Instant Favorite.

The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

If you've ever wondered what the inner world of a metal band looks like, you won't go that far off the mark with this very entertaining reality show. Admittedly, many aspects of the show are more akin to MTV's "The Real World", but there are more than enough metal-cliché situations to go around. The producers were smart in selecting a zoo-like variety to be the show's band members; in some ways, these five guys couldn't be more different.Let's start with Sebastian Bach, whose pompous-sounding name might totally mislead you if you've never heard of him. But chances are that you have: he was the effeminate singer of Skid Row, a relatively short-lived, truly bad, MTV-hyped hard rock band for deaf teenie-boppers. He doesn't look like a woman any more (we're talking Hanson and BROS here), but he sings just as awfully as 15 years earlier; his one or two remaining fans (probably female, and probably fat housewives by now) should be pleased with that. All five guys are entertaining at one point or another - except perhaps the mostly dull Bonham - but it's Bach who steals the show. With what, you say? With his unbridled enthusiasm for all things idiotic, and for his infinite stupidity. In many ways he confirms every rock cliché there ever was: a silicone-breasted empty-headed wife, alcoholism, big ego, childishness, animated behaviour, unchecked testosterone levels, 20-word vocabulary, etc. Also, an even bigger primadonna than Mariah Carey and La Lopez rolled into one.Scott Ian is arguably the most greedy, money-orientated, business-savvy thrash musician alongside Lars Ulrich. Trust Scott to try to revive his long-ignored career with his almost forgotten Anthrax by joining this flashy TV program. Speaking of revival, this is the man who re-re-re-revives his side-project S.O.D. every time his main cash-cow Anthrax struggles to bring in the dough. ("No money from Anthrax? C'me on Charlie, Time to phone Billy Milano!" Or join "Supergroup"...) Mr.Eisen presents himself in his best light, though; he comes off as a personable, laid-back, ready-to-compromise all-round nice guy - all of which he might actually be, for all I know. His social skills are enviable. I just wanted to make it clear that his motivation for doing this program was most probably financially driven, hence had nothing or little to do with his "love of music", as one reviewer here so very naively suggests.I dislike his music, but Ted Nugent is quite a character. One of the extremely few non-liberals amongst the rock/pop world of idiots, he is a man's man, lives on a farm, loves weapons, has a solid dose of common-sense (especially considering he's a hard rock singer/guitarist), and is cheerful and amusing. He is also much older than most of the others hence must have occasionally felt as if he were spending those two weeks in a kindergarten villa. (On second thought, having toured for decades now, he should pretty much be acclimated to moronic, juvenile behavior.) Watching him converse with Bach, one gets the distinct impression of a meeting between beings from different planets; Nugent's somewhat laid-back semi-frustration with Bach's tiny mind was almost palpable. But it wasn't just Ted who felt he had to approach the over-sensitive, immature Bach with kid gloves.Evan tried it, too, but failed when he and Bach got into a brawl. Evan Seinfeld: Ian Scott may love money more than music, but at least he doesn't pimp his wife. Evan does. Seinfeld married the famous porn star Tera Patrick. She had wanted to quit the business, but HE talked HER into continuing (not the other way round!), just so he could milk as much money out of her silicone breasts - and admittedly terrific face and body - as he possibly can. Even worse (or "Evan worse"), Seinfeld has managed to go down a notch from being a singer/bassist in a hardcore band to becoming a porn actor himself. If you ever see a squat, bald, heavily tattooed man with O-shaped legs in a porn film getting down and dirty with his half-Thai wife, that's Evan. Alongside S.O.D., Biohazard is easily the best band that is quasi-represented here. It's kind of pathetic and sad to see what a washed-up lunatic Evan has turned into over the years. I had a distinct impression that Seinfeld wasn't being himself as much as Bach, for example. Evan is an a**hole and he knows this. He made considerable effort to hide this fact.Bonham is dull. An English person without personality and humour? How did they manage that?? That is masterful anti-achievement by the producers. Besides, aside from being the offspring of a famous drummer, what well-known or good-quality band has he ever played in? Supergroup? Supergroup's music is predictably crap; cheesy, dull, annoying hard rock of the most stereotypical kind. But what could have one possibly expected from Bach on vocals, a porn actor on bass, an out-of-touch Nuge, and a greedy midget on rhythm guitar... The point of the show never was to create proper music. That was just a front, the main purpose being for us to watch these five clowns/personalities clash in true "Real World" fashion...Where's the damn sequel? If even Andy Milonakis gets to have additional seasons, then why not make more Supergroups? Or has everyone been sufficiently scared by what they saw in the first seasons...

I am giving this a 10 because its funny while being bad at the same time.I still joke about parts of this with my friends, mainly at the expense of Sebastian Bach.What makes a lot of it funny to me is the way it was edited and the background music and sounds added. EG: when they finish the gig and go backstage there is this cheesy cabana style music, and when Ted cook a BBQ on the day of the gig and mentions that Cherokee Indians cooked over the open flame this whistling Indian music kicks in.I found S Bach amusing as he loves rock and carries on like a dork rock star. Amazingly the drummer Jason Bonham is very sensible (amazing because he is a drummer. Ted was interesting as we do not see much of him in Australia. Scott Ian was cool, Evan Seinfeld was a bit of a knob.Overall a lot of fun

I have been watching this show since it began, and I must say I enjoy watching Scott Ian, Ted Nudgent and Jason. I enjoy Ian's pure love for playing music, Jason's mature nature and skill when playing (but hey when your dad was the original drummer for Led Zeppelin) and the "Nudge's" pure energy for life. But... I must say they really went wrong with Bach and Evan Seinfeld. I understand they need to have people with conflicting personalities and who better then Bach as the front man for this "supergroup" but he is the most annoying, self-center human in this world. Seinfeld clashes with Bach in way that it keeps you interested in whats happening but at the same time, neither of them have a lot to offer the band musically or personally. Bach is a poor singer and Evan is background noise, filling in a dead-low-end.But I must say over all this is a great idea by Vh1 to put these guys together and make some great music and funny situations. But I am afraid it might be a little to late for Bach to get back some of his Skid Row days.Overall I give this an 8/10
