Title: Heavy Metal/Hard Rock in b movies
Post by: count_nefaria on June 13, 2007, 05:27:45 AM
I like a lot heavy metal and hard rock music. Movies like Trick or Treat (featuring Ozzy Osbourne and Gene Simmons from KISS), Hard Rock Zombies, Rock 'n' Roll Nightmare, Death Metal Zombies (i can't find this one)  are very related to this music.
Which more do you know? I think there is a sequel to Rock 'n' Roll nightmare, and a film featuring WASP.

I watched part of the new Rock N Roll Nightmare and even for a bad film it was bad.  It looks like it was shot with a camcorder.

Intercessor: Another Rock 'N' Roll Nightmare

It is from 2005... so i guess it has lost his amazing 80s spirit

Rocktober Blood (1984)

This horror movie begins with rock star Billy Eye (Tray Loren) losing his sanity and killing his colleagues at a recording studio. Billy is tried, found guilty and executed. The woman who testified against him at his murder trial is a successful singer with a group called Rocktober Blood. Two years have gone by, and just when she thinks the horror of the murder case is dead and buried, someone that looks a lot like Billy starts to terrorize her.

The Wraith has a nice heavy metal soundtrack.  Some good Ozzy at the beginning.  Sleepaway Camp part 3 has a good '80s hard rock soundtrack, though I mostly just remember the closing theme as the credits rolled, not sure if there's a lot of music throughout.

If you like metal...then Lamberto Bava's DEMONS is a good movie to see....

No mention of "Wild Zero" yet?

I'd also like to mention "Maximum Overdrive" here.  I still love it that a Coca-Cola machine guns down kids by shooting cans at them.  I am going to work on a review for that movie one of these days.

Argh! How could I forget to mention Wild Zero!? [Snaggletooth] I've got the friggin' Bass Wolf memorial thing on my website even! [/Snaggletooth] Speaking of which, as DodgingGrunge was nice enough to remind me of a few weeks ago, any Guitar Wolf fans looking for more movies featuring the jet rock noise pollution trio should seek out JM McCarthy's The Sore Losers.

As for Maximum Overdrive, to quote Team America, "F*CK YEAH!". With an all AC/DC soundtrack and people being slaughtered by rampaging soda machines, steamrollers and a giant semi with the Green Goblin's face on the grill, how the eff can you not like this movie?!

"We made you! WE MADE YOOOOOU!" :cheers:

First off, I'd like to say welcome Count. Is your name taken from the villain responsible for putting the Wasp in the hospital and blowing up the original Thunderbird on his first mission?

The WASP movie you mentioned is The Dungeonmaster. I've yet to see it myself, and have only heard tales. Apparently their appearance is a short one. Also, I'm surprised nobody's mentioned KISS Meets the Phantom of the Park or Phantom of the Paradise yet! Must see movies for any bad movie lover. :lookingup: heh heh

If you're interested in animated fare, we of course can't forget the midnight movie classic Heavy Metal, based on the underground comic magazine of the same name and featuring the voice of John Candy! Harry Canyon needs a live-action movie... starring Bruce Campbell.  :thumbup:

Right on Anubis! "The Dungeonmaster" IS the (only) film featuring WASP. (I reviewed the flick HERE (http://www.bmoviefilmvault.com/breviews/dungeonmaster.html) a little ways back. Truthfully Anubis, you're not missing much.  :wink: )

Hmmm.... other ROCKIN' b-movies....

There's "Six-String Samurai" with its awesome Russo-Rockabilly soundtrack (all the songs were performed by "The Red Elvises").

There's also "Shock 'Em Dead" about a rocker that sells his soul to the devil for fame and fortune.

"Monster Dog" features a young Alice Cooper, some weird werewolf hijinks, and two rockin' music videos featuring two previously unreleased songs, namely "Identity Crisis" and "See Me in the Mirror."

"Punk Rock Holocaust" is an indie film that was shot during the 2002 Vans Warped Tour. A supernatural, homicidal maniac goes on a rampage and starts hacking up various musical groups and fans alike. It starts out promising, but the massacring gets old halfway through.

You know, this discussion has me recalling a theme I nearly did for my website a few years back: A marathon of movies under a B-MOVIES THAT ROCK banner... maybe I'll go ahead with this idea later this year, hmm........

Rock n Roll High School is a classic but beware the sequel, Rock n Roll High School Forever, starring Corey Feldman.

Strangeland with Twisted Sister's Dee Snider

I have seen Rocktober Blood. So terrible. All the lighting for the film is handled by one 40 watt bulb. Lots of really bad music too, but that unfortunately gets stuck in your head. The movie was written by, directed by, produced by and starred a bunch of relatives of the guy who financed the film, all $500.

Are you guys serious?  We're on the second page and not one person has mentioned Decline of Western Civilization Part 2?

The first Decline is a documentary about the LA Punk scene in the early 80's and it's quite good, the sequel, also quite good is all about the Sunset Strip metal scene around 1987/88.  It features:

Ozzy making breakfast
Chris Holmes of WASP absolutely wasted in his pool while his mother looks on
Gene Simmons in a lingerie store, Paul Stanely surrounded by half undressed girls
Megadeth recording So Far, So Good, So What
London (the band that spawned Nikki Sixx) displaying a shocking ignorance of global politics
Pre Headbanger's Ball Riki Rachtman explains how girls gain entry to his nightclub

For the most part, the bands you've heard of aren't particularly interesting and in some instances, they're flat out excessive and sleazy, but the real stars of the show are the bands that never made it for one reason or another.  Chief among them in Odin, who hope to be bigger than the doors and are quite assured that they will be.  London plays their song, Russian Winter, after many failed attempts to burn a Russian flag. It's a riot.

I really wish they'd put this movie on DVD.  I haven't even seen it on the bootleg circuit.  VH1 played it earlier this year which was the first time I'd seen it since the 80's.

There's a further sequel, but I've never seen it and I don't think it was ever release.  It has something to do with Bay Area peace punks.

Hate to bust your bubble there partner, but unless the band has a starring role in the film, they gave Ghoulies 2 the end title track called Scream Until You Like It

I still have the soundtrack to that movie! I always felt sorry for the band, London. They had so many members come and go, only to find mega-success with other bands, yet they never went anywhere.

Slightly off-topic, but the movie Carnivore (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0251005/ (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0251005/)) has a 'soundtrack' that features only one song from the movie.  All of the other songs on the soundtrack are well known R'n'R songs by established artists, but with a little asterisk next to them.  Below the list of titles it says something like: "* Song does not appear in this film".

The one song that does appear in the movie is by a local (to me) independent band named Slave Driver, whose guitar player/lead singer (Jeff Swan) played the 'Marc' character in the movie.  I actually know Jeff as a friend of a friend, and I saw this movie back in the 1990s because he had a VHS 'preproduction' copy.  The movie is now available on DVD, but don't believe the packaging:  there are NO extras, the movie is full-frame and the sound is (still) terrible.  And the movie sucks (sorry, Jeff!).

P.S.  For anyone in the Chicago area, Jeff also plays guitar in an AC/DC tribute band named Dirty Deeds.  They totally rock.  :cheers:

"Carnivore" is awful.  Really bad.  I mean, definitely a skull rating.  You start wanting to rip your eyes out, just to deny the movie the satisfaction of doing it for you.

Detroit Rock City is a great one. not so much b movie though. Enuff Z'uff has done the soundtrack for multiple b movie. I think they were in Frog-g-g and some Full Moon movies.

Pretty much any Dario Argento movie will have a metal soundtrack.

Oh and DEMONS :D

Yup but between the Goblin score he includes metal songs. Plus a lot of the Goblin stuff sounds pretty hard rock really.

Oh please for god's sake don't let this thread turn into a music sub-sub-sub-genre discussion...

And its sequel, "Heavy Metal 2000." Though, it's mostly a sequel in name only.

It's only Chris Holmes that featured in DOTWCP2:The Metal Years, Blackie Lawless is an extra in "Don't Stop The Muic" (1980) and in "This Is Spinal Tap" (1984) W.A.S.P. appeared in the aforemention "Dungeonmaster" and "Terrorvision", whilst the bands music is featured in "Ghoulies 2", "Dudes" and "Nightmare On Elm Street 5: The Dream Child"

I think "Trick Or Treat" was one of the best, it had cameos from Gene Simmons & Ozzy Osbourne if anyone remembers and the music of Fastway. Fastway did the whole soundtrack which was released as one of their albums in '86. It's excellent!


I also like "Black Roses" which was a sorta zombie/metalhead mash-up, it had music from Lizzy Borden, King Kobra and Masi.  :drink:

It's considered on of the great lost performances of rock n' roll, because no one has ever made it that far into BLOWUP without falling into a deep, comalike sleep.   :wink:
