Here we have something from Lukas Rossi’s new band, Stars Down<\/b> – a track named Bleeding The Dream<\/b>:<\/p>\n

Now compare that to Rock Star Supernova<\/b>‘s first video, Headspin<\/b>:<\/p>\n

Man, what happened to Tommy Lee (Motley Crue), Gilby Clarke (Guns N Roses) and Jason Newsted (Metallica)? Did they all decide to get together in the name of Mark Burnett, king of reality TV, and make pussy music?<\/p>\n

I could think of some local bands I see who make pussy music. But I’m too pussy to name them.<\/p>\n

I’d also say that the one song I heard from Stars Down was impressive enough for me to say that they have a bit of dynamics ala A Perfect Circle. But I’m too pussy to say this, in case the real A Perfect Circle fans tell me otherwise, which would be legit since I really don’t know much about A Perfect Circle. I’d be more likely to buy a Tool album (but I didn’t, only because I rarely buy albums.)<\/p>\n

I finally watched Airheads<\/b>. When else will you see Adam Sandler as a rocker? I salute the movie’s capability to develop sympathy and the Stockholm Syndrome. You end up really liking Joe Montegna. And disliking Michael McKean as Milo, who turns KPPX Rebel Radio into an easy-listening station. But I loved him in This Is Spinal Tap<\/b> as David St. Hubbard! Who would have thought until the credits roll and you head over to IMDB<\/a>!<\/p>\n

I caught Tropic Thunder<\/b> too. Explosive action of the funniest degree. You’d know damn right that Jack Black wrote that scene in where he bites a bat’s head in tribute to Ozzy Osbourne. You just know it’s his idea. And woohoo to Edgar Winter Group – Frankenstein<\/i> making it in the movie at one point. And boohoo to people who think Simple Jack was a bad joke – the joke isn’t in the m-m-m-movie itself, but in the lines that follow:<\/p>\n
