I love this movie...I lived in Toronto during the mid to late 80's and this movie is a mirror to what what going on there at the time... the height of spandex, large hair, hair extensions, neon colored pointy guitars and all of that....good times. My friends liked to hang at a club called "Rock And Roll Heaven", the premier place for all that was leather, studs, and hair at the time. When I watch "Rockstar" that club, and those times, are all I can think about....the memories come crashing back...
I'd hang out there long enough to have a few drinks until I felt like 'cleansing' myself at The Gasworks, a club and scene I liked a lot better....more gritty, down to earth, and better bands IMO.
