TVweek.com just published an article about reality shows that should be renewed, and guess which show is leading the online voting? Rock Star is far in the lead, currently with 79% of the vote!

If we want the show to come back, we need to show CBS how popular it
is – and the best way to do that is to VOTE, and leave no doubt that
Rock Star is the show most deserving of a time slot in the coming
year.

The current buzz is that Led Zeppelin is considering doing the show.
How do you feel about that? Would you watch? Would it be a smart move
for the band? Do you have a better idea?

However you feel, make your voice heard! Make a comment or two both at
TVweek at the end of the article AND at RockBandLounge.com – every
comment counts!

CBS is listening and we have a platform right now with this poll to
make our voices heard. So please, take the time to go vote and to post
a comment or two. It’ll be worth it, when our favorite show comes back
next year. After all, once Brooke Burke wins Dancing with the Stars
she’ll need her “regular” job back!

Stars Down is Minty Fresh…

by

In the last stand of their residency at The Mint I saw the band play July 29th…

Stars Down at The Mint

I have seen Lukas play 2x previously acoustic…this was my first time seeing him accompanied by the new band…

I was convinced I liked him calm, thoughtful, and focused on his music, and voice. I was never a fan of the drunken frankenstein bit, that frankly was a turn off for me from his Rockstar: Supernova performances on the TV.

But, alas, that may have been just distant memory, because he was both melodic and fun to watch amongst his new bandmates in Stars Down. This band incarnation, is interesting, and you can see they are starting to get that organic band thing going.

I wish them much success. We(my friends and I) got to hang out with the Bass player, German Briseno, after, and hear what it is like being in this band, other bands, and what it is like to choose this life, a musician’s life…

I am a big supporter of the creative path in life…I myself struggle with having made the ‘safe’ decision to work in the business world over pursuing more creative endeavors. And I love music, as a consumer… I respect that the folks that struggle, oft times for years, chasing their dreams, may make it, or may just get by. The pursuit of what is art, and I believe music is art…is a long hard road. Sure there are “rockstars”…but mostly, there are folks that toil day to day, from band to band, dark bar to dark bar, playing their music for whomever will listen…Because they believe. Anywho, I just want to say to German, Lukas, Jon, keep doing what you are doing. Follow your bliss. Dream the dream.

And with that…I sipped my Diet Coke this evening, and snapped a few images from my lovely table right in front…

Mark Burnett talking to bands for Rock Star 3
February 8, 2008

quote:So what’s the current status of Rock Star, and will it be back for a third season? Here’s what Mark Burnett revealed to us about the future of Rock Star:

“Yes, it’s funny… you look at these online studies and one of the most requested shows to come back, from anything I’ve done, is Rock Star. And yes, I’m in discussions with various bands. But there is one flaw as a business in that you have to find a suitable rock band that actually wants to find a new lead singer. So you’ve got a barrier to entry, but yes, we are in discussions and people do want to see that series again.”
