Character Role Analysis

Russell Hammond/Jeff Bebe

Russell Hammond and Jeff Bebe maybe be brothers-in-arms in Stillwater, but they sure have their share of disagreements. Russell, the enigmatic guitarist, is the real talent and he knows it; meanwhile, Jeff, the ostentatious lead singer, is tired of playing second fiddle. They are polar opposites in personality, playing style, attitude, and even fashion.

Russell is understated in everything he does, but his effortless charisma and magnetism are undeniable; Jeff is much showier, trying desperately to attract attention and take back the spotlight. Russell's narcissism and Jeff's jealousy nearly destroy the band, as both musicians lose touch with their mutual love for rock and roll. Fortunately, they are able to rediscover this love and pull through in the end.
