Most helpful review Rock School - The Complete First Series

  • The journey was inspiring & the kids rock!

    Rated - 5.0 stars

    [Highly rated reviewer]

    This series was fun, lively, tongue-in-cheek, but most brilliantly of all it captured the conflicts, pressures, self-empowerments, rebellions & euphoria of adolescence and of people striving (& succeeding) to fulfill their dreams. Fifty-something 'Kiss' Rock Star Gene learned as much from his teenage students, as the students learned from him. This was great fun & inspiring to watch!

    I loved the first series of Rock School! If you liked the School Of Rock with Jack Black, you'll love this. I was totally hooked on this series when it was on tv. Gene Simmons brings Rock School to life. The public boarding school kids are so innocent and because of this are so funny. Gene aims to turn them into little rock gods and this makes addictive watching. Turns out Gene is a natural when it comes to teaching....

    A MUST SEE SERIES!!

    THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS Show review anywayHide

    Think office meets Jack Black in School of Rock. That's what this is. Don't expect 100% quality viewing because it is hard to watch 10 year olds tell us what 'rocking out means my brethren!' But that beeing said it's a good laugh, they achieve a lot and all learn something in a non-moral orientated way. Even Gene learns something from them... humility! Watching him being put down by a kid, priceless. Good show for rock fans, don't really have to be a kiss fan.

  • Rock Goes to Posh School

    Rated - 4.0 stars

    I watched this in the first place for novelty value, but I really really enjoyed it. Gene Simmons has always come across as arogant and money grabbing and yes whilst he probably is both of those things, he seemed to genuinely care about the kids he was working with, so much so that he took them to his LA home. He created a bunch of disparate, but talented, young people into a rock band, who eventually played support for Motorhead. There was something very endearing about both Gene Simmons and the young people. This DVD was a lot of fun and an enjoyable reality TV show, and there are few of them. Great for the Kiss fans and those not familiar with Gene Simmons it is a worthy introduction. I am looking forward to the second series.

    A funny series where Gene is forced to make a group of Private school student learn the true meaning of rock and roll,

    It will make you laugh if you know anything about rock, as the students are musical geniuses, yet don't know how to play a guitar.

    Not bad but some bits are boring, and the band is pretty bad.

    I advise you to rent this out if you want to laugh at people who know nothing about rock 'n' roll
