Lord Of The Rings Soundtrack

[ATHALLUS]

If you had to pick a Power Metal band to do the music for the film (besides Blind Guardian) who would it be? This is just a hypothetical question. Too bad Power Metal wasn't used!!!!!!

 

[Blessed Night Child]

Therion would do a excellent job, I believe.

 

[ATHALLUS]

Interesting choice. I think their sound would have definetly fit the film's epic feel.

 

[WeekendWarrior]

rhapsody of course!
they were actually going to release a album based upon the book, but there was some problems of copyright...

 

[ATHALLUS]

I bet that would have been an awesome album dude!!!!!!! Too bad things didn't work out.

 

[Blessed Night Child]

Yes, good choice WW.

 

[Symphony]

I reckon Thomas Youngblood and the Kamelot guys would be an interesting choice for the movie. Not as orchestral as Rhapsody, Blind Guardian etc but equally evocative!

 

[ATHALLUS]

Good choice. I like Kamelot as well myself. I personally think Therion or Nightwish, but it's interesting to see what others would think. This is fun chatting with such cool and intelligent people.

 

[WeekendWarrior]

hehe. it sure is!
yep, nightwish could be a good choice. tuomas is a great musician with great talents, and he wants to do moviemusic or soundtracks, so nightwish could be a good choice.
btw: some finnish movie director has offered him a job as a music composer for a finnish movie which will come out in 2004 or something.

 

[ATHALLUS]

Now that is cool. I would like to hear what he would come up with depending on the film's genre.

 

[Symphony]

Agreed...Tuomas and Nightwish would certainly produce some interesting results...a movie with a gothic edge to it perhaps

On the subject of intelligent conversation......it's great to be able to talk about metal and stuff without being invaded by 12 year olds!

Nice one!

 

[ATHALLUS]

Hahahaha!!!!!
True, about the twelve year olds.
I have always wanted Nightwish to do the soundtrack to a medieval gothic novel of mine entitled, "Moonwarriors" if it EVER got made into a film, and if I could get the darn book publised!!! Maybe even PQ!!!!

 

[Blessed Night Child]

Yes.....intelligent converstaion about metal. OK....here comes the 12yo question... Ready..... Who is Tuomas?

 

[WeekendWarrior]

the keyboardist and the brain behind nightwish

 

[ATHALLUS]

Nightwish's keyboardist silly

 

[Blessed Night Child]

That was who I thought but I had to make sure.

 

[ATHALLUS]

It's cool.
