STEEL DRAGON is the name of a fictitious heavy metal band featuring real musicians, created to appear in the movie Rock Star (2001), inclusively being responsible for the movie’s original soundtrack. The members / performers included lead vocals by Jeff Scott Soto (Talisman, Yngwie) & Miljenko Matijevic (Steelheart), guitars by Zakk Wylde (Black Label Society, Ozzy Osbourne), Jeff Pilson (Foreigner, Dokken) on bass & songwritng, and drummer Jason Bonham (Foreigner, Led Zeppelin).
While some of the songs appeared in the official movie soundtrack release, others where omitted, despite of being professionally recorded & produced by expert Tom Werman (Dokken, Twited Sister).
As requested, here’s all the STEEL DRAGON songs, a bootleg known as “Lubricator“. There’s a mistake on th 6th track listed as ‘Steel Dragon / Desperate Hearts’, which in fact it’s the song ‘Colorful’ performed by the band The Verve Pipe. The version heard in the movie isn’t this one, but an acoustic take by Chris Cole Band. We decided to include The Verve Pipe’s track into the file anyway, as it is in the bootleg.
However, we added as extra the actual ‘Desperate Hearts’ performed by Jeff Scott Soto – there isn’t a studio recording of the track, it’s just as it is heard in the movie, but well worth listening. A great song written by Jeff Pilson (also recorded with his band War & Peace).
You can’t go wrong here: top musicians and songs written by Pilson, Desmond Child, Blackmore / Dio, Peter Beckett, Steve Plunkett, Sammy Hagar, Zakk Wylde… quality stuff!
