Soundtrack Q & A
Q: Did Mark Wahlberg sing any of the songs in this movie? (from DAWN in NEW YORK)
A: Walberg lip-synched. The real vocalist (according to a review I read) was "Jeff Scott Soto." (thanks to Anthony, N. Chicago, IL (USA)add more info
A: In a rock-is-life.com interview from winter 2005, Jeff Scott Soto says that "Mike [Matijevic of Steelheart] did the vocals for Mark Wahlberg's voice; I did the vocals for the guy that was the initial singer of Steel Dragon." (thanks to Neal, Missouriadd more info
A: Yes and Mike Matijevic deserves the credit for it too, until this past year no one knew who did the vocals for Mark, and Mike is a singer who should be recognized he is hugely talented and had caught some bad breaks. He is making a come back though. Everyone on this soundtrack that sang should have received credit for their vocals and playing. Mark did a great job in his part but let's give the credit where it is due! (thanks to Joanna, Californiaadd more info
A: According to several interviews Mark says he sang his own songs and that they were dubbed when he was unable to hit a note correctly. These come from Entertainment Tonight interview:
"MS: Now, were you singing?

MW: I sing a lot of it. I sang throughout the whole thing and 
it was up to Steve to use my vocals when it was good and 
if they had to dub any of it. They were certainly more than 
welcome to dub anything."  http://www.markwahlbergfan.com/transcript_et2.htm
And from hollywood.com:
" He's definitely singing. He thinks.
Well, some of it. Which parts, not even Wahlberg knows.

"I'd have to listen [to the singing in the movie] closely. I studied
with the vocal coach for six months, but we also had somebody else 
who sang the songs. But whenever we performed, we performed live, 
so--I'd have to pay attention to [the songs]. If I could hit them 
all [the notes], it would only be my voice."

Q: I would like to know the song/music that plays in the background in the beginning of the movie as Chris Cole is getting ready for the concert. It has no words. I have done extensive internet searches and have not been able to pinpoint what song this is. (from Kdoodle in USA)
A: Probably Trevor Rabin's original score. Write to him with your question through his website, or send an email to tom@nfte.org who hosts his website. (thanks to OSTfan, Burlingameadd more info

Q: What song is the band recording during "The Steel Dragon Thing" scene? Scene starts off with Jeff Pilson playing the lick, but Dominic's character doesn't think it's punchy enough.

It's not on the soundtrack, and I can't find it anywhere. (from jellyfish in Seattle)
A: The song is called "Restless" (thanks to cainfury, Sactownadd more info

A: Sorry to say this dude, but the song is called "Reckless" (thanks to B-Man, montreal, canadaadd more info
