I'm afraid that the time has come to admit that the Bad Boys of Rawk, The Suave Porn, have lived out their final days as newsmakers & as a band, cuz let's face it, I think we've seen the last of this "supergroup".
After all the disastrous reviews {not counting the ones by fan-girlies, the tone deaf, & the literal deaf ~ oh, that's harsh! I did like a couple of their songs} they've done gone split up! At least, this is the only conclusion that I can reach, since a news search on Google doesn't come up with ANYTHING other than what the other contestants of the TV show are doing, & no one has seen hide nor hair of anyone {except T. Lee, but that's to be expected, more hide than hair usually!}.
According to Wikipedia, they are still a group & the rumour that Bilgy quit was just that, a rumour. Well, I want proof they're still together. Let's see 2 or more of them actually in the same room at the same time. Let's see them perform somewhere ~ WITH Jason ~ somewhere...anywhere, sometime soon.
I'm not going to hold my breath waiting for that to happen. You shouldn't either, for any new postings.

Did I Tell You Or Did I Tell You?
Lukas Rossi has apparently married the love of his life, porn star Kendra Jade, in a Las Vegas chapel earlier this year.
You may remember reading about the budding romance here.
My query ~ why did this not make the front page of the newspapers or the evening telecast when all of Canada was all atwitter when he won the big contest? Oh wait, mayhaps it did. I don't watch the news.
My bad.

Another Less-Than-Rave Review
This time from the New Zealand Herald. Read it here.

"You want them to rock, like the show - face it, you were addicted. But Rockstar Supernova the album is routine, and that's something rock'n'roll is not."

Album Premiere
Mere days ~ okay, hours ~ ahead of the official release date, you can hear the tracks from the Suave Porn album ~ okay, CD ~ if you clicky clicky here.
Updated Webpage
The boys have shelled out some extra cash to lure in/entertain the masses on their webpage. Almost impressive enough to make me forget that they are not performing in Alberta, Saskatchewan, or Manitoba.
Almost.
Almost.

Canadian Tour Dates
Rockstar Supernova stops in Montreal on Jan. 23, Toronto on Jan. 24, and Vancouver on Feb. 19.
So I guess that's a big "SCREW YOU, PRAIRIES!"

I know nothing about this guy, except he seems to be the "ex-bassist" for a lot of groups. No judgement, just a comment.

It's On
Leave the Lights On
Be Yourself (And 5 Other Cliches)

Can't Bring Myself To Light This Fuse

House Band: Where Are They Now?
Our boys, the incredible House Band from Rockstar, will be the backup band for Paul Stanley on his upcoming solo tour.
Lukas Has A New Girlfriend
...and her name is Kendra Jade, former porn star.
Do we all remember the "incident" with his long-time girlfriend Francesca { 7 years dating} at the after-party on Finale Night? If not, check it the post here or view the video here. When do you think their relationship ended? That night, or a respectable 24 hours after he became the lead singer of Suave Porn?

My Thoughts Echoed
From Culio.com
A major shoulder injury has forced Rock Star Supernova bassist Jason Newsted to take time off of the band - up to nine months off. Jason tore his left bicep and rotator cuff when he tried to catch a bass that fell off an amplifier. Rock Star Supernova's album comes out next month, and the band's tour is scheduled to begin on December 31st. A replacement for Jason is being searched for.
"When we started this project, I was handed a list of names -- guys who could potentially anchor our rhythm section," Lee says in a statement. "I responded by crumpling up the paper and asking, 'Where's Newsted?' Jason was always the right guy for this band and we'll miss having him with us as we kick off our album and tour, but we know he'll be back as soon as he can pick up and play."
So this makes yet another cancellation for fans who already bought tickets for the shows. The beloved House Band, as well as several finalists who were scheduled to be on the tour have been dumped. And now Jason most likely won't be around. I wonder who else will disappear by the time the shows start.
Isn't that what I said? I think so.

More Tour Bad News
Hot off the press from Dave Navarro's blog:
"I just received news that Jason Newsted will not be joining Supernova on the upcoming tour. He has apparently sustained a serious shoulder injury and will be out of commission for up to 9 months. That... SUCKS!!! Word on the street is that his bass head fell on him. Jason, I feel your pain... I hope you make a swift recovery. "
Also, confirmed from T.Lee's website:
ROCK STAR SUPERNOVA BASSIST JASON NEWSTED SUFFERS SHOULDER INJURY IN ACCIDENT:
As they gear up for the November 21st release of their highly anticipated Epic debut and the New Year's Eve launch of their much-buzzed-about national tour, ROCK STAR SUPERNOVA have suffered a major setback with the loss of all-star bassist Jason Newsted.
The former Metallica member is scheduled for immediate surgery to repair a torn anterior labrum in his left shoulder and a rotator cuff and bicep tear in the right. Newsted suffered the injuries while trying to catch a 90-lb bass head that had fallen from atop his amp. The surgery will be followed by a lengthy rehab assignment that could leave him sidelined for up to nine months.
"I'm freaking out," Says Newsted, "My heart was set on finally getting on the road with these guys, but my main focus now is to build myself back to 100%. The stage is set for the band, I wish them the best of luck."
The band - rounded out by vocalist Lukas Rossi, drummer Tommy Lee and guitarist Gilby Clarke - is currently searching for a suitable replacement to handle touring duties while Newsted recovers.
"When we started this project, I was handed a list of names--guys who could potentially anchor our rhythm section," says Lee. "I responded by crumpling up the paper and asking, 'Where's Newsted?' Jason was always the right guy for this band and we'll miss having him with us as we kick off our album and tour, but we know he'll be back as soon as he can pick up and play. As for who will handle bass duties until then, we've got a few monster guys in mind, any one of which can hit the ground running. Stay tuned."
Here's my question ~ is ANYONE actually going to be on the tour as previously advertised? I have my doubts.
In other news, heard Suave Porn song "Be Yourself & 5 OTher Cliches" on the radio yesterday. Sounded good.

What Were They Thinking?
So the rock group that needed to be named thought long & hard into the night over beers, tequila shots & skanky women to come up with a new name for their amazing band.
After assembling all their brain cells into one petrie dish, putting it into one of those amazing machine froms CSI that shake, rattle & roll evidence samples, they heard a tiny, squeeky "A-Ha!". A new name they have.
drumroll please.
And the winner is: Rockstar:Supernova. That's right. They've named the band after the show.

Other Name Options
Continuing with helping SP find a new name {although why they wouldn't use SuavePorn is beyond me} here are a couple other options, made from anagrams of SuperNova ~ and no, I did not think of these myself:
A Perv On Us
So Parvenu
parvenu \PAR-vuh-noo; -nyoo\, noun:1. One that has recently or suddenly risen to a higher social or economic class but has not gained social acceptance of others in that class; an upstart.
