I was 17 years old in 1986 & playing in probably 4-5 hair band garage bands. When this movie came out in 2000 I couldn't wait to go see it at the movies. This is the best scene of the movie to me...all I could do is smile when he was offered the gig. I'm a cross-country truck driver now for over 20 years...and I still listen to my 80s hair bands...if I live to be 80...i'll still be an 80s headbanger.

I love this scene. Everything about it is just right. Mark being super nervous, but then his talent just takes over. The pecking order in the band. How it comes down to just the manager* and the guitarist to decide. How they only want him to do this one part of one song, because if he can do this part, he can do their whole catalog.

[@richardwelch9796]

Manager, not roadie.

[@Slask7]

This scene is so well crafted. The writing and performances are spot on, especially if you’re a musician and know how this situations unfold. The music is divine, the director chose the perfect song for the audition, and Matijevic recorded an amazing take: not as perfect as the original version, because the voice has to showcase Izzy being shy and nervous, but gains more power as he progresses through the chorus thus reflecting his newfound confidence. Last but not least the sound mix was a superb choice: we can hear from inside the booth, so it’s Izzy’s pov, isolated from the rest. After they stop the song and talk, we hear his breath above every other sound. This way the audience is truly immersed in Whalberg’s position, and he delivers both the anxiety and excitement through his facial expressions and with his breath. Brilliant.

Miljenko Matijevic, of Steelheart fame, belting this one out. He had, unquestionably, the best pipes of the 80's rockers. Just a shame he was a bit late to the party as they didn't get going until 89/90. For any youngins watching this: the mid-to-late 80's were one of the best eras in American history. We had moved past a lot of the racial and cultural divides, no one took themselves too seriously, competition was fierce but also inspiring others to greatness, people went for their dreams, and the music was at the zenith of it all. Entertainment wasn't just a platform for political theater as it has become today. Free speech, freedom to treat your body as your own, and freedom to gather were all held sacred. You can see it in all the movies, and hear it in all the music.

They had a formula for making money and they did not want to stray, hence the term corporate rock. He got tired of it and moved on. Why do you think he moved to Seattle?...Enter Grunge.

[@tommitchell7294]

@@niltomega2978 corporate rock and grunge are just allegories in this movie --- it's a story about one man pursuing his dream, and then realizing it wasn't what he thought, and realizing he had the dream all along (ie, the love of his woman)

[@bladebitten2766]

It honestly felt like this when I had to sing in my audition to get on a music course at college. The smile on my face when they said there was a space for me if I wanted it...

[@briansweany4704]

The people who think this is Mark Wahlberg's voice...I can't even. The vocals for ALL his Steel Dragon songs were sung by Steelheart frontman Miljenko Matijevic. "We All Die Young" is in fact a Steelheart song. This is just a harder, more up-tempo version of the '96 original. The only actor in the entire movie whose actual singing voice is featured is Myles Kennedy, the singer who Wahlberg pulls on stage toward the end of the movie to replace him. But Myles of course was already a real-life rock star.

I believe Jeff Scott Soto had a hand in some of the vocals as well.

My favourite music ensemble movie of all time I so absolutely love it!!!!!!!! This movie is so way too UNDERRATED!!!!!!!!

[@torque122]

Can you imagine?! THAT FEELING “WELL MATE DO YOU WANT THE GIG THEN?” 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@julieschultz6363]

The furthest band member to the right is my friend Jeff Pilson from Dokken. Another friend of mine (Blas Elias from Slaughter) was in Blood Pollution at the beginning.

[@misharimohammed1095]

Mark Wahlberg relly awesome in this movie

[@misharimohammed1095]

yes i do love this song why i don`t ??

[@DanInBranson]

He was good, but that wasn't him singing. It was Miljenko Matijevic, the lead singer from Steelheart.

Mishari Mohammed j

[@murdoch483]

UofMichFan It was in him singing in certain instances. I believe this audition was walburg but the concert wasn't. That's why if listen closely to the movie, you'll notice it sometimes sounds different.

[@06alwilliams]

Mishari Mohammed he killed it!!

[@maddenmanification9792]

Feels good to have Jimmy McNulty from the Wire tell you you got the gig.

[@beez7537]

One of the best "under the radar" movies ever.

[@MusicAsWeMakeIt]

Holding the last note sold me. LOL. The best part of this movie though is the ending. 😊

[@EDOGG62]

As someone who went to one of the top music schools in the country, and had this very dream since he was in elementary school, this movie was how I hoped it would all eventually play out for me as well. I've had a couple of major auditions, but never found the right fit, which is what it's all about. That and being a good hang. But it still has been a blast and I've had the chance to play with some well-known national artists, so that's not too shabby. Great fun... both music and the movie itself.

[@martydibergi5228]

Friends with a world renowned touring musician most important thing for him is side players are not obnoxious timely and excellent musical training his side guys have also toured with other million selling artists in LA and Nashville very insightful for me anyhow

[@ThirteenToOne]
