If I wanted to listen to this trash I would download some Ke$ha or turn on KISS FM. This isn’t country, and I can’t stand it when a country radio station plays it. I don’t want to live on this planet anymore.

Disappointing but not surprising news.

I think the rankings have more to do with how many radio “adds” (stations who play it, when and how often they play it) than with sales (individuals who buy it). I knew I was dreaming by hoping this thing was actually too crappy for radio….but is there any such thing nowadays?

Shoulda known that no more critical thought would go into the airplay decision than did the “let’s record this” decision by our two aging would-be rawkers.

The Kenny-Tim Rock Star song debuted at #17 today on the American Country Top 40 Countdown with Kix Brooks. I have no idea how the rankings are determined. I’m sure quality has nothing to do with it. The survey comes out on-line every Saturday morning. The #1 song is Lee Brice’s “A Woman Like You” which entered the top 40 in November.

I didn’t love “Start a Band,” but I’ve generally enjoyed it. In some ways, it seemed to play to Brad and Keith’s strengths, such as by letting them both show their guitar chops. With “Feel Like a Rock Star,” it seems they were just looking for something loud and arena-ready, and it ended up one big mess.

Agreed, Tara, though it’s worse than water because water is at least refreshing.

This song is like water to me. I taste nothing. In some ways it reminds me of “Start a Band,” which by comparison is much stronger.

I agree that a song called “Feel Like a Rock Star” being performed by two men in their mid-forties does feel a tad awkward – Whether it’s a conscious attempt to seem younger I can’t say – but for the most part, I’m with Dan. I wouldn’t have liked this song coming from any artists, young or otherwise.

It’s sad to see two superstars of country music degrade themselves to put out material that is as lackluster as what a lot of the newbies are putting out. Lets get back to “Grown Men Don’t Cry” or “When I Close My Eyes” please.

I don’t care who wants to rock at what age. This material is just agelessly horrible.

I’m with Rowdy Red.

“… two middle aged dudes trying to act 20 isn’t my idea of quality country music.”

Ouch.
