Rockstar Supernova

I never got into the Rockstar INXS show that was airing over here (and in Australia I believe). I don’t know why, maybe because I was never the hugest INXS fan – I mean, I have their Greatest Hits CD, but that’s about as much love as I’m willing to give them.

But last night whilst running at the gym, the new season of the show – Rockstar Supernova – flicked across the screen. As usual, I couldn’t be bothered changing channels, so I continued watching. And I was impressed!

Basic premise of this series – a new band is forming (“Supernova”), and they’re auditioning for a new singer – American Idol style. The band will feature former members of Metallica, Guns ‘n Roses, and even Tommy Lee from Motley Crue! Unfortunately, you don’t get to see the original audition shows (which are usually the only ones I’m willing to watch in the Idol series); but that means you only get the quality contestants.

It’s being dubbed as a “worldwide show”, and the voting is open for 24 hours after it airs in the USA… so I’m guessing that it’s also airing in Australia now; if so, and you like classic rock type of music – then check it out!
