Avg Customer Rating: 
Product Description: More than merely a headbanger's take on A Star Is Born, Rock Star is, like all great Hollywood middlebrow fare, actually "inspired by a true story": the saga of an Ohio salesman/Judas Priest tribute band vocalist who one day found himself taking Rob Halford's place in the spotlight. But whether its music is big-hair throwback or merely ahead-of-the-curve '80s retro-hip is hardly a matter that will cause quantum theorists sleepless nights. Not surprisingly, the film's soundtrack sounds both distinctly virtual and marketing-department honed: a mix of modern rockers (Everclear's hard-pop title track, the Verve Pipe's "Colorful") and '80s vets (Bon Jovi's genre-defining "Livin' on a Prayer"). Steel Dragon, the film's fictional headliners, feature era vets Jason Bonham on drums, Zakk Wylde on guitar, and vocalist Jeff Scott Soto giving star Mark Wahlberg something to lip-synch. They re-create a frighteningly credible faux-'80s pop-metal ethos that ranges from the big-ballad Bon Jovi-isms of "We All Die Young" to the pounding, metallic Priest-cloning of "Livin' the Life" and "Blood Pollution," and the anthemic "Long Live Rock and Roll," the latter in a ham-fisted performance that begs to be subtitled "(But Please Retire Soon)." It's all enough to make long-suffering heavy metal fans cry out, "Why hast thou forsaken us, Spinal Tap?" --Jerry McCulley

Customer Reviews
Rock Star Soundtrack
The movie was a very fun ride. . . .when you can't watch, you can atleast welcome the goosebumps that come with WE ALL DIE YOUNG. We've all been there ~ front row, center stage ~ knew the words, felt the pull and could've jumped right up on stage and carried on with the show. If you feel it in your genes/jeans. . . . . . .STAND UP and shout!

80's Metal will never go out of style!!!!!!!
I have been searching for this soundtrack for months and I finally found it! First off to have Zakk Wylde plying on a few tracks it has to be amazing and it is! All of the Steel Dragon tunes rock and it makes me wish they would all tour together! There are some other classic tunes. My favorite part of the movie was the ending and the song "Colorful" by the Verve Pipe. Not my favorite band of all time but they truly shine on this early 90's alternative sounding tune. It's the same version from the movie that I was looking for! Enjoy!

ROCK THAT BRINGS YOU BACK!!
Awesome! I wish this got some radio play. Steel Dragon brings you back to the days of fast guitar and ball grabbing high notes!! It makes me want to grow my hair long again!! We listen to it so much my kids are hooked. If you love early 80's metal, you will love this album!! It rocks hard!!

Amazing CD
I bought this CD from Amazon because in Brazil it not exist. It is an Amazing movie with an Surreal sound track. A band created with one of the greatest musicians and guittar player in the world Zakk Wilde.

Rock Star - a decent soundtrack
Rock Star is a very underrated movie that I can see over and over again. The soundtrack isn't as great, even though I do enjoy hearing the songs from the movie. What I realized, again, is that the songs generally don't have enough power to last longer than what's shown in the movie, which probably is natural. My favorite tracks are, apart from Bon Jovi's "Livin' On a Prayer," Steel Dragon's "We All Die Young" and "Blood Pollution." I miss the rap track from Steel Dragon's "next album." All in all, a decent - alas not great - soundtrack.
