie I was expecting and have grown nostalgic for from my touring days....

Dude... gay clubs are friggin fun... i'm not quite comfortable enough to ever go by myself or with other guys.. but when my wife and her girlfriends wanna go... i'm out shakin it on the floor with the best of em ;-)

The co-ed bathrooms are the only thing that i find a bit odd... not for emotional/mental reasons.. but mostly cause drunk guys pee on the toilet seats.... i guess the girls just do the "hover squat" hahahaha

cyberpunk · 02-05-2002, 10:41 AM

That movie rocked... won;t win any award, but reminded me of growing up... we;ll not relaly gowing up but of my younger years

Jakke PNG · 02-05-2002, 10:46 AM

Only good gay artist mentioned so far is Freddie Mercury, he atleast had some talent.

Think of gay artists, think of Boy George.

hehe...

so true

i mean, Pete Townshend only wrote those two lousy rock opera's, Tommy and Quadrophenia

Duke Ellington was only a hack when writing the most popular big band and jazz songs of the era

the Indigo Girls are just two illiterate dykes who know absolutely nothing about philosophy

Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake and The Nutcracker is hardly ever heard or seen in the world of ballet and the 1812 Overture was atonal

the only thing worse than a talentless musician, is a gay talentless musician
