It's surely gotta be better than last time, right?

In case your wondering, Supernova is:

Tommy Lee
Jason Newsted
Gilby Clarke

Better than last time for what?

Last time for Rock Star? I expect it'll be good, but Rock Star: INXS was pretty good, too.

Last time for Motley Crue, Metallica and Guns & Roses? Probably.

Better than the last Rock Star.

INXS sucks for one. And then they took the pretty boy instead of the good one...

What do you expect from a band who's lead singer strangled himself trying to cum harder?

Moooo

That's a matter of opinion, I suppose. I'm not a huge fan, but they were a decent band, and one of the most influential of their era.

I agree with you there. They didn't take the one I voted for. Actually I didn't like either of the two finalists. I liked the dude that was from Australia (or was it New Zealand?), whatever his name was.

INXS influential? I'm gonna have to strongly disagree with that.

Selling records doesn't equal influential.

I thought JD had the better voice and was a good performer.

I thought Marty was OK but I don't think he had the right voice to handle the older INXS songs. I didn't like his style as much.

I thought JD fit INXS pretty well. They're both lame.

Seriously, I just thought JD's whole persona screamed "POSER!" And Marty's original song "Trees" was EXCELLENT.

Wasn't that the point of the show, to "pose" as the lead singer of a lame band.

I think Marty followed that song up with another one of his hit songs shrubs. That song was ok for the show but it wasn't anything I was going to run out and buy.

FYI, Marty's band did release an album after the show and it is pretty damn good. I'm just glad he didn't get stuck with those losers INXS.

I haven't heard their album but they've been on Mancow (ironically, they were on a few times BEFORE the show) and they sound alright.

Maybe in Austrailia. I think that's where they're from. Even still though, I'd say that would be a toss up between them and Silverchair.

I was referring to their era of the late 80s and early 90s. I don't think Silverchair was around then. During their time, they influenced quite a few bands. You can hear their sound emulated by several bands of that time, though most of them didn't stick around. I've even heard Edge from U2 cite them as an influence for some of U2's later work.

Silverchair came out around (don't quote me here) 1992. However the alternative sound would lead me to believe that they were the "next" era.

What gets me is all the advertisements I keep seeing about how "one of these people will become the new lead singer for Tommy Lee's new band Supernova!" I understand that Tommy Lee is the best known of the three, but Gilby Clark and Jason Newstead aren't exactly no-names!
