MODERATORS
Phish - Gamehenge
Cologne by incubus would make a pretty wild b-movie
Everything I Wanted - Billie Eilish
I feel like you could do a really dark Scrooge themed story from it.
Watsky, et al - Exquisite Corpse
For best results this should be cheesy B-movie as hell, the song really leans into it I think
Dude I don't think I've ever seen Watsky mentioned outside of his own comment sections. You a real one for that.
Love my guy, George.
Love my guy George. Listening to Cardboard Castles got me through a really rough time in my life and I don't expect to ever be able to repay it. Least I can do is to spread the word.
Each verse could be a chapter in a anthology movie, written and directed by different people
That's essentially how they wrote the song, so yeah! I can see it. I'd watch this.
Yeah I know, I think they shot the music video for it in a similar way, and a movie with a bigger budget could expand on that
Mmm... Cheesey...
Jacob’s dream: based on a true story of two kids who went missing.
The night the lights went out in Georgia: about a guy who gets lynched.
18 and life: kid finishes school and starts doing crime
Def leopard billys got a gun
I always imagine All Along the Watchtower as a 1980's fantasy movie along the lines of Red Sonya or The Beastmaster.
Several rush songs. 2112, Hemispheres, cygnus x-1
Dispatch - the general
Ooh that would be super interesting
Tool-Lost keys/Rosetta stoned. Maybe the stoner really did see something out in the desert.
Alrighty then... picture this if you will
Dead Flag Blues. By Godspeed You! Black Emperor.
The Mariner's Revenge by The Decemberists
That's a good one
Die Fantastischen Vier - Krieger could make an interesting piece or art piece.
It's German, here's the first lyrics translation weblink I found
Pinball wizard
Boy have I got news for you!
American Pie - Don McLean
Bob Dylan - Hurricane (which actually became a movie starring Denzel Washington in 1999).
That song is amazing!
Coheed and Cambria has entered the chat
I just don't know, man.
I think their songs would make for interesting comics, though!
Rhapsody, the band all of their songs progressively tell an epic story that I would love to see in movie form.
Alternatively Nightfall in Middle-Earth from Blind Guardian, love the Silmarillion would love to see a movie about it.
Nice try, Hollywood
Drat! You got me!
Tom Petty, running down a dream.
King for a 1000 years, Helloween
Tarkus. Giant monsters battling is always fun.
- 38 years old - The Tragically Hip
- Tweeter and the Monkey Man (Travelling Wilburys original or The Headstones cover of it)
Dream Theater - Metropolis.
Alternatively, Metropolis pt II - Scenes from a Memory, if you find an ambitious producer.
Honestly Scenes from a Memory would make a great movie, and now I have to go listen to it again
Alice's Restaurant Massacree
Space Oddity Wellerman
- Yours Truly, 2095 - Electric Light Orchestra
- Underneath the Radar - Underworld
- Silent Running - Mike and the Mechanics
I'd love to see a movie based on Silent Running. But I'm afraid it's shaping out to be a documentary...
(The existing movie of the same name has nothing in common with the song, but it's worth watching anyway.)
Yes, Wikipedia says:
Rutherford named the song after the film Silent Running "because I remembered that film so well, and our song had a spacey feel to it."
- Seether - Love Her
- Slipknot - Killpop
