 Written on April 15, 2007 Summary: The Music DOES make the movie I saw the movie when it came out, and a few times on cable over the years, and loved it. So when the DVD came out, I bought it. Major disappointment!! Apparently, the idiots who made the movie failed to secure the rights to use the music in the DVD release. The bland and generic rock they used just killed the film. So- I bought the soundtrack. It's just as great as my memories! As I listened to Hagar's "Heavy Metal", I realized it was the music that made the film. Without it- the movie is flatassed boring. Now- I just watch the DVD without sound and que the soundtrack at the appropirate moments. It works. Written on February 14, 2007 Summary: A Blast From The Past Flash Back time. This CD is great has alot of good tunes. Written on February 2, 2007 Summary: Samples This soundtrack brings back so many good memories. I graduated in 1981 and had never seen any thing like this movie. Has anyone noticed though, on the samples, that the first song isn't Sammy Hagar's "Heavy Metal", but Don Felder's version of "Heavy Metal"? I love the music from my youth, if you look around at the musicians now, you can see that the "Old Guys" still can rock!!!!! Written on January 11, 2007 Summary: Great music You don't have to be a fan of the film to enjoy this fine collection of songs. This soundtrack album features a good mix of very famous and underground music legends. Don't let the title fool you; this music is better described as rock than heavy metal, but it is good rock. Cheap Trick has one of its best songs on this collection (also one of the best songs of the collection): "Reach Out", which is rarely performed by the band. The catchy and intense "I Must Be Dreaming" is also by Cheap Trick and its frenetic instrumental opening and closing are addictive enough that you'll catch yourself humming it as you go about your day. Journey's famous arena ballad "Open Arms" is included here and is required listening for anyone interested in that group. Stevie Nicks has a decent song here with "Blue Lamp" but is rather overshadowed by Riggs' "Radar Rider", Grand Funk Railroad's short but sweet "Queen Bee" and the atmospheric and haunting "Veteran of the Psychic Wars" by Blue Oyster Cult. The two songs that carry the same title as the album and film are decent songs themselves, but while Sammy Hagar's "Heavy Metal" tends to get old after a few listens (the 1986 album "VOA" is a better representation of what Hagar is capable of), Don Felder's "Heavy Metal (Takin' A Ride)" has far more staying power, mainly due to the well-realized hook and the tight vocal harmonies, particularly during the chorus. For whatever reason, the Devo song "Through Being Cool" is conspicuously absent from this album (it was prominently featured in the film), which is a shame as it's a very good song, but at least Devo's other offering, a quirky cover of "Workin' In The Coal Mine" is included. Any fan of 80's music should enjoy this album; the music is a fine example of its time and much of what is presented here was not released on other collections (there are exceptions though, the most obvious being Devo, Hagar and Journey). Knowledge of the film is not at all necessary to enjoy this. However, I do recommend the film to anyone who enjoys adult animation. If you like 80's music or any of the bands listed, this is a perfect addition to your music library. Written on November 11, 2006 Summary: best soundtrack ever i remember the magazines as a 13 & 14 yer old in the early 80's and wanting to see the movie. being a catholic school boy, it ws sort of frowned upon. but, my grandmother bought me the soundtrack anyway. and i thought it was the greatest movie soundtrack ever. it was a 2 album set and I still have it. i hadn't heard it for at least 15 yearsuntil i brought out my old albums and record player. HEAVY METAL was the first I listened to. the music hasn't aged and they're still great--evern after all these years. Don Felder's songs, as well as devo's and donald fagan's track, still stand out. and excellent selection of songs to a truly classic animated film. an album not to be missed. |
