A prefabricated alternative song is just embarrassing.) Everclear's "Rock Star" already appeared on Songs From an American Movie, Vol. (Metal, for all its flaws, is unapologetically commercial: as beautiful as it is bombastic and as poignant as it is plastic. Twiggy Ramirez from Marilyn Manson donates "Blood Pollution" for the band of the same name and Sammy Hagar supplies the typically brain-dead "Stand Up." An awful Verve Pipe coffeehouse number goes down in flames just as it does in the movie. Like always with fictional bands, the music must live up to the images and the precedence, and rarely does. Like the film, this soundtrack is ambiguous as to whether it actually loves the music or sees metal as a fascinating and brief moment in pop culture. The new Steel Dragon songs (especially "We Die Young," which is sung by perfect-choice lung-buster Mike Matijevic of Steelheart) paint a portrait of a great time in metal, but you don't put your fist in the air or bang your head to a portrait. Both these bands are comprised of less-than-legendary metallers from Black Label Society (Slaughter and Dokken).
ROCKSTAR ORIGINAL MOVIE
The movie was originally titled Metal God, and that's exactly what the new songs lack.
This scenario is reenacted through two fictional bands: Blood Pollution, the proletariat tribute band, and Steel Dragon, the professional stadium sensation. The movie Rock Star is based on the Cinderella (not the band) story of Tim "Ripper" Owens, the lead singer of a Judas Priest cover band who actually joined Priest when the storied Rob Halford exited.
