By the way, am I wrong? Or were all the songs on it actually songs performed by other bands? I felt like I've heard "Steel Dragon" songs before, from other artists.

It was a mix. Long Live Rock n' Roll was originally done by Rainbow in the '70s, and We All Die Young was a Steelheart song released a few years before the movie. And I think Reckless was an existing song too.
The rest were original as far as I remember, although Sammy Hagar later did his own version of Stand Up And Shout, as he'd written the song for the movie.

Myung'd by yourself.

How could I forget "Long Live Rock'n'Roll"!?

I figured it was a mix, but I knew I heard those songs somewhere. It's funny because whenever I have to play a Rock Star or anything of the sort in Scene Study class, I always come up with a compilation of songs by all sorts of artists as my "Discography".

I am going to suggest the following names for this new supergroup:

Tight Fit
Hot Pants
Hot Fit
Tight Pants
Captain Adercrombie's Experimental Hat & Comb Band.

I think any of these are viable names.

Some of these sound like something Justin Hawkins of the Darkness would name his side groups.

Not sure if aware but he did have a side project called Hot Leg.


Anyway :

Sergeant Kennedy's Petrucci Mark Club Labrie

I am actually quite aware that Hawkins did a side project called Hot Leg.  They actually played support to AB during their 2008 Fall Europe Tour.  Man, those UK AB fans were giving Hot Leg a lot of crap.  I don't know how much was actually warranted.  Though, I heard Hawkins was probably egging them on or something.

Well, I'm looking at the wikipedia on the movie and some of the songs (if not all) sang by Steel Dragon have been played by other artists.  I want to know where Stand Up and Shout came from.  It sounds like such a great tune and Myles busts out the "Stand up and Shout!!!!!!!" part so well, when anyone mentions to him about his part in Rock Star.

Edit: NVM, I found it.  Sammy Hagar (or was it Steelheart?) probably created it for the movie.

No, it was actually Jeff Scott Soto.  If you search, there are a ton of versions of his band doing it on YouTube.  For example:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ShVDALT8CgI

I can't remember now whether Wahlberg actually sang some parts in the movie, but if I'm remembering it correctly, I seem to recall that he actually did cut vocals that were added very low in the mix underneath the primary singer so as to have someone who could actually sing well (like Soto) doing the main part, but there would subliminally be a tinge of Wahlberg's voice in the harmony to make it sound more believable that he was doing it.

As for the part that Myles' character sang, those are Myles' actual vocals.
