The NEW Rock School

[Liz from Cheshire]

Ok anyone else gonna admit to watching this one

Set this time in a comprehensive in Lowestoft with a bunch of kids who to start with couldnt give a stuff!

But there`s always one that shines through...take it away 4ft 11 Chris looking like the personification of the lad in Def Leppard`s Let`s Get Rocked video or a C21st artful dodger from Oliver, this little guy can sing, play guitar and drums.
So what happens..Mom and Dad haul him off on holiday

Head in hands, Gene is left with choosing from those that are left...a dirty job but he`s the man to do it... and fairplay when he makes his choices a spark is ignited and the kids finally find some purpose... "well makes a change from drinking cider under the pier" as one of em puts it

I cant say I love the programme but I will be watching if only to see if they play some more Black Crowes ;D

Flack jacket on me thinks....

I watched it last night (seeing as I can't get on the internet in the evenings )

Erm.........can I just say that if any of my children behaved like that or spoke like that I would kill them? God - they are *awful* !!!! *So* Chavish! Blimey, my kids certainly aren't angels but they are completely saintly compared to that lot!

On the plus side, if the programme makes them have an interest in life and actually do something, then it can only be a good thing I guess.

And as for that girl with that revolting ring through her lip - urgh! I can't believe the school allows it. She sounds like Vicky Pollard ;D

All that aside, love the programme tho [saddo alert icon]

The arrogance of Gene Simmons makes me die laughing

Good fun, if only to make me appreciate my own children more!

cant say i'm bothered about this one. Gene is and always has been a total jerk (and thats coming from a big KISS fan). The only reason the programme makers chose Lowestoft is because The Darkness hail from there.

Instead of Channel 4 wasting time with schoolkids who have no concept of what real rock music is about and being "instructed" by a guy with an over-inflated ego, why not find an unsigned fledgling rock band with some actual musical ability and a sense of what rock is about and then have someone like Bruce Dickinson or Rick Wakeman (ie successful British musician) sit with them and nurture the young bands talent.

Oh dear - I have to say I found tonight's episode really bad - utterly cringeworthy!

Deffo enjoyed the first series better!
