[edit] Stick it to the man

Readers might think the main purpose is to "score chicks" or "get wasted." Dewey corrects these misperceptions as the true purpose is to "stick it to the man" because "one great rock show can change the world."

[edit] ??

Actually the film is School Of Rock! The "The" was originally in the title, but it got dropped. But, it ended up in the opening credits with the neon sign.

[edit] Spolier/plot warning?

Does this article need a spoiler/plot warning?

I don't know... it only gives away the bare essentials... like a movie review.

[edit] WRONG!!!! WRONG!!!! AUGH!!!!!!!!

Did somebody make changes to this article without seeing the movie? The girl who helps Jack Black with the band is the MANAGER, not the BACK-UP SINGER. There were three back-ups.

Be bold, make the changes yourself. also she is seen singing back up during the encore.

[edit] Anybody noticed?

I love the part where Jack Black is teaching the kids how to play and showing those diagrams and movies and stuff. (You know that part; they play "My Brain is Hanging Upside-down (Bonzo Goes to Bitburg)" by the Ramones in the background.) If you noticed, the first musician that he shows on the videos is Pete Townshend; the last one is Keith Moon. Don't tell me otherwise! I'm a major fan and can easily discern any of them!

[edit] AC/DC

It should be noted that Jack Black's charachter shares several simmilarities with Angus Young of AC/DC.

Whats the deal with kyle not having hands?

[edit] POV?

Under trivia: "When the kids point out that they are influenced by crappy mainstream music,"

I'm going to get rid of the crappy, true as it may be.

[edit] Caption: "(BEN)"?!

Someone put "(BEN)" in the caption. I have no idea to what this refers so I'm taking it out. ----HughL ^[talk?]/_[contribs] •  11:07, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

Likely just a vandal tagging a page with his name. Don't lose sleep over it.

[edit] Dewey shows the kids: The Beatles? ...and The White Stripes.

How did Dewey introduce them to The Beatles (as it says in the article)? Or is this just a mere example? I'm a pretty big fan and the only reference to the Fab Four that I saw was a sticker inside Dewey's van.

Also, I was very surprised at the mention of White Stripes. I'm a huge fan of them, too, and I thought it was so cool that Katie stood up for Meg. Jack White always says that people, when they see her drum, think she has no talent, but that's not what the music's about.

Kaite is really cute! I love her!!!!!!

I saw the movie, amazing movie.

[edit] a question to ask...

hey does anybody know what song jack black was singing just before two girls came up to him and suggested "the school of rock" as the band name?

---

check IMDB.com's trivia section. the song is called "Computerman"

[edit] The bass solo

# Katie is the only band member who does not get a solo during the end credits. Though one was filmed, it wasn't shown in the movie (all the singers, Zack, Lawrence, and Freddy got solos.)

Is there any possibility of hearing this bass solo? I have the DVD, but I couldn't find something like "Deleted Scenes" or something. I'm a bassist myself and therefore very interested in bass solos. --DocBrown 14:16, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] song?

hey guys theres a song right at the end when they get their encore it starts off 'riding on the highyway...' what is that song? help much appreciated —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 62.136.156.128 (talk) 10:59, 9 December 2006 (UTC).

The song is "Its It's a Long Way to the Top (If You Wanna Rock 'n' Roll)". Now here's my question. In the end when they play this song, they have a keyboard solo. I know that the kid borrows the keyboard solo from something I've heard before. I'm thinking that it is borrowed from an early Genesis song, perhaps "Supper's Ready". Anyone know?

No idea, the only thing i do know is that it didn't fit in with the song at all. :|

[edit] trivia

I deleted some info from the trivia section because some of it just said obvious things or things that really had no significance to the film. hope nobody minds.
