Did anybody else watch this thing? What a mess!
Dave Navarro is NOT a reality show host. I don’t care what Carmen Electra says.
And who is this Brooke person?
Way too many contestants for a first show and none of them shows me much. Don’t think I’ll be back.
Brooke Burke is Bruce Willis’s girlfriend and apparently a well-known hottie. She also hosted Dog Eat Dog a few summers ago. (That was a delightfully stupid show. I wish they’d bring it back.)
Dave Navarro is an idiot but we already knew that.
As far as not being able to tell anyone apart – you never can, at this point in a reality show. I don’t even expect to be able to until the third or fourth show.
I found it entertaining and expect to watch again.
twicks, notorious reality-TV slut
Actually, the host of “Dog Eat Dog” was Brooke Burns. This is Brooke Burke. And yeah, this show is pretty bad. It kind of demonstrates most of what’s terrible about the “rock star” look and sound.
Wasn’t Brooke Burke the host of that E tv show “Wild On…”, which was basically one of those bad “show us your tits” videos barely scrubbed for tv? Never saw it, but seem to remember her name from an article I read…no, really!
I actually wanted to see the show - I don’t watch reality tv, but have some good memories about INXS from back in the day. Sounds like I didn’t miss much?
Gets into a time machine
Goes 'way back
Smacks Michael Hutchence upside the head. “Find a safer way to channel your sexual energies, you dipstick!”
Returns to the present.
Puts on headphones and cranks up Shabooh Shoobah, still grumbling.
Oops.
So which one is Bruce Willis’s gf?
I dunno, but Brooke Burns was so smoking hot. And she was really good with the contestants, too. You could tell she was smart and had a wicked sense of humor.
God, I want to marry her.
I had a mad girlhood crush on Michael Hutchence and still have all my cassettes from high school. INXS was one of my favorite groups for a long time, and I had definite reservations about what this show was going to be like. And I have to say that while the whole situation’s a little macabre, I was generally entertained by the singing (except Dana, who deserved to leave for that awful screeching, and the blond guy from Chicago whose name begins with an “M” who generally sucked). The women seem on the whole stronger performers than the men, which would be interesting.
It looks like I might be in the minority, but I really like Dave Navarro as a co-host. I also liked seeing all the INXS guys again. Garry Beers has not aged one bit since the mid-to-late 80s, it seems. I don’t know what’s going on with Kirk Pengilly, but the look is freaking me out.
Sad to say, I saw this. It’s an attempted by an aging band (whose star fell before their singer’s death) to try to become popular again. A bunch of wannabes performed the kind of old rock standards popular on arthritically programed “classic” rock stations. The edgiest selection was Burning Down the House. I don’t think any song performed was under ten years old. Some of the singers were okay. Some of them were horrible. One woman forgot the lyrics to the song she had selected. One woman gave a rendition of Knocking on Heaven’s Door that was so bad it made the Bob Dylan version sound like Placido Domingo. She paused in the song to do a groan of some sort that seemed to last for twenty minutes. But the worst was the Canadian guy who sang American Woman while he did a vigorous psuedo-masterbation act on stage. This would be tasteless under normal circumstances, but considering the rumors that Hutchence died while spanking the monkey it’s just unfathomable.
I thought it was great, and almost all the singers were very good.
Anyone else think the contestants were trying to hard to be “rockers?” Rockerdom should flow naturally, not be the result of attempting to live up to some archetype.
Yeah. I couldn’t believe they commented approvingly on the guy doing the Mick Jagger imitation.
I have a little baby boner for the red head with the tats.
Dave Navarro I think is just instantly likable. He just seems like a nice guy.
Brooke Brook-urns is cute but I dont’ understand what she is there for… well I do… but I could care less about her.
Johnny Humps-the-Stage was embarassing… but not as bad as Johnny “Heroes” Eye Sex with an Obvious Plant in the Audience guy.
During the morning party scene where they sat around singing (Black Crowes?)… I turned to my friend who iwas watching it with and said “A house of lead singers… jesus that has to be the most annoying house ever.”
Heather – she regularly performs at a neighborhood pub I frequent. I guess I should say “performed” because I’m sure this is going to raise her visibility a fair amount. I want to see how she does – it’s the only reason I’m watching this otherwise crappy show.

(apologies if this double posts…board is ssslllloooowwww…)
No kidding. What was that? They might as well hire an Elvis impersonator.
Interesting to see how they flogged it over here as “ROCKERS FROM AROUND THE WORLD - AUSTRALIA!!!111ONE!!” because, yano, INXS are Australian and all. And there was only one person from outside North America. And he was some fruity plant who I swear was an actor on Australian kids TV a few years ago.
There was also a CANADIAN. I think it was the miserable J.D.
There are four. J.D., Suzie, Tara (former lead of Joydrop!) and Deanna.
Even though mohawk haircuts irritate me to no end, I have to say that Ty impressed me. He actually showed some presence.
