Steel dragon - we all die young

Steel Dragon originated from the movie "Rockstar"

Guitarwork for the band was by Zakk Wylde, drums by Jason Bonham, and bass guitar by Jeff Pilson. The lead singers were Jeff Scott Soto and high pitched Michael Matijevic from hair/ metal band Steelheart on "We All Die Young"…

Steel Dragon is the name of a fictitious heavy metal band featuring real musicians, created to appear in the Warner Bros movie Rock Star (2001), inclusively being responsible for the movie's original soundtrack. The members, especially the lead singers, had an over the top look and attitude similar to those seen in some famous hair bands of the 80s.

Rock Star is a 2001 American musicalcomedy-drama film directed by Stephen Herek, written by John Stockwell, and starring Mark Wahlberg and Jennifer Aniston. It tells the story of Chris "Izzy" Cole, a tribute band singer who ascends to the position of lead vocalist in his favorite band.

The script was inspired by the real-life story of Tim "Ripper" Owens, a singer in a Judas Priest tribute band who was chosen to replace singer Rob Halford when he temporarily left the band. After optioning the filming rights to a New York Times profile of Owens by Andrew Revkin, Warner Bros. hired Stockwell to write the script. Brad Pitt was initially signed to play the lead role, but left due to creative differences, and Wahlberg was eventually hired for the part.

Rock Star garnered mixed reviews from critics, and was a box office failure, grossing $19 million worldwide against a production budget of $57 million.
