Old School bands in in movies.

[TRrEiTxIxRiE DTrash]

There is also a movie called State Park in which Ted Nugent plays, and the band in that movie looks like Shout-era Motley. In fact one of them's costume is an exact 1983 Nikki Sixx replica costume right down to the makeup HAHA!

MALICE were on a movie (i dont remember the movie's title) with the classic theme about the child changing bodies with the parent.

I think Nugent is great, but you must have the ability to stomach his kind of humor & ideals...

-----------------------------

Well yeah, he's a great musician - no doubt about it. But there are many great bands and musicians with f****d up ideals and views. But it has something to do with that NRA crap and the "God bless america" attitude that makes me vomit. I hope this isn't turning in to a Nuge-thread now haha

Sebastian Bach was in Gilmore Girls... I only taped that episode cuz of him... otherwise I don't watch that show.

He was in a band full of high school kids but cuz he was older they had to reconsider having him in the band... and when they finally said yes he went up to his wife and kids and he's like... "Honey... kids!!! I'm in the band!" It was kickass.

 

[Sgt_D]

I must admit that I watch that crappy show every now and then because of their unrealistic scripts. It's like "dawson's creek". You keep asking yourself "Does anybody buy this shit? Why am I watching it? It's CRAP!". But I don't change the channel.

I think I need therapy.......

Without reading above, I can distinguish bands actually playing in the movie, and movies with metal songs in the soundtrack, plus movies about rock/metal bands real or imaginary.

In the first case I can remember:

Armored Saint - "Hellraiser III: Hell On Earth"
Cannibal Corpse - "Ace Ventura"
Kiss - "Kiss vrs The Park Phantom" (or some crap like that).
Lemmy - "Airheads" (appearing not playing)
Alice Cooper - "Prince Of Darkness" (appearing not playing)

In the second case (wow, let's see):

"Bad Boys" (1983): Iron Maiden - 'Prodigal Son'
"Airheads" (1994): Motorhead - 'Born to Raise Hell' (can't remember the rest)
"The Frighteners" (1996): '(don't fear) The Reaper (cover not by BOC)
"Interview With The Vampire" (1994): 'Sympathy For The Devil' (cover not Rolling Stones)
'Detroit Rock City' - (1999): AC/DC, KISS, others.
"Prince Of Darkness" (1987): Alice Cooper - 'Prince Of Darkness'
"Wayne's World" (1992) - various (I hate Mike Myers so i didn't see the movie)
"Bill & Ted Bogus Journey" (1991) : score by Steve Vai (according to Steve)
"Twister" (1996): Deep Purple - 'Smoke On The Water' (but the video shown is Rainbow live )
"Almost Famous" (2000): Black Sabbath - 'Sweet Leaf'
"Last Action Hero" (1993): AC/DC, Queensryche, Tesla, Aerosmith, Megadeth, Def Leppard, others.
"Heavy Metal" (1981): Black Sabbath - 'Mob Rules', Blue Oyster Cult - 'Veteran Of The Psychic Wars', Nazareth - 'Crazy? (a suitable case for treatment)', Cheap Trick - 'Reach Out', Grand Funk Railroad - 'Queen Bee', Sammy Haggar, Journey, others.

For the last case:
"Almost Famous" (2000)
"Still Crazy" (1998)
"Velvet Goldmine" (1998)
"The Decline of Western Civilization Part II: The Metal Years" (1988)

My brain is numb, next please...

Lemmy also appears at the end of Terror Firmer making a public service announcement about hermaphrodites which is acted out by Trey Parker & Matt Stone.

Powermad was in an old Nicolas Cage movie called "Wild at Heart." It was before Nick really took off and was really more of a "B" movie.

Crossroads featured Steve Vai also. I just remembered when I saw Wyvern's post.

Just scanned the tread if Crossroads was mentioned yet. Nope

I, like Sgt D, also watch this show from time to time. Bach was in 4 or 5 of episodes, he just kinda pops up ever now and again.

GREAT MOVIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am surprised anyone knows it. I am not a movie person. I came accross it because of the Powermad cameo.

I've not seen it since it first came out, didn't even remember Powermad being in it, but I found a copt of it on VHS a few months back. I've not watched it yet, kinda saving it for the right time.... if that makes any sense.

 

[The Law]

Anyone remember wich season of Gilmore Girls Sebastian Bach was in? Maybe even wich episodes?

 

[~metal_maiden~]

Anyone ever see "Little Nicky"? That movie was quite metal... Ozzy was in it, as well... he was basically the secret weapon used to save the world from demons.

 

[Sinner Rider]

What about a movie called "The River's Edge"?? Anyone heard of that? A movie made in the 80's! Good Flick!

But was there any metalband in it? Or any metal kind of person of any kind?

 

[The saYer]

have you heard of a movie called green river, supposedly it has a lot of oldschool slayer.

Lets not forget the transformers movie soundtrack.

 

[Doom Wizard]

Lee Ving from Fear also played Mr. Body in the classic WHODUNNIT "Clue".
