Rock Star Supernova tickets are the latest attempt to bring a supergroup together and experience commercial success. Although almost every other supergroup in history has enjoyed critical acclaim, none have really hit the big-time in terms of commercial sales. However, Rock Star Supernova is off to a good start, as their very formation was as public as it gets, and millions of people understand the nature of the project. We’ll take a look at their formation below and attempt to figure out what to expect from rock’s latest supergroup.
Formation
Rock Star Supernova came together in a very public way. The original members of the band are all well-known around the world. The members include Tommy Lee from Motley Crue, Jason Newsted from Metallica and Gilby Clarke from Guns N’ Roses. Their skills formed a complete band in all but one way - they needed a lead singer.
The band decided to use their collective name recognition in order to complete their lineup. As a result, their search for a front man became the basis for a reality television show in 2006 on CBS. Rock Star featured a season-long contest of elimination, and for more than two months, singers auditioned and the choices were narrowed every week.
In September of 2006, the band made their choice, with the help of the viewing audience, which had been voting online. The choice was Lukas Rossi, who had experience singing with smaller bands, but had never hit the “big-time.” He certainly did as a result of this contest.
Anticipation
Not only are fans waiting for the chance to get their hands on Rock Star Supernova tickets, but they’ll be waiting at record stores everywhere when their first album is released. Their first two singles, “Be Yourself And 5 Other Clichés” and “It's All Love” are already getting strong play on radio stations all over the United States.
However, there has been a recent development that will force fans to wait just a bit longer to see the new supergroup live. In October of 2006, Newsted was injured in rehearsal while attempting to catch a falling bass amp head. As a result of the accident, Newsted shredded his shoulder and tore his bicep. These injuries will prevent Newsted from playing for nine months.
In the meantime, the band has added former Black Crowes bassist Johnny Colt as a temporary replacement, and the band will continue to play and record until Newsted is able to return to the lineup. When all of this comes together, though, given all the fanfare and talent, Rock Star Supernova tickets will be a chance to see what we think will be one of the most successful bands of all time.
