Lukas was the right choice, you doubt there. he is an artist.

see, you already posted the press photo...she was right the whole time. whole show was a sham and the fix was in. ha ha

Opps, I meant No doubt there. No doubt that Lukas was the right choice. He is so great, they made the right choice.

Well that photo was obviously taken soon after they announced the winner.

You know, at first I didn't think I was going to like this show as much as the one with INXS, but in it's own way, I enjoyed it more.

I liked Toby, but Lukas does have that edge that Toby doesn't.

Good show, Dave! *pinches ass*

no, it was taken weeks ago just like janet said...they just had to make sure to wear the same clothing tonight or it would have been more obvious. in fact, it may have been photoshop'ed just to be sure. and look at lukas's face, you can tell he isnt happy at all that he won.

Yeah, Lukas has the it factor, theres just something about him.

He's an "it" alright ... lol

Supernova got it right.

LUKAS ROSSI IS A ROCK STAR. Period. Thanks for coming all!

Why on earth would they go to that trouble of taking a photo and making sure they wore the same cloths.

It is VERY obvious that was a last minute photo, and not a rigged deal. Not really elated about their choice in lead, but I still bought my ticket for the Dallas show on Feb 11. I only bought one ticket cause I'm the only one within 300 miles that I know is watching RS:SN, but that's cool. I know it will be an awesome show!

so yay for the canuck (im writing here from the t.dot). not a lukas fan at all, but hey. dilana got the BEST deal of the show! she rocks the house, she is incredible....a theo ala lunachicks for the 2000's. she'll do her own shit which (in my opinion) will be WAY killer. can not wait.

i love that this show gave me the chance to see these singers.

and dave. i had a huge crush back in the day. dude...it's back. GO panic channel!!!

Dave --

Lukas grew on me week after week, even though I was pulling for Dilana. But tonight, I won twice. I get to see both excel.

It was an awesome gesture for Gilby to offer the producing and songwriting support for Dilana's album -- and props to you as well for offering to play guitar. Almost as good as if you had asked Dilana to join Panic Channel.

Sweet end to a lovely ride of a season.

Peace.

HAHAHAHA is this a joke? until last week, you were saying "i couldn't stand to watch lukas perform for more than two hours". overnight, that changes and he's suddenly amazing. please, dave. show us some consistency. it's not always about being press' best friend.

American Idol had all these celebs show up for their finale ... was Paula Abdul the only one that showed up for Rock Star's Finale Show?

im just messin guys...pokin fun at the haters since that is all garbage that they would say :)

LAmusing at September 13, 2006 07:51 PM

"Also, Lukas gets the gig, Toby gets a car, Ryan gets a car,and Dilana as runner up gets... uh...

Not okay."

I agree. Yes, she got Gilby's offer (ha, he knew he should saw write and produce NOT play guitar) but why not a car? Second place gets what? I mean that was pretty weak that Dilana and Magni got $0.

I wish Toby, Magni and Dilana well, hope they come out of it with record deals, minimum. Dave please do something with Dilana...
There was a rumor that all the 15 rockers would be there for finale...those who went to the taping were they? If not, they should have been, that would have rocked doing a "group" song...

hey, I watched the final webisode last night after the show...which showed the final four leaving the mansion...where did they go? That obviously was filmed Sunday or so....what did they have to sleep at the studio or did they get to shack up in a hotel, as a reward for making the final four?

I missed the part of last nights show...anyone who was there (Sunday)Tuesday, what was the response? Did SN or Dave talk to him? Did the rockers welcome him back? Just curious!

Dave did you record with Stormy today?
Wish I could go see you at Buzzfest in October!I am graduating with my MBA on September 25, so I keep answering "I want a trip to see Dave in Houston" when asked what I want. No one has said yes yet! Boo-hoo.

I plan on becoming family here at 6767...
Happy vacation...

DAVE

Thanks for another great season of RS. I think you made the show great again. It is a great opportunity for all involved and I love it taking Rock music and pushing it out on Prime time. I hope we see you next year.

Yours Truly

Danielle

My first post after alot of lurking all season. Dave, I think you're the best! Thanks for all that you did this these past few months. You were one of the main reasons I watched the show. Since you are friends with the guys, I'll take your word for it that they chose the right front man. I personally would've preferred someone else, but they obviously saw something I never did. Thanks for keeping it real, and good luck with the tour!

Good show Dave. What ever the outcome I watched to see "what's Dave gonna do tonight?" Love you Dude. See you soon. Can't wait for Panic in the Streets. There will be Panic everywhere.> Loving you Always. Peaches

Another Candian . Way to go Lukas. Thanks Dave. Looking forward to next season.

You Know I keep seeing how Pukas has the EMO rock thing going... Look you can take a bag of shit put it in a box and slap a sticker on it and call it Rockolio cereal and all you will end up with is Shit,,, If he is what EMO is then Rock is truly dead. SuperFizzle had a chance to bring true rock back to the young generation but allas they went the cheep bubble-gum, Posser Rock, All I want is a dick to attracked 15 year olds into my bus cuz after a year we are dumpping the band type of group...

I am so fucking happy. They definitely made the right choice...and I already have their first single stuck in my head...so YAY

Dave, I hope that your tour with SN proves to the music critics and public that the Panic Channel deserves some attention, since they haven't noticed yet. Maybe you guys will get lucky and finally crack the top 40. Here's hoping! Good luck to all of you.

Good choice, Yep, I'm happy with that. Tobes has a bright future when he finally gets his arse back home here!

Dave, just a question though.. who else will be touring with the Houseband other than Dilana? I have it in my head that it was going to be a selection of our fav performers this season, but so far only Dilana has been 'officially' asked. So can you give us a heads-up pretty please?

Gonna miss you on my tv Dave, can't wait til next years Rockstar:Find_KFed_A_Band.. haha, cheers Dave, it was a good laugh!

the thing that is going to be tough for SN is that the songs that were played on the show, people will still compare them to how Dilana, Magni, and Toby did them

Damn! I always thought I had pretty good taste in music (in fact, I've built a career around it in radio), but I'm starting to doubt myself! I couldn't stand J.D. last season and Lukas was the only one this season that I really didn't like. Both went on to win. Maybe I should get my hearing checked...ha ha

Lukas was a great choice. All of the last 6 singers were terrific. The band just happened to think that he was a better fit; I personally, agree with them but that's my taste.

For the conspiracy people: Haven't you heard of digital cameras? Hence the instant pics. LOL. That's one prime example at making a mountain out of a mole hill.

Have a great everying all..Love will stop wars..not hating..

I'm in the West. I'm watching the show right now...just because I want to see the process.

Dave,

Hey man, the hate here is nothing compared to what goes on in other blogs. Don't be so sensitive, you're a rocker. Usually my hangout is the Lakers blog in the L.A. Times. It gets intense in there during the season. Anyway, here's a sample of what I do with it.

http://lakersblog.latimes.com/lakersblog/2006/05/extra_extra_514.html#comments

One more thing Dave,

Paula Abdul on the show yesterday was cool. I watch American Idol, too, because I love singing competitions. You're show is different but for sure you have a hit. If there is a show next year...I'll be checking it out.

Later,
mike

Well, I was a Dilana fan, but can dig Lukas too. However - he seriously needs some vocal coaching so we can understand what he is saying and to "open up" as Jason would say. Hey Dave - I'm available to do some coaching ;)

you would think that the final 5 would be with the house band...dilana, toby, magni, storm, and ryan. ryan has been on opie & anthony a couple times, and credit them for helping him get the encore since their fans are nuts. he was on today and i think he said that the Darkhorse will ride on the SN/TPC tour

Phew! What a great ride. A great post-comment Dave. You hit it right on the head!
I was pretty okay with seeing whom-ever and TPC on tour. The posts about selling their tixs was wild. Geez, it's just a rock show! EVS man EVS.

I took a chance bought em' early got good seats

AND

see ya in February!!

G-man - Out.

Hey Dave!

You're the man!

I just don't get all the negativity and conspiracy theories. It's a show. Everyone knew only one person would be chosen. It's weird how people get so hostile...as though you had a vested interest.

Lukas is great. It's a great opportunity for him. AND for the rest of the nobodies that get on any show like this. They have their moment...so live vicariously through them. They all got farther than you! Good for them.

Lukas is amazing!!! He sounded fantastic on the songs and for sure I will buy the CD. If they come to my area I will go to a show for sure. Wish I could see you guys too, I would LOVE that.

g'day dave
i am disappointed but hey i agree with ya dave its their band rock on dude have fun at the party
luv col

Since the band needs a new name, how about:

Inconsistency.

That's what this whole season has been. Yes, it's entertaining and yes it's addicted, but YES it's been inconsistent and confusing.

Can't we just have the House Band looking for a leader next season? They are the best anywhere ever and deserve a real name and tour of their own!!!

Thanks for this place, Dave, it's been fun!

Congrats to the final 4 and congrats to Lukas and Supernova...perfect fit...already pre-ordered the CD. All were talented, but Lukas just had compelling stage presence, in my opinion...

Great ending to the show!

i love the mix. If I could take Grace Slick, Janas Joplin, and........Robert Plant.. it would be close to this.

OK so its Dave Navarro as a judge only... the rest are those tired old guys. Dilana is SO close to being a super star a small guy band wont let it happen. She takes the songs of Concrete Blond, and so many other super diva's she can not be in a band fronted by men.. she is a sole performer. I cant wait to hear her ORIGINIAL ... you know she will have one out so fast!! Love Dilana and Ryan ... make it we will BUY it.. =)

Dave, There are just too many posts to read, but i gotta say, you looked marvelous this evening!!!
I love your attitude about "the band" I feel the same way, there was so much positive bout what happened all season, but some folks seem to keep focusing on the negative, if in the broad spectrum, this even warrants good or bad, I mean after all its supposed to be entertaining, not make or break the future of the universe. or am i missing something, and the universe nmight not exist if Magni was chosen, hmmmmmmmmmmmmm, wonder what the outcomeof my existance would have been if god forbid dana was chosen!
I jest, i'm a little punchy today, but, i too am content with who ever they chose! I hope it works out for all those involved. (esp u!)
love to all, now lets get back to normal!

do we know if the whole cd has lyrics? the thing that set lucas off was he creativity on stage and his originals...it would be a shame to lose that on a disc full of songs that he didnt help right. thats the thing that jumped off about JD, he wrote the first single

I am so freaking happy right now! I cannot wipe the smile off of my face!! My sweet Lukas won! BOOOOYA! I am so happy for him, and was ecstatic to see how happy and honored he was to become a part of that band!! Now I need to go pre-order my CD and see if I can get some tickets for the show!!

I get the negativity, I'm not a fan of Lukas but this show expected 2.5 hours a week(two shows plus webisodes) PLUS live.spaces PLUS the little fashion videos etc... PLUS downloading music right away on music.msn.com not to mention replaying the weeks performances at work or at a friends house if they have the internet. There's a lot of time invested in this thing as a viewer, I get the emotional attachment, its cool man. Its cool.

I guess with INXS we knew their style; SN was a hard show to call the lead without knowing the direction they were going in. I really thought they'd pick Toby for the "chick factor"!! What is the next band that you are bringing to our living room???

Lukas was my #1 right from week 1. Dilana was my #2. Lukas won. Eveything is right in the world.

BTW, lots of people picked JD to win last year right from the first week. Same with Lukas this year. Some just know the "IT" factor when they see it.

I will NOT be checking out Supernova but I will check out Ryan, Storm, Magni and maybe even toby. And of course the Panic Channel!

Hi Dave. Like some others, I've never posted here before, but I wanted to say that the show was a welcome diversion from a really shitty day here in Montreal. There was a school shooting here that saw 20 college kids shot (down the street from another college I teach at). It was awful and I cried in front of the news for an hour. On the Supernova Live Space after tonight's show there was SO much negativity, anger, vitriol--it was so depressing: why do people have to be so f**king mean and spiteful over a tv show when there is so much destructive anger out there already? So I just wanted to say how impressed I am with your voice of tolerance and respect. I wish more of the show's fans who post hate messages on the Live Spaces sites would learn from your attitude. That's it. Peace.
Amy

Dave, I like you but Tommy Lee practically confessed to the public that Lukas was the chosen one when he said they liked his look and the way he moved on stage. I think they saw that with his first audition.

SweetMelis,

We all like to rant and rave but you are absolutely right - in the grand scheme of things, this is but a speck...:)

just read post about panic channel not being in top 40?? couldnt believe that so checked my latest rolling stone and saw crazy frog is on there but not panic channel? what has the world come to???????

Thanks Dave for another great season,It made my night to hear there will be a season 3 now I'll finally stop asking the same question.WOW 2 Canadians pretty good eh. All the final 6 had a great talent and I hope they do well in the future. For my taste in music Lukas was the only choice. I will keep checking in from time to time.

Check Please :)

When I heard TLee say the words, "Lukas, you're our boy. Welcome."
I cried.......
TEARS OF "PURE, FUCKIN, MEGA JOY" !!

Yeayyy Lukas! He has definately earned the right to be the last one standing. SN has made an awesome decision.
I can't wait to see the concert!

Dave, when you're in T.dot, you have to focus on row 13 for my 6767 sign :)

Joanna(T.O)

Right fucking on, Dave.

Rock on Lukas!! I was having heart palpitations during the finale, wanting him to win. For all the haters, watch the webisodes. Lukas is a fair, humble rocker. Dilana is all about Dilana. She tries to joke about it, but it gets a bit annoying. Supernova picked the winner. As for all the JC conspiracy business, PLEASE! She is so full of it. Like someone else posted here, just make a guess, get it right, and all the sudden conspiracies exist?!?! She's a nut.

Dissapointed in the Lukas choice, but oh well! My guess is he'll be flippin wings again in a year or so. Not my choice! Love Panic Channel, not too thrilled ya'll are going to tour with SuperNova, is it becaue of the money?? I love your smaller intimate shows.

Saw you in Dallas and still have not recovered! All I have to say about this season is that I think you should hook up with Zayara, I think the 2 of you together would be supreme latex hotness!!!!!!!!!!!

So, Dave, any word on what the band's name is gonna be now that the judge ruled against them in that lawsuit?

How about SuperEmo?

Nice post Amy. I love that Lukas won, but let us move on from the hate like what happened in Montreal Wednesday. More love, less hate...is that too much to ask?

I knew from the moment I saw Lukas performed he would win.They are lots of crybabies out there right now, but they can just suck on their sour grapes...Like tommy lee said they're are no losers on the show, its a crazy opportunity for unsigned musicans, and as long as they strike while the iron is still hot, I think we have yet to see the last of those rockers...Well some of them...

Thanks for the laughs this season, you provided lots of entertainment, and I think it's really dope that you take the time to interact with fans, you're one of the real ones...

Bring Panic Channel to the Maritimes (atlantic canada) We always get completely shafted when it comes to shows, and since we hardly get any larger acts coming through, when they do they usually sell out! The maritimes could use a little Dave Navarro...PEACE!!!!

Finally, people, get over it, if you don't like it, don't buy it, just don't tell me it sucks, if I like it great, if you hate it, that's ok too. Not all music is for all people, it isn't meant to be, music is what you want it to be. They (the band) obviously thought Lukas was the best choice. You may not have agreed, and thus do not like it. Personnaly, I like the Darkness, and a lot of poeple hate that band, does that make them any less good. No. All (and I mean all) bands are good in their own ways. So stop griping and groaning that who you wanted to win didn't win (and did you even want anyone to win at all, or are you just here to piss everyone off?). By the way Dave, love your Spread Radio Live Broadcasts.

I finally figured out what bugged me about this season. Last season the show had three days a week. There was one day that showed the contestants in the mansion with song selection and doing workshops. They briefly did that this season, but until after the playing field was narrowed. I thought that would have been a cool element to have this time as well.
Hmmm...Maybe they can do it that way next time.

"Sautéed in wrong sauce"!

O-K, Dave. Don't have a problem with Supernova's choice for their lead singer. What I do have a problem with is Tommy's claim that Lukas received the most votes. That was a boldface lie. Brooke announced at the beginning of the show that the three lowest vote getters were Magni, Toby, & Lukas. Seems like things might not be on the up & up with this show. Any comment because you strike me as being an honest man?

Could you please tour Canada in the summer,you will find it much more enjoyable.We would love to see you in Vancouver but 400 miles of icy roads may change our minds. No we don't have a dog sled but there are times in the winter I think it would be a good idea.
Thanks from Northern B.C. Canada

amy - they did do that this year...the reality shows were all online

GREAT COMMENT DAVE!!! Thanks for keeping real. Man...we think alike. Take care and I'll keep checking your sight out....you are too cool. OH and I am soooo happy for Lukas.

OH WHATTA GOOD BOY!
BOYAH!
im from NZ and should no who wins for another 5 hours? hahahha
YE YAH!

WOO HOO - Im happy with the winner and for me it was always between Lukas and Dilana as well but Toby really "got me" the last few weeks as well. I'll be purchasing albums from all three.

Thanks for creating the vessel for bringing these talented people to us.

Shauna

Dave, hope you will be back next year if there is another season. There is a lot of exceptional talent on the show, but you are the heart and soul. Hope to share another summer with you next year. And can't wait to see you in Everett, Wa this February. Rock on

Lukas rocks! I can't wait to see SN and TPC in TO.

Dave, I am going to miss seeing your fine self on my tv screen every week. We Canadian girls love you and I can't wait for Rockstar Season 3!

Peace

Congrats to Lukas, but Dilana got the best prize. Collaborating with you and Gilby on her own CD? Fan-tastic! She wont be hampered by SNs crappy songs and she will make more money this way. GOOD FOR HER!

Ill be at the Orlando show to see the Panic Channel and the House Band, then just before SN comes out to play Ill get up, leave, and go hit the bars at citywalk and enjoy the rest of the night!

If I wanted to listen to an incoherent singer fronting Tommy Lee's band, I'd listen to Motley Crue. :-)
Guess it's back to my Voivod, Flotsam, and Motley CDs for me....

Bring on "The Panic Channel~!" Bring that shit back to the people!~ We miss you guys!

\m/

Supernova were lucky to have so much talent to choose from. Unlike the last season there was no obvious choice right up until the end. Personally I don't think they could have gone wrong either way with the top three.

Kind of reminds me of that old 80's movie, Highlander .. 'there can only be one'.

firebrand, you've got to expect people to respond (positively or negatively) to a show that encourages viewer interaction.

Please, people, stop telling others not to complain about it!

The whole point of the show is to get people involved and stir up excitement. The concept is to make people talk. AND bitch. AND cheer. I guarantee that if Lukas hadn't won, his fans' posts would have a completely different tone.

Hi Dave,

Call me crazy, but up here in Canada we got royaly ripped off on the finale broadcast. Global Television advertised the finale at 8:00 pm... first half hour was a recap show and then all of a sudden Lukas was singing then Dilana etc. Somebody seriously screwed up at Global. We missed the first half hour of the final elimination show and the last half hour of the recap show. I suppose Lukas winning is a great thing for all Canadians but I'm feeling a little deprived. See you all in Toronto on January 24th... I'll be 6th row center!

Karma, what Brooke said was that at some point in the voting Magni, Tobi, and Lukas were in the bottom 2. Once voting was concluded Lukas ended up on top (of the grassy knoll). It's not rocket science.

Once again Dave, thanks for a great summer of entertainment. Look forward to seeing ya on the road, it should be a helluva tour.

\m/ \m/

Brian in Calgary(lovin' the haters)

Hey Dave-

Love ya. I bought the Panic Channel CD and just love it!

I find it amusing that so many people are convinced that there was a fix- do people not understand the format of the show? Also, Brooke did not say that Toby, Magni and Lukas were the bottom three- she said they had been in the bottom two at some point in the voting. Big difference. Apparently there are some slow people out there!

Anyway, keep making the music. Keep rockin! If you ever do a concert my way, I'm there!

I've loved the show all season, but can't be more disappointed about how it was handled at the end.

Imagine my surprise when only 15 minutes into the finale a commercial ran for Survivor with clips of Lukas mixed in - he wasn't announced as the winner for another 30 minutes and there was still 2 other contestants at the time! I watched this show faithfully all summer and can't believe CBS spoiled the finale like that.

As the Executive Producer, I hope you're outraged. But perhaps you're not, since you posted here about Lukas being the winner - BEFORE he was announced.

Way to reward loyal fans.

Thanks MJ, I've been known to rant once or twice myself!

Amy my heart goes out to you and all victims of the tragedy in your area. It's a shame something like that has to happen to bring some perspective. The bigger picture is always bigger than you ever actually think it is. That is the type of thing that I worry about when I see people get so over emotional about things like a reality show. It eludes to a very loose grip on reality and to how little can actually make people snap.

alex, this list of "expectations" are just options, do they want you to watch, sure. do you have to. hellz no. I am a fan of the show, but i'll tell ya, i missed alot of it. caught it when i could and I don't think the network is any worse for the wear. It's a choice you make as to how involved you are gonna get. so, do you get mad when you go to a restaurant and they have too many choices cause they "expect" you to eat all of it. no, you make a choice and be content with the outcome, whether that outcome is lukas rossi, or indigestion!!

The worst thing about tonights show......no more dave twice a week!!! more spreadradio!!!!
I'm free for soup dave, call me

Linda from San Diego, how psyhed are you!!?!?!?!?!?!

As for Tommy's comments about Lucas receiving the most votes. Maybe he meant TOTAL votes during the whole season (rather then just last nights voting)

why the big secret? dave, you said "a handful of them will be touring with all of us in the New Year". which ones?

First i've got to say....

"OOOOoooooooh Canada!!!"

who has the best rockers in the whole wide world???

Ummmm... yeah it's Canada!!!

Thanks Rockstar for proving it to the world!!

Though honestly i loved both Lukas and Dilana and would have been happy either way, as a Canuck i of course had the little part that wanted to show some national pride!! Two years in a row??? Hahaha!!
You guys should take a small hop over the water and visit us in BEAUTIFUL Victoria, BC while you're performing in Vancouver!! We have a pretty new arena!! hehe!!

Anyways thanks for keeping this blog going, i never thought i'd get hooked like i did but it was good fun!! I'll keep checkin' it out in the future!!

xoxo

Goddam Dave I love ya...great show! Congrats Lucas. Have a great vacation Dave. See you afterward.

D

All I can say is ... I am soooooo happy for Lukas and for Supernova, but not for me because now I AM going to have to buy their CD when it comes out! I fell for Lukas from Day 1, and even as my eyes welled up tonight with emotion, my mother had tears of joy streaming down hers. Good lord, I thought she was going to have a stroke, she was clapping so hard!

I fervently wish I could catch the tour, but sadly, where I live it isn't an option financially so I'll just dream. And hey, if you get the chance, Dave? Tell Lukas to find that girl who gave him the money to travel to the audition for Rockstar and PAY HER BACK! ~LOL~ He thought the auditions were for Rockstar: Van Halen and wasn't going to bother until she told him who the band REALLY was.

I'll continue to check out this blog and am now a fan of Spread Radio Live so ... I'll be back.

Lukas should have won. It was clear weeks ago and I felt the band really liked him. Tonight was a slam dunk wiht the exception of all the ass kissing of Dilana. She would have clearly been a problem. Is she talented? yes. Is she right for SN? No. She is a problem. Anyone who would throw her so called friends under the bus in such a collasal way doesn't deserve the notoriety that SN would bring her. She was good up until about the half way point and then her true colors started to show. Issues there. She will be successful but only on her own in a situation where she runs the show and everyone has to answer to her. Because there is a huge ego involved. When it was the final three up there, the confidence was all over her face. She clearly thought she would take the prize. Lukas is immensly talented and impressively is a stand up guy. That is important when you become a group, you have to have someone you count on. He is the man. This will be a hugely successful pairing. DAVE- I thought you said somewhere that you weren't sure if you could watch Lukas for a couple of hours..... well even so, I appreciate that you are supportive of their decision. Even though you slammed Dilana for her shit talk of all the other contestants you spent a lot fo air time back peddling to bring her back. I feel that it was her you wanted to take the prize. Regardles, it is what it is and Lukas fucking rocks. I have purchased my tickets and he is the reason (and TPC). I would not be a spectator if Dilana had won. Looking forward to next year. Dave- great look tonight, loved the layers.. have a great vacation.

Way to go Lukas!! Another Canadian, woohoo!

Phan Tim - Bono can't sing??? Back in the day (mid-80s until '93), he had a range that rivalled Mercury, Planet, etc....And range aside, the boy *can* sing...

You know something? I didn't like Lukas on the first show, but I warmed up to him, even though he can be hard to understand. He's got the right personality for Supernova, something I think Dilana lacked. I really liked the songs they played tonight & it's a CD I will buy, gladly (as I already have TPC's ONe).

Great show Dave! Love the CD!

Hey CHRISTINE i watched global on the west coast and everything was fine over here??

Congrats 2 the guys, you all looked very happy & that's cool. Like last year, my fave did not 'win,' and like last year I'm cool w/it. INXS is huge once again & that made me smile, 4 them. Oh, & Btw, true story, I got a job 2day at Bank of the West. Peace.

haha, oops, typo - supposed to read Plant, but because I wrote Mercury I guess I had Planet on the mind! lol!

RAWRRR! I'm stoked Lukas got the gig. I love that boy! Looking forward to supporting him on his musical journey, where ever it may take him. You done good Luke. You made a believer out of me!

man that wuz one fun entertaining summer show!...personally i don't care much for the supernova songs i've heard so far....but i loved dilana and lukas....and i think the band chose wisely....i wish them all the best with their tour...and have nothing but love for ALL the very talented singers who gave it their very best all summer long...and to all the overly opinionated haters out there...ITS JUST A FUCKING TV SHOW PEOPLE!!! quit bein such assholes and be thankful that the world has been exposed to all this fresh talent...without this show most of us wouldn't know any of the other contestants even existed...they are all stars in their own right...and out lives are that much better for them sharing their talent and music with us all...
thankx 2 dave and supernova for keeping me glued to my tv all summer long....

that being said i have only one slightly negative critique bout the show at all....fukn brooke burke's ongoing statement that "these final 3 are singing for their very lives" HAHAHAHA every bottom 3 she said that....crackx me the fuck up...
now that would be one helluva reality show if they executed the ones who didnt make the cut...
ITS MUSIC BROOKE NOT LIFE OR DEATH! hahahaha
ok people thats my 2 cents.....now for the love of god please return this blog back to normal!!!

OMG, right in the middle of watching the finale tonight (west coast) CBS totally showed a SURVIVOR commercial in the middle of the finale tonight that showed LUKAS as the winner!

THANKS FOR THE SPOILER, CBS, YOU FUCKS!

Anti-climatic show, Dave. Meh. I didn't like the way they handled Toby or Magni.

I hope The Panic Channel kicks ass on the tour, best to you guys. Love SRL. Love 6767.

Get Tommy on the phone! Grats to LUKAS!

So sure enough another homeless Canadian gets the gig just like last year. Whoopee! I did predict this from day one. It's so obvious Dave you're on there once again this year to "guide" people with your snarky comments toward weeding out the unwanted rockers all the way to the one that has been pre-chosen. C'mon people, it's ridiculous that even the gossip columnist Janet Charlton, and numerous others, made mention of Lukas being picked from day one and they had Dilana pegged as their backup, since she was Glib's first choice. Even the setup of Toby (aussie in 3rd place this year/aussie in 3rd place last year..go figure!) was so contrived. You guys are all so lame, esp Mark Burnett, but I guess he's getting the last laugh all the way to the bank since he's scammed everyone once again. Think of all the money made; ratings; downloads, ringtones...it goes on and on. Ah will we ever learn people? Actually, I have. I won't be scammed again by you "possers".

Hi CANDICE:

I'm in Ontario, I don't know what happened....apparently Global rebroadcast the finale in it's entirety an hour later. Must have been some kind of glitch... I'm just incredibly disappointed as I have not missed a moment over the last twelve weeks. Hopefully I'll be able to see the entire program on the internet.

Here's hoping!
C.

CREEPY IN DA HOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUSE!!!!!
life is good

Hey Dave -

Didn't really like the outcome, but it's not my band nor my show. I just want to say that My Tuesdays and Wednesdays will not be the same without You.

Have fun on tour. I hope TPC comes to Vegas on their own.

Hey Dave,

Thanks for a great season. I was wondering if you get news of what Toby and Magni will be doing next could you please post a bulletin or point me in the right direction to find the info.
Thanks again and good luck on your tour.

Love, Casey

I'm fifteen, but luckily my mom has great taste in music, so I have been a fan of yours for as long as I can remember. Keep Rocking.

PEACE

Well I guess the recipe for winning the Rockstar contest is being a homeless singer from Toronto.

The first night i saw the show I knew Lucas was the one. That is not just because he is a fellow Canuck. I was do to his presence. He reminded me of a Sober Sid Vicous.

Way to go Lucas.

Dave,

Love you, loved the show, love the outcome! I'm a 34 year-old mother of three and my (conservative preacher) hubby and I and our three kids can finally go back to our "normal" lives. We've had such great fun and were introduced to SRL in the process. We love music and our kids (4,5 and 10) have had a blast learning about different types of tunes. We loved everyone in the final 5 and yet are so satisfied tonight.

P.S. The hubby and I predicted the winner (and the final six) after the first show; check out his blog for proof!

With love,
Jane America

The jig is up. Were you aware that a commercial for Survior ran with Lukas as the winner before it was announced? How lame is that? Messed up is how!!!!!
+
+
Poor Superwhatever, no name & no singer.
+
+
Will miss seeing you on TV. Try to keep it real.

Hey, good job Dave. Thoroughly entertaining.
Next year better be a doozy!

doozy!

Before the show tonight I was reading the posts and am kinda ashamed to say I agreed with the Lukas bashers, but after doing some thinking AND after watching the finale I agree with SN's choice. I love Dilana and she is by far my favorite one of the group, but she may actually have too much charisma and personality for SN, more of a solo artist than a group memember. Lukas did blend well with them. Not sure I'm going to be a huge fan of SN, but I wish them nothing but luck and good fortune.

On the other hand, I'm loving the Panic Channel tracks I downloaded and may just buy tickets for the tour just to see Dilana with the House Band and TPC. If I don't happen to stay for SN, well, that's something else again.

Dave - thank you for this blog, by dropping in every day I feel that in some small way I know you a bit and am a better person for it.

P.S. -so yeah Damn, I guess my resume does kick a$$. And Dave, u looked radiant 2nite. Wow :)

i fuckin missed it. i dont know why i thought it was at 9 but whatever...i like lukas but i have to admit i was rooting for toby the whole time, they made a great choice though.
by the way im looking forward to seeing the panic channel tomorrow night on carson from the audience...until then.

Lukas. Hmmm. Not my choice. Dilana? My choice. Kind of wondering why, if Lukas is so "right," the grand finale Supernova track was a recorded version instead of actually performed live? Hmmm again.

I'll wait for Dilana's CD.

P.S. Dave - Love TPC. Great work!

Im excited for Lukas, hes got it!
Cant wait for the tour!

As the Executive Producer, I hope you're outraged. But perhaps you're not, since you posted here about Lukas being the winner - BEFORE he was announced.

Way to reward loyal fans.

Word, TrojanBecca.

Hey Dave,

I haven't seen the elimination show yet, but it's nice to know who won!

I enjoyed this season of Rockstar, which was awesome!! The show was a lot of fun!!!

Well, have a great night!

Nancy :-)

Dave,

I know you were busy with those chicks on the couch, but since you saw it live, tell me:

WERE THESE PRETAPED SONGS? Did SuperComa and Burnett pull an Ashley Simpson/Milli Vanilli on us?

The 'evidence':

1- The instruments' tracks were 'canned' for sure. Sounded like a record track to me, not a live captation. 'The Hey Hey Hey Song' had backgound vocals when no one sang.

2- Lukas never sang like that before. His voice sounded different, low, growly. He never used his 'trademark' voice. But he did sound the same on the 2 tracks, like they were part of the same performance (let's get in the studio and tape this quick). At no time did he ever pitch or vary his voice like he did for ten weeks.

3- There were very few close-ups of Lukas singing. When they did close-ups, it was for a very short veriod of time, and every time Lukas started to get more intense, they would switch to a stage shot or show another member/the crowd. Plus, there were a lot of shots of him with his back turned (fuck, doesn't he ever learn?). Considering that during most of his performances, the camera stayed on his distorted, intense face for what seemed like hours, the production crew was surely iding something.

Between this, and:
- Lukas being in the bottom 3 TONIGHT but getting the most votes TONIGHT (Note to TLee: 1 + 1 = 2)
- Magni and Toby getting less votes than Dilana and Lukas while M + T were on top of voting the weeks before

I CALL SHENANIGANS!!!

It's so obvious that show was rigged. Not because Janet Charlton said so: that 'photoshoot scoop' was just a wild guess. But how would you explain the fact that Lukas had taped his vocals before the final show?

I guess a cop-out would be to say that every finalist taped their vocals, and they would play the winner's taping at the finale. But let's be frank for a second: the SuperNova die was cast weeks ago.

Not that I'm complaining: it was a great summer filled with exciting performances. It's great to find your weekly rock fix on TV. But if you ask me, I think SuperComa made a BIG F*CKING mistake.
My pick would have been...
Matt. F*ck, did he kill 'Planet Earth' or what? Can you say 'Rock Star'? That was 'cool as Hell', 'sautéed in God Sauce', or 'gwehwah', like TLee once said.

Alas, the best ones are always the firts to go...

Final performance with Lukas and SN was such a huge let down. Careful what you wish for. I was a huge Lukas fan but this is the second time he let me down performing with SN. He would have done so much better on his own. His style is so different from theirs and from the footage I saw of the taping, the crowd didn't look into it at all. Bummer dude. SN's songs are a completely different style from what I expect from Lukas.

I feel like the whole show was a scam....even though I feel that Lukas was the chosen one long before tonight, I do think there was much better talent then Lukas. His vocals get washed out from the band and he is just not that strong of a singer, his stage presence is lacking. I'm sure everyone will say I should be saying something really nice and wishing them all well, but I was very disappointed in the out come and had to vent!

First of all, I love the picture of you and Storm in the post below this one. Awesome.

Other than that, just wanted to say thanks for a summer of rock music 2 nights a week on my TV! I loved the first season and was really looking forward to this season. From what Brooke said, it sounds like there will be another season, too? If you're involved, I'll be watching. :)

gw- maybe they haven't gotten confirmation as to who will be on tour...remember some of them are recording and doing shows now, so who knows who will be able to be there in JAN/FEB?

They have to figure out what they are doing with themselves now...

Peace

its been a great summer, dave. i am sad that toby didn't win, but i am more sad that its over. going to miss you.

much love, kylen*

*Sigh*.

I wanted Toby to win. I've LOVED Dilana. Never been a Lukas fan. But, man...Toby really grew on me and I thought he rocked the crowds.

Happy for Lukas and not bitter or weirded (is that even a word?) out by it. Will probably go see their show.

But I just got my tickets for Aerosmith and I'm sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo fucking ready to rock!

I didn't mention this on my original post but it definately needs to be addressed- what the hell was with the Survivor commercial with Lukas in it?? Jeeziz- what a give away. Even my MOTHER called and siad Lukas is going to win, did you see the commercial?? DAVE- I am clear on the fact that you have NOTHING to do with this most likely but please, for next year insist that there are people to handle the continuity. This was totally blown tonight. Personally I am THRILLED Lukas won but my point being it didn't come as a surprise.

I am so thrilled that Lukas won. He is amazing! I love you Dave and will be at the SN show in Seattle. Can't wait to see you live again(last time was with Chile Peppers!). I have been a fan of your blog for awhile now.
Peace,
Donna

LUKAS RAWKS.
TOTAL STAR.
GOOD FOR SUPERNOVA.

thought he was the one from the first show.
just had the look and attitude to make the 'old' dawgs look good and sell the band to a new generation. congrats on reinventing and repackaging rockers from the Eighties to the kids (young and old) of today.
\~~/

THE SuperNova Rock Star TOUR

***** I guess I look at artists that bring my life joy and entertainment, whether I know them or not, as friends to an extent.*****

This is why you are my friend Dave, even though we've never met.

I think Supernova made a great choice. Lukas is a phenomenal artist. I wish them the greatest happiness and success as a band and I can't wait to see you ALL on tour.

This is bullshit man. Dilana should have won this, Lukas is a fucking poser. Dilana is the true rockstar that Supernova needed, and a breath of fresh air. Lukas is totally un-original, I'm sick of his style and voice. Too bad, any other of the top 5 and I would have been a Supernova fan. As it is now, I won't be buying their record or supporting them at all. The last 10 minutes of the finale is about as much consecutive Lukas as I can stand. I'll be busy listening to Dilana and Storm and Toby's careers take off while StupidNova flops because a few hundred sixteen year old girls stayed up all night voting for DorkAss. Just look at the numbers on myspace alone, folks. Storm=16,000+, Dilana=14,000+, Lukas=4,000+...? Weak. Even the crowd on the finale was chanting "Dilana" loud as fuck. I didn't hear Lukas' name at all... I thought Supernova was destined for better. But let's think about it -- Tommy Lee, no real surprise I guess. Let's face it, the guy tried to rap for Christ's sake. He's all about cheesy fads, and in that case, Lukas is definately "his boy". Gilby? Ummm... who the fuck are you? I had no idea until this show, that's for sure. See, when I think of Guns N Roses, I think of Slash. Was Gilby like their guest guitar player for a while when Slash was too hung over to play? Well at least we know him now -- a very opinionated, mediocre guitar player. And Jason... I'm most surprised and sad for you man. I thought you'd left Metallica because they sold out and you wanted something better. All I can say is, get out now while you can.... Go join Dilana's band or something...

2 things.1 Anyone with any common sense knew Lukas had this gig in the bag if you didn't then you don't understand rock you probably don't know who most of the artists are that the singers covered on the show.

See how Dave can talk about Zeppelin like that well we all get what he is saying on that one.Did Keith Moon name Zeppelin or was it Entwistle?Good question but if you know rock music you know the answer.(The answer is most say Keith but John says it was him so I believe John still an important rock fact)If John had called them the Mystical Fairies they probably wouldn't have been as popular just saying.

2.For all you idiots that are bitchin' about Rossi's vocals go download his shit.Try Trust Me or Drive or Car Crash the dude recorded has sweet vocals.Nobody goes to a show to hear crystal clear vocals that's why they have albums or singles these days.The Stones are painful to watch live but they sure as hell could but out some killer albums.This show ain't fucking American Idol it's not about being a pop singer it's about those other things that make a performer riveting.To be honest is Rossi sounded like he does on the show he would still be fine.But he doesn't he sounds fucking great.What you are hearing is that his voice isn't the strongest like Jason says it doesn't cut through the music as well as some.But his voice if far and away the most intersting of all the rockers recorded.

Dave,

In all fairness to everyone (including myself) who may bitch about the outcome, when Robert Plant did Tall Cool One, he didn't do a 10 week TV show around it. He didn't create an illusion of a contest, push the fans emotional buttons and turn his creative choices into a circus. And yet, I bet you still voiced your opinion of that choice he made to someone in your world when you heard it, didnt you? You just did in your Blog just now, In fact.

You speak of it like SN is just a normal band who chose a new singer and not the side show that it really is. You set the stage up in a way that the viewers have a vested interest in the outcome. I think its fair, understandable and acceptable for people to have strong opinions about that outcome.

If your going strip the integrity away from Rock and Roll and turn creativity into an online TV circus then don't pretend to be shocked or outraged when the lions decide to eat the ring masters.

And get a new SRL girl of the month up there.

Hi Dave
While I have enjoyed the whole "Supernova Experience" I am kinda glad that it is all over. The boys made the choice that was right for them, and obviously for the legion of Lukas fans.
Good on them. It has been great fun to watch.
Hope that TPC head down to Melbourne (Australia) some time soon - if it is the money, you can always stay at my place! My house is your house!
I love your comments, your attitude, your music and your tatts; but I was really moved by your sincerity when you spoke of the lady that you sat next to on the plane who had survived the horrors on a concentration camp. I would like to believe that there are a lot more people like you in the world.
tlcx

Last night I out and drank a bunch of beer and ate chicken wings. Then this morning I woke up and drank two big cups of coffee, jumped out for a surf then came home and took the biggest, nastiest shit. And let me tell you, it was a real steamer - all yellow and stanky, the kind that you need a quarter roll to of toilet paper get to get the funk out of your crack.

But as nasty as that turd was, it wasn't half as crappy as the dreck Dave Navarro churns out.

But after tuning in to that Rock Star show tonight, I have to admit, even that isn't nearly as god awful, intestines-wringing shitty as the three (now four) idiots.

Its as if GG Allin were to jump up out of the grave, take a shit on stage, then the shit somehow animated themselves enough to play drums, pluck bass and twang guitar.

Yeah, that sounds about right...

Lukas........meh. Toby and Dilana were the only ones that made me legitimately smile and get really excited. If Lukes would learn to open his friggin mouth a little more often when he sings and gets rid of the lame Mick Jagger stage moves---I might be persuaded. The only contestant that truly ruled the stage while playing with the band was Dilana though---she was so engaging everything kind of melted around her and she commanded your attention.

I would love to hear records from all the finalists, including Storm---some great talent in those folks if they had the right kind of band and support.

Either way, killer show Dave. A buddy of mine called me about three weeks into it and said "Man, you gotta check this out...these people ROCK." I truly enjoyed every week, and it was great to see a show that showcased ROCK AND ROLL. Cheers!

I love you Dave!
I love EVERYBODY tonight!!
LUKAS.............BOOOYAAAAAAA!

We live in a beautiful world...yeah we do!

Dave ...

Would you put a word in to Lukas about me being his Mary Kay rep? ... and was Dilana wearing underwear in Tuesday night's show?

**smooch**

Read the post about Lukas' vocals being pretaped and had to laugh. His vocals were so bad during his finale performances with SN, that there is no way that they were pretaped. I couldn't understand most of the lyrics. Check please.

WORD!

Dave,
have fun on vacation...I'm sure you can't wait.

Holy f*ck, they only come out at night...

So Nipples, that dump you took, exactly how long did you examine it? Because you seem to be real good at describing shit. Did you get a diploma at the Fecal Matter Institute? You sure sound like a specialist on the subject... or were you only looking at your bathroom mirror?

Talk about a piece of shit needing to be flushed...

Hi Dave
Thanks so much for an awesome season of rockstar! I watched it last year but found it so much more exciting this year. Loved it & definitely going to go through rockstar withdrawal and really sad that I wont be seeing your face on my TV set every week :)
Also happy that Lukas won! Good luck with your new cd, the tour & hope you get some rest on your upcoming vacation. Take care :)
Laura
p.s. to Christine above...Global tv in Ontario did screw up but they redid the whole show again at 10pm EST correctly

Dave,
Thanks again for taking part of this kick-ass show and help making it a blast and interesting to watch.
GO LUKAS!!!!

Stay sexy,
-Spi-

Ok - you know what! I didn't even read all the shit on here - I heard about it on another fuckin' board. So guess what dumbasses, my turn to speak...

1. DO YOU PEOPLE HAVE ANY FUCKING TASTE AT ALL! I am soooooooooooooo sick of people being hung up on this lame ass, corporate driven, robot perfect pitch blah blah fucking blah shit. Ok - Lukas pitch wanders around but WHO THE FUCK CARES!! If you had any true connection or understanding of the beauty, truth, and expression of MUSIC you would understand this. But I guess, some people would prefer to hear Magni sing word for word, note for note, or see frat boy Toby sing an NSYNC cover with his shirt off, than hear some REAL TRUE FUCKING TALENT!! HELLLL-FUCKIN-OOOOOOOOO!!!

2. IT BLOWS ME AWAY at how people have these fucking blinders on. Ok - you know what - I refer to Lukas as the "Deranged Muppet" - even said so on his site. But I still wanna fuck his brains out LOL!!! So what, cause he has some style and some piercings, and some attitude, and some personality and can throw his body around all over the place, that means he sucks! Or he is a POSER!! OH MY FUCK!! Fucking ignorami...ugh...

OK LET'S USE OUR BRAINS HERE. THE FINAL FOUR WERE:

1. Magni. Real sweet, nice guy, GREAT pitch, powerful voice. Can't find anything bad to say about him. Actually can't find much to say about him at all. Not memorable. Great, but not memorable. And..ummm..you think he can LEAD a band with T Lee on the drums!! HELLLLL-FUCKIN-OOOOOOOOO
2. Toby. Decent voice, but not great. Probably conceited. Relies on his looks to get him where he needs to go. Probably a cool guy to hang with but...ummmm some day, the love handles will set in and ummm...you can't rely on oh-oh songs and shakin your ass for the rest of your life. At least not in a band with TOMMY FUCKIN LEE!! HELLLLL-FUCKIN---OOOOOO!!!
3. Dilana. Great voice, realllly great. Chills up and down my spine. Ok, I am gonna be a bitch here. I want to like her, I want to think she is sweet - yet instead of visions of sugarplums dancing in my head, it's visions of Supernova visiting thier ex lead singer in the loony bin, and telling her that the straight jacket DOES match her hair! Something just ain't right with that one...Sooo say it with me kids - HELLL-FUCKIN---OOOOOOO!!
4. Lukas. Original, massive range (I will admit he needs to work on technique), personality, stage presence, electric on stage, nice eye candy, dirty yet cute, can take ANY song and make it kick ass...a TRUE artist...not a POSER! Not many people can rearrange shit to suit thier voice and style like he does and still survive the music biz. I mean shit - he has EVERYTHING! He has the important shit! He can work on technique, if the muppet thing gets out of hand, he can work on that. But he has all the other shit NATURALLY. Its not an act like it is with others. If you are born with the important stuff, you can work on the learned things. If, however, you are born with a pretty voice and that is all...then you are not gonna get anywhere.

I AM TOTALLY LOST ON WHY PEOPLE ARE BITCHING ABOUT THIS. C'mon y'all....remove head from sphincter...

lkasjdfklasjdfljkasdfklj ugh...

SUPERNOVA WILL KICK ASS. IF THEY HAD CHOSEN MAGNI, IT WOULD BE BORING. IF THEY CHOSE TOBY, IT WOULD BE WEAK. IF THEY CHOSE DILANA, IT WOULD BE UNSTABLE. THEY CHOSE LUKAS. THEY WILL ROCK!

NICE CHOICE GUYS. I AM TOTALLY IN SUPPORT OF IT, AS ARE MANY MANY MANY OTHERS.

xoxoxoxoxox always,
Wicked Witch of Texas

Well, Dilana def got the better deal. BTW, she has a CD that is currently avail on Amazon under Dilana Smith, I already ordered it. SHe is ranked #160 in sales already and that is huge! THere are literally millions of artists on AMazon and #160 is a big number. She outranks anything listed there under Tommy Lee. Can't wait for her new release!

Dave-
I agree that any of the final four would have been a valid choice. After two seasons of RS, I have to say that the happiest discovery was what a well rounded, insightful, and obviously clear thinking business man you are! To be so young and so wise in such a tricky business is a remarkable thing. Thank you for being so willing to be a great example and mentor to those coming up behind you. The business needs more like you! I look forward to watching you next season and, thank goodness, have now found this site to continue with my Daily Dose of Dave! The best of luck with TPC! I can't wait to load up on the music!

Sincerely,

A grandma in California!

FYI Canadian people:

I think Global screwed up NATIONAL. I had the same problem in Montréal, but didn't catch a replay. Guess I'll have to rely on WWW...

Tonite, somewhere in their drunken stupor, Axl Rose, James Hetfield and Vince Neil are laughing their asses off.

But you and TPC are great, Dave. Love your songs.

I just don't get it.
An amusing thing about last season with INXS --and this was uncany-- was that each and every single time they voted someone off, I called it and agreed wholly with the choice. I even oddly called their double elimination.
From the very start of this season, I didn't have a clue. The first episode they showed this little wormy guy badmouthing the others (Lucas) and only one guy stood up to him, asking only that he answer the questions put forth. Lucas wimped out and wimpered away, and then they voted out the guy who stood tall. How UNrocknroll!

I'm really dumbfounded about Lucas. I don't dislike him really, and a couple of times I actually thought what he was doing was okay. But his spastic jerky motions and drunken stage demeanor coupled with his "singing" voice really had me having a hard time to imagine watching the guy for any length of time.
Dave, you must have seen something I didn't live in person! In all performances I only saw two vocal ranges from him, which was a screechy growl, and the other, which was slightly less unpleasant. Nothing which would qualify as melodic. But I reckon that's Rock n Roll. ..??? Or SN' new version maybe. .?

I wish the band well. I hope they turn out to be happy with their choice and all. I would have bought their CD had any of the others in the final four won, but I can't put up with that voice for long.

The funny thing was, when Supernova performed live with the finalists for the past weeks, they by far -IMHO- not only had the worst performance with Lucas fronting them, but the SN guys just didn't seem like they were having as much fun with him up there. More than anything else, I think that's ashame.

Dave,I'm gonna miss your fine ass on my tv twice a week.When the season began you were the only reason I tuned in ~:} since im not really a Tommy Lee fan,BUT, as the season went on the talent was revealed,the drama was insane ,Tommys personality grew on me,the internet reality show was addicting , you were hotter than ever, loved the
"Evil Dave" commentary, who could forget the crazy performances of Zaira,and the amazing growth of The Dark Horse, you became a single man again giving all of us chicks even more to fantasize over,mmmm, what a perfect season and summer! Stillgonna miss your sexy ass the most!

"With hard work comes beautiful things," and Lukas deserves every beautiful thing that's going to happen for him now.

I will be buying the CD, and I will be at the Orlando show.

Lukas = Dime-a-dozen Emo Punk

SN should have clarified that they wanted to be an EMO band from the start instead of blathering on about "true rock". I thought SN said they wanted to play OZZFEST, not 3rd stage on the Warped Tour. The contestants all worked so hard to show SN real rock, not realizing all along they were being used and didn't stand a chance. A fair contest would have been 15 EMO punks battling it out. At least then they would have stood a chance. Ok, will the TRUE rockers please come forward??

Thanks for a great show, and congrats to Lucas and the guys.
Wish I would have heard an apology from TLee for that comment last night, it was still uncalled for. But alas that's his call, he's free to do whatever.

Toby's Supernova performance was ten times better than Lukas'. Nothing but a bunch of garbled words coming out of Lukas. Great tune, wrong front man. I'll pass on the cd but maybe catch him in the next Willy Wonka movie.

Why are some of you classifying Lukas as EMO? I never even thought of that. I guess I just know the boy can ROCK.

Genres mean nothing as long as you have it in your soul!

Dave, thanx for all U are and all you have done for us! I am so happy my sis and my cousin are going to see you!

Thanx for letting postive and negative approaches on the blog.

Linda was HAPPY sweetmelis:) I think we both cried thinking how much we support Lukas and are happy for him!~

Well; i'm a celeb blogger myself also, but unlike that crazyass JC chica, I cannot show my face..I used to work as a Dominatrix and since I'm back in the REAL world, it's best to keep my identity secret. However, I've been an avid Rockstar Fan since Season 1, and really have enjoyed both Shows. I do think that overall, Dilana had the best pipes (Lukas needs voice lessons), but her braggarty (sp.?) ruined it for her. Plus, her stage presence wasn't as commanding as Lukas's was (she expected her voice to carry her thru). It was nice to see you on t.v., and I'm proud to say for all those here that might think you have attitude; that you're just as kind in person, too. (I bumped into you in Brentwood once). In closing, I agree with blndfayth above...Lukas needs to enunciate more; blech!...(check at this table please also!!) Will I buy tixxx to the show? Perchance if the cd rocks....

My husband and I feel cheeted! We hated Lukas' style, sound, look, attitude, everything! He was completely wrong for the band. But the band let the "fans decide", just because we (who work and can afford to buy tickets)could not stay up all night and vote a thousand times for Toby, unlike all the kids who don't have jobs could stay up and vote for that punk. I thought this show was not like American Idol, but I was wrong. We won't be watching any more of your shows and there's no way in hell we'll buy tickets for SN's show.

Oh Dave, forgot the best part of the whole thing, finding 6767 and Spread Radio Live on the internet, love that shit,have a SRL hoodie love it, addicted to that show also and LOVE The Panic Channel and the Rock you guys bring.
Keep Rocking Dave,
Peace out Bitch

Sure, LennyK. Step it up, baby...you are bitching about no "true rockers" auditioning...think maybe you could pull off twinkle twinkle little star for us? I mean, I am suuuure you would be sooooooo much better than Lukas, right..cause he is soooo awful.

STFU...ugh

Dave, sugar. I am usually not this mean, just frustrated that a talented, nice person is getting bashed like this. Pisses me off royally. I love Lukas, and will back him with whatever band he is in. Take care, love.

xoxox
Me

aaaaaaawwwwwwwwweeeeeeesssssssssoooooommmmmmmeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!
i didn't not like anyone, but lukas was my man right from day one so i'm happy!

purlease come down under please please please please please please please please

i'm a pole dancer...could organise some dancers? : )

HAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.....people are soo funny, getting all worked up about a fuckin tv show. If you don't like SN's music...don't buy the album...if you don't like Lukas as their lead singer...don't go see them in concert. Go out and buy a cd from a band that you DO like...or hey, get a ticket to a show you DO want to see.

Dave - Thanks for a great season of Rockstar. It was a blast watching you twice a week. I was busting up laughing on Tuesdays show when you said, "Grab your torch and head back to camp!" You're so classic! Love you, and can't wait till things get back to normal around here! Im looking forward to actually reading and interacting w/ the family members posts again. It's been a while...

Love, Amber

After all that was said and done, it was a really great season with great music, a lot of great talents and very entertaining reality bits. I'm looking forward to the next season. Great work Dave! Regards to Brookie and the rest of the Supernova peeps!

Toby Rand is the ONLY one of the true rockers that could do anything with the lame SN tunes. From week one, his vocals just blew me away. Then when he rocked the stage and the crowd the way he does, I could feel the earth move. That young man has more talent in his little pinky than Lukas could ever have in 10 lifetimes. I can't wait to see Toby fronting his band Juke Kartel and doing a world tour. Most of all, I can hardly wait to buy his amazing music on CD. He is a truly gifted singer/songwriter. Love ya 4ever TOBY!! You truly rock.

Okay-my 4th post tonight, promise I will stop, trying to make up for LOST time ? LOL last night and tonight at your Survivor references since that is one of my fave shows!

I HOPE THIS WORKS OUT FOR LUKAS. IT CONCERNS ME THAT SN MADE IT ABOUT NUMBER OF VOTES AS OPPOSED TO THEIR MUSICAL VISION.

DID ANYONE ELSE NOTICE THAT? I WANT TO BE ABLE TO RESPECT THAT THE DECISION WAS ABOUT INTEGRITY AS ARTISTS AND NOT ABOUT WHO WOULD SELL THE MOST TIX FOR THEM.

I HEARD A RUMOR THAT LUKAS AND MAGNI ARE ALSO JOINING THE TOUR TO OPEN WITH THE HOUSE BAND, IS THIS TRUE? FOR TOBY'S SAKE I HOPE NOT.

THAT CONCEPT IS TOO AMERICAN IDOL FOR ME.

Oh sheesh, this came out in all caps and I don't want to re-type. My carpel tunnel is coming back.

BTW Dave, thanks for the invitation to come back and check in. I most definitely will.

Dave, thanks for letting us vent here. It is amazing how wrapped up I got over a Fucking GAME SHOW !!!!!!!! The fucked up thing is , I DONT like Metallica, Crue , or GNR,,,But I LOVED this show,,,,,,,I cant believe I got so wrapped up in it.
I got to hear some GREAT unsigned talent in front of a house band who were pretty damn talented. To be able to play Wish you were here in 2-1/2 minutes is impressive. That song always brings a tear to my eyes too. Hell If I know why, it just does . I especially enjoyed Dilana's singing, I am on old fart of 48, and her voice reminds me of the days of Tina Turner BEFORE she dumped Ike. That woman has a Raw Soulful quality which you NEVER hear anymore. She is a great talent and I hope she maximizes this opportunity, and I get to hear from her agian, So once again Dave,,,,,Thanks for a good summer ,,,,It was fun.

Thanks for allowing us to rage here. I came in on the SN tidal wave, but I kinda like it, so I might just stick around for awhile yet.

Im over all the crap now - the one I liked, didn't win - no surprise there. The ones I always like never win. Skunk boy dosent cut it for me - never has, never will. In fact he is the only one apart from Zayra that has failed to impress me at all.

Oh well...........

Dave your comment about Robert Plant - if one of my favourite artists does something I don't like thats no biggie, it just means I don't like it. But I think the point that people are making here is this: you have to like the artist in the first place.

Alot of the folk on here (myself included) do not like the choice and by default are more than likely not going to like anything the band puts out. I couldn't stand JD last year and consequently could not stand listening to the music - in fact I turned the radio off every time I heard it. It had nothing to do with how he looked, but everything to do with how he sounded.

I don't give a flying fuck what the artist looks like, but I do care a great deal about how they sound. Thats what I hand over my hard earned $$$ for.

Argh! fargin' typo... TOBY & MAGNI opening w/HB in my above post.

double sheesh

I saw the east coast feed and it was definitely messed up as described (Brooke in 2 different outfits, and Magni magically dissappearing) I missed the spoiler Survivor ad though. West coast feed didn't show the season recaps but all performances and eliminations were shown.

KML - Keith Moon was discussing forming a band with Jimmy Page when the name Lead Zeppelin was brought up. He got it from John Entwistle. They dropped the 'a' to prevent people from pronouncing it 'leed'. That's the way I remember hearing it anyway.

Glad it's over but it was a fun ride while it lasted.

Laura,

Too little too late... I was in my jeep driving home when Gobal rebroadcast the finale... Licking my wounds...

Perhaps we should be more focused on the incredible tradgedy that took place in Montreal today at the hands of some cukoo anyway.

Hey Dave,

How you doing? I agree that people get too upset with the choices of their favorite entertainers. You don't have to love everything they do or rag on the things you don't. However, Robert Plant doesn't take an on-line poll everytime he wants to write new music. I think people have a right to be angry with the choice that Supernova made. What if you stayed up all last night voting for Magni because you found him so inspiring and you couldn't stand Lukas' mumbling growl of a voice. You wasted hours of your time to see someone who you can't stand listening to front a band of musicians you do like. By the way, do you know how annoying it is to type in security codes for an hour? What I am saying is, the point of the show was to ask people to have an opinion about who should front Supernova. They even supposedly have a hand in the band's choice via voting. Of course people are going to be upset when their favorite goes home. Supernova (name pending on law suit and noticed how it isn't mentioned in your post) could've formed and privately looked for a lead singer but instead they opened themselves up for the world to view. Supernova got the benefit of exposure but when you ask everyone to have an opinion, they will. This show is about music so it is easy to get emotionally invested in your favorite. That same investment is why people stay up all night to vote to make sure they don't go home. Every action has an equal and opposite reaction, the love they feel for their favorite will translate into their anger when he/she doesn't win. Their choice wasn't personal and private, it actually couldn't have been more public and even involved us common folk. When you open yourself up like that expect the public to react, it is what you are asking for. Just something to think about....

Do you actually read all these comments? If so, where do you find the time?

Hi Dave,
I became a fun of Dilana.
To be honest,Rock music is not my number one favorite. But, I started enjoying the show because of Dilana.
Last night, I got shiver when I heard her singing Roxanne. I even went to website and I repeatedly heard Roxanne over and over. She is Awsome!!
I was hoping that Dilana won.....
I just wanted to drop a note for her that I really loved her singing.
Oh well, Lukas was my second favorite singer of the show. So, I am happy for the final anyway.

So I heard the Panic Channel on Indie 103.1 at 9 tonight, i got so excited! And I also just saw the video and luv the music they played while you get into the car, peoples minds make me laugh, and while im sad rockstar is over i know you'll be keeping busy with other things so we wont have to miss you! Thanks for a killer summer dave!

Courtney

I heard on the radio today that SN will have to change their name as some obscure punk band already has dibs on the name " Super Nova"...

Any suggestions on an altenative name??

Angie, well Said ! I would like to put to you this food for thought though. If SN were seriously looking for a long term commtment for a long term sucessful band, they wouldnt have done it on a national talent contest game show/ Reality show hybrid. This was Easy money for them all. It probably has a shelf life of about 3 to 4 months. They will take the cash , split up , go their seperate ways, and you can enjoy their music for years to come,,,With that being said,,,,Quite a few talented artists have gained some SERIOUS exposure which can do nothing but good for their careers. So what the hell, My girl didnt win either , but hey, it was an entertaining summer, several careers have just gotten a BIG ASS BOOST, SN made some easy cash,,,,,,Life is good !!!

"do we know if the whole cd has lyrics? the thing that set lucas off was he creativity on stage and his originals...it would be a shame to lose that on a disc full of songs that he didnt help right. thats the thing that jumped off about JD, he wrote the first single"

I'm hoping the song where Lukas wrote the "follow me like shadows" will be on the cd, I loved that one!

Hey Dave, When do you think the penny will drop for Superwhoever that there going to be huge in CANADA and thats it, HAHAHA. Come on Dave be honest, you know their music SUCKS BIG TIME and with Lukas singing it's even worse, but maybe thats the whole idea as then nobody will be able to understand the lame lyrics!!!! They should have picked Dilana, an 80s cover queen matches better with an 80s ageing rockband. SNAP.

The whole thing that gets me is the fakey and obvious setup. They set Toby up like he was going to win, but he was just getting a consolation prize. Toby did everything and more for SN and you Dave, were so obvious in your prejudices and preferences. It's a joke to pretend you didn't have a vested interest in this all along, and that you didn't try and influence SN the way you certainly did the voters. I agree with other posters that have said this whole thing was a sham. Two years in a row have proven that. And as for all you Canadian Lukas fanatics who now are so suddenly riteous, accusing people of being bashers 'cuz they happen to think your boy sux, that is the biggest joke of all! Everyone on every board on the internet, knows that the Lukas fans are the biggest bashers of them all. Now, don't go trying to act all halo on the rest of us. Toby fans have never been the bashers. We just wanted our boy to win, because he truly has the talent and the vocals and the stage presence. Whenever Lukas came on, I pressed the "snooze" button. I will continue to do that. Toby rocks and Magni too, for that matter. Hell, at least they have voices! Dilana, hardly worthy of mention; but she was so coached for last night's performance. What a setup. Disppointed YES we ARE! What is this world coming to.

Hello from BRITISH COLUMBIA, CANADA! I love you Dave! You are so sexy!!

I am extremly dissapointed that Toby didn't win. I thought out of all of them he showed a lot of talent and growth. But congratualtions to Lukas and his fans! Personally, I won't be checking out the Supernova (or whatever the new name will be)CD or buying tickets for the tour but hey, thats just me. I will be checking out Juke Kartel and Storm and the Balls!
Dave, thank you so much for the blogs. They have been inciteful and intelligent and I am a big fan as ever.
BTW Perhaps some of the angrier comments should be directed to Tommy Lee's website as he and his bandmates made the choice, not Dave.
*shrugs*
Just a suggestion.

WOOT! Go Lukas! I picked him from Day One and I'm so happy he took the prize. I just don't know who these people are who dig Dilana.

Anyways what bugged me about it was that Lukas's big moment was totally stolen by all of the consoling of Dilana. Like I'm sorry but last year when they announced that "JD, you are roit for our band INXS!" it was all cameras on JD freaking out, and Marty basically got whisked away somewhere offstage, and that's how it SHOULD be!

But no, Lukas wasn't allowed to have his glory moment, even after all the shit he put up with with Dilana all season, and after how much he DESERVES this, because again SN took the opportunity to tongue bath Dilana with praise, making all kinds of "Let's Record An Album With You!" promises, telling her how much she rocks, and the NEW WINNER LUKAS is basically just standing there for 60 seconds!? That was ridiculous.

I think if the whole prize of this project is to be in SuperInjunction, then it cheapens it by everybody throwing in their commitment to perform on the albums of all of the tossed out rockers. Dilana, go figure out your new album on your own. Lukas won the prize. Bye Bye.

Plus I thought it was funny how Dilana looked like she was just about to spit tacks when she didn't win. You guys all had her thinking she had it in the bag! hahahahaha Couldn't happen to a more smug narcissistic chick.

I sure would love to see footage of that rap party!

For all the people pissing and moaning over a TV show. I don't remember this much outrage when Dubya stole his first election. To borrow a line from Steely Dan, the things you think are precious I can't understand.

My thoughts and prayers are with those in Montreal, and all people in harm's way everywhere.

\m/ \m/

Brian

not to fuel the fire, but for all those pointing out all the mistakes made with what CBS showed when. Just keep in mind that the wednesday shows are taped ON WEDNESDAY, so there is only so much time to do the editing and whatever else it takes to get it to air by whatever the earliest time it airs in whatever time zone that might be. so, it being the final episode and an extra half hour than the normal wednesday show (right, I think the usual wed shows were a half hour)?! there were bound to be some mishaps.

Ambersonian - I'm with ya sugar!! I could use some family time!

Dave, House Band, Performers & SN!!
Thanks so much for this set of awesome concerts! What a treat to get such fantastic performances week after week! I am shaking my head at all the negatory stuff, guess i'm not used to boards n stuff..I'm a 70s guy..but the tunes I am friggin stoked about! I encouraged our 7 year old to stay up each week to see something much more reality based than the Idol shows and what genuine talent is like. He has started imitating various artists, stage- prancing/air band, singing loudly when he's got MY mp3 with Rockstar performances loaded in, driving us to lafter and smiles in the house, yard, stores etc, and has started picking up a guitar. Dave, he is amazed that IT wouldn't play all by itself, cried, then persevered and is strumming a little more each day, getting a feel for music...what a cool thing for my son to embrace; music, the one common language in the world.
We did rush out to get tickets when you guys announced the inclusion of yourself and House Band to the tour, and nearly puked with anxiety to see if OUR fav would win or tour with the boys. yeah, we're canadian, but we honestly raved about Lucas and Toby. Ok,. dad dug Storm quite a bit too...So we're thrilled to be going to see a show we are seriously going to be suffering withdraw from.
Thanks so much for what are now 2 stunning seasons of incredible shows of talent, and helping to inspire my son and probably many others to move forward with peace and fun.
See you in Everett (Vancouver sold out..!)

I picked Lucas out the first show. I'm so happy he won! It's going to be a kick ass tour!!!

I will not buy Supernova or whatever the name will be music with Dork boy fronting them...Have they lost their collect mind??? He Sucks...I really enjoyed Dilana nad STorm. Magni will enjoy a long career if he so chooses. But I'd rather buy some Garth Brooks shit over this waste of radio playtime.
Dave, you made my summer with your comments and site. Thanks for the ride, see you next year. But I will not spend my money too see TPC until they are away from the Supercrash and burn tour.

Dave, first time posting here, but I've been rocking out to you since Jane's Addiction, and I enjoyed you on Celebrity Poker Showdown. (Not sure how many times you hear that one.)

Anyway, I've been keeping up with this blog, and I have to give props to Messrs. Art Carcass and Bloumeister for keeping these comments threads lively and entertaining.

Although it's over, I've got to add to that nickname Gilby contest...the best one I ran across is "Glibly". That seems to sum him up, especially with the way he looked when Magni hit the stage during Toby's song.

Also, am I the only one who sings along with the chorus to "Be Yourself" as:

Heigh heigh heigh
ho ho ho

It's off to work
I go...

Hey Hey Hey
Ho Ho Ho
We can't write a thing,
Ya know?

Hey Hey Hey
Ho Ho Ho
SuperNova's gonna blow.

More verses? Anyone? Anyone? Bueller....

EveL >:-)

Well, after lurking for two seasons, I have to get my 2 cents worth out there. Truly couldn't stand JT the first season, and the only two I really couldn't stand this season were Delana and Lukas, especially Lucas. I picked Toby and Magni the first week, and felt with their individual and collective talents, SN was intimidated by their talents, stage presence, sheer size, good looks, etc etc. Just male insecurities showing up. Delana looks like a forth-year old ex-druggie, and Lukas can't even speak intelligibly.
Good luck to SN. The only thing going for them is Panic Channel and that truly incredible House Band. Crap are they good. So...Granny, who grew up with Dylan, Cat Stevens, the Brooklyn Bridge, and The Guess Who, Steve Forbert, etc (like any of you youngsters have ever heard of any of these folks except Dylan......There you go. I, in fact, turned off the TV after Toby was 'released', so I don't even know what went down. Don't want to. Hate to see people make really huge mistakes. And.....I did invest a whole summer hoping for a better result than last year. Dave.....I will give it one more year....but that's it. Granny will be toooo old.

Thanks for all of your insight and comments Dave. You're a class act and I really enjoyed watching you on the show. I've already bought my tickets for the tour and am SO looking forward to it!!

Either Lukas or Dilana would have made me happy...and I can't wait to see them both.

Thank you again!

Hi Dave
The show was a great one...celebrated alot of deserving talent....but they made the right choice for (not touring as) supernova....always a Canadian! BOOYAAAAAAA.
Seriously, props to the class shown by the other 3 finalists.
For a laugh....other threads have suggested season 3 title be Rockstar: Supporting Homeless Canadian Singers.....Maybe it'll drop taxes....JK

It will be good to get back to stasis here at 6767. The cum-guzzlers will start watching Survivor and vacate the premesis. THANK GOD!!! Back to the good ole days!!! Yayyy!!!! Rock on!!!

Hey Dave,

Tell Suave Porn to put out a concert DVD of you guys on tour in Jan/Feb.I was waiting for one from INXS and it never came.Strike while the iron is hot man.I don't even like INXS except for a very few songs and generally hate bands like the Duranies and the Hootie guy and the Matchboxers(my wife made me see the Matchboxers and I spent the whole show walking around the arena drinking beer and talking to random strangers.But I saw INXS cause I thought that Fortune was a really dope frontman cause of the show.Ya know what he was a totally fucking cool rockstar.He would have been able to show Tommy the boat no questions asked.But put out a DVD with PC,House band and Suave Porn a 3 hour 20min concert.That sucker will sell.As long as there is no Ryan on it then I'm not buying it.He grinds my gears.

It's only normal that one or two singers were favored to win by those who worked on the show. People will have their own opinions, no matter what. Besides, when you've got people doing this for a living (like the band, Dave, and the producers), they probably can tell pretty quickly who's right or not. So what if Lukas seemed more of an obvious choice than others. It doesn't mean the show was a sham, but rather that its format works.

ATTENTION TOBY FANS:

Can't get enough of our Toby? Missing your fix already?

Check these out & get on the Rand Wagon where Toby and his band Juke Kartel put the ROCK back in Rock and Roll! Hear their music. Watch out for his soon-to-be-released single 'Throw it Away', to be followed by other rockin' originals of Toby and his band. They will be planning a tour soon also, so keep tuned in.

For some above messages:
Lukas was in the bottom two at some point during the night not in the bottom 3 total...MBP have their homework done on that one.
In BC Global aired a full show at 8pm - so they got it right as they moved west...glad I am not visiting my folks in Nova Scotia!
Dave, any truth to the rumor that Magni is joining the band???? What a business move that would be!
Thanks again for lending your space, feeding our curiosity and hanging out with the people! Hope to catch you in beautiful BC.

Dave,
Thanks for another fun ride. I loved Season 1 but really wasn't sold on that project until I got to see JD with INXS in Vancouver at the first show. So I'll keep my wait-and-see attitude for the new Lukas+unnamed-backing-band project. Maybe. But I'm worried about songs -- do these guys really have the material?

I'm bummed that the Vancouver show is sold out -- I would have loved to see Panic Channel and the House Band. Love the House Band! From the contestants, Ryan and Storm in particular rocked my world this year. I can see how they weren't right for this group, but I really thought Toby could have been a good choice. Think of the women he'd bring in!

So glad I found my way to your blog -- thanks perezhilton for that. Your comments have been pretty frank and to-the-point, both on the show and in this forum. I heard your interview with Ryan but missed the one with Storm. Is there any way to access that in the archives?

Enjoy the party tonight and good luck with your return to your regularly scheduled life -- I'll continue to visit regularly!

Hey EveL--how about:

Hay hay hay
hoe hoe hoe

This lawn
I've got to mow...

Yeah I have to agree that Toby was the one that always stole the show and I would tune out when the punker emo boy came on. Suave Porn was truly intimidated by his supersized talent. Well they're gonna fizzle fast anyway, so here's to Toby getting distance from the old farts.
Best of luck to you Toby and your band Juke Kartel. I will remain one of your mega fans and follow your career. At least you're not getting sued for your name either. Way to go dude. You rocked and made the season worthwhile. Thanks for sharing your enormous talent with the world.

Lukas sucks donkey balls. Then again, so does the band that just hired him. Yuck.

I think they (esp. Tommy) were more intimidated by the thought of getting crushed in the girl stampede over their tired old asses to 'get' to Toby.

Can you imagine what Tommy's ego would have to go through on a tour with Toby?

ALOHA DAVE!!!!from nursie on the Big Island of Hawaii. I used to see you years ago when I lived in Venice.DAVE YOU REALLY MAKE THE SHOWS!!! your comments are so cool and I too LOVE PLANTS SONGS!!

Hey Dave
I was just @ the SN myspace and there is alot of shit going down. Thought I'd share what I posted.......bunch of homophobes and music critic wanna be's in there, came back for some fresh air...seems like they are here to...it's dark there folks...very,very dark.......bad karma

WOW!!!!!!!
There is an awful lot of people in here that had their Cornflakes pissed on today. With all of your venom and anger, if channelled correctly, could provide power for an entire 3rd world country!
Chill out people, it is what it is, and bitching and moaning will not change a thing.
To givepeaceachance, pratice what your name implies and stop stirring the shit and quit being so hypocritical. In the last few days, you are one of the worst aggitators.
Well, music is a passion, and it seems to bring out the best and worst of human kind.
And in all reality, do any of you think someone from SN is actually going to read any of this crap? If you do, I have a bridge for sale.........?
Congrats to you Dave and SN for a great season, Lukas is IT!

How about

Hay hay hay

I wont pay to
see their show

I really, really hope Magni goes somewhere with his new-found opportunity here - I mean, I wish Lukas and the guys well, but I'm not worried about them - they'll make out fine. But I really became a Magni fan throughout the show and I really want to see him get a CD or something out of it.

Thanks for a great season, Dave, and I hope y'all get to do this again next year! It's a lot of fun, and you're an absolute kick to watch :)

Hay hay hay

Vomit sing will
never go..

Hey Wicked Witch, Toby is the only one out of all of them, whose vocals aren't overshadowed by whats-their-name. Jason said so himself on the finale. But oh I guess that's not important to them because they want a punky looking boy and image, vocals are not important. What an insult to their fans. As for love handles, ummm Lukas can't even get up to cheer for his mates, unlike Toby and the rest of them. SN have all at one point or another, pointed out Lukas's laziness. And what fun he is to hang out with? He has to keep checking on his cake makeup and mascara. Personally, I'd rather work with a professional like Toby, who brings the talent to the table and gets the job done. In Gilby's words, 'I mean, if you're not gonna bring it to me, what the hell do I need you for?' Well stated Gilby. What the hell do we need you guys for?! You don't bring it. Oh and one more thing Wicked Witch, I have to laugh at you making the comment about Toby's song..as compared to um What's that Hey hey ho ho song anyway? Lukas sounded and looked like an imp on helium trying to perform it. Case closed.

I gotta say, I didn't see the decision coming, but I was secretly rooting for Lucas for a while now. After his acoustic performance of Headspin, it seemed undeniable. It wasn't so much that the others didn't possess the same level of talent, they just had it different areas that I didn't feel complimented Super Nova as well. All this being said, I wish them the best and look forward to an album.

As to you Dave, one thing I always thank the show for is leading me to you new band's album. I've always wanted to listen to your stuff, because the buzz is always popping about your guitar work, but I just couldn't get into Jane's Addictions vocals. And for me, the vocalist has to interest me or I have trouble listening to the song at all, irregardless of the instrumental work. But thanks to Panic Channel, I now have the chance to listen to you all rock out, and I get a great vocalist to go along with it. That album is extremely solid, so thank you for getting that out!

Hey Dave! This is a record for me..5-6 posts already today? I must be nuts. Unfortunatly I don't hear voices in my head so I suspect I must be sane which confuses me because if I were sane would I be spending so much time on a tv show worrying about people I will never meet, never become best friends with, never have babies with...oh yeah, I don't want any more babies.

I am glad that Lukas won. I want only the best for Supernova. I hope that they have a long and successful career. And I think they will. An album that was put together as quickly as this is bound to have a few clunkers and sound awkward and rushed. But I'm patient and I think that these four guys have a tremendous amount of talent so I am willing to wait for them. Some say that this is just a one year deal but it doesn't have to be, does it.

And as for conspiracy theories, I hate to tell you but it's all part of a Canadian plot to take over the world. First we ship all our actors down to control the movie industry, now we are sending our musicians so they can send subliminal messages in their songs. Once we have finished brainwashing you, you will close all the Starbucks, declare Tim Horton's coffee the best, and anyone who disagrees will be pelted to death with Timbits. Mwaaaahhhhaahhahhaa!!!

Have fun on your much deserved vacation and I look forward to listening to you when you come back. (btw, how about giving me the keys to your place while you're gone. You know, just to pick up your mail, water the plants, keep everything tidy. I wouldn't have a wild and crazy party. Nuhuh, not me. I'm an old lady. I have bad hips. I can only drink tequila...lots of tequila...lots and lots of tequila...perhaps I shouldn't have said that.)

And when we chose Pukis
the world we dissed
and now our fans
are gunna go...

there ya go EveL >:-)

First of all, people, to call it "rigged" is a little far but to think these guys waited until the last 10 seconds to pick a winner is absurd and would be foolish on their part. Some planning and development had to take place, period. There's no way it couldn't, so for the sake of your own entertainment and their careers, just enjoy the show and shut up! I do think they had Lucas pegged for a while and it played out just like I thought it would -- not like I would have done it, however.

I didn't like the rushing part. Some of us have invested too much emotional gas into this stupid thing to have the big ending interrupted by a commercial and no reunion show. That's not asking much. As for the live performances, definitely canned, but who cares. That's how it works on television. I didn't notice the Survivor commercial thing, but I'll look for it later. If they had used Ryan's car song, would anyone have said anything?

I really hope on the live tour that the House Band gets a proper mix and not a toned down one that makes Supernova sound better to the novice listener. That happens on the show -- the band rocks so hard that most people can't pick up on it -- and if it happens live, I'll be one ticked off Magni fan.

The band's new name is officially "Rock Star Supernova" -- it was fun trying to come up with a new one, but one click to their supernovarockshop.com clearly shows that they've sidestepped this issue by adding two words, one of the options presented in the legal hearing.

Dave, it was very cool of you to make a post in between the finale ending and the wrap party. That just shows how committed you are to connecting with your fans. "Good on ya" for that, "mate." Just remember to follow Toby's advice on the upcoming tour and CHECK ID before playing doctor with anyone backstage. You could get in trouble for that in most states. Not sure about Canada.

Bottom line, Lukas was the most all-around contestant on the show. I didn't think he was the right fit for Supernova's style -- that was Toby -- but Lukas made me believe that he can make Supernova into something special. Now let's see him pull it off. Magni was easily the most talented of the group, just not most entertaining. Toby was most entertaining.

Can't wait to see Magni, Storm, Toby rock with the House Band. Lukas will turn Supernova into a great show. The Panic Channel will bring Dilana on stage and dedicate "Why Cry" to her, but not let her sing. :)

My last thing -- Toby's acoustic performance of "Karma Police" on the Week 11 Webisode is amazing. Here's hoping they release a full version of that.

Thanks for the hotel room this summer, Dave. I'll sneak in the window from time to time. See you at the show in Phoenix.

Thanks for the site for the blog for the whole everything cos it's been warm, entertaining and sweet to hang in the glow.
RS SN - I didn't support Lukas and I think he's a jerk based on the glimpses from the "reality" mansion episodes, could you even imagine having to write a song with him - he would annoy the crap out of anyone who tried to concentrate / be quiet / work. Having said that he is a natural, a genuis and one of those people in life that can just jump onto their board and skate without ever having to learn and he simply doesn't have the sensitivity to give a fuck about those around him who can't is probably all it is. He will learn. Or he's an asshole but it would only be possible to know for sure if you knew Lukas himself. Congrats to him regardless.
It isn't down to us as fans to criticise in a nasty personal way - which was really fucking me off when I was reading shit about Dave on his own blog - but the problem is it's a chunky slab of human nature to bitch and be freely vocal about our likes and dislikes when given the forum.
Also, maybe you should get ear plugs Dave. You definitely did mention that you wouldn't want to listen to Lukas for 2 hours. Tho I really get that there is a point when you don't give a fuck cos whoever wins wins and it's over.
Have a great week off.
Love and Silky kisses..x.x.x.x.x

Dave, you're awesome. I was going to tell you all the reasons why I think this but I'm too giddy right now with the outcome of tonight's show. Lukas is going to be great with this band. Thank you for all your encouraging words to him and the other rockers.

You have an amazing supply of energy to dedicate to others and the development of their talents. We all benefit from your enthusiasm.

Looking forward to the performance in Vancouver this February! ...And I like hanging out on this website - you are definitely one of the few I've added to my favorites.

I tried listening to the first single, but couldn't understand a damn word that mush mouth sang. Great choice. What pisses me off the most is that they obviously made up their mind a week ago and didn't listen to a damn thing any of the other rockers did after that. All that effort and great singing was wasted as they wondered what producer could fix Lukas's crappy singing. My suspicion is that Tommy Lee took a shine to Lukas and overrode the other 2. Group effort, whatever. The votes didn't matter. Nothing in the last few weeks mattered. Obviously, the quality of the singer doesn't matter either. Keep rockin' Dave because you're the only one sitting on those thrones who can.

Well that's gonna be some tour. The Panic Channel isn't on the charts yet and the punker kid emo wannabe from the back streets of Toronto trying to be heard through a crowd that wants their money back. If in fact, any show up. Good luck to you all. You deserve each other. The only saving grace may be the House Band. Hopefully they can keep some people around for ya'll. Obviously Suave Porn needs their fans or they wouldn't have invited em.

The thunderous booing and disappointment from the crowd that was ALL there for TOBY, when he was axed abruptly after all the sweet b.s. kiss off from Suave Porn, said it all.

I like this one, jeff:

"How about

Hay hay hay
hoe hoe hoe

I wont pay to
see their show"

Perfect. But I like Lukas a lot. The little fucker made me cry the 2nd time he did Headspin. It's a great song. And I do find him compelling.
Would have been just as happy with Toby or Dilana. I think all of them were better than the band they were trying to front.

Now I gotta get some sleep. Got my own audition coming up, but as backup rather than front. (Frontman's a fuckin' legend in certain circles, tho, so I don't mind being HIS backup -- wouldn't do it for just anybody).

Wish me LukasLuck. ;-)

EveL >:-)

Actually there is something else too - I'm really fucked that Toby didn't win because although I started off supporting Dilana she would squash like a fly with any more exposure to the reality of RS lifestyle further she can't write and where's the band input if she can't write. BUT anyway, TOBY was great and should have won. Also he's a really hot looking guy even without the nipple piercings (snuffle)and he seemed the sweetest. Him AND Magni were familiar, the kind of guys you know you could chill with - laugh with - but Lukas won and RS SN wanted something different to what we saw I guess and besides Lukas will need fuck off massive platform shoes to even get seen infront of them all on stage. Ok small insignificant bitchfest over. Have a nice day everyone.
x.x.x.Silky kisses.

Did Jason say CRUSH IT, or did he say twirl backwards around the stage and pretend you're a ballerina school drop out? Emo boy looks like he's gonna pass out after one little song. How is he gonna last for a couple of hours? He hasn't a clue how to interact with a crowd. Is that rock and roll people? Nevermind that he's inaudible, yipes.

Wow a really bad choice was made tonight. Well I hope they can live with themselves now. I mean it's going to be interesting once the initial hype is over, if anyone can remember a single lyric to their songs. Can you imagine between the forgetability factor of SP's lyrics, to not being able to understand a word their lame singer spits out? How depressing, after all the great talent they had to choose from they pick the least one of the bunch. Well except for the few Canadians that are proud of their home boy, that will die out quickly too. Anyway, it's obvious Jason is really busy with his other Canadian band and Tommy has his own stuff going on too. At the end of the day, I'm glad the real talents didn't have to sell themselves out to this crap. Good on em.

I seem to be the only one who wanted Magni to win (Icelandic pride, bitches!)

But what I really wanted to adress was the miss-classifacation of Lukas as "emo" as it where.

have none of you heard of Glam Rock?
Marilyn Manson, Murder Dolls, etc.

and spi, how can you possibly be expected to be taken seriously if you finish every sentence with "HELL-FUCKIN-OOOOOOO!!!!!"?

come on

My god Dave you cant be serious and actually say he was the right choice .
He is very hard to understand and looks like he is having fits on stage a couple of times I thought he would actual fall sideways while he was TRYING to sing.
You must be using the same illicit drug they were when they chose him ( or getting paid to say it)
I know I will never buy there album I will wait until the other 3 bring out there's and give them my hard earned $$
A bad choice was made and once the hype of the show dies down supernova will die right along with it ,which is a pity as they could of been great!!

I also wanted to clarify one thing:

As far as I understand, Magni was eliminated because he played too well with the house band, am I correct?

someone explain that one to me

I've got all of Toby's performances downloaded. He is LEGEND, man and I can't wait to hear more of him. His own band Juke Kartel rocks. You're going to be hearing alot more of him!!!

Nemo the Emo boy sounds like he's gasping for air when he's trying to sing. Poor guy needs oxygen or something. I don't think vocal coaching will help. It's a serious problem.

WARNING.. VENOM FREE POST

Thaks for helping to bring Rock and Roll back to television Dave. I am a product of the midnight special and Don Kirshner's rock concerts and it's soooooo nice to hear and SEE performances in the comfort of our own homes.. with the lovely new twist of the keyboard in our laps to bitch whine moan complain and revel in what we do and don't like.
I love to have music on full time .. but watching the performances makes a world of difference.
Seeing your handsome face was a nice perk too.. (damn man! you have nice skin----- and lips.. and ... wait, I'm getting distracted...

no really... distracted

umm.. totaly lost my train of thought

~big freekin pause while I collect myself~

yeah.. thank you for giving us an entertaining summer.

aww crap.. I wish I could edit for typos

The posts on this thread is really entertaining. I can see that only a few of you get it that this was a TV program, and not a real serious band. They'll be touring for two months, and that's it. Then it's back to reality for all of them.

Sure, they might have had Skunk Boy pegged as their front man, maybe even before the show started, but they were obligated to run the course of the series. I've enjoyed watching the show, and I had my favorites, but I always knew in the back of my mind that this was only a TV show.

So far, there original material basically reeks, Skunk Boy can't sing, Gilby can't play lead guitar, and none of the original three can write songs. I've also heard that Magni is going to be with them as a side man playing lead guitar, vocals, and maybe help out in the song writing department. Wouldn't it be funny if RS SN became Magni's backing band?

Yeah we're all out here voting our asses off for a rockstar and what do we get? A major joke. The whole thing was rigged right up to the finale show and Dave thinks we're all idiots too. Well the joke was on us, but hey we can and will still support the real talents who got the boot by some old geezers who are trying to make themselves popular again with some gothy punk kid out in front of them. Screamo. Super Barf Fest.

check out this photo

yep to supporting the real talents...
(Storm Large)

I have tried to avoid getting in the fray but the old geezer shit is starting to bug me. Just because you rode a dinosaur to your prom doesn't mean you don't know rock and roll when you hear it. There are some pretty ancient dudes out there that can rock their own socks off.

Have to laugh at how pathetic all the lies suave porn told all season long and manipulated the contestants into the palm of their hands, knowing all along the punker kid didn't have to do a thing to earn the prize. they had the rest of them jumping through hoops. we need to complain to mark burnett or cbs about this everyone. i could see the writing on the wall on it from day one, but it i hoped this year would be different with a different band. last year jd the homeless canadian went in knowing he had the prize already, so he did nothing to earn it. ditto this year. some top notch talent is out there, the ones overlooked here are an example. too bad the band already had theirs picked. they might have actually made something interesting of this.

Next year the show needs a new name. I know!

Rockstar Homeless Canadian Wannabes

shit, lame ass haters. one guy keeps posting the same shit using diff names sorry your so upset because who you wanted didn't win but fuck get a life asshole. (DEEZ NUTZ)

man i'll be glad when we get back to regular SRL nights.

Yo Dave Peace brother

Aloha Dave~

Your thoughtful insight and commentary added another dimension to this whole RS:SN experience. Thanks for keeping it real. Best wishes to you and the PC.

Dave, I am a Landman and a Cow Rancher from Alberta. I am glad you are off of the TV now because you disgust me. Your tattoos are a bad influence on kids and your lifestyle of prostitutes and rock music is immoral. A final comment I have is that I think Toby should have won. He clearly was more talented than that horrible french Canadian guy with the terrible voice. Now just stay away from our kids Dave. Thank you kindly.

two comments i agree with in all the past posts -
Tell tommy to call his band SUAVE PORN!!! It's awesome and suits them to a T

I give no love to SKUNK BOY but i love the name.

Finally - I've been reading 6767 since before RockStar INXS days and I'll miss regular posts but BRING BACK THE TOP 10 soon :o))))

To add to PhanTim's last post: a Canadian wrote the infamous "axis-of-evil speech". Need I say more? ;)

And Dave, what's with your blog not being 'Mozilla friendly'? Clicking on the menu at the left of the screen accomplishes absolutely nothing on Mozilla. Slave to Microsoft? And to think I thought you were a rebel. ;)

Firstly THANKS Dave ... I'm a new admirer but was wondering if you can answer a question or direct me on where to find the answer.

Who is going to be playing the tour with the House Band? I guess I really want to know because it's 400 miles to the closest venue on the tour and it's winter in KS/IA ... you guys couldn't have played in KC???? or Omaha???

Anyway, I would love go to see you and The Panic Channel and the House Band, I do know if it was only Supernova with Lucas I wouldn't even consider trying for the trip. But I would like to know if Storm, Magni, Toby & Dilana are going to be in DesMoines ... especially Storm ...

Thanks again for a great season. Oh btw, I don't "do" TV ... but have been actually going to peoples houses, or having a friend tape the shows and watching on You Tube. You've even gotten me considering television again. It's been 4 years since I had cable or even local channels. By choice, lack of reception and necessity (being on ssdi isn't finacially easy) ... I thought I was un hooked to the tube ... oh well ... before next summer I'll probably be connected again to the brain drain waves ... Of course I will always keep my DSL and actually first came to RS:SN via MSN.com ... it was great being able to vote via the web.

Well Dave, thanks for having 6767 available, and I'll keep tuned into this site ...

deb

sorry just for comedy reasons

gimmee HEY HEY HEY
gimmee HO HO HO
gimme SKUNK BOY?
NO NO NO NO :O))))

They made the right choice inasmuch as that's who they wanted.

Plus...

Janet Charlton got lucky! Now that she made that lucky guess more people will visit her celebri-blog to keep up with gossip!

And here's Janettttttttt...

Smug as a bug in a rug!!!

Brain birchall. Well, I don't agree with you, but I can respect that you're entitled to your own opinions. Rossi is not a French Canadian (not that I see why it should matter to you (we're not all that bad, you know)). He's in fact an Italian from Toronto ('Rossi' is the equivalent of 'Smith' to Italians).

I feel so sorry for Lukas. This is going to destroy his career in one easy step. The guy is a great songwriter, a great singer, and now he's going to be strapped to the dead weight of Supernova's crap songs and dancing girls.

Dilana should have won - better for everyone, she didn't have any artistic credibility to lose and Lukas could have gone on to his solo career.

Dave, thank you for offering to play on Dilana's CD and Gilby for wanting to help. She was the real deal. The talent. I will look for her cd here in New Zealand and over the net if I have to. One good thing is I found your site. And look forward to coming for a visit from time to time to catch up on all that you and the crew are up to. Good luck to you and thank you again for your support of talent when you see it.

PhanTim??!! Damnit, next you'll be giving them our nanaimo bar recipe and telling them that the nuclear testing range under said codename is the cover for our genetically cloned atomic laser killer whales!!

As for your drinking habits, surely you aren't confessing to drinking anything other than our own national CC or homebrew?? Just please PLEASE do NOT tell him about *censoredforsecurity*!!

Hi Dave and thank you for this page.
I guess everybody have a different oppinion about the winner. Without wanting to be mean or rude, I do have to say for myself, I'll never listen to anything or go to concert with SN as long as Lucas is the frontman. I neither like looking at him nor listening to him. Any other of the top 6 would have be a much better choice. I'm starting to think that the SN didn't want anyone in the band that would outshine them :-S.

What an effing joke. Bunch of geriatric clowns.
Dilana: beat their sagging arses in the charts!
NEW ZEALAND x

Well I'll tell ya .. I knew on Tues.. that Lucas was the winner, and then yesterday they started playing the new Survivor commercials and they had Lucas singing on them, well that was another dead give away, I mean come on.. he was already doing commercials before the end of the show...lol... I'll be watching Dilana, buying her cd's, and supporting her all the way... Not happy with the choice of the band, but, like you said Dave, everyone has there own oppionion and if we don't like it .. don't have to buy it, watch it, or listen to it....I just dont' see Tommy Lee, Jason, and Gilby hanging out with a sparkly lip gloss boy...they are manly men, and he (Lukas) needs a eyebrow tweeze, and some major makeup advice...and he needs to loose the damn skunk hair.... Anyway... Thanks for another great season of new commers..... I'll be watching for this next summer ...and listening to the panic channel.... awesomeeeeeee....
huggerzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

This morning they taped the finale of Rockstar Supernova and just as this site predicted, LUKAS is the winner! We're doing our victory dance! We thank all the supportive readers who never doubted we were right. Now aren't all you readers who vociferously scoffed at us a bit ashamed? Especially Dave Navarro, who insisted we were just guessing and attempted to belittle this site by saying we were "no Perez Hilton." We may not be Perez, but YOU Dave, are no Tommy Lee either! Sorry to rub it in, but we were 100% RIGHT, Dave, when we named the winner back on August 27. We realize CBS is not happy about the leak that the winner was actually chosen quite awhile back, and it may raise questions about how fair the contest really was. But that's YOUR problem. We're just here to inform our readers!

RELATED ITEMS:

Ooh Janet Charlton is a cheeky little monkey isn't she?

Dilana is the REAL WINNER:

1. Opens with the HB (only about 1000x better than SN)
2. Gets to tour for 3 months.
3. Will get BETTER REVIEWS that SN.
4. Can cut her own album with the great Dave Navarro (thanks Dave!).
5. Will have far better groups that SN beating her door down with offers to be their lead.

Dilana definitely won this gig. If SN bombs and the critics hate they (they will), Lukas could be really hurt here. I mean him no ill will, I just don't think he can sing - at - all. But as always YMMV.

Reply to ZOT- You got it, If Stupidnova were Ever considering being taken Seriously , they wouldnt go Shopping for a frontman on a TV show, This was a steady paycheck that Kept the spotlight on them, Brilliant marketing, but Extremely short shelf life span. It Was entertaining to watch Newsted do a Butthead imitation all damn summer, I was POSITIVE he would say " Come to butthead,,,,,,,Huh huh huh",,,He is a 4/4 time quarternote cowboy (no musical talent whatsoever)Christ a spider monkey can be taught to play quarternotes in 4/4 time.

JUST STEP BACK:

If you had a choice between these two gigs, which would you pick?

1. Headline the friggin amazing House Band on a World Tour, have your own CD coming out with DN playin on it and no contractual obligations holding you to SN.

2. Headline SN with their craptastic 3 chord music and have your career ruined when the critics hate them? Oh yeah, and when you perform, you get to FOLLOW Dilana and the House Band. (Just shoot me now).

To Mitchell- Hell yeah, I said that months ago, Stupidnova Deserves Lucas,,,,,,,,and Dilana deserves MUCH more than Stupinova

TICKET SALES?

For SN's sake, I hope 15 year old girls can afford $125 for a concert ticket.

Of the FINAL 4, Lukas had the LEAST SONGS in the MSN Music Top 100.

So, what happens when SN is in conccert and half the crowd leaves as soon as Dilana's set is done?

There might be a repeat of the WHO show in Ohio where people were trampled to death,,,,,,,,,But this time it will be heading to the EXITS !!!!!

Well I hope that Dilana really gets to HEADLINE the HB and it isnt just her for two songs, Stormie for two songs, Toby... You know what I mean.

My guess is that Dilana will be the headline for the HB and Stormie will sing with Panic Channel.

Dilana may be a great singer and stage presence, but I cannot honestly see how anyone could watch her original songwriting on the webisodes and say she's talented.

On other notes, how come people always seem to say

"I pegged Lukas as the winner from week 1, he has the talent", then go on to say "This sucks it was all a fix from the start."

Uhh maybe the "fix" was that the thing you saw that made him stand out was the same thing SuavePorn saw?

Dilana needs the opportunity to sing the Blues, Her damn voice is Custom made for Blues and Soul OLD SCHOOL STYLE,,,,,,,,,Joe Cocker style

hey Dave, you've been awesome all this season and i've loved your support of dilana. Please look after D - she's so unique and talented, I hope she becomes internationally famous so we can hear her down under in New Zealand too.
Good luck with Panic Channel - sounds great. Ever thought of taking D on as your lead singer?!

I thought I would wake up this morning and all this would just be over.

I guess not.

It's all instant mash potatoes, add water and stir.

I was never a fan of instant mash potatoes. I like my mashed potatoes homemade.

I am a huge Dilana fan.

I will also be the first to agree she can't write lyrics - however, she does arrange very well (look at Roxanne).

Dilana is a great performer. That puts her in a category with at least 100 major superstars that aren't great writers but can sing their asses off.

Being from Iceland I voted for Magni all the way ... pure national pride ... I would have paid more money to see Toby than Lukas though purely for the audience participation and jumping around bit ... I'm going to go visit Australia now ...

Ivan - I couldnt agree with you more. Seems the demon spawn of Gates is still on its world domination kick.

Dave - if you are involved in a RS3, for god's sake get outta bed with MSN. Microspawn is the only os that insists that you have to use its propietry crap.

Couldn't add a comment on the SN site, couldn't watch the webisodes, couldn't do half the stuff that it was supposed to, coz Im run a microspawn free zone.

Seems some web designers have got their heads firmly up their bums and still fantasize that everyone on the net uses IE.

More Power to the Penguin!!!

Hi Dave. :-) I’ve been smiling and laughing all evening. LOL Honestly, I can’t remember the last time I was this ebullient. :-) I didn’t sleep a wink last night due to power voting, it’s past three a.m. now and I couldn’t care less. LOL *flicks Bic lighter in anticipation of the upcoming tour* :-) Thank *you* Dave. You have been insightful, inciting LOL, gracious and charming throughout what has been pure Bedlam at times. I’ve never been a huge fan of “reality TV� type shows, but you’ve managed with this program to pull off something original and worthwhile. Thanks for the intro to some amazing musical artists and all the other great things/people that have come into my life as a result of “Rockstar:Supernova.� Party hearty—all of Lukas’s fans certainly have been LOL—and hope you have a wonderful vacation soon. :-) Hmm… speaking of lotteries, I have some tickets to check. ;-) JC didn’t help with the number selection, though, so I’m not holding my breath. *bwahh ha ha* ^^

Whats with all the shite about Dilana's lyrics - give me a break.

Seriously, go and listen to the lyrics of Motorhead - Lemmy aint exactly a poet laureate in the lyrics department.

In fact a hellava lot of good rock songs have completely crap lyrics. Its the music that makes them good.

By the way - why do you think Sir Gilby offered to help Dilana with her CD - he knows which album is gonna sell the most copies. I bet he will be asking for his cut of the profits too.

here's the deal all. Dilana has a CD avail on Amazon. Its an old import. Her sales rank is #66. Do you know how huge it is to be in the top 100 sales on amazon??? Even to be in the top thousand is huge. Last night when I checked she was at #160...I wonder if the SN release will be that successful. Dilana's CD is outselling some of the biggest names out there right now, like Panic! At the Disco, Neil Young, OK GO, and Pete Yorn. Go Dilana. You can find her release under Dilana Smith on Amazon.

Dave, thanks for an awsum summer. this show gave my friends and I something to talk about each week. Personally, I never really saw any of the singers fitting in with SN, but only they know what sound & look fits their creative talents. Good luck to Lukas & them and I really was impressed by the House Band, they really made the show a hit. Without question, the tour will rock because The Panic Channel is there! I'm not here just for the SN show, I'm here primarily for you & your music which I love and I truly hope TPC makes it to Florida without the SN tour so I can see you headline!
Thank you!
Artie

That would indeed be totally awesome.

Kiwichick, you are a fucking idiot!

The whole show was staged!! How can knowbody notice when Supernova preformed the picture quality on the screen changed like it was pre recorded and Suckass had different sunglasses on than through out the rest of the show!!!!! Janet was right. It was fixed!!!!! Not to mention the fact Putting just Luckus in the commercial for Survivor before they even made the announcement. How more obviously rigged does it have to be. Anyone who tivoed this fakeass show needs to go back and re watch it and you'll see I'm right!!!!!

Thanks Sue - I will get that tattooed on my forehead tommorow, just in case I forget. Fucking idiot that I am.

Dave,

Thanks for everything! I enjoy visiting and listening daily and will continue to do so.

Like you, Dilana and Lukas were in my top three from the start. The competition between the two got closer at the end and I'm happy Lukas took it. The band sounded great together last night and looked the part. I think the tour is going to be great and my wife and I hope to get to a show.

BTW, any interests in adding St. John's, Newfoundland to the venue? Don't worry about a place to stay ... you guys can crash at my house ... SN, TPC, House Band, ... the works!

Here are all the reasons we know that RS-Supernova was a rigged game show.

1) In Eastern Time Zone, the segment of Lukas Rossi playing "Be Yourself" with Supernova after he was declared winner was filmed. How can that be on a "live" show?

2) If Lukas was in the Bottom Two at some point during the previous night's voting, there is no statistical or mathmatical possibility that he could have ended up with the highest number of votes, especially in light of the fact that by your own revalations, Dilana was NEVER in the bottom two in the previous night's voting. At worst, she wavered between No. 1 and No. 2. For Lukas, he had to have wavered between No. 1 and No. 3 all night. I guess EMO freaks don't do so good at math, huh?

3) Ryan Star told a newspaper reporter LAST week that he was being named the "Fan Favorite" and would be returning on the finale. How can that be when there was a full week of "voting" still to go?

You guys WILL be investigated by the FCC to determine what type of fraud you are perpetrating. I know, Dave-o, that ultimately the rules say the band can pick anyone that is still standing in the finals. The FRAUD is that you made millions of dollars for encouraging text messaging in a bogus pre-determined contest.

Ta ta suckah!

Thanks, Dave, for a great show! It was great to watch. The finale wasn't such a high because I was sure that the band had made their decision like 99% way before the last show and just had to go along with the format. Lukas possessed all those star&danger qualities TLee said they were looking for, so best of luck to him. All the rockers on the show were great talents and I hope they all make the best out of the exposure they've got and become signed asap.
My high points of the season:
- Ryan Star eloping with the house band and into the stardom
- Magni's renditions of the old and great rock classics; he's got the voice
- Toby's fun and energetic performances (he would've been much more fun to watch fronting SN than Lukas, but I'm not really into SN music anyway, so who am I to say)
- Dilana being so sincere and real, giving kickass performances and having such a unique voice
and finally,
- finding this website and getting to know how great you are for the fans.

Just a note on your comment, Dave, about the hating and crap going on in fan discussions. In my experience, that's just what people are like these days. I don't want to get involved in my fave band's fandoms anymore just because there are always a percentage of people who don't hesitate one bit to write totally offensive things about their favorite band and its members and in the next sentence they still claim to be huge fans. Plus I don't want to spoil my day reading posts by semi-fans full of bad vibe. In a competition like this it multiplies: you're either for or against and nothing in between. The support isn't just the same it used to be. Where has the unconditional love gone? If you don't love something then go somewhere else, that's what I do.

Thanks again for making the show special with the wit and big heart of yours, and best of luck to the future!

Good Lord what a joke! I can't believe all these fucking Lukas fans, are they that fucking deaf AND stupid? This dude sucks more than a Hoover.
Supernova in my mind blew it big time when they chose this waste of time poser. I won't even bother buying or downloading their CD when it comes out. I'm getting ready to post my tickets on e-bay right now. Fuck Lukas and Fuck Supernova!

Thanks for everything Dave! My compalint from last night's show, Why the HELL did they show Lukas singing for the Survivor Cook Islands commercial BEFORE he was announced as the winner? I know the show was taped but what the hell??? My high schooler could have done a better editing job on the show too! I mean you could see parts that were cut and not edited properly; oh well. Hopefully next year will be as much fun! Still a Dilana fan and I am sure she will be better off.

I'm glad Lukas won. Hopefully his attitude can compensate for Gilby's rusty dried up playing. I kept hoping this whole season that Gilby would get voted off. He just doesn't fit in to the current scene like the others do. Good luck to all of you.

Oh yeah, I know Brooke said Dilana had the most votes because Lukas was bottom 3. But when the Tommy announced the winner, Lukas now had the most votes?? Like Dilana, we were also confused with that statement and then the "creative" and poor editing became a factor.

Rigged or not, I enjoyed the show all summer. Completely stunned by Dave Navarro, what a talent. AND those eyes! I've gotten into TPC and listen to Spread Radio Live at work.

Great job, great fun, now back to the grind. At least there will still be Dave's website and blog.

I also find it interesting that the last four for this week's finale just happened to be the only ones who were chosen to perform SuperNova tracks during the rest of the show ... coincidence?

I also suspect the only reason we were asked to vote was to be bombarded by advertising and help them make money. Ever heard of pay-for-click?

Think about it ... they had no restrictions on the number times you could vote. What's the point of that other than to keep you using your cellphone or seeing the ads at the top of the webpage.

I feel like I've just been scammed.

As a Storm fan from way back and the admin of Storm's own forums, I just want to say congratulations to Lukas Rossi.

My complaint that I can't undrestand 90% of the words form his mouth still stands, but I dig his charisma and stage presence.

I think Storm was the right choice based on pure talent. I think Toby was the right choice based on fitting in with the band and rocking an arena. However, if you were to make the choice based on which of the 15 original contestants wanted the gig the most and would appreciate playing with the band the most, I can't see selecting anyone other than Lukas Rossi.

Everyone else seemed to want the opportunity to show themselves to the world or to go with Supernova and see if they could parlay that into their own success later on. Lukas struck me very early on as someone who just simply wanted to Rock with Tommy, Dilby and Jason. I think he appreciates this gift for what it is more than anyone else would have and I don't begrudge him the enjoyment and success that this will hopefully bring him.

And finally, congratulations to the massive Rossi Posse. I don't know all the reasons you guys and girls love him so much (well, not as crazily as you do at least!), but you helped him stick through and reach a big dream of his and that is something any fan has to appreciate having a hand in for their own personal rock star.

I wish the best to Lukas, Storm, Toby, Dilana, Magni, Ryan, Dana and all the other rockers that came and went. I hope everyone will do themselves a favor and check out everyone who didn't make it to the last couple of episodes. Hit their Myspace accounts and websites and take a listen to their original material. Just because they didn't make it past the fifth or eighth week doesn't mean they don't have a lot of heart, ambition and love for their work and that their music isn't amazing (I for one really love Dana Andrews' Not A Lie and can't see why that girl and her band isn't signed already).

Finally -- Dave fucking Navarro. Thank you for being a stand up guy and laying down a track for Storm's Ladylike this week just as you promised you would. For that, you gained the respect of a lot of Storm fans who though you were probably just full of shit when you said it. Good on you, brother.

And, in honor of Toby -- see you all another time. EVS!

Dave,

Where were the other rockers who made this show so great for all those weeks. Burnett didn't even have the decency to recognize them in public? Did he make them pay to travel to LA? Make them pay for their own rooms? Make them pay for the own ticket to the show?

I know most of them were there so why couldn't you even acknowledge them in public?

Complete lack of class.

Janet Charelston said: "1) In Eastern Time Zone, the segment of Lukas Rossi playing "Be Yourself" with Supernova after he was declared winner was filmed. How can that be on a "live" show?"

Janet, are you retarded? What made you think the show was "live"? The show was recorded early Wednesday morning just like it always is. In fact, people who attended the taping had to show up by 8:00am, I believe. The show was taped, in the can and the results leaked out by 10:30AM PST.

I'll agree that I think they chose Lukas from day one, but you didn't have anything to base that on other than "hunch" like the rest of us. Stop taking common knowledge and trying to exploit it to pump yourself up in the public. Nobody cares (or knows) who you are.

Dear Dave

I have to commend you on this site. you really do know your public and what they want. rockstar IS Dave Navaro just wish you could get more involved like a jam session at the start of each show with random guests. anyway great job hope it happens again next year with a ton more originals, and you did a great job 2 years straight. Thanks man.

Regards
Dave.

Saw the show last night, thought everyone was pulling out all stops but was stumped when I saw the Survivor commercial with Lukas, my 8 year old started telling her brother that Lukas won (isn't it great when kids find out it's all a sham??... not). Anyway, once they saw that, they started to tell me that Lukas won since he was on the Survivor commercial.

I had already read on this website that Lukas had one but why tell the kids? I'm really disappointed in the way this was done.

After Lukas was announced and the kids started saying "of course he won, the commercial told us, etc", I changed the channel.

I think all of the final four will do extremely well, despite the way the show ended yesterday. Lukas wasn't my favorite but it isn't my band, I do think they all will do extremely well in whatever paths they choose and this gig gave them all a great opportunity to fight, really hard, for what they want.

Dilana was my choice, I think she held up losing this gig okay (not great), but I think your offer, along with Gilby's offer, was immensely kind of you and I truly hope she takes you both up on it. I do think she will be extremely successful and I can't wait to see her in concert, frontlining her own band.

On another note, I enjoyed watching the show tremedously, I loved sharing rock music with my kids and listening to them cheer their own performers - - that has been a joy.

Peace! Abby

Peace! Abby

"I need some entertainment up in this bitch", says Dave in a gangsta fashion...I luv it...classic...thanx for the FUN!!!!!!!!!!!

See You and the rest of TPC in Miami! Thanx for coming to my part of the world!

Lukas's voice is terrible, and that is something I can guarantee ontologically, mate. It's strained and faked and I have trouble listening to him sing for 30 seconds, let alone the two hours Dave prescribed in an earlier post. Anyway, it ain't my band. Good luck, yeah?

Hello David
Thank you for an awsome seson of Rockstar:D
And great blog, btw.
And Lukas?
He wasnt my fav. but who cares?
It's not my band and if they think he's the best for the band so be it.
Hope to see you one day
Love
-Steinunn

Maybe Im the crazy one here but.....

The show was great fun to watch. If I like the music I will buy the album. If I dont then I dont have to buy it. I can not get my mind around some of the people who are freaking out here. Some of you act like you have a vested interest in the performers futures and the world will fail to spin tomorrow if they were not choosen.

Can someone explain....and yes I know what its like to be a fan. Im just not able to grasp the obession end of things.

There's not a chance I'll buy an album. I'll download it for free via bit torrent and if it's good, I'll keep it. If it sucks like it probably will, I'll delete it.

Morning Dave,

Thank you for all the comments this year you have been great. I just have one comment, next year let see a RS with Alice in Chains. That would be great..:)

DragonTear

Oh well. Lukas won. I was pulling for Dilana. Thanks for the opportunity to see a lot of formerly unknown rockers. I'll be following the careers of Dilana, Toby, Magni, Storm and Ryan with great interest. Use this momentum guys and gals; don't blow it.
Thanks again for a great show and an opportunity to vent. The ride has been a roller coaster. I can't even imagine how the performers are feeling.
You know what I'd like to see? Some coverage of the wrap party.

Can't really say the whole thing was a setup, they picked who would be the best for their band. Good job for them, you don't have to like it, nor listen to it.
The thing that would have made it so much better was not to bag on the final 4 in the last couple episodes. They all have amazing talent. Good job DN, you were probably the most diplomatic in your comments and might I say well thought out. Gilby and T Lee, fuck you guys just don't give in. All I hear is "pitchy" and "you play to well with the house band". Your original is not memorable, sorry guys the supernova tracks are not memorable. Learn some coy and be greatful your even the position you are in old guys.
Other than the obvious it was a welcome change to see rock on the TV every week, that in itself is the best thing to come from the show.

Janet's a real fucking genius there. "No statistical or mathematical possibility he got the most votes".
Hmmmmmmm. Let's have a think there shall we love?

Voting at end of programme:
Total votes: 10
Dilana: 4
Toby: 3
Lukas: 2
Magni: 1

Oh noes! Lukas is in the bottom 2! He can't win.
Voting at end of voting:
Dilana: 10
Toby: 9
Lukas: 11
Magni: 8

What could have happened?? It's a FIX I TELL YOU.

Sorry for the elementary mathematics lesson there idiot.

Monkeys perform better than these washed up terds!! No talent for song writing that much is obvious. Skunk Boy singing those two songs with StupidNova at the end of the show made my "Headache" or "spin"!! Thanks for the waste of my time, you owe me big time. Losers!!

Did I miss hear Tommy Lee or did he say,"Lukas, you're a guy." Or did he say "You're our guy." I thought from the beginning that a woman wouldn't make it to the top. I would have prefered Toby to win. I think Lukas is an Adam Ant wanna be and I don't think he will last long. My prediction is that the little freak will OD in about a year. I have always been a Motley Crue supporter. I even bought the cd without Vince on it to show support, but I won't be a supporter of SuperNova with Lukas as the lead. Even if Janet is right and the whole thing was fixed it doesn't matter. It was still good to see some new talent. But Lukas' lack of expression made the ending very anticlimactic for me. What a crap ending for a good show. I hope Nikki Sixx is on it next year.

Dave,

thanks for putting things in perspective with your post. There will always be people who don't get the heart of entertainment television (or music, for that matter), being that it's meant to polarize and thus always leaving people disappointed. I for one would have liked Dilana to win - but well, I can see Lukas' stage presence just as everybody else and will sure grab a ticket if Supernova decide to hit Germany sometime. And if for any reason Supernova's coming album won't hit home with me, well, that's life - plenty of other good music out there.
I have a ton of respect for all the people on the show and I sure as hell won't lose that just because they chose someone to front their band, no matter who that is. It's their choice, so they have to live with it, just as simple as that.

Hope you had a nice aftershow-party. ;)

Dave what an awesome season!!! You gave quite a few good rockers a chance to get some really great careers going and we all thank you for that so much! Next season you should get Storm on a few shows to guest with you, her wit and humor would be a great match against yours, the chemistry between you two on the show was great, the banter alone could be a spinoff all by itself... Your offer to play on Storm and Dilana's new CDs is also so generous and really speaks volumes about how much you have grown attached to some of these performers as well. Thanks again!!

good one dave!!! I am sad that Dilana did not win but I know she will do fine on her own. Good luck with the tour. Maybe a stop in New Orleans will happen?????!!!!!

This is hands down the funniest thing I have seen on the internet today!

I AM HAPPY FOR LUKAS! OH DAVE I WILL MISS SEEING YOU SO.. AND ALL YOUR GOOD OUFITS! AND YOU HAVE SUCH A NICE SPEAKING VOICE AS WELL. SEE YOU IN NY! AND I WILL KEEP READING YOU. I AM SO INSPIRED BY YOUR ARTISTRY, PROFESSIONALISM AND WAY OF LIFE. LUVE ERIKA

I am shocked. I know the band likes Lukas, but listening to him for the past weeks--I just don't get it. His voice is grating. The good news is that he is going to a band whose music kinda sucks too. I'll hopefully see Storm, Magni, Ryan, and especially Dilana with other groups that don't sound like they are playing 1987 rock. I get why Jason liked Lukas, he grumbles like Metallica. But that doesn't seem to be what they are playing. Oh well

Hey Dave...
Great show.
Look forward to the next one.
Who cares who won. They are all great in their own way. Yes some like this and some like that. I remember(this will show how old I am), You were either a Beatles OR Stones fan. but they both made GREAT music.

Anyway,I know, It's only Rock & Roll, But I like it, like it, Yes I do!

Thank you Dav for a wonderful summer. I really do mean it, you have brought so much to this show in the last two years, that I hope you will be a part of it next summer. Please, please and please! Have a wonderful vacation! Come to Arkansas, the fishing is great! Love you forever...Hope to see all of you in Dallas!
Kathy from Arkansas

C*O*N*G*R*A*T*Z TO THE FOLLOWING;
1. To DAVE NAVARRO for providing this cool site where people can showcase their linguistic prowess and toss opinion grenades into each others' faces. When this mushroom cloud disperses ("nucular" as GWB would say) , I shall return to stay in the Navarro loop.
2. To MARK BURNETT for a masterful job of puppeteering, yet again, ad nauseum. It has been a distinct pleasure to totally see through the charade and yet be swept up in it, like a twig in a polluted river.
3. To LUKAS ROSSI for being selected and receiving the gift of an adrenaline shot in the ass... you've been at it for a long time and you deserve this chance. Anyone else out there in blog nation who has ever toured/starved/dreamed and been let down by this cruel crap shoot... you can relate and you will be happy for the kid. (this applies to all of the fifteen chosen rockers)
4. To SUPERCOMA for having the balls to erase any credibility that you ever worked to amass, in order to renovate your mansions. Ahhh, Jason... and I LOVE Voivod.... tsk tsk.
5. To TOMMY LEE for, A) being able to sit in an upright position and hit various objects while looking cadaverous. B) not mentioning that you have a mammoth pork sword every time you "speak". C) not dry-humping Storm on national television.
D) taking the English language into new territory.
6. To GILBY CLARKE for the scintillating/catchy lyrics and song structures evidenced thus far on Supercoma's tracks. You're making KISS sound like DYLAN, but I forgive you because you have a nice smile and your guitars are shiney.
7. To JASON NEWSTEAD for wearing denim jackets, not having jewelry punched into every orifice, not having more ink than the Sunday comics. Did I mention that I like Voivod? If I see one more Voivod shirt this calendar year, I'm going to vaporize.
8. To Brook Burke for your pregnancy. People who look like you SHOULD be fucking. (may you have a healthy baby, by the way)
9. To the HOUSE BAND, for being so deadly and making everyone sound amazing. Rafael... great to see someone shredding so tastefully on a prime time t.v. show.
10. To DILANA for surviving the "reality" of having cameras present to record every inglorious moment, and having to sit through the creative editing and broadcasting of your "bitchness".... and for taking a verbal ass-whuppin' from Dave like the tough chick that some of us know you are. You will actually get my dollar, as long as you limit the amount of writing you allow Gilby to do.
11. To TOBY for bringing some fun to the proceedings, and I suppose for having a good ass (not really my thing, being exclusively into the female form) and your "NEW CAR" (Price Is Right voiceover). Your stupid tune bounced around in my skull a little longer than I would have liked, but I forgive you.
12. To MAGNI for being a "regular guy" and just rocking for the sake of the MUSIC, which is what this was supposedly about.
13. To STORM for total class and visceral hotness that transcends gender and television. My eyes were popping too, when you were at your best.
14. To RYAN for having not one but two faces... the one you wore into the competition and the one you created along the way to try and win it. You gave me x-ray eyes, man, but I recognize talent and good piano-humping technique when I see it. (are you a fan of The Fabulous Baker Boys?) Anyway, enjoy the fame and pussy while you can.
15. To fellow posters who made me laugh, like BLOUMEISTER... for being able to string a sentence together and actually have something funny/constructive to add to this blog.
16. To those of you who posted enthusiastic feedback to my fucked up posts... glad you still know how to laugh at sarcasm; and thanks to those of you who emailed me at home... nice meeting you all.
17. To the "haters" ... I think it may be going a bit too far to label someone as a "hater" just because they don't agree with your views. I think true "haters" do things like hi-jack airplanes and fly them into buildings, go on shooting rampages in schools, etc. Having a passionate opinion about music makes you a "lover" in my book.
Well, I wanted to take this to #20 but you have spent fifteen precious minutes reading this, and time is money.
NOW GO AND SPEND IT ON SUPERCOMA!
Rock On,
Rick T.

so the canuck with the 'tude gets it again, so what? I for one am looking forward to your guitar prowesses on the future recordings of my rockstars, storm and dilana.... and keep magni around for good measure, ok?

your site is cool, will check in again!

Lukas is talented for sure, but I can't say I can really see him fronting Supernova. The tracks I heard of theirs didn't sound to me like like it called for someone with his voice. He seems a little more goth/punk in his singing, theatrics and style. I personally felt all his moves on stage were the same and can only understand about every 5th word. Dilana, I feel, has a much clearer voice, more varied theatrics, yet still has that "edge." I was considering going to see a show, but I don't think I can watch Lukas for that long. He's very talented, but not my cup of tea. Much luck to all of them and especially Dilana who I will be looking out for!

YOU HAVE SUCH A NICE SPEAKING VOICE AS WELL

Posted by: ERIKA at September 14, 2006 06:09 AM

Yep. Totally agree. I described it as liquid chocolate to a friend the other day ;O) yum

I was a fan of Magni's all season... but feel that they ultimately made the right decision. Lukas has great stage presence and can truly rock out! I loved that the band had Magni join in for the final song... it was AWESOME!

I personally think Lukas is a weaker singer than Dilana and should not have gotten the gig, but I see why he was chosen. He does have the "edge" factor going on with his looks and a little with his stage presence. I just feel his singing ability needs to improve a lot. I think he closes his throat way to much when he sings, almost like he is trying to sound like a garbled frog. It's hard for me to sit through him singing two songs let alone a full set! I also think he looks like he has turrets when he moves around the stage, he is just so stiff in his movements... Again this is all just my personal opinions. Supernova is comprised of alot of great talent (Tommy, Gilby and Jason) and I think they know what they are doing or looking for. I just hope Lukas improves and I think once he does and he actual opens up and just lets it rip without so much added force (like he is trying to hard) he will be awesome! Good luck to Supernova and to Panic Channel - Dave your CD is awesome!!!

Abby, CBS would have naturally known the results in advance of the show being aired. They are the ones who count the votes, no? Voting was all computerized, so they would have had plenty of time to produce the ad that you saw.

For me, during the competition Dilana was my choice. But the competition is over and now I can judge Lukus on his merits and not in comparison with others. I guess he's not such a bad guy. On Rockstar-INXS, I was rooting for Mig and Jordis. But after the competition, when I was no longer comparing I could see and aknowledge that JD was a good fit for the band. They have a great sound together and I love the cd. They are now a unit seperate from the competition and I can enjoy that. The same goes for the now complete SN. Not sure if they will be my cup of tea but I am certainly going to give their first CD a shot. Good luck to Lukus and the guys.

I am also looking forward to Dilana's cd. Hopefully it won't take to long and will be available in Canada. That is my problem with favorites that are runners up. If their music isn't available here I don't stand much chance of getting it.

Can't complain too much - two years of Rockstar and two Canadian winners!!!!

Dave, I enjoy this blog and although Rockstar brought me here I intend to stick around and keep up with your career. Can't attend the tour but wish you guys all the best. Hope you have a blast.

Hey ya', Dave...

This is my first post to your blog ever, though I've been reading along religiously since the show began.

I gotta say....though I don't personally have much interest in hearing Lukas Rossi limit what is otherwise an exceptional voice for a full hour plus on tour, I think the band made the best choice. Because as Storm says, it's what they want that matters. Choosing a lead singer is a very personal thing, and just because in this case that choice was made in front of the world, well...that doesn't make it any less personal. The dynamics of what it means to be a band don't change.

I'm grateful to Rock Star: Supernova. Really great rockers got exposure that they never would have gotten before...look at Storm: in the business for 15 years and only popular locally until now. If it weren't for Rock Star: Supernova, how could any of us have known that she existed, let alone to support her in her career? (I personally now own all of her previous studio recordings, and they rawk out, dude!)

Really, at the end of the day, whether we love 'em or hate 'em, this show wasn't just about a newly-forming band called Supernova. It was about music. And there was something for everyone: Storm's loungecore, Zayra's avant garde Bjork fused with Latin, Toby's life of the party anthems, Magni's AMAZING musicianship, Ryan's darker soulful tracks.... The list goes on and on. It's clear that not all these contestants were solely chosen as genuine possibilities for one specific band's needs. They were chosen because when it comes to music, they bring a helluva lot to the table in their own rights. And now, each and every one of them, if they choose to do so, will continue to do just that. And to do so to the breadth and width of an audience they never before could have imagined.

I also got the chance to discover your online radio channel, The Panic Channel, and I learned a bit about what really goes into being a so-called "rock star." The Rock Star clinics were inspiring to watch: finding out what goes into being a "complete package" as a vocalist and musician was just mindblowing. I have a whole new respect for those who have made a career out of the creative musical process.

So you keep rockin' on, Dave. I think you've not only handled the feedback (for better or worse) from Supernova fans and I am glad I got a chance to discover your passion for unearthing and supporting independent, up and coming artists.

I always enjoyed your music, but even as the tabloids might occasionally attempt to use your personal life to overshadow what's really important, I've gotten to see the crux of the matter: you're in it for the music, baby. And as a result, we've been introduced to yet another stellar group of performers who are in it for precisely the same reasons.

And now the beat goes on to an even better tune.

Well done, Dave.

And thanks again for the music. :)

Right on Dave ! You know...in the end, it's just a reality rockshow with the ending producing an album and a tour. Go see them, don't go see them but, don't get all worked up over it. Aren't there more important things going on in the world, in your live's...?
Dave, I am a newbie to your site and found it because I was scoping for RS new but, you have impressed me and amused me. I'll be checking you out regularly. I'd like to give a shout out to all those people at Dawson College ( Montreal ) who experienced something terrible on Wednesday.
God bless !

You know what, I'm just sick of every1 crying just because their favourites didnt get it and how it was a set up and all. So what it was a set up???? I was fully entertained throughout supernova by getting to listen to different kinds of singers and different tastes of music. I was rooting for toby (just because of the aussie factor i guess) but if any of the top 5 got it I would be happy for all 5 of em. All you bloody cunts talking shit bout how lukas is emo or Magni is boring, go get a life. If you knew anything about music you would appreciate the fact that all the top5 can perform (certainly better than all u whiners) and have different styles. Whether it was a set up or not SN picked what they thought was right for their band. It ain't bloody American Idol. It wasnt a contest of the best singer or th ebest performer. It was what they felt what was right for their band. Anyway YOU rawk Dave...always been a big fan. I know you dont get many fans in Asia.... but if the Panic Tour does tour in Asia trust me, I'll be there.

I just want to say to you Dave, your comments amaze me at how articulate you are and how you can laugh at everything that goes on here and everywhere..LOL..I went a little crazy yesterday arguing with someone on this blog that I don't even know....my bad..everyone has their own opinions and different ways of expressing themselves....we may not always like how they do it but that is not for me to judge...I just got caught up in the posts...Sorry Everybody if I pissed anyone off. I love this website, and really enjoy interacting with everyone, and reading everyones comments. Thanks Dave for putting something like this up. I love TPC, and actually got my stepson listening to your CD and he only listens to Heavy Heavy Hard Metal, and he really likes your stuff....so thanks for opening his mind a little. We watched Rockstar together all summer and he is 18, so that was a lot of time for him to be home and not running with his friends. Love to all the 6767 famiily, Love to TPC and especially Love, Hugs, Kisses and more to you Dave..........Bratty

KIWICHICK:

This is the REAL SUE. The original Sue. Dave can confirm that by the IP address. I did not write that you are an idiot--I don't even know you--

***DAVE***

I have avoided 6767.com for the majority of this bullshit, I thought we had it handled about the fucking assholes hijacking my (and others', such as Peeb's) name and email address. Now I'm really pissed--this just proves my goddamn point. I know that Loop said that we were doing the login thing in chat soon but maybe you should do it here too. I don't know what you can do but please do something or you're going to lose the people who were here from the beginning.

Love to you and my REAL 67 Fam,

Love,
Sue

So sad that Toby did'nt get the gig, he had me dancing in front of the box... I can't stop thinking though that someone's ego may have been a little threatened. Tommy was a bit of a tell when he joked about sending the girls all back to his dressing room. Camera pans to the judging panel, you included Dave, saw a few tight expressions when Toby was getting the audience adoration. So, it will be interesting to see how Lukas fits in the band, please give us a reality show documenting that, I would love to see how that is going to go, lol, the performances definitely won't be the best drama there...Good luck to them anyway.

Dave, Your story about the lady in the concentration camp really touched me. At least, I know you are not an idiot (not that I ever thought you were). All the hate and BS I am seeing is a sad comentary on who we Americans really are. It makes me want to puke. I wish you and all other participants in the RS: SN project continued success. ...

Dave - Thanks again 4 yet another awesome season!! and 4 givin the crazies and the obsessed with a forum to express themselves...lol...Everyone had a favorite cuz they were all extremley talented n their own special way ...but the right choice was made- LUKAS ROSSI HAD SO MUCH MORE TO OFFER THEN ALL THE REST !! and don't really Understand why its such a "shocker" to all the HATERS that he won !

Best wishes to SN, House Band, and Panic Channel. It was a good season. I will still drop by this site. :)

I thought it was really nice of Gilby to make that offer to Dilana, and your offer. I hope she makes it to the point she desires.

God bless everyone.

Just goes on and on and on... :)

Personally, there is something that doesn't seem right with Lukas, however GREAT PERFORMER great guy!

I enjoyed the entire show (drama and all) and I am not one for reality TV.
ALL of the artists were simply awesome! Just not all the right one for this ONE band.

It was great to see some new and fresh talent!
Hopefully they will ALL be out making music so we may have some new blood out in the music scene!

I can't wait!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks Dave! I enjoyed having an ecscape twice a week form daily routine... what to do now?!?!

Goodmorning Dave!

I worked the Journey/Def Leppard concert during the finale - that was on my schedule in the spring - but I had my phone on and had calls telling me who was eliminated, etc.... Like you say, it was there choice. I hope to hear more from Toby and Magni. But what I am really looking forward to is your site getting back to normal!

Always,
me

Congrats to Lukas and Supernova!

Dave - GREAT GREAT Season again. I hate reality shows, but love Rockstar. How can you not love a show that minimizes the drama and focuses on Rock and Roll?

If you do read this, can you please address this question? What is it about Lukas that captivates people? I don't get it. I see the talent, but I don't see the fit with this band. Even after hearing him sing again with them last night, he just doesn't sound right. It's hard to understand him and he's barely audible over the guitars and certainly Tommy's drums. I'm sure that'll be tweaked in the studio but it didn't sound right on stage. He sounds like one of the common whiny EMO-like bands that are out there today. Certainly not the rockin' band that Supernova lead us to believe that they were going to be nor the type of music they sound like they're trying to play. I'm guessing that Butch Walker wants them to be a band for now and not a band for all time? Just my thoughts.

As a musician I'd love to hear yours.

Back to normal.

But first, I have to agree that it was awesome of you to agree to play on Dilana's record when all this is over, and it was nice of Gilby to offer his services. It does seem like Dilana gets a whole lot of nothing for coming in second. I thought for sure another damn car would be thrown in or SOMETHING. I'll miss that gravely voice.

Guess we'll all just have to buy the album and help put her in a house in the hills. She'll have to buy her own damn car with the millions she makes.

Life can be SO unfair.

Congrats to Lukas, and can't wait to see RS next summer.

SN obviously needs song writing talent. Pukas may be a good song writer, who knows for sure though, because you can't understand anything he SPITS out!! Thanks for doing the real talent a favor by not picking them to perform the SHIT skunkboy had to growl through last night. Nice reality show, hope you made lots of $$, because the cd will bomb!! Thanks for the horrible staged performances with the obvious different look than the rest of the show. PATHETIC!! The Survivor advertisement gave it all away. Play your three cord bubble gum rock crap and enjoy your last gigs!!

I am so glad Lukas won. It gave such credence to the rest of the other singers, and their true talent. Having to play lead for Tommy Lee, Gilby and Jason - its the one band none of us want to see, and the rest of the performers on their own - we damn well want to see. The house band rocked. Dave Navarro you rock. Lukas do you realize your fame will be as compromised and short lived as the guy in the movie Rock Star? Rent it, watch it, live it. You have a great voice, but that weird, whiny thing that you do with it - stop it now. All of your runners up - Ryan, Patrice, Storm, Toby, and Dilana will have KILLER careers. Lukas - you may have won the show - but all the rest have won everyone's hearts and minds and will be the big sellers of this group. By the way Dave - thanks for bringing something worth watching to TV - my husband and I have consciously not had TV on in our house for 4 years, but this made it worth having back. All you rockers - ROCK ON!! ACL is the sh--!! See you there this weekend.

Of course Gilby wants to ride on Dilana's coat tails, because he sucks!! Never been on a released recording with Guns & Roses. Pathetic!! Don't do it Dilana, you're better than that, get some real band to back you up and do your song writing for ya!! Your a lot better off trust me.

You mention in your post (way up there somewhere) that Dave is a bad influence and lacks morals because of his lifestyle and looks etc. , and you are glad that he is "off t.v.".... allow me to assist you for a moment;
On your television remote, there are buttons that allow you to select channels for viewing. In future, when morally offended and threatened by something or someone you are seeing, merely pick up the remote and press the afore-mentioned buttons to find something more appropriate to your obviously stringent moral fibre.

Way to go art, lmao.

Was hoping that someone other than Lukas actually had a chance even though Tommy repeatedly made it clear Lukas was his choice from the beginning. I don't get it. I would have been happy with almost any of the rockers other than the mumbling, growling, screaming, angry, depressing Lukas with the repetitive tortuous moves on stage. So, you can watch this guy for 2 hours Dave? By the end I could barely endure 2 minutes of the pain. Dilana, Storm, Toby, Ryan, Phil and even the boring Magni with the great voice would have made for a great concert for me. I would have loved to see you and TPC and the fantastic House Band, but I now have to pass. Looking forward to CD's from the others.

Your know, I may be naive but I don't see "fixed" in every dark shadow I come across. Everything people are using to supposidly prove that it is "fixed" has other plausible explanations. Lukus on the Surviver ad? - he got the gig man - just like any other "endorsement" deal - he might just have had the image they wanted - didn't need to have anything to do with winning. Parts of the show looking taped? Hellooooo...the whole show is taped - a probably much longer than what we saw. Press photos? It is not unheard of that they tape FOUR different performance of a song(one of EACH contestant, take FOUR different press photos(one of each with the band), etc, etc and just editing in the ONE that ultimately wins the thing. It is done ALL the time.

And if it is fixed? Who cares. It was a blast to watch. Nobody HAS to vote. It is a choice. If you don't believe in it, don't do it. I predicted from the very first show that Lukus and Dilana where probably ultimately going to end up being the final two. But it was great watching the others perform and grow. And who lost out? Nobody. They got amazing prizes, amazing exposure and opportunities, they had great workshops, they had amazing exposure....did I say they had AMAZING exposure???? That in itself would be worth it in my books. "I" know who they are now - just someone way out in the sticks in Canada - know who they are now. Something I would never have known if they hadn't been on the show. They are internationally known now. I don't think you can put a price on that.

So, let it be. If it bothers people so much they don't need to waste their time watching. But I shall certainly look forward to seeing it next year. It's just great entertainment. That's all I want from it, that's all I get and that's enough.

I think Rachel from NYC has a twitching enter key! Wow

People should chill. Lucas is now in a band that was created for a tv show. TL, JN, & GC are all still doing their own solo projects & have booked commitments with those projects. They will put out the SN (or whatever name they are now) disc, tour for a bit next year and then this band is over.
The great part is the show is entertaining and hopefully gets some of these talented people a chance to do real work in the industry. I also hope they do another RS next year as its a great show for the summer.

Good post, Mazda!
Anyone paying attention for the segments where Supernova took the stage as a unit, would have noted that the film stock switched from "video" to "film". (Dilana, Toby, Lukas, Magni, Lukas again)
This was either intentional, because it looked cool, or an indication that those performances took a few attempts to nail... there was mention that Magni's SuperNova song took two tries to get right...(which may explain Gilby giving him the "chill vibe"?)
Either way, it isn't conclusive of "conspiracy".
Peace, fellow Canuck.

Not a Lukas fan, so actually I am glad he won. The egos in this band will implode within a few years anyway, so it won't be holding up the others rockers with their careers. As far as I care, SN had their winner picked weeks ago, but as the saying goes, the show MUST go on... Can't just cancel it and say, "oops we picked already, thanks anyway." I am however a bit PO'ed at having to read lies on this site. Dave you just had to say, "no comment," I'm sure CBS didn't force you to say "I don't know who the winner is...and, I know for a FACT that SN doesn't know who they are going to pick...blah, blah, blah" It was very obvious, by their TERRIBLE acting, right from the beginning of the show that they were VERY comfortable with the, already chosen, winner!! It belittles your actual fans, not just the groupies looking to "assist you with your cock!!", when you treat us like idiots and lie to us. Okay even if you did not know, SN knew who was winning and that was awful hard to ignore! So, I beg you, next season, if the House Band decides early who they want to win...just say "I have no comment."

Well whether you liked the band's pick or not... he will soon be one world-famous rich bitch and we'll still be sitting around living regular boring lives...

Don't like it... don't buy it... it is only just that simple.

Why do I think of a Boris Karloff movie when I hear Lukas sing? Scary. However, I will buy tickets if Supernova plays in NYC, but only if The Panic Channel performs too. Come play in my city Dave. Please.xoxoxoBoo

"assist you with your cock"... that's awesome.
(could by a lyric, no?)

Brian Birchall,

Mr. Birchall, I'm gonna light a special candle just for you... Can anyone get me some of this idiot's hair/ nail clippings?! Yes Brian, (actually I think you posted your name as Brain which is wonderful)we are all evil devil worshippers just waiting to get our hands on your kids to tattoo and pierce the bejesus outta them! Gotta go now, off to find a goat to kill in the name of Dave, our evil overlord... Debil Debil Kill Kill! Whatever...

Speaking of THE PANIC CHANNEL, how can such a strong cd have only sold something like 13,000 units!?
There is SO much garbage on the market, and here you have well crafted, beautifully played songs with a far-above-average singer... sweet guitar playing... the whole package... I just don't understand.
Get out there and fork it over, people!
I hope it isn't offensive that I didn't once mention _________________

Hi, Dave. I wasnt surprised to see Lukas win. I would have definitely liked to have seen Dilana, but I think Lukas will be great. After it was all over, my 12 year old, David, said, "Mom, you called Lukas from the beginning", lol, which was true, but I really supported Dilana! I don't know, I just think she would appeal to a broader "age" range, but, that's just my opinion. It was great to get "addicted" to the show and will be looking forward to next season! My 16 yr old asked me to get tickets right when the show was over, I gotta ck the Detroit show to see if there are any available! Take care!

Hi Dave,
I love Panic Channel music. But, because Lukas is fronting SN - I will not buy their CDS or see any concerts. I could not sit for 30 minutes and listen to his voice or watch him twist around the stage. Dilana is pure magic!

I disagree that we should support SN no matter who they choose. Here is why: they made their quest for a singer public. They will now face the consequences. We all have choices & the fans have the $$$$$ to spend. The only way I would buy tickets is if I knew if my favorite performers like Panic Channel and Dilana would be singing first and for more than 30 minutes. That way I could leave when SN comes on.

Sorry --- but I just can not torture my ears and eyes with the Lukas/SN scene. I'd rather have my teetch extracted.

Thanks for an intertaining season and for YOUR great music and for sharing a performer like Dilana ----
Love Ya

Well great show, I enjoyed it. I am looking forward to next year. I will be following the careers the Toby, Dilana, Mangi and even Storm. I not an EMO so I just cant get into Lucas. Sorry, SN is dead to me now. I hope whatever band is in next years rockstar will pick a better choice.

Hi Dave,
Although I've been reading throughout the show, this is my first post. Watching you twice a week is the main reason I keep tuning in. You're an amazing man with great talent and lots of sensitivity. Although I don't find SN to be a captivating band (they seriously need a lead guitar), I'm signed on for the Albany,NY gig so I can see you, your band and the house band. And it will be fun to catch a glimpse of the rockers who got the final axe. I can't say enough about you...See you in January! Love ya.

BLESSED BE Tammie... I nearly spilled my cup of baby's blood when I read your post, and it would have splashed all over my new copy of Anton LaVey's Satanic Bible!
I just caught sight of myself in the mirror, and I'm looking far too evil today... in Brian's honour I will snip off my waist length mane, shave away my frighteningly demonic beard, and renounce all that ROCKETH!!!
In the name of righteousness and Godliness,
DOWN WITH FUN!!!!!

Dave:
Thank you for an entertaining summer. Your blog made it even more enjoyable. I think that the guys would have been lucky to have any of the last 6.

When you talk to them next, thank them for all of us and wish them well.

See you next summer. (Maybe the lawyers can get some Jane's songs in the selection.)

Sue

Dave,

Let me thank you for this show. Your show has made me enjoy my life a little better. Thank you thank you thank you...

As for Brooke, goodluck to her. I bet the baby's gonna be rockin' as hell too.

LUKAS is awesome. He truly deserves it. He is a great musician, great singer, FANTASTIC performer. He was the 'right' fit. He was just the 'one'.

As for my true favorite, Dilana. I hope you help her with her career. There are a lot of us who want to hear more from her. She gave Lukas quite a fight didn't she? She is still amazing and she always will be. She may be second but she's my first.

As for the other rockers, I want to thank them too. They kept me entertained. They put up a great show, a great fight.

That's all Dave. Keep rockin' with the Panic Channel. I will be dropping by so don't you expect lesser posts from me. hahaha!

I can't wait for next summer. Bring us something new and fun again, ok? Mwah!!! Hugs...

-Belle

I think it would be a very bad idea for Dilana to take Dave and Gilby up on their offers- and it has nothing to do with their individual talents. This entire show has been about fitting performers into a particular niche- the Supernova rock singer cubbyhole. She has to let that go now, and make an album that is all about her. If she works with two of the people from the show, she will again have to fit herself into their preconceptions of who she has to be. She needs to be in control of the music she produces, and it won't be possible to do that with two of her judges working with her (especially when she didn't win the competition and is somehow lacking in their eyes). She would be patronized and would not feel that her judgement of how she should sound would be paramount, and it has to be in order to put out something that is all Dilana.

That being said, I'm sure she could find a better producer than Gilby Clarke to work with.

Dave,
Got an idea for a next season reality rock show:

"In Search of the NEXT HOMELESS ROCK STAR" - you could have a band living on the streets in Toronto singing with homeless people in search of the next Rock Star to front their band????
They could sing songs like "Mother,Mother".

Great idea??? What do you think?????

Well, I'm not digging Lukas, but I do hope the band does well. I won't buy their CDs, only because Lukas's voice just turns me off, and I really just can't listen to it - he is nails on a chalkboard to me, which I am sure some folks I like are to others. I can live with that. Tommy, Gilby, and Jason, I love you guys, and I wish you all continued success with Lukas.

On the other hand, I am definitely going to miss seeing the sexiest man in music on my TV a couple of nights a week (my husband, surprisingly, will not miss it). Dave, leather pants were invented for you, I swear it. Next season, more butt shots, okay? Brooke is cute, but not really my thing, you see...

I wasnt happy with Lukas as he was the worst of all the four. A sore dissapointement indeed but everyone knows that Lukas was pre-picked before the show. Shame really since it has discredited the show and all the ppl connected with it. Im most sad about Jason having his good name connected to this as I have high respect for him.

However since the show is over it is right to congratulate the winner and hope that all of the good singers will have the future they deserve.

ROCK STAR - SUPERHOMELESS!
Cool idea lenny... and the entire audience could be comprised of homeless people too. They could use a church, knock out a few dozen rows of pews (keeping with the EVIL theme here), take away the pulpit and build a stage with stained glass backlighting (they would have to augment the religious theme to suit the show) ... some of the Salvation Army and Seaton House street people would be allowed to bring in their cots, since some of them have lost toes to frostbite over the years...
I think even the musical instruments could be street oriented... supplied only through pawn shops etc. ... truly crappy equipment, so that the best person wins.
I wonder if the CBC would be interested in your idea?
RT

I can see why they chose Lukas- not my choice -but hey, it's also not my band, time or money that I have invested. Looking forward to the cd and the tour!
I have to say that I found this site b/c of RS but I love it and I think I will unpack my things and hang for awhile. Great show, great site. Peace!

I got an idea Dave. Next time you go take a healthy crap, record yourself doing it and put it on a cd and call it SuperNova!!

Just want to say thanks for the great show, Dave, I'm going to miss seeing you! Will keep checking in here to see what you're up to.
Though I was disappointed with the outcome, I enjoyed the ride...I'm sad to say that I won't be a Supernova fan now, but I do hope they have enough fans to make them successful.
The only problem I saw with the show was the voting process...I think people should only be allowed to vote one time. Seems more democratic that way...since Tommy said that the fans voting influenced their decision, it doesn't seem fair that people who have nothing better to do but sit there and vote and vote and vote had too much influence. Just my opinion!
Thanks again!

Dilana is the person you sleep with; Lukas is the one you marry.

Dave you are awesome! I loved your insightful, witty commentary here & on the show! Thanks for making this rock star season so much more unforgettable! Peace out.

I've watched the finale.
I heard a lot, but it hit me hard when Tommy told the audience that, "The person with the HIGHEST VOTES..."
Haler!!! Dilana has the highest votes and she's been consistent for that.
She was not even included for the bottom two.
She was the SAFEST among the three rockers.
I have highest respect for them but I felt disappointed...
Thank you Dave for producing the future DILANA ALBUM! I love you for that!!! ^_^
You ROCK!!! that was dope...

Dave, we never did see you in the Rossi Room for Lukas Lovers over at INXS.com.. but hey our boy won! The cool thing about that site is yeah, everyone was all over the place with their favourites, but the majority came in and congratulated the Lukas Lovers, many of whom are part of the Rossi Posse,(I freakin voted 7 hours straight for the guy) because they are basically music lovers and that was so cool and gratifying for us. So I hear you about the haters, there are some nastiness that has just gotta go, but they made the right choice!

Today's headline in the Entertainment section of the Globe & Mail (Canada's daily paper) had me laughing:

"Forget Oil. Our big exports is Rock Stars"

hahaha!!!

Hey Dave,
Thanks for bringing RS to us. What a great way to see new talent.
Thank you also for your insight and comments about the show
All of the final 4 are very talented and SN had to pick the one right for their band.

I will be watching for a new season & continuing to hang here. LOVE SRL
Peace

Interesting comment in today's paper:

'Wednesday, Lee said, “I realized he was the guy for us the very first day I met him.�'

It doesn't mean the show was rigged by any means, it just meant Lukas stood out above the rest....

dilana would have been the right one. lukas is ok but I think dilana was the one voice you would remember.
hope to hear her cd soon.

You know, I did find you because of Rock Star, however, I think I'd like to continue to hang around...

I have really enjoyed some of the music I have found through your site.

Lukas wasn't my choice, but I support the band as he is their choice.

Peace

"I freakin voted 7 hours straight for the guy"

Sorry, but that seems really sad to me.
So it would seem they picked the singer the obsessed fans wanted the most.
Most votes doesn't equal most popular.

And I couldn't make out a single word Lukas sang during the 2 original songs...

DEAR DAVE;
In your defense, and in the name of indignant outrage, I have done you the favour of posting a little comment on Janet Charlton's site.
I know you are a very busy man, and likely never read these comments, but in the event that you make it down this far, please go and enjoy what I have posted in your honour.
Respectfully,
Art Carcass

Dave,

Thanks for bringing real rock n' roll to primetime tv. It's a good thing my friend.

Lukas deserved to win because he IS right for the band. Everytime Supernova played with a new singer it sounded disjointed and wrong. Hearing Lukas sing the same 2 songs last night, suddenly they sounded like a real band. I went from thinking these guys have no idea what they are doing, to wow..I would buy that.

Also, forget Rolling Stone. They are 1/4 the magazine they were even 10 years ago and not even about the music anymore. It is 70% advertising 20% fluff and 10% actual content (yay, math). Thanks for being an inspiration.

I just don't see how a goth-boy like the Hamburglar fits into the "look" of the guys.
Jason is a better singer than skunky...hopefully he'll come to his sense and go back with Voivod before he loses all his rock credibility with this sham of a "band".
what a shame, such a waste of good talent behind the instruments.

EVS

Dave, You should learn how to spell Lucas' name since your gonna be on tour with him! ha! ha! What an amazing show, ride, finale, etc. I am thrilled with the choice and look forward to more of Lucas and the boys soon!
Peace from Dallas!
~Terra

I can't express to you how extremely disappointed I am at the final pick. Of the remaining 4 Lukas was my least favorite. In fact everytime he sang I ended up channel surfing half way thru his song cause I just couldn't stand listening or watching him anymore. I was so hoping it would have been Dilana or Toby....they were both captivating to listen to and watch. I wish the band good luck, I'm just bummed I won't be buying the cd.

Brian Birchall,
I know you're taking a lot of crap from our fellow post partners, but don't let it bug you. You have the right and the obligation to (gently)suggest change where you see a need. If others don't agree with you so be it. I personally think Dave is hot without a shirt, but I wouldn't take him to church with me dressed like that. Doesn't mean I hate him, just means that I like him the way he is in his world. Can't make him fit in mine if he doesn't want to. It's like Spread Radio Live. I can't listen to it with the kids home, so I miss most of the live shows. It doesn't sound "fresh" or "new" when someone is saying "fuck" over and over. But I like most of the music so I just turn it off when things get raunchy. What I'm saying is don't let it get to you, okay? Peace and love, Teresa

Let me start by offering a Canadian apology. I, too, am embarrassed that this troll, Pukas, is representing my country. Please don't hold it against us!

That said, I feel that SN made the best choice for them. Let's face it, these are 3 guys who are used to playing second-fiddle to their lead singers. I can see why they want to be the stars of the show now. Hiring a mediocre singer will enable the spotlight to remain on them.

Had they gone with Dilana, she would have outshone all of them, and become the superstar she is already on her way to being.

Personally, I will buy anything that Toby, Magni or Dilana put out. They were clearly the rockstars of this show.

Now...let me point out the obvious. Ms Janet Charlton was right - these guys already picked Pukas wayyyyyy ahead of time. Let's examine the evidence;

a) Lukas opened for Jason Newsted's last band. Obviously Jason liked what he heard (in that mediocre way) and had talked his pals into the goth-troll before the show even started.
b) The way Dilana was edited, to stop her from taking the highest number of votes.
c) Janet Charlton's TWO spoilers about Lukas already being picked.
d) INXS admitted, long after the show, that they knew JD was the one, when they saw him audition.

It isn't rocket science to figure out. Dave, honey, I don't think you're a liar, I simply don't think they told you....and of course they won't admit it, it ruins the entire premise of the show. If people realize this is already a done deal, they won't call in and vote. You don't need to be a marketing genius to figure out how that would affect the sponsors and ultimately, the ratings.

I suppose, at the end of the day, these guys feel they are doing the work of angels, by exposing young talent to the world. And that may be a valid reason to continue the show......but I tell you this, I will not vote again. There's simply no point.

Dave,

I really enjoyed the entire show.(Thanks for your part) I realize it's only a tv show so when Supernova picked Lucus it was just that good entertainment.(good luck Lucus with Supernova) What I got out of it was finding new artists who I really enjoy listening to. I found it much harder to find quality music these days. I guess I just getting older or just don't have the time I used to. I don't know if there will be a season 3 (as a fan of the show I would not mind) Thanks again and enjoy the tour this winter. Personally I looking foward to hearing from both Toby and Magni in the future.

Dave,
First off,I was sorta feeling guilty about the whole Janet Charlton thing because I'm pretty sure I was the one who initially brought it up on this blog- that's not to say you hadn't already heard about it. Anyway, I'm glad you are deriving some humor from the whole thing b/c that was my intention when I mentioned it. You mentioned lotto numbers, maybe you could ask her if she knows what the numbers on my favorite show, "Lost" REALLY mean and get back to me since you don't really need the money. Would you do that for me Dave? Pleeeaaasse? :)
I am not surprised that they chose Lukas - I felt from day one it was either going to be him or Dilana, but probably him. I don't think it was a bad choice at all, but I was rooting for Toby. He seemed to fit better with the type of music we'd heard from SN so far & in my opinion, Lukas would have been better off with a solo career - he is so unique that I think he would be successful with that. Either way, I am happy for him - it's always cool to see someone with talent who has nothing to hit the big time. He deserves it. Anyway, enough of that. I just hope you guys add an Atlanta date to the tour. I will stay tuned to your site for updates and so I can bask in your infinite wisdom. Seriously, I've always thought you seemed like a cool guy (I watched the show last year & have followed some of your music), but reading your blog this year has shown me your a really smart dude too. I have enjoyed the show & will miss it now that it's over, but I am stoked as hell I discovered your site & I plan on visiting from time to time. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and for caring about your fans. I have a lot of respect for you. You're awesome! Take care & enjoy your vacation. Hope to get to see you in ATL!
Cheryl

Honestly, who cares if Supernova knew who they wanted from the beginning or not. We all still indulged in the show and this blog. Lukas is awesome and I can't wait to see what he brings to the table.

So Dave, what is the next topic of discussion???

For Art Carcass, "assist you with your cock", was actually from Dave himself when he was joking about his new, young, female, assist with his manager on spread radio live...I thought it was cute too, that's why I used it. But you gotta admit there is alot of that BS on here to weed through. Don't get me wrong, I was a fan of Navarro, BEFORE the nipple rings, and still am. He is a true fan of music.... but I DO however feel alittle disrespected that we were told noone knew who would win, when it was pretty obvious they did. There is just NO WAY SN made it all the way to the last episode without some very strong thoughts of who they wanted.

You are right Dave, the band made the best choice for them. I don't agree, but good for them. The fans who are unhappy have a choice not to buy the product. I know how they feel, because I don't think I can sit through two hours of him either, but thats not my problem. For me it's easy, just don't go to the concert. No worries, I am sure I won't be missed (lol). But I will always like Tommy. He was kind to my Mom when she was alive, and she loved him. I do wish Toby the best and Dilana/Magni too. I think they will do great stuff on their own and to be honest, I don't think Toby or Magni would have done that well with Supernova's music. They have so much talent in what they DO do.. they will have no trouble. I will miss seeing you every week, Dave, you were great. Good luck with The Panic Channel and everything else you do. Grace

Ridiculous.......Lukas has no range, no stage presence, no charisma.........they call him a mix between Freddie Mercury(&$*%*$*#!#!@@WHAT!!!)and Jeff Buckley(are u high?????). He souds like Gollum from Lord of the Rings....my pretty!!!!

Anyway, this whole show was a joke......in the beginning we kept hearing .."bring the rock, bring the rock".......well, NO ONE brought the rock. PLAIN AND SIMPLE!!! How many R.E.M and Nirvana songs do we have to hear and how many times do we have to hear the same songs repeated by the so called "rockers"? This show was a sham.......what happened to the rock music from the 80' where the other members of Supernova(for now) came from.........didn't anyone think of playing a crue song, or Metallica, or G'N"R, or Janes Addiction, or Red Hot Chili Peppers.....or maybe AC/DC and Sabbath......Queen was represented...but let's sing We are the Champions....maybe it was a licensing issue, well then there have been a disclaimer before each show that said.....based on the fact we didn't have the money to purchase the rights to great songs this show will recycle the same crappy songs on a week to week basis and the show will suck. Also, the existing members of the band want to distance themselves from the music that made them what they are and what the fans associate them with...............Sold out shows.........huh what...where are the playing Bubs pub and grub..........the end of the line tavern???...........I may have bought this album if Tobe was chosen, he was the only true frontman in the competition.....Newsteads comments were basically...you're great!! you're great , but you're going home. Why did I watch everyweek,............I kept thinking Tommy Lee, Jason Newstead, Gilby Clarke,Dave Navarro...the show has to get better........but kept getting worse and worse and worse...........it felt like watching someone die a slow death.........lesson learned......last time I'll be duoed by these guys which will include not buying the CD or seeing them Live............too bad, cause I know Butch Walker is the producer and he's bad ass.......he at least had the integrity to get out of dodge after the first show..........the song he produced on Pete Yorns new album rocks...but anyway hopefully he comes to his senses and stays far far away from this trainwreck.

Hey Dave,

I'm sad the show is over only because I will miss watching Lukas perform every tuesday!! It's been a blast! I hope someday that the band will come to Halifax Nova Scotia Canada because I will buy a ticket and I will be there!!! I can't wait for their Cd!! I had Lukas picked since day one to win and I am thrilled for him that he got it because he wanted it badly!! I would have brought out the shampange if I wasn't so sick from my cold!! haha! Anyways I've never enjoyed a performer more than I've gotten to enjoy Lukas the past little while here and I will continue to support him!! If you read this comment and are talking to him tell him I say congrats and wish him all the best I'll be watching out for them to come here ( keeping my fingers crossed ;) ) and for the CD!! (Cant wait!!) Way to go Lukas "Can I get a HELL YA!!!?" Later

From Kristy
Halifax Nova Scotia Canada

I'm happy for Lukas, of the remaining contestants i believe he needed it the most in regards to his continued growth as a musician. It was a great show and a great ride. I was fortunate enough to see at least five new artists to follow. I hope they all move on to good things.

So time to move on.

see ya Dave.

Howdy,
Well I've shopped and shopped and couldn't find TPC...Lordy!! what a chore. Finally decided to say screw it and just download it, period. Obviously that is definately the best choice!
Really just wanted to check in today and see how everyone was doing....I see about the same..LOL. It's amazing the things that will keep people talkin'!! That Burnette man is on to something, eh? LOL
Peace

Great season, Dave! I'm glad Lukas won, but I can't stop thinking there might have been a different outcome if Dilana'd kept her mouth shut. I truly believe Ryan might have made it to the final four if Dilana hadn't told the world he dissed SN's songs.

And I'm bummed about Magni --- I think Magni's a star and I thought he was treated shabbily by SN.

You made both seasons of Rockstar great - you're the best and I hope to see Panic Channel if you make it to the southeast.

Hey C;
Thanks for the clarification. I've only just started checking out SRL and missed that. I admire Dave's playing, and thought Jane's was some of the freshest music ever at the time.
I always perceived Lukas as the frontrunner and there are substantial rumours within the inner circles of the business that it was his to lose, so I don't feel any personal slight. I can see why a Navarro fan would be a little pissed though, because he issued very specific rebuttals to the leak/rumour, and it appears that as an executive producer he would have known things early on.
That's all speculative, and I can't know what only Dave knows.
It's a cut-throat business, and he has to make a living too... can you sense his weariness with all of this though?
I would be surprised if he returned to co-host again next season, and if he WAS responsible for any leaked info, doubly surprised if he was invited back.
Final thought on the point you make; the whole thing was very sexist this year, playing into the character of Tommy I suppose.
Lots of t and a up front near the stage, Brooke and other women being called "baby", sexual innuendo flying around. At least Toby showed some skin for the female demographic.
Be well,
respectfully,
RT

I can't believe it is over! Congrats to my fellow Canadian Lucas - I am so very proud of him!
Dave - I would like to say thank you to you! I am sorry for the bullshit people have spewed. I guess this why most celebs don't have these kind of websites... but for the handfull off assholes there are so many more that appreciate you, your opinions and your site! I will still check this site daily to keep in touch. So good luck to The Panic Channel and of course to the complete band of Super Nova!
Take care and get some well deserved rest!
Kim

Does anyone read The Rockers blog's on RSSN website?????

EVERYONE in the final 6 did a photo shoot with the band....they all did a press release and album cover photo.....this is a quote from Lukas's blog in August.........
August 24
Next entry.

Hey wuz up. I’m glad I get to tell you guys what’s going on. We just did a photo shoot with Supernova for the album cover. Everyone did it individually with the band.

So everyone and their conspirasy theories need to settle down and think before they speak.
It was a competition and the BEST MAN won...period.

Art Carcass, I love reading your comments. The way you express yourself is great.....

I just wanted to tell Brian Birchell, I love Dave without a shirt and I would love hime to give me a new tattoo wherever he wanted, so yeah I guess I am corrupted. Oh Well, corruption never felt so good. LOL

And Maree from 6:16 am....Liquid Chocholate, that is PERFECT.....

Hey Dave,

I am kind of sad to see the show come to an end but glad this will open up a chance for more discussions here about music and the Panic Channel.

I will get SN talk out of the way. I am happy with the pick, I think it could of gone either way. I am kinda disgusted though by all the talk that they knew who they wanted all along and it's not a real contest. First of all, the band could of known who they wanted from the first show, but if that contestant doesn't bring it every week, then it could make them change their mind. Also, the other perfomers need to bring their game up if they want to compete with the perceived favourites (like Toby said, he was glad he could make it to the end with the two favourites - it made him pull up his game). I don't know too many job interviews that put you in that type of intense audition.

As for the rigged photographs, I don't know who would go to the trouble of doing that, but maybe the band took pictures with the final three/four so pictures would be ready. The world is full of examples of newspaper headlines determining which way an event goes.

The conspiracy theorists need to go back to other world events and stop ruining a summer of a plain old rock show!!!

Dave, I still respect you and all of your opinions and your music. Good luck on the road with TPC in October and with the SN gang in the New Year!

Just a little comment here and then I'll go back to work. You people who are bitching about all the conspiracy theories and how Dave was just a corporate slave are just ridiculous. It was a tv show and now it's a band. Who knows how long it will be around, but that's their choice. I think that Lukas (Yes, that's the correct spelling of his name) was a great pick and no I'm not a teenager with too much time on my hands. I'm a 37 year-old woman with a full-time job and I just happen to love music. (Not to mention the cute goths with lots of makeup like Lukas) If you doubt his talent, go to YouTube and do a search for Lukas Rossi. There are several videos with his former bands Cleavage and Rise Electric that show just how talented he is. As for Dave being a bad influence on anyone, give that a rest too. He's just a man who is living his life. If you don't like what he says then don't listen, don't like what he does then don't watch. That's the simple solution. Really can't wait to get back to normal here at 6767 and SRL. Dave, love you and the CD and hope to see you and the boys from TPC on tour and if you come back to DC or Baltimore with RS SN then I'm sure I'll check that out too. Love to the regulars and fans, tolerance to the haters and please don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out.

Dave,
I read a news article mentioning that Tommy Lee handed the keys of his mansion to LUKAS and Toby. TL also has arranged for Toby to cut a single of his original immediately. The article reported that Toby called his band in Australia and told them to get on a plane immediately!

So, what happens to the number 2 runner up, DILANA???? She doesn't even get a car or a have a place to live in L.A. Only YOU offered to help and Gilby offered to help write and produce her album??? Can you let us know what's happening to Dilana??? It just seems so unfair -- what an SN boys club.

Thank you, thank you Dave for bringing back Rock & Roll to the masses for the past months ---- and for helping female rockers. I just hope it all happens. Thank you

I am a 53-year old grandma and I thoroughly enjoyed the show this summer. The talent was unbelievable. Brooke is adorable and does a great job. I very much looked forward to Dave's opinions and must admit I agreed with everything he said. After all, he is the professional!

And the best post on this entire thread was.... drum roll please.... "Good show, Dave! *pinches ass*
Posted by: merrymagic at September 13, 2006 08:35 PM

Yeah Lukas go eh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Realized one thing I didn't address, and that was how impressive the whole SN crew was (the house band, Dave, Tommy Lee, Gilby, Jason). I didn't watch the first season because I just personally found it in poor taste using a TV/reality show-type forum to replace a singer who'd died tragically. But that's just me. Caught the first episode of this season quite by accident, right before Dilana's performance of Lithium. And that hooked me. What a VOICE! What intensity! Couldn't wait to see what she'd sing next. I think there are so few truly great female performers in today's world of mass, over-produced "Walmart-style" music that she stood out as a refreshing original. Someone worthy of listening to and watching. Amazing vocals, stage presence, ability to mesmerize a crowd. Watching her on stage reminded me of watching an animal in the wild as opposed to in a zoo -- so alive and exhilarated to be in its natural environment. The intense public criticism Dilana underwent after the media clinic screw-up amazed me. Why is it we humans think we alone have the right to screw up occasionally and say or do something hideously dumb yet be forgiven, but if anyone ELSE does, well, get out the nails so we can drive them into their palms. Enough already. Can we please let her off the cross already? I'm sure someone else could use the wood.

I also don't undertand the personal attacks by people against any of the individual performers. Is it just emotion because a particular favorite didn't win? That's human and understandable (even if hard to justify). Disappointment can make people say and do crazy things, and our reactions to music and to performers is so intensely personal. But unless you lived in the mansion with those people, know each of them individually, and were there for every minute of the day, from the clinics to the confessionals to the stuff that got edited OUT (Burnett is if nothing the king of the evil edit! lol), how can you trash the performers as people? Subjectively critique their performance, yeah, but to trash the person? Not cool.

Though I still think the band chose the wrong person, it *was* their choice in the end, and apparently Lukas was the one they all felt most comfortable with (or believe to be the most malleable). I respect their right to chose their singer. Just as I'll exercise my right as a consumer to NOT buy their album or see them play live . The real test remains, will all the enthusiasm translate into actual ongoing sales and longevity, after the novelty wears off? Music is a weird business today. We're in the world of Ashlee Simpson, not Led Zeppelin. We want to be instantly entertained, MTV style, and then instantly move on to the next thing, instead of longing for and demanding music that will resonate in us long after the house lights come back up.

I wish all the final four well. I hope they go on to have amazing careers. And I hope Dilana goes on to put out an amazing record that will blow people away and change the minds of some of the naysayers. About time our ears get exposed to more and more truly great female performers! :)

As for Dave et al.'s critiques week after week, they were terrific. Very insightful and thoughtful and heartfelt. I respect them for their honesty. Hopefully ALL the contestants will take some of that with them, learn from it, and go on to have their own succesful careers.

I've been enjoying both this site and the show for this season, I was hoping you would've asked Dilana to join you and your band! You two seem to fit. I agree with the idea that you don't need to agree to repect the band's desicion. After all, we aren't the ones up there preforming. After INXS, I went out and got Marty's new CD- I liked him best from last season. This season I agree with you- Dilana rocks, and nothing beats a lot of- oh, use your imagination. The both of you are great eye candy!

BRATTY - thanks, and likewise.
FAMINGO - nice, fluid and lucid post.
I totally enjoy each and every comment on this site, and every opinion is as valid as the next. It's cool to see the way that various people bridge the gap between thought and articulation.
Censorship of any kind is not acceptable. We should be able to look and sound the way we want to, especially in a society rife with "sameness" and mass production/consumption.
It's a challenge to be an individual, and to be unafraid of exclusion from the status quo.
The right blend of awareness, fairness, humour and vulgarity will take a person a long way in this life. I give Navarro props for being himself, doing what is necessary to get his gift out there, and for allowing so many of us to vent, gush, agree, fight...COMMUNICATE.
Peace,
it's been fun.

Concerning SN having a pretty good idea who they wanted from day one - when you go to buy a car don't you have a pretty good idea what kind you want before you start? - that doesn't mean you can't get converted to something else along the way once you see whats out there. When you go for a haircut don't you usually have a pretty good idea what you want? - that doesn't mean you can't see what they did for the girl next to you and decide you want to try that too. When you go to watch tv don't you usually have a pretty good idea about what you want to watch? - that doesn't mean that something else can't catch you fancy as you click through the channels. When you go to a concert of your fave performer don't you have a pretty good idea that they are going to be great cause that's why your going? - that doesn't mean that the warm-up band can't blow you away and end up being the stars of the night.

If a good majority of the viewers could see that Lukus and Dilana most probably would be the real contenders for the final - from the FIRST show - don't you think that SN might not have been able to see that too? - doesn't mean that someone else can't come along and blow them out of the water or that we and SN can't think someone else JUST MIGHT take it. And even IF he was the chosen one from day one - that doesn't mean that he was going to be able to keep that up throughout the entire time - what if(God forbid) something tragic had happened and he had had to withdraw from the show at round 3 or 4? The show ain't over until it's over.

And people baffle me - I understand that children and teens think the world revolves around them and what they think and say is gospel - but most mature adults understand that my thinking someone has no talent and is the worst singer in the world DOESN'T MAKE IT SO. It's all personal preference - it's all opinion - it is NOT fact. So there is really no reason for name calling just because you don't like someone. Our opinions only matter to us - cause everyone else has their own that matters to them. Its fun to converse and debate and find out what others think - but it doesn't make them wrong just because they don't agree with us(sorry for the rant - major pet peeve here).

Congrats to Lukas on becoming the frontman for Supernova! He was my favourite from the beginning. I never bothered voting, because I knew there were enough Lukatics and Rossi Posse members out there doing the job for me - so glad that they had a part in making this happen.

Whether the show was rigged or not makes no difference to me. I have a wide array of artists in my CD collection - everything from Elvis and the Beatles to the Killers and Fall Out Boy - rap, country, rock, punk...you name it, I've got it, and Lukas is one of the few artists over the past years to give me goosebumps. If the members of Supernova recognized that same feeling during the audition process and knew Luke was their man, then so be it. People like what they like, and we don't necessarily need a reason to feel the way we do - it's just the way it is!

Like somebody else already said, this summer brought everyone someone new to love on the music scene - if it wasn't Lukas, it was Dilana, or Storm, or Toby, or Ryan, or Magni. We should all appreciate the fact that we're now well aware of some amazing talents that many of us had never heard of before.

Perhaps the best thing about Rockstar was that it lead me to this site, and I'll continue to check in daily, even now that the "madness" is (almost) over. Thanks Dave for a great summer. And enjoy your much-deserved vacation!

People are writing who cares if it was fixed. I DO!!!!!! It's an integrity issue instead of pretending it was an actual compition they should have just said here are the 15 contestants who made it to the final round, can you guess which one it is. Not have people waste their time and in somw cases money on a fake voting process.

It amazes me how Lukas is able to generate such strong feelings of either love or hate. At least he's definitely NOT boring! That just goes to show how uniquely talented he is. I knew right from the first show it would be down to either Lukas or Dilana. They each have their own unique style and talent that makes them great performers. I don't believe in any of the conspiracy theories. I could spot Lukas' talent a mile away right from the get-go. His original stuff with Cleavage and Rise Electric are awesome! Dilana didn't have any song-writing ability whatsoever. Even Dilana fans have to admit that her lyrics were pretty bad for the professional level.

All the "haters" out there need to get a life and move on. If you don't like Lukas, then don't listen to his music and go see concerts and buy CDs of the artists you DO like. There are artists I don't like either, but I don't waste my time writing hate mail to them, I just don't buy their stuff.

To Dave, you're awesome for keeping this close connection with your fans and having an honest dialog with us (well, as honest as you can possibly be in the public eye). I definitely have a greater respect for you after watching this season's show. Can't wait to see you guys play in Toronto!

Well , I'm not surprised. Lukas was my pick before I even saw the first episode.

I just hope that next season, if there is one, the band has guys and girls, so there is actually a chance that a girl will win.

I KNEW last year that Jordis wouldn't win. And I'm glad she didn't.

And I don't think these guys really wouldn't want a girl either, especially after all if Dilana's emotional problems came out. She needs to learn how to handle criticism and how to DROP stuff when it's over.

Anyway, maybe next year someone will win who I can actually stand to listen to.

WAY TO GO LUKAS - Hurray for Canuck Power - I would also like to thank Dave for his insight during this process - well done Mr. Navarro!!!

ART CARCASS - Thanks for the post - Another clarification though, the BS I am speaking of weeding through is here, on this site, all the "dave I love you, dave let me come to vegas with you, dave take me away, blah, blah, blah - That crap. I know I was young once too and in love with every cute guy on stage - It just gets alittle weary to read though in order to read the real comments. OH Yes I see his weariness, answering to all this conspiracy bull shit...but I guess thats his job. Dave seems to be a pretty cool egg, and I never said anything to be negative of him personally. i do not know him to be personal. Just would have rather not been mislead as to what was, or was not known beforehand. I watched last season because, well it was INXS, and damn did I give a shit who fronted that band...this year I watched to see some kickass performances and was not disappointed..Next season, if what I heard on spread radio was right and follows thru... I will definately give a shit again!! So RT thanks again for not cracking the whip at me like people seem to do on here sometimes, I guess it just would have been really rad to see that Carlton chick be wrong!!! I never voted once on either season, not my cup of tea (or rather mug o' brew) but as a fan of music in general, the show rocks!! (Almost woke my daughter cranking up deep purple!!) Anyway, please don't anyone think I'm ragging at anyone for their posts...it is just an opinion. k?

Whatever... The only reason anyone I know watched this show (both rockers and fans) was Dilana. I think somewhere deep down you guys knew that. Anyone can dismiss "the haters" as bad sports, but isn't that how the show was designed -- to get people to engage in some sort 21st century tech-aided Roman bloodsport, with contestants vying for their musical careers? I mean, let's face it, Supernova's songs are not very memorable, and both Tommy Lee and Jason are well past their prime (every time Tommy played, I thought he was going to have a heart attack!). In truth, I was hoping Dilana wouldn't win because (if her career is handled properly) she is going to be huge. Anyone with any ears, eyes, or sense can see that. But Lukas????? I mean come on now. What was that decision based on? He can't sing, his performance is derivative and a poor imitation of Billy Idol meets Mick jagger and is a Vegas version of both, he is not very attractive and looks tiny on stage compared to the band. If Dilana was not going to front, Magni, Storm, or Toby would have been a much stronger choice. But, as I said, whatever. I think the band is quite appropriately named Supernova -- a phenomenon in which a lot of energy is generated before it explodes and becomes a dead star.

HANAN - agreed and well put

congrats to lucas!! although i was pulling for dilana, i am just as thrilled for lucas.. he is truly an amazingly unique and talented singer and performer..

and added bonus - i will get to see dilana at the show in dallas.. along with the BEST BAND in the world - the panic channel!!!

see y'all soon, dave!

Another great season - it was great for me and my son - we watched every show together! I'm amazed that like you Dave, he picked Lukas and Dilana after the first show! Not bad for a 14 year old aspiring Rockstar! He bought a Fender this summer, and that is what he did on his summer vacation - learned to play guitar. We will see you for Show #3 in Hollywood FL. It's been too many years since I saw you open for Iggy Pop in Nashville - 19 years? Wow.

THANKS C, for the extra clarification.
You make your points very well... a lot of good comments on here today, actually (Hanan etc.) ... so much food for thought I skipped lunch.
Looking forward to this site a month down the road. (I don't own a whip; if I cracked it I would only hit myself)
Music!

Just my take concerning Dilana being able to handle criticism and let it go when it's over - maybe she(and the rest of us) would have been able to if it hadn't been shown over and over and over and .... I couldn't believe it when everyone was saying it's time to move on and yet the show kept replaying it night after night.

What she said was no different and no worse than what pretty much every other contestant said about someone else in the mansion candids. Ryan telling Dana she shouldn't be there and sounded pop? I think there were also comments of Jill being b****y. How is any of that different than what Dilana did? The only difference is that she said it to the media ....but that doesn't matter because the show broadcasted it and everything everyone else said at the mansion INTERNATIONALLY.

There be an awful lot of pots calling the kettle black around here!

BOOYAH!

Lukas was the right choice! I am elated. He's truly amazing.

Can't wait for the tour!

Beth

NIce job this year Dave. Loved all your comments. I changed my mind this year several times as to who I thought was best for the band.

Didn't all of us see a moment of brilliance in someone throughout the season and think...I think he/she is the one.

I don't get why people think that Dave is any different than any of us. His feelings evolved over the course of the show just like anyone's would. And if you're the type of person who forms an opinion and sticks with it no matter what...like it would tax your brain too much to consider another one...you scare the fuck out of me anyway.

Frankly folks, I have a suspicion about some of the "haters" that visited here. Hiding behind a screen name, some just get a thrill over creating a stir. Probably sit back and jerk off at the same time...who knows.

As for Tommy Lee and Company, all the ragging on them is kind of sick. Whether you like their music or not, these guys are putting themselves out there. This could be good for them, but it's also a big risk. Hiding behind a screen name and spewing is not a risk at all...pretty easy actually.

I'm going to give SN the benefit of the doubt. I've got my tickets to the show and I'm sure it will be a hoot. At the very least an interesting ride...but I suspect it will be a lot of fun.

And isn't that what rock and roll is all about?

Love Ya Dave
Can't wait to see your sweet ass with TPC.

D

Great show.

Canada rocks.

Watched the show on Global in Winnipeg, and it was all fucked up. I watched it 2 hours later on a Seattle channel and it was the way it should have been.

Way to go Lukas... rock on

How can anyone truly like Sukass as a performer. His singing and stage presence made him look like a 15year old cumgarggling epileptic.

Lukas is a cum gargling 15 year old, epileptic, skunk-head, jerk-off from the Munsters!!! THANK YOU :)

Oh look...here's one of those I mentioned now.

Get off yet buddy?

D

ART CARCASS - thanks a bunch. Yeah, getting alittle hungry too. haha One thing is for sure, this season has definately been one hell of a ride!!!

Thats right I'm one of those. A hater. But I stick by opinions. Suckass will turn Supernova in to a road flare!!!!!

Hey Dave, It was a great season can't wait for the next (here's a hint - let's see some auditions for this show!). Really sad that Toby wasn't chosen but I can't say that's the last we hear of him or any of the others. But hey, are the guys going to release any statements about the band name? It really sucks but no matter what name they choose - I'm still looking forward to what the album sounds like. Lukas wasn't my first choice but let's see what he can do with it. I know last year tons of people were unsure of JD and INXS and it seems like it was a good fit.

Dave,
I am surprised that talent wasn´t chosen over the so-called "edge", but I´m glad that my favourite, Magni, is going on the tour with the Houseband, he is the best singer of the lot, and it doesn´t hurt that he is a great guiarplayer also.

One thing though, people have been questioning whether the show was actually rigged, and Lukas was the one from the beginning, whihch is totally unfari to all the other contestants. And however much you have tried to refute it on your webside, the rumour still persists. It must be difficult having such rumours going around when another Rock Star show seems to be in the making. If trust is missing, people won't jump on the train and watch the show.

Another thing, I wasn't surprised when you only offered Dilana help with her future record, as I recall, you offered Storm some assistance as well. Women, hell yeah! The male contestant obviously weren´t as attractive and never stood a chance.

Why couldn't the band go by "Rock Star Supernova"...
I believe it is stated they could alter the name by the addition of other words...

On another topic, "Hollywoodland" is a really good movie to see - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0427969/

My tickets are all worth it now that my baby won!

YES!!!!!!!!!!

Just a comment to C-. Well, you obviously don't know anybody like me, because I didn't watch this show for Dilana (although she was part of the reason). I watched this show primarily for the music and the artistic process, because we don't get to see much of that these days. Once I saw Lukas though, I tuned in every week to see what HE was going to do first and foremost. I became an instant fan, downloaded and still enjoy all of his previous music, and never believed for a minute he wouldn't win. He was the obvious choice in my mind, and apparently the majority of the voters' minds as well as the minds of the Band. Oh, not to mention, the minds of all of his co-competitors, who believed he was the best choice.

They all won, at least the last 5. And they all became friends for life.

It was an awesome show, and an awesome opportunity for these talented people.

I agree with you Justanotherhater. Luckass sucks!! Anyone who thinks different needs their hearing checked and probably their eyes also. What a loser!!! Kinda reminds me of a bad horror flick.

cumgarggling epileptic! LOL

Dilana reminds me of one of those troll dolls you put on the end of your pencil eraser and give a good spin, but at least she could sing.

CENTRIFUGAL - I am alittle confused by your comments to me. I think you got your names muffed up and you are referring to the "hater" post under me. I agree that I watch for the "artisic process" also, and although I am not a Lukas fan, I haven't said a bad word about him. As for Dilana, she is very talented, alittle scary sometimes, but what a voice. I had many favorites and I wish them all the best. Please clarify your comments if they were for me, or speak them again to whom they were intended - thanks

I am going to get right to the point.

Lukas sucks and he cannot sing.

He is perfect for Supernova.

Well, one thing I noticed about 5-10 min. before they announced Lukas the winner, was that there was a commercial for Survivor, and they showed Lukas singing "Head Spin" - none of the other contestants. If I hadn't already read the winner on this site, that would have clued me in it was him.

However, it was fun to watch, to see Tommy's antics, to see Dave (yum!!) and I'd bet that at least Dilana, Magni, Ryan, Storm and Toby will do just fine.

To Kristy - U can't possibly be as dumb as u sound !! Are u blond ?? lol - Listen the VOTES didn't matter either way - IT WAS ALL UP TO SN and its always been up to them !! SO STOP UR FUCKIN WINNIN and move on with your life !! This goes 4 all the idiots out there as well!! Jealousy is the root of all EVIL !! The show is over now so go find someone else to hate on !! LUKAS ROSSI ROCKSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!

Lukas baby - Call me sometime - Sure to make ur Headspin papi !! ;-) Dave - that goes 4 u too !!

Rachel ....xxxxxxxx0000000000

All Dilana fans, here's the amazon link to her CD, I will get it ASAP!

http://www.amazon.com/Wonderfool-Dilana-Smith/dp/B0002NB3PG/sr=8-9/qid=1158256214/ref=sr_1_9/104-0276581-6907909?ie=UTF8&s=music

Dave, thanks for your appearance in this show, it would not have been the same without you!

Dave--I discovered this blog yesterday and have enjoyed going back and reading all your thoughts on the show, Panic Channel, etc. Thank you for offering honest insight and solid commentary. You handle even the conspiracy theorists with good humor and grace. I contend that it is rare to find someone in your position who is not only articulate, but also dedicated to keeping fans informed.

As for Supernova, I am definitely looking forward to the album and tour and support the selection of Lukas Rossi as the frontman. Seeing Supernova and Panic Channel in one night is sure to be amazing. Is there a possibility of adding a Louisville and/or Nashville show?

Hey Dave

some of the comments on your sight are a tad wierd. A bunch of guys calling Lukas a 15 year old cum garggling epileptic. Just a word to those who post these comments. It takes one to know one. The truth be told

Ryan Star had the best performance from both seasons by far when he sang Losing My Religion. Way out of StuperNova's leauge. Stay behind the piano Ryan, you're a true star!!

Lukas entices your eyes and ears. Lukas Rossi blesses your skin with goosebumps if you are lucky enough to see him live.

For all the haters why don't you wait to hear the cd before you say you hate it! Pretty closed minded don't you think! To hate something you have never heard or criticize a show you have never seen!

rob sounds like you are trying to get a date!!!!!! Did my post turn you on big boy? rachel didn't you mean to type suckass ppppppoooooossssssseeeeeerrrrrr!!!

Dave, Thanx for sharing your space and giving your fans so much time. Look forward to seeing you in Iowa, February 2007. Should be a fun show. Now you can kick back a bit and start easy doesing it. Namaste.

Well, I enjoyed the finale. I like the way the cuts were made - enough hand holding already. I wish I had read Dave's blog first though. I was so worried that the wrong person would win, and that Dave would throw himself on the floor and start making fun of the physical features of the winning contestant and scream "Fuck" over and over again. Art Carcass, why did you have to make me go to Janet's site. That was so scary.

Dave. Will you be interviewing Dilana?

What do you mean wait for the cd to come out. I've given the last two and a half months of my life listening to the garggler bottom line a turd will always be a turd.

I'm glad Lukas won. He and Supernova deserve each other. He can't sing, they can't write. It’s a match made Heaven. Oops, I mean in the giant corporate world of Rock and Roll. Guys like Kurt Cobain are rolling over in their graves. I was always told that "If you don't have anything nice to say don't say anything at all", but fuck that shit. So now that the show is over its time to take it out on tour. I wonder if they will get Brook Burke to introduce the performances? As much as I like Dave and Dilana, this is one show I will definitely not see. I have lost respect for Jason and Tommy as well. They seem like all right guys, but after this show, they seem more like corporate Rock Posers who can't even get a 'Loaded' audience to show some real enthusiasm. But what do I know; I'm just a fan.

Hi Dave,

Sorry, just wanted to say I think they made the wrong choice. The thing is...I can't understand a word of what Lucas is singing, except for one word...headspin. And I'm sorry, but watching him move on stage, makes me want to puke. Have tickets for the Vegas show, can't wait to see The Panic Channel and the House Band with the other Rockers, but don't think I'll hang out to watch the Skunk Boy and his band.
Love ya Dave! Just don't like Skunk Boy.

I agree Nights. What you see on TV and what someone can give you at a live performance is totally different feeling and besides all musicians sound better in there studio recordings. Look if you just have to hate him that's fine makes no difference to me. I will enjoy the music and the shows just the same. I just don't understand the hate I personally do not like Cellne Dion but I do not go around bashing her. I'm sure she is a nice lady with lots of wonderful fans just not my taste.

Hey Dave I've got another idea!! Why don't you just record a terd flushing down the toilet, wipe your ass on a cd, and call it Poopernova!!

While I initially wanted Dilana to win, I liked Lukas too, and as time went by I enjoyed Lukas more & Dilana less. I think Toby,Magni,Dilana,and Ryan all have bright futures ahead of them in the music industry if they strike while still hot. Lukas is current with today's music and has that "it" quality as a performer.I'm 36 yrs. old and Lukas' music moves me with his expression and the way he loses himself in the music. While he may mumble at times if you listen to any of his past music he's very clear. Until next year! Thanks for having this forum for us Dave.

"Just a little comment here and then I'll go back to work."

Famingo:

What a well-crafted, lucid, sensible and well thought out post. What the hell are you doing on here? ;^)

"How can anyone truly like Sukass as a performer. His singing and stage presence made him look like a 15year old cumgarggling epileptic."

justanotherhater:

Yeah, you are right but he is my kind of 15 yr. old cumgarggling epileptic. *eep, pervy thoughts are creeping in* Oooo, thanks!!

And to all you guys who say that Supernova sucks and you are glad your favourite didn't win:

Why did you want them to win in the first place then? Why all the sour vitaceae?

I know I'm old and my brain cells are fried from all the hallucinatory explorations I did when I was younger so I get confused easily but this one really stumps me.

And Dave, come back soon. I'm hopeing they will add a second Toronto show so that I can see you and everyone else.

And btw, I always knew you were a bad influence on my kids...why do you think I love you so much?

Lucas was born great!
He is a well deserving, hard working cool cat.
He will grow with Super Nova and bring everyone great success. He was truely the most consistent singer and performer, always giving 200% of himself. His best songs to date; Headspin, Creep, and last night's perfomance. Good Luck Little Big Man! You will succeed! You are the Rocker I wanted..

Well guess we'll have to see how long supernova can actually make it with Lukas as singer.

DeLurking to make an observation. I think it's rather amusing that while you are explaining why you don't understand people getting angry and upset you give an excellent synopsis of why they ARE are stirred up. You said "I guess I look at artists that bring my life joy and entertainment, whether I know them or not, as friends to an extent." I think many people felt that way about the hamsters but not necessarily about Super ... um ... The Band. They didn't get attached to The Band or like their music. Sure, the premise of the show was about auditioning for their band, but for the audience it was just another MB reality show with better hamsters and music. In most people's minds the show (providing the joy and entertainment)is an entirely different animal than The Band (existing to provide a prize for the beloved hamster). This dichotomy allows people to love the show and dislike The Band.
So, people feel they are supporting their "friend-to-an-extent" in something they really want. The Band denying their "FTAE" the prize and, additionally, lowering the chance they will have the pleasure of seeing and hearing said "FTAE" in the long term riles people up. Add in the interaction provided by the voting and people get emotionally involved. If it makes you feel better, people are venting here because they know you actually read all this and they are therefore heard and that makes them feel better. You are providing a public service and I think that's very kind of you.
Thanks for the space and good luck with your tour.

Phantimm glad my comparison to him being a15 year old cumgarggling epileptic brought you so much joy. After all it is my goal in life to make you happy.

Not exited about their choice, but whatev. I'm going to the Orlando show to check out TPC and see your sexy ass!

I forgot (how could I forget) to add Storm to having a huge music career . Storm is wonderful!!

What is such a major let down is the fact that great talents were used as puppets to make money and ratings. Tommy Lee and the others were paid big bucks to go through this entire charade and the excuse is always made that oh these rockers were given a chance to showcase their talents to the world. What the fuckkk? Almost all of the contestants came into this stupid show with well established music careers and credibility to be ripped apart and criticized in front of the world and told they weren't GOOD ENOUGH. You gotta go to the BACK of the audience and interact with people. You gotta get the crowd PUMPED and singing along. You gotta sing so we can UNDERSTAND you. You gotta run around on stage and wear yourself out while you sing. You gotta make the songs happy and fun. We're looking for FUN music. This is gonna be a different kind of band, more retro rock arena style. OK? So all of the rockers tried to meet Suave Porn's agenda and become what the hell they wanted in a front person all for nothing man! Only the emo dude they picked in the first audition was the one who didn't have to do any of the stuff they said they were lookin for and what do they do? They get rid of the talents and pick the emo dude with the goth look and no talent. HUH??? They shoulda been straight up with the others or at least told em hey your gonna be gone but we need to use ya for a while. Or hey hey ho we're lookin for a punk dude to make our pop songs sound "edgy". Ha ha ha. Ho ho ho. Conspiracies aside this band, the whole stupid show idea and the ripoff factor is a farse.

preach on brother izzy preach on!!!!!!

Anyone else walk away from the show feeling less than excited?

There isn't anything about SN that fires me up. The music is okay. Lukas is okay. But with big performers like Tommy, Jason and Gilby, I expected more.

RS: INXS was spectacular and I couldn't wait to buy the CD and see them live. I am a fan of all the bands that are represented by SN and hoped for the next big thing. Don't think this is it guys. Not impressed with the lead or the music revealed so far.

I really wish I could be more positive. It sucks to be disappointed.

Hey Dave! Thanks so much for including a photo of Lukas with the band!! I //heart Lukas! I //heart Dave Navarro! I //heart Mark Burnett!!
Great season!!
We got to hear some great music this summer!!
There was plenty of drama too!
Have a great tour!
Becks, Ledyard, CT

The song should go........"With a hey hey hey, and a ho ho ho, you're wasting your precious time watching this shame of a show"

Dave go ahead and keep acting like janet just took a guess that was a good come back with the lotto tickets. But you see you may fool some but you don't fool many.

JANET CHARLTON SAID THAT YOU TOLD YOU LATE NIGHT HOST BUDDY, HOW IS THAT A GUESS AND I DON'T SEE OR HEAR HIM TELLING ANYONE THAT IT'S NOT TRUE.

JANET'S RECENT POST STATES THAT PICTURES ETC. WHERE ALREADY TAKEN PRIOR TO THE FINALE SHOW WELL I KNOW YOU GUYS ARE REAL GOOD AND ALL BUT THERE IS NO WAY YOU CAN HAVE A COMMERCIAL MADE IN A COUPLE MINUTES, LIKE THE ONE OF LUKAS LAST NIGHT. AND WHAT A ACT YOU GUYS WHERE TELLING BROOKE TO GO TO COMMERCIAL THAT YOU NEEDED MORE TIME TO DECIDE DO WE HAVE ASSHOLE WRITTEN ON OUR FAR HEADS.

LETS GO BACK TO THE WEBSITE OF LUKAS WWW.LUKAS-ROSSI.COM WELL YOUR BLOG GROUPIES SAID THAT WAS A NOTHING WEBSITE I WILL ARGUE THAT SINCE YOU COULD BUY TICKETS FOR THE CONCERT ON THE SITE.

LETS TALK ABOUT PICTURES ON TOMMY'S WEB SITE 80% OF THEM WHERE OF LUKAS.

AND HOW ABOUT THE FACT THAT THIS IS YOUR SHOW, YOUR BUSINESS IS LOCATED IN CANADA. JD WAS FROM CANADA AND NOW LUKAS FROM CANADA.

IT WAS ALL A GOOD BUSINESS MOVE FOR YOUR BUSINESS AND SUPERNOVA A GREAT WHY TO ADVERTISE YOURSELVES.

BUT THE TRUTH IS YOU DID KNOW WHO YOU WHERE GOING TO PICK AND RIGHTFULLY SO IT IS YOUR SHOW AND IT IS THEIR BAND. BUT YOU DID NOT HAVE TO LIE TO US AND TELL US THAT WE SHOULD VOTE LIKE IDIOTS, AND MOST OF ALL SPEND MONEY TEXT MESSAGING OUR VOTES FROM VERIZON CELL PHONES. YOU GUYS ARE LOADED WITH MONEY, WHY WOULD YOU MAKE FANS SPEND THEIR MONEY VOTEING WHEN IT WAS NOT NEEDED. I THINK THAT IS WHY PEOPLE ARE REALLY PISSED.

YES WE ALL HAD OUR FAVORITES AND WHERE UPSET THAT THEY DID NOT WIN, BUT WOULD HAVE PROBABLY STILL GONE TO SEE THE CONCERTS. BUT WITH THE LIES THAT WHERE TOLD I THINK YOU HAVE LOST WAY MORE FANS THEN THERE ARE LUKAS FANS. BECAUSE HE MUST NOT HAVE THAT MANY IF HE WAS IN THE BOTTOM THREE LAST NIGHT UNLESS THAT WAS A LIE TOO.

BOTTOM LINE THIS WAS NOT A SINGING CONTEST BECAUSE LUKAS WOULD NOT HAVE WON. IT WAS A SHAMELESS PROMOTIONAL MONEY MAKING SCAM. AND A WASTE OF YOUR FANS MONEY. NOT COOL AT ALL.

SO DO NOT COMPARE US THE NON LUKAS FANS TO YOU NOT LIKEING A SONG THAT ROBERT PLANT DID QUOTE THE "TALL COOL ONE" THE DIFFERENCE IS THAT ROBERT PLANT DID NOT LIE AND DECIEVE HIS FANS. THAT IS WHAT YOU AND SUPERNOVA DID. AND YOU NOW HAVE A PROMOTIONAL SCAM THAT HAS BACKEDFIRED ON YOU.

SO I HOPE THE LUKAS FANS WILL CARRY YOU AND SUPERNOVA, BUT I HIGHLY DOUBT IT. A LESSON TO BE LEARNED DON'T EVER FUCK WITH YOUR FANS HEADS WE ARE WHAT MAKES YOU.

For me It truly does show which project Tommy cares about. The correct one. A band. They used this format, being friends of dave navarro's I am sure he didn't have to do much talking to convince them to do the show.

For the band, imho, the show was not about good reality tv. It was about a new band a new lead singer. Most of the critiques I've read about the poor final show involve them wanting more reality tv hook and were left unsatisfied. I highly doubt anyone in SN gives a flying you know what. The show did it's job and it's over. I could taste the collective sigh's of relief from all sn members and their new lead singer that they were no longer in the fishbowl. Some people don't agree with the new lead singer. Who actually cares what they think? Last time I checked rock and roll was not about being an agreeable collective mentality. In fact being the opposite of that is exactly what rock and roll is all about.

Bad critics are good critics. When the focus is on you and your band it doesn't actually matter if the critique is good or bad. The very fact so much attention and critique is being supplied towards sn is a huge compliment on their star power. Tommy Lee was obviously enjoying himself immensely when Lukas stood up to do "Be yourself". I am pretty sure at the end of the day that is all that really matters. The band as a whole is happy with their decision and will stand by their new lead.

So, people will bitch and moan, personally I think they should get a life but if they wish to focus their dislike on a new rock band more power to them. They are more likely to please sn by doing so they anything else. I hate wrestling but it's funny how much this show reminded me of it. Wrestling is as fake as it gets and yet look how many people watch that pile of male soap opera garbage. Rock stars was a show. Like it or not it surpassed what it set out to do. 90 percent of the crap I hear on the radio, when i actually bother to listen to it, is just that. Complete formulaic crap. By comparison Supernova is brave and not lacking a large set of balls. Feel free to insert your opinion here I just think anyone that focuses on the negative so vehemently and for so long must be a very unpleasant person to know. Some of the crap I've heard on these forums and in reviews has reminded me of the kind of retarded viewpoints that fuelled rock music in the beginning. Hell, My grandmother has been saying rock music sounds like screaming cats for 50 years. I've heard for instance Lukas referred to as a toad, a troll, a frog, hamburglar, a man with a vagina, a transvestite etc etc etc.

The more shocking thing is the generation this hatred appears to be coming form is the latest one. I thought the world was progressing away from such xenophobic viewpoints. Apparently not. I think that when Tommy Lee was hiding in the music room with his drum kit so he could avoid being beat up for being different that he relates to Lukas more then anyone can imagine. Remember the bully jock type in high school? There's your source of Lukas bashers mentaility right there. If anything Tommy would have chosen Lukas solely because of the stupidity directed towards lukas. Thanks Tommy, for waking up this american idol generation. I love how the song be yourself is 4 guys making complete fun of themselves. How lukas purposefully spews out complete unitelligible dribble at the end of the song while smirking. This crap has all been done before but apparently it needs to be done again. The kind of crap I've seen from a young generation over this show and lukas has me convinced of that. Time to stop taking that path most followed and following in line like a good little hamster. Shake these foundations and tear down these walls people love to sorround themselves with.

The kind of crap I see people spewing reminds me of Pink Floyd the wall where "Pink" [the character] wants to put the freaks up against the wall, single them out and bash their heads in. I love the message Sn sends with this choice. Rock on brother. Lukas is a large book cover. It's so obvious how the judgemental bashers were played this season. It really just shows there is a lot of dim bulbs that need brightening. If one person in the world gained an ounce of enlightenment from this show it's been a great success. Again, Rock on Tommy and thanks for capturing the rock and roll spirit again for a new generation.

Why all the hate?
I love the show regardless of the outcome...Last year I wanted Marty Casey to win...I was bummed that JD won...but I went and checked them out in concert and left a HUGE JD fan!!
Once I saw them together it was easier to see that they made the right choice!
Evs!
Becks

izzy,

ALL of these contestants were WELL AWARE that they were signing on for a REALITY SHOW with a CHANCE of becoming the front person for the boys. Sheesh, it was only for one album and a tour, but they did all sign waivers anyway, right?

Plus they were getting paid somewhere along the lines of a grand a week if any of the inside leaks can be believed, PLUS the gifts, guitars, wardrobe, cars, plus who knows what else and don't forget, FREE PUBLICITY. I'd say that for most of them, that was a dream come true and one each and EVERY one of them was willing to take.

As another poster said further up, just because SN had their favourites early doesn't mean they couldn't change their minds if someone came out of the woodwork and blew them out of their pods.

I was torn between Dilana and Lukas from the start but while I started to get bored with Dilana and her routine, I found myself tuning in each time just waiting to see and hear Lukas.

That doesn't mean I didn't appreciate all the different talents many of the contestants brought to the show, I loved Storm with Ladylike and Magni was actually my second choice then Dilana, but wasn't all that impressed with Ryan's or Toby's, it just means that I PREFERRED the same person that Tommy, Gilby and Jason chose. I don't like twangy country either, so string me up and drag me behind a herd of wild horses too, lol.

Woohoo! Let's all hear it for squeaky Canadian oompa-loompas!

On a more serious note, Dilana and Lukas seemed to be Tommy's and Gilby's anointed ones from the beginning. I guess they chose half-hearted over self-destructive. No surprise that Lukas took it for me...though I have to wonder if Jason is thrilled with the outcome.

Thanks for the updates on the Rockstar season. Just want you to know that I'll be seeing you in Loveland, Colorado on February 13. I've already got my tickets, on the floor, of course, and am ready to go. TLee and company are not what I'm going to see. I can't seem to see them as a serious band with future ambitions, but more of a publicity stunt.

Congratulations to Lukas. Our little posting group during the show nicknamed him "Elmo" - cute, cuddly, a little hard to understand sometimes and occasionally a little annoying - but you still have to love the guy.

Dilana is still my favorite and I'm so excited to see her in concert. Is Magni going on tour, too? I hope so. I can't believe I got so attached to the rockers and plan on being fans of theirs for a long, long time.

scott laughed my ass off at the poopernova post. That was classic!!!!!

hello to all of you 6767 freaks!

final show just finished here in Israel and what i can say.... The best man won!

just to hear Lukas rocks the songs that already sung by Toby and Magni along with SN and it made my wonder.. did Dilana, Toby or Magni could do better "it's on"? I say ... HELL NO!

ohh.. and good thing SN didn't do that creapy song they did with Dilana. my advice.. forget about that one and never mention it again.

Justanotherhater, you are so right, once a terd...always a terd!! And Rob, it sound to me like you are in denial, you are a peter puffer, right?

I don't know why so many people give a fuck if the winner is predetermined. I thought from day one, as i'm sure the band did too, that Lukas would bring it home.
Within a darkened sky, a star is always obvious!

And not too hard on the eyes!

I agree with you Dave. For me it was always Lukas or Dilana from the very begining. I think that most fans don't understand that professional musicians can spot their talented peers with their eyes closed.

I am sure that the band had narrowed their choice to two or three contestants from the very first audition.

I am extremely happy for Lukas he is a great talent. I know that Dilana will also go far.

When all is said and done, this band just won't
last very long. This is a side project for Tommy,
and we've seen how all of his side projects have
worked out so far. The whole concept for this band was for this show...not for a real band.
Tommy himself told TV Guide that Mark approached him with the idea...it really wasn't like
Tommy had created this band and was starting a
search for a singer when Mark found out about it and put them on this show. It was pretty much
180 degrees from that. At the end of the day,
Lukas just won't be the best fit for this band.
Toby would have been better as he could have
been molded by the band, and brought in chick
fans. Lukas seems to already have this idea of
who and what he's about...and I just don't see the
fit to the rest of the band. Also, it's a pretty
bad sign to lose the use of your band's name the
day before naming the lead singer.

Dave,
Next year PLEASE try to get Van Halen or Alice In
Chains...or any prior band without a lead singer.
Eddie was just on your bud Howard Stern's show
and mentioned that his son, Wolfgang will probably
be the new bass player...and he can sing. Michael
Anthony played bass and sang the high pitched
back ups, so it looks like he's out. Maybe they would do the show if you went to them. AIC is
touring with "fill ins" and maybe you could
convince Jerry to give it a try.
Fuel also seems to be looking for a new singer,
and they've only been around a few years, so
they seem to be pretty open (especially since they
made an offer to the guy from American Idol.)
Please...no more pre-fab supergroups. Damnocracy
did it first, and actually sounds better than
whatever name SN will have to go by now.

You did a great job, Dave...just maybe hold back
on the "best performance in 2 years" kind of
stuff. While it may be how you feel, it comes
off looking like you're shilling for the man.
Good luck with Panic Channel...and seriously,
give Perry a call and at least mend some fences.

Izzy, what's hap'nin?
We already have ONE unwatchable piece of shit of a show called "Canadian Idol".... please don't give anyone ideas like that... I'll have to pack and move, fuckin' pronto!
Cheers,

That was right on the money Justanotherhater!! I laughed my ass off on the chicken bit, great stuff man. I think more people need to join the darkside and quit writing these novals that they are posting that nobody gives a shit about!! Boring zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

I must say that I am a Canadian who DIDN'T vote for Lukas-I just preferred Dilana over him musically, that is all. I can't say that Lukas is a bad choice for the band-I guess in the end we have to applaud those who dare to be different and edgy, and don't copy someone else. If you think about it, Lukas and Dilana were the only physically different looking people-but they KNEW who they were and never lost their edge.

In the end...instead of fighting over who is better, I am choosing to look at it this way-Dilana was the winning female contestant and Lukas was the winning male contestant. I am positive that each in their own right will either choose to USE that to get bigger, or lose it and never be heard of again. Both of them got amazing exposure on the show, and even though one man made it to the final spot-that doesn't mean Dilana really lost anything.

In the end the audience is the real winner...we got to see ALL this amazing talent on the show and be entertained all summer long. These artists bring ROCK and ROLL back on the scene-so in the end, their job is done.

Now it will be up to us to go out there and support who we loved the most from the show.

And a final note..can we PLEASE get the whole concert tour out in Calgary????? Stop with just the main cities, the Western cities want some Rockstartoo!! haha

Cheers!

dave... i'll miss seeing your gorgeous face twice a week! but at least i'll see it from 6th row at the fox in detroit in february! i can't wait... as for lukas winning, YAY-YEAH!!!! everyone at work thought i was nuts when i called that on day one of the show, and i'm soooooo happy for him and the guys.

Well, we have a couple of hundred posts later, and still most of you still don't get it which brings me to another question. First of all, you ALL must realize that this was NEVER a contest. It was NEVER a competition. This was a TV SHOW! A well scripted, planned out TV show. There were so many ironies and inconsistencies that should have given even the most brain dead among you a clue.(i.e.' Tommy saying that Magni's original wasn't that memorable as if their own songs were :-) For the record, Magni's signature riff still rings in my head. (Musicians will know what I'm talking about) Also, has anyone else noticed that as of late, Jason has had that "What the Hell did I get myself into?" look as of late?

My main question is to those rabid Skunk Boy and Dilana fans and haters is: "Are your lives so empty and devoid of any meaning that you so attached yourself to something as superficial as people like that on a reality show that gives any meaning or substance to your own lives?" To those of you that said "you live for Skunk Boy or any of the other singers", what does that say about your own lives? I wonder how many of you have actually built a shrine to Skunk Boy or others in your own home.

I myself really enjoyed watching the shows and surfing the blogs, but to see RS SN give so many a new meaning to life just perplexes me. Maybe a lot of you should really get a life, but that may be a little too mean spirited.

What becomes of your lives by this time next March when Supernova becomes a faint memory?

sounds like izzy is on the darkside too, as well as art carcass. the darkside is the strongest side!!!!!

Dave,

I gotta say, man. I gained more and more respect for you as a "man of rock", and not just another rocker, from watching this season of Rock Star. I hadn't seen RS:INXS. But something happened last night that may very well have lost some of that respect from people.

Before the winner was announced, there had obviously been the rumors that the fix was in, and Lukas had it. We all know this. But... during the show last night, the new Survivor commercial came on, featuring Lukas' face for music. I don't know if you are aware of this, but it happened right before the winner was announced.

With all things considered, IF the fix was in, once Lukas made the final 4 cut, it could make you look bad. Well, you and Tommy, as exec producers of the show. I really don't want to think it was possible. I got pretty heavy into the show, and into the intensity of building up to the final winner.

But... as I was told as a kid: "If you want in one hand and s#%! in the other..."

I'm beggin, bro. Let us know how all this drama came to play out and look like that. I've checked out Panic Channel's site, and LOVE your intro there. You say some things that I have believed for a long time about rock being a dieing art, and bringing things back to the people. 6767 and RS are both great starts. Please let us know that it wasn't possible that it was just a serious mind-fork.

Love you, man. Keep rockin as hard as you go to your women!

P

"We already have ONE unwatchable piece of shit of a show called "Canadian Idol".... please don't give anyone ideas like that... I'll have to pack and move, fuckin' pronto!"

ROFL, you mean you don't get more than one channel? All I do is change it to CSI or whatever else is on and sometimes even off. I learned how to tile my floor last month.XD

I got yet another one for ya Dave, why don't you get a few elderly people out of a nursing home and record them playing the same 3 chords over and over, pull some homeless guy off the street that smokes 3 packs a day, spray paint a white stripe down his head throw on some lip gloss and sparkly eye shadow and give them a show on national TV!!! Then make us watch it faithfully for 11 weeks to push your crap down our throats!!!

To Aeolyn who said "ALL of these contestants were WELL AWARE that they were signing on for a REALITY SHOW with a CHANCE of becoming the front person for the boys"

BUT you missed the whole point here which is they DIDN'T stand a chance of getting the gig because the gig was already determined and that is why you would see Dave up there all season and on here shitting on the ones he didn't "like" and kissin ass to his favorites who he knew were gonna be the winners and he'd be touring with too. Oh you guys out there think that wasnt already planned too? Geeze its all a money maker for the producers and anyone involved but the rockers themselves and we the public who support their well lined pockets are scammed. Then they get a Ryan or Magni or a Storm or a Toby and people are voting their asses off because those kids are so good. Its a threat to the band and the producers so they gotta think of really crass ways to take them down. The way they treated Magni was bullshit and the way they shafted Storm and Ryan was unthinkable. The way they led Toby and his fans to think for sure hes got it wrapped after his hard work then rip it away. What a cryin shame. I'm happy for you Lukas fanatics who bashed everyone all season and Dilanas too. But you were bigtime influenced and used by the panel and Dave and yep you bought into it.

Hey Scott "Then make us watch it faithfully for 11 weeks", sorry bud, I think you forgot your meds again, only you or maybe your mom that did that.XD

The wheels on the bus go round and round through ever town starring LUKAS THE CLOWN. I just heard that MATBELLINE, L'OREAL, AND COVERGIRL ARE OFFERING LUKAS A DEAL TO BE THEIR SPOKES PERSON.
AND MCDONALDS IS GOING TO GIVE OUT FREE HAPPYMEALS TO EVERYONE THAT GOES TO THE CONSERT.
AND DISNEY IS GOING TO DO A BOOK DEAL WITH LUKAS.
TOMMY LEE HAS BEEN ALSO OFFERED A DEAL TO BE THE SPOKES PERSON FOR MERK PHARMACEUTICALS. AND DAVE IS GOING TO BE CROWNED KING OF CANADA.

Dear, You should not lie!!
VERY WELL SAID !!! EnCORE !! ENCORE !! TAKE A BOW !!! Thats exactly how i would of wrote it if i had the time to do so !!! That was really an awesome piece !!

Rachel ...

personally, i don't really care if everything was planned out or not, because i had a great time watching the show, it inspired me and also introduced me to the panic channel, which i hadn't heard of before (my country is a bit slow on rock...) and i liked it so much i went and bought the cd on msn! and i'm looking out for toby's band's music too, they're awesome and now that toby's gotten more experience i can only assume how much their sound will improve.
i am a bit glad lukas won- the band made a good choice to go with stage personality rather than musical talent, since their music was a bit weak and disappointing to begin with, at least considering the huge talent gilby and jason brought in (i guess they had very little time to work on music), so they're going to need a real stage animal to liven the music up. to sum it up, i would have to say that beyond live shows, supernova as a package lacks content. so lukas can keep the gig and the real musicians like toby and magni are better off making much more memorable music of their own.
that's all i have to say.

Dear izzy,

"BUT you missed the whole point here which is they DIDN'T stand a chance of getting the gig because the gig was already determined"

I can see your distress and confusion, HOWEVER, how do you know that the contestants themselves were NOT in on it? They were getting paid, quite well I might add. If I was a struggling musician trying to get a break, I know I wouldn't mind a grand a week, a posh place to live, some great gifts, the networking and all that FREE PUBLICITY.

Just listen to Storm, she was a class act and knew that doing this SHOW gave her opportunities that she may have worked her whole life and never got.

The one thing that bugged me about Supernova, the people that were trying to win a spot should of tried to win the non-fans to watch the show every week. Perhaps Lucas was the right choice, but he did nothing to win a non-fan like me to wanna watch it/post on the messagebase, all the singers were out of tune (from nervousness), I felt bad for those people, but you guys should of taken that into consideration (if they don't gel with the fans then it's a complete waste of time and money!!!) when selecting the winner (even though the fans voted). I admit, I would of done a crummier job, I dunno.

And BTW: RHCP - One Hot Minute is such an underrated CD, also, glad to see Dave's in a band playing, for a while there it upset me Dave had all that talent and other then the solo CD and his marriage/TV show, he wasn't doing anything. WHAT A WASTE!!!

ART CARCASS - Keep 'em commin', they're great!! Got me dyin' here!!!

The commercial, AGAIN? Hello, while I was disappointed as well, because it was the very commercial where the band asked for a commercial I think. I also understand that this was filmed and in the can by what noon yesterday (PST) as I happened upon the "spoilers" at about 2p.m/ central, yesterday so yes, that gives CBS 7 hours to insert Lukas after being named the winner into the commercial...however I also stated in earlier posts, the commercial was for Survivor (creating a "race vs. race" this time and thus "headspin" fits)and Lukas was in the outfit from last week's performance, so they could of just picked his song to promote the new season of survivor. I see where it sort of tipped us off, but if you think about it, the Commercial didn't say..."LUKAS ROSSI< LEAD SINGER OF SUPERNOVA< SINGS HEADSPIN"
So for all these reasons, it doesn't mean JANET C. was right. I just think CBS messed up in not waiting to play the commercial until after the finale.
Someone said that you can't make a commercial that fast...well it takes about 10 minutes for the superbowl MVP to air the "I am going to Disneyland" commercial...so it can be done. BUT, as I said it wasn't like it was filmed with Supernova last night, it was a shot from LAST WEEK!!!!!

"yo RiP... good one! I have something like six hundred channels, digital cable, BUT ALL THEY SHOW IS CANADIAN IDOL!!!!
heeeeelllllllp"

XD To tell the truth, I use my tv mostly for background noise, online gaming is where it's at!

Hey RiP. Your a loser man!! You don't get it, I was played just like the rest of you. Wasn't that evident until last nights screw-ups on national TV that made it all come into focus. Dave is making lots of money off of the whole thing. 1st he's promoting the hell out of his band that nobody cares about. 2nd, he has a reality show that is only good for about 3 performances a season... the rest is crap. I'm sick of Nirvana songs!!! Dave you should be able to afford buying the rights to some real rock songs for the next one man!!! Join the darkside RiP!!!!!

"I gots to be entertained in this bitch tonight". Ummmmm......sounded gay the first time...no need to repaet twice on the show.

YES SCOTT!!! NO MORE NIRVANA OR I WILL PUKE!!

Re: Commercial

Right on - loved the post. We are living in a digital world now - it takes next to no time to do a lot of things now and nothing to take a clip - from anywhere - and insert it into anything. Computers are magic in the right hands.

You'd honestly think people would realize this - but than they wouldn't be able to complain and get nasty. Where is the fun in being logical and thinking before you yakkity yak yak?

**SUE**
Thanks for the clarification, but the comment really did not bother me. Its not the first time Ive been called that and it certainly wont be the last. I just laughed.

**ART CARCASS**
Love your work! Read your 17 points and it certainly put it all in perspective for me - I could not have said it better myself.....no seriously, I could not have said it better myself - I dont possess the linguistic gravy that you seem to have in spades.

I have to say tho, that after ready all these posts, this has to be my all time favourite [insert drum roll here]....

I just love that quote!!! I cannot tell you how many 'visuals' I get when I read this. It just tickles me. In fact I love it so much, I think I will print it out. On ya, Brain (or is it Brian?)You made my day!!!

A POSSIBLE SOLUTION;
Since there is no way to please all of the people who voted for and supported the different finalists (and let's throw Ryan and Storm in there) , perhaps there is some sort of diplomatic solution?
-Why not rehearse ALL of the final six rockers, and hold a pre-show vote in each city to determine which of them fronts the band for that particular show? We believe in the democratic process, do we not?
-Why not put ALL SIX frontpersons on stage at the same time, and let the audience members figure out who to watch and struggle to hear?
-How about making Superwhatever play each city six times? It could be six nights in a row, two shows over three nights, or whichever idea best suits the boys.
-What about a special set of earphones that, for a nominal fee, will allow you to hear the singer of your choice? So, even though it's Lukas up there spazzing out, you get to hear Dilana's voice over the music, for example.
-The debut (and likely ONLY cd) should be recorded in full with all six finalists, and allow them to put their particular vibe on each track. This could be packaged and sold as six separate releases OR as one double-disc featuring all of them. (what could be better than 160 minutes of such awesome music?)
-Video possibilities abound... select your fave frontperson on pay per view. (fuck, Burnett's gonna love this)
-Merchandise will go through the roof! Haters can purchase special dartboards with their least favorite rocker featured, and extra heavy/sharp "hater darts"... (KA-CHINGG!!!)
Okay, okay... maybe in trying to have some fun and keep things moving along today, I have crossed the line into dickhead territory, but please know that my tongue is planted so firmly in my cheek that my ass hurts.

HATER - GO darkside!!

What a shame! Here my husband and I were prepared to go see TPC and Supernova in February when they come to Chicago. Now, I would not pay two cents to go and see Supernova. Gilby is a washed-up guitarist, who was never big with Guns N Roses anyway. Tommy Lee is a so-so drummer at best, but Jason did rock with Metallica. But, along with everyone else,I was hopingthey would pick an awesome front man and make something of this band. They chose the worst talent of all.

Dave - go on tour with the House Band and the real talent from this year. I would pay big dollars for that - but not to hear screeching and unintelligable singing!

Although not a lucas fan... the band made the right decision.

Thanks for the fun this summer, dave.

Yan

Ummmm... ok....tv shows are there to make money and the more they can make the better....bands need to be promoted and any opportunity will do....people go on tv to get paid and make money, lots of it too -last I understood it was a job and EVERYONE expects to get paid when they work.

(Must reprogram brain - to much logical thinking -this illogical world just doesn't compute!!!!)

Musts stop reading here - people are starting to wonder why I am walking around with this utterly baffled look on my face!

EviL, I was thinking something like...
Hey, Hey, Hey
Ho, Ho, Ho
Break-out the wrong sauce
On tour we go

Heyas Dave,
I thoroughly enjoyed the show, even though Toby (my fave) didn't win. I know that everyone from Ryan down will do well in their careers. You helped give SN a lead singer (whom I wish I could understand most of the time), but you also gave all those others who aren't fronting SN a chance at superstardom. I'm looking forward to seeing more of Storm, Magni and Toby in the future. Awesome show, even if sometimes I wanted to smack Tommy, Gilby and Jason upside their heads for some of their comments through the season. LOL Looking forward to the next one, and pass it on to Brooke - congrats on the baby. :D

TTFN
Angel

I have to say as much as I always rooted for Toby, the most amazing and talented singer/songwriter and performer amongst a sea of talent, I realized as soon as Dave announced he was going on tour with Suave Porn, that Toby would be much better off not being on that tour.

All of the obvious negativity, envy and spew from Dave toward Toby throughout the entire show, in order to try and direct the fans against him, luckily didn't work, as Toby's amazing talents shone through. But I'd hate to think of Toby having to continue to put up with that bullshit on tour when Dave would rather be sitting next to the skunk boy. That snarky remark about the "edgy ones" last night was so contrived Dave. They showed that clip where you pretended to be snoozing during one of Toby's performances and you still couldn't influence the voters against him Dave.

Do you remember that faked snooze bit of yours? Well, that's how an awful lot of people feel about seeing you and Panic Channel perform. Snooze button! Edgy? You've long forgotten what that is Dave.

Anyway, please keep away from Toby, as he is a really good guy and he's 10 times more talented than any of you up on your little throwns are. He's humble and sweet as well. What's not to love? I'm gonna always be one of his major fans and will be supporting him and Juke Kartel all the way. Toby is the one with the mega fan base. I know that's a threat to the rest of you that called yourself judges(esp SN), but true talent speaks for itself and doesn't need the dramas and the props to be edgy or entertaining.

Rock on Toby. You are the ROCKSTAR.

As for the other TALENTED rockers, and there were a few, I wish you and all of your fans the best also. Keep Rockin.

No mazda you are walking around with that baffled look trying to figure out what the hell Suckass is singing or garggling.

Dave - you are so cool. Not a Lukas fan, IMO Dilana may end up with a better career than the boys!! Here in Los Angeles, they showed a Survior commercial that featured Lukas and gave it all away before you - too bad for CBS.

Mazda - Are you in denial also? You're not all there are ya? Come to the darkside where you belong.

RT-you rock!! ROFLMAO as usual.

Mazda-thanks. The only people that I see should have real "beef" with rigged were the people who voted by cell. However, it could have kept their favorite on longer by them calling in. My advice is to just vote online...if they have found 6767 then they obviously are online anyway.

Now, DAVE, with the controversy, I would suggest the actual vote gets posted on the website so people actually can see it mattered. Another idea I had was to limit voting for one and only one rocker. That way it only costs 99 cents at most each week--and each viewer's vote is equal.
While it may not "set records" it would probably reduce the "rigged" comments post-show.

RE RT - A Possible Solution

Great ideas!

They could also let each of the six front the band for two months and have their own little tour - or the final four for three months.

How about an interactive video game where we can insert our fave on the stage with the band - hear them sing their version of each of the songs - mix and match them, change their clothes, give em guitars, take the guitars away - "Rockstar Supernova SIMS".

Scott: Although technically I don't live in a nursing home can I still apply? I don't know how to play guitar or sing either but I'm sure that won't matter because according to so many people, everyone on the show were talentless hacks.

I'm getting all excited. I've always wanted to be in a rock band.

How about "THE LUKAS ROSSI CUM GUZZLERS", Gilby said they don't want a band, just a frontman!!!

Everyones a winner baby #sings#

art carcass you're killing with the band names!!!!
GO DARKSIDE!!!!

Win loss or draw - it was a great way to spend the summer nights. With great Rock and some awsome performances.

I am still not sure about SN(or whatever they will be named) - not sure if it was the telecast or what but most of the bands songs seemed garbled like an old 70s album being played on stereo lol

Best of luck on the tour and I hope TPC gets on the charts. Thanks for 6767.

Hey Art Carcass! That was funny! "SPEW TOO!" I just got this mental image of Lukas dressed like Hermione twitching around the stage! lol.

Dave!!!

Just learned that it was YOU who was the "leak"!!! You trusted a buddy with the confidential info that Pukas was the winner all along! That's how Janet Charleton learned it!

Wow....what can I say to that?! Not cool.

I had already put the pieces of the puzzle together, that he would win, regardless of the votes, but to have you confirm it, was priceless.

I hope people will see this show for what it is....just a contrived scam, insulting our intelligence for profit. You console yourselves with the notion that you're "helping" unsigned artists.

Sorry to hear you've joined the corporate machine!

Mazda - You're right, your not our kind....THE DARKSIDE IS FINE WITHOUT YOU... keep turd sniffing!!

Brian Birchall unfortunately represents 'the darkside' of living in Alberta. He's one of those xenophobic rednecks who profess to have christian values from one side of their mouth while spewing intolerant garbage from the other. Sounds like a Republican to me.

Dave, I'd take his advice and stay away from his kids, they're probably armed and stupid just like their daddy.

Geez, I hope for your sake, the rockers don't decide to sue.

Hope you guys have good lawyers.....oh wait, SN just lost their last case. Yikes.

HELLO FROM CANADA! Dave do you actually read all these?? Holy crap. Here I wanted to tell you that I LOVE YOU and look at all these people!!

I think you are super super sexy!!!

Hey Navarro,

SUUURRRRELY....suuuurely.....suuuurely.....
you have gotta be seconds away from doing something with Seymore Butts...you and he seem to be slowly moving toward one another, melding into one buffed, porny LA poodle morph....

Here's an idea - next year you could have 'Rockstar: Tushy-Girls, where Jenna is 'like - the main girrrrrl', and you audition a virtual all-girl group who are wannabe porn starlet-rock-chickss...they sing vaccuous candy-coated washed out light rock, throw goats and yell 'hell yeh, duuuuude' whilst taking it in the tush...

Guest stars like Tommy(of course), Dilana could come back , maybe Perry and the Chillis).

You host - shirtless duuuuuude, Brooke gets nude,
ratings and txting $$ would be terrific.

and..of course.....Seymore films the whole thing!!!

COME ON NAVARRO THIS IS GOLD - AND YOOOOUUU COULD BE EXEC PRODUCERRRRRR, DUUUUUUDEEEE

and congratulations to the litle skunk-hobbit-rooster-with-a-limp, and condolences to the pink-muppet-witch.

Right-O!!!!

HELLO FROM CANADA! Dave do you actually read all these?? Holy crap. Here I wanted to tell you that I LOVE YOU and look at all these people!!

I think you are super super sexy!!!

Since apparently no one reads my posts, I'll quote myself:
The band's new name is officially "Rock Star Supernova" -- it was fun trying to come up with a new one, but one click to their supernovarockshop.com clearly shows that they've sidestepped this issue by adding two words, one of the options presented in the legal hearing.

Although, I'd change the name to Gas Crack personally.

So if Lukas got the most votes last night, like Tommy announced that he did, wouldn't that have put Dilana in the bottom three at one point???

Hey Dave, thanks for the entertainment this summer. The RS tapings were a blast!! Excited that you're going to contribute to Dilana's next cd. Dilana's voice + your guitar = massive chills. Can't wait!!!!!

Alchemy

Oh my GOD!!!! Lukas pulled it off!!!! I always knew he could. I think he is going to be a perfect fit with Supernova. He's so eddgy and has an amazing voice that gives me chills every time I hear him. And on top of that I think he's totaly HOTT!!!! It's so funny cause when I saw the first show I thought, it's going to come down to either Lukas or Dilana, and it did. I can't wait till the Supernova CD comes out. I know that Lukas really wanted this and I think he is going to do a great job. Speaking of jobs, Dave, is there any way I could get a spot on the couch with you? Anyway I love Lukas and wish him the best of luck along with all the Supernova guys. And as for you have, fun on the tour. And by the way the Panic CD rocks!!!!
Love forever ~ Jess

Had been rooting for Lukas from Day 1. Hadn't even seen him perform, but knew he has going to kick ass ... which he did.

SEE YA IN JANUARY DAVE!!! [Got tix last night!!]

"TLee already bought all those Storm Dolls!!!"

That's alright, Ryan is selling all his little guitars to pay his cell bill.XD

Its time to come clean with us, Dave.

You werent born in '67. In fact, you probably marinate yourself every night in Dick Clark tonic to keep your youthful appearance. Its a conspiracy I tell ya...

You were probably hiding on the grassy knoll that fateful November afternoon too, werent ya? And I bet you were instrumental in faking that whole lunar landing escapade with Armstrong, didnt ya....

And now...you fuck with our TV? You and that minion of Satan Mark Burnett hatch this elaborate plot to occupy our summer with a rigged show? Shame, shame on you Dave. If that is your real name... Next you're gonna tell me that there's no Santa Claus or Tooth Fairy!

I think I deserve some kind of compensation for my pain and suffering. If you share the lotto numbers Janet Charlton gives you we'll call it even. Dont make me call on Perry Ferrell to come and whup you into compliance. Just hand over the numbers and you can walk away with some shreds of dignity still intact...

Hunting for clues in the grass clippings of the knoll,

"So if Lukas got the most votes last night, like Tommy announced that he did, wouldn't that have put Dilana in the bottom three at one point???"

It was the bottom 2.

That mathematically makes it possible for them all to have been in the bottom 2 at some point and still won with the most votes overall.

So Weakass Rossi won. I hope SN (or whatever their new name is) put their song lyrics on their new album because nobody will be able to tell what the lyrics are just from listening to Mr Rossi. In my opinion, the only star quality this guy has is in the movie version of Pepe le Pew.

LMFAO.

Get a grip, folks! Everyone who made it to the last few shows surely has many more possiblities than they did before. End of story!

Incredible how I've read 1000 posts of people whining it was fixed because a commercial spot was aired before the winner was announced.

Do any of these clowns even realize this show is pre taped and not live? Of the remaining clowns don't they realize to slap that commercial together was about ten minutes work at a high estimate?

I'd swear it's raining horse blinders. Duck!

I think they made a good choice, they wanted someone to stand out as their singer and Lukas does just that.

In the end I just loved them all for standing up there every week and giving it their all.

Thanks for some good T.V watching.

"Im looking forward to actually reading and interacting w/ the family members posts again. It's been a while...
Love, Amber"

it has been too damn long amber! i miss it too, i cannot wait to it settles down. i am thinking about two weeks and those "special" ones will leave. and hopefully the truly special will stay. anyhow, HEY UC!!! SWEET MELIS!! SAVVY!! PEEBS! i heart peebs. EMPIRE!!! it is good to see familiar names.

OH, AND BY THE WAY, I AM NOW DISABLING MY EMAIL SO THAT WAY IF THE JERK THAT KEEPS STEALING FAMILY MEMBERS SCREEN NAMES SCREWS WITH MINE I WON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT SOME DUMBSHIT HAVING MY EMAIL ADDRESS TOO. I AM SORRY FOR ALL OF YOU THAT HE/SHE HAS DONE THAT TOO.

love you Dave, have a good time tonight and again I hope my post about the shooting at a college in Montreal yesterday was appropriate for me to post. I recognize that maybe some Americans may not know where Montreal is though I find that diffcult to believe, but you never know. anyway when even violence enters a school whether it be high school or university, it affects us all.

take care,

though rockstar brought me to this site, I ain't going anywhere! I love TPC and I truly believe and support; not to mention love, what your doing with SRL.

I think Lucas was the perfect choice. If they would have chosen Dilana who was the best singer of the bunch, they would have faded into the background because all eyes would be on Dilana.

At least with Lucas people will tire of his epileptic seisures on stage and realize that there are some other people on stage.

During the closing they looked and sounded pretty much like any other bar band.

Can't wait for Dilana's CD.

I think the whole voting process is fucked. I mean if 1000 fans vote for Dilana once and 11 Lucas fans vote 100 times Lucas wins because his 8 year old girl fans don't have a life and can sit in front of a computer for four hours?

What a pussy way for SN to choose.
I guess when they don't do worth a shit they can blame it on the public and say "Hey, you guys chose this asshole."

OMG.. it's Thursday - almost 24 hours since this summer party ended
we need a new blog entry.. something in no way RSSN -CBS- Hamster related
*big freekin yawn*

isn't anybody else over the drama yet?

Where's your radio show? I miss it. Missy Stench was pretty cool today though. MORE RADIO PLEASE.

BTW: not sure you if rock people would like it, but to expand your horizons a little listen to David Byrne's (ex-Talking Head guy and super cool artist) radio station, here:

http://www.davidbyrne.com/radio/index.php

Hey, Slutmonkey57b! You freak. You failed your OWN math class! You must be one of the dee-dee-dee kids on the little yellow bus.

Here are your numbers from your posting:
Voting at end of programme:
Total votes: 10
Dilana: 4
Toby: 3
Lukas: 2
Magni: 1

Oh noes! Lukas is in the bottom 2! He can't win.
Voting at end of voting:
Dilana: 10
Toby: 9
Lukas: 11
Magni: 8

Check it out and do some addition (that's when you combine one number with another number to make a third number, ok? If your scenario was true, the rest of the night (after the early voting results YOU posted) would have been Lukas getting an additional 9, Magni getting 8 more votes and Dilana and Toby getting 6 more votes. IMPOSSIBLE because Dilana would have been in the bottom two at some point later in the evening and she wasn't. Plus Brooke's motherly hormones must have kicked in and they forot to edit out here "Dilana, you got the highest vote total" comment out before they switched it up and said that Lukas had at the end of the show. There is NO reason to be a fraud. The only ones it hurts are the fans, many of whom now will sit on the fannies instead of going to see one band out of millions because they think Supernova (or whatever they might have to change their name to) are less than honest.

Since you spell "program" with an extra "me" I presume you're Canadian, Aussie or from the UK. I have no problem with Lukas being crowned winner. I am talking about FRAUD (producers taking in millions of dollars or Euros or whatever) from gullible people THINKING they were making a difference by text messaging their votes, when the game was already over.

Math Professor on CD set. Ask for one at Christmas, Hannukah, Ramadan or Festivus....whichever you celebrate.

Dave,
Do you send out photos to fans? Or should I just copy one from the net? I was thinking you might have a press photo for your adoring fans.... I can send an envelope w/postage for it if you mention your PO Box. I know we're mostly net oriented now, but real photos are special--especially yours. Enjoyed your comments during the show. You have a new fan in me... Will be looking out for the Panic Channel. All the best to you Dave....

"PhanTimm. With the talents you just listed thaat you have you could have given the garggling chicken a run for his money."

*blush* Oh stop. You are embarrassing me.

Actually, I really couldn't. I can't gargle you see. I end up gagging and choking. Wait a minute...that just might work. But I'm less of a chicken and more of an elephant. So that would make me a gagging, choking elephant. I wonder if the public is ready for something like that.

Don't get me wrong from what I said yesterday..I'm not influenced by others opinions easily (not even you, Dave). I love Gilby and Jason...sorry, I never was a fan of Tommy... Though in all honesty and in MY own opinion I think they could have made a better choice, friends or not, aside.

I think you and Gilby made a great business decision when you both offered your talent to Dilana for her first album. I will definitely buy it. ...and just something to chew on, why did the boys all offer to back her if they didn't want her to front their band?

HI Dave, This summer was great and your show was rocken. I wish Supernova all the best and you too. I have been a fan of your music for years. I checked out your web site Panic channel and you and the band rock. I have a idea and you think about this, for two years you have singers trying to front a rock band. (Inxs and now Supernova) Next year why not a guitar player or drumer. Thanks again john from New York

it will be nice to have the board back with the family.

Dave,

None of this criticism would would mean shit if you just got back on the junk. Fuck all these people, right? Calling you sell out and shit - who needs it? Burroughs rode that train till he died - at 83 no less! Al Jourgensen is still on dope. And Elliot Smith would certainly be still in junk if that chink bitch hadn't of stabbed him. Those guys are cool as fuck!

Getting straight is over ratred.

Besides, remember how good it felt?

Hi Dave,

Thanks for a great season, loved it all.

Lukas would not have been my choice, but EVS, that's life!

Am looking forward to Ryan's CD, and hope that Toby puts one out, as well. Magni and the House Band would be a great CD, too.

Great job all around, thanks for the fun diversion. Love TPC, look forward to hearing more. And will definitely stick with your blog, should be a little cozier now.

Shalom!

Phew! What a lucky escape for all the Rockstar "runners up". Great to have the exposure, but who wants to be stuck in a band of has-beens playing lame music?? Lukas and SN deserve each other. Rock on TPC and all the eliminated artists- can't wait for their albums to come out. What about SN?....zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

Dave,

I think you did a great job on the show. But even know the last 5 were people of the world was AWASOME! i was peaking threw yahoo answers and the feed back that they gave the Canandan isnt so great! answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=Ar47K.eTIexPKkjxekJVaY7sy6IX?qid=20060914115001AAOTf2C

:( i personaly think that lucas sounds constpated when he sings. and the SOUTH AFRICAN WOMAN would have been a better pick. but it is not my band.

sadly i will not be buying the supernova cd!

But YOU KICK ASS come to new mexico the land wants you!

Hi Dave Great show this summer. I enjoy it. I felt that their were some good singers and some will have a future ahead,I wish them all good luck.For you and your band,Panic Channel-Best of Luck too.Which I check out on your web site. I feel you and your band were great.Good luck to you and Thanks again for a great show. marie from New York.......P.S. LUCAS GREAT CHOICE FOR SUPERNORA.......

Lily and Humboldt Squid.

dark geniuses, the only notables amngst the sea of middle America spoon-fed lemmings.

Love your work guys.

Dave,

I had a fun rockin' time this summer watching the show and glad to hear about RS3 next summer. Hope you and Brooke host and can't wait to hear the line-up. I just want to say the RS is awesome to watch. I love seeing the fresh raw talent these people bring and I love watching them grow. I have my memorable performances and I love how caring they are toward each other in the end. The last 5 singers were awesome and I wish them all the luck in the world. Can't wait for the tour and to see you and TPC.
Rock on
Anita

boo. i like lukas but during the 2 songs supernova played he was glued to the stage like he had the microphone pole stuck up his ass. where was all the moving around and shaking it like he did before he got the gig? what? he doesn't have to try anymore?

he didnt have to try Pat, he knew he had the job as did most of the other contestants. For fucks sake, he was in a commercial during the show for Survivor, what the fuck is that ?

how could that Janet Charlton be so exact?, it was more than a guess. I believe they knew who they wanted long ago, it didnt go down to the last week.

Turns out they cant be Supernova, using that name would be theft. Its sad to think what could of been, instead of what a bunch of has-beens who must be 3/4s deaf from years of bass, guitars and drums in their ears

Lukas was a great choice. Thanks Dave for keeping it real. All these people on their with the fix comspiracy are a joke....but you already know that.
Janet C = I know who it is...whoopy doo so did I from the first taping.
The Commercial - Okay, not the best thing to do...but the show is pretaped that morning (we all know this because we wait for spoiler info to come back)...so by the time it airs commericials can be thrown together.
The vote = We just because the order was one way at the end of the taping doesn't mean it was the same way at the end of the voting period. Lukas was in the bottom two...but overpased Dilana throughout the voting period.
It is amazing what lack of common sense people have these days

Dude, he had to win, he was the complete package plus it was obvious from the first show that this dude got game. They would have been fools to miss this dude with the amount of fans he had. He is the reason i watched the show, and now tickets please?! by the way u rock, Just because by janes addiction an anthem! timmy from dublin ireland ;)

Lukas is horrible. He sounds likes hes throwing up when he sings. Dilana's voice goes right through me. She has a grandma voice,lol. I really wish Toby wouldve won. Thats my opinion. Sorry..

To: HumboldtSquid Quote: None of this criticism would would mean shit if you just got back on the junk. ,,,Burroughs rode that train till he died - at 83 no less! Al Jourgensen is still on dope. And Elliot Smith would certainly be still in junk ....Those guys are cool as fuck! Getting straight is over ratred. Besides, remember how good it felt?

Shudder....

What are you out of your mind? I work with people who've been on the junk, as you put it, and their once beautiful minds are often junk. Why would you want such a beautiful mind as Dave's to get damaged?

I think Dave's done the honorable and courageous thing to face his life straight and take it like a man.

I wish you the courage to do the same and many blessings for a brighter and clearer tomorrow.

I love Lukas. But actually I liked most of them them . Thanks Dave for another great RS season.

WOW,600 hits.Unreal Dave

I am not a fan of lukas. that mothercanucker was so absurd on stage that I had a hard time listening to the music because I was laughing so hard. But he is still not emo, still Glam Rock.

Despite what Tommy Lee or whoever else had decided previously, if Magni had sung "Freebird," he would have won.

And Mr. Birchill, I think your children have been scarred enough, on account of the fact that their mother is also your redneck cousin (cheap shot, I know, but he pissed me off)

"I am amazed at how angry and upset people get these days when artists make choices that they don't agree with."

These days we have reality TV, blogs and message boards. You guys wanted our opinions to gauge sales so you'll have to take the good with the bad.

I have to say I could not stand Lukas, could never understand a word he said when singing, and I thought his arrogance was just way over the top. He never cheered anyone on, just stared at the floor, what an ass. I loved Dilana from the beginning. I do believe with my heart though, that her episode of breakdown really hurt her. I think SN might have been a little gun shy if she could not handle that pressure, what about when the press really starts their attacks, what then?? Lukas was always level headed and calm. I think she will be a bigger rocker on her own. Oh well hopefully TPC will make a stop in Vegas without SN.

I cannot believe that HumboltSquid still visits here! lol Wait and tii Bloumeister and ArtCarcass find out about this last post of his! haha

I'm glad Lukas won because I can't stand his voice or his performance. Now the others can do their own things and supercede any success SN (or whatever they're gonna be called) will have.

SQUID? SQUID?

Where?

Aussie, just wait 'till I'm back! A quick bite and I'll come read all the posts. Then I'll be on the hunt!

TO: YOU SHOULD NOT LIE

I read your comments only because you had it all, well most of it in caps. You said,

HAVE TO LIE TO US AND TELL US THAT WE SHOULD VOTE LIKE IDIOTS, AND MOST OF ALL SPEND MONEY TEXT MESSAGING OUR VOTES FROM VERIZON CELL PHONES. YOU GUYS ARE LOADED WITH MONEY, WHY WOULD YOU MAKE FANS SPEND THEIR MONEY VOTEING WHEN IT WAS NOT NEEDED. I THINK THAT IS WHY PEOPLE ARE REALLY PISSED.

ok well you do know that you could have voted online free..rofl, if you CHOOSE to text your vote than YOU CHOOSE to spend money. Whose fault is that? why not grow up, have some diginty and take some accountability. Too bad that your favorite didn't win and that you believe it has all been one big consipiracy.

The fact that both JD and Lukas are from Canada has nothing to do with it other than maybe us Canadian's choose to vote online and multiple times. Fact remains, Lukas had the most votes, he has been the most consistent performer and has all of the qualities that SN was looking for.

look at this way, the show is over, so why not GET OVER IT

AH, HUMBOLDT IS BACK, spreading the wisdom, hailed by others as a "dark genius"....
I have a riddle for ya, squiddly;

Either way you're as stupid as a post. Get the fuck out of here.

"You must be one of the dee-dee-dee kids on the little yellow bus."

Some of that guy's stuff is fucking hilarious!XD

thanks for sharing dave
see ya
right on lukas!!!

I think the Humboldt Squid is some kind of a prank. I fell for it at first too. Who posts stuff like that as "comment" on someone's blog? I know I am an offender and I post some dumb stuff here - but come on that has to be joke.
Okay, I'm worn out and I am not checking here again - although todays comments have been most entertaining. Can somebody close the thread for Dave while he is on vacation?

Humbolt Squid Is merely a little light and cheap entertainment, and someone to make fun of for how obviously stupid he is! lol
How harmful could he be? What's he gonna do? Suction us all to death? or worse, hug us with all his slimy arms! echhhhh

Maribella I agree, somewhat.

But someone who is a fan of Dave wouldn't make a joke like that. So I don't see any reason to make him/her comfortable in this space.

So, Humboldt Squid: Take off asshole.

D

It's OK, guys, I already found it...

Shit, RT, you've been on a roll today! Take a break, I'll be taking over soon... Sooooo hungry! Then bath time and bed time for my baby girl, and I'll be ba-a-a-ack, dishin' it out in style!

And believe me, after all that happened yesterday in my city (Dawson College shooting in Montréal), I'm in a real foul mood. All f*cking bashers and haters are gonna get what's coming to them...

ArtCarcass,
Funny to see you back again!
Your sick and twisted humour is what has kept me coming back! haha
Oh my god, I might be turning into one of you! lol

Hey Cherish you slut,

Let's play a game. It's called better or worse. The rules are easy. I type out a name and we see if their music is better or worse now that they're straight.

Aerosmith - worse
Guns & Roses d.b.a. Velvet Revolver - worse
Thelonius Monster d.b.a Bicycle Thief - worse
Hole - worse
Lou Reed - worse
Megadeath - worse
Rolling Stones - worse
Def Leppard - worse (not that they were ever any good in the first place)

If aesthetics is a bit too subjective for you, by all means, lets go by straight record sales and see if these bands were using when they sold the most amount of records.

Sobriety makes for a great VH1 Behind the Music storyline, but fuck that shit. I like my rock n' roll dangerous.

So lets all quit blowing smoke up Dave's ass and get him back to his addled best - fucked up with a cigarette hanging from his mouth, noodling away and oblivious to all around him.

Art Carcass - funny joke man. I'm gonna use that one.

If I can still remember it after I fix.

Let's make out sometime.

Cherish, you need to beat the shit outta the stinky squid

Yeah, but I'm right motherfucker....

I heard about the issue regarding the use of the name, Supernova.

My recommendation...Heavy Water.

Check it. I believe it would make for a great band name.

Oh my god, did you call me a motherfucker? So devastated.... not! I bet your'e not even a whole squid, just some little calamari ring that keeps getting fucked up the wrong hole. Did you do your research on those bands all night to come up with that shit?

Squid, everyone has to grow up sometime.

When will you buddy?

Outta here.

D

Hey Dave I noticed that you were the one to invite Dilana on the Suave Porn tour not Suave Porn themselves?I also noticed that you also used the catch phrase the "x" factor on your blog.Well Jason in an aftershow interview used that exact same phrase.He said Lukas has that "x" factor.No shit.

Who the fuck is really running this show?Oh yeah you are.Good on ya.Otherwise we coulda had Suzie and Toby and that my friends would be a complete snorefest.PS.I like both Toby and Suzie.Once again I implore you please no Ryan on any leg of any tour.Thanx Dave you are the best.

i gotta be honest -- lukas just didnt seem to be a great fit for the band. i am a marketing exec in the music biz, and he certainly wouldn't have been my choice from a marketing perspective (instead, toby made a **LOT** more sense).

tommy talked about lukas' "look" and the "way he moves" as examples of what made him a great fit for their band... IMHO, that's exactly the stuff which doesn't seem to fit with them. look at gilby and jason -- they are legitimately cool guys, they don't wear crazy-ass make-up, they don't stumble around the stage (why does lukas do that wierd/awkward/creepy stumble?). anyway, we never saw the real behind the scenes programming, and certainly don't know a ton about personalities, so maybe lukas was a great choice because of interpersonal dynamics.

but from a business perspective, it seems that Lukas was an odd choice. and while this is "all about the music," it's also all about the business, too. call a spade a spade - supernova has to sell shows and albums. gilby, tommy and jason can do that in their sleep, but i think choosing lukas just actually negatively impacted their revenue potential.

"Dave!!!
Just learned that it was YOU who was the "leak"!!! You trusted a buddy with the confidential info that Pukas was the winner all along! That's how Janet Charleton learned it!
Wow....what can I say to that?! Not cool.
I had already put the pieces of the puzzle together, that he would win, regardless of the votes, but to have you confirm it, was priceless.
I hope people will see this show for what it is....just a contrived scam, insulting our intelligence for profit. You console yourselves with the notion that you're "helping" unsigned artists.
Sorry to hear you've joined the corporate machine!
Posted by: ZK at September 14, 2006 02:03 PM"

well gee, i also once said that lukas was going to win. it was right after tommy said..."can you say rockstar?" and threw down the mike. dave has said that lukas and dilana were his favorites. but since i highly doubt you know dave, or anyone dave knows...you are just spewing mindless babble. don't you have anything better to do? come on people, seriously get a life. give us back our blog.
and as far as the unsinged artists thing being a scam...have you ever heard of any of these people before this show?? no?? me either. but now i will be going to buy whatever a couple of them come out with. so guess what..these poor artists are now going to make a lot of money off of this "just a contrived scam" show. have a nice day.

http://weblog.greenpeace.org/oceandefenders/images/azores/_AZ_Giant_Squid_500.jpg

"Squid, everyone has to grow up sometime"

Why, so I can wear Dockers like you?

Thanks for the advice dad.

Squid, I think they found your daddy.

Oh yeah and Magni looked like he fit the band as a rythm player.Suave Porn should offer him that job and let him sing a couple songs on each album.He kind of fills the bands out to my mind adding that extra layer of sound.Plus from everthing I saw he looks like the most talented songwriter after Lukas.

He probably wouldn't want that gig but I would offer it him.

Dear Elizabeth,

You are full of shit if you were really a marketing exec in the music business with that lack of knowledge you would be homeless living in a car under a bridge in Toronto.

Oh Yeah the stumble thing Lukas does and the epileptic seizure moves that he does are called "electrocuted Jagger".They are both tres cool by the way.If only Jagger himself had thought of that.

Dave Rules! I wrote three more poems about him today. Here's the last one:

Dark Knight
Always there in my dreams
Velvet lined coffins and photo booths
Everywhere the smell of incense
Songs of sadness
Unleashes feelings inside me
Curling my toes as I imagine
Kissing my gothic prince
Softly.
Despair fills me...
I'm alone...
Crying because this world is
Killing me.

Congratulations Lukas! I accidentally read this site before the episode screened in New Zealand. Oops.

re: elizabeth at September 14, 2006 04:59 PM

Marketing exec in the music biz......that wouldn't be the Canadian music biz would it?...the same music biz that failed to see the rockstar right under their noses

Give Elizabeth a break guys! Maybe she meant to say she is in charge of ordering cds at the local music store. sheesh!

To No1SuperDuperDaveFan,
No offense intended, but I think you should maybe find a boy your own age and move on.
Sounds a little bit depressing to me.

Rockstar:Find_K-Fed_A_Band. HAHAHAHA cause he needs something to do other than fuck Britney Spears.
this has been hilarious reading - especially the haters.
FUCK JANET CHARLTON - I called it on Lukas early on and I'm not in the business, near the business, nor am i a musician -just a fan of rock n'roll. No leak needed for me. And who gives a fuck if it is a scam - it's rock on National TV the likes of which I haven't seen since at least the early 80's before MTV stopped playing videos and started pandering to the Hip-Hop/Rap fucks who seem to have taken over the airwaves. (and I for one disagree - i think it's legit)
My friend cringed when Tommy would stand up - she was scared his pants would fall off. I said "don't say that like it's a bad thing".

can't wait to see you ALL in MPLS on 2/8. and I hope you really can go again next summer cause it's the SHIT!!!
THANK GOD FOR ROCK AND ROLL!!!!!

I wish I could. All the boys in my town are into rap/rock or country and are pretty mean to my friend and I

OMG, paranoid much!! If you are so keen on bagging on the show (.e.g. "they just had to make sure they wore the same clothes" = bullshit) then why the hell are you still watching it?
At the end of the day the best person for the job won, so instead of bitching and moaning, how about a big thumbs up and congratulations for Lukas. I happen to think he did a stellar job.
Heavy-weights like Gilby, Tommy and Jason aren't going to pick a dud now are they...good luck to the boys.
Hopefully Supernova come to New Zealand on the world tour, and that goes for you too Dave. Would love to see you and The Panic Channel down under :)
<3

Come to Australia, lots of cute boys here lol and they will be nice to you!
PS: You do know boys are usually mean to you when they like you? haha

Dave, well said. I support artists I love through good and bad. Music brings me so much more than just joy. It changes my emotions. It lifts my spirits.

Anyway. Thanks brother for all the good words. Can't wait for the next SRL.

Cheers mate.
Michael

It's disturbing to read so much crap! Did you guys know that in her interview Dilana also predicted Lukas would win from day one? Was she in cahoots with Janet Charlton, you think? Maybe Dilana leaked the rumour LOL.

Now that is unanimous endorsement from the fellow rockers whose opinions carry alot more weight than yours.

Have you even stopped to consider that if all the rockers plus the band think Lukas is the right person, there may be something wrong with your thinking, not theirs?

Anyway, Dilana says she is proud and happy for Lukas, what is your problem?

I really hate to bag on the haters ya know.My inner self says it's just not right to torture people who don't have the mental capabilities to defend themselves.Buuttt fuck it.

How's this.Rossi just made more money last night than that idiot on Big Brother did earlier in the week or the pinhead that wins the next Survivor.So he wins you lose.Too bad so sad.

I would *LOVE* to go to Australia! I'm totally into Nick Cave, Crime + the City Solution and other bands.

I don't think the boys here secretly like us. Earlier this summer they scanned images of my friend and I from our freshman yearbooks and photoshopped them onto some images of these two chicks doing each other off some porn site and passed them around and told everyone that we were lesbians. My parents knew they weren't real pictures but told me that it was partially our fault because of the way my friend and I dress and because we are always hanging out together.

For those of you that were really watching last night, for those of you that still have Wed nights final RS on TIVO, re-watch it!. If you pay close attention, CBS airs a commercial for the new Survival series, right before they announce Lucas as the winner, watch for Lucas in the commercial. Why is he in the commercial????? Remember, this before they announced him as the winner. I don't know why, just wondering...

I think the Lukas detractors are going to be shocked how good he sounds when he gets the benefit of a good mix in a studio like every other well-known artist in the world.

Lukas sounds sweet on this track.... It's all Love sounds amazing!

Here's the scoop for Canadian viewers that missed the first half of the finale because of Global TVs technical glitch.

"Rock Star: Supernova - Finale Replay" (60 mins)Friday, September 15:

-7pm in Global Winnipeg/Global Regina/Global Saskatoon
-8pm in Global Ontario/Global BC/Global Quebec
-9pm in Global Maritimes/ Global Edmonton/ Global Calgary

Budcat1, welcome to the blog. Astute of you - that has been pointed out here by at least a hundred people already.

Obviously someone at CBS made a mistake and that commercial should have been reversed with the second Survivor commercial played at the end of Rockstar, after the winner was announced.

The show was taped early on Weds morning (I was there, and yes the BFKA Supernova performed live)so they had plenty of time to slot Lukas' photo and music into the commercial before airtime Weds night. No conspiracy, not prepared earlier. Just a dumbass production mistake.

so by the lack of a new blog entry do we assume Dave is gone for a long (well deserved) weekend?

Hope so, Opal. Although I hope someone closes this before his site crashes.

But it seems he would have said goodbye to us. A brief kiss, a soft touch across the lips, or something...

No1SuperDuperDaveFan,
That's aweful!
Now I feel bad for being mean to you before! UGH!
Those boys are little dicks!

"thank you for your comments, your support, your hating, for all of it." LOL...Even the hating! Dave, I love you for this! This is the first time I've posted on your site and I only read your blog posts, which I'm glad for because negativity towards Lukas, my fave or any of the other rockers drives me insane. I have to say you impress the hell out of me. Charming, intelligent, sexy, extraordinarily talented, witty and so much more. Hope to see you in Rockstar 3 if there is one next year! You make the show great!

we could reeeeeeeally change the direction of this thing
hehehe
a maybe a little good bye for now swat with a riding crop.....

Hi all
new to posting not new to the board or SRL(which I love!)

Gotta wonder why people are so freaked out if SN knew they would pick Lukas weeks ago? It was their band and their choice whether they chose 3 weeks ago or yesterday. They chose who they felt is best for their band. The bottom 2 clearly had enough fans to get to that point and they chose Lukas because for them he was a better fit.

Personally I am a Dilana fan, I think her voice is far better then Lukas' and she is much more talented..BUT..she has more of a classic rock sound(think Janis Joplin, Jefferson Airplane etc) and SN clearly doesnt want to be a classic rock band.

Anyway, thats just my opinion..The show was fun to watch and I am happy for Lukas even though I cant understand a word he sings either. So what, it was entertaining to say the least.

The only bad part of it ending is I wont get to see Dave 2x a week anymore!

DaveAklNZ,

awww, thanks dude! Wow, I'm a dark genius! Maybe Dave can hook me up with the Dark Horse? I'll give that boy somethin' to shriek about...

Basking in the glow of her darkness,
Lily

Thanks Tustin!
Did not have the chance to read other blog comments today.
Mistake makes sense to me.
Don't believe in conspiracy theories anyway, was just curious.
Thanks again!

I FOR ONE AM RELIEVED TO FIND OUT THAT THE CONTEST WAS FIXED... I WAS HOPING ALL ALONG THIS WAS THE CASE. TO LET SUCH A THING BE DECIDED BY THE GREATEST NUMBER OF KNUCKLEHEADS WOULD BE CRIMINAL. AND BESIDES, FOR ALL YOU KNOW, THAT EVS IDIOT WOULD HAVE WON. WHAT MAKES YOU ALL SO SURE THAT DILANA WOULD HAVE? GOOD CHANCE SHE'D BE ELIMINATED WEEKS AGO. BUT THE ABSURDITY OF ABSURDITIES IS THAT SOME OF YOU ARE ACTUALLY FEELING CHEATED... LIKE, JUST WHEN YOU FELT AS THOUGH TOMMY LEE WAS REALLY SOMEONE YOU COULD TRUST! HAH! WAY TO TOTALLY MISS THE POINT OF ROCK MUSIC! YEA WELL, WHAT ELSE CAN WE EXPECT FROM A GENERATION BROUGHT UP BY THE UPROARIOUS THOM YORK AND THE HILARITY OF THE DIXIE CHICKS.

AND AS FOR LUKAS: WELL DONE MY BROTHER. EGON SCHIELE MEETS MARLON BRANDO IN A BOWERY ALLEYWAY WHERE TOM WAITS IS SCRAPING HANK BUKOWSKI OFF THE CEMENT, YES! I HAVE TO LOVE IT. IF BY THE MOST REMOTE OF CHANCES YOU'RE READING THIS, LUKAS, JUST ONE SUGGESTION, WELL INTENDED AND FROM A TRUE FAN: NOT SO MUCH WINKING, IT'S CONTRARY TO STYLE.

DAVE, IF YOU SEE HIM, PASS IT ON.

Wow thanks for the post Jodig 06:07 PM after hearing Lukas on those songs layed down and recorded i now really am FEELING this band. But teasing us with 2 songs is just wrong!

So since we've totally worn out the SN thing, lets just pick on each other LOL. Smiles, Teresa

OzCookie - thanks! <3

Sounds like Lukas & the Boys, TPC and The House Band are going to be one helluva rockin' party on the road!!!

wow 663 posts lol Dave you are going to be blind <3

I just wanted to drop a line and say I listened to the tracks on the Supernova myspace site and I really like them.

They sound great!

You're welcome chicky! Refer to email I just sent you!

This is soooooo not Dave's site anymore. I think he has lost control! lol

Squid....no not your Dad. Your pissed off Mom ready to take away all your video games and your Accutane...pizza face.

D

Oh dear God - 666 posts. Nothing to say but had to add one to not get closed at that number. Enough evil has spewed forth already!

And while the cat is away, the mice will play.

Hey Teresa, I am in. Did you post anything stupid earlier I can make fun of?

The studio mixes of the Supernova songs on their myspace.com account sound amazing! Lukas is doing his own backing vocals.

I for one am glad that Tommy "got the singer he's dreamed of all his life".

I'm glad Jason got someone to "play music with like he's always wanted to play music, like it was the last day on earth"

I'm glad Gilby got someone who makes him "feel inspired when he watches him"

And I'm glad an incredibly talented guy like Lukas got the gig he wanted so badly and has a shot at the fame he so clearly deserves after putting his heart and soul into every performance.

This is about the band after all and what they want. They chose Lukas based on that.

I'm glad Dilana will have such an incredible jump-start to her solo career.

I'm also glad Lukas and Toby get to hang out in Tommy's mansion, their friendship is real and should inspire the haters out there to ease up. BTW can we get a camera in there?

Can you post the link please?

im glad its over.

Dave -

I just wanna hang out with you - listen to music ... watch you play ... chill ... (and of course, since I'm a photographer ... take pics) ... you are lots of fun, interesting, vertsatile and well-spoken ... thanks for making the music accessible to more and more people.

Stay True,

Juls

Hey D,
Did you see the link I posted of Squid's daddy?
http://weblog.greenpeace.org/oceandefenders/images/azores/_AZ_Giant_Squid_500.jpg

I can't believe the mean comments that were posted here about Dave! That is seriously f*****ing messed up.

Aussie, you of all people should know that Dave doesn't have control of this website anymore. We've proven it time and time again over the last 2 weeks.

"Here I go agai-ai-ai-aiiinnn"
(in my worst Coverdale voice)

haha tou'che

This is my first post here, so be gentle.

I watched most of the episodes this season, and I loved seeing the different singers perform. I figured that Lukas had it in the bag early based on the comments that the band was giving him, but so what? The band has the right to pick their singer. I have read criticisms that the show was just a money grab, and it was not about promoting new talent. However, this seems a bit jaded to me because without this show I would not have had the chance to hear Toby's brilliant original, or see Dilana, Storm, and Magni's killer performances. Just because the network makes a few bucks on the show (as they do with most shows) does not mean that it did not help some previously unknown talented individuals.

Having said this, I think the issue with using a reality show to pick your singer is bound to alienate some potential fans. All of the singers in the contest had big fan bases, and the fans of the singers who did not win may not jump on the band's bandwagon after they selected Lukas. I have to wonder whether they would have been better off just picking a singer without the show, like most bands do. It seems like a huge gamble, because the show exposes millions of new fans to the band, but 4/5ths of them may be unhappy with the final result. How many will jump on the bandwagon again once the tour starts?

Thanks for the forum David, you are a classy dude!

OMG, that sounds freaking amazing! Thanks for the link.

For the record, I peaked at every post written since last night.

I'd like to point out that some people should seriously let it go and get a life.

I'd really like to point that out...

but since I read EVERY F*CKING POST on this blog, maybe I should just SHUT THE F*CK UP and listen to my own advice before giving it to others.

Wanted Toby to win cause he's Aussie and cute. Someone nice to look at and dream about. We all need to dream. But doesn't really matter. They won't come to Australia. And I wouldn't go to see them now anyway Lukas is so not my type. Didn't really like the Supernova songs. Lukas looks entertaining with all the clothes and make up but Toby embraced and acknowleged the audience. I'm sure when he gets home us Aussies will look after him. He is so our type. Fresh fun and talented. Still singing his song.

REALLY!!!

I mean it!

Well, F*CK IT, let's take one more swing at it:

"Squid, everyone has to grow up sometime"
Why, so I can wear Dockers like you?
Thanks for the advice dad.

Now Squidly, no one is asking you to wear a wool vest and corduroys to work, listen to Céline Dion and start sucking on peppermints
(altough it might be a good change of breath for you after all those hours spent sucking on sperm...whale)

But you could start by outgrowing your Pampers.

Come on, man! Join the DarkSide! It's not about the hate, it's about... well, I don't know what it's about, but it's a lot more fun than being remembered as an unclef*cker!

You know how the song goes, don't you?

RT, if you're 'on', loved the memorabilia, especially the Seizure Girl! Will have to work on some more. And the RCMP and Lukastank were gems!

Holy drama!Those Suave Porn tracks kill.Fuck me whaddya know I knew what I was talking about with Lukas sounding killer recorded.Hey you know who else knows t
