Supernova Release First Two Tracks

[Dave de Sylvia]

For those not in the know, Tommy Lee's supergroup thing chose their new singer Wednesday night and have already churned out two tracks.

Two new tracks from Supernova, featuring brand new lead singer Lukas Rossi, have been posted online via the band's myspace page.

Since early July, Supernova [Motley Crue drummer Tommy Lee, Star****ers guitarist Gilby Clarke and ex-Metallica bassist Jason Newsted] have been searching for a lead singer through the reality tv franchise Rock Star, broadcast by CBS in the US. On Wednesday night, the band finally decided upon Torontonian Lukas Rossi, whose previous credits include touring with The Tea Party and I Mother Earth.

'It's All Love,' a symphonic rock track and 'Be Yourself & 5 Other Clichés,' a glammed-up power-pop stomper are the first tracks officially released by the band. Both are presumed to appear on Supernova's Epic Records debut, produced by Butch Walker [ex-Marvelous 3] and penned for released November 21.

lol @ interest in thread.

Its come out just as bad as I expected it to be.

[EinzingerIsGod]

God awful.

[Shadows Within]

I would have watched this but I have no idea what time its on at....

[Huber]

I watched the last few episodes.

Lukas' Livin' on a Prayer was what won it for him I think. It pwned everyone else.

That

[Shattered_Future]

I couldn't stand any of them, to be honest. None of them were very good singers.

[Stoo]

This is pathetic. It's Rock-Idol.

The songs they release would be exactly the same regardless of who won.

123

although those songs where even worse than i expected

[Sleepy]

None of the covers that the prospective vocalists did were that bad. I thought a few of them were quite good, TBH.

But the group's stuff is absolutely AWFUL.

That
I thought it was a pretty bad performance. The reason the covers were so important on this show (apart from the fact it was a tv show) is because the singers would essentially be singing pre-written songs. I thought Lukas showed the most invention as goes making songs his own without sounding completely wrong for the band, but that cover was horrible. OK, it's a pretty one-dimensional song and even Jon Bon Jovi admitted BJ fans hated it when he stripped it down, but he should have known better. Nothing compares to Dilana's 'Psycho Killer' cover, though. It was ****ing nightmarish.

I don't like the first track, but the second one is really catchy. I hope they don't do too many slow tracks, Lukas is really bad at them.

[Apocalypticon]

he wasn't credible enough in the first place to sell out.

[Futuro]

Wow they are very impressive.

EDIT: Incase my sarcasm sucks, That was sarcastic^

[Cocaine]

I'm not digging it.

[Det_Nosnip]

Corporate and predictable...no shockers there. I guess it's not terrible for what it is, but not anything I'd have any interest in listening to again.

[Dave de Sylvia]

What were you expecting? The members are all stooped in pop metal, it's what they do.

[Dinosawesome]

I was going for Toby for the sole reason that he was an Aussie. Though he did a whack-cool job of Karma Police.

I didn't mind Lucas winning though, his original 'Headspin' is quite cool.

[DaveTheAmazing]

A band created like this is going to have around 0.01% control of their music, their image, and their business in general. Outside producers, and corporate marketting people are going to be the people behind this band, which is a shame, because this line up could have produced something interesting.

[Dave de Sylvia]

Why? This music sounds exactly the same as what Tommy, Gilby and Butch have been producing for 20 years.

[Storm In A Teacup]

The third guy (forgot his name) should have won. I'm really sort of pissed at how Jason dismissed him without a good reason. >:-(

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

I'm kind of pissed that someone let one of the contestants cover Karma Police. >:-[ It was soooo soooo bad. If that guy, this is surely a sign of apocolypse.

[Riziger]

hey.... the band's not that bad... ok maybe they are but the songs are catchy. how can u not sing along to hey hey hey ho ho ho...

i like Lukas a lot tho. i think he couldve been much better with Rise Electric. thought toby should have won coz he's on the poppier side.

not sure if i'll be getting their album. after following the show since the start i think i might..

>_>

<_<

[MrSigma]

This is pathetic. It's Rock-Idol.

Seriously, I thought Newsted was cool. But then the other day I saw an ad for Newsted and it was like a rock-idol thing. What a sellout.

[Kingofdudes]

Seriously, I thought Newsted was cool. But then the other day I saw an ad for Newsted and it was like a rock-idol thing. What a sellout.

Sellout? :rolleyes: Because musicians are required to have a high "moral" code, and cannot have fun with little reality show side projects right?

[MrSigma]

Sellout? :rolleyes: Because musicians are required to have a high "moral" code, and cannot have fun with little reality show side projects right?

yeah hes on american idol. he soldout. metallica turned him gay. hes probably haveing tea with bob rock right now.

[Dave de Sylvia]

Musicians aren't allowed make money. They should get paid in guitars.

[MrSigma]

Musicians aren't allowed make money. They should get paid in guitars.

you don't think being in Metallica for 14 years would make you filthy rich? He obviously has money already. He just wants to whore himself.

[Cocaine]

Does him being in a new band cancel out what he's done with Metallica and Voivod? No. So shut the **** up about it.

[Dave de Sylvia]

you don't think being in Metallica for 14 years would make you filthy rich? He obviously has money already. He just wants to whore himself.
He probably didn't even think it would be fun or anything, he just wants to be in magazines. What a ****er

[MrSigma]

He probably didn't even think it would be fun or anything, he just wants to be in magazines. What a ****er

i know. he is on myspace ads n ****

[Cocaine]

Wut a gay. lewler.


....

He left Metallica when? Get over it.

[MrSigma]

Wut a gay. lewler.


....

I don't care about that, though he was a better bassist than that drunken monkey wearing the metallica jersey

[Cocaine]

Rob? He's a much better bassist than Jason Newsted.

[MrSigma]

Rob? He's a much better bassist than Jason Newsted.

why would they get Rob? He is slap. That's why they didn't pick les claypool after cliff died.

[Cocaine]

He's still a better bassist, I didn't say he was better suited.

[MrSigma]

He's still a better bassist, I didn't say he was better suited.

true.

[encmetalhead]

i just didnt want dilana to win and after tobys wed. song i didnt want him to win i wanted either magni or Lukes to start with anyway

i see this band either turnign prog or punk after the first cd

[Cocaine]

I see them splitting up after one CD, because, correct me if I'm wrong, these musicians are notorious for being unable to work with other artists.

[Dave de Sylvia]

No, they're all more well known for being able to work with a lot of people. I do think they'll only do one album (two at most), but that's because Tommy's got a new Motley Crue album on the way and Jason is still working with Voivod (and shamelessly promoting them every week on the show), while Gilby seems to prefer being a solo artist and producer these days.

[Cocaine]

I thought Jason was done with Voivod? He wasn't on their last album, I thought.

I dont really know too much about the artists (as you can see), so I could be wrong (again).

[Storm In A Teacup]

When is the new Motley Crue coming out?

[Dave de Sylvia]

He only joined them for their last album, I think. He's known as Jasonic in the band, so you might have got confused. I dunno what's happening with Voivod now that Piggy is dead though.

The new Motley Crue CD isn't scheduled until next summer. They started work on it in May but they're touring and working around the Rock Star thing so.

[encmetalhead]

tommy lee is the only one of the 3 founding members i care about lmao

[MrSigma]

tommy lee is the only one of the 3 founding members i care about lmao

cuz hes got a big ****?

[Seafroggys]

I like this show, the singers on Rockstar could kill AI's singers any day of the week.

My favorite was Storm, she was an awesome singer (and damn hot too). Iceland Man (Magni) was probably my next favorite. Dilana was good as well, but I never liked Lukas that much (or the Aussie guy, for that matter).

As for Supernova and their music, I could care less. I just enjoyed a summer of rock music on TV.

[MrSigma]

why the hell do they want a female singer? Are they gay (pop)?

[Dave de Sylvia]

this guy is my new favourite troll

[Anglachel]

why the hell do they want a female singer? Are they gay (pop)?
Are you gay?

[MrSigma]

Are you gay?

No.

[Cocaine]

He's not gay, he's just insecure.

....and a terrible poster.

[MrSigma]

wtf cocaine

[Scoot]

Be Yourself really sucks.

[Crickets On A Plane]

Be Yourself really sucks.

I'm gunna b mah self n say it juz totally sux hawdkawr

[Dinosawesome]

I'm gunna b mah self n say it juz totally sux hawdkawr
That was always going to be a terrible pun no matter how badly you butchered the spelling.

gj at failing humour on the internet.

[encmetalhead]

so you calling Lacuna Coil and Walls of Jericho gay because they have female singers?

[Jacaranda]

gj at failing humour on the internet.
He is use to it by now I would imagine.

My favorite by far was Ryan, I thought the rest of them were awful for various reasons. I don't like the girls cause I didn't think they would fit well in the band. Magni had horrible taste in music and was annoying. Lukas had something wrong with his throat but when he wouldn't sing all raspy he was awesome (see: Creep) and I thought Toby was just generic.

[encmetalhead]

toby - generic
Lukus - slow songs killed him but was awesome
magni - too clean cut and sane
Ryan - he was good and should had gotten to last 3
diana - should have been gone after she dissed her "friends" and attacked Magni

[pate]

Toby had the best voice IMO and was the most "fun" of the singers.

[Dave de Sylvia]

I agree, actually, but being fun doesn't always translate well to record. He'd be a great karaoke singer, which is kind of what he was on the show anyway.

[Seafroggys]

no love for Storm I see.

[pate]

I didn't like her voice.

[Scoot]

Dilana sounded like she needed to lay off the 5 packs a day.

[Dave de Sylvia]

I thought that was her gimmick.
