Gold stars in Rock Band just means that you got an 'exceptional score'.

It doesn't have to be a perfect 100%, but it's usually gotta be pretty close and you have to use your OD wisely. You can only get gold stars on Expert.

Hope this helps

Gold stars (and stars in general, for that matter) are solely score based. To get gold stars, you need to get roughly 1.52 x 5* cutoff of a song. Depending on the amount of Overdrive in songs, some are easier than others.

Check PeridotWeapon's sticky atop the forum for more info.

I gold-starred Dani California with only 95% completion. So you do have to be well, but if you time your overdrive right, you don't have to FC it.
