Review: School of Rock Soundtrack

RockRage Online: School of Rock Soundtrack

The compilation is like a quick lesson in old school rock as you cover such classic favorites as “Sunshine of Your Love” by Cream, Stevie Nicks’ “Edge of Seventeen,” and Led Zeppelin’s “Immigrant Song,” plus T-Rex, The Doors, and The Who to round out a very rocking classic rock vibe.

I've got “Sunshine of Your Love” on a 45.

Can't play it though, since I sold my turntable at a yard sale.

'The School of Rock' Is Sweet and Fun

AP Wire | BEN NUCKOLS: 'The School of Rock' Is Sweet and Fun

If ever a movie deserved to be a colossal, demographic-busting hit, it's "The School of Rock," a nearly miraculous comedy about a fifth-grade rock band with just the right mix of structure and spontaneity, sweetness and subversion.

Jack Black: Don't Do Drugs

If you're doing drugs, it's kind of a drag. You're a slave. It's kind of a weak thing to do.

Do Rock and Roll instead!

Meanwhile, the band can be heard on the title track to the new Jack Black flick, "School of Rock." The majestic rock anthem was a collaboration between the band and the movie's screenwriter, Mike White ("The Good Girl"). "They sent us the screenplay and a sheet of lyrics Mike White had written and I switched around all his grammar so that it was incorrect," said James, who called the opportunity to work with "Dazed and Confused" director Richard Linklater a "fantasy," akin to writing the end credits song to "Revenge of the Nerds."

Incorrect grammar.

Ha Ha.

CNS Movie Review: School of Rock

Catholic News Service Movie Review: School of Rock.

Despite some humorous riffs, the film's upbeat and amped-up message about pursuing one's dreams... is undermined by a problematic bass rhythm that pokes fun at parental authority and the value of any subject that can't be learned on an electric guitar.

Nice review!

"Mike wrote it in my voice," Black says. "The script was a Ferrari that pulled into my driveway. I sat in it and said, 'I can't believe I'm going to drive this.' The seats were leather, but I was hoping for crushed velvet, and Mike changed it just for me. Tiny, minuscule tinkering. Then I took it on the road and noticed there was a turbo button that released the nitro. OK, I've taken this metaphor too far."

That's Jack Black talking about Mike White, writer and co-star of School of Rock.
