Who else loved this movie? |

This guy did. The South Park parody episode was great. |

Yes, I mean the soundtrack...I had the album but its been gone for some time now...lots of good music on that CD... Quoted:
Quoted:
I loved it...still have the CD around too, it has not aged well though...pretty hard to watch IMO today. The CD? Do you mean the soundtrack? If that's the case and it's the original soundtrack you're talking about, I recall someone mentioning that the soundtrack that was released with the movie back in the early 80's is really rare and worth a bit. Seem to recall them releasing a few soundtracks and then getting sued for extra profits by the record labels that owned the copyrights to the songs, wanting more money. Didn't get settled until the 90's or 2000, when they re-released a soundtrack. |

Pretty sure the original soundtrack release in, oh, '80 or thereabouts, wasn't on a CD.

It was a good movie. I remember that when it came out the local rock stations were still live and took requests for songs. They actually had to stop taking requests for the theme song for that movie because they were getting so many requests.
Its funny the stuff you remember after all these years. |
|
My favorite soundtrack from that era...I mean, those were all TOP rated bands at the time it came out...I haven't seen a soundtrack since that was filled with as much gold.
It's a bit dated now, but some of the stuff on that soundtrack blows me away...Both versions of Heavy Metal (Don Felder's, especially), BOC's "Veteran of a Thousand Psychic Wars"––how awesome a song is that? The lonesome, fantasy-inducing voice of Stevie Nicks singing about that Blue Lamp...Great stuff! |
Don Felder....it was a great time to be alive....I miss it. Quoted:

http://www.moviehole.net/201143311-comic-con-2011-rodriguez-announces-machete-sin-city-sequels-remaking-heavy-metal In terms of original (well, kinda; it’s a remake) projects, Rodriguez now has the rights to "Heavy Metal” and is currently collaborating with the magazine’s owner Kevin Eastman on the feature. Says the filmmaker, "I recently acquired the rights to Heavy Metal to make a large-scale media project and an animated film. I’ve always been a fan of Heavy Metal and Heavy Metal magazine. I think one of the ideas I always believed in, is international artists coming together to show their best work. And when I ask other fans what they think, they all want to work on it. So I thought it would be really cool if everyone got the chance. So what I’m doing with this website is having you submit ideas for stories, characters, or worlds that we can use in these projects or in the animated film. In any which way you can put together: written out, drawn, maybe even shot. You know, the more you can do to get the idea across, the better because I’d really like to make this a collaborative effort. Some of the stories we’re working on already, but I’m leaving a slot open for the audience who has been so good to Heavy Metal and who has always believed in Heavy Metal and what it could be. And i think it would be great if we all participated together and made this the best version of Heavy Metal that ever existed. So I hope you can join us for…Heavy Metal.” It isn't mentioned that James Cameron was attached to do a segment and he's pushing the whole thing to be 3d. Who knows. |

Journey's song 'Open Arms' was on there too....Veteran of the psychic wars is a classic....you NEVER hear it on the moldy oldies stations though...

....Veteran of the psychic wars is a classic....you NEVER hear it on the moldy oldies stations though... I think that decade where the album was out of production really hurt peoples awareness of it. Those of us who had the vinyl version still remembered it, but I have to think that whoever did up station playlists after the switch to digital simply had a collective brain dump on stuff that didn't make the switch to digital within a couple years of stations dumping vinyl. |

Quoted:
A plausible theory....lots of really good music has fallen through the cracks...I would love to own my own FM station and play everything I remember and still own from the late 70's and early 80's, even the late 90's yielded some good pop/rock music.

I liked watching that film, don't know if I'd really be interested in sitting through it again though. Hearing the soundtrack from that movie on the radio must have been so awesome.. I hate my generation! I can't even listen to the radio..... well except for satellite radio, the boneyard is a good station, all old classic rock and they play "heavy metal" by sammy hagar every 15 minutes.. other than that.. every radio station around here plays nothing but rap auto-tuned garbage!

...I would love to own my own FM station and play everything I remember and still own from the late 70's and early 80's, even the late 90's yielded some good pop/rock music. I've sort of been treating my Ipod that way lately. I've actually been adding more stuff from the late 60s through 1980-ish than any other time period. I started surfing through the various on-line lists of top songs from every year and realized how much stuff I didn't have in my library. Kind of freaky how you forget about songs that you haven't heard in a while. I also sometimes think I'd also like to own an FM radio station and throw any concept of "format" out the window and just play whatever I liked, but those of us who grew up with rock are considered dinosaur baby boomers. My likes would probably automatically be labeled a classic rock format, even though my tatstes are much wider than that. The local radio stations when I was growing up played everything from the 50s to the 70s, a much wider variety of tunes than any single "format" they stick to today. The reality is that satelite radio has killed FM. There was a thread the other day asking how many people still listen to FM radio. It wasn't very many out of the total who posted. |

I have always thought that not everyone who is young can like that shit that passes for music now...I am glad I grew up when I did, music kept me from killing myself when I was a teen...if I had to listen to todays music when I was a teen I most likely would not be here. There's a TON of great music out there from the 50's right up to the late 90's....I hope you can find it.

There are still are large portion of younger people who listen to FM radio.. because they prefer the pop and rap music that is played on it around here to anything that would be found on satellite. I've never met a girl around here who liked anything but rap or pop, so they all listen to 105.1 FM.. or "HOT 97" they are the "urban" stations

I am a big 70s-80s fan.. particularly hard rock and metal. I do not really listen to anything post 1990 besides some pantera stuff. Sirius XM's boneyard station is great.. nothing but BOC, van halen, metallica, sammy hagar, molly hatchet, rush, black sabbath, WASP, etc etc.. 70s and 80s hardrock and metal  the shit that passes for "music" now is nothing more than electronic noise with some slut talking through a voice modification effect about her butt or how much she drinks at the club... it really is disgusting to be honest. dont even get me started on rap "music"

True, I listen to moldy oldies FM stations at work, tapes in the garage at home, CD's in my home office....I hear ya on the format thing...I remember when Ronnie Milsap, Kenny Rogers and Juice Newton all were placing top 40 hits on the pop charts....I need my own radio station...I think people would like it. So much good music from the past just never gets played anymore but we hear Led Zeps 'rock and roll' the eagles hotel california and so on over and over again....

The guy I work with who was sharing my car for a couple of years moonlights as a DJ at one of those stations. I'd get in the car, the FM radio would come on and he';d have it tuned in to that station he works at. Arrrghhhh!!!
I don't see how anyone can listen to that stuff, let alone get paid to play it over and over. |

I could probably list a dozen artists off the top of my head from that era who are never on the radio anymore. I've been digging out all the one hit wonders this week. Those are even more forgotten by modern playlists. |

its okay...I am shy though and I hate the sound of my own voice...one hit wonders? matthew Wilder 'break my stride'....there's one.

I could lay the blame for the increasingly depraved behavior of our privilged middle/upper class suburban youth but I too will keep my mouth shut... IMO this "music" is a large contributing factor towards the increase in disturbing behavior, loss of positive morals and values among our youth, and the decrease in self respect among young females, that has swept this country over the past 2 decades or so  .... anyway, back to our regularly scheduled thread about the movie heavy metal.

I heard this and avoided it for that reason...FAKK 2? wasn't that the title?
The original movie is great, but the "sequel" Heavy Metal 2000 sucked horribly. There were maybe one or two references to the original movie but otherwise it had a terrible plot and mediocre voice actors. |

It did royally suck, but also, its kinda hard to do a sequel almost 20 years after the fact. The only sequel that was decent almost that long was Phantasm 2. |

One of my favorite movies.
"Sucker play or not, I must have turned her on somethin' fierce. I mean, this dame was goin' for broke. Maybe it was her first time with a New Yorker, I dunno. Anyway, nothing beats good old American know-how. And I was givin' this broad the Stars And Stripes For Ever." |
