The Rocker: Music from the Motion Picture is a soundtrack album from the 2008 film The Rocker starring Rainn Wilson, Christina Applegate, Teddy Geiger, Josh Gad, Emma Stone, and Jane Lynch. The music was mainly composed and performed by musician and producer Chad Fischer, also known as frontman of the band Lazlo Bane.
The official soundtrack for the film features all original songs performed by the fictional bands A.D.D. and Vesuvius. While A.D.D. also performed two covers in the film: "Nothin' But a Good Time", originally by Americаn glam metal band Poison, and "In Your Eyes", originally by British musician Peter Gabriel, only the first was included in the soundtrack.
Tracks credited to Teddy Geiger were recorded mostly by Chad Fischer with Geiger providing only lead vocals. The exception is a cover of "Nothin' But a Good Time", on which Teddy Geiger plays additional guitar. Track two "Bitter" and track nine "I'm So Bitter" are two versions of the same song with different arrangement and slightly different lyrics.
The actual vocals on Vesuvius songs are provided by Keith England. The song "Pompeii Nights" is a rerecording of The Rage song "Dirty Old Man" with different lyrics. The original was released on the album Big Spill. "Promised Land" is a new song recorded for the film by Chad Fischer and fellow Lazlo Bane member Tim Bright.
