Rockstar 2007

Anyone know if CBS is going to have this in 2007 ? I was hoping it was just going to be on TV in May/June.

Just to piggy-back on your post, which band would everyone like to see on the show if/when it comes back?

I've read on the net that it is completely cancelled and not coming back. The second season was terrible.

Thank God! If I had to see one more pseudo-rocker, up there, giving phoney-ass devil horns, I was gonna scream! INXS season blew. I had high hopes for the Super Nova season, but that quickly fizzled, especially based on who each band picked, in the end. Jesus, that friggin' Chacka-from-Land Of The Lost-lookalike from the second season! Sounded like he sang with a wad of s@#$ it his mouth! You coulda replaced his lines with clips of the Tazmanian Devil, and noone woulda noticed!

I hear Jeff Scott Soto left Journey. Rock Star Journey anyone?!?

I just spewed Pepsi everywhere.

I would certainly hope Journey had more integrity than to shill themselves out on TV.

[Axewielder]

What, Tommy Lee doesn't have integrity?!?

If I remember correctly, Jeff was only filling in, because their current singer had an illness/injury.

Jeff was OFFICIALLY announced as the new singer back in December, and last week was OFFICIALLY booted from Journey. The rest of Journey is relaxing till '08 and deciding on a completely NEW singer who will protect their "legacy".

Funny that this popped up this morning as well relating to Rock Star: Supernova...


ROCK STAR: SUPERNOVA DIMINISHED INTEREST IN TOMMY LEE SUGGESTS LEGAL CLAIM:
Industry Gossip site TMZ posted the following article late yesterday:
Legendary hard rockers Motley Crue have filed a $20 million lawsuit against one of their managers, claiming "greed," "extortionist tactics" and terrible career advice caused the band to lose millions of dollars in profits and tarnished the band's stellar reputation.
In the lawsuit, filed today in Los Angeles County Superior Court, the four founding members of the band (Nikki Sixx, Vince Neil, Mick Mars & Tommy Lee) through Motley Crue Inc., claim manager Carl Stubner and Sanctuary Management Group gave them bad business advice and attempted to "divert revenue from [the band] and redirect it to themselves. Furthermore, the suit claims, Stubner forced Tommy Lee to "to become engaged in 'reality' projects that were bad career moves for Lee, harming [Sixx, Mars, Neil and Lee], the Motley Crue brand and Lee's own image." The suit calls the low-rated NBC show "Tommy Lee Goes to College" a "critical disappointment and a ratings disaster," adding it painted Lee as "incoherent, lazy and incompetent" and made him "look like a laughing stock who could not carry a drum beat." The suit also claims Lee's participation on "Rock Star: Supernova" "diminished the public's interest in Lee and their overall perception of his musical talents."
Because Lee was so busy doing reality TV, the band says he was unavailable to tour with the Crue, thus causing the cancellation of several key concert dates. The band claims that they lost $8 million in ticket and merchandise revenue because of Lee's scheduling conflicts. The band claims these conflicts were "both real and concocted" by Stubner to "leverage his control over Lee to his financial advantage and to Motley Crue and Lee's detriment."
A call to Sanctuary was not immediately returned.

Wow. Goes to show I'VE been in a hole for the past year!

I think the whole lawsuit thing with Crue is funny. Tommy takes bad advice, looks like an ass, and it's someone else's fault? Hey Tommy, it was YOUR ultimate decision to DO these projects. Best as I can tell, noone put a gun to your head.

Thanks for the fun read, Ralph.

[Ralph E.]

No problem!

My response to the Motley lawsuit?

+1,000,000! This is what's killing our country and ruining our young people today. Absolutely no personal responsibility. I feel for him but he hasn't got a leg to stand on IMHO. If I lose money in the stock market due to some bad advice from my broker, am I entitled to a refund? I think not.

Motley kicks major ass, but this is silly. They should just forget about all this shit, they are doing things wich are against their beliefs... not cool.

and well like Vince said.... Tommy has a hard time being himself... he allways wants to do what's cool at the moment... that's not what Motley is about... they were the trendsetters... not followers
