Metal in movies

Post by BoB » Sun August 13th, 2006, 7:53 am

Just saw Talladega Nights and was surprised to hear Sepultura 'Desperate Cry' in the soundtrack. It was cool to hear it but made me feel old as dirt to hear something so "underground" when it debuted to be in a mainstream movie soundtrack...

good movie. Lumberg rocks.

The Cannibal Corpse cameo in Ace Ventura always comes to mind as a great moment.

...and the Nailbomb track being used in "To Die For."

I say more power to 'em. Real metal has always been and will always be considered underground. I just hate the starving artist mentality. I'd much rather see Akerfeldt on Cribs showing off his wall-size tv and in home studio than those fucktarded yin-yang twins
Let the joyous celebrations of Hell begin!

Not that it's metal, but the Broken Flowers soundtrack is a bunch of pretty, mellow and obscure music surrounding Dopesmoker by Sleep. That always amused me.

I remember in "The River's Edge" they played a decent amount of Slayer , and in the movie "Less Than Zero" they used Slayer and Glenn Danzig , although the Danzig track wasn't really very metal at all.

I wanted to jump up and start headbanging when that came on. I was thinking that scene needed some better music and then WHAM! Sepultura!!

I enjoyed the movie as well, although it took me forever to figure out that was Lumberg.
Fuck it, Dude, let's go bowling.

Anyone see the extended scene in Ace Ventura with Cannibal Corpse? Its pretty funny, Ace gets on stage and sings and dances around and the bad guys who kidnap Dan Marino at the end are getting their heads stomped on. Go to you tube and type in Ace Ventura Cannibal Corpse. I think it was only on the tv version, not on dvd or vhs.

Don't forget Gummo...Bathory, Mortician, etc. Only the soundtrack makes the film bearable.

ive seen it, it rules, but it looks like ace is making fun of death metal when he does it..... and about arise from sepultura, i was in like kindergarten when it came out but i dont think it was "so underground", i heard it debuted like 102 on the billboard top 200.................. underground now, popular then!!!!!

By the time Arise came out Sepultura was popular amoung the underground metal community but was unknown outside of that. It has obvious staying power and grew in popularity as Sepultura got bigger.

To summarize, in 1991 people were crushing each other at AC/DC concerts, Nirvana's 'Nevermind' debuted at #144, people believe Ozzy music causes suicide, Michael Jackson is huge, Damn Yankees were doing well and they forgot to mention Matt poo-poo'ed in his diapers while listening to 'Wheels on the bus'.

yeah and its really not that hard to debut on the billboard charts. that is based on first weeks sales correct? not being a smartass, rather actually asking.

but if i'm right and it is just for first week sales then its not surprising that an underground band can debut high on those charts. the underground obviously has more devoted fans and more people chomping at the bit to get ahold of their favorite bands new cd.

I like stupid movies and Will Ferrell and I'd be hard-pressed to give Talladega Nights any more than 1.5 stars out of 4.

i know but im just saying, if it was so underground it wouldnt of touched the top 200..... thats like the same level norma jean and unearth albums are debuting, whether they stay or last, it may not be ultra mainstream, but its definitely not super underground is what im saying, death metal was huge in 90-91-92-93..... has nothing to do with quality because i fucking love all sepultura up to arise, and even some stuff on choas ad is good to me... but morbid, schizo, beneath, and arise are priceless metal gems in my opinion, underground or not......
