Hey Dave!

You are the man!

I'm having a great day thank u.

G-

Sweet! Lyle here, so far the Supernova track sucked. I was def feeling Lukas more last week as the frontman for this band than Magni.

Yeehah! Dave's touring with SN!

Can't wait to see you and Lukas in Toronto, man!

I'm in LA, so it hasn't aired here yet (although I know what's going to happen). I love the graphic you included in this post. Classic. You da man, baby.

Hey Dave! Loved SN's original song tonight! HOLY SHIT!! TPC IS TOURING WITH SN!!!! AWESOME!!!!! And here comes Toby - he definately deserves this encore!!!! I cannot wait for this tour!!!!
And you know - regarding the show - and the panel - you guys aren't just auditioning singers for SN, you are providing a free rock-n-roll clinic to anyone who wants to be a performer. I think it's great!

I think I'm going to go with Toby. I'm a little late in the game, so that prediction isn't based on much, but there you have it.

Personally, I don't believe that ANY of the girls ever had a chance.

Dave, how's the album selling?

Hey Dave! Alice in Janes! Alice in Janes! I can't to see you and rest of The Panic Channel on October 8th in Houston, Texas!!

To Kate:

The way it was
The way it is
The way it will always be

Brothers in Arms

My you find solace that I and my family salute your husbands honor, valor and sacrifice.

HEY DAVE!!!! I already read the spoilers so I am totally bummed... but, how do you feel?.... are you going to invite, on tour, the eliminated contestant?

The supernova track was awesome!

Awesome news that you will be touring with Supernova too. Now all we need is for the tour to stop in WINNIPEG!!!

Good choice on Toby getting the encore. Although I do have to say "go Lukas". (being Canadian and all...)

The supernova track was awesome!

OOPS! I can't WAIT to see YOU and the rest of The Panic Channel in Houston, Texas! I love how you call into the The Buzz! It's soo nice to hear your sexy voice on my radio in the morning! :)

ohhhhh...Storm ruined my favorite song....

I wish I could say that the girls ever had a chance, but I don't think they did.

I didn't watch RockStar INXS, somehow, I caught the show this season and became a fan solely due to Dilana. Without a doubt, I will buy whatever CD she has out and would absolutely love to see her in concert. I just think she rocks the house.

With Lukas, he's cool but I can't, for the life of me, understand him when he sings (sounds mumbled), Toby doesn't do/have anything outstanding.

I love Storm but can't claim she kept me glued to the TV or anything.

Re Magni, love the guy, think he's dynamic but, again, he doesn't have that dirty/rock-n-roll feel that you love to see on stage. He's almost perfect!

I do feel like Dilana got a seriously raw deal from SN - - I imagine she isn't the only person to stick her foot in her mouth but to publicly beat her up, 2 weeks in a row, was too much drama for me. In fact, for the first time this week, I didn't watch the show but caught it via the internet. Maybe they did this to ensure she loses votes, not sure, but I find it fascinating that the public will choose/vote for someone based on what they perceive the person to be like vs. pure rock-n-roll.

Peace! Abby

Soooo what does 6767 stand for? Sorry if you have covered this a million times.
I think you are the same ripe ol'age as me so I have a guess as to what it stands for.

Great sight, great show and seemingly a great person. Thanks for all the time you give to your fans.

Hey Dave,

I love Rockstar (both series) and I would love to see a ALL STAR Rockstar series.. I would love to see the top 6 from each series (excluding the winners) get to come back and have another shot at making it with another awesome band.. perhaps even the Houseband??? any thoughts on this idea??.. I know I personally would love to see Marty, Jordis, Susie, Mig, Ty and the top 6 or so from this season come back and belt out their music again!! they are all sooooo talented and I LOVE watching them rock!

Wow, touring with Supernova....wow! Speechless Dave, just speechless! How does Supernova feel about opening for The Panic Channel?:)

In all seriousness, it actually might entice people to buy tickets. Let me know when your coming to Florida.

Still love ya!

Since we have 2 years of shows now, we know how to win on RockStar.

Bag on the other singer, whine, show up unprepared, complain, and write really crappy lyrics. It also helps if you completely forget the words to the songs you're singing.

Petulant, coddled, demanding, superior. That's a RockStar.

Professionals need not apply.

That was quite the performance from Dilana. I didn't like the song exactly, but she does have an amazing voice. I agree with Abby when she said she would buy a CD of hers. Absolutly. Although I love her voice, I don't think she is Supernova front person material.

Storm was the best performer last night...She has a great attitude...I like your comments they are usually right on....keep on keeping on...

Laughing out fuckin loud at calling M.W. gay. You just made my day. Thanx.

hugz, clk

Great performances all around.

While I really have no real desire to see SN ... the chance to see The Panic Channel is something I just can't pass up!!

Looking forward to the January 24 show at Massey Hall in Toronto!

I just started watching last week cause I saw an awesome performance by Lukas while channel surfing. Now I'm hooked, so far I'm shocked Lukas is in the bottom three. I read your post and man you're human you have an opinion just like all the other people in the world. But I do believe yours would be a more educated opinion given your resume! Hope to hear more from your band soon, maybe a stop on the east coast? One Love.

You know that girl boy thing these TV producers have in keeping the audience hooked is really dumb just about as dumb as the midget mexican white gay man\'s acting ability. Did you see that pitiful performance of Navarro with that beyond lame attempt to act spontaneous and get up and perform with Storm. Wow, that looked live - NOT. That was as fake as Storm\'s rubber tits. Now tonight she goes home. Even with Navarro and Lee oozing over her performances they send her home. What a bunch of pansies to keep Pukis over Storm.

I will sum it up this way, Lee has problems with women. The record is clear: failed marriage, children\'s lives in shambles, court appearances, convictions and jail time. This soda jerk just can not deal with strong women. Look at how Dilana was edited into a muttering emotional basket case. Gee, I wonder what Tommy\'s muttering emotional state was when Bubba told him to bend over in the LA County lock-up?

Storm you rock and you do not need the midget mexican white gay man or those store bought rubber tits to prove to me that you know how to rock. Nor do you need these over the hill has-beens. I am glad you did not make it with these losers because you are better than all of them.

Please take your new found public and Rock-it. Now get out there and sell that single - I will buy the album.

Dave Navarro\'s Tool: Mr. Majestic

===============
Dave even you and The Panic Channel can not save this tour. Might as well call this RockStar:PanicSuperDixieChicksHouseBandNova ya\'all are gona need smaller venues. Someone is gona take a serious cash hit on this deal.

Dave thanks for the quicky SRL!
I'm a little bummed about TPC going out with SN. Seriously.

Have a ball tonight, kick ass!

Well - we all knew someone was leaving tonight. I'm really sorry to see her go - but confident it won't be the last time we see her. I'll be a Storm fan forever!!

Hey Dave and all the 6767 family...I need to clarify the post in the last blog..It was NOT my husband. It was a girl named DESSA..she posted the other day here and I saw a post with her name on RockStar and was curious to what she wrote. I wasn't prepared for what I read and thought Dave would like to know.
In Sorrow,
Kate

Hey Dave~
I just wanted to thank you for playing some songs and doing a shout out for our Troops...My husband is one of "our troops", and as of right now he was suppose to come home tommorow, Tuesday the 5th. I just received word that he won't be coming home now... No, he isn't dead but has been seriously wounded. I don't know how badly, but obviously hurt enough to keep him in Iraq. I just wanted to thank you for acknowledging the troops. Be well...and thanks again.

"Hello Everyone~

Almost none of you know me as I have only posted here a few times, and the few that I interacted with, well..it was more often than not some of the best fun I have had. For those of you who haven't read the thread I started a few days ago "I confess..as well", my name is Dessa. As of 1645 this evening, est., my husband Thomas died of his injuries suffered in Iraq. To all of you who sent prayers and best wishes, THANK YOU.

I am sharing this with all of you strangers because prior to Thomas getting hurt and dying, I had come on this site to hopefully meet and interact with people with the same interest as me. RockStar SuperNova. Well that is not what I found. I found people here being so disgustingly nasty, brutal and cruel towards very talented people that that no one here has ever met. The hate and viciousness is mind boggling and disturbing. I am writing this because in all of the shock I can't help but direct some of my anger at you all. MY HUSBAND DIED TO GIVE YOU YOUR FREEDOM. TO PROTECT YOU ALL, AND TO GIVE YOU THE RIGHT OF FREE SPEECH. And free speech you have. What a shame that you choose to use such a precious gift to be so hateful and hurtful. You all must be very proud of yourselves. To be so judgmental, hateful and vile...definitely traits I am sure you will pass on to your children. Definitely something to aspire to. Definitely something to be proud of. How very creative you all are in your self-righteousness. It must be wonderful to be so perfect and flaw free.. Can I come live in your world? Maybe my husband would still be alive if he hadn't chosen to enlist to protect all of us. Funny as I write this through my tears and anger, I can't help think what crap. From where I sit, this world is it's on worst enemy and no amount of wars are going to change it. From this little window, well I say to hell with all of you. None of you deserve the deaths of the men and women fighting for your right to FREE SPEECH. You are all abusive, cruel and hateful. You think the Middle East faction is hell...well...welcome to America, Canada and Europe because we are no better. Dressed in our fancy clothes, driving out big cars, living in our nice homes...Yeah we are just so much better aren't we? NOT. We are just dressed prettier. So as you sit safely behind your anonymous screens spewing your foulness at people who don't deserve it...remember this..you only have that right because of the many deaths of the men and woman who are fighting for you. SHAME ON YOU for your horrible, obscene, abusive behavior. I am so ashamed that my husband had to die in order to protect the likes of YOU.

With that said..think before you write...think before you speak and think about how lucky you are that you have that one specific right...TO THINK!

*gone for good*"

wha??

she doesn't win, but you all want to record with her??? Isn't that the point of winning in the first place?????

Raw Deal tonight! I really could have handled Lukas going home. I prefer all the rest over him. Can't say as I would buy a record if Lukas is the front man, but I am sure glad I found Storm she has a new huge fan.
Christine

Janet Charleton -- you're a douche and shoult STFU.

Kate.... condolances, but I don't know what that has to do with venting over the Suprenova elimination night.

poor storm getting stuck in the bottom 3 with the wrong 2...and at the wrong time as she was killing the last couple of weeks. by those alone Dilana should have been packing but its an overall and Dilana was more consistent through the begining of the show with the chilling performances for the judges. storm is better off since at the end of the day she was better as STORM LARGE than as part of Supernova. Lets hope her website puts THOSE photos back up now that she is off :)

look forward to seeing TPC in worcester now.

i won't vent. i will save that for the others. (they do it enough anyway) i just want to say, i think the wrong one went home tonight. dammit.

I gotta say, it just boggles the mind. What Supernova wants for a lead singer -- and the party/frat rock they're obviously getting read to play -- is not really my thing. I'll go see The Panic Channel and I'll enjoy Storm's solo album. But I'm not really into Tommy Lee's brand of butt rock.

Honestly, I don't have any favorites right now. Everybody has shown their strengths and weaknesses.

DILANA
She has the edge factor that you mention. She puts a lot of energy! in her performances. Sometimes she looks a bit tense and worried due to the pressure from the media, the fans and SuperNova. And also sometimes she speaks without thinking and that can cause her a lot of trouble and maybe the elimination. Anyways she is good!, I liked a lot her version of "mother mother", I think that was awesome!

LUKAS
He has a lot of presence on stage and a lot of edge factor too. Personally I think that his voice most of the time is too soft and mellow like a "Julio Iglesias" kind of thing. Nevertheless he has a lot of confidence in himself and he has shown that he has a lot! of leadership and professionalism. He is a strong candidate for SN.

MAGNI
He has shown that he can do covers very well like any of the remaining five. He has a strong voice and he also is very confident on what he does. Another good aspect about him is that he has a lot humility. However I don't know if he is at the level of singing for a super band like SN. Maybe if he is not eliminated tonight he can prove that he has what it takes.

STORM
I liked a lot her original song "ladylike" more than any of the others. That was AWESOME! dude. The whole song sounded great and also it was very catchy!
She has shown that she can contribute with some writing skills to the SN band. In addition she is very professional, easy to work with and very hot! (that is a big plus in the entertainment industry).

TOBY
He is a great performer. He has evolved a lot! during his last performances, and he seems more confident on stage. His original song was really cool! too. I think that he would have been perfect for the INXS band from last year.
If he is not eliminated today, maybe he can prove that he really can lead a heavy metal band instead of a pop band.

That's it!

Good luck! Dave

I aprreciate and value your comments Dave. They are fair and honest! Your opinions usually match mine! Thank you for allowing us into your head,you are appreciated! Also, you do in many ways make the show!!!

I just about fell off the couch when it was announced that PC is touring with Supernova. I'll see you on the road, Mr. Navarro!

Storm will make some good music on her own.. I really think that Toby is gonna win.. If not Toby then it might just be Dilana..

and let me quickly add, to get rid of Storm for gimping Dilana and all the emotional baggage she brings is just asinine.

I can't say I'm surprised that Storm's the one to go, however, I'm really sad that I had to see her leave before she got to get onstage with Supernova.

She's a brilliant musician, nonetheless, and hey Dave, I'd love to see you bring Storm along on a Camp Freddy night! Please keep us updated if that ever happens. I'd fucking pay to see that shit.

Also, bring her on the SRL show! I tuned in for the Ryan Star interview last week and I would definitely tune in for a Storm interview. Keep us posted, doodle!

sweet! as soon as i heard TPC was going on tour with SN i ran to my computer and bought tix! see u in orlando hotness!

it's too bad that storm's personality really started to shine through in her performances so late in the game. she really rocked with her original song last night!! in the beginning i was a big lukas and delana fan, but i'm really migrating towards toby now. so...my vote's for toby.

Surprised Lukas was in the b3 but also glad because I got to see him perform again!! This late in the game with the votes so close, no big deal. He was better tonight than last night. I love headspin and I'm glad he got to perform it live again. More international exposure.

Loved how Toby and Magni were singing along.

Storm is a class act.

Hey Dave that was real classy of you the send off you gave Storm that was by far the longest goodbye given to anyone yet.I wasn't a big fan of her musically but she is a real classy chick I hated to see her go.

Too bad about the Dilanadrama and her getting hurt otherwise I woulda given her the axe.I kept watching the show and all I could of think of watching her is "hey it's Jimmy from South Park"

a Storm Large SRL show would be terrific. I am still shocked at how much venum has come to the blog in the past couple of weeks. Rockstar must be a brilliant format of a show if people hate it enough to come on here and say how much something sucks, while tuning in every week

supernova is lucas
he's the one
the others are good, but he's great
storm was full of grace and presence
it was magni's turn to go
but the voters didn't want him to leave yet
that's my venting...i agree with you!!

Hey Dave -

What do you think about Magni saying that Lukas should win?

(he said this on ET Canada tonite)

I can't say I'm not dissapointed that Storm is gone but I'm sure that she is good with it. She showed a maturity that is hard not to admire.

Dave, you seemed genuine in your comments and for that I commend you.

Storm wasn't right for the band and I'm sure a lot of her fans knew it... I'm sure that we've not heard the last from her.

I'm not going to compare Wish you Were Here to I Want You to Want Me because they're both caught on tape forever. Those performances will speak for themseves.

I actually had a tear in my eye when I saw Jason wipe a tear from his eye.

Thanks for the roller coaster ride... Even if it didn't end the way I wanted.

I got say I am not a Lukas fan. I'm in the minority, and I know that. I was hoping he would be sent packing. I would buy the Supernova's CD with any singer but Lukas.
1 - Toby
2 - Magni
3 - Storm
4 - Dilana

I am totally on the RAND TRAIN. Toby has the energy, talent, and personality that needs to win the contest.

I liked the choose this night. Magni all the way to the finals. That's all I expected from him. Now I can be happy about this season ... that is if Lukas will not win. That would ruen the whole season.

I'm a Magni fan but I don't actually think he should be with Supernova. But the greatest hit would be Magni and the houseband!! that is something that would sell!

interesting that magni got the Supernova track and not storm tonight since you knew they werent going to double up with someone who had done one already. it was a bad sign for storm to start the night.

I am sad to see Storm go. I didn't like her at first with her buggy eye thing-- but once Dave called her on it, she has not done it again. I think her original was awesome and she should have gotten to sing with SN-- or at least gotten the encore. Anyway, I was a huge Dilana fan from day one and now I'm not so sure. Toby is looking pretty good to me too. I think they will be the final 2.

LOL - You're tops, Dave. I wish I could be at these tapings, but I must live vicariously through your eyes and the eyes of those who report from the audience, as the price of a plane ticket out of Alaska is about financially equivalent to a car payment on a brand new Lamborghini!

My mother and I have found a common interest and we will be enjoying the show tonight. And may all the Trolls who post on this thread and others (yeah, you know who you are) and bash Dave on his own site ... grow up.

Nothing to vent... Rockstar has always been a popularity contest (and not even an accurate one) not a talent contest. No surprise given who the bottom 3 were who the choice to go home was. All it takes to get to the end is a bunch of 12 year olds with nothing better to do while school is out to stay up voting all night. Of course now that school is in Dilana and Lukas fell into the bottom 3 also but already had enough momentum from the prior weeks to get carried over. It's not about the music, it's just about the benjamins. At least Storm got your ass up off that chair one time before she left.

I just started really liking Storm and i'm so dissapointed that she had to leave! (But it had to be someone right?)
But you and Supernova handeled it real well & was real nice to her about it, she couldnt have had a better exit.

I personally think Dilana should have left out of the bottom 3.

My choice to win is Toby!! Is performance was crazy hot! Loved it!!!

I just wanted to see my girl for one more week. Why bore me to death with Magni when he CLEARLY wants to go home?

Oh well. I'm not a supergenius TV producer, so I guess the rationale behind not keeping a tall hottie with fire on TELEVISION for a week is beyond me.

I have been a Dilana fan from day 1. I am so happy with song choice. There is no loser in the 5 tonight, even though Storm left! I still do not feel Magni or Toby has what it takes for this band. Lukas, I have trouble understanding many times...Dilana has almost self-destructed, but I still think she is best choice for band...hell she is learning as all of the others have, her lessons are just different...she has been consistant vocally throughout, being in bottom 3 has NOTHING to do with performances! Can we not put the "drama" aside and go back to performances???

Have fun tonight! Glad to hear the lineup for the SN tour. Maybe if they come to the midwest I'll get to see a show.

Take care. Toodles

how is the lineup for the tour going to shake out, has that been discussed yet? will it be house band, TPC, Supernova?

does anyone know why both storm and jason cried at the end of 'wish you were here'? is there a story there that i didn't hear?

Hey Dave,

I think its awesome TPC will be touring with SN! Now, if I can only get a ticket to the Toronto show. Waiting to see if Lukas wins!

Interesting, I jut saw ET Canada and Storm gave praise to Lukas. Magni said he thinks Lukas should win and that he "fits SN like a glove". Magni hasn't even left the mansion yet! I find it interesting how the rockers who have left the mansion have all said Lukas should win and lately, even the rockers inside the house are praising him.

GO LUKAS!

Here's DESSA'S other post.
Kate

"Hey Dave~
I also wanted to say thank you for remembering and reminding your listeners that our troops are indeed defending our rights and with that comes our responsibilities to police ourselves and to always remember that kindness goes alot further in opinions than hate and visciousness.
Thanks again,

I am not sorry Storm went home. I was voting for either her, or Magni to go. I'm thrilled it wasn't Lukas. I'm really glad he got to sing headspin again.

Awesome, Awesome show!!!

********

Manq here

Exit Storm. Dark day at my house.

Manq out

*********

Hey Dave,

I just thought i would stop in and say that Lukas is the man! He can take any song and rearrange it and make it sound sometimes better. He has such a presence on that stage and you never know what he is going to do next. He has shown his many sides. I think Lukas is the one they need for the singer and hell man can that man write a good song.

Dilana Rocked.......SHES BACK!!!!!!

Hey Dave:

My wife and I Tivo the show every week, and today my 3 year old son decided he wanted to watch the singing. Lately he has become very interested in our music, and am more than willing to share with him.

After seeing you on stage with Storm last night he turned and said to me that it must be hot on the show. I asked him why and he said that the guy wearing black had his shirt open so it must be hot. I thought it was pretty funny.

At the end of the show we asked him whose music he liked the best. He sat and thought for a second and then said "Lucas, because he has the better music." I just about fell out of me seat.

I cannot wait to watch tonights show with him tomorrow to see what he says next.

Thanks for everything you do and feel proud that your show has made my 3 year old into a budding rocker.

I really thought Dilana deserved to go home tonight, but then again Storm will be much more successful without Supernova. She's such a professional, so talented, and I cannot wait to hear more of her solo work.

Also, wasn't Toby's encore just a little predictable? Toby's gonna run into the crowd, Toby's gonna sing in the back, Toby's gonna sing in front of SN, now Toby's in the crowd. Even the camera people have him figured out already. I mean, I love Toby (and thought it was rad that he dedicated the song to Steve-o) and it's OBVIOUS that SN loves Toby, but come ON! Toby needs a new trick!

Supernova's a frat boy band though, so my money is on Toby.

I honestly feel like anything I have to say about the crock of shit it is for Storm to lose out to Dilana at this point is self-explanitory; why they chose to keep D is beyond me. She has shown serious lack of creativity, an inability to handle the pressures of being a performer in the public eye; time after time. Once you think she's "redeemed" herself she's saying Fuck You to the viewers in a lyrically predictable fashion; a culmination of both her weaknesses in one. She did some interesting covers and early on I even liked her a little bit, but after time and pressure she broke down. I could understand Storm bowing out at number three or four, the other final five have elements of what Supernova wants, and that's fine, but Dilana is just a mess and it's either a complete insult, or a complete lack of creative judgement to chose her over someone like Storm who has always been a fun, rocking, creative force, with immense maturity in not only keeping herself in line, but supporting her housemates as well. Thank you for introducing me to Storm guys, she has a new fan in me, but that's where my appreciation ends.

I think I'm bias or something but I was hoping toby was going to do well from day one (it's an aussie thing..). Lately I've been thinking that he has a really, really good chance of winning this thing. I'd die happy! Go toby :)

AGAIN, the wrong one goes home. Need I state the reasons? I think not.

I'm not getting warm fuzzies from the SN music. The style is all over the place. Obviously, we can't figure out what they want in a lead singer. Do they know what they want? I give up.

Thanks for your continued opinions. Don't see why you can't have them (opinions) like everyone else. D.

Hi Dave, haven't posted on your blog but have loved checking it out during the Rockstar run.

I gotta say, I was terribly disappointed to see the band drop Storm from the show. I never knew her before Rockstar, but she quickly became the very reason why I watched. I'm heartbroken, man. I wanted to see her sing in the finale, even if she didn't win.

What makes it worse is the fact that Magni essentially gets her space in the finale, and that guy has been boring me to tears every single week. I don't hate him at all - he's obviously a very professional singer - but he does not inspire any level of excitement with his performances.

Anyways, Storm's performance of Suffragette City with you on guitar was definitely the best performance from the past two seasons. You guys have obvious stage chemistry together (hell, Storm has a tactical-nuke's worth of stage chemistry on her own!) so maybe we'll see you as a guest star sometime in a Storm and The Balls show?...

Storm is a perfect combination of talent, energy, creativity, showmanship and presence. The only other rocker that comes close to having all those things goin' on is Lukas. Magni turns every song into a joyless enterprise that feels like homework. Toby is energetic but ultimately a little vapid. Dilana has a spectacular voice and presence but clearly can't really contribute to the songwriting process with much credibility. So I'm rooting for Lukas now - rock on you crazy Canuck.

Peace out

Well, I'm sorry to see Storm go, she's a class act both musically and what we saw of her otherwise. And I hope you weren't just being nice on the whole backing her up thing, because the track would be fucking awesome as you're both wicked talented.

And then there were four...and we will tune in next week, both to RS:SN and the blog.

Dave,
They are all great singers and they all have a chance to amke it big. Storms original last night was great and I am not a fan, but she will do better on her own. I can see who really wants it though. Check out the expressions and you will notice who craves to perform with the band.

I doubt Tommy Lee's personal life plays a huge stake in whether they pick a female lead singer for their band or not. That's like saying there were no female singers in Queen because Freddy Mercury was gay :/

This is a three way street here because Jason and Gilby each have a third of the say no matter what people have conspired to believe.

People must drive themselves mental dreaming this shit up for reasons as to why a woman may or may not front this band. Blaming Tommy's personal life just takes the cake.

Dave I was pleased to hear you would be joining the Supernova tour. I will definately be out there to see you guys because no matter what I think these guys are alot of fun and I love The Panic Channel.

have a great day and thanks for keeping this going <3

/cheers

Hey Dave,
AWESOME!!! show tonight. I loved Toby's encore and Magni's performance and its a total bummer that Storm had to go. But i guess it was her time. AS for the Houseband, TPC, and Supernova touring later on it's a MASSIVE bummer that u guys wont be coming to Winnipeg, Canada. Is there any way that dates will be added as you have said that u enjoy/looking forward to touring for a while?

I never knew storm before but I think she is awesome and will be buying her CD. Dave you need to get something started with Storm! Not only is she hot, but you both have awesome chemistry together on stage. I'd buy that any day.

I think I will only follow SN if they are fronted by Toby.

There is an upside and a down side to these shows. The fans definately develop opinions about who they "get" and who they don't, so SN needs to pick wisely or lose developing a fanbase. Just because some loon votes as many times as their fingers can type does not mean that they are the greates in the bunch (Multi-voters figure into Lukas's fame) JMHO but I do not enjoy his style, he mumbles and I have never liked "his" versions of the covers, especially Livin on a Prayer. He may be a nice guy, but I think he needs to be a solo act and not the front for SN.
R

i think dilana over storm was based on the number of performance that dilana had that the judges raved over. as far as lack of creativity goes, and i hate to defend her since i dont really dig her that much, but its something easy to get over since they wrote a whole cd without her already...its just one less person to cut in on royalties so that in the end isnt that big of a deal. they can write with butch again if there is to be another disc

Complete BS.. Love ya Storm your better off without that band!! It should have been Dilana whose version of I want you to want me made me literaly puke. (Having morning sickness may have contributed to that.) Don't get me started on Skunk boy. I can't understand why Storm was cut after having a kick butt original. She is awesome!!! The only reason why she was in the bottom three last week was because the stupid site crashed, and millions of storm fans and I were unable to vote for her. I will not be watching the finale. Nothing to keep my attention. I know that this isn't your fault Dave, but I wish you would tell those jackasses that they made a mistake and it should have be Dilana.

Dave,

I want to thank you for the part you play in this show. I watch every episode last season, and every one this season. I have a great respect for you, your band, all the members of Supernova and the contestants. Storms departure is bitter sweet it sucks that she’s going home, (In my humble opinion she could kick Dilana's ass all up and down that stage every day of the week and twice on Sunday) that being said I am relieved however that she will not be in Supernova and will return to The Balls. They are a great band in their own right and they deserve to stay together and rock their way to fame. I'm going to miss seeing Storm (even though the show is almost over anyway) I live WAY too far from Portland to be able to see her live so thanks to you and Rockstar for bringing her to me. I wish the best for all the remaining rockers and Supernova.

Thanks Again, from a "Chick with Sticks"
Bernadette

p.s.
I've been a fan ever since the first time I herd a Jane's Addiction song keep on doing what you do, you make this world just a little more tolerable for your fans. And if you could be so kind as to tell Tommy thank you for me, hes the reason I picked up a pair of drum sticks.

I was sad to see Storm go. I would have preferred to see Magni go out, like you Dave. But with all of Iceland voting for him, there was no chance of him leaving.

I want Lukas or Toby to win. I don't like Dilana very much anymore.

I'm not one to comment on your blog or open my mouth about the show to anyone because of all the opinions.

I was suprised that lukas was in the bottom three tonight, I straight up thought his song was heartfelt and really he started to open up in a way he hadn't through the journey thus far. Plus when it ranked everyones place in the early votes on the show; Lukas was first. His redo of Headspin was better then the night befores and was really rad I thought, and he definately saved himself.

Magni I thought deserved to be in the bottom three he's a good singer and I hold nothing against him but hearing him with Supernova tonight confirmed what I already thought, the band doesn't sound how you would THINK a band that those guys would be apart of. His voice just doesn't go with supernova in my opinion :]

Storm was the one chick I loved in the entire show, and I was really sad to see her go, but once they said it was lukas and not magni in the bottom three I knew it'd be her going. She's got a powerful as fuck voice, its beautiful and still rock n roll at the same time which really is a total package. She may not be in the band, but she's got everyone's support which honestly might be way better in the long run.

Dilana, what can we say at this point. When it gets to a point where when you go to just see what people thought of the elimination night and everyone is whining about how the girl is faking her injury and is using crutches for attention you really know how incredibly silly people can be. I thought her cover of cheap trick was good, I think she has a really interesting and unique voice, sometimes she makes things too literal and twists songs in ways that they almost shouldn't be.

Toby totally did rad on the encore tonight, although I think storm's original was way radder. Tobys was a song you could sing along too which I think was the point :]

Who knows who'll win at this point. Its up to Tommy, Gilby, and Jason. I know i'm rooting for Lukas but at the same time I'm also rooting for whoever is best for these guys.

& Finally :] I'm really excited that The Panic Channel is gonna open for Supernova :] I wasn't sure if I was going to go see them but now i'm thinking I definately will!

much love and respect man,

All I can say is wow... that was heart breaking ... I love Lukas and hope he gets the gig in the end but even still seeing Storm go home tonight after she sang her heart out ... it just made my eyes well up with tears. She was truely wonderful last night and tonight. I'll miss her next week. You and Storm had great chemistry last night ... You guys rock!

D fits SN. She totally had the crowd going. Watch out next week, here she comes.

Hey Dave
i dont know if you will read this as seeing you have so many comments and posts already but i attend Quinnipiac University in conneticut and am i huge fan of the Panic Channel. i saw you guys with my girlfriend at the Avalon because i live on Long Island. the show was amazing and you guys are my favorite band because you guys interacted with me i mean i caught Steve's pick that he threw out into the audience and shook yours and Steve's hand an that was a dream come true because ur my major guitar influence.
anyway i am getting off point, my point is that i have my own radio show at Quinnipiac and am looking so foward to spreading the Panic throughout the campus. i am also going to be in promotions and i know you guys might be going on tour so what i was thinkin is that if you guys come to NY of course i will see you but if you wouldnt mind comming maybe into the station to do an interview or if i could meet you guys in the city and condut an interview after your next NYC show. my email is jonathan.fast@quinnipiac.edu or nirvanakid12@hotmail.com
i dont know if you will read this seeing you have so many posts but i would like to thank you for your time. you guys rock
much love
Jon Fast

Shelly - 6767 is Dave's birthday 06/07/67.

Welcome to the club!

Hey Laryssa...I TOTALLY agree. I wish the tour would bring them to Winnipeg! I would so be first in line for tickets, I know they could fill up the MTS center! Here is keeping my fingers crossed. I

Hey Dave - No need to vent...Storm went home, it was the guys choice and it's over. She'll have a great career on her own. Her original song was awesome. I wasn't planning to attend the SuperNova event until.....TPC announces they will also be performing, now there is NO WAY I'd miss the opportunity to see you guys perform. Who knows if I'd get another opportunity here in MN to see TPC. I am hoping though that Toby wins so that I can see him front SuperNova, that would make the night perfection! Thanx for all you do.
Love from MN

Really liked Magni's voice on the song, Gilby seemed to avoid him like Jill. Not sure what was going on with that BUT Magni just fits better with the House Band.

Toby's encore was great. He is just a fun performer and does not seem to take things too seriously.

Loved Lukas and Storm's B3 performances. Wish Dilana went home tonight instead.

Dave -

Don't know how you wade through all the shit and pre-pubescent "he sucks, she sucks" stuff in here... then, without missing a beat, some friendly fan chat, some heavy deep shit people need to get off their chest... then personal questions, then obsessed fan, then some porn star rumor... etc, etc...

But I have to say.. you've made a fan of me. You treat every post with the same respect it deserves, and that takes both restraint, professionalism, and sincerity. I don't believe you are a "public-image-consultant" creation like so many "celebrities" around you... you really seem to be as you seem, and that's a straight forward, calls 'em likes I sees 'em, cool dude.

Anyway... long winded way to say; I think you're a good shit. This coming from some lame-ass 30-something ad exec... as if I get a vote.

Also want to say, it's weird, but "67" always comes up in my life... Not the least of which, I need to send a shout out to the last time the Leafs won the cup. Happy 40th next year, by the way - for you and the Leafs.

Cheers,

Pash.

Dave, it's so cool how you embraced Storm these past few weeks. It's absolutely preposterous they kept Dilana over Storm, but whatever man. I literally laughed out loud during D's alleged "performance". So glad Storm is done with this so I don't have to watch next week. Peace.

Well, THe only reason I liked this show was because I found it on msn. I saw the blonde and I was hooked. I went to youtube and typed in Storm Large INC and Storm Large and the Balls.I got to see her nipple fly out on her song Beatiful day (a song about Cocaine mmmm).Its there if you look for it. I really liked her stuff on youtube more than what I saw on the show until Last night. Loved the original only if she wasnt edited.
Anyway my point. She is real. Supernova got the hint that the direction they were going was not a good busniess and reputatation descion.I can tell its a different style then they were trying to pull off. :Hint if you want to come close to Velvet Revolver or The Panic Channel ,Janes ,listen to the radio a bit more so I guess they got it. or Dave told them they sucked to their face and gave them a dose of reality. Hats off to Storm I hope she makes a bigger career after all of this shit.And what the fuck is the idea of giving a Australian a Hyundai, That fucker will get torn up . For me the show is over . Fuck everyone left. I can't stand Dalana. Lukus has shitty vocals. Toby would be a good Billy Idol imperssonator. Z needs to do the comeback special I need my fix.Magni come on man LIve is over with man . Let them rest in piece. It was fun Im glad I learned about this blog . My band is a big fan of Panic Channel. Its like a Deep Ellum (DALLAS)band from Cali. ITs very awesome you guys stole our style and image.

Why Does allof iceland have to vote for magnie?

I would prefer him OUT!

At least storm is out.

Well i don't want to say who goes home in case some ppl haven't seen the show yet..as i get digital cable it airs at 6 pm for me..however i am very saddened by the performer who leaves and i really do hope that you do guitar on that performers track!Anyways i will truly miss seeing that performer on the show..but can't wait to buy that performers cd when it comes out.All the best Dave..can you please tell Tommy to come onstage in a fig leaf for next week!

I was surprised to hear you are touring with Supernova. I respect your music so much more than their style!

Magni did a great job with the song. I get what people are saying though about him not being exciting enough on stage. I really like him though and just like a lot of other people look forward to seeing him with the HouseBand.

Really sorry to see Storm go tonight! She fucking rocks and I will be following her career!

Ok, warning this is kinda longwinded...read at your own peril.

Wow! What a great show..Like with Ryan I think it was the right decision. They both are great but honestly I am looking to hearing what they do solo more than what I think they would do in the confines of SuperNova...feel the same way about Lucas too. I LOVED the new SuperNova track...my favorite yet. Magni did a great job. My gut feeling for who will win is Toby...he was immediately my favorite the first week. That has changed about 3-4 times and come back around. I think he would be incredible with SuperNova.

Ok beyond the perfomance aspect the second I hear that The Panic Channel is touring with SN I leap to the computer to check tourdates again...hoping for some new dates nearby (Asheville would be a big ass stretch...the Black Crowes and Warren Hayes are bout the biggest bands that play here anymore..but I often travel to Greenville or more often Charlotte or Atlanta to see shows...and Raleigh, Charleston and Nashville are also workable.) sadly, nothing closer than about 12 hours away.. :( <---Julie's sad face.

But I HAVE to see this!!!! So that involves flying somewhere...and if Im going to fly somewhere it might as well be somewhere good like HOME to California or John's home, Vegas!!!

John found a date in California...in my hometown of San Diego...(long story short...born there..moved when I was 4 to Nor Cal...havent made it back since..sentimental memories of my deceased dad..you get the picture) Then I saw the date...Feburary 25!!!...my birthday!!! John then said the 3 little words that reminded me why I left California to be with him in this godforsaken corner of the world where no one I want to see comes!: "WE ARE GOING" (for the record I remember it about 7 million times a day..but this one was extra special)
Its gonna take some fancy financial juggling but it doesnt get better than going home on your birthday to see your favorite artists perform! :) <---Julie's happy face

P.S. Hope the Suicide Girls show is off the hook! (and I also hope there are lots of pics for all of us that couldnt make it)

I can't believe it's September already...know what I mean?

Sad, but not surprised about Storm. You know I started blasting away in comparison of other contestants and SN's bullshit. It was obvious they were priming Storm for B3 since "I Will Survive". But, I'm so grateful, I got to see her get a chance at doing her original. I've never heard of her before SN and loved listening to her originals on YouTube. So to see her do "ladylike" on TV was special. To see her kickass doing Bowie with you on lead was also great.

She did the best performance AGAIN at bottom three. Excellent cover of "Wish You Were Here" ... heartfelt. Another memorable performance ... though I'm sure not for Gilby. The reactions of Suave Porn after the artists perform ... predictable. But it works for the American Idol prime time public.

Rockstar:Supernova just lost their class act of the season. :-(

Sorry to see Storm go. I have become a real fan of hers. Toby is my frontrunner now. Awesome to hear TPC is touring with SN.

Finally Supernova rocked it with Magni, by far the best performance for the band!

Hey Dave!!!
Now that I know TPC is going on tour with Supernova, I just ordered my tickets to see you in Chicago. I am so jazzed. Looking forward to a fantastic night of music. Lukas Lukas Lukas....mesmorizing....great hair...great voice....he is a star already to many of us.

FUCK YEAH!!!! The Panic Channel touring with SN, that means I've already got tickets!!!! I can't wait for that show. Jan 17th Hard Rock Live - Orlando we've got a table next to the bar.

Thank you for choosing to get up and play with Storm the other night. That was awesome of you. A memory she will never forget.

Best to you,

Yael

GOD I FUCKING HATE GILBY. Can't they replace him with you or something?

I can't say I was surprised to see Storm go tonight. I think she's very talented and I love her style, but she is clearly not right for the band. I wish her well. She, of all of the rockers seemed, from what I've seen of this show in all of its various parts, to possess the most class. She was always the one who was supportiveof everyone else even to the detriment of herself. A strange and beautiful mixture of toughness and humanity.

You, Dave, also seem to possess that same attribute and your good-bye to her was as classy and sweet as Storm seems to be. And I think she deserves that.

On another note, I'm on the verge of planning a trip to Las Vegas to see the show recently added for New Years Day, but only if Panic Channel is there. Are you guys going to be there or do you join the band later on?

First...pretty cool Toby won the truck....he did have a great original song!!
Shocked that Lukas was in the bottom 3 tonight...glad he sang "Headspin" again though....LOVE that song!!
Magni did well on the new SN track.
Storm...I was just starting to get into her.....actually sad to see her go!!
Best of luck to her in the future!!

Dave I know you hear this alot, but I think it is pretty damn cool that you have this blog and update it so regularily, share your thoughts and feelings as well as doing SRL in your personal time.....*which we listen to when ever we can* 6767 is such a part of my daily routine now that my hubby brings me a tea each morning and asks " SO whats up in Dave's world"!!HAHA
We are a young couple who made some mistakes early on that hurt us financially....so we work very hard now and do not "get out" much...but music brought us together and keeps us together and stong....this is not a pity party at all, just trying to express how your SRL shows, TPC and 6767 etc give us our entertainment and damn good music!!!!
So...just a Thank You for that!!
Now just have to get TPC to come to Alberta so we can see you live!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wishing you a world of Love, Peace, Joy and Prosperity!!

Dave,
I've enjoyed both seasons of the show. I'm bummed Storm didn't get the encore. I'm not a big Storm fan, but like you said, she rocked and her original song was the best. It would have been very interesting to see how Storm would have performed and sounded with them.

I like all the remaining singers and they all have their plus/minuses. It's really difficult to determine who is the best fit for SN. I agree with Sean about Toby becoming so predictable. I don't get the whole Toby thing. The best thing I've heard him do is the backup for Storm. To me, he has such a "pop-py" sound/feel. Magni has a GREAT voice and sounded great with SN, but he's not very dynamic/memorable as far as stage presence. I'm sure SN wants someone who's "out there."

That leaves Dilana & Lukas. To me, they're the same - just male/female versions of the same troll-like character. In the beginning, Dilana just totally freaked me out. But, then I started to like her "sound" and still like the song that she performed with SN the best. I'm not sure if that is because of her or just the song. She definetely keeps you riveted when she performs. Its like you can't believe your eyes and you never know what she will do next.

Lukas, I go back and forth on. It's just that he seems like such the predictable, obvious choice (from day one).

Anyway, it'll be interesting to see how it plays out.

Thanks for letting us post.
ah

PS Why was Jason crying after Storm sang Wish you were here??

WTF!!!!! The Rock and Roll Commandments should read somewhere, "Thou shalt not change cut one, side of Live at Budikan" Dilana's performance was a train wreck.

Lukas has waaaaay too much angst going on.

Storm did a great "Wish You Were Here", the exit was BS.

Think I'll start cheering for the Iceman and the Aussie.

Oh no! Storm going home is the worst. i loved her, i thought she had the most star quality of them all and the only one i would go out of my way to see. i love magni's singing but i see him more in a fun bar band doing covers situation. im glad you guys gave her some love in the goodbye sequence and i hope you do back her up on something, she deserves it!

Funnnny about the vent!! It was Storm's time. Dilana next, then Lukas. The voters had this thing right. Between Magni and Toby...my money is on Toby, he's just toooo entertaining. Gilby showed his cards a little when he said that the band needs his youth. He's still trainable and shows that with every bit of suggestion, advice, and guidance...Toby has run with it and will to the finish line.

Hi Dave
Thank you so much for providing this blog as a place to vent.
I cannot believe Storm went home before Dilana. She handled it all with class though.
I don't think it is just Iceland voting for Magni. Everyone in my office voted for him and I live in New Jersey.
Look forward to seeing you on the tour. I will be going regardless of who they pick. I think the final 4 are all amazing.

s'ok i didn't think that Storm was going to be the last one standing in this thing...but damn she should not have gone home tonight--if they were basing anything off of performance. Dilana (hell what do i know she might still win) has failed to impress or even perform well these last few weeks. and she sure hasn't let anything go....whereas Storm freaking blew everybody away tonight and did as you said the best damn original song ever last night--so going home tonight just sucks. my tastes CLEARLY do not mesh with SN's....so i expect my final fav (Magni) to also not win this. (Josh was my #1 favorite this season) sooo i guess if i based my predictions on my preferences--Dilana would win, but i hope that its either Lukas or Toby. so when are you gonna interview Stormie on SRL?

I think I almost passed out when I heard TPC would be on the tour also.. I am a bit surprised Storm went home.. of the two females I think she has more of an emotional depth, which appeals to me..

whats up dave, i would have liked to have storm around alittle longer. she is talented and she is nice to look at as well. i think toby has the upper hand, the ladys seem to like him and he does have a good energy to him. i dont think he is the most talented but who am i to say.

i am very excited that the THE PANIC CHANNEL is going to be touring, no matter who its with. glad real music is out there, and of course, you sir, are a part of it.

Jeff

DAVE: I would like to say that watching Rockstar Supernova has been a ton o' fun and thank you for that! I am impressed with the talent the singers have and I appreciate the way the show allows us a glimpse into their personal style with the original songs.
Some times you crack me up with your comments but usually I think you are right on with what you say. You are a professional with experience to back your opinions and I hope the Rockers learn from that.
I would love to see The Panic Channel, please come to Vancouver, BC ,Canada, we sometimes miss the good acts! I've been a fan for many years and have fond memories of Jane's Addiction/ Lollapolooza and The Red Hot Chili Peppers. Rock on and THANKS for the music!! (P.S. GO LUKAS GO~music NEEDS original thinkers!)

Why do you think Storm was sent home and not Dilana tonight? Dilana has not shown any skills in songwriting but Gilby was very happy with Storm. I´m wondering...do they really want a person who can wright songs or is it all about the stage presence?

P.s. I totally respect your opinion but for me it is the talent that counts and being yourself and that what Magni is all about.

After seeing you play with Storm I just have to say you rock so much more than Gilby. Gilby comes across as so medicore. I know you are friends and all...but he cannot play guitar like you!
Magni's voice sounded great on the SN song tonight. I get the vibe that Gilby isn't gelling too well with him though.
Gonna miss Storm. She is amazing!
Go Toby!!!!!!

LMAO I love the title of this thread and the accompanying pic...too funny, Dave...

I was kidding a few weeks back when I commented about TPC touring in the new year with SN but ok fiiiine - now I'll have to find me some tickets!

I'm happy for Storm, not upset to see her go. It works out much better for her to go back to her own band at this point. The finalists will be offered the opening spots on the tour with the house band but she will go further with her own thing going.

Hard to believe the finale is next week already. Seems like yesterday I watched the first episode and thought this season would be a dud. WRONG!!!!

Vibes,
Kim

Dave ~
Great news that TPC will be touring with SN! Can't wait to see you guys when you come to Connecticut!
I do like Storm - a lot. Did I think she was right for Supernova? No. Which is not to say that I don't think she'll be successful fronting another band. She will be.
Anyway, just wanted to say that you are a stand up guy for offering to back Storm. I hope she takes you up on that offer, because I will see you there!
Take care!
Karen

I have to say my favourite is Lukas, I like his style, his intensity. Also the fact that his on stage performance is great and I really like his style. I'm really looking forward to SN coming to Canada. I'm sorry to seem Storm go, but she took it with grace and we will be hearing from her.

You know, I started out as a Dilana and Lukas fan, and Storm won me over. She was the one I was really looking forward to seeing and hearing each week. I really hope she turns this into a career and releases some music and videos- I want to absorb more of her.

That being said, I really didn't want her fronting SN, because then I'd have to listen to them too. Although, as McCartney said, it's hard to be a new band in front of the whole world. Most bands get to figure out who they are and get good in relative privacy. SN is a new band, and they have that new band smell. Maybe the stink will become sweeter with time.

IMO STORM deserved and earned to be in the final four. She added such a wonderful balance. You're the only reason I will watch to the end.

Dave when I heard that TPC was touring with SN. I screamed so loud that my husband that I was nuts! I am so getting tickets now! Can't wait to see you in Columbus, Ohio Baby!

I know you were sad to see Storm go tonight. I thought she did an awesome take on Pink Floyd. My pick would be Toby for the front man and Dilana second. Lucas I think is too much punk for the SN guys. Toby has better song writing capabilities than Dilana but I still like her. I agree with you about Magni.

Take care and I can't wait to see next week's show.

Now I remember why I forget Magni..snoozeville! Remember your early season comment to him, Dave, about Vegas? Bye Stormy! *Hugs and smooches*

Toby brings it once again! And I loved his shout out to Steve Irwin (we'll miss ya' you loveable goofball - RIP).

Very sad to see Storm go. I was hoping it would be Dilana as her Cheap Trick performance sucked ass from a television point of view.

Totally digging Lukas' mother "issues" though. :)

Great - now we have to endure more forgettably dull performances by Magni*yawn* Was seriously expecting him to go home...

But then I had underestimated the "Iceland factor" (aka "desperate need for global recognition factor") Obviously his country men and women are still striving to put Iceland on the map (clearly unaware that 2/3 of Americans can't find their own country on a map of the world, never mind a little speck like Iceland)

Have never played favourites on the show, but sure am sorry to see Storm go. She's a hell of a performer (dig the crazy eye thing) and I still think her Anything Anything has yet to be topped. Truly sorry I won't get to see her perform again

In other news, I see that Dilana has yet to get her groove back - she was much more appealing when she came across as invincible. And the Cheap Trick song was...a cheap trick. That girl clearly did not get what Gilby said about being too literal. Maybe he wasn't literal enough??

Anyways, my money is on young Toby at the moment - fresh, powerful, versatile voice that's just right for the catchy but flimsy tunes SN has dished out so far

Who knew?

PS PLU_EEZE bring the tour to Maine! Would love to see TPC!

Dear Kate,

I have lost a number of very important people to me over the years. It made me very angry at the world, and at just about everyone I came into contact with. So, go ahead. Get angry at us. We can take it and it might make you feel better, for now. And getting through grief is all about the "for now". Just do what you gotta do. And then do the next thing. And then do the next thing. And then do the next thing.

Hugs, child.

Arwen

dave...ya gotta talk to SN..there are no dates set for the east coast(canada)..ya got montreal, toronto and vancouver but what about the great east coast..i'm really disapointed:(

Great show, cool that Toby won a car.

I am shocked that Storm went home though when I saw that Lukas was in the bottom 3, I wanted it to be anyone but him at that point. I still can't figure out what people are seeing in Magni that I am just not getting. He is a wonderful performer don't get me wrong but I just do not think he is right for SN.

I really like Toby too lately but again I think he might be too soft for SN. However, of the perfomers left I hope it will be either Toby or Lukas.

Dave I am sure you were rocking at the dargonfly- glad to see that TPC will be touring. I have to check it out and see if you'll be heading up my.

anyway 6am seems to come really quick so I am out-

I think we all forget that despite who WE like the best, the person to front Supernova needs to fit with the image and sound that they are looking for.

With that said, what ARE they looking for? I can honestly say that I'm confused. They drool over Lukas, but his sound and look don't quite fit with the sound I've heard from SN so far. And if I remember correctly, Tommy said they were going for a 70's/T.Rex sound. I can't stand Lukas, by the way, so I really hope the rumors that he's already won it are false.

I LOVE Storm but I really don't think she's right for them. I think Dilana is the best choice if someone else writes the songs! Yeah, she's a drama queen, but aren't most lead singers? Ha! Seriously, she has a modern edge to her but yet can pull off a classic rock sound. Also, having a woman on vocals with that kind of music would add something unique. There I go assuming I understand what SN is trying to accomplish musically. I'm probably WAY off base!! Dave, what DO they want?

Whoops- sorry, Kate, my post above was meant for Dessa.

dave...the shows rockin hard this year..but i have to say i'm a bit dissapointed to learn that the eastcoast of canada will not be seening any of SN cause we're not on the list of dates...was really lookin forward to seein them...so why none for us????

I fucking hate Gilby after tonight's show ... the way he ignored Magni on the SN track and how he didn't even show him that respect to clap when Brooke said "Give it up for SN and Magni" ... what a fake "goodie" guy who thinks his bigger than he really is ... SN don't deserve a talent like Magni on their band. And I know Magni isn't your fav but at least you show all your fellow rockers the respect they deserve!

Yo Dave,

Welllllll..... I lost my Dark Horse now... Stormy is gonzo. Who'd they keep? Really? Dilana? I mean she's a great singer and performer but she has shown us that she isn't a strong lyric writer - neither am I for that matter - but it's the drama, man! and the Press Corp bznss...

Anyway, Magni, Toby & Lukas... Lukas is my fav for the band but I have a feeling it's going to be Toby: lots of encores, wins a Honda Element (cool!!) and has a catchy tune ready to go... I predict it's him.

And since TPC has been added to the bill, I REALLY wanna see the show now! Please book some Canadian dates!!! The House band, The Panic Channel & StormNova - ooops I mean Supernova...

Hope the gig went well tonite!

Cheers
PT3

wow, and what a nice vent that is!
Sad to see storm go, but thats why they call it a competition, not everyone can stay! Will be really interesting next week.
Ive said it before, theyre all kick ass performers and as far as that goes, theres no reason to pick one over the other. Gladly I'm not Supernova, because they have to do just that, pick. I trust that they will choose the right one for them.
I just hope that everyone here remembers that you are not the one picking the vocalist for Supernova and doesnt take it all out on you.
So in advance, ^5 to all the people that were in the competition of Supernova, you all have something special, and I'm sure we'll be seeing many of you doing your own thing soon! Kick ass job!

I'm honestly not all that surprised. I love Storm, but I'd much rather see her go solo than front a band. She's great in her own little way and I think she'll go far. But I was shocked to see Lukas in the bottom three.

Oh, and I bought tickets to the tour tonight. See you in CT!

Well I completely agree with Storm being sent home tonight! I have not liked her since the begining and found her really boring and a bit strange. I actually would have liked to see her go weeks ago and def before Ryan. Now that is not to say that she doesnt have talent~she most certainly does...just not my taste I guess.

I have not really decided who I want to win...some days its Lukas and some days its Toby...Magni wouldnt be too bad either although I feel he is missing that extra something....Dilana started out as a fave but began to bore me quickly!

I am BEYOND relieved that my girl storm won't be fronting SN and hope she gets out there and gets her album releases ASAP. She is beyond fantastic, and I love her. And my wife has a girl crush on her, which only makes me love storm more.

Dave, you said some really nice things tonight. It bums me out that I want my favorites to lose, because I just don't find myself liking SN as a band. But you are right, they are all pretty awesome at this point, and I watch this show to see new talent. It's just too bad so many from last season dropped the ball on getting out material. Hopefully they won't be so stupid this season.

Dave,

The Rock Star boards are lighting up with Dilana fans tonight. Check it out, she's back!!!!! Not as much outcry over Storm as I thought. Personally I will buy anything she puts out. Great original! D fans are not remaining silent, they are out in support tonight.

Dave, I love Cheap Trick and of course, just about anyone knows I Want You To Want Me. The way DILANA rearranged and sang it was TOTALLY awesome. Wow!!! To take on a much loved song and turn it in her own --- that was way cool and courageous. I really enjoyed that performance. DILANA ROCKS and can sing anything! My only disappointment tonight (aside from the fact that Dilana was in the Bottom 3), was that Storm did not get to do a Supernova song. Magni is an all round good singer but I didn’t like the SN song tonight. The guys need matching energy and a voice that flows with the intensity of their sound so that the vocals and instruments are all one, complementing --- DILANA has it!!! Don't forget it is the quality of the end product that matters. Dilana has intensity, energy, lots of stage presence, the sound of her voice is unique and goes well with SN. If I may suggest, they can get Richard Marx to write and Dilana can sing.

I'm hoping you invite Storm on Spread Radio Live. I'll be looking okay? Thanks for caring what we think.

oh my storm...i don't think any of the remaining FEEL the music like she does...she IS rock n roll...she's beyond talented...and she's usually the only one who knows the songs! how can jason be moved to tears and then let her go? how does gilby say dilana has no creativity and lukas barely shows up, while storm has great music sense and is awesome to work with and then he lets her go? i agree with you 100% i LOVED storm's original...i am a huge fan of hers and i'm actually quite glad she didn't "win" because i'm a huge rock fan and i'm not thinking too highly of supernova's music...is it just me or does it seem tame? sort of diluted rock? the lyrics aren't genious either...and i'm not bagging on them cuz they cut her...

sidebar: whatever happened to that producer dude from the first episode? i remember him saying something about being there to see who would "sound" best on a record...and yah i have to admit...i'm not overly excited about magni's performance...but i love his voice...it's strong and powerful and i'd rather hear him on a track than dilana or lukas....on the other side...i love toby's energy and new-found sense of fun...so i think it should be between the two....toby for stage presence or magni for the voice...

disappointed that i won't hear storm for a while but fuck am i looking forward to her album....BRING THE STORM....

xoxo Alida

I hate to say it... but... if Lukas wins I won't be buying a CD or going to a SN concert... I'll miss TPC!!! Have to catch you somewhere else!

For all those wondering about the voting, something was definitely messed up with it again, [b]I wasn't able to start until I was supposed to BUT it never ended. It is STILL OPEN(21+hours later) and taking votes[/b] for me and I've never played the clock game either. So for those who are upset about their fave hitting the B3, the behind the scenes games are still being played.
**************************************************

As for Storm getting dumped, that was certainly unexpected after the abyssmal mess of a song that Dilana sang for her elimination. Storm's song brought tears to not just Jason's eyes, whereas Dilana's brought shouts of wtf is that and then, for f*ks sake change the channel from BOTH of my 20+yr old sons!!

I find it really funny that you people think that all the votes Magni is getting comes from Iceland! Iceland has a population of 300.000 thousand people it one of the smallest countries in Europe. The country is like one big apartment building in New York so plz think before you write...

Considering who was in the bottom 3 tonight, I'm not surprised they chose to let go Storm. Disapointed yes, surprised no. Luke is going nowhere anytime soon! As for Dilana, well I have fallen off her wagon quite a while back. As much as she initially mesmerized me, the only color she left is in her hair. Her performances are all the same now. But she went through a rough time these past few weeks. Mostly self inflicted trauma if you ask me, but the editing devils didn't help her cause much. Anyway, my point is, sending her home tonight would have been a bad marketing move.

Had Magni hit the bottom 3 tonight with any of the these performers, he would have been the one sleeping in his bed tonight. Magni is a very good singer, but a very average entertainer.

The final 2 will be Lukas and Toby. Toby earned a place next to Lukas. And he will get to tour with the House Band (who by the way kick serious ass). He already received his consolation prize tonight in the form of a Honda Element. Not bad for a guy who dreamed to become a rockstar to stop rolling up carpets!

There is only one possible choice for Supernova. Only one performer who fits seamlessly. And we all know who that is. I rest my case!

Looking forward to seing you on stage at the Montreal concert Dave!

Just want to pre-thank the thought process behind Supernova/RockstarINXS - when you get so busy with life (work/obligations) you sometimes forget there is a life to live. For a few weeks over the summer these shows are quality time with my significant other, an escape from the mundane and new trash to hash with the work crew. Please do another show next year! Permission granted to line up to crucify me....I feel three of the remaining four are do-able for my musical taste. Lucas just is too much whine for my cup of cheese! Thanks again Dave for all you do.

All I have to say is way cool photo Dave!!!
It's so artistic and creative...
I love the angle the photo was shot at...
So please, you must divulge who the photographer is who took that awesome photo!!!

Not sure what to think about that show.

Storm was excellent, can appreciate that she is not what Supernova is looking for but it is a travesty to have kept Dilana instead of her.

Lukas in bottom 3. Anything to do with the lukewarm reception we saw on TV instead of the delicious tonguebath we didn't see? You guys really do have the influence you know. He also looked a bit confused and frightened at being in the bottom 3. I guess he has absolutely no clue that we the voters did not get to see how much love Supernova gave him last night and based on what we were allowed to hear the casual voter would probably think, oh, they didn't like that overly much, guess I'll vote for someone else. He must be thinking WTF, they loved me, but no fans voting for me?

Magni with Supernova. Was it my imagination or did Gilby seem to intentionally ignore him during the performance, Jason a little bit as well? That song so needs Lukas's help.

Toby's encore? Does he get the second Element if he wins? I truly can't get past the fact that Supernova is even considering him as sweet as he is. His voice and stage antics are getting very predictable.

A standing ovation for Dilana? Come on, who are you guys kidding? That performance was so not worthy. I guess it may be a bit of conscience kicking in. She was certainly kicked hard enough when she was down. That aside, she should have went home, she exhausted her talent a couple of weeks ago.

Lukas singing his heart out to make a comeback. I could have cried, well I did a little. He oversang in my opinion but it was beautiful to see his emotion. If he doesn't win there is something terribly wrong with this world. Gilby said Lukas thinks this is his to lose. Well I say Lukas is theirs to lose.

Storm will be going back to her great band The Balls, with her SO Davey Nipples, wish them lotsa luck and I'll give them the support i can from here in Ohio:/ Check her out with the balls and storm, inc on youtube and stormlarge.com!!!

I didn't really care for Storm's performance tonight. Can't say I'm disappointed she's gone. Dilana did pretty decent tonight, but they need a dude fronting them. Lukas is good but I just don't see him as their frontman. He doesn't look right with them. I still think Toby is the best choice.
Hope everyone is having a good week.

OMG- I was so excited to hear that TPC is touring w/SN I too let out a "right on". Problem was I was at the Gym, everyone turned to look at what my problem was. I just said "The Panic Channel is coming". Thanks Dave, and thanks for listening to us, it was amazing to see you perform last night-FINALLY!
As for venting- I just did. As for RS-I love my Lucas but, I would rather see him with his own gig, I'm not convinced SN is right for him-I think he can do better. I like Toby for them. I realized last night that I am bored with Magni. Never thought I would say something like all of this but, hey, why not.
See you in TO.

Meanwhile, in Hollywood, Panic Channel and the Suicide Girls are raising the roof and funds for Head to Hollywood.

Rock on!!!

I'm really sorry to see Storm go. Dilana should have been the one to kick it. Moving on--Magni is not dynamic. Period. I don't know where his votes are coming from. Supernova I'm sure recognizes that Lukas is by far the best all around talent but they need to realize that the music that they have been playing is much more Toby-style. They like to sit there like they're heavy metal badasses but all of their songs have pop beats. Nothing wrong with that, but I really hope Lukas loses so he can get signed and do something heavier. Not to mention that Lukas looked like a baby compared to Gilby up there while Toby really seemed to fit.

I didn't want Storm to win, I always thought she was too good for them. But it's one thing not to pick her to be the lead singer and it's another to constantly crap on her.

I just can't get over how many times this season they have cheated her out of well deserved high praise. And it pisses me off even more that they shat on her three times more tonight! They passed her up one more time tonight for the op to sing w/SN. Then they passed up on giving her the encore - which I think was criminal. And then they got their last and final dig in, they picked Dilana over her. The way they treated her this season was the epitome of wrong.

I'm not angry that she got the boot, I'm angry because of the way that they treated her this entire season. And then to throw some BS compliments her way as they were shoving her out the door - that was like rubbing salt in a wound - painful and cruel. How ridiculous that they would each individually (with the exception of Gilby) declare their incredible admiration for her, so incredible that they all want to play on her record. And all I could do was sit there and scream "Fuck you!" as each asshole slathered on his little bit of hypocritical bullshit.

But even after all of this - Storm held her head high. She was classy even at the end. I'll be forever impressed by her grace and elegance.

And even though you took the high road Storm it doesn't mean I have to! FUCK YOU SUPERNOVA!

Are you kidding me? Storm went home before Dilana? After her kick-ass performance last night? I don't get it.

Toby has been my fave since the very first show this season, and I haven't wavered. He's going to get it--if the guys are smart enough to select him. And I swear to God, I just knew (and hoped) he would pay tribute to Steve Irwin (Crocodile Hunter)--such a tragic accident. I'm still in shock--but very proud of Toby for mentioning him and dedicating his encore (which Toby deserved and I loved!) to him. Toby's a true rocker and class act. And, Dave, I'm so excited you're going to be touring with SN. I'll see you in Indy (or maybe L.A.) next year. Hell Yeah!!!!

Hi Dave,

Niiiiiice !!! TPC & SN in Toronto Jan 24th at Massey Hall.

The accoustics at Massey Hall are phenominal. The seating capacity is only 3000 though.

That place is going to sell out FAST !!!

Joanna(T.O)

Hey Dave, you must be smoking your guitar strings to send Storm home before a few others. She may not be right for the band, but I think she deserved a bit better treatment. She was always a pro and always delivered a good show. With zero drama.

Love watching the show - really don't care who wins. IMO the real winners will be the three runners up, who won't have the same crappy expectations put on them that the actual winner will have.
PS my B'day is 6/7...73 :P~~

Can't wait to see TPC on tour.

PARTY ON !

I must say Dave, I wasn't running out and buying SN tickets any time soon. But when I heard TPC was touring with them I bought my tickets immediately!!! So I can't feed the family for a while. But I have my tickets. Great News. YEAH.

Hey Shelly! 6767 = Daves birthdate!

Hell yes, Dave! You touring with SN will be the main reason I go see them. You blew the fucking top off the roof when you rocked with Storm. I can't wait for more.

I won't comment on tonight's show for those people who haven't seen it yet. (I didn't read all the comments, just skimmed, so it may have already been said..but, not by me! :)

Thanks for all the obsessi...er information you keep feeding us, man.

Dave...I never thought you would be interested in opening for a pop band. If Toby wins this..with his oh oh ohoh oh oh... the meaning of Rock Star just died! But look on the bright side...you'll have an audience of 14 year olds! PS..always check ID while your on tour...

Hey Dave. Storm is an awesome lady. Isn't she? After last night comments from SN I was sure that she will be in the finals. I'm so sad. I can't believe that Magni and Toby had more votes than Lukas. That was unfortunate. They are great guys but I'm not crazy about any of them.

Anyway I'm glad that we got to see this show in South America. I never thought I'd be so impressed by someone as I'm with Storm. It was nice to see you play with her as it was when you played with Heart. She reminds me of Ann Wilson sometimes. What you said to her on Tuesday show was great. You're a gentleman :). I think I almost forgot your *not that nice comments* to her already (lol!). Excuse my English please!

Buena Suerte con tu banda Dave! Besos!

I'm a Storm fan (moreso than any of the other Rockers), and I'm totally cool with how this all transpired. I thought it was awesome how you got up and jammed with Storm during her cover performance, and the way TLee couldn't even do the honors was first rate.

Seriously, it was pretty obvious that Storm wasn't going to front SN, but they sent Ryan packing last week in order to give Storm a chance to perform her original on national TV. At least, that's the way I look at it.

Plus, she didn't want to go out in a double or triple elimination... she wanted to be let go on her own. So this was the perfect scenario for her elimination from the show.

And I echo the other writers Dave - it would be seriously cool to have her on SRL. And I truly hope that you were serious about playing guitar for her on Ladylike! That would pwn.

-----------------------------------
And to answer Kazza's question above:
-----------------------------------
does anyone know why both storm and jason cried at the end of 'wish you were here'? is there a story there that i didn't hear?
-----------------------------------

Storm dedicated that song to her mother, who died recently (last year, if I recall correctly). That's why Storm was crying. Jason was probably crying because he knew they were going to let Storm go, and he genuinely felt bad for her.

Frankly, I always thought Storm was a little too classy to be a rocker chick for SN anyway. She'll be super with her own band.

Yep, I'm officially bummed --- TPC is touring w/ SN? SN is not my cup of tea, but best of luck with the tour Dave.

I REALLY hope you do a few TPC ONLY shows after the SN tour. The Spring TPC tour kicked ass and I was hoping this next tour would be similar. But trust me, I'm very gracious I was able to see you guys in such intimate settings in Denver and L.A. earlier in the year. xoxo

Hey Dave!

I was really bummed out when Storm was sent home tonight, but I just wanted to thank you for showing her so much love. You two were KILLER on "Suffragette City".

I went to the taping today, and it was great. I guess some of you on the East Coast have already seen the show. I saw a few comments about TPC touring with SN.

Lukas, I was shocked he was in the bottom three. He performed Headspin again, and it was even better today. I am going to miss seeing Lukas every week, he fills a void in my heart left by the loss of my son. He is so sweet, funny, and really cares about his fans. I was talking with a lady when I was waiting in line. I told her about the ring I gave Lukas, and these two teenage girls said wow you're the one who gave him the ring. They saw week 8's fashion video where he shows the ring, and said a fan gave it to him.

After the results taping some of us stayed and watched Ryan record some songs. Dave you should have hung around. I sat next to this gorgeous blond from Iceland, and she thinks you're hot!!

Dave you have such soft hands, I know you do your own laundry, but I guess you never have to do dishes! haha

Question: How did you get the nickname scarecrow?

Storm I think was crying because she was singing it to her mom...who died. Well that's what I heard.

Dave,

I was so glad that you finally got on stage during last night's show! I agree with you that all remaining rockers are talented and each could bring something to Supernova. However, I feel that Lukas is the best of the final four. I won't go into reasons why, you know that people either love him or hate him.

Now, about this tour. I sure would love to see TPC,SN and the House Band. Of course, it doesn't appear that the tour will be coming to my hometown. You may not have anything to do with these decisions, but I thought I would bring these two words to your attention anyway:

NEW ORLEANS

Thanks for listening,
Leslie

Dave you naughty minx!! - keeping that TPC tour news under wraps - you must have had ants in your pants just dying to tell the fans.

Apparently the Canadians are taking over this blog - ha - so start a headline tour with TPC and Storm and the Balls opening. Do it quick before the Canucks invade! ha.

I really don't think the people of Iceland are setting their alarm clocks for 2:00am just to vote like mad for Magni. He has a ton of fans here as well. He is WAY too talented for Supernova and everyone I know that watch the show can't wait for him to belt out something perfectly every week. I really hope he is extremely successful at the end of this thing. He deserves it. I thought Gilby and actually all the fellas were complete pricks performing with him. Even if you do not think he is right for your group, he made your lame ass song sound good and actually listenable. That certainly should deserve your respect.

Dave. I thought some original songs were better than others(i.e. Storm and Lukas,not Dilana) There was only one song however, that stuck in my head today. I caught myself signing to Lukas' song and I loved it. It had depth, edge, and a beautiful harmony. Great song.

It should be interesting as we move on to next week. I'm thinking it'll come down to Toby and Lukas. If Toby wins (and i'm saying this with an immense liking for him) I think you should retract your plans to tour. It'll be a rock band opening for a pop-rock band. Just saying.

Any chance of a second show in Toronto? Or move it to the Air Canada Centre.

Ok...I am a rocker newbie. Honestly, I have heard hardly any of the songs they sing on Supernova...and sadly, I had never heard of you Dave. No disrespect intended...but I lived in the music dark ages. Until I just so happend across Dilana's performance of Lithium one night. I was hooked. My obsession with watching her perform led me to your web site...and now I can say...I am less obsessed with watching her perform as much as I am about hearing all this awesome music. Thanks for the show...and thanks for this web-site. You are bringing rock to many of us that never thought rock had a place with us.

I've gotta agree with Mike L. I can't see you opening for a band with Toby as the lead singer.

I'd actually love to see you perform with Lukas. WOW!

Looking forward to TPC coming to Toronto with SN.

I am so upset with the editing on this show. It's downright cruel. As a fan I would have dearly loved to see Lukas get his well deserved praise from Supernova last night and as a fan I would have dearly loved to see his heartfelt reaction to it. I feel robbed and cheated. What would have potentially moved people was left on the cutting room floor in favor of "so what did you guys think of that?"

Dave, much respect and love.

This show has been such a ride. I can't believe how personally invested I am - and so many other people are - in the fates of these singers.

Storm is a class act and thanks for the send off you gave her, and the SN boys too. Pretty cool to see established, big-time artists turn around and acknowledge they want to back up the singer who was trying out for them. That is just so many levels of cool. Humble and gracious in the best way.

Don't listen to the haters man, that was a pretty incredible moment. Just like the fact that this NEW music and all these rockers I didn't know about have all been playing out their dreams on my TV... just incredible. I'm running out of adjectives. No wonder you say "awesome!" all the time... it just is!!!

THANK YOU for bringing the music and working the media into something that is truly new, bringing people together. I have been riveted to the TV for all the weeks Rockstar has been on and nothing else on TV does that.

SN took a risk to pick out their singer this way. It's like I said once before, we love our musicians because they "bring it" for a performance and live out something that makes us all feel more alive. This show is edging up the risk and turning into something new, none of us know how it's all going to turn out.

Because of this show, some very talented musicians I never heard of have gotten an international exposure beyond their wildest dreams. How stoked must Storm's fans and supporters in the Pacific northwest be that their hometown girl brought it to the TV... not just the performances and singing her original, but also showing what a strong, professional, generous, intelligent, kind-hearted woman looks like on TV. AND she's for real. They must be so many kinds of proud of her.

The blog, this show... thanks for making the music and the musicians accessible to people like me. AND thanks for letting me have a chance to have my say in turn. Means a lot.

It's like you're the only musician who knows how to work 21st century media. I have the feeling you are just the first edge of the wave. Musicians and fans will be in it together, launching careers and bringing more music into the world. It's going to be so cool, and Dave Navarro is just doing his own thing, forging the new path.

And hearing TPC is going to tour with SN? That just made me want a ticket.

All my best to you Dave.

Dearest Dave,
In your copious amounts of free time (hahahaha), will you please try to get Storm on SRL? Last year, I loved Marty Casey but staying on top of what he is up to hasn't been the easiest road. I hope that Storm learns that and a reminder like the one Ryan got would be rad. Thanks dude!

Just another voice in the wilderness lamenting Storm's departure. I'm heartbroken and devastated. Sure I knew she wasn't going to win, but one more week of an awesome and inspiring performance would have been great.

I've lost all respect for SN on the basis of this decision. Watching Dilana's truly horrendous cover of I Want You to Want Me after Storm's moving and majestic Wish You Were Here was the quickest slide from heaven to hell I've ever been on. Picking Dilana over her is a mystifying decision. I don't even want to watch the final show. Toby's ultimately unimaginative, Lukas can't enunciate, Dilana's so limited in her creativity, and Magni is great... but he's no f'in Storm.

The Storm has passed. I’m very sad. But I really want you to hook up with her like you promised, Dave.

Storm’s original trumped Lukas’. But three trips to the bottom 3 couldn’t be ignored, I guess. I’m a Storm and TPC fan now. Screw SN.

As far as Lukas goes, I’m not a big fan. He looks like the hunchback of Notre Dame with a palsy, the way he lurches around on stage. Toby is too preppy. Magni is good but boring. But Dilana is back in the game…I think.

Question: I’m wondering if there is a plan to release a Best of Rockstar SN album. A possibility? I’m guessing it would interfere with SN marketing, but I’d buy it (as long as Zayra’s vocals weren’t on it, that is).

In reply to the post by Kate & Dessa.

My heart goes out to you. I've recently lost someone very close to me and can sympathize with you. It has almost been a year and I still do not know when the healing begins. (DAVE, can you shead some light on this? I'd like to know for myself).

You do have a point that a lot of this is petty but I want to reassure you that we are not all abusive, crule and hateful. The core members are a family/community. A family/community with Dave and the people associated with him. It is not all about RockStar SuperNova. There is a long history that goes along with this family/community that goes back years. We are a bit different but that's who we are.

I will disregard some of your "crule" comments made because I understand that you are hurting.

~Blessed Be~ ***********************************
**************************************************************************************************
Now the following comments may seem a bit ironic because of what I have just written but this is the defence of DAVE.

In response to the posting my Mr. Majestic... FUCK YOU!!!

You're entitled to your opinion but don't come here and start fuckin' bashin' on DAVE and Tommy, bringing up things from their personal lives. And why you gotta get all fuckin' RACIAL and SHIT?

Yes, parts of RockStar SuperNova are cheesy but BACK THE FUCK OFF!!! How dare you!!! Why didn't you post that shit on STORM's blog? I'm gonna bite my tongue on the rest of what I want to say due to what I just wrote above but being that this was provoked, it's qualified.

And that's all I've got to say about that!

I'm thrilled to hear TPC will be touring with SNova!!! Now, I don't wanna to get too excited - so are you guys going to be at every venue or only a select few? Now if SN will just pick Lukas, it'll be a dream ticket. *fingers crossed* All you guys will make my HeadSpin in the Teahouse of the Spirits! (Excuse my corniness, I'm a little excited.) ;)

It was bullshit taking out Storm, but she was too good to be in that band. She has it all, looks, stage presence, etc.

It's funny, the two best singers are both females. the rest of the guys are simply cardboard cut outs of other dudes.

Mike L., just had to reply to your post, WORD!

Although I enjoyed some of each of the contestants performances, the only ones I'm willing to pay cash to see or hear again are Lukas and Storm.

Is it just me or is Toby morphing into Lukas? First the two-tone hair then the heavy guyliner and tonight I noticed the facial hair chin strap. Also copied some of his stage moves tonight.
My hope would be Lukas to win with Toby along for the opening act. They really are best buds.

Dave,

Cant wait to see you on tour. Panic Channel and the house band are going to steal the show. Sounds like SN needed to sell some tickets.

I hope to God that the compassion shown on tonights show had nothing to do with editing. The way Jason reacted to Storm's performance & how you reacted to Jason was, well, touching and unbeliveable. I was not ready & did not expect that. We are so trained to take things as they come & I think you can testify to this, the older you get the colder you get. Unfortunatly that is life. You either learn to deal or succumb. I will say I was totally taken aback at your guys's reactions. I so hope that wasnt a ploy or due to editing. I have never been a Storm fan, but I really enjoyed her performances the last two episodes and wish her the best. I hope you realize how much your opinion/reaction matters and effects the "real" world. You have yet to fail to amaze me Dave.

Well the Storm has passed. I have to admit, I never really liked her. No performance by her really got me. Of course, I loved watching you perform with her. I just didn't like all the drama she portrayed. Good luck to you SL

Hubbie says, you BETTER buy tickets as we were looking for Lep tickets online. Seen Supernova,thought well, DEPENDS who is singing. Until........the announcement tonight. We are going to the big city of Fargo and seeing another concert. I will love watching Tlee rock on the drums again.

I will admit, I have never seen Jason or Gilby play so that will be cool.

Luv the show, don't really care what the outcome is, I don't loose sleep over it.

Skippy Linda, aren't you glad they invented IM:) Have a great time watching RS! Luv ya Linda.

I am SO happy to be seeing TPC again! Happy rest of the week to everyone,thanx DN, for all U are,Db

That SN track was the best one so far. I liked and I like the way Magni did it.

mike

very excited that TPC is touring with supernova, cant wait to see you guys at the borgata in AC!!

I am SOOOOO glad I didn't buy a ticket.

The Pornboys will be all right with Toby, or will suck ass with Divana or Lukas.

The final dig at Storm being in the bottom 3 so often was just lame. If you hadn't been dogging her all season, maybe she wouldn't have been there - what was it - TWICE?? The same as Divana? Jezus, how incredibly stupid are you people?

No venting here - enjoyed tonight. Had to watch back to back on Tivo but well worth the two hours! The right choice was made. Have to say, I FELL OFF MY COUCH when I heard you were joining the tour. I had ought tix immediately for what is now the 3rd show in Miami (or really Ft. Lauderdale, but who's counting 10 miles here and there) - and much to the dismay of my "reality show" snob friends. Those tix just quadrupled in value. And hey, this is coming from an accountant - imagine the "real rockers" out there. One huge lesson to all men out there - don't let the profession and the paycheck fool you! Embrace it!

By the way, Dave giving Brooke some love on the news of her new baby girl was cool.

mike

I stopped reading less than halfway through them. wow what people will say when give the anonymity of the internet!
anyway, totally stoked PC is joining the tour. now between you and the house band even if a certain North American is picked I will still have something to look forward to at the show!
it's all good!

Ok here is my venting.
Can't get tickets to the Toronto show. Sorry that is if you are more than ONe person. Shit!!!!!

My man Dave,

Any chance of you mixing and matching band members on some nights of the tour?I'd like to see you up there with Tommy and Lukas and the rest of the SN boys.Now that would be a dirty rock and roll band.

Look if they gave Lukas all the encores that he could have easily had and all the praise that got cut do you think we would have much of a TV show here?Get over it.

Dessa, I'm sorry for your loss. No need, however, to crap on us here for doing what we do.

Dave, I've always been a fan.

I got sucked into this show because I'd seen Storm perform previously and always thought she was a force to be reckoned with. I'm glad, as I'm sure she is, to have my life back.

Best of luck, all.

Toby did a good job with his original, but the encore really should've gone to Storm. I was slow to warm up to her, but she's really won me over.

I'm bummed that she won't make it to the final show, but I am confident that she is going to shine regardless.

I thought that Magni or Dilana should've gotten eliminated this week. Magni is a solid performer, but he has yet to blow me away. I used to like Dilana, but her lack of songwriting skills and her abrasive ways have really turned me off.

Overall, I think Lukas is the best choice for the band, but it's looking as though Toby might win.

SRLAddict~
I don't know Dessa...I only read her posts here and then recognized her name on a post on the RS/SN message boards. Just wanted to share it with Dave as I am sure he saw her previous posts here.

Kate

Nice props to the croc hunter Steve Irwin. Nice!

mike

That was a good song by Toby.

Getting rid of Storm makes perfect sense. Why would any band in their right mind want an amazingly gorgeous charismatic singer with a beautiful voice that is almost always pitch perfect who has seemingly unlimited knowledge of rock history, lyrics and melody that also always comes across as sincere, enthusiastic, sweet and encouraging? Let her go? Of course. No brainer.

Dilana drama aside, what I really don't get about her is the praise for her voice. I find myself expecting her to cough any minute, and long for her to just clear her throat. The damage to her voice is painful to listen to when you compare some of her older stuff to how she sounds now. Maybe SN loves her because she's the only one that won't highlight so much the age differences between them.

The lure of the Panic Channel and the House Band almost makes this middle-aged, overweight, wheelchair bound lady brave enough to over come the terror of putting herself out there and actually go see the tour. If only I knew for sure Toby would be fronting SN, I might just get the nerve!

Annabelle~
I don't think she was..that was a post I copied and pasted here for Dave as I don't think he goes on the RS/SN message boards.

Storm got sent home??? Jeez, at least she knows how to sing AND write. Something to be said for othe contestants. I'm pissed. Dave that was a wicked performance with Storm - could tell you were having fun. I want Toby to take it all now. What's with Lukas' voice and those facial expressions - he's still doing that weird thing down in his throat. I had kept away from watching the webisodes but I watched all of them on Monday and had a blast. I had no idea some of these contestants were so arrogrant.

I couldn't f**king believe Lukas was in the bottom 3 tonight!!! He has such a huge fan base and we were voting our asses off!!
He was awsome as usual though and took it with class. Still my pick to win.
Storm went home instead of Dilana!!!! What was all that crap about needing song writing skills that Gilby was spouting earlier this week??? they loved Storm's song, hated Dilana's (with good reason btw) And she was in the bottom 3 TWICE!! - So were Magni and Toby AND DILANA!!!
And Magni got more votes than Toby or Lukas??? - I think the people of Iceland are using their secret powers over wind and cold to freeze up all the other Rocker's sites- lol

I can't believe Storm is gone before making the final 4. She was unbelievable and 50 times more talented and professional than all of the other contestants combined.

I couldn't believe she didn't even get the encore or chance to sing with SN - she was the best last night hands down.

Yeah...well...we get Storm back so I'm happy. P-town hasn't been the same without her. Too bad for SN...they lost their best chance. Would have been nice to at least hear Storm with SN once though, or to hear her do "Ace of Spades" (she totally KILLS it). After the last 2 weeks, I am surprised that Dilana wasn't canned though with all her "poor me" whining and one dimensional performances.

Agree Micheal-Irwin will be missed by many!

As someone said earlier, nice illustration to go along with the post. The funniest was your just got out of bed pic. I used it as my avatar I thought it was precious!

Lukas is going to be the lead singer!

WHAT. THE. FUCK. WAS. THAT?

Yes, I am referring to Dilana's blatant and vicious attempt to ruin Cheap Trick and all that is good on this planet (and Pluto for that matter)! AHHHHH my ears are bleeding!!! :)

I am buying SN tickets so I can see TPC! I'll shimmy right in amongst all those teeny boppers so I can see Dave any day of the week! Awww hell yeah!

BTW your Hotness: My birthdate is 2-4-68 so I definitely think you and I should get together privately and discuss how cool our birthdates are. (Ok, if that doesn't work, it was worth a try! But that really is my birthdate!)

Thanks for being here for us.

Dave, you are fucking deadly the way you give back, and huge respect in your direction for even bothering to read what we think.
I thought tonight was another killer, dramatic show and I hate that Storm had to go, but as you said, at this point each one of these talents is going to taste success. Storm is nothing but class, and her tears blew me away man... television delivering undiluted honesty? Wow...
Dilana will be gone soon, but I was glad to see her in better spirits and delivering the goods, and whether or not she has gotten a raw deal in any way, she has elevated her career and she does ROCK!
Magni? Totally agree with the Navarro viewpoint: he's such a quality human being, but I don't consistently get that spark from him, and aside from the fun of watching T.Lee bash the skins, Supernova ain't much to behold without a riveting singer.
Toby was even better tonight... crowds eat out of this dude's hand. Fun quotient big time, notwithstanding a sameness in his tone, which can also be said for Lukas.
I end up, again, with Lukas as the only choice that really suits this band. We have a killer music scene up here in Toronto, and even by that standard he is special. All these insults flying around about his "look" and his "enunciation" and "singing like he's throwing up" ... FUCK THAT. How many bands have unique singers who breed love/hate parameters? Too many to list, but start with Rush, Jane's Addiction, The Cure, Killing Joke, Dead Kennedys, Bad Brains ... get the picture?
They're all winners, the show is great, and you do a wicked job running the commentary Dave.
Peace, Music, Love.
"to have an opinion, any opinion, is to overlook something"

I am devastated. I didn't think Storm would win but I think Dilana should have gone before Storm.

Dilana's only edge is a whole lot of piercings and a rock 'look'. Storm doesn't have to go there because she already rocks enough - she doesn't have to try and look it to pull it off.

I am all for Toby winning. I can never understand Lukas when he sings and it just seems like a whole lot of slurred speech.

I expect to be entertained by a band - Dilana sends me to sleep, Lukas is talented but doesn't entertain me and either does Magni. If I am going to pay to watch a band for two hours I want to get a smile on my face and sing along. The only person that performs this way IMO is Toby.

ROCK ON RAND!!!

wow my tickets are not going to go to waste Dave has saved the day wooo hooo

I'm sad to see Storm go tonight. I did not expect her to win just because I didn't feel that she was what SN was looking for. But I was looking forward to hearing from her one more week. Oh well, hopefully she'll have an actual recording out soon, even though I found some of her music online. You think "Ladylike" was awesome?? Try out "Beautiful". I'll be spending my hard earned money on her next album.

At this point, I believe the SN trio has picked out the winner so it doesn't really matter whether it was Dilana or Storm that went tonight. Unless they want dark angst, it won't be Lukas. Also a fact that while Lukas performed with SN, they were completely lost in HIS shadow. Magni has a great voice, but his stage activity needs work. Both he and Dilana have trouble with song writing since English is a second language. Dilana's major weakness is a serious lack of tact. Also, she has been in the bottom 2x (same amount as Storm, but that wasn't pointed out tonight). They seem to really take heed of those public votes. Oh, btw, did anyone even notice last week that many of us could not vote?????

So I think they are going to go with Aussie Toby in the end. He has stage presence, can be funny or angsty, can write well, tall, and hey, he's a regular bloke just like Tommy, even though he's much better looking. Yep, what's not to like from a marketing aspect???

But damn, I am going to miss Storm in the webcast and next week's show. She is such a wonderful singer and performer. Too bad you don't have an online setup for requests to bring rockers back. Verizon definitely has a monopoly on this vote.
Can't wait to see what you have going on for next season.
Tchuss!
Sara

No way does Dilana win with a torn calf. It can't heal by January.

mike

Dilana looks right, sounds right and fits with SN on stage better than all the others! She gives them an edge and a sound to cut through all of the other 'soundalike' groups out now. She was clearly in pain during the show (especially when she got into it kicked/grabbed her leg and it made her voice crackup) but she obviously really wants it and can take alot of crap from alot of directions and still rock.

Sure she has a touchy personality sometimes, she can rub people the wrong way, say the wrong thing, have a big head at times and really get people talking about her...isn't that what makes a good rockstar a great one? Name even one leadsinger, from any great rockgroup, that doesn't have all of those traits in abundance! Thats star power folks!

SN should do the one thing that so many people don't think they have the balls to do...PICK THE GIRL!

Here's all you need to know. I will NEVER buy a Supernova album or go to a show. Their song tonight sucked. Magni deserved a better track.

I WILL and cannot wait to buy a Storm Large and the balls album.

Money talks, bullshit walks.

LUCAS IS SHITTE!!!!
He cannot sing worth crap, I used to think it was his mike not turned up enough, but he just cannot sing and he goes quiet instead of actually belting it out rock n' roll style like the GODDESS DILANA. Yet I believe that she is too good to be in SN with old dudes who have no musical taste and are not original in any way.
Toby's "Burning down the house" a few weeks back kicked ass!!! Finally tonight they are recognizing his energy as something SN needs to be marketable, yet I know that the only album I will be buying is Dilana's.

i

Matt K,

Lukas can give what Dilana does without all the insecurities and way out drama. Just my thought.

mike

Good artists are all dramatic and insecure...thats why they become artists!

I'm pissed Storm is gone, particularly after such incredible performances yesterday. Out of all the singers, she definitely showed the most professionalism and grace. Magni is a very talented singer, but he is boring onstage. I am not invested in the other three either. At the end of the day, I doubt I would purchase a SN CD.

That said, I love this show. After many years of listening to other types of music, this show has brought me back to rock. The house band is amazing. The energy and talent pool are so compelling. I am certain that this show has expanded the fan base for "rock" in general. I hope it is continued in future seasons.

Dave, kudos to you on TPC's early success and for your dedication to your fans.

Hey Dave! I love Rockstar Supernova. I think Toby should win! He has the It factor I think hes hott, includes the audience, is entertaining, and can sing. AO AO AO AO! HAH! Yeah I think Magni should go because he seems glued to the stage BUT he can sing very well. Lukas should go he cant really sing and he seems to gothish. I wouldnt listen to Supernova is Lukas won. But thats just my opinion. EVS! Kaila

You know, I thought this was all wrapped up after the third episode...with everything down to Dilana and Lukas....but you know, editing or whatever, the show is damned fun to watch. Props to producers et al.

Side note...Toby's won me over from a heavy Dilana root...slap some leather on that boy, lemme see those abs, and let him rock out as SN's new lead.

Love ya Dave...

Oh, no wonder Storm got the boot. No way does Lukas and Dilana get the boot. SN had no choice but to say goodbye to Storm. I didn't think Storm was going to win, anyway.

mike

Come on, no way anyone has the theatrics that Lukas does.

mike

Thank you for the clarification. I thought that she posted on this site. Hopefully one day she'll be back and will see the love and support that we have for her.

Storm's performance of Wish you were here was the most touching performance all season in RSN. I loved it.

Dave,

When the better artist leaves it makes a mockery of the show. When the better person leaves it reflects poorly on the people running the show.

Storm is a class act. What does that say about the people making the decisions?

John, it says that she was not their pick for the singer.

Storm better than Lukas and Dilana? NO WAY! She has nothing near their stage presence. She's better looking but that's about it. I mean I would have like to see Storm do her original in a sexy lace outfit. A victoria secret outfit doing her original...getting on all fours...

mike

I think the best for SN would be Toby or Dilana. I like Lukas' original stuff so much I think he would be better of on his own. I think Magni is solid enough to be on his own as well and think he is very talented. I really loved Dilana in the begining but I'm sort of losin' it for her but that's not to say that I don't think she right for SN..know what I mean. On another note....I thought Brookie was lookin a little thicker around the middle...not fat or anything..just thicker. Anyway...Can't wait for TPC to tour...will they still be touring in the fall without SN?

michelle n.

It was absolutely, positively insane to let Storm get away. Supernova needed a fresh approach and she was the only person remaining that had it. They could have been great with her. Now... I really doubt it. I really hate to say that.

If Toby wins I'll be pissed! There is no excitement involved in watching his performances whatsoever! All the teenie boppers vote for him!
The guy that should take it all is Lukas for sure! He's such a freak and it's awesome!!!!

Give Toby credit...he's in the final four.

mike

Mike,

Nice sexist comment. Your intelligence, er, speaks for itself.

Magni is the only one Supernova should be considering, following Storm's departure. Why?

Dilana has demonstrated she's got too many me-diva issues, her career is by her own admission only about "her", and this does not make for good collaboration, the hallmark of any band with staying power. Supernova will lack synergy with Dilana as frontperson. Also, she's the same. Fine, so she's raw and edgy, and wears horns on her head to mix it up and get noticed, but one gets really sick of the sandpaper voice and Bono theatrics. It's been done.

Toby is lovely, and he's Billy Idol lite. He's a pro, certainly, but doesn't have the weight to carry off fronting a band like Supernova. It's going to be tough enough to try and compete, stage wise, with the likes of a Tommy Lee, let alone a Jason Newstead and Gilby Clarke. These are heavy weights. Toby as lead? Not feeling it.

Lukas? He's such a pro, never an unkind word, always ready to go, ready to rock, but he needs to work on his stage performance; too much of the thrashing rooster. Got to lose the conspicuous consumption punk look, also. And singing about his mom was not exactly rock and roll. Sorry, but real rock and roll is about being an orphan of the world. It's outsider art to the max and songs to mommy, whether painful or no, just don't wash, man! The Folk scene awaits.

Magni. He is hot, uber masculine, he's got charisma to spare, his instrument has far more range than anyone elses, he's always changing it up, he is unique among the rest without trying, he is an arresting performer, and he BELONGS up on that stage with the rest of the kit.

I have loved seeing each and every one of these performers, seeing these artists grow, and while I'm sad to see Storme go, can't wait for finale. Congratulations to everyone. Thanks, Dave Navarro, for putting on such a great show.

Jillita

Dave,

Storm rocked this week, but I'm fine with her going since there's only a week left anyhow. Her original song was fantastic, you two looked totally hot on the stage together, and I really, really hope that you play guitar on her song. BUT, I don't see her with SN. She had fantastic chemistry with you though. :)

Rock on!
kate

yes! tonight was great!

What to say ... Dave it was such a boon to see you with Storm last night, and it had to be great for you. What a way for her to give you a lead and still command the stage. Ladylike is a song that's stayed with me all day. I voted my fingers off, for 4 hours, but alas she still ended up in the bottom 3 with the 2 that she had no chance against. I think she would still be there for us to hear next week if Magni had been there instead of her. And I though Iceland was a small country, not that I have anything against Magni I think he is on the same professional level as Storm. Tonight her performance left me in tears, she sings from her soul. As someone who lost a Mom to cancer, I agree with I Wish You Were Here as a wonderful tribute song.

My regrets that she had to go home, but I feel ( and think the 3 guys do also) that it would have been STORM LARGE with Supernova not SUPERNOVA featuring Storm Large. I just think she has that much command of the stage regardless of her clothes, or type of song she's had to sing these last weeks. She can also write, in fact I decided that my epitath is "Here Lies Me, No Apologies" from the second SN song she wrote.

She seems to be such a classy woman, professional, but fun and wild to boot. She has a new fan here who will follow her career as long as I live.

BTW ... I notice there aren't any middle america (ie Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska) dates or locations on the tour ... ok so there is DesMoines, IA in the middle of February and it's a 12 hour drive ... sorry, but only if Storm is included will I do that ... so I'll keep looking for word on that, but as far as who wins, well it really doesn't matter anymore.

I felt Dilana would be right, but the drama of having her in the group would be tough, IMHO.

Have loved the show so far and thanks for the space to rattle on.

deb an old woman Rocker in KS

Three take-aways from tonight's episode:

1. Supernova are setting themselves on a path to being utterly forgettable. I give them about a year and a half at the most. Somebody should start working on their episode of "Behind the Music," ASAP.

2. Storm Large is going to be a household name! She consistently took on songs that others couldn't sing, she showed everybody last night how to rock with a guy who can actually play guitar, she had the best performance (by FAR!) and best original song this week, and then tonight she moved people to tears.

3. Supernova wouldn't know a good rocker if one bit them on the ass with her beautiful mouth.

And you know what? I'm feeling benevolent, so I'll give you all a fourth:

4. I want to see Storm kick it with Camp Freddy!

i wanted to say i am excited to hear you are touring with sn looking forward to seeing you in toronto.

quick question you usally adress the singers after the performance . When storm sung she brought jason to tears and you had a blank expression on your face ? it seemed like jason was very emotinal about the song ? Is that why nothing was said?
alicia

Dave, awesome show as usual. Very cool tour news. Should be a fantastic show. I've never been to Vegas, New Year's seems like a good a time as any :)

To all those who can't understand Lukas when he sings I'll say this...Clean the shit out of your ears but make sure you pull your head out of your ass first or else you'll just have to do it again. Not hatin', just sayin'. I'm sure you're all very nice people, you just have questionable aural hygiene.

4 of the final 5 brought it tonight. Somebody had to go. Personally I thought it should have been Dilana. Not for the offstage crap but for how she let external pressures influence her choices.

Storm has a lot of class, and she can ROCK! She's going to do great things. I know I'll be looking and listening.

\m/ \m/

peace y'all

Brian in Calgary

Storm was robbed. Dilana should have gone home.

Toby is the man. He's the only one that will make Supernova a complete band. Lukas is great but his style doesn't fit.

I'd love to see the HB-TPC-SN show. Only problem is the closest venue is six hours away! What's up with that? No shows in St. Louis? Indianapolis? Nashville? Memphis? That's insane. Guess I'll have to visit some family in Phoenix in late February.

And will someone tell whoever is playing the tambourine for the Supernova tracks to freakin' play on beat. It's not hard.

You said you were interested in reading what people have to say. I'm new to your blog -- here you go:

Discussed in order, least favorite to favorite:

5: Toby - I'm so bewildered by people who say they want him to win. As for the comments from the couch, I can only assume that he is fun to watch IN PERSON and that much of that does not translate on TV. His voice seems very mediocre - not noteworthy in anyway. And, he seems very stiff they way he hops around on stage, and keeps his right arm along the side/front of his body. He's cute, that's all I can give... he really seems like a step below the rest in talent.

4: Magni - He has a fantastic voice. He is not an exciting performer. He has had some good performances, but his is not riveting. He would be great to listen to on the radio, not so exciting in concert.

3: Dilana - Lithium was fantastic. It really set my expectations high, and she never got back there again. I really don't care about the drama stuff -- except that I'm concerned she is taking all this to heart and may have trouble recovering from the experience. It seems like some reality show contestants come across as villians. I'm sure some people can handle life as a villian... but Dilana doesn't seem to be one of them. Anyway, she is a good performer with an interesting voice.... and the more Lithium-like performances she can create, the better.

2: Storm -- Ok, so the band doesn't think she fits well with them. This has been clear from comments in the past few weeks. She is really fun to watch, and I think she has a great voice. And, she is certainly very likeable. I would have liked to see her perform again (WAY, WAY more than Toby or even Magni), but I can respect the band thinking that she wasn't right for them. But, to speak frankly, I do not respect the fact that they didn't give her the encore. Come on, she had the best song -- what's wrong with giving her a car and eliminating her in the same show. Maybe they liked Toby's song better... but I doubt it... it certainly didn't seem like it based on the comments during the show. Come on, Tommy was going CRAZY during her performance.... crazy like we've never seen. I can't help but think the band thought it would wrong to highlight her and then eliminate her. I'm very disappointed.

1: Lukas -- When I watch past performances on-line, I watch almost all of his. He gets lost in the song, and it's fascinating to watch. He has an interesting, distinctive voice that is fascinating to listen to. He is not my favorite by much... but he is my favorite.

Where is it stated that the Panic Channel is touring with SN? Dave stated that the HOUSE BAND and some of the runner-ups would be touring with SN.

Dave, I am SO DISAPPOINTED that TPC is touring with SN. I was afraid that was the case since you mentioned in a recent SRL show that you couldn't say anything about the tour until Wednesday. I have no interest in seeing SN. I did want to see you and TPC, but I'm not going to pay SN ticket prices $$$ or have to endure their music just to see TPC. So Dave what was all that talk about playing small clubs for a couple hundred people, which you said then made TPC a band of a couple hundred members? Are you doing a small club tour before or after the SN tour? I've seen a lot of posts here by fans in New Mexico supporting you. I know the SN tour isn't coming to Albuquerque, which is fine, but I hope that TPC comes here on a smaller tour.

As far as RS:SN tonight, I had not been a Storm fan until she did her original last night. So, I thought either Dilana or Magni would be going home tonight. I don't think Storm was right for SN anyway, and she will be better off doing her own thing, just like Ryan Star. Hearing the originals though have been far more interesting than rehashed covers.

Dilana's version of Cheap Trick was just awful. Certain years of Cheap Trick have elements of punk but "I Want You To Want Me" is not punk IMO, and her faster monotone version didn't make it punk either. Recommendation: read "Lipstick Traces" by Greil Marcus.

Magni is just better in a supporting background role, but just not exciting or memorable as a front person. Toby or Lukas seems best suited and will most likely win.

And what was Jason crying about tonight? Was it over Storm's singing or that he knew they would have to send her home, or what?

OK I think Storm was the right choice, just because she has a solo career. She has been in the Bay Area and ROCKS. But Dilana's neuroses have driven me NUTS. Maybe she needs to come in and see me.

Hi Dave,

THE FINAL FOUR! Interesting fact is that none are American, so it's safe to say that the new SN singer will not be an American...

We love Dilana, she ROCKS the HOUSE time and time again! We'll buy her cds no matter what, watching her perform with a bum leg is still
mesmerising - she's a star - warts and all!!!!

We love you too Dave, you are refreshing and right on target - a true pro!

Come to Penticton, BC(soon to be home of a new $60 million event center) and drink some fine Okanagan wine.

Dilana Fans

Ya sent Storm back to Portland to be with her beloved Balls (stormlarge.com). Storm and the Balls. Yeah. Ultimately, ya knew she needed to get back to her current work/projects.

Personally, I just wish it wasn't for the "freaky" grrl look that Dilanna has that gets the ratings for *TV* (not to mention that the band doesn't like her choice of music, her lack of creative song writing ability and lack of "playing well with others". (as for "freaky", I have tats and coloured extentions and shit and well, am a potty mouth grrl from way back *g*)

As you well know, a band is a relationship. It's damn hard to keep a 1-1 relationship, but keep it happening with 3-4 others, PLUS their spouses and kids and committments... you know the drill.

The person for this next year/tour will probably be single... and free. Coming from having been in two (very very small) bands, that's the roots of it. Having someone who can also work with the new found fame and energy. I will hold my tongue on who I think. Well, no, I will NOT buy a tix to see SN in PDX when they come here, if they come with Dilanna. Sorry, won't waste my money, imo.

Love ya tons and love whatchya r doin for Indie Music! KHZ are awesome and found them through you.

Live Large and Prosper People,

In answer to this question:
-----------------------------------
Where is it stated that the Panic Channel is touring with SN? Dave stated that the HOUSE BAND and some of the runner-ups would be touring with SN.

Posted by: rsfan at September 6, 2006 09:15 PM
-----------------------------------

It was announced during the broadcast tonight.

Dave, Do you think you ACTUALLY may perform with Storm? That would be one of the hottest shows ever. Of everyone left, Magni is boring, Toby is POP, Dilana is major PMSing, that leaves Lucas. I give him 1 year before his voice is shit.
I agree with the previous postings. Jason Newsted is great but the Supernova songs have been all but impressive. Panic Channel is WAY better.

Dave...

I know its been asked but I dont think its been addressed unless I missed it, are plans in the works for RS3? I hope like hell there are!

My personal pick would be the band Crashdiet and finding a new singer for them...

I know, I Know ...not gonna happen but I would be so freaking glued to the show if it did! (well not like Im not anyway lol)

On another note, I forgot to mention earlier about how excited I am that TPC is touring with SN...that is def a major insentive to go to a show! My hubby told me you guys were on the bill here in Columbus,Ohio but I kept saying..."Well Dave hasnt mentioned that at all" ha ha ha ~ damn you for holdin' out on us! ;D I hate it when he is right LOL!

I also wanted to say that I enjoyed reading about your experience on the plane back from Vegas...ya know sometimes it seems such a small thing to relate to others a moving experience we have had, but it does mean something and it sparks conversations among others...which is always a good thing. I firmly believe in a trickle down effect when it comes to things like that, and just wanted you to know that I appreciate the fact that you shared the story with us.

As always I wish you all the best in everything you do and I thank you for the time and effort you devote to us.

much love!

I don't get it...but i am sure there was a good reason. Dilana should have gone. Gilby said one factor was all her trips to the bottom 3....wtf--she was only there once before, as was Dilana. evs
Toby is cute, but is that what SN wants? Go Lukas

Well I guess I am alone in this. I though Magni was killer. I loved it. He sounded the best with the band so far. He has been my favorite for the past several weeks. It isn't only Iceland that votes for him. Myself and all the people I work with in MA vote for him as well. Going to a show is one thing I am more intersted in buying the cd and listening on the radio. You can't do that with Dilana or Lukas. If Magni doesn't win I hope it is Toby. I really couldn't stand to see Lukas win this. I can't understand a word he sings. I already have SN tickets and i don't want to have to sell them.... oh well sorry to see Storm go it should have been Dilana. I am so over her and her Dilanadrama

Hey Dave

Can't wait to see Panic Channel in Toronto in January!!!

I was very surprised to see Lukas in bottom 3 but Brooke did say the voting is close.

I thought Lukas's performance of Headspin was even better than last night! He is so incredible to watch and he just blew me away tonight. I think he is awesome, and I hope he takes this whole competition.

I wouldn't call myself a huge fan of the show. In fact, I wouldn't call myself a fan at all. Every performance is exactly the same. Followed by the same cliched responses from the judges. "Awesome" "Killer dude" and "That was the best performance this season". It's like you're watching the same godamned episode each week. There is nothing spectacular about any of the performers. It seems their main focus is on their outfits. In a nutshell, the show SUCKS. I only watch it because of Dave. His style is incredible. And I sincerely wish that someday, I'd be able to master the art of playing the guitar, just like him.

Rock on Dave :)

Let me put something out there. What the hell were they thinking when they axed Storm tonight???? Grant it, I didn’t think that she would actually win the competition because I do not believe that Supernova is progressive enough to have a female lead. HOWEVER, I did think that she would have made it through to the final show…She f-ing BALLS TO THE WALL ROCKS!!!! Out of all of the singers, she had the advantage vocally…When she said that she could sing anything…I totally f-ing believe it!!! She even had great stage presence…who else on the show did a stage dive???? And that was before everyone started trying to one up the others!!! Magni, great vocally as well, maybe a little calm, but that has been changing. Dilana, vocally has a rocker’s cords (not as good as Storm), not good that she became emotionally crippled after making a mistake, Rockstar…the word alone exudes confidence and a strong ego…life is tough, get a HELMUT!! Lucas has a great career as a lyricist as long as someone else is singing because half of the time you can’t understand a word that is coming out of his mouth. Creative genius, probably no doubt, but fronting Supernova??? More like fronting The Cure. Toby, has definitely stepped it up; however, I could see 98 Degrees singing his original and he hasn’t done anything with stage presence but to walk out into the audience every performance now for the past two weeks. That is not really changing it up. I have three more things to say…I am thankful to Rockstar Supernova for the exposure that Storm has gotten and hopefully she will exploit the notoriety and become something greater than a one state cult following. I am definitely a fan (can you tell). Also, if it weren’t for the fact that Magni is still in the running, I would probably call it a night on the show. Again, IMHO. Also Dave (BTW...great site) that ROCKS that TPC will be touring with SN!!!!

Dave-
You and Storm together were spectacular. The energy was amazing and it was a pleasure to watch. I hated to see her go, but Storm was so not roit for the band. Can you please have the producers expand on the OB:House and Panic Channel touring w/SN? Those are the dates I don't want to miss. Thanks for bringing it.
Peace.

I've exhausted my opinions on the Asylum tonight, so all I have left to say for now is:

I love the picture of the VENT. Too funny.

Good night,

I just watched the show. I wish I could say I was surprised to see Storm leave but I wasn't - she is a woman and I just don't see SuperNova wanting a woman to front them. Unfortunately, that means my favorite, Dilana, will leave also.

What I don't get, at all, is Toby. What do they see in this guy? He doesn't have that rock aura, rather, he looks like he belongs in a boy band and acts even younger.

If I had my choice w/the 4 remaining, definitely Dilana (thankfully, I don't drama drive my rock-ness), however, I think she's way too amazing for SN and would end up going solo so they should opt for a less than stellar performer. Magni sings perfectly - - Toby won't leave SN, Lukas has an ago going and could leave. It's toss.

Peace! Abby

Hey Dave - First off, great site..love the Spread Radio Live...please tell me TPC will be joining Supernova in Toronto...won't be missing that one for the world!
Completely hooked on the reality thing (what they show us, that is)...I think Lucas would work best when all is said and done. Dilana's seems bit too dramatic and annoying to work with those guys - cool voice, interesting to watch, but in a train wreck sort of way. Storm will kick it in her solo career for sure - sorry to see her go. Toby - fun & cute, but that could wear thin pretty quickly. Magni - great voice, seems like the most genuinely nice guy, but not enough edge. Bye bye...

Hi Dave,

I was really moved by Storm's performance to save herself tonight, it made me cry like most everyone else, I think. Storm is a classy lady, she seemed to genuinely enjoy everything about this competition including her competitors. No one cheered everyone on like she did when they all performed, Storm was on her feet and rockin' with each one every single time ... that's class. Hated to see Storm go, but I expected it would be Storm or Dilana, though I'm in Dilana's corner, still. Dilana is a real performer and she keeps your attention plus you can understand her ... a point Lucas lacks. I've felt it's either Lucas or Dilana for most of the show, I think Toby is coming on strong though.

I've had thoughts that the Supernova guys would have a hard time with a woman fronting the band, I DO think Dilana can pull it off ... and obviously of all the women, they have felt she was the only one that could as well.

I don't see Magni with this group ... he's just not their style, doesn't fit at all. He's great, I like him, great singer, but this is not the gig for him. He doesn't hold you in the palm of his hand when he performs like Dilana, Lucas and Toby do most every performance.

This is my first post here, but I've enjoyed reading your comments and opinions about Rock Star: Supernova. I enjoyed the show last year and think you're an excellent host ... and you know you are too! *wink* This season is really excellent and I think it will do great things for a style of music that's been overlooked too long.

I'm really thrilled that Panic Channel will be joining the tour with Supernova ... the best to you and yours, Dave ... and as Paris Hilton would say ... "You're Hot"

Sanlyn

Oh and btw has anyone else tried to go to the StormLarge.com site? Too much traffic to handle. Must say something, eh? We can post here, at Supernova, and all the other sites, but StormLarge.com is inundated with people.

Where were they last night?

I'm gonna miss my Storm fix.

deb

Bought tickets for Vancouver. It's 12 hours away but when I heard you and maybe the house band were with the tour I booked!! Will figure out how to get there later..

I agree w/ Angel eyes. This is what she posted:

Lukas in bottom 3. Anything to do with the lukewarm reception we saw on TV instead of the delicious tonguebath we didn't see? You guys really do have the influence you know. He also looked a bit confused and frightened at being in the bottom 3. I guess he has absolutely no clue that we the voters did not get to see how much love Supernova gave him last night and based on what we were allowed to hear the casual voter would probably think, oh, they didn't like that overly much, guess I'll vote for someone else. He must be thinking WTF, they loved me, but no fans voting for me?
--------------------------

Evening Dave. I’m sure the show at “The Dragonfly� was absolutely killer tonight. :-) Thanks for supporting such great causes and charities. I’m also pumped that “The Panic Channel� is going on tour with SN and the gang. *woot* Awesome, dude. :-D That’s it, Lukas *has* to win because that would now qualify as my dream concert. :-) To anyone who believes that Dave has some strange magical powers of manipulation, persuasion and control over the universe as we know it, I’d just like to say how wrong you are… Just let me finish off my 8:30pm bowl of *soup* that I’ve mysteriously started craving these past couple of weeks and I’ll continue. :-P Wow, what an elimination show tonight. I’m trying to think of a polite and positive way to talk about it that doesn’t include phrases like “complete (strong expletive) travesty.� LOL Let’s see if I can pull it off… ;-) I’m glad Toby got the encore and won the vehicle because he has been entertaining and a good babysitter for the under eighteen crowd. LOL And the person who actually takes this gig is probably going to be able to afford pretty much anything they want, including a sweet set of wheels. So “EVS� on that one—that doesn’t have me going “uh oh, uh oh, oh no.� LOL Magni performed with Supernova. I think. ;-) I’m pretty sure he did that thing with those guys, whatever it was called… something about “love.� Love is good. Go love! *woo hoo* Um… yeah. So, moving along… “Bottom three.� Well, obviously seeing one dude there made my “headspin.� ‘Sup with that? I guess it was a sneaky way of fitting in a second encore since they gave Toby the first one. Because, seriously, twist my rubber arm when it comes to seeing “Headspin� performed live two nights in a row. I (enthusiastic euphemism) LOVE that song. It’s been in my mind since the very first time I heard it and it grows in my heart more each day. Lukas is a creative maestro—I adore that cat. As Dave would say, he is “the ill.� I will follow his music career wherever it takes him. I hope the next stop is as lead singer/frontman for “Supernova.� He can do things for this band that no one else is capable of with this genius gifts for songwriting, angelic vocals and compelling, original performances. Lukas is simply “it� for me—no one else even comes close. So we come to Dilana and Storm. Storm’s trip to the finale got called on account of inclement fan support. Obviously, she rocked last night and tonight, but Dilana has a large base of (politely withholds using creating adjectives :-P)… ummm… *fans.* So, she crutches her way into the top four and Stormy gets sunny breaks with occasional tongue showers from SN and Dave. What can I say, kids? Life isn’t fair, but we all knew that, right? All may yet be well… That’s going to be my mantra heading into the final week. Go Lukas! :-)

Thank God! I have spent the last six weeks watching Storm (literally sweating when she performed), downloading every youtube video, and trolling every Storm Large blog. I can finally get my life back. When I first really got into RS:SN, I wanted nothing but for her to win the whole deal, but I now know that she is not the best fit for the group. Instead, she is a multi-dimensional talent with great looks and a kind heart. Best of all, I know that I'll have a fighting chance of seeing her in a smaller venue here in Seattle when she tours for her hew album.

Literal, annoying, self-absorbed, earnest.

So little and so crazy.

She's never let me down. She may have let herself down, but that goes right into the music too.

When she puts her experiences, her limited understandings, lack of self-awareness, attempts to work through it and self-absorption into her performances, as far as I'm concerned she's being true to the artist that showed up and just sang a song and busted out and completely mesmerized me from the start.

Then she went on an outsize ego trip and I hated that and her performances were totally about that too and I started to fall out of love.

Then reality TV slapped her around a bit and she was shaken to the core and THAT showed up in every performance too. Those crazy driven eyes careening through psycho killer and yelping away with that powerhouse voice and almost getting lost... performance art as real and in the moment as it gets.

Now she's finding her balance again and is also nicer about her co contestants. When she says she needs her fans, I believe it. When she says her fans need her, I thought what ego and how self-absorbed but its basically true.

Annoying, unmanageable, courageous, unforgettable, earnest, honest in her own way...her music is more honest than she is. All that "not getting it" analytically is saved for an instinct for music. For God's sake keep singing and thanks for letting me know that you're OK and that's what you're going to do.

I'll try to catch your live act to see if that person I saw is real, who can bring me those unforgettable mesmerizing soul exciting moments of raw music.

Love letter from a fan4life.

PS the rest of you know who I'm talking about. That's what i mean, an unforgettable presence. May not be your cup of tea but that's a once in a lifetime talent and I wish her the best.

Im amazed at that Lucas fans that come to the boards, but not surprised about the bottom 3 finish. I believe Dilana finished in the bottom 3 because of a couple of factors, mostly attitude and the self descruction she needs to overcome.

I believe Storm is good, but not suitable for Supernova, I think the fans have seen what Lucas cannot due after that Bon Jovi massacre. He can rock, but he just doesnt have that great of a voice and range. Hes like a sports car with no engine. Looks, great, but ,,,,,

I think Magni, Toby or Dilana would do a great job. If they want a woman singer, it will be easy to pick, I however can see Toby or Magni winning, their voices are better, and Toby is the best looking of the 3.

RS3 would be cool with Nikki Sixx, John 5, and Travis Barker if he changed his name to Travis Ate or something.

Predictions...

Next to go: Magni. Then Dilana, Then Lukas. Toby wins.

Thanks for doing this Dave. I'm a daily reader.

Spicey taco kisses. Burrito. Burrito.

goosehabit out.

Wait...had to add one more thing...I just read that Dilana had never heard the Who's Behind Blue eyes????? She only knew the Limp Bisquick version? Oh, man. Rock IS dead.

And...Cheap Trick is punk? I'm crying now.

P.S. Agree that Storm should have gotten the car after such a groovy orig. song performance. Also, her performance of Wish You Were Here was best in show. Beautious.

Nighty night,
Jillita

ACK ACK ACK! Mixed up Post! My original was at 7:17pm, bout the vent, got mixed up somehow with either person above me or below me!
I'd love tickets to the show, but i dont live anywhere close to CT! =P

That should have read "his" genius gifts above, pardon. :-)

Wow that had to be the sad elimination show ever. Dilana sucked, since when is IWYTWM a punk rock song, her knowledge of music is astounding. I cried through most of Storm’s performance and was fortunate enough to still be crying when Dilana was singing. Storm was never my favorite but she is so classy. Lukas brings so much passion when he sings. But I liked both his and Toby performance better last night, the sound quality was better. But the sound is usually pretty shitty. The new SN song was the most radio friendly, but Magni is just so boring on stage, I actually flipped the channel to Fear Factor during his performance. The final four really should be: Storm, Magni, Toby and Lukas. Still not sure if I will buy the new SN CD none of the songs have grabbed me, but I would buy a CD from Lukas and Toby, I liked their originals better then anything SN has turned out.

The bottom line:

5. Supernova rocks!

4. Storm got screwed bigtime.

3. The other two are talented also-rans.

2. Lukas is a 24/7 dolphin-waxer.

1. Toby is THE MAN!

Dave

Congrats to you for getting invited to add your incredible guitar playing to supernova - you and the panic channel touring with SN and the House band (along with the rockers) sounds like a great show to see

congrats to dilana - toby - magni - lukas

dilana is !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! full of great "show biz" energy---since the 1st time i heard her sing --she always got my votes !!!!!!!!!!!!

i can't wait to hear storm's new song with all of you being her band on the recording

like tommy said tonite "hell yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

you have done alot this week with the lady from the concentration camp--support for the troops ----panic channel gigs ( i do hope tonite's show was a gas gas gas!)--this wonderful space for all of us to say our thoughts----
it is a privilege to speak our voices with free speech !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

looking forward to a great finale

i send you all peace and love

allan in santa rosa ca
still drumming every day as i deal with the "cancer" that i have

music is really great thing to do for the heart-mind-soul

keep on rockin' !!!!!!!!!!

So I'm glad I already bought tickets! Only bright spot of the night, hearing you're going to be on the tour.

Very sad about Storm leaving. Worst I've ever, ever, ever felt after a Rock Star elimination. Just didn't seem right. We were all like, wtf is SN thinking? Keeping Dilana and kicking Storm? Oh well, that's what she signed up for, and hopefully she'll benefit from all the exposure. I know the world will benefit from being exposed to her. And Dave, I hope you really will back her up on that recording. Storm Large is an amazing person, a force to be reckoned with.

But I still can't help but feeling that the show just died. :-(

My wife summed it up best - She said that Storm couldn't possibly be with SN becasue 'Everybody in the band would be trying to f**k her.' Couldn't have said it better myself.

On that note, did it feel like Storm knew she was getting the boot and WYWH was her swan song? Jason seemed to know too...

Toby Rand is Toby BLAND!!! I just don't get him, he's totally blah.

Magni puts me to sleep.

Lukas is hard to understand.

Storm was a pleasure to watch and listen to when she spoke. I will buy her cds.

I feel that Dilana would be a perfect fit for SN, she gets it! She has enormous talent for this type of band. I will but her cds with or without SN.

Storm dedicated her song to her mother and I thought maybe her mother was sick/died/she missed her, and maybe Jason and, (Gilby had tears, too,) knew (as I'm sure they all do, whatever it is), but haven't read anything indicating whether something is up in her family.

I am curious to know if someone out there cares to share the info.

Hey don't be raggin' on Toby he gave another "fun" but forgettable performance.LOL!

Look Lukas was in the bottom 3 because he had to sing.All 5 had to sing at this point in the game it's not rocket science people did Toby get more votes than Lukas?You would have to have just fallen off the turnip truck to buy that one.

Jillita said, about Lukas, "And singing about his mom was not exactly rock and roll. Sorry, but real rock and roll is about being an orphan of the world. It's outsider art to the max and songs to mommy, whether painful or no, just don't wash, man! The Folk scene await."

Apparently you're unfamiliar with Motley Crue's song Nona, written about Nikki Sixx's grandmother when he was having a hard time coping with her death. Real rock and roll is about the power of the emotion and the music, not about the subject matter.

Dave, you're a hell of a guy, with the respect you give your fans by providing this medium for all of us. Good luck to you.

Dave. You guys knocked it out of the park during your appearance on The Tom Leykis Show. I saw you at Kate Mantilini's and you are the most down to earth and cordial rock god on the planet.

Hey... what are we all going to be watching in two weeks time? :(

I don't want the show to end :(

Dessa:

I am so sorry for your loss. It must be difficult being an army wife, or having a family member who is a cop, fire fighter or even security guard. It is a difficult choice you made to have that be part of your life. I agree with what one of the previous people wrote ..... you do whatever you have to do to get through this kind of tragedy. There is no right or wrong, just whatever you need to do. If you need to get angry, then get angry. If you need to scream, then scream, as long as it is not self-destructive or hurts others. You have a tough road ahead and I hope you meet the challenges of the next little while with courage.
The one thing that I have learned is that the love you have for your husband doesn't die, it lives on. The love lives on. The love you feel for your husband will always be there, and that is a blessing, especially in the days, months and years ahead.

This season has been amazing! Storm has been my favorite from day one, but every contestant was hugely talented in their own way.

We probably would never have had a chance to hear some of these rockers without RS:SN, and aren't we lucky to live in a time and place where this kind of entertainment can come into our living rooms? And we can still enjoy it with people from all over the world via message boards.

So many people got very emotional about their faves this time around - more so than last season. The negative tone of their comments was kind of odd to me - it was worse than red states vs. blue states in the last two U.S. elections. This is Rock and Roll! Every great performance was a gift. You aren't supposed to rip apart someone who gives you a gift! Who does that?

Supernova will pick the right person for their band, and many of us will disagree with their choice, but we are the winners because we have had the chance to meet some amazing musicians. I'm excited about new music again. Thank you Dave!

I couldn't help but notice that you beat on Storm the entire season. Is that because you really thought she sucked or is because she took it like a man and you were trying to break her?

I think you made a terrible mistake by selling her short. You and Supernova neglected to take her seriously - I think you had a preconceived idea as to what she was all about and you foolishly and stubbornly held on to that idea. And now that there's no possible way that you can justify holding it any longer, suddenly you're her biggest fan and you want to perform with her? Shame on you! 'Cause afterall, she is the one that has grown the least, right? Which is it? Has she always been awesome or did she suddenly grow 3 ft overnight?

Not happy with the choice, should have been one of the other 2. Dilana is just too driven by ego and Lukas, well can't understand a word he sings and I cringe everytime he gets on stage. Storm should have out lasted both of them. I want Toby or Magni to win. But in saying that, would prefer Toby not to win because his band is great and would be able to make it, probably outlast SN for that matter. I think SN have their faves though and I think Dilana and Lukas are those, just purely based on their image, because their voices are nothing to rave about.

thanks for lovin storm, scarecrow. you're a good guy.

peace

They should change the name if Toby wins from...ROCK STAR...to ...POP STAR..ewww
And Storm should of had the Encore...and Lukas you ROCK hun!

Halló Dave.

DO YOU EWER SLEAP?
How can you get ower all the things you are doing? I hope you are taking good care of you, because we, your fans, want to be with you for many years.

I admire how you´r taking care of us and blogging and I love your radio show. The worst thing about the radio is the timeing (I live in Iceland and it is in the middel of the night).

Thank you for being a STAR and I wich you & TPC would come to Iceland.

Love, Josa

Hey Dave,

I notice in Lukas's bio they compare him to Jeff Buckley.I know Butch Walker is a big Jeff Buckley fan.I know you guys have the rights to at least some Buckley because we have seen it already.

When the hell is Lukas going to do a Jeff Buckley tune?

I agree with you aussie chica, Toby's band Juke Kartel is awesome and he so much better off losing so he can return to them and make it with them. He deserves to go further than what SN can offer.

To the fool posting the "burn in hell" comment...karma's going to get you.

At about 300 comments already here ... Dave, if you are going to read all of these when you get home from the Dragonfly you better put on a pot of coffee!!

For those of you who missed Dave on SRL earlier today (like I did), it is rebroacasting right now. :)

Dave, love you and love SRL 'specially.

With regard to Storm... I think she's fantastic. I also think that Supernova made the correct choice. Besides having a very different vibe than they do, she's a leading lady - not the frontwoman of a supergroup. It would have been "Storm Large with Supernova", not "Supernova (with Storm Large)".

I look forward to everything she does. And I'll go see TPC for sure, but Supernova? Evs.

Um, you need to fill EVERYone in on tour info ASAP!

Ahhh, Stormy... so sad to see her go, but then again... would she have really won in the end? I think not. However, I would totally pay to see Storm come to town, playing a smaller venue (Commodore Ballroom, anyone??) and ROCKING the place!! I would pay double to see you, Dave, on stage with her, playing guitar! (A girl can dream, right?)
Still wondering what the "behind the music" story is re: Jason's tears... ?? My spouse claims WYWH is a song that often brings musicians to tears... which I accept, but... in this case... 'Splain, Lucy!! Anyhoo, thanks, Dave! I *love* your blog, and FTR, my money (for better or for worse) is on Dilana.

Hey Dave - I personally think Storm deserved the encore tonight... her original song KICKED ASS! And you guys performed great together - glad to hear you'll be working with her in the future. I continue to be surprised by how much Supernova seems to like Lukas - I just don't like his sound, and I thought his original song was mediocre at best. Looking forward to the finale next week! Keep blogging!

So... Lemme get this straight. Storm obviously had the best original last night, everyone said so. Yet, she didn't get the encore. And then, while sending her home, everyone from Dave to Jason begs her to play with her because she's so awesome. And then she gets sent home? What the fuck? Pardon me, but isn't this about finding a singer that you all want to be in a band with? The fact that Storm got sent outta there before Dramalama is shocking and offensive. I get the feeling that she is being kept around one more week to see if it's at all possible for her to stop talking about the poor poor situation she's in for more than 5 seconds. Something I don't think she could do. Newsflash Dilana, ALL of you are in a fishbowl. For some reason, all the other hamsters chose not to rip people apart behind their backs and then say "sorry if your feelings are hurt" which you will notice isn't "sorry for what I did, I'm a bitch". One who sounds like she's gargling cigarette butts at her 65th birthday party every time she opens her mouth to speak or sing. My 6 year old can write way better lyrics than Dilana. Ctrl-Alt-Delete? Are we serious? That's what she is bringing to the table and SN kept her over Storm?

This show gets weirder and weirder and makes me wanna strangle Gilby and Jason more and more. Are we all finished licking Dilana's ass crack yet? Are we? Can someone let me know when we are?

I’m still in shock.

Watching Storm this week was one of the most jaw dropping, spine tingling, utterly fucking amazing rock moments I have witnessed. To send her home tonight after Tuesday makes no sense. Granted Gilby Clark wouldn’t know talent if knocked on his dressing room door. (Quick someone offer him a position in record label management!) But Jason and Tommy should know better, guess this was never really a talent competition.

It really does go beyond Supernova in the big picture though. Remember Storm’s “Ladylike� and pull up the top 50 songs on Billboard.com. Hell, compare Storm to any artist on any billboard list. The music industry is in a full throttle death spiral and the controls are locked.

All hail Gilbly Clark king of record industry suck.

Hey Dave,

I was really mad all day that Storm was the one leaving (especially after Tuesday's incredible performances), but I now realize that she's better off. I would have liked to see her perform one more week, but she got to go out on her own terms. She sang a song that she wanted to sing and I cried! What an emotional performance (I know her story) and a classy exit. Storm, I look forward to buying many of your albums and watching you, Davey and the rest of The Balls kicking some ass on tour some day! Thank you Rock Star for giving us an amazing performer to look up to.

WTF? Someone dissed Lukas for singing about his mom? I guess they never listened to Pink Floyd! Sheesh!
Mother do you think they'll drop the bomb?
Mother do you think they'll like this song?
Mother do you think they'll try to break my balls?
oooooo ahhhhh mother should I build the wall?

Hi Dave! I love your comments on the show and you were tops out on stage with Storm on Tues. I was sad to see her go. I thought she'd built up some momentum.

I was also sad to have Lukas NOT go. He sounds the exact same on each song and doesn't keep my attention. He's also too jumpy for my tastes - he's made me dizzy (and not in the good way) from watching him - especially during his SN track. Come to think about it, I thought SN looked bored during his performance of their track.

My claps and cheers will continue for Dilana, Magni and Toby - I'm happy if any one of this trio ends up the winner.

Dave, the TPC album is fabulous!! It's in constant rotation on the iPod. Now if I could you to visit UT on your tour!

Dilana + Supernova ='s success! She's the one :-)

1.when is TPC coming to the uk
2.will SN BE WITH YOU?
3.actually TPC album yesterday in virgin!
4.i bought it!

Dave,

Supernova w/Dilana, The Panic Channel, and The Houseband? That is history in the making and I am planning my trip to Vegas RIGHT NOW!

Hey Dave! I am upset to see Storm go but at the same time my money's on Toby. Lukas is good but half the time you are unable understand what he says and that bothers me. Dilana, I am afraid she is not going to return from what happened any time soon. If she wins their shows will not be sold out later, people don't trust her now. You could be the most amazing performer in the world but if you lose the respect and trust of your fans you are screwed. Storm always seemed to be there for the opportunity and the music. Winning was in the background. And that to me shows integrety and honesty. I am not sad for her she will go so far in the very near future. Toby has a star quality that is not arrogant which makes him so appealing. His looks don't hurt him either. (hee hee) I think he is the right fit for SN. But then again, what do I know. I am just a person who watches tv.

2hip - you put it so well!!!

Thank you for saying what I was trying to say...!!

First time poster, long time reader.

I was all about Dilana since day one til the past few weeks when Toby snuck into the picture somehow. Where did that guy come from?

He seems to have the whole package... the looks, the sound, the song writing, the energy, the fun, etc etc etc.

I'd be happy for either one of them really. And I'm with a lot of people, I'd go see Dilana wherever she ends up.

PS - I wasn't planning on buying tix to SN until I heard TPC was playing! What a great lineup.

Dave - Will Storm be on SRL Thursday? (please?)

Good choice tonight, but unexpected. I thought she'd be around a little longer. BUT, as good as her voice is, I found myself getting irritated by her constant mugging for the camera. I mean, the expression on her face whenever one of the other contestants was nominated would have been more appropriate for someone witnessing a jet plane flying into a building - not a stupid nomination. OVERACTING 101. You know, like when someone says something even slightly funny, make sure to throw your head back in wild laughter. Also, I think she tended to try to "one-up" the other contestants. Magni gets voted into the bottom three and reacts with a "alright, yeah", like it's a good thing. Kind of a cool move. Storm gets nominated directly afterward and reacts with a "AWRIGHT! YEAH!" The same thing, but BIGGER. Lucas sings a heartfelt and emotional song dedicated to his mom. Storm then sings a MORE heartfelt and emotional song to hers, complete with the tear down the cheek. The same thing but BIGGER. There's no doubt that the girl is really talented. Great voice, and easy on the eyes. But I'm afraid she's spent too much time in front of a mirror perfecting her "emotions". Reminds me of a stage actor - React BIG so the folks in the back can see. I see... I see Broadway in her future.

First time poster - long time lurker -- I'm compelled now to comment because I think as a long time music fan and a first season RSSN viewer, it's hard to be comforted by what is sure to be a fantastic *to be continued* career for Storm Large (and her balls). I remember her from Flower SF in her infancy, so to speak, and saw her grow on this show, for which I was so stoked for her. I also see how this industry can take its toll on talents of her caliber. Everyone's probably right that SN was not looking for a Storm Large - she would most certainly "outshine" them, but so many boards I've read this season had comments about her early on that showed me that they truly didn't get her at all. I feel sorry for the music industry now -- sophisicated melodic songwriting and tremendous diverse performances hold no bearing in today's short-attention-spanned world. I'm a huge fan of Storm's (obviously) and will continue to support her future. I also can't help but think that that mansion and the SN show will be severely amputated by the loss of such a compassionate, hard-core, bad-ass, fun-loving presence. I wonder if SN was scared of the "overshadowing" factor of her "larger" than life energy she exudes? What a shame. Really a damn shame. Play with her Dave, YOU'RE renewed instincts are correct. If it wasn't an authentic gesture ....I'm a new breed of cynic for sure.

It was great that Dave and Storm took the stage together last night. Made me realize that I had only seen Storm solo, and it made me want to see her rock with SN. So sorry that didn't happen - she deserved it, and SN missed out. I think her sheer talent and professionalism could have made SN a great band. I just don't see that happening with the others. Don't understand why everyone doesn't agree with me! And to keep Dilana on instead - yikes! What the what was up with that?

Hi All, how's everyone tonight.
Dave, how did the fundraiser go tonight, let us know. thank you for all you do to make the world a nicer place.

Dave, thanks a lot for puttin out the good words for Storm Large.I can't even start to describe how I feelin right now...I'm sad that they booted Storm out but am quite relieved that she wouldn't have to sing Supernova's songs(coz they suck dude!)....thanks again, man.

Kendra, TPC in Houston in October? My hubby has a cousin in H-town named Kendra? Cool! Would be nice if you were her.
Thought Storm brought it this week all three performances, but after letting Ryan go last week, I wasn't surprised about this one either.
Dave, I hope you had a great turnout and a great gig tonight.
I am trying to get my hubby to listen to SRL and read your blog. I am trying to get him to see the intelligence behind the guitar. I was born in 67 too (12/13/67)
Anyway, want to see the "bed head" as I missed the pic.

Linda from San Diego, did you say stayed around to see "ryan record some songs"? He was there? Please tell me as I am dying to know....

I'm sick of hearing Dilana's 'oh woe is me' comments along with her butchering of classic songs. I want you to want me is an all time favourite of mine and she freakin murdered it.

You commented 2 weeks ago about how it was good to see her get over the whole media thing and get on with things. Well she hasn't gotten over it and she hasn't gotten on with things and we are forced to hear about it over and over until we vomit.

Storm was never going to win it but at least she has spunk. Dilana is just a whiney bitch with a narrow range that she hides by screaming every time she goes outside the boundaries of that range.

The house band has saved all the contestants asses on many an occasion but the last 2 elimination performances by Dilana, even those guys couldnt pull it out of the fire.

I'd buy a cd of Magni or Toby with the house band over a cd of lukas or Dilana with Sn any day of the week. Now that TPC is on the tour as well maybe SN will be the opening act for both the house band AND TPC. That would be about right.....

I emjoy watching and listening to you every Tuesday and Wednesday. What are we to do when Rockstar ends? Will you do a conference call with a bunch of us on those days in the future? We can just listen to music, critic it and gossip. Sounds fun!

Give my love to Lukas and pray to God that he is the one fronting Supernova. Without him, they don't stand a chance past this album. They got the momentum from the show now; however, without it, they are going to need excitement and Lukas is the only one there that brings it. Headspin is an amazing tune. I am sure that the other contestants could not of done two slower songs and still kept the audience so interested. We were actually upset when his set was over. I wanted more. I need more. Good luck Lukas. Love from Indiana!

I was stuck on Storm since she did Anything, Anything.

She *has* to release that song. It was fantastic.

Damn...well over 300 posts now! I love Storm and can't wait to hear her song w/ D-Nav playing lead guitar...when you know him like I know him, you can call him D-Nav. hahahahahaha

Dave - Are TPC opening for SN for their entire show...or just the 2 Vegas shows?

This is important cause I need to look into plane and show tickets ASAP if Im gonna be goin to Vegas to see you all! FUN!!!!

Hope the Dragonfly show was great...can't wait to read all about it at the Asylum.
Love, Amber :)

Amendments to next year's Rockstar contract:

1. All dishware will be plastic,

2. All studio rehearsals will be held in the new facility, Rockstar: Moon Walk.

3. All contestants will be charged against their cigarette account for any broken furniture which is the result of brawling and/or horseplay.

4. Alcohol will no longer be free in the mansion during certain times of the day, like breakfast, and during certain show elements, like songwriting challenges. If any contestant wishes to drink during these times, they may avail themselves to the cash bar. The cash bar does not accept cigarettes as payment for alcohol during breakfast or working hours.

5. During times of crisis intervention when police, fire, and/or rescue units must be called to administer medical or psychiatric emergency care, the cameras will be turned off. However, when any administrator of the network and/or show production company and its officers or executives adjourn to the mansion to administer stern consternation, at least three cameras shall cover every angle of this event simultaneously and in its entirety. One camera must be trained on the book depository at all times.

Let me write my question correctly...geeez....

Dave - Are TPC opening for SN for their entire tour...or just the 2 Vegas shows?!

Proof reading would probably help! haha

Dave,
There is no way in hell that Storm, goddess that she is, should have gone home before that train-wreck called Dilana. Go Lukas!!!

Dave - First, thanks for the fun! Looking forward to seeing Panic Channel and Supernova in Long Beach : ) I'm sure the SN guys will pick whoever they think fits them best - every performer knows when it "clicks" and when it doesn't. So they'll pick the click for them. And it should be a hell of a fun ride!

Studiokat said "The house band has saved all the contestants asses on many an occasion but the last 2 elimination performances by Dilana, even those guys couldnt pull it out of the fire.

I'd buy a cd of Magni or Toby with the house band over a cd of lukas or Dilana with Sn any day of the week. Now that TPC is on the tour as well maybe SN will be the opening act for both the house band AND TPC. That would be about right....."
You said it! The house band has saved many of the rockers week after week, the guitar player has more talent in one pinky than Gilby has.
Dave & the HB probably just saved the tour from bankruptcy...and SN from oblivion.

Storm & Ryan will be looking down at them...

Love the vent.

Sharon, look in the Jan-06 blogs, it is in there:)

I'm not here to vent...just to say that since TPC is touring with Supernova I will now spend the money to go see the show.

Dulcinea--very cool, great ideas!

WOULD SOMEONE PLEASE CALL CHEAP TRICK AND TELL THEM THEIR PUNK. I'M PRETTY SURE THAT WILL BE NEWS TO THEM. Or maybe Didliana thinks she made it punk? By singing.....uh, screeching it really fast? What a joke. All I could think as I was watching her is she looks likes someones drunk, chain smoking aunt making a fool of herself singing at a wedding.

Storm proved this week that she is not right for SN by showing just how talanted and diverse she is. Storm is no ones front. She shall shine on her own. But she did not deserve to go before Didriana.

It was great to see Lucas in the bottom three. I just do not enjoy watching/listening to him at all. I really figured Magni would go tonight and my guess is so did SN. He gets to do a going away song with them.....and then.....oops...he's not in the bottom three- definate shock on their faces.

I would pay to see SN with Toby because I think it would be a fun, high energy show. And what a smart move to include the house band and other finalists.

But Dave.....dang.... now you too. That is too much. I don't suppose you could maybe put in a word to the band and swing up my way for a concert in Alaska? We love you up here too!

So cool to see you perform Suffragette City with Storm last night. On another board I had posted that as my "dream song" for Storm to sing. You guys had great chemistry. Hope you're serious about playing again with her in the future.

After last night's brilliant performance it was depressing to see her go, even though it was obvious it was coming. Good for you for sending her off in style. Class deserves class.

Dave:

First time blogger -Great Job with this show! When Rockstar started last season, I wrote it off as another cheesy fucking American Idol for the masses without ever seeing it. Then,I got stuck watching TV recovering from a hangover in a hotel on a bad business trip, and have been a fan since. Now I'm getting hooked on the Internet site and related blogs (Fucking marketing genius). This season the performanace are incredible, especially the last 2 weeks. One suggestion would be not to feature the bottom 3, especially early on in the season. Too much TV time for the mediocre performances when I would rather see Lukas or Dilana kick ass. Have regionals and promote the best into the finals! Feature the best not the worst!
Keep it up!

Last thought - Yes it was Storm's time to go ... Although I will miss looking at her. Ironic though because it was her best performance this week.

I have had the pleasure to see Storm and the Balls numerous times at Dantes here in Portland. I have never voted on any of the reality shows and I vowed to never watch Rockstar (too sad with INXS and just not into T. Lee).... but I voted and voted and voted for Storm Large!!

This woman rocks and like many of the other posters commented, she is a true talent. In the end, it is sad to see her leave because she was the only reason we had to tune in. There is just something so magnetic about her and anyone who sees her live gets hooked.

I have to admit, she got further than I thought she would because she just isn't right for Supernova. That is a good thing though! This "super band" sucks and I have yet to be impressed by anything they have played. As Gilby (who really sucks the most) would say - just not memorable. If this is any sign of things to come, INXS just played a casino along the Oregon Coast.

Welcome home to Storm, we are thrilled to have her back. Can't wait for her to put out another album!!!!!!

PS.... I think these fellas could really use some of your input because you seem to have a much better grasp on what is good and what is not.

Hi Dave!
Well, still 4 hours before the elimination show airs here downunder. I couldn't help myself... had to purposely check for spoilers! haha
a shame to see Storm go!
Well I presume Supernova will only tour in Australia if Toby wins, no offence to him, but I would only pay for tickets if The Panic Channel were touring with them.
I looooove Toby but am not liking the SN music and think any of these guys would be better off solo.

Sooooooooo Dave, the question, will TPC ever tour over here?
Melissa

Dave,
Toby needs to stop going into the audience. The first two times it was fun but now it is becoming predictable. This is now between Toby and Lukas at this point. Toby needs to give a performance that will knock our socks off at the finale and stop the frat boy jumping around. He need to bring more emotion he's performaces are to much alike week after weeks. If Lukas doesn't win next week, I will be absolutely stunned.
P.S. I expect great things from Ms. Large. She is definitely going places!

DAVE WHY IS THAT FREAKING LADY JANET CHARLTON SAYING THAT STUFF ABOUT YOU? IF IT IS NOT TRUE WILL YOU PLEASE SHUT HER UP! I AM REALLY GETTING SICK OF READING ALL THE LUKAS IS WINNING CRAP, ON OTHER ROCKERS SPACES IT IS NOT FUNNY AND YOU NEED TO PLEASE PUT HER IN HER FREAKING PLACE.

Long time reader, first time poster.

Okay, here it goes...

Firstly, thank you Dave for giving us the forum to talk to you and allow us to discuss our thoughts with someone that is somewhat involved in the show.

Secondly, last week I was so angry about Ryan Star getting the arse. I had always enjoyed his performances and I honestly thought Clocks was awesome. I LOVED his original, so much so, I got off my arse and bought his album off Itunes. Yay Ryan.

Thirdly, the show has not aired yet in Australia, but accidentally stumbled across some spoilers and I am yet bitterly disappointed. Storm was the most rocking person at the performance show. Her original WAS original and it was catchy and freaking awesome! (I have also sought that out via My Space).

So who is left...

Dilana, who can sing, yet doesn't show much diversity in terms of stage prescence and away from the stage conducts herself in a way, that even me - her biggest fan at the start, was left with a bitter taste in their mouth. Also - another thing, she chose a song that says FU to HER FANS! The people that have kept her in the competition thus far! I was offended, especially since I spent some of my hard earned dollars on keeping her in!

Lukas, mumbles WAY too much, and I couldn't understand what parts of the song he was doing at Livin on A Prayer. When he opens up his voice... he is good.

Magni - he looks like he is tiring. That saddens me since, I really enjoyed his 'I alone' performance a few weeks back.

Toby, I am not only saying this because he is a fellow Aussie and Melbournian (though we all believe he invented the saying "EVS" because none of us have ever heard it in our lives), he is a serious contender. Performing the Supernova song as well as the Billy Idol song - was awesome. It was like he found his medium and he has just ran with it. Good luck Toby!

Best of luck with the tour Dave.

Look forward to getting tickets when you guys get Down Under! :)

Miss Rhi
xxxxx

For those of you upthread who were asking when did Dave become a scarecrow.........Storm's reference was that she was Dorothy and he was the Scarecrow in the Wiz of Oz and when she was saying bye to Oz, Lion, Tin Man & Scarecrow........she was gonna miss the scarecrow the most. So with the rest she said, T.Lee was the Tin Man; Jason the Lion and Gilby was Oz. That's how I interpreted it anyway.

And by the way Magni did a great job tonight fronting Supernova. I can't believe that people are saying what they are about Magni he is a class act. And the man can sing how can anyone take that away from him. Can we put some CLASS back into ROCK PLEASE!

Dave- you've gotta play with Storm. That was so freaking fantastic. The Panic Channel was great when I saw you, but come on, you had to feel the magic playing with Storm... We all saw it... Damn!

As for tonight, well, it was just an insult from the Supernova guys and Mark Burnett to many of us fans. Yep, the fix is on. Obviously, the show feels bad about Dilana's injury, the biased editing, and now they're taking her along to the final week-- for what? So we can endure another performance like today? Dilana's performance tonight felt like the end of a grade school talent show, when you cheer on the special kids for their effort. Please don't let her hop around anymore. She seems like a very nice person, but honestly, she has had this complete meltdown before our very eyes... It's just sad. She needs to take some time and get perspective and get healthy again... away from the cameras. If Dilana goes on tour with you guys and not Storm, well, that is just a crime. Storm seems to be such a pillar of strength among all of these wacknuts, and she brought the rock.

And what's up with Jason crying? That just killed me. Made me cry too.. We could tell that Storm was going home, she knew she was going home... that's why that song was so emotional... But, tonight was not her night to go. Maybe Jason was crying because he lost the fight to keep her on the show? It's be so interesting to hear their individul picks...

At this point, I don't care if Lukas plays with Supernova. The ticket I'd pay a lot of money to see is Magni and Toby fronting the House Band, and The Panic Channel with guest Storm Large. And of course I'd pay money to see Storm and Toby perfrom together again...

By the way, I don't know why more people didn't love that Evenesence song that they covered together... LOVED IT!!!! LOVED IT!!!!

Poor Dilana. She's a great performer. This just is not meant to be. We can all see that. Please, Dilana stop hopping... Too bad Storm had to pay the price for all this drama... TAKE STORM ON TOUR!!!!

First time postin on 6767...I totally dig the site, and I started listening to the radio station the other day and have been recommending it to my like minded friends, keep up the wicked job, your aces!!

To bad about Storm going home, I liked her alot, I think Lukas will fit with the band the best and he should take home the win...

On your interview with the Dark Horse you were commenting on the youtube clip of him doing head like a hole, I checked that out after the interview and I agree that was a crazy rendition...Have you youtubed Storm yet? she's got some pretty crazy songs on there 2, made me like her even more, check out Great Day by her on that site, its 8 minutes but its totally nuts!...

take it easy, hello to everyone else postin :)...

Jeff G (the G cause there is another jeff on here 2...two diffrent people!)

Last night I thought Lukas was great. I found myself singing that to myself. Also, his look at the camera at one point. Wow, was great. I have gone from thinking Lukas might be big trouble on a personal level, to feeling that he probably is the one for SuperNova.

Lukas! yep.

Dilana was good but sadly shes no songwriter.

Storms original was great. Shes really great. Shes got a real no nonsense rough trade sexy thing going on there.

Magni I thought was the one a few weeks ago, but not anymore. Hes become a bit of a smartass lately and also, he just doesn't seem to have that edge or passion to win that the others appear to. Thats just a feeling. I find him a bit dull to watch to be honest.

Toby just doesn't do it for me at all. I don't really like the quality of his voice or his original. To be honest in Australia where I live, so many male rockers sound like Toby. The James Reyne sound seems to be a strange thing that male vocolists in rock seem to emulate often. Go figure.

So for me, I think it has to be Lukas

I will miss this RockStar series when it finishes. Its been great. I will miss seeing you to Dave. You really rocked with Storm. Fantastic.

I'm so pissed. I wasn't originally a storm fan. I was all about dilana. But she's started to really piss me off, especially the fuck you song to the fans idea. I mean, come on, the fans sent her to the bottom three because she bad mouthed her fellow players, then she bad mouths the fans. Totally uncool.

Dave, My view in the cheap seats: for me the two that have brought it from the beginning are Dilana and Lukas. They fucking own it when they are onstage. I can't NOT watch them. Dilana has been so strong and raw in a few numbers she scared me. In that good Chappaquiddick sort of way. Lukas has that glam rock thing and great presence. Funny they are both tiny, but giants on stage.

My only small problem with Lukas is he mumbles an awful lot - since it will all be new material we won't know the lyrics beforehand, so if I can't understand what he's singing that might get a little trying. Hmmm... will the SN Cd come out early enougfh to read the lyrics first?
As far as the Dilana reality shit - couldn't care less. It's not like she was clubbing baby seals or something. This is rock, I don't need her to be "nice". Blech. If I wanted nice I'd go see Michael Bolton... but I'd rather rip my own head off.

Some of performers have given some great moments too: I've grown to love Storm over the past few weeks. Sorry to see her leave and will definately go see her and the Balls. (loved "Ladylike") Toby brings a lot of fun energy, although he's a little bit boy band for me. Magni - like him a lot, very solid performer week after week, but I think you nailed why he's not quite "it" - he's missing the raw edge.

So although I'd be fine with any of them, I'm hoping for Dilana or Lukas - hey they sang a pretty cool duet early on - how about both? And PS - how about the fearless and fierce Lady Zayra for a guest moment with OB:House or PC? Damn - her arrangement of Jenny was fucking brilliant, loved All the Young Dudes and her original spanish song was gorgeous.

I'm very disappointed that Storm was let go, although I KNOW she will do better without Supernova. The show gave her the exposure she needs. Now she's gonna kick ass!! However, I sure thought it was hypocritical of everyone to say they'd play for Storm, and you saying she's got the band with the 4 of you...um, if that's how you all felt, then she shouldn't have been booted. I understand it was all said for show and support, but still....very hypocritical.

As for the final 4... Lukas is TERRIBLE. If it weren't for the teenyboppers voting solely on looks rather than talent, he would have been gone a long time ago. Seriously, the way he sings, I can't even imagine listening to him on the radio. Who the hell would be able to understand what he's even singing? It's all mumbles and growls. When I listen to music, I want to be able to at least understand the lyrics...ugh, Lukas is terrible!

I liked Dilana for most of the show. However, the poor showmanship she's demonstrated lately leaves a bad taste in my mouth. However, I still like her voice, and think she can rock with the best of them.

Magni...I like him, but he didn't seem to "fit" well with the band tonight. Still, I hope he has a great career...

Toby...out of the 4 left, I'd love to see him win. He's audible, energetic, a definite crowd pleaser. He's got an incredible voice with a great range, and his original totally ROCKED!!! He's young enough and good-looking enough to draw in the younger crowd, which Gilby, Jason, and Tommy would not be able to do. They'll bring the older crowd (yes, my crowd, lol). But Toby will ADD to the older crowd as well. I hope he wins it. He's awesome!

"I have to admit, she got further than I thought she would because she just isn't right for Supernova. That is a good thing though! This "super band" sucks and I have yet to be impressed by anything they have played. As Gilby (who really sucks the most) would say - just not memorable. If this is any sign of things to come, INXS just played a casino along the Oregon Coast."

I love these sorts of assinine comments the best they are gold.I really like it when some dickwads fave doesn't win and they gone on and on about how my rocker is better than the band and they will suck compared to my booted fave and it's their loss and this band will never get of the ground.

What a crock of SHIT!First off people back a winner doesn't matter if it's in sports or politics or a music competition.The winner gets the big prize.Will the band be the next U2?Probably not but they will be at least moderately successful.Of yeah INXS let me think if I was to guess how much cash Fortune had in his bank account a year ago I'm guessing somewhere less than $1000.So now he's got what 2-3 million anyway?Yeah that's what I call a big loser right there.

Oh big PS - a few posters have commented on how great Suffragette City was with you and Storm - may I add a hearty "hell yes!" A few mentioned you should have her come do a few numbers with PC - here's another "hell yes!"

Ooh - it's like a dream team thing : )

So glad to hear that you are touring with SN!! I will be there in Vancouver!!

Wow, Storm went home BEFORE Dilana....putting aside what went down with Dilana, I still don't think that she should be a part of SN. Why?? She just doesn't have the spark that SN has/she really isn't that diversed as a singer. She needs to change it up some. She just doesn't wow me-maybe it is because she sings each song the same. Know what I mean. Plus, with a crappy attitude like she has, it would be a bitch touring with her!
I was surprised to see Storm leave-she was growing on me & I loved her 'original' song last night. She will do well tho'.
Magni....he is very boring on stage. He plays the guitar/ditches the guitar/WALKS (well, saunters) to the front of the stage & walks back again. All this, & he doesn't interact with the rest of the band-he isn't a solo artist. Also, he doesn't have the 'connection' with the audience.
Lukas...hmph...great stage presence, but most of the time he is a marble mouth & I can't understand what he is singing.
Toby...he is doing really well-it is like he is comfortable being himself on stage-he has really stepped up. Great interaction with the crowd & band. He has turned it up over the past couple of weeks.

Dave, I just love you! You made Storm the real winner tonight when you pledged to back her in future. I hope that will soon become a reality--stars colliding! I knew it was going to be Storm when Tommy couldn't stand to deliver the blow--it will be hard to watch next week without her. Even though she was perhaps not the ideal front for SN, she was the heart and soul of the troup--giving her all each performance and forever cheering on the other competitors. Speaking of them: Magni--Oh, well, I guess the whole of Iceland must have called in for him this week; no other way. I have a feeling that SN is going to go with Toby when it seems to me that they actually would benefit in the long run by choosing Lukas. Toby is a boy in a band and will always be; Lukas brings undeniable star quality and that much-abused term, edge. SN needs edge--needs.
Random: It was good to see Jason contribute again tonight--tears, even--he has been looking like not much more than a poser lately (it's the gloves. Thanks for mentioning Brooke's pregnancy--finally, her baby can be free in mom's rockin outfits! Again, you're the best, Dave; and, if I ever experience heartbreaking disappointment and on national television, I'd really like for you to be there--could ya, please?==kiss kiss--M2

Magni is an awesome singer and Dave I must diagree with you when you said he just doesn't have that down and dirty edge. I thought this was a signing contest not a Freak Show Contest, come on you have got to be kidding me the man has the best voice and his stage performance is fine. I think if he performed like lukas that would be a disgrace to rock.
And Storm should have sang the Pink Floyd song to Lukas but changed the words to singing in a Fish Bowl, because that is what he sounds like. If he wins what a totally loss for Supernova. Lukas is the worst ever I can't believe that he is even in this! Toby is a boytoy, NO WAY is he the right choice. Dilana I don't even want to comment.

Wow, I can sincerely say that Storm's performance tonight was the most beautiful and exquisite performance I have EVER seen. Deeply touching, powerful, and ultimately profound. Dave, if at all possible--will you please pass this on to Storm? I would be sincerely grateful.

I think Dilana showed great bravery and guts in her performance tonight. I don't know that I am a fan of her vocals tonight--more imporatantly I am a fan of what she outstandingly showed tonight. Now that is a 'front person' if I have ever seen one.

I will definitely be one of the many in line to purchase their cds throughout their solo careers to support them and their gift/mission.

I, Dave, still have comments that I want to say about your post about Dilana. I understand, and fully support, a person's right to their own opinion. My concern wasn't that you voiced your opinion--my concern was that I didn't feel that you comment was all inclusive or best served the already tenuous energy around this particular drama--and more importantly, your role as 'host'. Instead of saying find another blog--I was hoping that you would atleast entertain the concerns being voiced and possibly address/include them for further conversation and growth.

My large hope is that SN brings Lucas an Dilana on as co-leaders. Can you imagine the dynamics of that team? Gilby, Jason, Tommy, Dilana, and Lucas? Talk about innovative and 'kick ass'. Talk about 'dynamic' and 'magnetic'. Though, in reality I don't think that will happen. Hey, a gal can hope, right? ;-P~~ At this juncture I would be surprised if the one chosen wasn't Toby. He is probably the last person I would have thought could rise up to the challenge and position to front SN. I did look back through all the webisodes and performances as objectively as I could--beyond what I think and favorites. If you look back through all the tape--it is almost clear and certain that the gig fits Toby the best.

I think Magni flys in his own stratasphere and deservedly so!

I think Lucas is a sensivite-beautiful soul who has of yet found his 'current' to fly in. Once he can do that and accept the 'largeness' and ultimate power and beauty of himself--then everyone watch out. Lucas has yet to even begin to tap into his all-around potentiality.

Dave, you, too, are a beautiful and sensitive soul. You have your edge and darkness-though, that isn't where you 'simple eloquence' lies.

Much love for all!

Sincerely,
Jen

Cheap Trick punk???

it is like

The Spice Girls were opera!

A strayed fan from the Netherlands here... I can't watch the show on tv, but thank you internet! Sad it's not airing here, would have had lovely potential.

Anyway, Storm home? Now that was a surprise on one hand, not a surprise on the other. She rocked the house down with her latest performance, but hey, what are you gonna do if the band doesn't see it with her? Is that a case of sending the 'wrong' one home? Gimme a break...
But Storm, sad to see her go, she's hot, gorgeous and an amazing performer. I'll miss her.

But I don't get Lukas, I don't understand a word he's singing, if he is singing at all. Not liking the looks that much either, the whole Beetlejuice campaign is getting a bit out of hand for me. Plus, the attitude has been there from the beginning, not liking that much either, but nobody mentions a ruddy word about that. He's been giving sneers to his fellow contestants from the very beginning.
But we're all humans, right?

Which brings me to Dilana... So sad to see this madness around her. A couple of misplaced comments at a wrong time. Are we all saints nowadays? I hate to see a rock 'n roll saint... Give me someone with heart on sleeve, someone with flaws. I like to be able to identify myself with someone on stage. And the 'screw you' to the fans? Well, it were 'fans' who dragged the hate-sh*t out on her, fans who claimed to be supporting another contestant, but apparently felt the need to make an attempt to bring down another. Was that nice? Not really, not to mention kinda ridiculous. So yeah, a screw you for talking all this rubbish about other contestants, varying from drug addiciton to faking the injury.

Toby's sweet, love to see him touring with Supernova too, but my heart goes to Dilana. I can't wait to see the finals!

And Dave, you rocked during Storms performance, that was a nice surprise.

Lots of love from a small, cold chilly country that still remembers Dilana from her radio performance years ago.

Un-fr*ck'n believable, PC/Dave with SN, and the HouseBand? I said g*d 3AMN! That is One Hot Show!!!!! Be there in a minute . . .

Hopefully it will be Lukas "the mumbling skunk" or Dilana "the drama dwarf" that win, but only because they are the only ones out of the top 4 that are crappy enough to sing with a crappy band like SN...Magni and Toby are way to good to be with SN and would do so much better without SN.......SN might be a one hit wonder maybe, everything I have heard from them has been crap so they will have to step it up

Jason is the only real deal in this band, Tommy just wants to party and flirt with girls, Gilby I don't even know what he is thinking. Jason you rock and have played in a real rock/metal band. Please show the other two what this shit is about, you are the only one with real experience.
Metallica is one of the best bands ever and is respected above and beyond Tommy and Gilby's World. Dave I would Like you to ask Jason how a band like Metallica would feel if they had a singer like Lukas or Toby please get real the only singer that has ROCK IN HIM IS MAGNI. THIS IS ABOUT ROCK RIGHT.
I COULD SEE MAGNI SINGING IN A BAND LIKE METALLICA NEVER IN A MILLION YEARS WOULD ANY OF THE OTHERS. LUKAS SHOULD SING WITH TWISTED SISTERS THAT IS THE STAGE PERFORMANCE YOU GET FROM HIM, IT IS A REAL JOKE. TOBY SHOULD BE SINGING WITH JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE / BACKSTREET BOYS.

Congrats on the touring dates. 50 year old rocker here. I still think Dilana is a great find. She may not be as deep as Tom Waites but it's just a reflection of her past. She's the real thing. I gave up on the rockstar board due to the hate. We just love to put our celebs on a pedistal, then trash them and laugh when they fall. We did it to dilana,paris,martha. They are not evil people. I call it the Jerry Springerization of america. Trash anyone if it gets you ahead.
Thrilled to see all three bands. Give me dilana,storm and Z-girl and I'll be happy. I think Changes and Santeria could have been singles.
Enjoyed your comments on Dr Drew.

nothing to vent, it was storm's time. somehow I never get the feeling that she was suited for the band, but she would have a nice solo career.

Magni and Storm and Lukas with the House Band will be great, followed by The Panic Channel and capped by Toby Rand and Supernova. Toby is the right fit, people. He's the only one who will make the SN portion exciting to watch as a front person.

As for Dilana, that will be the portion of the show where I go to the bathroom and find a cold water fountain to sip from. She's not real smart, her voice sounds like an electric pencil sharpener and she's no victim. I'm so sick of the SHE'S BACK crap because once again SHE DID NOT GO ANYWHERE and that was THREE WEEKS AGO. I'm not gonna say she's faking her leg injury, but it definitely kept her safe for a week. Her drama -- I just don't need it. It's chemical dreaming. She's throwing it all way. Oh, oh, ooh, oh-oh, oh.

Storm, I love you. You should be in the final four. I think Supernova was scared that you'd rock SO HARD next week that they'd have to pick you and let's face it, they can't handle you.

I WOULD LIKE TO RECAP ONE OF THE FANS COMMENTS THAT JUST STICKS OUT IN MY HEAD IN REGARDS TO MAGNI AND HIS STAGE PERFORMANCE, THEY SAID MAGNI SHOULD HAVE TAKEN HIS GUITAR LIKE JIMI HENDRIX'S DID LITE IT ON FIRE AND THROWN IT ON THE LAPS OF SUPERNOVA WOULD THAT HAVE GOTTEN HIM A ENCORE. WHAT THE F DO THE WANT OR EXPECT. MAGNI YOU WILL ROCK ON FOREVER FORGET ABOUT SUPERNOVA THEY DO NOT KNOW WHAT ROCK IS ABOUT. AND REMEMBER ONE THING MOST OF THE TIME PEOPLE ARE LISTENING TO A BANDS SONGS NOT WATCHING THE BAND IN CONCERT. YOU WILL BUY THE CD, DOWNLOAD IT, LISTEN TO IT ON THE RADIO A MILLION TIMES BUT YOU WILL ONLY GO TO SEE A BAND IN CONCERT A COUPLE TIMES. SO LET SUPERNOVA STICK TO THE STAGE PERFORMANCE BULLSHIT BECAUSE IN THE END THE VOICE IS WHAT MATTERS!
MAGNI YOU ARE THE BEST ROCK ON.

It won't be the same looking at the rockers and not seeing Storm rock-out on every song...what a loss for the show. I was sorry that she didn't get to perform with SN, but when you joined her it was sweet! Anyways...I'm a Lukas fan. I'm not sure why so many peeps just don't get him. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think he's the only one to change up every cover song that he has ever done...and I don't think we saw him fight hard for a song...he takes what's there and makes it work...LIKE A ROCKSTAR. His original was great...can't get it out of my head. Peeps have also said that he may be hard for the band to control..I just don't see that...Do you?
I enjoy Toby too...but there are so many Toby's out there!!! In any case I'm a SN fan...whoever wins (GO LUCAS!) Thanks for bringing it each week. Great Show and pass on congrats to Brooke please. Hope you two host the show again next year.

6767,

Im still not sure what SN sound is gong to be like is it going to be heavy with a few ballads or is it going to be poppy ballad with a few heavies? Not sure, what I do know is Tommy Lee is a bad ass drummer and is really trying hard to rock it up with everything hes got. Jason N. (whatever)Stale. I mean COMON dude take some fucking chances and funk it up or do some walks do fucking something. Like his personality its just straight foward very sterile stuff, blows big time. Gilby is just a rhythem a guitarist at best they need a guy who can shred on lead like Navarro. Bunch of play it safe pussies I might say. Need to take risks but wait who am i kidding these guys are allready high up in the food chain why spoil there meal ticket they would never want to try to go for GLORY!!
Toby: To poppy and Teen Idol type of shit. I might take a mid western catholic girl to that show because it might get me some action later. But to take it serously No Way!
Magni: Just to polished and not deep!
Dilana: Maybe just not sure
Lukas: Is the man he can get into the moment and vibe with emotion;
Sweet TPC is playing on tour I got Tix in VA front row center!!!
Hey Dave, my girl went to the taping today and she said you are so hot!! that you look like a work of art or something. LOL I said he looks better then some of the chicks I have banged!
Later!

what can i say? so far, the SN songs all SUCK!

The guys have to step it up, otherwise they will end up as just another hyped up band.

Dave,
I was blown away again with Headspin. The emotion that Lukas taps into and then can express it in such a glorious way is really something to behold.
Exceeding expectations keeps us on the path to success)
Thanks,

Nice announcement on the show, Dave. Very cool.

Some are theorizng that all of this now is premeditated. Toby's car a consolation prize, Dilana having sung the SN tune was planned o be in the finale, therefore they HAD to send Storm home. All 4 finalists have sung a track with them. hmmmm.

Can you address this latest theory, that this outcome has been planned??

Dave, do you think the walrus was Paul? "Paul's a dead man, miss him miss him". "I buried Paul". "Come together, right now OVER me." Actually it does look premeditated. Storm WAS the only one who didn't get invited to sing a SN track. hmmmm

Hey Dave,
I’m not too sure what the age demographic is here but come on guys……Lucas?
The SN guys are veterans and come from a legacy of heavy metal…..the only thing heavy about Lucas is his ability to mumbling lyrics. Lucas acts and sings like he is going out for a Battle of the Bands try-out “coming to a local skating rink near you� circa late 80’s early 90’s.….he is not the right guy for the gig. There is nothing original about him.
Toby or Magni……they are the most likely candidates for the job.
Just a little vent ;-)
Luv ya Dave
Right on regarding the upcoming tour……..please come to Seattle.

OK, I almost NEVER post on blogs but for Storm I will . . . it gets a little long. Sorry.

1) Dave, you totally rocked! You and Storm had great chemistry and put on a hell of a performance. I'm glad you and everyone else got to see her rock it out these last two weeks.

2) Storm was robbed of the encore. She had the best original by far, especially if you've ever heard the true "R" rated version - she should have won the encore and the car.

3) I, also, never thought she would actually win but Dilana should have gone home this week. I think it's really sleazy that Gilby would make a comment on Storm repeatedly being in the bottom three when she had been there TWICE - the same number of times as Dilana (which, of course, wasn't mentioned.) When you consider that D's elimination performances SUCKED and Storm's were insanely good, there's something definitely wrong there. I don't really care about the last week of competition anymore, I'll only be watching to see you.

4) I just found out about TPC touring with SN while I was reading . . . I never would have bought SN tickets but now I will just to see you with TPC!

I hope yo DO record something with Storm. I will be a lifelong fan of hers, as I am with you.

For Sanlyn
"Storm dedicated her song to her mother and I thought maybe her mother was sick/died/she missed her,..., but haven't read anything indicating whether something is up in her family.

I am curious to know if someone out there cares to share the info."

Read her msn.live.space blog off the rockstar website. She talks about her her mother passing away recently.

~Lady Thistledown~

Classic, Dave!!

And, people, not that you are going to read this, I truly think the only person who reads the other posts here is Dave, everyone seems to just post their own stuff without looking or responding to anyone elses...

I don't think of The Panic Chanel as OPENING for Supernova...like Supernova is a headliner...I think of it more as The Panic Channel is a strong lead in, the DRAW, as it were, like on TV, when you would turn to channel 4 at 8 to watch Seinfeld or Friends, and keep it on 4 for a few minutes after the show to see what was on next...cause you couldn't find the remote...hahahha

love,
jezzi(just sorta kidding(

Was Gilby ever even IN a band? Seems dubious.

Dave, love the blog.......

Now, to everyone who keeps pissin’ about the things that Dilana has said. Have you ever met someone from Johannesburg? To me Dilana seems tame. I know someone from Johannesburg, South Africa (I’m not saying everyone from Johannesburg is like that. I’m just saying that the lady I know is a lot like Dilana). And I can tell you, blunt/truthful/rude honesty must be a law there or somethin, because I have encountered it first hand. Their culture’s expectations push them to be aggressive in their work. And to most people it comes off as someone having a huge ego, being overly rude or thinking they are better then everyone else. But in reality it is just them being very self-confident and having the drive to do the best they can. And yes, sometimes they do open their mouth before thinking, but who hasn’t done that? You have to get use to the way they are blunt and to the point. I’d take Dilana’s misconstrued ways over Lukas’s “teenage angst� and wannabe ego, any day of the week...... And to all of you bad mouthing Dilana......~*~*~ Have a nice and cheerful day!.....I wish your life to be filled with endless puppies and rainbow ponies. ~*~*~………Fear the Sparkle!

IM jealous i wish i could went to Dragonfly :(
im stuck here with my computor. blah

(I realized last night that I am bored with Magni)
Ok I get it but try to have opinion on your own.
If Dave would say that Magni is an alien then you would say. I realized last night that Magni is an alien.

watch this ... really....

Jezzi, I have to agree with you on that one. Everyone will be going to see TPC and SN will just be the following act.

P.S. I guess I am one of the few to read most of the posts on here. But some posts are clearly teenybopper overflow from SN fan sites so I just skim those ones.

Fear The Sparkle!

Me jealous too. I would rather be at The DragonFly than about to start the day here. Hope you decide to tell us about it when you get in - it's going to take you a while to read this lot! I want to whinge - if you're touring with Supernova that's great for the US. The tour dates stretch to February so far and the site doesn't mention the UK. I'm not the only one who wants to see you here! I know I'm not! If I could afford to fly over to the States and see TPC somewhere I would definitely do that. I want a small venue not a big one and wouldn't know which was best to pick. As for RS SN, gutted. Can't say who "deserved" to leave as they are all sweeties - attached to each of them by now and don't want anyone to leave. Think Toby is the cutest out of the Rockers though. And Dave, you should take Gilby shopping... and at the least get him a haircut! Sleep well. Love, Silky.x.x.x

Hi Dave,
I don't understand why all the attacks on Lukas. I don't know what i see in Lukas. I just feel him. There is just something about him. LUKAS is LUKAS!! Lukas has this something that pulls all your attention. He's a Magnet. When he sings, im totally blown away. I get what he means. I hear it, I feel it when he's on stage. I understand it. He inspires me.
lots of love

I tried TPC for tour info AGES ago (seems ONe came out weeks ago now although not quite a month in reality) and couldn't find anything yet although I know you said you were planning a year long tour when I heard you on the podcast. Ok Ok, it's just I don't really care if I see Supernova or not but I wanna see you!!! As for Gilby, if not a haircut then confiscate his hairdryer. Please. Silky.x.x.x

Storm will be missed, and she was SO robbed. I'm hoping both Storm and Zayra make appearances for the final. Storm is a class act, and I'd love to see her with The Panic Channel, Toby with the House Band Review with the tour. Magni, too, if he's up for it. I absolutely loved his original song---I like the idea that Icelanders can bring some serious hardcore metal, and I can imagine Magni with white face-paint and a ripped, bloody T-shirt doing the original song that he did after he got the Beatles cover out of the way. Never let Magni do another cover song again, Dave.

I'd love to see Patrice again and see if she's still doing her makeup like she was taught! Her second solo disc apart from Black Box Rebellion or Sister 7 is called "Unraveling," and it drops on October 17th. She's probably also rehearsing her ass off for the Austin City Limits Festival. Like Storm, she and Zayra all exemplify what Supernova could have shown us was what's right about the women rockers in this competiton. All three of them handled themselves with tremendous grace under a huge amount of pressure, while bad-girl Dilana ran away with the ratings as the frontrunner.

Damn. And I always thought women could get somewhere by being nice. At least, I thought it was no kinda impediment. What does a girl have to do to get airtime, set Magni's hair on fire?

Jill and Dilana personify everything that most very cool female rockers don't, the one who makes you dread practice, the lead singer that it takes to hold the lightbulb while the world revolves around her. She didn't know she was auditioning to write as well as sing. Um. Okay. I might add that most women who are serious about the busines understand that throwing things is not the way you behave if you want to work at what you do, which is, uh, writing songs and making music.

***And I'm going to indulge in one little tangent, here, since this is the vent thread---in the reality clip with Dilana/Magni's glass incident, the most disturbing thing was watching someone get cut, that was BAD. But my first thought, actually, was that she was about to throw the glass of liquid at the camera. If that were the case I'd be demanding her head on a platter with little pieces of parsley stuck in around the ears. It looked suspiciously like it to me, though. I've seen drunk band-girlfriends throw drinks around thousands of dollars' worth of equipment with no more thought in their heads than the petty little scenes they go to their boyfriends' gigs to have. So.not.cool.***

I wish America could really have gotten behind those people who could have brought the strongest songwriting, because that's what Supernova needs, something that they won't be ashamed of in a few years when it comes back around on Pop-Up Videos "I Love 2006."

So who does that leave? With Storm, I believe it's almost unanimous, every rocker who's left has said that Lukas has what Supernova needs. Almost, because Zayra said she liked Dilana but thought Lukas would win, and Chris of "Roxanne" fame, who ventured that Lukas was too good for the gig.

Anyway, Dave, enjoying the blog and I do dig what you do away from this stupid show that I can't wait to be over.

I'm afraid I'm not going to make any comments about Supernova because I live in Spain and I don't get it here!! All this I read about Dilana and Storm and everything, well, I haven't the slightest idea what you're talking about. I'll therefore ask a small question: Dave, have you ever tried playing atonal technique? I hear that's what Omar from the Mars Volta uses very often and it sounds deadly!!

Anyone from Winnipeg reading this, maybe we should start another petition like when we wanted to get the Crue to come here. Kinda suprising that it worked that time.

Lukas all the way.

Listen to Carrie Underwood...I know you have before....did she rock or what on "alone" I know you met her ... what was she like?

I just wanted to say.. Toby dedicating his song to Steve Irwin was more than cool.. freaking GREAT..
because I've been upset over his death a lot.. because I grew up watching his shows with my dad.. and it has really depressed me to think of him as gone.. Turns out.. he wasn't invinvible after all :'(
what a way to go.. and then there is his family too.. wow..

well.. anyway.. that has made me like Toby more.. BUT I wonder if he has the ability to not play a fun, energetic rock song.. you know.. I wonder if he can strip it down and deliver an emotional, heart wrenching song beautifully... hmmmm.. I don't know.

RIP Steve Irwin

Well to be honest I wish TPC was touring on their own, but I'll see you and SN in Sac! I would buy the SN vip pass but I don't give a shit about them, I'm only there for one man! Rock on Dave!

Hello David
So, Storm gone.. I thougth Dilana was going but I guess she's just a stronger contender in som way *rolls eyes* Oh well..
The Supernova track.. erm.. well, trying to put this nicely.. they suck. Every single one of them, that I've heard. Suck! Seriously, I thougth they'd be better than this..
Anywhore, I really wish I was in LA.. But I'm stuck here on this godforsaken island in the middle of nowhere..

bye
Steinunn

What SN desperately needs is someone to light up the stage. Magni has a breathtakingly beautiful strong voice to do miracles with, but with the SN material we've heard this far, he should excite the crowd more to keep things interesting for the crowd all night. Anybody chosen should be crazy on stage, because the material doesn't stand out. The only SN track I've liked was surprisingly the one Toby did with them and I'm not quite sure whether it was for Toby or for the song. Toby is my #1 for the job, but I'm 101% sure SN is going to choose Lukas. With Toby the gigs would be *so* much fun for everybody present. Lukas anyhow brings more edge and raggedness to it, so I bet he's the one. I'm a Ryan Star fan, so with him off the show this week was a bit bland for me, but hopefully next week we get to see a little bit of him on stage. Btw, it's been a pretty funny experience to get hooked and follow the show solely through the internet. I'm a huge DM fan and saw a post on the band's forum about Ryan doing Enjoy The Silence and that's how I found the Rockstarland. I'm glad that I've had the chance to see and listen to such a great bunch of rockers. Most of all, I'm glad that I found Ryan's music. He's going to do great, and I hope the same for each and every rocker in the show!

I'm also married with kids; but I have to agree, Storm is making me question my sexuality. She makes me horny!

Re: AngelEyes @ 7:30PM & HelterSkelter @ 7:57 PM

I will second these comments and say that I could not agree more. I am so, so sickened with editing of this show. It breaks my heart that in the act of trying to squash out rumours (which I will highly assume were spot on!!) the producers of this show are robbing us and Lukas of well deserved and beautiful moments and trying to fuck with us. It's bullshit! How could they axe out everything that was said and allow it to come across as it did.

If it were actually true that he hit the bottom 3 (doubt that!), I'm so thrilled that this kid has class and is a true professional. He took it great, rocked his song and should have strutted straight to that pod without looking back.

You know, I dig this show and I feel a part of it by having the opportunity to vote and throw my heart into the mix and support my man but geesh louise. Not only are you playing with his heart, you play with ours too. I am proud of all of us who support him and it pisses me off that you won't let him feel it and for us to see him happy. He was so confused tonight and even more so watching the Gilby clinic edits dissing him the previous night.

I'd like to know why every single one of the audio downloads of this show represent his vocals in a whole and much more beautiful light than what comes across on TV. What's with the garble filter because we know damn well what he really sounds like. Is he sooo heads and tails above the rest ... do you know that this makes every one of those on the fence look the other way? It will only hurt SN in the end.

I'm sorry. I'm pissed and in a bad mood because Storm went home over 'that' Dilana. What the hell was that!? She was terrible!

I just wanna know what Jason got all emotional about. Did he explain anything about it, Dave?

Also, the Lukas song "you make my head spin"....about his mom? I find that a little disturbing. (Maybe it's just me who's disturbed, but...)

Anyway, Lukas is my favorite and I hope he gets a good contract from somewhere outta this deal.

I loved Dilana at first, I ain't feeling her anymore. It doesn't even really matter who wins now. The fun is almost over! :(

Love you Dave! The new album is great!

Well you think like American Idol is better than RS... sometimes.. well i agree.. but what About Carrie UNderwood? I know you mwet her. She's good...http://www.cmt.com/loaded/player.jhtml?vid=106496&paid=1933910&channelID=21&gateway=artists&s0=artists&s1=az&s2=underwood__carrie&refURL=/artists/az/underwood__carrie/artist.jhtml&adPth=/sitewide/ads/adsetup/artists/&adPN=artist

dave, you are amazing, im loving the panic channel! and rockstar is great, its sad that its almost over, we won't get to see you anymore:(. just one question... will TPC and supernova be coming to new zealand??? please! we would welcome you with open arms baby!

I've watched SN from start to Storm...and now that's she's booted...lil' dismayed. She rocked the most and was the most original.

Dilana...in my book...a rat's a rat and I think she's a liability to the band if she's chosen. Besides...'boo-hoo'...her last 3 songs are like therapy 101. Shit happens...we've all been there...get over it. If she didn't sell folks out maybe she'd have better luck. What goes around comes around. Lucas...he has no strength in his voice...he's flat and raspy...after 3 songs...he'll be mute. I doubt he'll even last two shows. Magni...he's a bit soft and composed for the band. He's very talented, but doesn't have enough crunch. Toby's got energy, talent and the babes in tow...and those geriatrics may need his coat tales to bring on the fresh chicks.

You may have been better off posting an ad on Craigslist...NOW THAT'D BE A SHOW!

In anycase, I'm psyched to hear your band will be touring with SN...cause god knows...they're going to need The Panic Channel to help ROCK the show!

Can't wait to see you in Iceland, with Supernova and Magni leading them ;)

Cheers mate.

I'm so tired of people making excuses.
Magni didn't stay because "all of Iceland is voting for him".
Anyone who says that obviously doesn't know much about Iceland.
There are only 300.000 people there, and probably only about 60.000 of those are actually taking the time to vote (the rest are too old, too young, too busy or don't care).
Compare that with the whole continent of Australia voting for Toby. Or Canada voting for Lukas? Even Portland Oregon voting for Storm? All of those places have a far larger population, and even with a far lower audience share than Iceland, it's pretty damn certain that more than 60.000 people are voting for any of the finalists in their home-towns alone.

Just because your favorite wasn't in the top 2, doesn't mean you can bitch and whine about others voting for someone else. If you don't like it, vote more often for your favorite.
The msn site says "vote as often as you want, go crazy!" - take it to heart if you don't agree with the vote.
Just like with AI, people will vote multiple times for their favorites. Magni's votes shot up after he was in the bottom 3 two weeks in a row because his fans didn't want him there, so instead of voting 10 times, people voted 20 times or even 100 times.
Ryan Star met some girl in the street here in LA who told him that she had voted 1200 times for him.
"all of Iceland"? give me a fucking break.

Stormy? Back home? Oh I'm not one happy girl! Her's was the only original that really stuck t' me. I'm still humming 'Ladylike' right now. Damn shame this....damn shame.

I truely hope that Lukas wont be picked because I can never understand what hes singing! It sounds so...garbled to me. Plus the pitch at which he sings...it just aint appealin to me. Plus what he did to 'Livin on a Prayer'....yikes. I say yikes cause im a major fan of that song and band!

And t' Princess Rainbow Sparkle *takes her hat off* Rock on!

'Compare that with the whole continent of Australia voting for Toby'

It's shown on cable in Australia and doesn't even get more than 100,000 viewers.
The majority of Australia wouldn't have a clue who Toby is.

Well Dave... I was totally in shock about last nights offing... I really thought it would be Lucas. I just don't see him fronting the band, he just doesn't blend in very well with his movements on stage or his voice, I think Magni is a very strong singer and performer and would do well with his own group or another kind.. just don't see him with T. Lee and the boys. Toby, well ... he was pretty awesome, and well I love Dilana, her voice is strong and powerful, and the energy to boot and I belive that she can keep up with the boys.. Although I do belive that Toby will be picked because of the fact that he is a man. I liked Storm, didn't really care for her facial expressions, and sometimes she was so fake, but I know that she will go far in her career. So in closing, I think Lucas and Magni, should go... and I know in my musical heart of hearts, that Dilana will go and Toby will be the last man standing.... Mark my words....lol... Have a great Day!!!!

hit the link...Carrie rocks.....

Dave,

I can appreciate that while you and Supernova both have the utmost respect and love for Storm and her music (I know that Jason and Tommy have been fans of hers since before the show), that it was felt she wasn't the right puzzle piece to complete the band. That says nothing about her talent or anyone else's. At this point it is merely an issue of "who can plug in the best for what this band is trying to do".

I thank you and Supernova for sending Storm out with the respect, affection and love her big heart deserves. I appreciate that you played with her on stage and gave her something special to leave the show with, in addition to the chance to do her own original and close her Supernova experience with a dedication to her mom who has long since passed away.

I will be supporting ALL of the remaining rockers just as Storm will be and would want her fans to. They all deserve the best and give so much heart and sacrifice for their dreams that it is only regrettable everyone can't reach the dream in a single week.

I've had my choice words for everyone on the show - specifically Supernova and yourself, but you displayed to us your true colors tonight and as a very long time Storm fan from Portland (and the moderator of the forums on her website), I felt at peace with her dismissal as I feel it was done very well.

I hope you are sincere about recording a song or album with Storm and her Balls and that you both follow through on that. You are great together.

The part of the night that really sucker-punched me in the heart, however, was watching Tommy who clearly has a great deal of affection for her pass the torch and refuse to even try to make it through sending her home himself -- and Jason who was clearly moved during her performance.

Thank you for the gracious send-off. And if you ever want to work with my site (GothicAuctions.com) for promotion of some of these charity events or otherwise, please drop me a note. I'd love to do what I can and so would my tens of thousands of members.

Best wishes for your remaining shows this season.

Regards,

Seumas - GothicAuctions.com

I want you to see CArrie UNderwood rock.....
what did I send you? I know you hung with her....

Hey Dave

I LOVE Lucas - I can't take my eyes off him. I want him to win because not only can he sing and he is such a professional but I used to live in Toronto and know what neighbourhood he lived in. He has come a long way and that shows what a great soul he has.

Now, forget touring in Winterpeg like some people have requested, what I want to know is when are you guys are coming to New Zealand? We are busy voting our asses off down here and only get 4 hours to get as many votes in as we can and now we don't get to see TPC and Supernova???????

No worries, Canada only has 30 mil to Australia's 20 mil BUT close to half of Canada's population is french speaking which gives Australia the advantage, right? Of both languages only a small fraction are likely to be interested in either this type of reality show OR anything to do with what is percieved in many communities as a less than desireable influence. Don't forget, we have Celine Dione and Shania Twain as two of our most successful and favoured musicians.:/ Now if we want to look at something that should raise eyebrows, is that the good old USA can't seem to keep one of their own out of the B3 and as it turns out, the remaining USA contestant is from South Africa(at least that's the excuse for her less than discreet behaviour) and they have a whopping 300,000,000+ citizens. That's ten times more than Canada and about 15 times more than Australia and holy crap a 1000 times more than Iceland. Now can we just forget about any semblance of fairness, especially since some/most countries couldn't even participate in the encore contest, and get back to what it is the SN boys actually want in a front person and argue the merits of our faves based on that? Lol.
**disclaimer, sorry about no spaces in-between paragraphs, can't figure out what I must've changed in my setup to prevent my enter key from adding them.:/

DAVE! HOLY FUCKING CRAP! 409 Comments? A new 6767 record. You going to be busy today! I hope they are at least mildly entertaining.

Ummm some of the Family isn't very happy with this playing on Supernova tour shit. I would also wander over to the Asylum and read some of that if I were you.

no venting here.

i must admit i was thinking "go home storm", no delana, no storm, no delana, no storm!. Then stormy got sent home and i was like "oh well ok... bring on next week". I truely belive it'll be out of Toby or Lucas.

GO TOBY GO TOBY. The only thing that could rock even more than his dedication of the croc hunter would be "thanks to all my kiwi fans"... but hey was the dedication to the croc hunter just a voting puller anyway?????

storm was too OTT for me!!! You were acting like you "want a bit" hahahahahaha

I was sad to see Storm go. I think she is great. I will be waiting for her CD to come out.

I would have liked to se Dilana go instead of her.

I think Lukas will win this and he deserves that. He is great.

I also loved that new SN track and I thought Magni was great performing it. What a wide range this guy has!

since when was shania french canadian?????

I am so sick of the bashing. Storm never bashed anyone but her fans sure seem to be bashers.
I hope Dave has Storm on his show so people can see that she has a class that isnt playing the pity party card. The one they are wallowing in.
Why is it ok for all of you to attack Dilana? I think maybe most of you need some time to grow up because unless you were watching from a bubble you should have noticed Storm and Dilana together tonight. They have a friendship- Storm sees the good in everyone, and I do not believe for one minute she would have stood with Dilana if she did not feel a love and solidarity to her- STORM has class.

I never said she was and to tell the truth she could be, it doesn't matter to me, but if you want to know for sure I suppose you could look up her biography.

"I am so sick of the bashing. Storm never bashed anyone but her fans sure seem to be bashers."

Really? Have you ever bothered to stop by her personal website on the forums there? The overwhelming majority of Storm fans both new and old have always had the attitude that "We want Storm to win, but we don't want the other's to lose".

We love Storm. We love music. We don't want anyone to suck and we die-hard Storm fans can respect the choice that she isn't what they in particular are looking for. We largely acknowledge that Storm is friends with everyone in the house and they all dig each other and will hopefully remain friends for a very long time to come. We in particular have a strong affection for Toby and Magni, but we have also been on the forefront of defending Dilana over the TERRIBLE treatment the show has been giving her and (according to Storm herself), the FALSE presentation they have shown of her being a drama queen and trying ot make her look bad.

Seriously, do some reading somewhere besides the very vitrolic 6767 (no offense to Navarro - he can't control who stops by here!) or Rockband site. They're both places that very bitter people flock to while all Storm's real fans stick to her personal site. While there are some exceptions, we don't tend to take kindly to personal attacks against the other rockers. If for no other reason than WE RESPECT STORM and STORM RESPECTS HER ROCKER-MATES.

EVS, MAN!

Vent????? OK I will!

You aren't coming to Pittsburgh - and I am pissed! I am working the Motley Crue concert on Saturday night - they will come to Pittsburgh. But will SN or TPC? NO!!!! Not nice! And the tour is in the middle of winter - no travelling 4 hours to a venue for me!

Okay - other than than - hope you enjoy reading over 400 posts. I don't know that I could....

Love Always,
me

Hasn't Lukas been in the bottom three before? I thought he was. He should of went home!! Storm is a lot better then him. Atleast we can understand what she says. Lukas may have the "Stage Appearance" but his vocals suck

No Lisa he hasn't. Last week was I believe his FIRST time in the EARLY B3 which means f*k all since it's just the studio audience(which is mostly American) and this week was his FIRST time in the actual B3.

aeolyn

that's okay. it was just a general question, just didnt know why you said that you claimed her as canadian.

its all good :o)))

oops sorry - u didnt directly.

Ahh but Lukas' vocals don't suck try using your key strokes to search out his original stuff.He has a better voice than Magni who everyone thinks has the "best" voice.Your TV must be lying to you.

Kudos to all of you on the couch to making a crushing time happy for Storm...Very classy...You could tell she was immediately crushed..but everything said following the ja-hawk was classy and uplifting!!!
At this point...everyone there has a ton of talent.....I dont agree with the evictions....but i understand them totally...Magni had his best performance last night with Supernova last night in my opinion.I also thought he fit best..and that was the FIRST Time I thought that..until then..he never did anything for me. Still cant wait to see Dilana go!!

just wanted to say thanks... totally made my day. Here is one of the pictures. More tomorrow after work.

One thing I have to say with the show thats never been said...I think the camerman, editors and lighting do a great job...The camera angles and lighting and facial expressions are great...They seem to really know how to show a rock show on television..it definitely transcends!
The one drawback is the whole wednesday show how they drag out the eviction..there is so much to show that they can do the evictions a little less drawn out..I mean..do we really need to know who was in the bottom three at all times?

Toby Will Win, Shania is Canadian - she grew up in Northern Ontario.

Hey Dave,

I know you get a lot of grief from us, so thanks for giving us this post to "vent". On a deeper level, on the rockstar message boards a fan who had been enjoying the show had her husband pass from injuries in the Iraq war less than half a day ago. Her grief was painfully apparent and her anger was towards those on the message boards to viciously attacked the rockers and each other, she felt as though her husband died in vain for the people that represented themselves on the boards as complete asses. I know in many ways this is off topic, but in many ways it is totally on topic as the threads get more hateful. I just personally wanted anyone who wants to give her their respects (and nothing but respect and love) to please go here: http://boards.live.com/Rockstarboards/thread.aspx?ThreadID=78381&BoardsParam=Page%3D1 and let her know. This is as raw as it gets, everyone. Send her your love. And be kind to each other.

It's only a TV show so I don't this seriously, but I knew when I first started that they would never pick a girl. That is fine if that is their choice, but they didn't need to totally stab Dilana in the back the way they did. Everything they showed on the show about her was negative this week, after you said let's move one. That does influence votes and I don't think it's fair. It is so obvious that Gilby does not want a woman to front his band. But it is great how you have supported both of them. You're the best, Dave!!!

Just a comment on all the Canadian vs Australian votes, population and viewership numbers...

Give up the Junior High 'my back yard' bullshit people!! This is about who's talent will best compliment SN as a whole - not who is from where and therefore can pull the most votes. If you think it is, then exit the blog and turn the channel - please - your are wasting Dave's time, which he is so kind to share with is all.

Thxs!

Just saw the elimination (here in Australia). Storm is a class act - such dignity. Can't wait to hear the single with Dave, Tommy and Jason...

I have known Storm for about 13 years she is my muse, sorry to see her go , but now all the world saw what I saw years ago in San Francisco she has IT , and now everyone is going to want more I can't wait !!!!!!!!!!!!

Love Lommori

Dave-

Great to hear about TPC touring with SN, but please do clarify if it's for the entire tour or just Vegas. If for the entire tour, what are the chances of TPC doing meet and greets apart from SN? I would still try to pony up the $700 for the SN ticket packages that include meets in hopes you will wander in. So, if you could address this, I need to purchase my Dallas tix today, and of course then I will be able to provide you with my EXACT location in the arena, so you know, if you wanted to pull me up onstage, or have me whisked backstage for after the show....or hell, just email me your phone number and we can just arrange a dinner date. Sound good?
Stacey

P.S. I just don't get the Lucas fascination. He seems better suited for a punk rock band than Supernova.

Dave, can you explain why Jason was crying during Storm's rendition of "Wish You Were Here?"

thanks!

This is my oppinion.
I´ve noticed that people that visit your site Dave seem to make their way out to disgrace Magni. That alone is absolutely absurd...as somebody pointed out in one comment, "it does not matter what you say Dave. If you would say HEY Magni is an alien. People would say, "Yeah, come to think of it, Magni really is an alien".

Edgy Dave - featuring RSSN.
If we take for expample the bands Pearl Jam, Live, and Creed do you see the singers jumping around like a bunch of looneys? Or using their sex appeal to get to the audience?? You talk about edge Dave. Please define "edge" for me! Because I sure don´t get where you are going with that.
Yes, I admit. I do compare Magni with the singers mentioned above, that´s just how great I think Magni is.

Yesterday, Magni FINALLY sang with SN. It was an OK song. Magni sang it great. Hence, it was a "slow" song, which surprised me being the pick for Magni´s powerful voice. Then I got to thinking. This song calls for the widest vocal range and there Magni is the strongest one. His "technoligy" is admirable. Just like he handled the songs, Dolphins Cry, I alone, Clock´s and the Bowie classics.
Seeing him perform with SN I thought Jason, the former member of the awesome band Metallica, played along with Magni. Does not surprise me cause I think Jason likes Magni as a musician. Jason´s comments throughout this SN serie have been the most down to earth and handled with professionalism. And I mean comments to all the rockers.

In conclusion, Magni is very talented and so are the other rockers. Each and everyone in their own unic way. Magni has qualities the others don´t have; as they have some that Magni does not have.

Of course everybody has their favourites and that´s great. Otherwise this would not be a competition. I just had to publish my oppinion because I think the way Magni is handled on this site is very ignorant and it seems as if people have forgat what rock is. This season we are not having PopStar SuperNova featuring Justin Timberlake. As someone said "please bring class in to rock again" and that´s just what Magni has!
PURE CLASS!

Magni sure blossoms with the House Band, and as funny as this sounds, the House Band also with him as a front man. They seem to enjoy eachothers input.

Still pulling for Dilana. She made her share of mistakes, but who doesn't? It is clear the editing was intended to make her look as bad as possible. She is the only one that can give the boost to this band that it will need to succeed. Besides, it is obvious how much Tommy likes her! It would be great to see a little "action" between Gilby and Tommy over the final choice as it is clear Gilby now wants to swallow his tongue after making "a woman can front SN" comment after Dilana's performance with them! Suck it up Gilby, you're a big boy now!
Rock on Dilana-your equally imperfect fans still love you!

Panic Channel on tour with Suave Porn!

NNoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

Storm left before her time, but she will do great. I look forward to her being a guest on your radio show Dave, and also you jamming with her on her record or perhaps on tour? Magni performing with SN did nothing for me - did it seemed like Gilby was brushing him off onstage or was it just me? Really disliked Dilana's performance tonight - it seemed like you guys were just being kind to her as she 'limps' towards the finish line. Toby is a nice guy - just doesn't have the variety I am looking for. I'm glad they gave him the encore and the Honda as the runner-up prize - next week Lukas gets the gig! Those who don't understand Lukas and say that they can't make out the words he sings -it's not about listening to the music as much as it's about feeling the music - and Lukas absolutely makes me FEEL everything he sings. I agree totally that the tv audio is awful compared to the video audio and those that have attended the tapings have also commented that the live audio is superior to the tv audio - not sure why? For all the other Lukas fans out there who, like me, are pondering what would be the best outcome for Lukas - it seems to me that Lukas wants this badly so I want that for him. I found this post on another board and it really resonated with me - "I think Lukas can do better than Supernova. I also think they can do better with him. Maybe the two together can do something unexpected."

Hi Dave

Do you know if the band has any plans to tour Australia?

I am not a huge Toby fan but was touched by his tribute to the croc hunter. We here in Aus are all still more than a little shaken by the departure of the wonderful crazy guy.

Also the comments of previous posters re Australians not voting for Toby are more or less correct. A lot of Aussies don't watch Rock Star for some insane reason, preferring instead the far inferior Australian Idol.

Your blog is informative and fascinating, thank you.

Re: quote from above: "No worries, Canada only has 30 mil to Australia's 20 mil BUT close to half of Canada's population is french speaking"

Not quite sure exactly what Canada you are referring to, but the last census here indicated that LESS than 25% of Canadians list french as their mother tongue (that's their first spoken language in case you aren't quite keeping up with me) AND over HALF those also indicate that they are BILINGUAL (that means less than 3 million people indicate that they are French speaking only. A far cry from the "Half of 30 million people")

Just to let you know that, while, yes Canada has over 30 million people, all the snow and extreme biting temperatures have not rendered us deaf dumb and blind. We have more than one channel (some of us even have cable!) and we do not bow to subliminal message implanted in our brains. We are not penquins or lemmings.

POINT? Those of us who watch the show don't vote for Lukas because he's Canadian. We vote for who we LIKE, or who we think will be a good fit for Supernova. Much as the way Ty's rant last year "you aren't voting for me because I'm black" is a crock of shit, blaming Canadians for Lukas' position in the polls is asinine.

Get a grip.

I'd just like to give a big shout to all the sound guys and technicians who make you all sound amazing.

If you guys knew half of the stuff these guys do in order to pleasure our ears, you would take your hats of to them.

So here's to those invisible magicians!

Here's my vent:

Storm: Wasn't a fan until I heard "Ladylike" - wow! I loved it - really made me sit up and Pay Attention. IMO, one of the top 2 best performances over both seasons (other was Ryan's "Losing My Religion"). I believe she made a huge mistake by not choosing it as her elimination song. In any case, I'll be buying it ASAP.

Magni: He seems like such a stand-up guy, and I'm betting he is; however, he simply doesn't hold my interest on stage. Actually, I look forward to his performances about as much as I do a call from my insurance agent (thank God for caller ID).

Lukas: He's very pretty, likeable, and I dig the sound of his voice, unfortunately I can only understand about every 4 or 5 words. Also, to me, he seems woefully unrehearsed. Lukas started out strong, but he appears to be devolving.

Dilana: I've been a Cheap Trick fan for 30 years and have heard some truly awful bar band/karaoke renditions of "I Want You to Want Me". I have never heard it mutilated as badly as Dilana managed last night. God have mercy but that was awful. I honestly thought it was a joke at the beginning. Couldn't believe it. Was it as painful for the house band to chop it up that way as it was for me to listen to? Complete gagfest.

Toby: Gilby said it best, that Toby "embraces" the audience and makes them feel a part of the performance. He does, and, more to the point, he makes it seem effortless and completely natural. Toby appears to be having a genuinely good time when he's onstage, and that causes everyone else to have a good time, too. Also, the timbre of his voice is right on for Supernova. I admit it - I feel happy when I watch Toby, I'm absolutely buying into him with no reservations.

There now, I feel better.

Let´s do a metaphor.

Dilana (Janis Joplin) - PURE CLASS.

Magni (Pearl Jam) - PURE CLASS. MAGNIFIED VOICE.

Lukas (Smashing Pumpkins)- PUNK ROCKER WITH A GRUNCHY EDGE.

Toby - Pop star. He´s got the look. Hey hey hey and ho ho ho.

What does SN want?
What does the House Band want?

Great to hear that you/The Panic Channel will be touring with SN!

Sorry to see Storm go, but I think your right Dave she is going to do very well on her own. As for Dilana I really liked her and could even overlook Dilanagate.I kind of lost respect for her when she kept dwelling on it in her songwriting session and her last two performances when she had to preface her song choices always eluding to "her lapse in judgement." Suck it up Buttercup, quit dwelling on the shit and get on with it, I hate to sound like a conspiracy theorist, as I do not know the true nature of her injury, if it is in fact true I can admire her gutsy approach and performing anyway, BUT it sure came at a convenient time........

Great to hear your going on tour with SN. Any dates in Western Canada????

Storm fans are all assuming that the SN members never intended to have Storm front the band. They are also under the assumption that they recognized that she was "LARGEer" than SN. It was their intention to let he shine for as long as they could to give her the exposure and let her fan base build. Mission completed. I'm a little bit jaded. I want to believe that. Gilby has put a kink in that logic from day one. He shows very little emotion when speaking to her. He was the only one who didn't raise his hand when you guys were volunterring to be in her band. Yet, he has been the major spokeperson for the show (other than you). Going to try to let that go. I recognize your respect for her and know that her talent will take her to all of her dreams.

Here is what I don't understand. GnR, Motley Crue, Metallica were my high school years. Don't these guys want to retain their old fans? Or is this business mostly about the youth even though they aren't. I have to say that after hearing the tracks, I don't recal a single riff. BUT, I do recall thinking to myself that the old guys are stuck in the 80s still. Even this 37 year old knows that you get to "go back". So, SN wants to play 80s style music with youth fronting them? It won't mix.

The one thing that worked for me was that when Storm performed, you couldn't tell her age. She just rocked!!!

I think I like Lukas so much because he reminds me of Hawklsey Workman (but with a less enjoyable voice) [if you don't know Hawksley, look him up].

Anyway...out of those left - I find Dilana to be a trainwreck. Toby really entertaining while performing, but his vocals are not memorable at all. Strong vocals, but not memorable. Magni - well, Magni is when we leave the room to get food. Seems like a nice guy, but who cares? So we are left with Lukas...who kinda mumbles..but at the end of the day is the only thing I remember - the only voice I can still hear singing in my head. Thus, if it is about being memorable - and hearing a song on the radio that you can immediately identify as a particular group - gotta go with Lukas.

Gawd... Storm is hot.

Well Dilana can suck my left NUT and thats all i gotta say about that.

Toby got the car so i don't think he will be winning which leaves lukas he rocks but sadly after 3 gigs he will start losing his voice

Jason its time to suck up to James and lars they might just call you back for some shows

Wow, dumped Storm and kept the midget Dilana.

What the hell are these guys thinking?

Dilana is a bitch, her personality alone will preclude her from selling many records unlike the remaining rockers.

Jason, Tommy, Gilby, you blokes really need to get a grip, it's down to Toby (clearly the right man) Magni (good experience) or Lukas (great look for SN)

Storm was/is great.
Dilan is dilana.

I love all these people who jump on the Toby wagon this week. Weeks before no one gave a hoot about his performances because they sucked. What can he do day to day if he can't do it week to week?

Supernova's tracks are NOT very strong. Audience response has made that evident. Gilby's made it clear that Dilana lacks in the song writing department, and Toby's got that area in spades. Lukas is strong with some fans, but has quirks in his stage performances that turn off some viewers, including closing his eyes and turning his back to the audience for extended periods. I just don't think Magni has the power of the others on stage and he tends to disappear in front of SN. Dilana's made some big mistakes in the fan department and has really lost a lot of her confidence since her outbursts were aired.

My personal prediction is that it'll be Toby. He's got the draw of the female crowd, the men like his outrageousness (as it appears does SN) and he's got the ability to right a catchy tune, which I'm sorry to say it appears SN is in dire need of.

Toby takes it. (Sorry, Dilana. I thought it'd be you!)

WOW... you rocked last night... I was wondering when you were going to rush the stage.. lol. LOVE LOVE LOVE Toby's song and Storm's song was really good too(yeah these comments are late). I think my favorite originals have been those 2 and Ryan's.

I actually thought Dilana(as great as she is) was going home last night but hey now the "don't fuck your bandmates" rule is out the window and Storm is fair game... hee hee. CANNOT wait for next week.

Or write a catchy tune even.

Oy.

I agree with Snowgirl above.....I'm not voting for Lukas because I'm Canadian....that's retarded!! I completely enjoy his performances better than any other singer on the show.

I used to be a Dilana fan as well, but her bizarre behaviour lately has turned me off. Writing a F** you song to the internet fans??? What the hell is that?? Why would anyone vote for that?? I don't get it.

I read in the recent past somewhere that she could take a dump on stage and Supernova would say "OMG!! Wow that was amazing!!!! BEST DUMP WE'VE EVER SEEN!!" haha. but it's their band and its a free country, but I wouldn't want someone with a negetive attitude fronting my band.

ps...I can't wait to see what Storm and Ryan release on their own :) I think they'll be rockin'!!!!

Sorry if this was already asked (don't feel like reading 400+ posts)...So TPC will be touring in the fall and then AGAIN in January with SN? Is that right?

Just to add to the numbers! Is this a record? Over 400 posts. Wow!!! <:

Yay Snowgirl, my Canadian sister!
I had to leave my igloo and have a good laugh, eh? I hope the bands don't run into any polar bears when they play Massey Hall next January. You should have mentioned that OUR French people are pretty fuckin' stylin' , compared to those OTHER French that the Americans like to poke fun at.
(I doubt Lukas is getting much of our French-speaking voters... maybe he should do something in Quebecois slang? Apparently no one will know the difference)
I'll close with a few other nuggets of info;
-the Queen doesn't live here
-we have big cities with tall buildings and millions of citizens, subways, graffiti, gang activity, smog, all that good urban shit...
-some of us are into things other than hockey, curling, and beer
-despite our being lost in the huge shadow of American culture, we love and respect our neighbours and are a very proud and patriotic people also!
-for a small population, we export a lot of great musical and comedic talent, and sure can shoot the puck...
-Lukas will win because Supernova needs what he brings, and for a small man HE'S BRINGING IT!
Okay, gotta go clean my snowshoes.
Peace to all.
R.T. Carcass

Tonight was great. I love this show!!
I love Lukas' original. I really think Lukas is going to win.

Dilana is great, but I find some of her song choices a little strange, although she does a great performance. Its too bad Dilana is not more proficient as a songwriter, because shes a great performer. It was hilarious when she was doing high kicks with her good leg lol.

Sad to see Storm go but she is a promotion machine. She is going to do really well I think.

I don't know why, but even though Toby can sing and he can get the crowd in, it just doesn't have the caliber of Lukas. Lukas sings as though his life depends on it. I totally love his original song. I find myself singing it and I love seeing him perform.

Dave, its going to be great seeing you touring with Supernova.

I did stop by Storms site last night- and was hit with people attacking Dilana. I wonder if you or anyone else on that site notices how awful the attacks on Dilana have become??? I keep thinking how I would feel if I was Storm? A glorious woman who sees the best in this sorry world? I also wonder if she would appreciate the posts I read on her Stormlarge.com site yesterday about Dilanas looks??? I did my research and felt sick to my stomache.
Peace to all and in the end SN picks who they want.

Word to those who've given love to the blog, what a diverse bunch shows up here and thanks to Dave for being a gracious host.

Nice things were said about storm last night and deservedly so; she's got some real charisma and a big Anne Wilson like voice, Anne to me, is the pinnacle for female rock vocalists.

the show is fun the debating of each contestants value is weird but still fun.

that tpc is touring with supernova will guarantee some asses in the seats. dave deserves some kudos for talking issacs perk & chaney into playing along.

for whatever reason supernovs'a music is missing wiht me, i don't know if it lacks consistency because the singer isn't in the mix creatively or what, but based on what i've seen and heard from the show I'll be taking a pass on their album.

Dave,
Great news about touring with SN. I was really sad to see Storm go home last night. I don't know that she would have one it but I definately think she is a more complete package than some that are left in the competion. She has a terrific voice, wonderful personality, great composer when faced with a tough situation, and a great knowledge of music and songwriting.

I look forward to her solo career, I just hope she gets more support from her record label than Marty and the Lovehammers have gotten from Epic.

See you in Orlando on the Jan 17th, and thanks for adding to my birthday.

Well, were does one start after 450 plus comments..lmao! Let's touch on Dessa..I think we all feel for her. Her misplaced, misguided anger is probably understandable so I guess the proper thing to do is just leave it alone. So, God Bless to you and yours on that one.
I'm not surprised to see Storm go, maybe surprised to see her go before Dilana though. Storm rocks, she needs her own band. Tommy is dying to hit the drums for her!! LOL
TPC touring with RSSN....WILD!!!! You're incredible Dave, I can't tell you how thrilled I am that I've come across your blog. I tell everyone I encounter about you. Keep up all the awesome work you do, keep spreadin' the love Man. You're an incredible sole. God Bless.

Dave,
I noticed that many people here aren't SN fans. I just wanted to say that I like their songs, except for the one last night. But hey, I rarely find a cd where I like all of the songs. Panic Channel is one of those.
I was wondering about you touring with SN and was thrilled to hear it. I'll be there in MN.
Much Love

Dave, I noticed that this season you have figured out how to give the proper love. I still hate how you and INXS let Suzie go with a wimper.

I'm convinced that Dilana is the best rocker of the bunch, and am surprised at all the vitriol towards her.

I'm sorry to think it, but Supernova tracks just don't move me. That could be why they want a songwriter so badly, and why Dilana falls a bit short.

It's going to be Toby I think.

DON'T COME A KNOCKING WHEN THE CAR IS ROCKING! - DAVE UR STILL KICKING IT YOU SEXY MAN YOU!

-love em

BET YOUR SWEET FINE ASS I WILL SEE YOU AT THE HARD ROCK IN ORLANDO!! THE PANIC CHANNEL, SUPERNOVA AND THE HOUSE BAND TOO? I PREDICT SOME SERIOUS ROCKIN GOIN ON!! HOPE WE CAN GET UP FRONT LIKE WE ALWAYS DO. WHAT A DEAL FOR THE FANS...UNBELIEVABLE. GREAT NEWS, THANKS TO ALL OF YOU FOR ROCKIN YOUR ASSES OFF. YOU ARE TRULY A LEGENDARY PLAYER

scott, you could be right! good idea

Dear Dave,

Sweet sweating Jesus, man, Dilana is godawful. She literally spoils the show at this point. While everyone left, especially Lukas, are true artists, Dilana is a complete phony, as the song-writing exercise clearly proved. I find it painful to watch her. After all the stuff that's happened over the past few weeks, she easily should have been the one to get her haggard ass home. Before eliminating Storm, who had class, talent and genuine charisma, Gilby said Dilana has "been the one to watch" throughout the competition. If that's the case for Gilby, then Gilby needs to get off the pot.
Dilana has embarrassed herself and the show *repeatedly* over the past month. In the beginning, she was pretty good. But while the others have kept cool throughout, she has shown that she cannot in any way handle the stress of being in the public eye. She is, at this point, a limping wreck who cannot seem to stop whining about her pitiful "situation".
Dave, please make it stop.

The contestants were on pins and needles last nite. I liked toby's original song,it would sell at stores.I think both girls yell to much instead of sing. Storm, acted tough witin her gestures, but it doesnt't fit her looks to well. Dilana, can handle the look better, she is tough. I personally believe, toby is best for the band.He has the best voice and attitude for the job. Magni is fading out fast. He kind of lingeres in the backround.The voice of Lukus, fits perfectly, with a bottle of red wine , a romantic snuggle next to your honey, or you know. I like him better with his acoustic guitar.There all so different. Oh, and by the way, What happened to Dilana's leg?

I'm watching the elimination show again and Dilana's performance was awful and nothing but good things were said. SHE WAS NOT EVEN ON BEAT!! (I'm a drummer, these things bother me badly!!) Jessica Robinson did a better job of that song last year.

Storm should not have gone home. The whole package.

I think Toby is the only right fit for Supernova's style -- I've said that several times on this board -- but I do have one worry: Nobody on a Mark Burnett show who has won the automobile has gone on to win the final prize.

I'm pumped about the HB-TPC-SN tour. Last year the kickoffs were supposed to do a tour with the HB and it fell through. Stupid for them because we would have remembered them longer. This tour will just extend our summer attention spans. The rest will be up to the rockers.

Dave, can you make Zayra and Storm the next SRL vixens? Make some calls, brother!!

The statement: Opinions are like assholes, everyone has one, has never shone as brightly as right now.
.

Magni goes from being "boring" to the "best" in a nanosecond, Dilana goes from being "unstable" to "creative" and the Aussie became the "dark horse" after being labelled "average". Lukas, well, he goes from being a "poet" to "spastic and talentless".
.

I listen to music for the music. I want my music to sound good. I don't care if you have hair or not, if your extensions are red or blue. If your eyeliner matches your eyecolor. Or if you're in fact wearing eyeliner. Because I'm sort of from the old school. If I want a freak show I'll go to the circus. This show has taken good rock and roll and made it a freak show. Sad. Very very sad.

I like him better with his acoustic guitar.There all so different. Oh, and by the way, What happened to Dilana's leg?

Hey Dave! Think Storm wants a crazy Australian girlfriend?

Are you actually reading all of these comments??

Magni with Supernova...really, really liked his voice on the song. Gilby seemed to brush him off or maybe Gilby just has to concentrate on his guitar playing because he sucks.

Toby encore...fun mindless fluff

Dilana...didn´t understand why people loved her B3 performance. I like her, but this sucked.

Storm...LOVE Storm! I know she will go on to do great things

Lukas...LOVED his B3 performance

I like all 4 left standing. Magni belongs in a different kind of group though...HouseBand!

Rooting for Lukas and Toby.

hey dave,

I agree with you that of the five Magni would've been next but he was kept safe...and it sucks that Storm was in B3 with the strongest two.

But! Honestly, don't you think Dilana should've gone instead of Storm?

i love Dilana and all...although not much this past week with all her drama...but she can't write.

hi dave

ive always been a big fan of yours and its great to hear the Panic Channel's joining the Supernova tour! Shame i live in Singapore though...how about a world tour after that?!

I really really hope that Lukas wins this thing - i think he's the right one to help make Supernova a huge success. Though i respect the talent of the other rockers i dont think they have the charisma, depth or versatility required to keep the audience captivated as much as Lukas

You could see how amazing pumped up he was when he sang on 'Shine On' which is still my favourite Supernova track to date. Definitely a possible 1st single!

He obviously looks up to Tlee, Jason and Gilby and I think the four of them would form a fantastic creative bond

Hope you make it to Asia soon!

I lurve Storm, but I'm not too sad that she went home. I think she's too good for Supernova, plus I don't think her style would mesh that well with SN. I'm looking forward to a Storm and the Balls world tour. :)

No venting here...I bought tickets last night because I'm confident Lukas will front Supernova. I'm glad Storm left before Dilana...Storm is a very talented, classy woman, true competition. I think it will come down to either Lukas or Toby, and like Magni said...Lukas fits Supernova like a glove.

Personally, I respect Storm as an artist but she was not the one for Supernova.

I'm a Dilana fan but the negative feedback is taking its toll on her. Her last few songs (i.e. original and elimination performances) were begging sessions for votes. She's loosing momentum when the prize is soooo close ... sort of reminds me of Jordas Unga from last season). I hope she turns it around.

BTW, Lukas' "Head Spin" was great and I've loved his take on the classics.

Hi Dave and fellow venters,
I am not much of a ''venter'' per say...but one thing on here that is really annoying the hell out of me is how people can take any situation and make it into a territorial competition. Canadians vote for Lukas, Australians vote for Toby, and so on...COME ON!
This planet is self destructing because of such primitive instinctual urges. We feel the need to belong to a ''tribe'' and follow in the beliefs that are instilled in us because of our birth place.
Wisen up people...don't make this into a territorial war...it's ROCK n' ROLL !
And this brings me to my next subject matter...Is this REALLY rock n' roll ??! I am not really digging the Supernova songs...maybe it's just me,but they sound very candy/pop....nothing wrong with that, but just call it what it is.
play nice,
Zee

I honestly don't get the fascination with Lukas. He mumbles the lyrics so that you can't understand him, and the way he moves on the stage, it looks like he's having a seizure. I can deal with any of the other rockers, but I will never buy a CD that has Lukas on it. Obviously, there is something there that people like, but my wife and I can't stand him.

TPC & The House Band! Very Cool, we just bought tickets! However, if SN continues this path towards POP rock songs, we'll probably leave before they come on stage. Remember- THIS IS MY OPINION ONLY!
Thanks Dave, you are the best!!!!

Did I miss something? When was it announced that The Panic Channel would be touring with Supernova? All I have heard/read was the house band was.

Dave -
PLEASE...TPC needs to do another little mini tour before you all hit the road with Supernova to give the Panic Asylum folks your FULL attention once again as in the Spring. On knees, pleading!

Man, All I want to say is the talent on this year is unbelievable!! I have my favorite. As we all do, but I honestly think any of the 4 left would give something to the band. It depends what the band wants. That is what I don't know, with each front person SN would be a different band. So what type of band do they want? That will be answered next week, and I can't wait! I hope all the singers from ryan and storm up do what they have to go get things going. Like Dave has said do it as soon as you get off the show, don't wait or time and fans will pass them by. I loved last year's rockstar too, so hope there will be a 3rd rockstar!

I was a little sorry to see Storm go, but not really surprised. For a minute I thought that both Dilana and Storm were leaving. But, I think that Storm will be very successful. It was nice for you and the other guys to offer to play on her album.

Can't wait til next week.

Love to all..........

Sept 13th Sept 13 Sept 13 Sept 13 Sept 13 Sept 13

Does the 500th post win a free Panic Channel CD??

Wow close to 500 comments, that's the most I've seen here :)

I keep humming Headspin. Have been since Tuesday. It reminds me very much of my son at this time and the stuff we are going through.

I'm really going to miss Storm!!! She's awesome!! BUT, I think we all know she doesn't need those guys to make it.

And when is SN gonna realize that Dilana doesn't have many fans left. She's alienated most of the people who were there from the beginning with her FU to the fans comment. And if she would have just let it go and not had a self-pity party the last few weeks, no one would care. But she can't just drop it. That's not a good sign.

GO TOBY!!!!!

Please no more Magni. The guy is so boring. Dilana's pity play is too obvious but it worked - for now.

Lukas - totally blown away with Headspin. Have been listening to his other stuff on Youtube. Good Lord! someone has to give Lukas a major recording contract. He has such a wealth of truly great stuff in his song book and he is the ultimate showman of the bunch.

Booya

Toby is fun but not for 2 hours.

Would like to see the Lukas & Toby show.

Cheers, Dave, you and Stormy rocked the other night. I will miss her so much although I think she can go on to better things.

It sucked watching Storm go, but in the end its not a big surprise. With Jason in the band she's a little to pop/mainstream whatever you want to call it. Personally, I would have sent Jason home. (lol)
My thoughts on the remaining 3:
Lukas/Dilana- They're really the same person with a slight chromosome difference. Limited range, bad attitude, and a style that will never sell. Send them both back the Hot Topic outlet where you found them.
Magni-Needs a little of the edge he had on the Hendrix cover. Great singer, great dynamics. I think he's shown himself to be the best guitar player of the bunch, which would be a strong assett to this band.
Toby-Great singer, great writter. Brings some marketability to what could be a hard to sell album.
If it was me, I'd be pretty torn after sending the burned out emo kids back.

i just want to say holy crap! almost 500 posts since last night..happy reading dave. LOL

Well bye bye to Storm. I think she's got a great future ahead of her but she was not a fit with Supernova (which is not necessarily a bad thing).

Her Pink Floyd cover last night was awesome. As I said, I am sure that's not the last we have heard from her.

On to the Finale, I still say Toby has the best shot. Although that was Lukas' first trip to the bottom three, I think he cashed in some of his "credit" by being moved to the Finals.

Either way, it has been a great season of Rock. Great job by the auditioners who were able to pick the cream of the crop!

Dave, you do such a great job and so greatful that you have been part of this project. It has introduced me to your music and to you as a performer and it has been a great ride.

I´m sorry but I have to ask...
What is the avarge age that visits this site?
It seems as we have a lot of teens, judging on the comments and vocabulary.
Furthermore, most of you don´t know what rock is really about.
What the h... is SN looking for?
I´m really starting to lose interest in this band.

ROCK ON - MAGNI!

I'm sad that Storm got booted. She is supremely talented and professional. Also, she endured a lot of criticism and handled it with maturity. She was not defensive, a some of the others have been. What I liked most about her: her supportive spirit. She always rocked out to her friends'/competitors' performances.

Of the remaining ones: I'm concerned that both Dilana and Lukas will wreck their voices over the long haul. Yes, they both have that "edge" and danger element. Magni and Toby are both insanely talented and bring the testosterone. However, they both lacking in darkness and mystery, which seems to have a pull for some members of SN. I have no clue whom Gilby, Jason, and TL will select.

I wonder if we'll see Storm or The Dark Horse return for a number. Giddyup!

I think it's Toby v Dilana with the edge to Toby, particularly with his very catchy original that's totally suitable for SN and her supah(soul)-weak original.

But Dilana still has a lightning-in-a-bottle factor in her performances that the others don't have. She's got presence, she has a unique voice and it's strong, no matter what others say. The woman has run, hopped, jumped while singing throughout this competition and you never hear her gasping for air. She's in hella shape. And I think she's compelling. That said, after the past two weeks, I thought she was a goner and, until last night's performance, I'd have agreed with it.

But she was back to her pre-whiny self last night and that was nice. I liked her performance. Storm's, not so much. Lukas's, even more not so much. I couldn't make out all the lyrics -- gee, wonder why? -- but it seemed, based on what I could hear, that it was really stupid. His mother's head spins? Why? Why? WTF?

Now I like Storm fine and I think she's only improved as a performer. I hated her stuff early on when she was all waggly-eyed and super dramatic. That irritated the sh-- out of me but then she kind of toned that down without losing power. That said, I never really thought she was right for SN. Too much estrogen. That's not the way this band is set out to be. Sure, the guys can back her as individuals. That'd be the Storm Show with Tommy et al (plus Dave) as guest performers. But she couldn't front SN.

Magni's very smooth. I don't mind him. I even think he did a pretty great job last night with the least objectionable SN song yet. But. Still. He's a wet blanket too much of the time to me. Boring. I think he would be much better served and showcased in a setting in which he was the star, not the accessory singer. I think he could smolder then and those of us who so often find him to be a flat performer would feel the sparks. Yeah, I know he hasn't been in the B3 the last two weeks. So what. I don't think he's the guy.

I'm so-so on Lukas. SN seems to love him. Sometimes I like his stuff, sometimes not so much. Tuesday night, I turned into my mother regarding both him and Dilana: Get the f'ing hair out of your face!!! I've discovered I can't stand that. It takes my mind off the performance because I sit there and think A) that looks awful, B) is it getting into their mouth while they sing? C) how do they see? D) that looks awful. He and Dilana both pinned their hair back last night and my turned-into-my-mother sense was so grateful.

I used to think Toby was a snore but the guy has figured it out or relaxed or some such. I don't think he'd provide the edge that Dilana would but that might not matter. He'd provide a lot of fun and energy. I think he's the front runner and, based on things as they stand now, that's rightly so. Or roitly so.

Meanwhile, you put on a good show, Dave.

--Ima

What's so rockstar about winning a car? That was blatant product pimping. Leave it to the rappers, you guys!! Rockstars are supposed to live in cars and not win them. Hope he gives it to his momma.

Especially after all that momma talk! Lukas' mother's head spins...why? Why?

Because she bore a little skunk...

Really hated to see Storm go home last night. She's beautiful inside and out, a great singer and always professional on stage. Even though she didn't win SN was a great vehicle to move her into a place where she could share it all with the world.
I really enjoyed the show on Tuesday when you got up there and rocked the house with her! Dude, it was great!!
Have to say I hope Dilana doesn't win. Any performer who has to sing her own name in the lyrics is a bit too ego driven for me. At least I live in Portland so I can see Storm in person all the time! Gotta love that!
Good luck and lots of success with the Panic Channel!

Yes, Dave! You got what you asked for (a lot of comments). Disasterous confusion. This is beacause you publish your opinion on the web.
Are you not the HOST of the show?
You should be partial and leave your thoughts to yourself while the RSSN is still going on. I´m not saying that you are not entitled to your oppinion.
It just reflects on the whole world, in favour of some rockers and not others.
I think this is very unprofessional.
You should really consider this Dave.

By the way - The Panic Channel rocks bigtime!

Hey Dave! Not to sway from the subject...but something about last nite's show has really bothered me. Did anyone else notice Tommy's condition? Maybe just me (recovering addict) but I seen a lot of tics going on and I was just wondering how that makes you and the rest of the SN gang feel. Everytime they showed T. Lee his lips were just...well you know what I am referring to. Otherwise great show. I am really excited to hear about PC joining the SN tour and hope that Lincoln, Nebraska is on the schedule. As always...

People have said Storm wasn't right for Supernova - but we never got a chance to find out! Though they weren't nuts about Magni's original, they still chose him for the Supernova track. And oddly enough the encore went to Toby, when Storm so clearly blew the roof off that joint the night before (rendering Tommy speechless, no less)...the writing was on the wall. In bold font and all CAPS! It's a shame, and I hear much of the anti-Storm vote came from Gilby (spoilers on other forums mention the not-so-great chemistry), but I wish they would have given her a shot at singing with them, nonetheless. Maybe there will be a chance in the future when everyone but Gilby becomes her backup band. ;-) Wait - aren't they supposed to be busy playing with the winner of Rockstar:Supernova?? :-)

Hey Dave! Although it was sad to see Storm go...because she is such an amazing artist, it's like she said, it just wasn't the right fit. Over the last few weeks...my money is on Toby! Not only is he amazing, but he's young, fresh, and brings something new to the table with his songwriting ability.
I can't wait to see everybody perform live in Chicago!!
I really think you, Jason, Tommy, and Storm should figure out a way to do some live shows! That would be so awesome!
One question though...I noticed during Storm's performance of Pink Floyd last night that her and Jason were both shedding tears. Do you have any idea what that was all about?

Wait is Panic opening for Supernova or the other way around?? I am so stoked that you are touring with them! No way would I ever buy a concert ticket to see just SN play.

I really love all 4 remaining rockers. Each have their own unique talents and bring something different to the show.

I am not bored by any of them...even Magni. I could listen to his voice for hours. Lukas is fun to watch as is Toby. Dilana is one cool chick. I am glad to see they support each other and are true friends.

Last night had to be a hard decision I would think. Storm is a helluva performer, and definitely has some sex appeal to her. On the other hand, from what I see on the TV, Toby is definitely the frontrunner now. He's loosened up tremendously and is now giving performances that allow you to envision him fronting the band.
I already got tickets to the TPC/SN show in Portland early next year, I was stoked to hear TPC will be there. I love the new album.

Thanks for the many years of entertainment you've brought to me and the public. We love ya Dave...Rock On!

TPC is touring with Supernova. That cinched it. I am buying the tickets. See you in Buffalo.

Tina - Storm dedicated that song to her Mom, who died last year.

Hmmm. Doesn't the person who wrote "Dave you should be partial" mean "Dave you should be IMPARTIAL?"
OH - damn, I knew there was something I meant to yell at the screen... AND WHY EXACTLY SHOULD HE BE IMPARTIAL?
lol.
Silky.x.x.x

Hey Dave,
I'm a huge Ryan Star fan, and I'm glad to know that you are as well. I look forward to seeing and hearing you play on his up coming album. I think that is awesime idea. As for the remaining contestants, I really would like to see Dilana go. Though she has a strong voice, I think she lacks in many other aspects of being a talented performer. Anyway, I wanted to make a comment about you performing with Storm. After that performance I became a huge Storm fan. I liked her already but when you got on stage with her I fell in love with her. My friend and I were discussing your performance and we both agree you look more comfortable thant Gilby or Jason anyday.Your great to watch and your passion definitely shows. Watching the other guys is boring. I think there gonna have to go with Toby if they want a little more excitement on the stage for the fans.

After watching this week, i think Toby and Lukas are the frontrunners. Although Toby knows how to work a crowd he doesn't have that edgy and mysterious side to him that Lukas has. Although he's not as engaging and spontanious as Toby, Lukas is what supernova needs. The world needs Lukas to come along and make everyone realize that Panic at the Disco and Fall out Boy are a bunch of circus acts. This guys the real deal. He's a straight up ROCK STAR with or without Supernova.

Not surprised that Storm went home. She really opened my eyes with her original, so too bad I can't see more of that on this show. I've decided to keep an eye out for all the rockers and support them when and if they come out with solo stuff. This last group of 6 were really good.

Anyway-What the fuck happened to Dilana? I'm guessing she's just a great performer and when it comes to the creative side, she's not so great. Her original made me want to turn off the TV. I did ffwd through most of it. It was embarrassing.
And her rendition of I Want You To Want Me...dedicated to "her fans". Again? DROP THE ISSUE LADY!

She's ruined herself. And after so long really liking her and thinking she waw a sure thing, I think SN is looking at someone. Things aren't always as they seem. Toby kicks ass. I've always liked him, but he never knocked my socks off, but ever since Rebel Yell, he's been doing well in my eyes. PLUS...........the ladies LOVE him. What an awesome draw for SN. Talent in songwriting, voice is strong and he gets the crowd pumped AND the ladies love him.

Next week will be intense.

Last!! Hopefully (five hundred and something). I’m just posting to add fuel to the fire…is this now the new record for numbers of comment received? You are such and instigator, Dave. Okay, now I see the method to the madness. That is awesome news about TPC joining the tour. Very exciting stuff. I had detected a pattern early on in the show that someone went home every week, so it was quite such a big deal for me when Storm left. Can I just vent about any other random thing? For those of us not in LA area, there is a mention and link of the Dragonfly thing on www.boingboing.net and also a link for short film from the Suicide Girls – a parody of Napoleon Dynamite. Pretty funny

Hi Dave,
I watched both seasons of rockstar and I got to say that Lukas has so much charisma on stage that he could start farting and people will still love him. He truly moves people whenever he sings. There is no doubt he is a rockstar. See you in cocert with SN that is if the pick Lukas as their lead singer. Love ya Dave

Hey, Dave

I think that the only question left is what Supernova is in this for? If they want to burn out fast with generic pop, then Toby is the clear choice. He's easily marketable and they'll make a quick buck. If they are serious at all about creating quality music and taking a shot at any potential longevity, then Lukas is the man. It's all about motive from here on out and what the SN guys really want out of this whole deal. I, regretfully, am inclined to believe that it's the former.

boy oh boy!!!!! see you in DALLAS!!!

so stoked that TPC will be here again... y'all should headline! your band is awesome, mister..

STORM WILL DEFINITELY BE MISSED... I DON'T KNOW IF YOU HAVE THE TIME TO READ ALL OF THE 500+ COMMENTS BUT I HOPE YOU DO... (SORRY FOR THE 'ALL CAPS' TEXT! THE STUPID KEYBOARD GOT BROKEN AND OF ALL THE BUTTONS, CAPS LOCK GOT EATEN BY SOMETHING!!!)

ANYWAY, HER PERFORMANCE OF WISH YOU WERE HERE WAS VERY HEARTFELT BUT I STILL PREFER MARTY'S VERSION (WHICH WAS SO SUPERB). HOWEVER, STORM'S ATTITUDE? WHAT CAN I SAY? SHE IS SUCH A SWEETHEART. AS SHE SAID, NOT BECAUSE SHE GOT THE BOOT SHE ISN'T GOOD, SHE JUST WASN'T THE RIGHT FIT.

I LOVE DILANA. AND WHEN YOU FIRED UP BECAUSE OF HER "SCREW YOU" COMMENT WAS A LITTLE OUT OF LINE. HOW CAN SHE SAY THAT AND LATER SAY "I NEED THE FANS"? MAYBE SHE WAS ADDRESSING IT TO HER HATERS AND NOT TO THE FANS. SHE IS NOT WRITING HER DEATH CERTIFICATE. SHE IS JUST SAYING THAT SHE DOESN'T GIVE A CRAP ABOUT HER BASHERS. I BET YOU DON'T TOO ABOUT YOURS. BUT, I STILL LOVE YOU DAVE. YOU ARE STILL A-W-E-S-O-M-E DESPITE THE PREVIOUS ENTRY.

ALSO, HER BOTTOM THREE PERFORMANCE WAS DEFINITELY KILLER. IT WAS A NOTCH HIGHER THAN HER PAST FEW WEEKS WEAKER PERFORMANCES. THANK GOD SUPERNOVA DIDN'T DISMISS HER. WE ALL KNOW SHE STILL COULD BRING SOMETHING OUTSTANDING EVEN ON THE LAST SHOW.

I AM A LITTLE TICKED WITH GILBY TOO. SAYING THAT IF "YOU CAN'T BRING SOMETHING THEN WHAT THE HELL DO I NEED YOU FOR?" HE SAID IT RIGHT AFTER DILANA CAME FROM THE SONGWRITING CLINIC. YEAH, HE'S RIGHT AND ALL BUT WHAT HAS HE DONE SOMETHING BRILLIANT ANYWAY? I MEAN, JUST A THOUGHT. LET'S ADMIT, THE SUPERNOVA TRACKS THAT HAVE BEEN PLAYED DURING THE SHOW WEREN'T LYRICALLY GREAT TOO YOU KNOW. ACTUALLY THEY WERE EVEN TOO LITERAL. AND HERE HE COMES COMPLAINING ABOUT DILANA'S LYRICS BEING TOO LITERAL. MEN. HE IS CONFUSING.

ON LUKAS' PERFORMANCE. EVEN IF I THINK HE DIDN'T DESERVE TO BE IN THE BOTTOM THREE, MAYBE TOBY'S AND MAGNI'S FANS SERIOUSLY POWERVOTED. BUT, THAT DOESN'T MAKE THEM THE RIGHT FIT FOR THE BAND, DOES IT? ANYWAY, BACK TO LUKAS. I LIKE HIM. HE JUST IS GREAT ON STAGE. BUT, I THINK THAT HE WASN'T PREPARED TO BE IN THE BOTTOM THREE. HE SANG HEADSPIN AGAIN. I DIG THE SONG BUT I JUST WOULD HAVE LOVED TO HEAR SOMETHING ELSE. HE JUST SANG IT TOO RECENTLY AND IT MIGHT LESSEN THE MAGIC IT STIRRED DURING THE PERFORMANCE NIGHT. BUT, IT WAS STILL GOOD. LYRICALLY, WASN'T THE GREATEST AND I STILL DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY GILBY GAVE AN APPROVE STAMP ON THAT. BUT, HE'S GREAT. I WOULDN'T MIND IF HE WINS IT. I JUST HOPE HE LEARNS TO ENUNCIATE MORE CLEARLY. OTHER THAN THAT, LUKAS WOULD BE A GOOD CHOICE FOR THE BAND.

--- I STILL DON'T KNOW WHAT SUPERNOVA IS LOOKING FOR. I READ THEIR SPACE JUST TO GET A GLIMPSE OF WHAT IT IS THEY WANT EXACTLY. SURPRISE SURPRISE... I STILL DON'T KNOW THE ANSWER. THEY MENTIONED BEING FREDDY MERCURY LIKE, INNOVATIVE, GREAT PERFORMER. C'MON! EVERYONE LEFT FITS THE DESCRIPTION DON'T YOU THINK? I DON'T UNDERSTAND THEIR SONGS EITHER. IT'S TOO MELLOW FOR THE HARD ROCKING THEY WERE ASKING FOR FROM THE CONTESTANTS. AFTER HEARING THE SONGS, THEY SHOULD HAVE PICKED JOSH BECAUSE THAT WAS WHERE THEY WERE GOING ANYWAY. NO EXACT MUSICAL DIRECTION IF YOU ASK ME.

Dave,

How many cups of coffee and cigarettes to get through all these posts? ;>)

I'm very grateful for RS:SN introducing me to Storm Large, I'm now a huge fan and can't wait for her to do a national tour. I've not been too impressed with the original music that SN has played on the show so far, so I expect this will end up being a 1-album, 1-tour side project for all involved.

It's a pity we couldn't vote out Dilby and have Dave replace him in SN, that might have made things a bit more interesting.

Glad to hear SN will be touring with you Dave! Sure wish Storm was going to be there too. hint hint She is an amazing singer and performer, and an amazing person too.

And... did you see that Ryan recorded a Live CD with the House Band yesterday??! Talk about hitting the ground running! And our boy Mark Burnett seems to really appreciate him like you do... there's a great article in Newsday today. http://www.newsday.com/entertainment/tv/ny-etryan074880381sep07,0,5693691.story

I FORGOT TO MENTION, I THINK SUPERNOVA IS SERIOUSLY LOOKING AT TOBY. WHY? HE'S HOT, EXTREMELY MARKETABLE, CAN SING, HAS A NICE UPPER REGISTER, HOT (DID I SAY THAT ALREADY?) AND YESSS... ALMOST FORGOT, CAN PROVIDE SHORT TERM BLISSFUL CAREER FOR THE NEW BAND - SUPERNOVA!

HEY DAVE...
I sure hope you know how to speed read...if not, you better learn.
You started it, mista... ;-)
I love the vent up there...very funny !
Stay real !

Hey Dave,
That was really human of you to offer to play with Storm. I noticed that when the other guys chimed in Gilby was silent, WTF? After giving the best singer on the show the heave he couldn't even offer an empty promise to play with her or is he not use to sharing the stage with a guitar player of your caliber? What ever it stunk!!!!!!

The SN songs the past two weeks have been great!

I can NOT believe that Dilana is still around, especially after her "I Want You To Want Me" performance last night. She wasn't even on the beat most of the song!! It was a train-wreck, and yet still got a standing O from your boys?!?!? Tommy has lost MAJOR drummer points with me.

And for Dilana to stay over Storm?!?!? Pure insanity. And if you and the other boys would love to back her up, then why is she home now instead of continuing to rock for us?

I'm starting to give credence to those who say it's all been decided already, and what's going on now is just for ratings and appearances.

Seriously, are you going to be able to read all of these. I am thinking your night went well last night, otherwise this thread would be closed.

Storm Large is an amazing woman and performer. Even with knowledge that she was going home (t.y. spoilers) I still got weepy. Yes weepy, must have been the Pink Floyd song. As her her boyfriend Davey Nipples said, "she had a great exit". Having said. What the fuck is wrong with you guys? Dilana over Storm?! Puleezz.

PS: Really hope you do collaborate with Storm on a cut.

I'm SO disappointed that the tour is not coming anywhere near DC!! I was happy to hear TPC was added and checked the sked right away. Richmond is a hike and although I just did a one-day road trip to A.C. (to see another band which will remain nameless) - I'd rather see you here in my backyard.

Dilana was my favorite from day one (with Lukas a close 2nd) but I must admit that Toby has really stepped it up these last few weeks and is hotter than ever.

Dave, you're the best!

Thirty year old men who sing angry songs about their mothers are not rock stars. They are serial killers (Anthony Perkins in "Psycho")
Panic Channel rocks. You may single handedly save the collective ass of Supernova, who suck.

528 Happy Reading Dave! You are going to need at least two pots of coffee to get thru this. LOL. Peaches:>

If you ever wanted an idea of what Storm looked like in porn, look up Stormy daniels in google images. Its not our Storm but Damn she looks just like her enough to get a nut

Dear Mr Executive Producer Dave,

Given that each of you (SN and yourself) are completely fucked up in the head (as are many of your posters, including myself), there is absolutely no way for any of us to really know who is going to win until the day they win. Nor will our arguments and defenses alter the outcome. Whether or not they were chosen on day one or five minutes before the announcement, you will treat it all as a game and play your often questionable subplots all over. There are a myriad of arguments concerning the good and bad reason(s) for selecting any one of the four remaining contestants. (God you must feel like Bob Barker now giving cars away - noticed you were very easy on the budget and in primetime even Bob ups it to a Caddy- hint MB). So instead, today I would like to tell you that my son is really into TPC and wants to know more about you and the band. He is also a Chili Pepper fanatic so he thought it was really cool that you played with them - ten year olds into real music are so rare these days - and his absolute favorite is Flea (obviously). He hates MTV and is pissed their are no stations that show a variety of music instead of more "tveality" shows than music or really bad POP videos. I sincerely hope that Lou Reed's message starts getting passed around and spoken by some of you icons hanging out there to regain their station back. Talk about closing the godamned door! So, thank you for making good music that is not commercial and prepackaged and for allowing the kids of the next generation get a taste of the great vibes we had going around as we were growing up.

Until your next asshat moment, best regards.

Wow no venting from me. Every one left has a very dirrerent talent but talent just the same. I want Lukas to win because he touches my soul with both his voice and his lyrics. Can't seem to stop singing Headspin to myself. I'm 44 and think he is the best new rock voice I've heard in years.

Dave,

Bring the Panic channel to Germany!

Visit the troops and the rest of Germany!

You would be more popular than David Hasselhoff (whom the Germans love)

Dave.....Once again, the editing of the show SUCKED! I was at the performance and I was so impressed with Storm's way with words and her ability to really bring the crowd into her soul. She was never one of my favorites from the beginning, but she certainly grabbed ahold of my heart strings at that show. Why the HELL did 98% of her goodbye speech get cut?? She is truly a class act...and I think her goodbyes to all of you were something EVERYONE should have had a chance to hear. There was still 5 minutes left when the show ended on tv. Please explain to me why you, Mark Burnett and whomever else is involved, has to make all of these rockers out to be such asses. Can't we see the emotional, GOOD sides of them too?
And another thing, I give major kudos to Jason for standing up and being a man. The guy actually does have a heart. It could not have been easy to say goodbye to Storm, but he definitely did it gracefully. Tommy needs to grow up and learn how to use his words!
Peace out and keep that microphone away from other boys mouths... LOL!!
YOU still rock my world Dave!

Don't get me wrong, Gilby's a great guy, but he's the flaw in Supernova. Why? Becuase he cannot play lead good enough to carry the band. What if Toby wins and they want to have his song as a single. Rafael is awesome and was great on that song, but I have never seen anything in Gilby that makes me think he can jam that shit. Rafael should replace Gilby in the band or let Gilby play rythym and get a lead guitar player!!!

Dilana must go! Bring on Lukas or Toby!

Dave,

You were awesome with Storm the other night, but then again you should be, because you always bring it and you know that song very well!

JB

To all Dilana lovers just lets keep rembering Zombie, lithium, cats in the cradle, mother mother, ring of fire and all the others, and lets see who is on the top 100 downloaded songs - yes thats right Dilana,,, gee I am not sure why that could be..... but she screwed up on the interview and not one person could forgive her, even dave turned on her but lets see tommy lee gives pam hep-c has someone drown in his pool and god knows what else and everyone loves him,,,, you know whats even move of a shocker there is one female left that will soon be gone.. Dilana, gee could that be because they never planned on having a female as the lead singer -- nawww that couldn't be there is no stupid conspiracy theory right??? Now the new thing is she is faking her leg injury, how pathetic everyone is especially all the teenagers who are that stupid and ignorant, and then dave turns on her on a dime and puts in his blog she signed her own death certificate (would this make people like you dave)???

Check out this interview of Storm (www.kittyfeet.com/30music/storm.htm - 13k). She has some interesting and inspiring things to say....hint hint (Spread Radio Live). And WOW - over 500 posts. It's like one big hard on!

The last six performers have been top notch, even if you don't care for one or two of them. The way I look at it, it's a win, win for all of them even ifthey don't get to front this particular band. I personally think Tobey will be the best fit for Super Nova because he can be molded into what they want. He seems pretty flexable and has an open mind. The rest standing seem to have a solid understanding of what their own vision is and I think they would be better suited to be solo artists. Just an opinion based on my own observations over the last couple weeks.

~Melissa~

imho. i've never watched a reality show before, not to mention every episode. my bf and i have really enjoyed it, we're both musicians.
storm comes off as beautiful human being, as does magni. they both seem to have a sense of themselves outside of their music and they will be better off without supernova. dilana seems to struggle on her off-stage time. she is a fucking outrageous performer (mother mother was phenomenal) but she seems like a cess pool of ego when she's off stage, which is friggin hard to work with. lukas is a born rockstar...but is he right for supernova? his style seems too glam-rock for the likes of gilby and jason, who seem like such salt of the earth guys.
i think he'd be great for one of your bands, dave...something edgier and more experimental.
i think toby is probably the best pick, even though i'm not a fan of his voice or bland persona. he looks good, he's intense, and he seems to really want the gig.
dave, i was a huge jane's addiction fan, saw you live several times, we are fortunate to witness you as a risktaker and to know that your career has had real longevity-- that combo is so rare in the music biz. god bless you baby

Hey Dave,
Hope your gig with your band went well. Looking forward to seeing you, your band and Supernova out on tour.

Rock On

Poor Dave. Over 500 replies and you promised to read all of them :/

Hey Dave!! First I love your site man!! First time ever posting here, so here it goes..I think Magni is awesome and will definetly follow him throughout his career, cause we all know that with or without SN he will make it. Magni is not a bar chaser, he is already established, and that should be enough for anyone to recognize and admit. Has anyone seen him in concert?? No I am not talking about a "Reality TV" show, that has so many edits, and there is only so much nastiness that can be displayed on national TV. Give the guy a break, he has such a huge fan base, he doesn't have to go into convulsions and have seizures on stage to be entertaining. He has a natural way of drawing you in, bringing you into it, and making you feel you're there in the moment. That is entertainment, and that is Rock!! Peace out to all!!!

I LOVED Lukas Rossi's 'Headspin' last night. If thats a sample of his writing ability Supernova had best claim him. Its music that touches your soul.

Holy shit, this is the 543 comment!

I'm glad that TPC has decided to tour with Supernova. Actually, you guys are doing Supernova a favor by covering their overall superficiality that has been very evident in their song lyrics.

"I have known Storm for about 13 years she is my muse, sorry to see her go , but now all the world saw what I saw years ago in San Francisco she has IT , and now everyone is going to want more I can't wait !!!!!!!!!!!!"

Love Lommori

Told you Storm was a lesbian. A lesbian lead SN...I don't think so. Tommy Lee would get jealous.

mike

whatever they do, don't insult Dilana by asking her to sing with the houseband , that would really be a insult, since she is the only real star on that show, ohh another dave quote other people are auditioning but Dilana is already a star.....oh that changed too -thats right that darn interview and sprained calf and the fuck you to the hating fans-- what a horrid witch

First off Dave, you rocked with Storm the other night. I really wished Magni had made it into the bottom three so he could go home. He is really an awesome singer, but not right for Supernova. I can’t believe how emotionally some were during Storms song, she was crying and so was Jason. I have my favorites, but I keep going back and forth as to who I’d like to see with Supernova. Toby has had some really amazing performances the last few weeks and I‘m liking him more and more by the minute. SO everyone on the “mini� stage wants to back Storm on her album…….isn’t that like having your cake and eating it too? I think Dave should be the ONLY one to be on Storms album because, well Supernova is busy with Supernova and they didn’t want her for their band. That was a lot to get off my chest. Thanks for letting me vent Dave! Now I need a cigarette.

DAMN!!! Storm didn't even get to sing with SN!!! What tha f¨%$@# I'm mad, I'm sad! I just wanted her in the finals!!! Man, she brought the house down tuesday, she deserved the encore or the chance to sing with SN.
If they had to have a girl on the final, it had to be Storm and not that basketcase.

Hi Dave,

I've never posted here before but I've got to tell you something.

I wasn't surprised Storm was the one to go home because she wasn't right for Supernova.It was obvious the 4 contestants sang SN songs were going to be the final 4. So when Jason told Magni was this week's singer for SN I knew Storm was going to be sent home.

Also I assume one of the biggest reasons Storm survived a week longer than Ryan,who wasn't right for SN either,was Storm hadn't sung her original song but Ryan had.The top 8 contestants were given the opportunities to sing one of their original songs and promote themselves to the international viewers.That was ovbious too.(You told them to fight for the original songs but they were actually advised to save them till the very last time.I don't remember who but one contestant said so.)I'd have to say Storm was kind of living on borrowed time.

Having said that,Supernova definitely should have let Dilana go insted of Storm.

Dilana was also in the bottom 3 two weeks in a row and gave the two of the worst performances in this season.Storm's last three performances were a way much better than Dilana's.

I just couldn't stand that Dilana's "I Want You to Love Me".Calling the Cheap Trick classic "a punk song"?That's blasphemy!She also sang the song as if she'd arrenged it herself but I'll tell you she hadn't.There's an identical version of the song by a Canadian punk band called Propagandhi.They covered it as "I Want You 2 Vant Me" and you can find that version on their "How to Clean Everything" album.

Here's a 30 seconds clip for you.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/music/clipserve/B0000007PI001012/0/ref=mu_sam_wma_001_012/104-3999050-9045535

Click it or copy & paste into WMP.You'll hear that annoying pause with the kiss. The woman has no imagination!

Mind you,I wouldn't be surprised at all if Dilana doesn't know the orignal Cheap Trick version.Remember she's a 34 years old self-claimed rocker
but has never listen to "Who's next"album for feck's sake.

Dilana : Looks like a Rocker, Sounds like a Rocker but just a cover singer.

How about this about Paris Hilton:

"The "Stars Are Blind" singer was pulled over at 12:30 a.m., shortly after leaving a Dave Navarro-hosted charity concert at the Hollywood hotspot Dragon Fly, when LAPD officers noticed her Mercedes McLaren SLR driving erratically. The arresting officers apparently did not realize Hilton was driving the car until she was pulled over."

Dave did you get this girl drunk? LOL!

mike

I have watched the video for Living on a Prayer dozens of times now. It has fast become one of my favorite performances of the entire two seasons. I still can’t get over how Lukas took that Bon Jovi anthem song and turned it into a truly heart melting experience. I totally agree that it is hard to make out the words to the beginning only, but I know this was entirely intentional. He was setting the atmosphere with the utter softness of it because he uses his voice like a beautiful instrument. I can’t think of anyone who could have done this and the Karaoke nay-sayers need to go watch this again with an open mind and not a pre-conceived notion of how it should sound. Lukas’s rendition is truly a work of musical art.
I have absolutely no reservations in saying that I will listen to his music for the rest of my life.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PnIjkHivXls&NR

This is why I love Storm. I wish she'd marry me and have my large, snarky babies. This clip's the best thing I've seen in ages.

They are all truly wonderful talents, but I can only see Toby as front for Supernova, the others just don't seem to fit as well.

After they got rid of Ryan, i'm not entirely surprised to see Storm go too. It truly boggles my mind that they like Lukas/Dilana so much mor than Ryan/Storm. Storm has been doing sooo much better than Dilana for weeks now, it was disappointing to see them choose Dilana over Storm, but not entirely surprising.

Honestly, if it weren't for Storm or Ryan coming back for an encore next week, i wouldn't even bother watching the show, i'd just read a recap somewhere.

Enough ragging on SN though. You, Dave, are awesome, and i look forward to seeing you outside of this show, and i hope you follow up on your offer to play with Storm on her new album!

Right - now Dave, you need to take a break. If you are seriously going to read all of these comments, go and rest your eyes - do it now son.

(When does the madness end?)

jessie,

"oh that changed too -thats right that darn interview and sprained calf and the fuck you to the hating fans."

Hey! We didn't do a Tonya Harding on her ass. She did it to herself.

mike

Dave,

What are your seeing that I am not when you praise Dilana for having courage to sing a song with a bum leg? Her leg has a torn calf? She can kick her bum leg in the air without a problem? Every song she sings sounds the same.

Lukas can't sing to save his life. He struggles to get out a tune and every song now has him panting instead of singing and then he finally opens his vocals a bit once or twice a song to please Jason after Jason asked him to do it more.

Ryan was the best of the bunch with Toby a close second. It appeared Ryan was better as a solo that part of the group, plus he does not have that hey I won a contest thing around his neck.

In the last reality show where they had a song writing clinic. Dilana said something to the extent of. I am the singer or some crap. She said she doesn't want to write or something like that. I don't remember exactly but the message she sent was clear...American Idol ? WTF...I used to be a fan of hers until she started talking shiyat and acting like she was the best rocker in history. Major turn off! Storm is a hot woman. Tommy obviously wants her. HAHAHA I'm kidding.

I just wanted to be in the record breaking amount of comments here at 6767.com.

Aaahhh yeah, bitches!

Hi, Dave!

I totall think it's a smart move for TPC to go on tour with Supernova... Why??? Because TPC is rock and that's the type of fans who will go to see Supernova... Rock fans of all ages... This tour will provide TPC with super exposure!!!

LOVE the show DAVE..LOVE the website...LOVE YOU, MARTY CASEY, LUKAS, and TOBY!!! I also love spread radio live...HELL YEAH your about to play ROB Zombie...just saw them in Houston, took my 13 year old nephew...first concert for him and he rocked it!!!!
Love that you give SHOUT OUTS to the men/woman in the war...i have lost a few great friends over their and WOW it really means the world to them that they aren't forgotten. Wether we agree or not they are putting their lives on the line for US....
PEACE OUT man!!!!! KEEP ROCKIN and staying true to YOU!!!

Hey, man life is a contest. Everything we have is based on beating someone else out for it. You should have seen all the sperm cells trying to get into my girlfriend until I came around. LOL!

this is Dilana's Mother Mother, you tell me she is not the greatest performer there is period, your going to listen to this and tel me lucas is better, toby is better magni is better, come the fuck on - get real.

I love you for rocking it out with Storm. I don't know if you really have more sense than Supernova but proclaiming to the world that you stick by the 'true' rocker is really something.

Thank you for sharing your blog with the world. You give a lot of angry people space to vent. ;)

You absolutely rock Dave Navarro!

Good morning! I have read all the comments here in this thread. Wow! Overall I have enjoyed the different perspectives and for once wasn't taken over by all the haters and bashers.

How will next week work? Will there be a webisode and the final four then do performances Tuesday night and then they make the decision Wednesday night?

Thank you,
Jen

ok heres my vent hehe ..i watched rockstar last night ..it was a very good episode ..rock on man and for you guys to say what you did to storm and pump her up that was a cool assed move ..
anyways l;ove to stay and chat but the freezing in my jaw is wearing off and i need meds meds i tell you hahahaha ok im not insiane just ion pain ..much love dave

Can we just talk about Gilby for a moment? I have the least amount of respect for him. He is such a weak link in an already weak band.
On TV he makes the oddest expressions and says the most inane things.
Thank god for you and Jason. At least you offer some insightful observations. Tommy is just an idiot, but fun. I get his role in all of it...but Gilby?!

Team Toby!

hey dave!
how shocked i was last night, but it is supernova's ultimate choice in the end.
the best news was that the panic channel is going on tour and you are coming here :) i honestly don't care anymore who is crowned their new singer anymore, just that i get to see panic channel in feb!!

thank you so much!

Well Dave you always make sense so that's why I read this. Storm was the best performer and best songwriter. Maybe she's better off because Supernova has awful songs. They need a songwriter. Lucas cannot sing! He sounds like he has a mouth full of mucas! Magni is just dull... Still cannot believe they kicked Storm off after her killer song and she never had a chance to sing with them either...that would have been awesome to see.

Holy SHIT 570 posts.

Poor Storm,she'll be back,out of all the people eliminated she is ready made for a career,not much to do other than get her signed up,NOW>

Love Rockstar...gonna have major withdrawals after next week!
After seeing Magni perform with SN, I think it is obvious he does not click with the band. No surprise there. I think he has amazing talent though and am glad he is in the final four. I just wish that
Dilana would have left before Storm.
I think Toby is perfect for the band, but I won't be buying any of their CD's.
Thanks for providing great entertainment this summer though. I have become such a fan of yours because of it.

Last night's show had a weird vibe to it. I read that Magni had to do his SN song twice with the band...is that true? Maybe that is why the chemistry seemed a bit off.

I can't wait to see Storm in her own element outside the show.

Lukas was great last night.

I really think SuperNova should have gotten rid of one of the 2 little trolls .

Hey Dave - cool that TPC will be touring with SN.

On last nights show, I thought Dilana redeemed herself in a BIG WAY by bringing it. She really looked like she was having fun up there, and although her timing was off a bit at the beginning, the crowd was into it, and it was pure rock-and roll!!!! I saw you and SN gave her a standing O. What are your thoughts on her performance and the arrangement of I Want You To Want Me?

Hehe Dave... Looks like you need a picture of a bigger vent! Maybe industrial sized.

Well, seeing we're well into the 500s here, I doubt you'll ever get to this post, Dave, but I wanted to give my 2 cents too!
I loved last night's show - I was disappointed to see Storm leave, especially after she gave such a moving performance with "Wish You Were Here" (first time I've cried watching a reality TV performance). However, I have no doubt she'll land on her feet, and it's probably a blessing she didn't end up with Supernova. Her original was awesome, but I couldn't imagine Gilby, Jason and Tommy including it in their playlist. She was a class act from start to finish, and I admire her completely. I have to admit, if I were her, I'd have been a bit confused - after getting the Hatchet from Jason, the next thing she knows all the guys on the couch are begging her to let them play on her album!? Still, it was a true testament to her as a performer and as a person - she's amazing.
All of that being said, I have no clue why Dilana wasn't sent packing last night. Her rendition of "Want You to Want Me" was awful, and I haven't enjoyed anything since...well, since the Dilanadrama began. She's been rotten, both on- and off-stage. I guess she earned enough credit early on to get her through, but she's the only one left who I would hate to see fronting the guys.
I believe it's a toss-up between Toby and Lukas. Lukas has been my favourite from week one, and for the most part, I thought it was two-horse race between he and Dilana. Last week, however, Toby finally won me over, and with Dilana fading to black, I can't wait to see how it plays out between the two guys. Magni's great, and I loved him on the SN song last night, but he's not right for the band.
Can't wait for the finale. Should be interesting!!
Thanks again, Dave, for this place, for letting us come here to VENT!! :) I haven't checked the tour schedule for Supernova/the Panic Channel/the Houseband, but if they come anywhere near Ottawa, I'll be there! Take care!

Re: Bones comment 10:07

"I really think SuperNova should have gotten rid of one of the 2 little trolls ."

Bones, there's a place for you over on the Supernova Space. That's where all the idiots who can't think of something intelligent to say hang out.

HA! Paris Hilton got a DUI after your party last night, Dave!

I have an answer to the Honda being Toby's consolation prize theory.

Next week all of the non-winners will receive THEIR consolation prize of the black Honda they rode to yesterday's gig in. The contestant voted to do the encore, Storm will get her black Honda at that time.

Did you notice the hand above Paul's head on the Sgt. Pepper's album cover? Also Paul was barefoot on the Abbey Road cover, after all, they bury their dead barefoot in England. *eyeroll*

Hey Dave! I think Storm will do just fine on her own! I just hope Lucas will not be the overall winner! He may 'be an inspiration to watch' but I just do not think he has the stamina for an entire show. Just an observation. I think that it is AWESOME that the Panic Channel will be on tour with SN...I am checking to see if you will be near me, I will even go if it IS with Lucas as the SN front man....just to see you! I love hearing your comments. You are very intuitive I totally dig that. I wish I could just sit and have a conversation with you. BTW you totally rocked with Storm wahat a GREAT pairing!!! as if you didn't know! CIAO!

STORM will be LARGE all on her own!!!
My thoughts on why storm went home:MSN,MBP,and whoever makes money from this show really knows how to keep the $ flowing.Look,the world will still keep on watching and placing the votes.We now have Australia,Iceland,Canada and Africa(USA) people still in it.If anyone else would have went home,that would have lost some of the worlds votes(= money)and some of the worlds viewers(= money)Just my thoughts.What do you think?

boring

Rofl, snowgirl you crack me up. Please point out where in my post I claimed that 50% of Canadians have French as their mother tongue? All I said was about half can speak French and that two of our most famous musicians are a country/pop star and a female crooner. I suppose my sarcasm was too subtle eh? As for the old "snow and extreme biting temperatures", perhaps it's time you visited Vancouver? I bet we got a whole week's worth of snow here last winter, oh nooo, lol! Now as to your ASSumption that I was claiming that all Canadians would vote for ONLY the Canadian, please, take a class on reading comprehension. My SARCASTIC post dealing with the population figures was merely pointing out how silly it is to actually think that Iceland could have pulled off the Magni SHIELD OF INVULNERABILITY by itself. That the USA entry isn't even USA born was just one more example of how silly this whole national "pride" argument is, the majority of many countries have come from somewhere else at one point. Kthnxbye.

Dave, it sounds like Ryan Star recorded a live album in the studio with the House Band after last night's elimination....thanks for giving him teh advice to get right on putting some music out there...it sounds like he listened.

Also, I'm assuming you couldn't stick around as you had a TPC gig....any plans to hook up with Ryan to play on a track at some point?

LET'S GET IT TO A THOUSAND!
Hey, everyone is so fixated on visuals, it's getting ridiculous.
Insult Lukas all you want (no doubt YOU are visually and stylistically perfect) , at least he provokes a response. Magni looks like any one of thousands of dudes walking around, and Toby belongs on a surf board... and lately he is copping from the Lukas style, wearing make-up and spiking up the lid, so don't tell me he is completely natural! Dilana is a well-orchestrated visual mess too, if all you can do is judge with your eyes. Storm was the only natural person in the whole competition.
As for Lukas and the constant whining about enunciation... look, they will come out with a perfectly produced/mixed album, hopefully with printed lyrics, and everyone can follow along like little sheep so that when Supernova comes to town, they can sing along. Take the extra time to check out Rossi on youtube and lo and behold, you can hear the words! Won't make a difference if you hate his voice.
He's the only one left blazing his own trail, keeping his integrity and dignity, and seemingly supportive of his fellow rockers. Who gives a shit if he wears make-up and has funny hair?
Tommy and Dave have certain looks going on too... I have hair to my waist and look like Jeremiah Johnson... fucking whatEVER.
Final comment; Gilby Clarke is a painfully mediocre guitar player.
Peace, and open your ears as wide as your eyes.

Dear Dave,

You said something really profound the first night of Rock Star Supernova that really stuck with me; you told Lukas that "the fact that I don't know about you yet is the reason why a show like this is so important." I find that so true and I commend you for your candor. The music industry in Canada is pretty tough because (although things are changing) there isn't really a great support system for local artists, music and otherwise.

I wrote a really great article about Lukas and the music industry today, I'm sending it out to local newspapers and I think I'll send it to you too!

One thing I'd like to note that isn't really talked about is the fact that this show has really rectified a lot of misrepresented stereo types about "rockers": the sense of community and possitivity seen in this reality series surpasses anything else I've ever seen on T.V. amongst not only contenstants but hosts and audience. It's a great thing to see a portrayl of rock'n'roll as something possitive instead of the cliche negative which is commonly represented in the media.

I wish you well and hope this show goes strong for a long time. Really want to commend you on your embrace for new media and internet in general as you often site youtube.com in interviews etc. It's important that the industry embrace what the kids today are embracing otherwise it will simply lose this generation.

Good luck with The Panic Channel and all your other endevours.

Much love
Anna Gulizia

explosive chemistry w/ storm of the kind that took my breath away. sweet! 2 gorgeous ppl rockin' side by side.. my mouth was agape. the gods have descended and dwelt among us. a combo made n rock n' roll heaven. i'm sure u get my drift by now. i don't mind if u cash in on this, sir. go ahead. make money off this. collaborate w/ my stormy.

bottomline is that i get to see her again (wiping off a tear now)

I have to say that I was horribly disappointed last night and last week that the worst performance of the bottom three (on elimination night) was the one that got saved. It is clear to me that in keeping Dilana over Storm after the past two nights of performance/elimination that the goal of this show is to create good television rather than a great band. This is not a knock on Tommy, Gilby and Jason. From watching their faces when Storm was singing I felt like Storm leaving was orchestrated by someone who wasn't them.

I felt that way when Dilana was kept instead of Ryan last week as well despite the fact that "Mother Mother" is the only thing I've enjoyed watching her sing. This week Storm showed that she is the only performer on the show with enough versatility to handle the seriously schitzophrenic sound that Supernova seems to be headed for.

Me, again, Dave....

Over 500 posts.... you gonna start a new thread?

Always,
me

Without question, Storm is my favorite (I had to go touch myself after her performances Tuesday -- that chick is smokin' hot -- if Davey has one functioning brain cell he'll get her to Vegas today and marry her). That said, I'm not upset she isn't going to be the lead for SN. Why? She may be my favorite, but she isn't close to being a fit for SN. In all probability, I'll by her CD on the first day of release and as much as I like Tommy Lee, I probably won't be shelling out any of my hard earned for SN.

Dave, I hope you have Storm on SRL soon.

BTW, does anyone have a link to find the non-FCC version of Ladylike?

600???

Storm wasn't right for the band. She will however be an AMAZING solo artist. She's got the looks and the talent to go VERY far in this business. As long as she can hit the ground running from here, she'll be fine. I will certainly buy any album from her.

Again, about Gilby:

Did any of you catch him while Lukas was doing HeadSpin yesterday? He was trying to move his head to the music, but couldn't find the groove/rythm.

So happy I taped it. I played it over and over. So funny!

Might just be bad editing, but still... That, the songwriting clinic, the corny SN songs, the silly comments, and the "don't bother me, I have to move my fingers on those strings" during the SN song (with Magni in his face) make me wish that they would extend the season for a few weeks to get a real guitar player. Cause face it, as far as lead guitarists go, SN is in deep.

Usually, the guitar player, next to the singer, is the main focus on a stage. Dave proved it with Storm, and many singers showed it with the House Band this year. Now, I don't know if Gilby plays with cement boots, but moving on the stage is not optional if you have a six-trings and you are in front of hundreds/thousands of people: it's a natural element of a rock performance. You need to bring "it". The guitarist also needs to have an "edge". From Townshend to Van Halen, and every less gifted player in between, the lead man has to generate excitement.

At this point, SN probably wishes they could clone Lukas with Toby and all the other finalists to create a "monster" frontman, because I doubt that Gilby will make the concerts exciting, even with a Zayra costume, a neon-fluo guitar and a rocket on his back. Maybe they should put the drum in front of the stage so people can at least enjoy TLee kicking the shit out of his set, and put a cardboard cut-out of Steve Vai or Dave Navarro next to it.

If at least he could write good songs...

I liked the "painfully mediocre guitar player" comment from 'art carcass'.

Anyone wanna start a new game?

"FIND A NICKNAME FOR GILBY"

I'll start:

King of Generic Rock
Dollar Bin Composer
I'm no Navarro
OSATT (One String At The Time)

It's funny to see how everyone (almost everyone) is upset that Storm was eliminated last night. No one ever mentioned Storm until this weeks' performance when she did one hell of a job. Let's face the fact, Storm is an awesome singer but I never thought that she would fit in with SN. I always thought that she could over sing everyone but SN would not be right for her. I'm happy that Storm was able to show everyone her talent and even happier that she is out with a much larger fan base than what she originally had.

YOU ROCK STORM!!! :D

1. Dilana (winner)
2. Toby
3. Magni
4. Lucas

p.s. Dave, like someone said above, I'm so glad that my tickets will not go to waste now that you will be touring with SN. Hell Yeah!

"Oh OK, Dave: your blog is full of Psychos, did you know?" - Reckless Princess

Just the way we like it...

Dave--First of all, I'm a fan of your's from way back--Jane's Addiction 1988. You are a guitar hero.

Second, Supernova (the band), not the show, sucks. Gilby can't play worth shit. Why don't you and The Panic Channel take over the show from here and bring the House Band and the "winner" of this reality show on the road with you.

God I LOVE Rockstar! Strange maybe because I loathe Supernova's music but love the final four. They all have my respect as artists and as inviduals. You can tell there is a tight bond between all of them.
What about the bond within Supernova? I wonder how seriously they are taking this. And why is Gilby Clarke a part of it? He is definitely the bottom 3 of the group!!

Toby's encore was good, but I am so over him going into the crowd every single time he performs. It's cool when he does it once in a while, but all the time, it's too much.

Magni sounded awesome with Supernova and Toby sounded great with his encore. My choice for the top 2 would be them, but we all know that is unlikely.

I agree that Storm will do very well on her own; she has the drive, charisma and talent to succeed. Having said that, I can't BELIEVE they gave her the ax after such a moving performance that left Jason and the audience in tears. In my opinion, Supernova's decision to keep Lukas and Dillana after her powerful rendition of "Wish You Were Here", spoke volumes and leads me to believe they have already made their decision.

I also think it's strange that Supernova doesn't want her to front their band, yet they want to play with her when she makes an album. It is both contradicting and inconsistent.

I believe the band made up their mind in the first 2 weeks of the show and sadly, I don't believe they are listening to the audience at home. Since her obnoxious behavior, Dillana has been voted into the B3 twice in a row. In my opinion, she has given (at best) mediocore performances each time and has been saved. As far as Lukas is concerned, he has not proven that he has his own style of performing, nor has he brought anything extraordinary to the show.

I get that this is their band; maybe they have something in mind that I am unable to see, but I think they need to start listening to the fans. Without them, this band won't succeed.

Dave,
you're so charming that it's impossible to pretend you're not. Also you're consistent. You really know what you're doing. Too bad you and TPC will never come to Brazil...

"FIND A NICKNAME FOR GILBY"

I loved "Im no Dave Navarro" lol

Neat-o with the blog, stay in touch with the little people dude, AND GO GOOD ON YOUR PROMISE NOW, you better play on a Storm track!

I totally agree with Jezzi! I wasn't going to buy tickets to SN in my town but now I'm tracking down all the close friends so we can all go. I'm not missing a chance to see TPC! Though one of my friends has already requested a smoke break during SN.

to be honest, compared to ryan star, everyone seems, well, cheezy, now. i mean seriously. Dilana. Magni. the aussie. even Lukas, whom I support becuz he is from Canada like me. He can be cheezy at times.

I think that SN will have to counter the cheeze factor and they may have missed the op to do so...i mean, c'com. look at where everyone is coming from. at least ryan's intensity was a good balance to the 80s hairspray rock that SN is potentially capable of. no offence, SN. I think you guys are cool.

Can there not be a way to prevent duplicate screen names? I am relatively new to this site and log in as Victoria which is my name. To my dismay, there is another Victoria and I don't share her views. Help!

I just wanted to say Lukas has to be the one he is amazing his "Head Spin" song is in my head. I also liked storm but she is not right in my opinion i think it will be between Lukas and Toby and i have to say Lukas is perfect for the gig. Toby does the same and needs props to get the audience involved. Just my thoughts
Lukas is the man.

I thought it was really rude how Gilby was ignoring Magni on stage when they performed with him. Magni was giving it his all, sang the song well and did all kinds of things like interact with the audience.. he also went to each of the guys and interacted with them, but Gilby just ignored him.. not even suttle, it was like REALLY obvious.. it was sad to look at and just plain rude. How the hell can people have an oppinion on how Magni is with SN when Gilby just didn't give him a chance. I read somewhere here that someone thought that Jason was also doing it but I must really take the glove for this guy, he is the best of the 3 amigos in SN, he always has good comments for people and they always make sense. I really didn't like it when his comments for Magni were not shown on TV after Magni performed his original.. that just tells you that the producers want to have an impact on the voting by making things look a certain way. You would never see that on Idol, all the judges there had comments and you would always get to hear them all! Anyway Jason and Magni looked good together, Jason came to Magni when Magni approached him on stage.. and they hugged after the performance.. so no! Jason did not give Magni the same cold treatment as Gilby. T-Lee I don't know.. him and Magni had a few moments on stage and T-Lee gave Magni a short high-five at the end so maybe he was ok to him..besides it's hard to say when T-Lee was so hung over that night.

Anyway, I would really like to know why some good comments are taken away and only the bad ones kept in.. and why some contestants always have the same row in order of appearance and why some rockers get full support from all SN members when playing with them and others not. Maybe SN knew beforehand that Magni would not be in B3 and therefore were FORCED to perform with Magni because performing with Storm and then kicking her would look bad for them. But I guess it's not really a "competition" it's a scripted show, and the voting is of course in our hands.. but how the rockers are presented on the show.. is in the hands of the guys behind the show..

Wow- alot of wows! U, SN and some of the past performers all in one tour. Who could ask for more. Now-Let me just say... I am now in luv with gutair players. Can't really get my mind off u and Gilby rockin it. Sends chills down my entire body. OK- if i can get back on track here...(lol) I really enjoy all of the singers but I will have to say I dont think I could listen to a whole concert or cd of Delana or Magni.They are great,they wouldnt be here if they were not, but it is kinda all the same to me after a few songs. They loose my attention. I can not stand the fact that Magni's nose hits the mic every time he sings. Drives me nuts! And Delana is boring me. The last what, 3 tapings it has been poor pittiful me. My god, you have your break down and u learned from it. Get over it and move on. Not that I am taking light of the situation. It looked sad and very high emotions,but let's move on and kill it. I can see right when it affects her when she is on stage. It looks like a ton of bricks just fell on her. Will she ever get over it? She reminds me of Jordis. On top almost the whole way and the pressure got to her maybe and now cant move past it. Toby and Lukas are entertaining and I LOVE the way they sings.I really would love to see Lukas as the front man. He gets it. All of it. I do think he needs a little bit more help with his vocals. It's there. He just needs to let it rip and with the help of the mighty trio, I think they could go on and on and on etc..... Take care Dave.

With over 600!!! posts to this thread, it's gotta tell RSSN something.

Anyhoo, STORM FANS! yeah, we broke the site with so many hits, the server lost its brain.

But, the dedicated volunteer geeks are frantically not only fixing it but have a temporary site to go to:
http://www.getphpbb.com/phpbb/index.php?mforum=stormlarge

PLEASE, don't try to log into stormlarge.com right now as the guys are trying to fix it. Even if you don't like Storm, please don't try and mess with their work. Anyone who thinks such rude things to do, look in the mirror and then focus on supporting whoever you do like in the remaining folks.

Thank you, Dave, I feel bad with your promise to read your blog, this will take you a day and a half, d00d.

Much love,

"Velvet Revolver - Set Me Free [4:10] - Contraband " and "Alice In Chains - Would? [3:30] - Alice In Chains: Greatest Hits"...

YES!!! SRL TOTALLY ROCKS!!!

Here's the deal with Supernova's final 4...

Magni–good but too one-dimensional; married so a chick turn-off; blends, dpesn't stand out

Lukas–One one hand too punk/glam for this band (maybe Bowie's got a tour coming up and needs back-up?); not one of the guys, can't see them ballinmg a bunch of groupies with Lukas in the room

Toby-Would be fun for them to tour with; he's good but they won't be threatened; a little weak on th gravitas but chicks dig him

Dilana-The smartest but riskiest move, she's got that "x factor" - something special. But do these guys really wnat to work that hard to go to the next level or are they really in the Tv/let's find some talented young people and produce them instead?

-KG

Someone asked how to find the non-FCC-rated version of "Ladylike" - it's on the Storm and the Balls Myspace. There's a "PG" version and an "R" version ("What the F*" instead of "What the What").
Storm was way too original for the SN has-beens (though I started watching this season with a totally open mind toward the 3 in SN as a huge fan of Metallica and GNR, but like tons of people have said, have been totally unimpressed by their songs - it's looking like their best music is behind them, but you never know). Anyway, she's better off, but I was hoping she'd make it to the "final round" - now the only reason to keep watching is to see who is brought back for the encore. Nothing against the final 4, they just don't do it for me, personally.
That said, I love that there's a show like "Rockstar" that showcases REAL MUSICIANS, and I look forward to seeing if there will be a Season 3, and who the band will be, as well as what talented performers we'll be introduced to next time!

hey Dave that vent looks familiar!!!!!!!!!!He He
I see Toby for Frontman with SN. Diggin it, so glad TPC will be joining the tour. I am loving you. Stay sweet!

Hi, Dave! I've got nothing to vent about after last nites show, I think the right person went, though I do think Storm is awesome, loved your performance with her! I didnt watch Rockstar last year, I grew up in the 80's and just couldnt see a different singer with INXS, but I decided to watch it this year after some of my customers turned me on to it. I love the show and what you are doing for these performers. I've got a 16 yr old that plays, it's his dream, too. I only knew of you before from my kids & them playing theirs cds in my car(lol, sorry),until I watched the show. I'm hooked now so hopefully, you'll be back another season!

GILBY? GILBY? GILBY? GILBY? GILBY? GILBY? GILBY? GILBY? GILBY? GILBY? GILBY? GILBY? GILBY? GILBY? GILBY?GILBY? GILBY? GILBY? GILBY? GILBY?

I TOTALLY AGREE WITH JB'S COMMENTS ABOVE. HE SAID "Don't get me wrong, Gilby's a great guy, but he's the flaw in Supernova. Why? Becuase he cannot play lead good enough to carry the band. What if Toby wins and they want to have his song as a single. Rafael is awesome and was great on that song, but I have never seen anything in Gilby that makes me think he can jam that shit. Rafael should replace Gilby in the band or let Gilby play rythym and get a lead guitar player!!!"

GILBY BLOWS!

IMHO Top performances of the year were:
Storm-w/dave on the bowie classic
Lukas-Let's spend the night together
Toby's-original

And anytime Rafael played rebel yell. His skills are sick on guitar. Both with Lukas and Toby Rafael tore up the steve stevens solos!

So why does Rockstar allow one person to vote over and over and over? Do they realize that this "fixes" elections? Duh. Magni hasn't been in the B3 even because he has some coordinated Icelandic campaign voting for him over and over and over...But he was the one who deserved to go. He bores me to tears! One unique vote should be the honest way to get accurate results of "the fans".

So I think Storm went home because of her lackluster performance against Lukas & Dilana. Why she picked that song, I have no idea. SN couldn't even give her a reason why they let her go...which just makes their decision all the more mysterious.

Unfortunately, the old SN farts do not "get her" as you do Dave Navarro. I really appreciate that you said that because I have always felt that SN was really only reaching for the upper eschelons of mediocrity to front their band, and not something unique, strong, creative and beautiful.

I hope you do play for Storm. She deserves a popularity run at least as long as Clay Aiken's! She deserves the support from all the behind-the-scenes power players consisting of producers, labels and artists to promote her as they have discovered a gold mine. She will sell records, and I hope they treat her as such.

As for SN, their songs really make me cringe. The song Magni sang last night was better, but OK. If that was their weakest song on their album, they'll be OK, but since that is their best song so far, I will not be buying a SN album or go to a concert!

Also, it was pretty weak that they didn't have Storm do the encore OR the SN song. She deserved one or the other after a killer Performance night.

I'm going to have to root for Dilana now as she got swift-boated by the editing team and she is a talented and interesting singer.

Hey Dave

Thought you should know...there is some guy posting on rockstar.msn.com swearing he's Nikki Sixx and he has the inside scoop from "t-bone" saying show is rigged and Lukas is going to win - the sickening thing is ....everyone is beleiving its him....

I can't believe they sent Storm home. I knew they wouldn't choose her for the gig, but come on, they should have kept her for the final show. She deserved that much! I am really sad, and now next week's show just wont be that great. I'm a Storm fan FOREVER! She rocks. I hope she does something soon. I can't get her original song out of my head, it is KILLER. Dave, you and her on stage together ROCKED. Please SN know that sending Storm home before the finale was a BAD mistake and they have really disappointed some people. She did exit with grace, however. What a class act.

Wanted to add that Dilana is my pick for the front person of SN. And I did like last nites track with Magni (he is my 2nd pick), but I still think Dilana blows them all away. Lukas, he is different and has def got it going on, I just don't think he is right for SN. I know you guys "liked" his rendition of Livin on a Prayer, having seen Bon Jovis Slippery When Wet Tour, and totally still love Jon, I really thought it was horrible. Toby would've kept that song alive and fun like all of his last few performances have been.
Can't wait to see the finale, bring back Storm for it!

Dave --

Question about Lukas Rossi's performances -- do you understand his lyrics from your vantage point on the couch? I am wondering if the television audience is losing something in translation. For the life of me, I cannot understand what Lukas is singing, which is too bad, because he has such great intensity.

Peace,
Karena

Oh yes, and the fact that SN gave Toby's 'Hey! Hey! Hey!' frat-boy song the encore over Storm's 'Ladylike' just goes to show that they are swimming in the cheese factor.

That decision alone says alot about SN's taste.

Hi Dave,
With Lukas there is a lot to overcome for some people you have heard it: he wears makeup, has funny hair, he doesn't enunciate, he changes classic songs around, his voice has a gravelly sound at times.
I think people need to get around these "problems" to arrive at Lukas enlightenment. Of course, many are already open and immediately recognized his talent. For the rest of you open up your minds and enjoy the ride.
I love The Panic Channel!

Hey Dav,
You said the most wonderful things to Storm last night. I'm not a Storm chaser, but I do believe she is a very talented girl. I look forward to listening to her sing and you play. Time is running out, you need to run a round the pool naked for us...Your in my dreams...Hopefully I'll see you in Dallas!
Kathy from Arkansas

i grew up listening to GNR, Motley & Metallica. Was really excited about this show. I loved Gilby's first solo album, but I must admit that his lead guitar skills don't seem to be enough to carry the band. Hopefully Lukas or Toby wins and are allowed to really contribute to the album. I liked the SN song that Lukas sang on ("It's On"), and the one they played in the webisode this week, but other than that, nothing is blowing me away. All 3 of these guys and Butch Walker have written better songs, what the hell is going on now? Anyway, that's my 2 cents. Great job Dave. TPC album is great. The Camp Freddy cover of Surrender is fantastic!

Storm is incredibly beautiful and talented, and she's gonna kick some serious ass with all this exposure. She wasn't right for the band anyway.

Chris(t)

Well all I can say is Lukas would be my choice I'm a musician and know several other musicians and every single one of them would take Lukas.Last year everyone I knew who knew music thought it was Suzie because of her voice or JD because of his overall package.This year I can't find a sole who likes any of the other singers.

Now I know lots of people who aren't musicians and they are all over the board.They think it's American Idol.It ain't.

Yo what up....I was kinda hoping Dialna went home.....she's getting on my nerves. First she writes a song about telling the voters to eff off, then she sings a song saying she needs us! Make up your mind!! Im sad Storm went home, but someone had to go. And I know they weren't gonna send Lucas home. Speaking of which....I can NEVER understand what he's saying "SUBTITLES!!!"

Dani, "Lots of love from a small, cold chilly country that still remembers Dilana from her radio performance years ago."

You mean from way back when she first RECORDED Mother, Mother?:/ Anyway, I'd recommend you watch ALL the webisodes, you've obviously missed more than a few. Oh and for the record, you many think Beetlejuice(I see Edward Scissorhands crossed with Jack "Depp";)), but it was Dilana, Dilana, Dilana that tried to work her mojo, lol.XD

Dave..listening to ONe...love Night One...probably my favorite on the cd.
Question for the rest of you....can anyone tell me where I might be able to check out some original Lukas Rossi music, pre RS SN? I was directed to a couple of pages that appear to have been changed or removed. Any help would be great.

Thanks

Hi Dave, can't wait to see the House Band, Panic Channel and SN at the Fox in Detroit, MI, dependent upon the winner of this competition.
*
*
I was very sorry to see Storm go but, had a feeling she was not right for SN from the start.
*
*
Loved Luka's original, Headspin...sorry everyone but that happened to be the song that I was singing at the end of the show, NOT oh,oh,oh,oh......ack. Toby's original song just didn't do it for me. I found it to be very cliche, commercial garbage. Catchy, well maybe....but it's the type of song that if you happen to hear it for the 4th or 5th time, you will be racing to change the radio dial while yelling "I am so sick of this song".
*
*
Anyway, I really don't get all of the Toby hype. Vocally, he hasn't changed a blasted thing. Has he ever done a ballad? Or an emotional type of song? Has he ever given anyone chills with his vocals and performance? If so, it must have sounded so much like all of his other songs and I just can't remember anything outstanding about it. Toby Versatile? Hardly. Been there, done that, seen it and heard it a hundred times before. Anyway, there are already too many Toby's out there trying to get a gig and sound too much the same. Good lookin, yes, I will give him that but, that is about it. Mediocre.
*
*
If SN wants a unique frontman that can stand out from the rest, who can truly feel the song and makes us feel it along with him, whether it's an emotional or rockin song, who can be versatile, edgy and into the now (not 1982)(oh,oh,oh,oh), and who doesn't have to run out into the crowd to grab our attention because he grabs our attention automatically, then Lukas is the man!!!!! I don't hear this mumbling some people say that he is doing and his vocals are very unique. Everything about him is unique and hard to find in any rocker nowadays. There is only one Lukas Rossi and that is Lukas Rossi......
*
*
Magni.....yyyyyaaaaawwwwwnnnnnnn.
*
*
Dilana....she can rock better on one leg than most of us can on two legs. Even though she is not much a songwriter, she is a great performer at any rate. Definitely not boring. Maybe not right for SN afterall but, I am very glad to see her out of that funk that she was in.
*
*
I am disturbed to think that SN would be leaning more toward Toby in this competition. SN needs a front person who is not only younger (Toby, Lukas) but who has a modern edge and versatility that stands out. Toby? Not in this lifetime. I like Toby a lot but, he bores the hell right out of me....I couldn't handle more than a couple of songs from him in one sitting.
*
*
Can't wait to see TPC.

INTERESTING! That 3 out of the bottom 4 are left handed!

Dave,
Sorry to see Storm go. She had it all, poise, class, vocals, talent, humour, & professionalism. While I didn't think she would make it to the end I still thought Dilana should have been the next one to go. Nonetheless we will definitely support Storm in her endeavours! Hey are you guys already scouting for the next season of SN?? We are in Calgary and saw a very official SN vehicle driving around the other day (didn't catch the plates). What's up?? A Fan.

I've watched the show from the beginning and have seen several of the performers evolve each week while others just seem to stay in the same place and never move a muscle.

Dilanadrama is a term I see here today that I LOVE. I'm not discounting the fact that her voice is amazing, but she seems to have lost her perspective. It's all about begging the fans to let her win this thing now, and to me that's just pathetic. It seems that everyone else has been willing to forget it, and she just keeps draggin it along behind her and standin on it like a soapbox. I would much rather have seen her go home last night than Storm, and I'
