If you pre-order the album, you will receive a free bonus collector's edition DVD which features audition interview footage with the 15 finalists ? not available anywhere else. Unfortunately this pre-order is available to United States residents only.

SUPERNOVA is using the "Rock Star" TV program to search for a lead singer from a pool of 15 contestants selected in auditions around the world.

Wow, that's kinda jumping the gun a bit isn't it?

I hope they do well, but judging by the original Supernova material I've heard, I don't think they'll be that successful. It's ok, nothing groundbreaking. And the contestants competing to front the band aren't anything special either.

I honestly haven't watched a single second of the TV show or heard a single note of their music, how close are they to choosing a singer?

[bazgnr]

After hearing the two originals they've "rocked" so far, I am completely underwhelmed.  It's not anything I'd listen to on the radio, let alone pay to see live.  Just my opinion, of course, but the music, lyrics, and melodies seem mediocre at best...I think these guys are capable of far better.

They're two weeks away from choosing a singer at this point, I believe.

[tomass74]

The whole thing reeks of gayness......

[Top-Hatted One]

thats what happens when Gilby is most likely your lead songwriter. The songs are pretty good but nothing great. The rhythm section of tommy & jason is ace though! The show is entertaining. Should be interesting to see what the singer adds to the mix

[tomass74]

I didn't even hear the song.  Or have the slightest interest in it..... Total sell out.

[GnR-NOW]

When is theyre cd going to be released?

CBS is picking the whole  tab up .Supernova does not lose one penny on this whole gimmick.Wouldnt you do it as well if you were Tommu,Jason, or gilby ?

Definately not...  They are playing the DCU center.. That should be about 1/10 full.

toronto is sold out...at least i couldn't buy tickets on ticketmaster

[billsguy]

yeah i think you forget that the whole crowd will be "reality tv" viewers.  lots of women, lots of fans who don't know that kind of music.  their ticket sales are doing really well

[codenameninja]

begs the question, why did Jason Newsted leave Metallica for this? 

[Neemo]

When is theyre cd going to be released?

november 21st

[TheMole]

november 21st

At least they have a date

[Mr Rage]

they picked lukas, he looks the part but crap singer

[Robman?]

they make it seem like this awesome world tour, but so few US dates. This reeks of get on the road, make some $$ of an album, and then return to the usual stuff

I have to agree with you on this one. Where will that leave Lukas? Poor guy thinks he has a future with this band.

No dates near me and no plans of traveling to see them. I'll wait for song bytes before I decide to buy the CD or not.

[AxlReznor]

The only thing that would make those shows worth going to (other than Gilby and Jason of course), I believe will be The Panic Channel as opening act.  Dave Navarro's amazing.

He didn't.
Since being in Metallica he's been a member of Voivod and Ozzy Osbourne's band.
