Why do you guys mention bands such as AC DC, Van Halen, Ozzy and Kiss on mainstream since they're mainstream already anyways? I thought this thread was about NON MAINSTREAM bands appearing on mainstream shows...

I don't recall the car advertisement featuring Judas Priest, but I remember the Burger King one...it used "You've Got Another Thing Comin'".
A couple of other examples...
There's a Chili's advertisement that uses the intro to "Rock You Like a Hurricane" from Scorpions.
Back when Randy Johnson was pitching for the Diamondbacks, they used to open the home games with Iron Maiden's "Wasted Years." I always thought it was an odd choice from a lyrical standpoint, but oh, well...you won't hear me complaining about hearing Maiden at the ballpark...

Wow, I've never caught the Nightwish Spurs intro but will certainly keep an ear out this NBA season. However, I've caught at least a dozen Spurs games where Dream Theater's Metropolis Pt. 1 is used as their intro. Good call though.

There used to be frequent reports on the Ytsejam of Dream Theater snippets being used at NHL hockey games for 'bumper' music......seemed like it was reported at least once a week for a while. 
Tom Glavine (Mets, ex-Braves pitcher, got shellacked earlier tonight) used to have Rush as his walk-on music for each at-bat in Atlanta, and stated on the radio here that Rush was his all-time favorite band. I think Chipper Jones used "Crazy Train" for a while as his walk-on.....
Oh....the "world's worst bumper music' is used by late-night talk-show host Michael Savage. He uses some 80s metal, but mostly he uses clips from 'Tallica's And Justice For All CD. I think it's kinda refreshing m'self; the above quote is from Neal Boortz.

Whoops!
You're right, it was Desperate Cry. Not sure why I thought it was called Silent Scream.
This summer I went to a couple of the Albuquerque Isotopes (guess where we got our name??? ) baseball games, and they were blasting snipits of metal songs all day. The one I remember the most was Metallica's Sanitarium. I remember cause we were quite the section....standing and loudly singing the chorus everytime they played it.

John Rocker used to come out to "I Wanna Rock" until he opened his mouth and made some stupid bigoted remarks in NY. After that Dee Snider wouldn't allow him to use their song.
Dragonball Z has a movie about trunks that uses several Dream Theater songs (from Metropolis 2000) for it's soundtrack.
Spongebob Squarepants had Pantera do music for the episode where he and Sandy were doing "Extreme" sports.

Speaking of Dee Snider and Twisted Sister, They used "We're not gonna take it" in Iron Eagle 1. That movie is like the 80's crammed into a nutshell. He also had a cameo in PeeWee's Big Adventure. While I think about it there was one Clint Eastwood movie in the 80's Dirty Harry something or other that had Welcome to the Jungle in it, that was before GnR were even popular I think.
Trans-Siberian Outcast said:Can't argue with you there! But if you asked John Madden if he ever listened to Ozzy Obsbourne, you'd probably get a blank stare as he's not even aware that he's been listening to a guy that once decapitated winged mammals with his teeth.
ROFLMAO!!!!

Well, not really so much metal but still awesome. It was mentioned in another thread but In the Court of the Crimson King was used in the movie Children of Men. Awesome movie with a nice soundtrack.
And of course now we have the History Channel commercial featuring some death metal

I remember watching the bold and the beautiful years ago (ok i admit it lol) and some dude had been shot and all ppl involved wouldnt say who it was. Ridge ended up figuring out it was his son Rick. When they went to confront him, they made him out to be all evil and they confronted him in his bedroom where he was blasting Judas Priests Painkiller lol. was very funny stuff.
Noone mentioned Anthrax on Married with Children. I think Motorhead were on the British show 'The Young Ones' too.

SLAYER made its first-ever network television appearance on ABC-TV's "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" last night (Friday, January 19), performing in front of a 1,000 fans on an outdoor stage in Hollywood, California. A BLABBERMOUTH.NET visitor by the name of Michael James Seidenberg has submitted the following report:
* People began lining up for the show at 9:00 a.m.
* Kerry King [guitar] and Tom Araya [vocals] showed up around 4:00 p.m.
* Tom didn't stick around long he went inside with his wife (I think)
* Kerry went into a back alley and hung out with about 20 fans and took pictures and autographs. He was really nice and made sure to stick around long enough so that everyone could meet him and get his autograph.
* The rest of the band showed up around 5:15 and started doing their soundcheck and rehearsal shortly thereafter. It was also about that time that the line began to grow to a few hundred people.
* During soundcheck [the band] treated the fans to full versions of 'Jihad' and 'Eyes of the Insane' (each was played in full with vocals twice and and 'Jihad' was played all instrumental once).
* At around 6:15 they started letting us all in and it took about two hours to get the whole line in, which looped all the way to Hollywood Blvd. (about 5 blocks).
* People who could not get in stayed outside the fence or on the roof of a neighboring parking structure.
* Inside there were well over 1000 people and I would guess about 100 more on the roof and another few hundred standing outside the fence.
* Once the 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!' show started, they had it projected on a screen behind the stage and every time Jimmy said 'Slayer!' the crowd went insane.
* SLAYER came on stage about 8:45 Cali time along with Jimmy, Sarah Silverman, and the two freaks from 'American Idol' (they all watched the show from a couch on the side of the stage).
* The whole crowd (as you could see on TV) was chanting 'SLAYER' for about five minutes before they started playing.
* The set list was:
01. Eyes of the Insane (which was aired)
02. Jihad (which is supposed to be online soon)
03. Mandatory Suicide
04. War Ensemble (without the usual intro)
05. Dead Skin Mask
06. Raining Blood
* After the show people hung out in the back alley waiting to meet the rest of the band, Dave [Lombardo] showed up for about two minutes but no one else did.
* Overall, it was a wonderfully Slaytanic night.

The fairly recent Happy-Madison Production, Grandma's Boy, included a scene with one of the grandmother's crazy room mates signing "Talk Dirty to Me" (Poison). The song actually plays in the background for the majority of that scene, but I guess that song made it into the public eye back in the 80s as well.
