[frontierdriver]

I like the non-equity tour better...

[ChayChay0412]

28 people misses the like button.

[anne123480]

omg i so want to see thise  show and i love thise song

[chsturgill]

I would think that if you were gonna put on a huge production like this and show it on national television as well that you would teach the character who is supposed to be playing the guitar how to actually play a guitar that was half-way believable. He was strumming when there was no guitar in the song. What a joke. I wanted to see this but if the the production is anything like this then I'll not ruin my memories of great music by these pretenders.

[commentnotapproved1]

Milkshakes...???? Shouldn't they have a fist full of coke??

[2013afroman]

@commentnotapproved1 theyre actually slurpies hahahah.

[skydrumz]

[secretsantababe11]

Personally, i prefer rebecca faulkenberry... Is that how u spe

[secretsantababe11]

One of the best shows everrrr

[jessied44]

Tom Cruise confirmed to star in the movie version. Did someone lose their mind?

[BAMCeramicTile]

@jessied44 he's playing stacee jaxx :<

and stacee is my second favorite character so he better not completely blow it.

[amapunker76]

Oh please,they make all these great tunes of the 80s sound so bubble gumish,i want my money back,cause you guys really SUCK!

[borrowedtoe]

@amapunker76 what's "bubble gumish"?

[bazinga174]

love Angel!

[saradagenais]

THATS MY UNCLE :) PAUL SCHOEFFLER

[Broughmo]

Steve Perry is soooooooo hard to imitate....

[lydiababs7]

i wish i could have seen this when wesley was in it but he is amazing in the addams family

[LegalPass]

i saw this and its hilarious.

[SyLaRaDdIcTiOn]

i was watching wesley taylor the entire time. Best person in ROA

[Youcantstopthebeat22]

i love how the women that playes justas is nodding her hed before her part to sing. and when weasly talor has 2 sing, thats soooo high!!!!!!!!!! :P

[willowischaos]

delicious. rock of ages cast is amazing.

[littlelambccece]

I loved this on Broadway!

[ayaazmerali1]

we just saw the Toronto show last night and I must say (no disrespect to this cast) the Toronto cast was way way better. It was as if the songs were being done by the original artists. AMAZING Show! Cant wait to see it again.

[cannsmith]

@ayaazmerali1 I think it's this cast that sucks cause I saw it with Dan Domenech, Rebecca Faulkenberry, and MiG Alaya and they were amazing. Yeah and constantine has always sucked

[oustud10]

I just saw it on broadway this week, and i thought it was phenomenal!

[maudeTheGirl]

Rock Of Ages Rock's :P

[AlyssiaEatsPeople]

LMFAO THE SPANISH BIT! Love it.

[donpazer]

what's with the "MICHIGAN" and pointing at her palm thing all about ??

[Youcantstopthebeat22]

@donpazer not to be mean or anything but i'm just wondering, did you see the play?

[TheJawsOfJared]

constantine is really nice. when i met him at the door. hes just quiet

[TheCellarDoors]

Haha I loved the show but this is so hilariously annoying out of context.

[Fabala13]

i saw the show yesterday! I loved it!! But Constatine was quite a jerk at the stage door...=\

[RandomPersonman]

this kicks glee's ASS!!!!

[Marcoshary]

Great!

[willowischaos]

delicious.

[astpsouth]

In the show the guy has to hide out in Paraguay because he was caught with a minor girl, so they have him sing this part in Spanish. Pretty funny.

[astpsouth]

If you see the show the guy sings in Spanish because he was supposedely hiding out in Paraguay after getting caught with a minor girl. So they have him do that part in Spanish.

[angelxschunard]

I've never seen the musical live, so I have a question: why do they sing part of the song in Spanish?

[emoboi415]

The guy who sings the spanish part's character sings it like that because that IS his character.

[angelxschunard]

So, really, there is no reason at all?

[emoboi415]

Pretty much

[deltanuxkcrp]

@emoboi415 You lied to emoboi415... I saw the show and it's NOT for no reason! Lol

[emoboi415]

@deltanuxkcrp haha I'm sorry. I didn't lie, it was just a lack knowledge :P

[deltanuxkcrp]

@emoboi415 LOL it's okay!! I was joking anyhow! :D

[stigmaweb]

Spanish ..where???

[elphaba1300]

i was there that day

[jackerman2591]

Constantine rockin the Dokken jacket. Nice!

[cassiehaddad]

did savannah wise leave or something, cause i know that kerry butler is playing sherrie now :S

[cassiehaddad]

rock of ages is amazing.

i love james carpinello (stacee jaxx) <3

[KRL2008]

He's my fav too

[Chiggerbwh]

Best musical I have seen! Highly recommend it!

[rosarioboy]

this is one owesome show!!!

[missstellathecat]

While I adore the Glee cast, it's painfully obvious that their voices were digitally remastered. the ROA cast is performing live, eight shows a week.

and, Wesley Taylor is Jesus.

[chocolatesouljah]

@missstellathecat Don't know much about Wes Taylor. I agree about the Glee cast being digitally altered but keep in mind that the auditioned people from Broadway for Glee cuz they wanted triple threats. Some of them have been in the trenches 8x a week just like the ROA cast. I have to say their ability to sing on the edge consistently is amazing.

[Dictionarily]

Two months after you posted this comment, but I have to say, I agree with you. Honestly, he has the best voice out of the bunch in my opinion.

[markcohen6969]

The GLEE version is far better than this.

[linnabean]

radoutcast..I was at that show..I was the girl in the 2nd row that the Narrator was talking to. And the girl with the pinki hair was right behind me. Also. Constantine is wearing more make up now than in the show.

[RadOutcast001]

haha i saw the lady with the pink hair too! i went nov. 8 and she was in the front row xD

[walls06]

i saw this just yesterday (sunday) and the girl with the pink hair was there and i was like 'is that hair necessary?' lol

[catnip12345]

haha i think i went june 26th but she was in the front on the left hand side and they used the lighters the whole time too

[kellymmette]

i also love how all the ensemble girls have to wear leggings in this! probably because their skirts are too short and revealing for the tv and public!

[kellymmette]

Haha, that girl with the pink hair was at the show this past Sunday. She was in the front row and she would take out the ROA lighter for like every song! It was soooooo annoying!

[LochteandPhelpsLover]

yeah! she was annoying when i went to the show and i saw her too! she was like standing up on the side and singing and i was like stop haha

[catnip12345]

thats funny bc when I went to see the show at the end of June the girl with the pink hair was there too.. and she was sitting in t/ front row

[LochteandPhelpsLover]

did u go june 28? cuz thats when i saw her

[LochteandPhelpsLover]

dude ive like seen that girl with the pink hair before. i saw her when i went to go see ROA in June and then i saw her on facebook, and now here.. thats kinda creepy sorry.

[christinem239]

OMG, that is so freaky b/c I saw her there when I to see the show on saturday. I'm not joking.

[LochteandPhelpsLover]

haha i know!

she is like everywheree

[hxcjuliie]

i just went to see it today, and she was there front row. is she like a superfan or something?

[LochteandPhelpsLover]

idk, but its weird though, and kinda annoying...no offence to her or anything.

[TA360]

They need to make a school edition of this. Seriously. :D

[linais2cute]

i love this song so much, but constantine is wearing WAY to much makeup

[Rabbyadam]

it was the 80's...

[muscle25ftl]

Amy I love you! Maroulis is great too!

[wwbuellerd]

Savannah Wise might have a smoother voice than Amy, but I prefer Amy's edginess. And she is a much better actress than Wise.

[bcrocker33]

i love this song! love Journey...

i would have liked to see Will Swenson as Stacee, but it is Hair's gain really. he is amazing!!!

[CubicalGirl]

did they win any og the Tony's they were nominated for?

[Pandybears]

I love this! I love Constantine and Amy Spanger and the rest of the cast! You can just tell how much they're all having! Justice has an amazing voice! Regina and Wesley are too cute and way too talented and awsome for their own good! Wow this is a long comment!

[bcrocker33]

con't...

mind you Amy's character is from a small town, so maybe that's why her hair is not so much like the 80s LA look

[BTSxLove]

Wesley Taylor. <3

[Ponine24601]

Needs more cowbell! :-)

[funnyboy1555]

ah my boy ...wesley taylor

[ilse9191]

this show fails to have big enough hair. which makes me very sad

[bcrocker33]

yeah. amy's hair could actually be 50s. i am not a big fan of hers and people can thumbs down me if they want. this is the best i have heard her, but normally to me she is flat. sorry. this is a great show though!!! the rest of the women's hair too...way too tame.

[NellieForbush]

God Franz is hot

[brennal1979]

Constantine Maroulis had the heaviest make-up job I have ever seen in this video.

[smilefacec115]

i saw this a few days ago. i am in love with Joey primo!!! <3 omgggg! hes hott! and wicked cool! i know hes like the most minor character but i LOVE HIM! <3

[TheaterJunkie122]

I would LOVE to be Sherrie to Constantine's Drew!!!

[wew1llr0ckyou]

I Love How Wesley Only Has One Line in This Song, But Still Completely Schools Everyone else :D

[fueledbyangela]

Oh Wesley Taylor, could you get any more perfect?

[augustgirl]

omg I envy anyone who will or has got to see this. Wow looks like it would be pure heaven to witness this play. I am so jealous.

[BigOldScout]

I saw it last month. I thought it was great.

[TheaterJunkie122]

Honestly, I don't think their butchering anything. If anything, Constantine made "Oh Sherrie" better.

[Libitina72]

seeing this TONIGHT!

[Rosa76]

I wish I could go see Rock Of Ages . I love 80's music !!

[TheaterJunkie122]

In a way, this is what Broadway might need at time like this. Think about what RENT did for Broadway. It was one of the best things in the world and it changed Broadway forever. This, I truly think, is going to do just that. Rock of Ages was built for the old and meant to attract the young. Honestly, these people are talented and more than one has been on many musicals. So, I think this show is going to rock and I wouldn't mind that, after I finish school, this being my first musical.

[makemebad2008]

Who Is That Guy At 2:00?

[KissMeOff]

Wesley Taylor <3

[KurtMisteravich]

Wesley Taylor

[hellohillaryshine]

Wesley Taylor- only the most amazing person in ROA.

[SmileyNathalie]

true that =D

[sokwest]

i second that!!!! HE IS AMAZING!!!!!

[TA360]

Wesley Taylor <3

...he's so cute in that role lol..

[SmileyNathalie]

omg. That's Wesley Taylor.

[xxhii33xx]

wow. this is not a good representation of broadway.

seriously, look at hairspray and the spelling bee. these people would never make it in shows like that.

and, my high school's speech group did this for competition. they did wayyyyyyy better.

[SlayoRB]

i disagree, xxhii33xx. the entire rock of ages cast is simply superb and perfectly suited for this show! they've been in numerous broadway shows including Rent, wedding singer, chicago, les miserables, kiss me kate, sweeney todd, wicked, sweet charity, beauty & the beast, the color purple, 42nd street, the producers, the lion king, damn yankees, a chorus line, xanadu, high school musical... and yes, even Hairspray (jeremy woodard). your high school speech group must have been amazing!!

[xxhii33xx]

I'm just saying, I don't see this show fitting in with the rest of Broadway. I do love the idea for the show, though. It's lovely (I absolutely adore the original songs in this musical).

The speech group is pretty amazing. I didn't compete in the same event they did (i did original oratory), but almost everybody made it to state and even two of our improv-ers made it to all-state! :)

[KitKat652]

the cast is completely aware that it's atypical broadway, they've said it in numerous interviews, it's a fun jukebox musical that's a good time for the cast and the audience, how does that not fit in on broadway? it's not a typical musical, but the cast knows that and it's part of the joke

[mega48man]

@xxhii33xx i dunno man. it's a year later and they were at the tonys. did they win a tony? i think they did. that's not sarcasm, i think they did, but i'm not sure.

your high school speech group must have been outstanding, and on acting steroids to beat this!

[MrJohneybgood]

@mega48man Actually no. ROA was nominated for 5 tonys. It won none

[KurtMisteravich]

Was that Wesley's understudy?

[SoccerGal797]

2:00

[TheIdioticShow365]

doipepe13 or somthing havnt you ever hear of Journey ... CLASSIC ROCK GROUP gosh some ppl do haqve the nerve to post crap about clasic rock songs!

[doippa123]

so they call this rock?... this is pop with sucky singers and crap choreography

[jhniscol]

sigh...this is a broadway musical interpretation not a rock interpretation

[KurtisaRobot]

That was Wesley's understudy?

[murfra]

thanks for posting this--I missed it on the Today show!

[djspotcam2]

Man...I can't wait to see this next time I am NYC!!! I love this new 80's Rock concept brought into the modern era. Constantine nailed Journey REALLY well. I have to agree, those notes are hard to hit. I am one of the few singers who CAN hit the notes...and got a standing ovation at a club on Times Square when I managed to pull it off! But aside from that, I totally and completely respect Constantine who is an AWESOME singer!!!! The right man got the job!

[JIMGOODTHEGREAT]

when does this go on tour? anyone know?

[JIMGOODTHEGREAT]

this musical looks freakin cool i wanna see it

[Spncr313]

i WANT that vest with the feathers on the shoulders, its the sh*t!

[javajen19]

I don't get who all the people singing are supposed to represent in the 80's.

[loveya718]

they are different characters from the musical

[loveya718]

and the musical takes place in the 80s

[jonster00]

wesley taylor is my love :D

[xtlhogciao]

replace the guy t 8:12 with lemmy from motorhead.

that's what they were shooting for right?

[chookiey]

Everyone you can't judge it until you see it live, you don't get the story with a little segment on the Today show. This musical is hilarious and it must be pretty damn good, it's nominated for the best musical ofthe year tony.

[jastully]

i cant wait to see this..wow

[jahdancer93]

seriously one of the best shows on broadway right now. don't judge it until you get to see it. :)

[samtaylorcoll]

GGGGAAAAYYYYYY

[GuitarVato96]

i saw the play the day before it was before on the today show

[amrv28]

We were theeeereeeeeee!!....

[guitarherolvr97]

i saw this play this weekend it was so exciting and fun :-)

[rin3d]

Truthfully if it weren't for my favorite actor being in this show I wouldn't have an interest. I was around when this kind of music was popular, and I wasn't a fan of it then.. so I'll just be patient until he starts something new and maybe I'll get to see it.

[lottastuff09]

glee did it better this sux

[xtlhogciao]

this is the lames thing i have ever seen. it would still be even if ted nugent agreed to make an appearance for the damn yankees part of the segment while wearing the early nineties rickey hendersonesque sunglasses he did in the video.

the guy's stage presence is like a mixture of michael bolton and the singer from manowar.

the woman looks like greg the hammer valentine if he was a transsexual hooker.

their harmonies are out of key too. and what's with the curly haired gay biker?

[chookiey]

I saw it live, don't judge it until you see it. I doubt you could get up on stage and do it.

[xtlhogciao]

the girl actually did a decent job. i'll admit that.

the guy has a decent voice, but he totally fails at reaching the pitches steve perry does. they should bring it down a key i'll admit it's hard to reach perry's range, but the guitar part is the lamest thing i've ever seen. ever.

around 50 seconds. his fingers don't even move and to make up for it, he makes an ass out of himself.

it's surreal.

[chookiey]

I'll admit constantine isn't the greatest. When i saw it on broadway i saw his understudy and he was fantastic he hit every single note...he was amazing. i even told him i like him more than constantine. on broadway they have a live band that plays the music so it seeems like the guitar guy is playing

[JIMGOODTHEGREAT]

ive tried reachin perry's pitch. holy shit its a pain in the ass. i turned it to screamo instead. kinda cool.

[SolidGold1980]

wow all my favorite songs ruined in one video

[everhip]

Love this show!

[commonmanx]

on the dumb-o-meter i give it a 10 out of 10. or subtitled "the lost hippies of planet stoned".

[petalsonscarecrows]

Amazing show. It's a shame they don't do television appearances too well.

[tinamarielovestosing]

This show was amazing.... SO MUCH FUN!

[holbridan]

This is a must see show! They completely rock the house! They are all talented, but Constantine shines like the star he is! Contgrats to the whole cast on being nominated, you all deserve it!

[heymikedude1]

what the shit just happened?

[LittleDrummerBoy83]

thought this was Def Leppard-Rock of Ages...wish i didn't click on it

[oddjobdrummer]

That's the worst fucking thing I've ever seen. Can I get my 35 seconds back?

[shanerizzal]

I wanna try and like this show but I just can't. Does it seem a little cheesy to anybody else? I just don't get it...

=/

[jsmith2470]

Wow, that's awful, way to fuck up Journey.

[jgamble7]

i'm holding on and on and on and on...

[liangel51]

I saw this twice when it was Off Broadway. It was hysterical and so much fun, great singing too. Constantine was awesome, hope he wins the Tony.

[bananabasket]

HAH

[liangel51]

what do you mean by HAH?

[bettygirl212]

thanks for posting.. connie(constantine) is fantastic

[Screengems1]

beautiful!!! Const is amazing!!! I hope everyone gets a chance to go to the show! :) Hes come such a long way. Im so proud of him.

[maliview]

Go Angel!!!!!!!!!!!!!
