Rock Star

This was actually pretty good. Not something that I would have paid to see in the theater, but it wasn't too bad. Mark Wahlber stars as Chris Cole, lead singer in a cover/tribute band. He idolizes the lead singer, Bobby Beers, of a band called Steel Dragon. His dreams come true when he replaces Bobby as the lead singer for Steel Dragon. But, the real rock star life is not all it's cracked up to be. This movie is supposed to be based on a true story:

The film was inspired by the real-life story of Tim "Ripper" Owens, singer in a Judas Priest cover band who was chosen to replace singer Rob Halford when he left Judas Priest.

I got the above information (in italics) from the IMDB
