For those of us that started posting about Rockstar:INXS on the TelevisionWithoutPity forums, looks like Producer Dave (David Goffin, exec prod) is checking out the new Rock Star thread and posting some goodies. Here's what he had to say about the new season:
Couple of quick notes before the season starts:
1. this will not be a heavy metal or hard rock show or a heavy metal or hard rock album by Supernova. CBS would not want the former, and Tommy Lee is pretty current in his musical tastes.
2. The music covered on the show will be as good if not better than last season. The music industry really respects the show and even though the prices are not cheap, we have had even more cooperation than last season in securing rights to the best rock songs ever. (3 teases: Coldplay, Bon Jovi, and Tom Petty).
3. Auditions for the cast went extremely well. Incredibly good talent. We will not have final names until the middle of June.
4. If you do not have broadband internet yet, GET IT. The reality show on our website on MSN is going to be epic.
5. Sorry about the inability to do a full episode DVD [of RS:INXS], the music costs would have priced this in the stratosphere....welcome to music television.
Can I just say how EXCITED I am about RS: Supernova and I'm so happy that OBINXS has added an area where we can chat about it. Here's to a new summer full of music and fun!
