Episodes

Week One

Performance episode: All 15 contestants performed cover songs. They were judged by Dave Navarro, Tommy Lee, Jason Newsted, Gilby Clarke, and the album's producer Butch Walker.

Elimination episode: Phil, Chris, and Matt were placed in the bottom three based on votes from around the world. They each performed one cover song of their choosing and, based on that and their previous performance, Matt was chosen by the band to be eliminated. Supernova claimed that Matt's elimination was based on his song choice.

Week Two

Performance episode: The 14 contestants again performed cover songs. Their judges were the same, with the exception of the album's producer Butch Walker, who was absent.

Elimination episode: Zayra, Jill, and Chris found themselves in the bottom three based on the worldwide vote, while Jenny was singled out as the only other contestant to have at some point belonged to the bottom three. Each one performed the cover song of their choice and based on that performance as well as their previous performances the band chose Chris to be eliminated. Supernova pointed out the fact that Chris was in the bottom three two weeks in row and cited that as a reason as to why he was eliminated.
