You can stream Rock Star (2001) on Howdy Amazon Channel with a subscription.

A wannabe rock star who fronts a Pennsylvania-based tribute band is devastated when his bandmates kick him out of the group he founded. Things begin to look up for Izzy when he is asked to join Steel Dragon, the heavy metal rockers he had been imitating for so long. This film is loosely based on the true story of the band Judas Priest.

Izzy spent his whole life mimicking the excess of heavy metal legends, only to find himself suddenly living it. This neon-soaked fever dream captures the dizzying, hollow rush of trading a quiet life for a life of permanent backstage access.
