the Soundtrack

Produced by Grammy Award-winning Phil Nicolo (Lauryn Hill, The Roots, Train), the soundtrack to Rock School takes a unique approach by featuring the actual students that appeared in the film re-recording hits alongside legends like Alice Cooper, Deep Purple's Ian Gillan, Yes' Jon Anderson, The Police's Stewart Copeland, The Ramones' Marky Ramone, Heart's Ann Wilson, Megadeth's Dave Mustaine, and Billy Idol.

Following is a listing of the songs on the Rock School Original Motion Picture Soundtrack. These songs are absolutely perfect from a technical standpoint. The students nail every song note for note. However, I'm not sure that the choice to try to match the original so closely was a good idea. I would have like for them to add their own "flair" to the songs.

1. Black Magic Woman W/ Gregg Rolie
2. I Want To Be Sedated W/ Marky Ramone And Tyson Ritter
3. School's Out W/ Alice Cooper
4. Barracuda W/ Ann Wilson
5. Highway Star W/ Ian Gillan
6. LA Woman
7. Heart Of The Sunrise W/ Jon Anderson
8. Rebel Yell W/ Billy Idol
9. Don't Stand So Close To Me W/ Stewart Copeland
10. Iron Man
11. Peace Sells W/ Dave Mustaine
12. Hocus Pocus

Here's what Ian Gillian of Deep Purple had to say about lending his talents to the project:
"When the producers asked me to be a part of Rock School, I said okay and asked them to send me a track of the kids performing our song. What I heard was a bunch of kids giving it 100%, and it sounded great. It was good fun," said Ian Gillan of Deep Purple who performs the band's hit "Highway Star" on the soundtrack.
