Thanks: Gave 16, Got 10 | Why isn't there a rock/metal-based television talent programme?
All of this X Factor and Pop Idol stuff just doesn't do it for me, and I'm sure a lot of you will agree. Why isn't there a rock/metal-based television talent programme? It'd be brilliant! It may even rekindle the long-lost love for rock and phase out those corporate whores like Duffy and Leona Lewis and bring good music back into the charts. A programme like that might be fairly underground to start because rock and metal isn't as accessible as it once was. All walks of bands could appear - from alternative rock to black metal - it's their programme and they'll be doing what they love. How's it sound?  .

what kind of serious rock band would be seen dead on a talent show? would be the first question people would be asking.
i think most proper rockers wouldnt bother leaving jumped up dickheads entering with not enough talent.
thats my opinion anyway.

The Tommy Lee one was called "Rock Star". It was a search for a singer for the supergroup consisting of Lee, Dave Navarro, Jason Newstead and er...someone else.
There is a rumour of a reality/talent show starting in the USA to find a new rock band. Weather it takes the format of bringing individuals together to form a band or takes existing unsigned bands and pitting them against one another is unclear.
Two things to note about this story...
1. It's a Simon Cowell project.
2. Kate Moss is to be a judge.

Rock music is all about credibility. These numpties that go on 'talent' shows are no better than glorified karaoke singers.
