Supernova goes Platinum in Canada

The concert was great on Wednesday night and here are some highlights!!

Rockstar Supernova went platinum in Canada and the guys from BMG were there to hand out the records

Dilana opened the show and was amazing!!! Everyone sounded just they way they did on the TV show which was nice. I was torn between Dilana and Lukas as the winner so it was great to see her there!! She also had her guitarist from L.A. with her.

Toby Rand was also there which pleased the ladies in the crowd! I was never really a huge fan of Toby's but his band Juke Kartel (from Australia) sounded great. Crowd at the front of the stage and screaming ensued... I did like the comment that Lukas made "You think Canadians can drink, try drinking with an Aussie" or something to that avail!

The ladies love Dave Navarro and Dave loves the ladies!!!!!!!! I did enjoy Dave very much as well!!!

People on the floor level were encouraged by the bands to rush the stage... which made it easier for Dave to lean over and plant one on some lucky girl!! Dave also lifted a young girl up onto the stage who could not have been more than seven!! Very cute!

Dave is physically sexier than Tommy- I thought it might be close but Dave won! Also surprised that Dave is so buff, Tommy is just very tall and thin. Both have charisma though!!

I was blinded by the lights catching Dave's right nipple ring!!!!

Was pretty sure that Tommy's boardshorts were going to fall off at some point... then he would only be wearing a tie!!!! Tommy was full of charm and personality and the screams were deafening everytime he got up from behind his drum kit!!!

Who knew Tommy could also play the keyboard?

Screaming for what seemed like forever ( was probably about 2 minutes) when Tommy introduced Lukas Rossi back to his hometown crowd!!!! He said on ET Canada that that was a point where it was very hard not to cry... I was surprised that he didn't.

I was happy to hear him refer to his old job at Hooters that he still had in Toronto a year ago. Good publicity, ha,ha!

A female quartet was brought in for their rendition of The Verve's "Bittersweet Symphony" and also an original "Can't bring myself to light this fuse"

Could not see Johnny Colt very much but he sounded great.

Gilby Clark was great and has a set of guns on him!!!

Tickertape!!!!!!!!!!! I have always wanted to see tickertape fall live!!!! Cheesy I know, but I have watched too many american parades on tv!!!!

Tommy threw a drumstick that was caught by someone in the first row of the top level! Our level but too far over...

Strange audience... People aged 7 to 60? I am used to a loud ACC crowd and this was not it. At one point Tommy gave the crowd hell for sitting down. And Lukas was like " We can see you!" You sort of had to stand as the seats were very small and you could not sit with you legs in front of you. they had to be out to the side if you have legs like me.

No booze... Maybe that was the problem. You were not allowed drinks up in the stands and the bar was jammed at intermission. I am used to drinking $9- beers at a concert!!

Overall, great venue though, you feel very close to the stage from any seat and the sound was awesome!!!!!!


Great night!!! Great concert!!! Lots of fun!!!

Tommy Lee does Toronto!! ( Via Supernova)


Tonight we are going to see Rockstar Supernova ( http://rockstar.msn.com/) here in Toronto at Massey Hall http://www.toronto.com/arts/listing/000-100-075 ! We bought the tickets way back in the summer before they even announced the winner but we were sure Lukas Rossi was a shoe in! Dilana would have worked for us too. The venue holds less than 3000 people so it is quite intimate for a concert.
The Panic Channel will also be there and I am looking forward to seeing Dave Navarro!! There is so much music history between these guys... Nirvana, Jane's Addiction, Motley Crue, Gun's and Rose's, Metallica...
We will miss Jason Newsted who will be replaced by Johnny Colt from The Black Crowes. Here's to a quick recovery Jason!
Should be a pretty emotional show for Lukas as Toronto is his hometown... will tell you all about it in the morning!!!
