The Jeff Healey Band was great in Roadhouse. The clips I’ve seen of the new movie had nothing to match that.
I enjoyed Sam Elliott’s performance in Roadhouse, too.
Actually, I thought it was a wise choice to not have a specific house band through the whole movie. Someone with brains realized that trying to replicate that for the movie would be a big fail, so they just used an assortment of bands that fit the locale. I also liked how they went over the top with the bad guys. It kept to the camp bad guys in the original. If it would have been too slick with the action, it wouldn’t have any of the flavor of the original. Still not as good, but a worthy effort. At least they didn’t try and make it an insulting remake that pokes fun of the era of the original, like the 21 jump Street reboot or Starsky and Hutch.
