Rock Star-Supernova

[Livia]

I'm sure he has a few times - but not in public. I have a drummer tech friend who swears Dave gave him "that look" backstage.

Tix for the show at Shea's are $36.50 & $46.50 before taxes & fees. Internet presale is going on now, and they're already into balcony seats. I'm not about to pay that much until I know who wins - and depending on who it is, I probably won't go.

Agree. That would be hot

LAist managed to stop crying for a few minutes last night (over our girl Zayra’s shocking departure last week) to tune into the latest episode of Rockstar: Supernova. So Tommy Lee, Gilby Clarke and Jason Newsted are continuing their search for a singer to front their band. Here’s what we got left:

Storm Large (yes, again, that’s the name she uses): Good singer, but a little too karaoke for our taste. She’s definitely the show’s resident drama queen. Her rendition of Aerosmith’s “Cryin’” showed us how good of a singer Stephen Tyler really is.

Toby Clark: Yummy Aussie beefcake. He put together an interesting arrangement of Clapton’s “Layla” last night – and as Tommy Lee pointed out, the chicks really dig him.

Ryan Star: The dark, brooding musician who’s piqued our interest lately. He sung an original song of his last night – a romantic ditty about doing it in the backseat of a car. The band asked why the radical improvement over the last few weeks. His answer: “I got laid.” That definitely scored points with Supernova. But he’s got to ease up on the mascara.

Patrice Pike: She also wrote the song she sang last night. We can’t really remember what it was about, but we don’t much care because she’s probably the next to go.

Magni: The ice man from Iceland performed Nirvana’s “Smells Like Teen Spirit” decently. He seems like a really nice family man, level-headed and well-liked by everyone – so how does that fit in with the rock’n’roll lifestyle?

And finally our two favorites:

Dilana took a really mellow song – “Every Breath You Take” by the Police – and put her lower register, breathy Stevie Nicks-esque voice stamp on it. While we don’t think that this was one of her better performances, she surely knows how to captivate an audience.

Lukas Rossi (photo) sang the Killers’ “All These Things” and started out strong vocally, but was a little off toward the end of the performance. In general, Lukas comes off as an arrogant punk who can’t dance for crap – and the Supernova boys love it. He could be the favorite right now. But, again, his too much makeup bugs us. Remember boys: a little goes a long way.

Tonight one of them will get the boot – and we’ll be surprised if it’s someone other than Patrice.

I actually enjoyed Lukas' performance this time, though it may have been the song. I liked the little primp in the mirror of the guitar. Making fun of the rockstar thing is good, especially when you are living in darkglasses.


Toby, that was a lame arrangement of Layla, and the hoodie outfit, even as precursor to shirtlessness was just lame also.

Dilana's version of "Every Breath You Take" was just boring and kinda bad. She can strut, but I don't think she can emote. I also think her vocal range is sadly limited, but that isn't really necessary for Supernova. I suppose her mother might have sung the little "Dilana, Dilana" thing to her as a child, and that is what I am going to tell myself, otherwise it would just be too repulsive. I liked the eyelashes, but I like them in a dance club better.

Patrice's song was happy, and she rocked, although it was weak, lyricly, and probably not right for this group.

I think Storm has decided she doesn't want to be in this group. I think she is bored with the music. I thought she did an excellent job, vocally, but her moves on stage were tired, repetitive.

I am begnning to think that nobody is good for this group, send them all home! In fact, send the band home too! Has beens, and never gonna be's.

Please add "never was" for Gilby.

Of course, I just realized something - I've seen the whole band live at one point or another! I've seen Metallica a few times, first being in 1989. GnR was in '91 (with Metallica, lol) and I believe Gilby was in the lineup at that point. I saw Crue too - probably 90 or so.

Loser. Teehee.

why this group needs a lead singer when Gilby, in the past, has competently sung lead for bands he was involved in (ie-KillForThrills).

Yeah, Gilby replaced Izzy Stradlin' in GNR in 1991 after Izzy left the band while on tour...And was fired around 1994. He is still friends w/W.Axl Rose.

Jason joined ME-Tallica ( ) after the death of Cliff Burton-"the major rager on the 4 string muthaf**ker".

As for Tommy Lee, Not to be taken in a racist way, but he wishes to be black (With all his contrived "Yo dawg" talk and hip-hop wannabe solo music). He has become a bigtime joke.

Sadly, Most metalheads think Supernova is a corporate joke that wont fly...More like a "never will" than "has-beens".

What they needed was $$, and a PR kickstart, which I guess is what the show is. There a re so many bands that are corporate constructions, metal and pop. My friend was in a metal band in the 80's that had some famous people in it (a parade of guitar virtuosos) and some guys they used to call the "company men". We watched Spinal tap with them one night, and not one of them found it funny, as they were big in Japan at the time.
