I agree with you on this one

I'm kinda digging the name "rock star: chevy nova"...i've been seeing that in a few places

Jerry Cantrell wrote enough of their songs. If he wanted to do it, I wouldn't have a problem with that. I would just consider it a different band because Layne Staley was so unique.

How about Faith No More? They went through about a half dozen singers anyway.

Creedence Clearwater "Revisited" has been touring forever with some guy who isn't John Fogerty. They'd probably be willing to dump him to get on tv.

I'm sure there are plenty of bands from the 80s and 90s who would like to get back together minus their singer. CBS should get together with the people that did that Bands Reunited show on VH-1. They could just do another season of that to find the band to use on Rockstar.

I didn't know the Steve Perry replacement was replaced. As corny as Journey is, I know I'd be watching.

That's probably because the guy who replaced him sounds exactly like him.

Fucking Night/Day.

Where the hell was this guy all summer?

umm considering Joey, Dee Dee and Johnny Ramone are all dead, i kinda think this option is out the window.

I don't think Soto sounds like Augieri. Augieri sounds like Perry, though.

ok... those tracks actually sound good. thank goodness for studio tricks. won't help him on tour, but it at least make him ok on the record.

Bill Simmons from ESPN.com on Rock Star:

1. You have to love any show where people get voted off and say final words like, "it was an honor being here, I grew up idolizing you guys, you're all legends" ... and the legends are Tommy Lee, Gilby Clarke and the dude with weird ears from Metallica.

2. Not only did the winner (Lucas) go from cooking chicken wings at Hooters to headlining a band of washed-up rock stars, but his original song "Head Spin" sounded like one of those haunting, Cure-like, romance-gone-bad tunes ... well, until he revealed that the song was actually about his mother. I'm telling you, stuff like this happened every week on "Rock Star."

3. The girl who should have won and didn't -- Dilana -- may or may not have been a dude. We'll never know. And frankly, I'm fine with that.

4. There wasn't a more mesmerizing summer TV presence than Storm Large (not a stage name, she claimed), who looked like the cute sister from Heart crossed with Jennie Finch, only with Mark Madsen's personality from every 2003 Lakers game thrown in. If she ever reproduced with Dane Cook, their kid would just stomp around holding its arms in the air, screaming "yeahhhhhhhh!" and making weird hand gestures until its head exploded. I am not prepared to live life without her. Couldn't she replace Elisabeth Hasselbeck on "The View"? I want to see Storm show off her pelvis tattoo to the girls, followed by Barbara Walters keeling over and falling to the ground.

5. Tommy Lee can't be calibrated on the Unintentional Comedy Scale anymore. It's impossible. Every time he decided to sit in on a performance and play drums, I couldn't handle it and had to leave the room. I'm not kidding. Watching him reminds me of being tickled as a kid, then the tickling going on for about 15 seconds too long, until you almost feel like you're going to throw up if it doesn't stop. That's Tommy Lee drumming for me. I can't handle it. Back to the column.

ha ha, i love the sports guy. great paragraph about storm, especially the mark madsen comparison. storm was the ultimate cheerleader from the sidelines.

The latter is what I meant.

Does anyone know if their playlist will include classic rock.

Or will all be new, "amazing" Supernova tracks?

They ought to play "You All Everybody" in concert, and then dedicate it to the bass player who died in a plane crash two years ago.

I'm sure there's probably very little way to know before their first concert. But I'll bet that we'll be getting Headspin all over again.

Are Eddie's tough times health related? I'm out of the loop on this one.

Appartenly Jordis is touring with Bo Bice from American Idol. I had no idea.

health, drinking, lunacy.

Good lord, he looks like Estelle Parsons...

anyone check out this clip of Lukas completely leaving his girlfriend outside of a club at the supernova after party??..this guy's gotta think towards the future...your band's a sham, you'll be a joke within a year...any chick that would stay with a troll like this for seven years will probably still be looking at you when you're washed up...not a great idea....

I think it's funny that the band doesn't want Lukas to be seen with a woman. Given the amount of makeup he wears, you would think they would want the opposite.

HA!!!...totally true!

He looks like my grandmother. . . just before she slipped into a coma and died.

It's often been said that smoking cigarettes prematurely ages you. (Of course, he is 51 years old...)
