one day, chris receives an unexpected phone call from steel dragon's founder and rhythm guitarist, kirk cuddy (dominic west), and is offered an audition for the band (thanks to two of blood pollution's groupies, who showed kirk a videotape of one of blood pollution's concerts). after hanging up on kirk once, thinking he's being pranked by rob, chris ecstatically agrees. at the studio, he meets the band and gives an outstanding performance of "we all die young" (a steel dragon song in the movie, but it is actually a song by steelheart, whose lead vocalist, miljenko matijevic, provides cole's singing voice for the film). chris joins the band as their new singer, adopting the stage name "izzy". following a successful debut concert with steel dragon, izzy must come to grips with the pressures of his new-found fame and success. the band embarks on a lengthy tour and izzy experiences the excesses of the lifestyle, with the group's road manager, mats (timothy spall), serving as a sympathetic mentor to izzy.
