Rock Star Audition Scene - We All Die Young

This is the audition scene from the movie "Rock Star". To clarify, Mark Wahlberg IS singing during the tentative parts of the audition. The rest of the audition (ie. the good part), the vocals are supplied by Miljenko Matijevic of the band "Steelheart".

[@ferox965]

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.

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.

Such a great song ❤

[@MusicAsWeMakeIt]

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

i have to say that mark does great on matching the words. first time i saw this movie i actully thought that was him

[@juantwin]

Yes, it is a very good movie and the Soundtrack are awesome!.. Thanks for the clarification on the voice (singer) because I always thought maybe was Mark. Bye

[@mandiferrer]

this movie was in 2001... 6 years later (2007), Arnel Pineda was discovered by Journey, and Tommy Decarlo joined Boston, 2017 Ronnie Platt joined Kansas. To these guys, fairy tale is real...

this movie and the dirt will always be my all time favourate

[@CerealDust-nStuff]

Fantastic movie!

[@Encrypted_God]

despite of all of the critics about this movie, I like it a lot. And I still watch it occasionally. I think it depicts the lifestyle similar to the actual shit some rock stars go through. And if I may be so bold to say; Motley Crue might agree

[@mjfoxfan3101]

This is why I don't listen to critics. A lot of my favorite movies weren't liked by critics. I make my own decisions.

@@mjfoxfan3101 thank you.

Aniston was so pretty in this film...Underrated movie

[@danielfox3003]

This is the movie that finally changed my mind about Mark Whalberg.

Thanks for the upload

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.

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
