MetallicA on the Soundtrack?

[Shock]

I am a die hard fan of the group, and somewhat disapointed they didnt do a song for DD, X2(though no one did) or even Matrix. HELLO ITS CALLED RELOADED, METALLICAS BEST SELLING ALBUM WAS RELOAD!!!!!! but while reading a trade paper back i got of Frank Castle, i thought MetallicA would be a good choice, what are some other good choices?

[themanwithoutfear]

how about NOT having another stupid, gay soundtrack done by untalented bands who all sound the same.
and why n ot pick a good band who doesnt bitch that theyre songs are being downloaded for free then ask for donations when theyve already got 50 million cramed up theyre asses.


we've lost spider-man , daredevil,blade,hulk, and batman(3 and 4) to shit soundtracks. take a clue from x-men and just keep it to the score.

[The Amazing Crappo]

If they absolutley positively need to have a soundtrack comprised solely of alternate rock, then I be all for Metallica. Not a new song though, one of the oldies would be quite cool....none of this nu shit that pollutes the airwaves on a daily basis...maybe get some old Guns N Roses on there too...that'd kick ass.

PS. I can't help but notice that this post was written by the 15yr old version me...

WORD!

[GRIM]

if they had to have a soundtrack (a score would probabley be better) ide suggest strictly the heaveist classic rock. AC/DC, zeplin, old halen. but even then, i doubt it would work. but we all know they are going to go for a stupid ass hip hop rock soundtrack. grrrrrr. if you ask me, this movie should be a mix of the first matrix (the high octane action, without the wires and bullet time) and the Taxi Driver.

[Shock]

For the record, and i do have the numbers in front of me, but it was only Lars that was the Napster hater. And Metallica did the least to the Mp3 services than anyone else, they just got heard more than anyone else. Dr. Dre sued Napster twice on three attepts. Emenim helped out on the last case. And thats over now. now that the band has had a good six years to reflect it has changed alot of the bands in fact all of their attitudes. they are like the revolutionary MeatallicA of the 80's. And i guaruntee that if they do a band soundtrack MetallicA will be the first bands they look at. Id like to see mabey some Powerman 5000, mabey some KoRnp only if the MetallicA song is more brutie like No Leaf Clover or Turn the Page.

In response to the post about keep it a score, the only reason it is a score is because it is a team. You dont really have many songs to write about mutiple characters. If the shoot to a Wolverine solo i promise it will be an Artist Soundtrack. And heres an idea, lets hope they can actually pull off the artist soundtrack, i agree that with exception of Hero on Spider-Man and Man Without Fear on DD the rest of the albums have sucked. thats what this post is for to see if they can do one right.

[themanwithoutfear]

no ALL of the spider-man soundtrack sucked(though the only song worth saving was th aroesmith version of spider-man. fuunyest thing i ever heard!)
also man with out fear on daredevil sucked. the only 2 good songs on that whole album were the evenesence songs. and no the x-men isnt just a score because its a team. thats the dumbest logic ever. when glenn danzig auditioned he gave them a song and said "sorry i cant be a in the movie i'd rather tour but heres a song you can have anyways."
i honestly think it's just bryan singer NOT wanting another stupid album out. think of how much money they could have made on a soundtrack alone.

[norrinraad]

Metallica without Jason Newsted is kind of like a hot dog with no mustard (to paraphrase the Beastie Boys).

[The Amazing Crappo]

Actually, I think the best song Spidey was that track by Bleu....

[MALCOLMXERXES]

SHOCK,

I think that the obvious choice for the film would be "ENTER THE PUNISHER" by ERIC B. & RAKIM.

And of course, there is a fair amount of suitable material to be found on BIG PUNISHER: "CAPITAL PUNISHMENT".

If METALLICA(TM) did contribute to the soundtrack, I would ask that it be "ONE", which has both the angst & Irony of being based upon MR. DALTON TRUMBO'S "JOHNNY GOT HIS GUN".

I think Metallica would do a song for the soundtrack, but this is so obvious i cant believe i didnt think about it.... AC/DC's Big Guns...... eh?

[MALCOLMXERXES]

SHOCK,

That piece is not known to me.

On what album does it appear?

I think it was specially written & recorded for the Last Action Hero sound track. It's pretty badass, not sure if it's right for Mr. Castle, though.

Thanks for the intel!

Actually Metallica's black album was their best selling record. Just to let you know.
And I'd be more than happy to organize a soundtrack that would fit the mood of the punisher.

[MALCOLMXERXES]

TJC,

I keep meaning to buy that 1, as "SAD, BUT TRUE" is my favourite song of theirs, while "NOTHING ELSE MATTERS" is 1 of the few ballads I am able to stomach.

hey, I kinda liked that song.
Personally, I wanna see some kick ass metal bands on the soundtrack. Some Metallica would be good, but how about some Skinlab, Hatebreed, or Rammstein, also?
Blade's got hip-hop
Spidey and DD got alt. rock
Punisher and metal should go together like peanut butter and jelly.

[zombie_new_wave]

Yikes!

What about the Punisher eminates alternirock and cock-rock? It should be an eclectic soundtrack. Rap and hip-hop in the back ground if he's passing that element. Musak in the elevators. Frank Sinatra when he's around mafia. To me, Punisher never had a soundtrack; he was too legitimate for that.

If the producers really wanted to keep it sincere, have the soundtrack be 60's rock (as much as I hate it) at least it would be appropriate for a middle-aged anti-hero.

In my personal opinion, they should place the movie in the 80's (not Vice City and not hokey). Then you would have the spray-painted walls and world that Mike Zeck created. To this day, I think the covers of the Punisher's original series were the best. The bleeding target shaped like the Kingpin...oooh.

On a side note, this forum reminds me of the episode of the Family Guy where they talk about KISS...only with Metalica. I like a few select songs by them, but...well, not to offend, but let's keep it comics.

BROKENSTATUE2001,

I am always in favour of RAMMSTEIN on any soundtrack! I nearly fainted when they turned up in xXx.

***************************

ZOMBIE NEW WAVE,

What are some examples of what you call "c*ck-rock"?

How can a character be deemed "too legitimate" to have music which complements his/her adventures? Are you suggesting that JAMES BOND 007 is "illegitimate" because his soundtracks were composed by MR. JOHN BARRY, spawning Top 10 hit singles?

"60's rock"? That's a bit vague, isn't iit? That embraces everyone from ADAM FAITH to KING CRIMSON!

I had not noted that "the bleeding target" cover was intended to resemble THE KINGPIN, but I shall re-examine it.

Cockrock--long hair, fireworks in sync with the bass petal of the drums, chaps (or jeans so tight they create he same emphesis), extended solos tha travel all the way down the neck of the guitar...Can be anywhere from Iron Maiden to Poison or G'nR. i.e. The bane of of the 80's (where the term was coined). See also big arena metal bands that were more concerned about money than music.

And 60's music is a pretty general term o ecompass all mainstream music of th 60's. I cerainly don't think that Frank Castle is going to be rocking out to "Looking at You" by the MC5s, or something by he seeds. I'm talking Beatles, Elvis, the Yardbirds, the Zombies (catch the pun) etc.

My point was that the soundtrack should be a symphony of the diversity of the city rather han all out Metal, Alternirock, or rap

------------------
Me fail spelling? That's unpossible.

[thejokerscard]

Zombienewwave I don't think that the audience would take the movie seriously at all if hippie rock songs were invading their ears while Castle is trying to kick some ass. rock? ok real stupid. But seriously, I personally felt cheated because all of these cheap ass soundtracks that were on the C2F films, but since the movies weren't so good either so no big loss. But now we have the oppertunity to put the perfect soundtrack together to fit the attitude of what the Punisher is all about.One thing I definetly don't want is some crappy nu metal band that's been together for 2 months put their songs in. Good bands such as Pantera (I can hear Cemetery Gates playing the shot of his family's funeral, while in another sequence arming himself with high class weaponery and seeking those who destroyed his life) Slayer, Black Sabbath, Slipknot, and Rob Zombie could definetly fit in, even though I d The Man With No Fear.

[thejokerscard]

As for Metallica, I doubt that you can classify them as metal anymore, theyre much too concerned with their paychecks then their playing.

Rock On http://www.comics2film.com/UBB/jay.gif

[zombie_new_wave]

I think yu guys are missing my point. I want the music to reflect the place he is. I obviously don't expect him to be firing a place up to Hey Jude, but I think that if he were oiling a gun in his warehouse and Nany Sinatra was playing in the back ground. Then, if he taking someone out in a club, then techno...and yes I'm sure he could FSU with some good driving sound. I'd prefer lyric-less core to metal. I'd say Sick of It All's Clobberin Time or (my dream of dreams to have Punisher lighting a place up to) GI Joe Headstomp.

ZNW,

Thanks for the intel!

"THE ZOMBIES" pun was excellent!

"Well-played, clerks, well-played!"

********************************

TJC,

When THE PUNISHER(TM) has been cast the way it has, why should you expect that the soundtrack would capture the essence of what he is about?

What did you think of the 1989 soundtrack? For me, it was quite excellent; I should love to purchase it if I could find 1, but THE PUNISHER(TM) as presented in that film lacked the backstory that we have all come to know over the decades.

METALLICA(TM) expect to be paid for the Heavy Metal music they create; that's Capitalism. Are we to infer that a band is only "legitimate" for so long as it allows itself to be taken advantage of by the vampiric record companies & fans who want to steal their music?

punisher and all of the other c2fs all have shitty unnessary soundtracks. just stick to scores.
and nobody start with that "evil of people downloading, artist deserve to sue for more millions of dollers." bullshit.

I have to agree here. It's fairly common knowledge that the vast majority of recording artists make their money through touring, not record sales. Unless you are a Madonna or a Celine Dion, people who sell in the mega millions and have the bargaining power to negotiate lucrative recording contracts, making money through royalties is an industry myth. Downloading hurts record companies more than artists, and the big companies have been exploiting new artists ever since the beginning of recorded music. It's about time there was some payback.

As far as I'm concerned, downloading is beneficial as people are more willing to try out new types of music for free than if they had to pay for it. The more people who discover you and dig your stuff, the better the chances that they will support you on tour where the real money is made anyway. As for the big artists who actually make money through royalties, I doubt many of us feel too bad for Madonna and her ilk. It's not like people at that level haven't made their money already. And as for the moral implications of "stealing music", please, don't try and say you never had a friend tape something for you, either off TV or radio. There has always been piracy and there always will be (part of the risk you take by making something public). Everytime you photocopy a text book for school you're technically "stealing". The last entity I would feel sorry for is a big, multi-national conglomerate.

Back on topic, Metallica has alot of rage in their music that I think would be ideal for The Punisher. Seeing as how they are money hungry corporate pigs http://www.comics2film.com/UBB/rolleyes.gif I'm sure they're eager to futher line their pockets anyway possible.

[brokenstatue2001]

it seems as if that "cock rock statement was directed towards my choies, right?
if that is true then you are wrong. metal has evolved since the eighties. i would like to be clear that skinlab and hatebreed are not like that. i mention those bands for two reasons.
Skinlab's "Purify"
Hatebreed's "I Will Be Heard"
of course rammstein is cock rock if you described it like that, but they make good music that i think deserves to be on a soundtrack for "Punisher"

[MALCOLMXERXES]

THEMANWITHOUTFEAR,

I love film scores when they are done well.
I thought that the score for UNBREAKABLE™ was quite exceptional, & something similar for THE PUNISHER™ would not upset me @ all. 8)

Generally, I think that once bands are introduced to a film soundtrack, their music jars the viewing audience out of the story, because songs carry very peculiar & specific emotional resonance for each audient, much as odours do.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

NORRINRAAD,

I think that METALLICA’S™ “SAD, BUT TRUE” would be ideal for THE PUNISHER™ soundtrack, especially the lyric “Do my work; do my dirty work stakeout”.

The idea that one is not stealing revenue from a musician because his/her own record company is doing the same is no defence for record piracy.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

BROKENSTATUE2001,

I have never thought of RAMMSTEIN™ as “c*ck rock”, a label I find denigrating.
I like & respect their work, quite a lot. 8)
