Welcome to the rollercoaster, people! This fic was inspired by Nickelback's "Rockstar". Thank you all SO much, and a special thanks to HeartfeltDream, my co-author and friend.
Warning: This story will contain heavy drug usage, and some sexual implications. It's M for a reason, people. (Heartfelt did not want any of this, btw)
Let's get started!

I'm
through with standing in line
To clubs I'll never get in
It's
like the bottom of the ninth
And I'm never gonna win
This life
hasn't turned out
Quite the way I want it to be
Naruto's POV
"You know that your band, Stealth, is good," said the record producer, Tsunade. "But being good just isn't good enough these days."
I raised my eyebrows. She caught the look.
"Three guys in a band. Well, that's every other band out there. I think you need a feminine influence. Someone talented. Surely you can find someone."
"We'll hold auditions," said Kakashi, our manager. Gaara nodded silently.
"But say we can't find a girl who's right for Stealth?" asked Sasuke, narrowing his eyes and fiddling with the bottom of his dark, fitted T-shirt.
"Well, I'll see what I can do." Tsunade surveyed us through brown eyes.
So, apparently, we were holding auditions.

Well, most of the auditions sucked, to be honest. We thought we'd never find a good fourth member for our band.
"Sakura Haruno," Gaara read off the list of prospective band members.
A girl with pink hair, a red minidress and torn black tights strode confidently onstage. A black belt with silver studs was looped around her waist. Her black guitar had a sticker of a frozen-looking pink flower on it. In short, she looked the part. But we needed to hear her play.
She plugged in the guitar and walked over to Gaara's keyboard, and I immediately saw him tense up. No one touches Gaara's stuff without a good reason and a death wish, just in case. She began to play a simple melody that sounded vaguely familiar. Then she blasted us with the intro to Breaking Benjamin's "Breakdown". And she blasted it well. Really well. She played a few more measures and then looked up at us.
I said the first thing that came to my mind, which happened to be "Oh, hell yes."
"So I'm in?" she asked.
Gaara nodded. "Kakashi, go ahead and cancel all the other auditions. We found our girl."
Sakura just stood there, grinning like a crazy person, then ran offstage, whooping and hollering.
"She seems like a calm, composed person." said Sasuke sardonically. To which I replied:
"She seems like our ticket to the big time to me."
Hey, hey, I wanna be a rockstar.
