Rock Star Season II

**JimJamBonds** · 03-20-2006

I generally don't watch 'reality shows' but this one might be intersting....

The next season of Rock Star will involve finding a singer for the group Supernova. Who is Supernova? Well they have yet to record one second of material, the members are Motley Crue drummer Tommy Lee, former Metallica bassist Jason Newsted and Gun N' Roses guitarist Gilby Clarke.

This COULD be interesting... or really sucky.

I'm in just for Gilby. His solo stuff is incredible and majorly underrated.

I'm glad I didn't try out.

I hate to see Jason Newsted lower himself to this.

I guess he must be giving up on having any more of a serious career.

I started watching the first season about half way through and, despite the fact it was INXS, I really enjoyed the show. There were some really good singers on there. Too bad the end result ended up being subpar with only 2 or 3 decent-to-good tunes on the album.

I like the idea of starting a brand new band in the new one. I'm looking forward to it.
But I can't help but wonder if the name Supernova is going to stick - remember the song "Chewbacca" from Clerks? It was by Supernova.

I've seen ads for this now, and they keep hyping it as "Tommy Lee's new band."

Feh. Tommy Lee. Good glam-metal drummer, but overrated overall. Gilby and Jason are both a bazillion times better. I'll watch for them, and hope Tommy and the contestants don't steal too much limelight.

BTW, I actually really like INXS, but refused to watch the first season at all. There's a difference between auditioning a replacement for an dead iconic frontman who was the only reason anyone listened to your band, and auditioning a singer for a new band.

i caught a few episodes of this last season and though i can't be sure how this season will work, it might be that you won't ever really see newsted and gilby and the others playing as they'll probably be judges. with INXS, i don't think they played with the contestants until the final show.

That's right - J.D. Fortune's first time perfroming with INXS was the final show.
But every week the "bottom 3" contestants would sing INXS songs to try to save their butts from being booted.
