BEST METAL MOMENTS IN MOVIES?

 Thursday, February 11th, 2010 at 3:30pm by

Even though we’re always up in Cosmo Lee’s bidness, it’s worth noting that some other awesome writers also post at Invisible Oranges.

Case in point: Chris Rowella, who has published a list of his Top 5 Metal Moments in Movies over at Invisible Oranges.

He’s included all sorts of great cinemetal moments on the list, but my personal favorite is one I love for sentimental reasons – namely, it takes me back to being a kid, when the Gremlins movies were pretty-much the be-all, end-all of awesomeness. Yes, I’m talking about this immortal sequence from Gremlins 2: The New Batch:

Chris doesn’t mention it and I can’t seem to find a clip online, but some of you may recall that Faith No More’s “Surprise! You’re Dead!” also appears in Gremlins Deuce.

Check out the full list here; then come back and let us know what some of your personal favorite metal movie moments are.

    The scene in old school with master of puppets is probably my favorite, aside from the gremlins scene.

    • DustintheWind

      GWAR in Empire Records!!! “You play a mean guitar Brian, too bad you must die!!!!”

  • Chuckles

    The scene with Infectious Grooves from Encino Man

  • mahkiavelli

    This movie was fucking horrible, but I will admit to throwing up the horns for this scene:

  • Gecko

    I was a kid when Gremlins 2 came out, so I wasn’t huge on metal yet, especially Slayer. Once I got into it though, and I recognized Angel Of Death in this scene, all I could do was laugh about how pro-Jewish Steven Spielberg is (who created Gremlins…and for the record, I don’t have a problem with his religious stance…ahem Underoath), and having him use a song about the Holocaust and Mengele in his movie. Oh irony, you were so cool before Brooklyn hipsters ruined you!

    • Gecko

      Oh, and also…Cannibal Corpse in Ace Ventura! How did we miss that?

  • Hammer_Smashed_Hurtt

    The scene in Aliens When Corporal Hicks jams the 12 Guage shotty in the Alien’s mouth declares “Ëat this!!” and Ventilates the back of the Alien skull. Classic

    I get a chub just thinking about it.

    • Hammer_Smashed_Hurtt

      No metal Soundtrack, but cmon…

      • http://www.myspace.com/whiskeyrambleproject x101whiskey_ramble101x

        speaking of soundtracks, Last Action Hero sure does have a nice selection of tunes.

        • Hammer_Smashed_Hurtt

          Angry Again by Megadeth. Classic

          • http://www.facebook.com/people/Mark-Gavin/1396340262 Mark Gavin

            Wasn’t there an Anthrax track in there, too?

  • bearbomb

    Dumb and Dumber – Green Jelly. The food poisoning scene still cracks me up. And why didn’t anybody tell me Green Jelly came out with a new album last year?!

  • http://www.myspace.com/whiskeyrambleproject x101whiskey_ramble101x

    Pee Wee Herman’s Big Adventure – Twisted Siste’s “Burn in Hell!” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_pbrk3yhNpo

    • http://www.facebook.com/people/Jason-John-Crispen/100000169530540 Jason John Crispen

  • http://www.myspace.com/whiskeyrambleproject x101whiskey_ramble101x

    Oh shit… just remembered The Deftones on The Crow…pert sure it was part 2. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ISLtWJ349gU

  • Spanky

    The Mastodon thing in the Aqua Teen movie was the best!

    • two snakes

      This. Also: King Diamond in Clerks 2.

      • Spanky

        …I forgot all about King Diamond in Clerks 2, that was amazing as well

  • Future Ruins

    Anybody ever see Night of the Demons 2? The part where all the kids are partying and dancing and the demon Angela enters the room. The DJ starts playing Rapture by Morbid Angel. Its incredibly cheesy because all the kids start dancing to it. How do you dance to Rapture????!!?? \m/

    • Dannibal

      I was gonna mention that! That scene cracked me up.

  • Tonberry

    From the movie “Demons”

    Accept – Fast as a Shark

  • atjah

    The scene in Wild at Heart where Nicolas Cage and Laura Dern go out dancing at a Powermad show. It starts out awesome, and then gets weirder but stays awesome.
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JEz-cwJxtu8

    • \m/

      Totally agree. Gotta love it when you discover a band during a movie… I hadn’t heard about Powermad before.

      Did you notice (at 0:29) that moshpit ninjas already existed back then ?

  • RockOutWithMy…YouKnow

    Love the opening credits to Zombieland.

  • Mr. Sandwich

    How about the part in Bill and Ted’s Bogus Journey when Evil Bill and Ted are driving the Good Bill and Ted in to the desert to kill them and “The Perfect Crime” by Faith No More is playing? Awesome song, Awesome movie.

    • http://www.facebook.com/people/Christopher-Rowan/531575311 Christopher Rowan

      Yes! Then when theyre taking them up the cliff megadeths go to hell is playing… Awesome. Just watched that last night oddly enough.

  • http://thenumberoftheblog.wordpress.com/ groverXIII

    I love Zombieland…

    And while Rammstein is not everyone’s cup o’ tea, their scene in XXX (an otherwise shite movie) was pretty great. Love the face-mounted flamethrowers.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Ah5KD6evlM

    The fun starts around 1:20.

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Brendan-Snow/514886363 Brendan Snow

    I know there were plenty of “metal” moments in it, but Ronnie James Dio’s cameo in the Tenacious D movie was fucking awesome, that little guy still kicks so much ass.

    • http://www.facebook.com/people/Brendan-Snow/514886363 Brendan Snow

      http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AmCtU1C3dcc&feature=related skip to the 2:45 mark for Dio, I also totally forgotten about Meat Loaf’s cameo as Jack Black’s dad hahahahaha

      • http://www.facebook.com/people/Nick-Haley/100000418183582 Nick Haley

        i can’t stand that movie…. unless Dio happens to be singing.

  • Tonberry

    Also, while Zombieland was awesome, did anybody notice the bad edit in For Whom the Bell Tolls? On the video on the site, listen around :11. I thought I might’ve imagined it when I saw it the first time, but it totally does hiccup right there.

    • Chief

      Yeah, they do that in movies. It was almost flawless, but real fans notice shit like that. Great opening scene though…

  • deanerhead

    South Park…Kenny’s goes to Hell feat. Hetfield:

    • deanerhead

      • http://www.myspace.com/whiskeyrambleproject x101whiskey_ramble101x

        matt stone and trey parker are funny as fuck themselves… d.v.d.a. had some killer tunes…I don’t want to sound like a queer or nothing, but I think Unicorns kickass!

  • luisypoo

    This is by far one of the best moments in any movie, gearing the fuck up!!
    NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET 4: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oa5448Nb2P8
    I dont know what band it is but its definetly metal and its definetly super 80′s

    • luisypoo

      Oh, thats minute 5:36, sorry

      • Tonberry

        Ha, I knew it was gonna be that scene. Good shit.

  • luisypoo

    Oh, you cant get any better than IRON MAN in DETROIT ROCK CITY
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H45CLhcWYHA
    so badass

    • luisypoo

      wait… that clip sucks, it cuts off
      http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BcQt4nyZS_k

    • Hammer_Smashed_Hurtt

      That movie was badass but yknow what? Half the songs in the movie never made it to the soundtrack. Instead of ‘Whole lotta rosie’ by AC/DC we got a shitty “Highway to Hell’cover by Marilyn manson. How the fuck did that happen.

  • heartskull

    in mathilda during the scene in the living where she blows up the tv, her brother is wearing a napalm death shirt. not sayin its a fav moment, just pointing out a random metal movie moment.

  • Andy P

    The drum solo in Wayne’s World. No fuckin’ doubt.

    also Lemmy in Airheads

    • wackomann

      Airheads…haha

      “What are you gonna cut their heads off with, Pip?”

    • heartskull

      who wins in a fight between lemmy and God?

  • Pete

    The opening and closing sequence of “Funny Games.” Anyone seen it?

    • Dan

      Bonehead

  • TXHellbilly

    Pantera in the Crow, Rollins Band in the Crow, Helmet in the Crow, MLWTTKK in the Crow, you get the picture

  • yetzer hara

    tales from the crypt: demon knight has an all metal soundtrack (pantera, sepultura, machine head, etc…) except for one song by gravediggaz.

    there’s a scene in taledega nights towards the end of the movie when they play sepultura. if memory serves me correctly, it’s the song, “inner self.”

    there are other metal scenes in gummo besides the sleep song too…

    my life with the thrill kill kult playing “after the flesh” in the crow…

    alice in chains in “singles”

    there are others i’m forgetting now.

    • Dannibal

      I’m pretty sure the Sepultura song was Desperate Cry.

  • Facebook User

    Wayne’s World 2.
    “Isn’t the music soothing, Garth?”
    “Do you have any Megadeth?”

    Kills me!

    • wackomann

      I think I’m going to refer to the first Wayne’s World, but the scene where Wayne is outside the club asking the bouncer (Meat Loaf) who’s playing just slays me.

      “The Jolly Green Giants and the Shitty Beatles.”
      “The Shitty Beatles? They any good?”
      “They suck”
      “Then it’s not just a clever name…”

      Okay, it’s not very metal, but…Tia Carrere!

      • http://www.facebook.com/people/Tom-Campagna/40702766 Tom Campagna

        also if anyone else can help me but i remember the Painkiller poster in Garth’s room. there were others as well. on a sad note Tia Carrere circa 2010 is a sad sight to see :-(

  • http://www.myspace.com/trials Fisting Andrew Golota

    At the end of Donnie Darko, in the party scene, those kids are blasting “Proud To Be Loud” by Pantera. No shit.

    Also, any and all scenes from “Airheads.”

    • http://www.facebook.com/people/Jason-John-Crispen/100000169530540 Jason John Crispen

      yeah, that’s in the director’s cut. i heard that and was like “wait a minute….” very cool

      • http://www.facebook.com/people/Jason-John-Crispen/100000169530540 Jason John Crispen

        theatrical cut rather

  • Walker

    The Wrestler? Bang Your Head? Can it get any more metal?

  • Hammer_Smashed_Hurtt

    In ‘Extract’ the dumbass forklift driver was definately rockin a Mastodon shirt, and a couple of Death Metal ‘T’s as well. Just thought it was funny

    “Ill be the laughing stock of the Grindcore circuit…..this cant Happen”

    I Lol’d

  • LilalCFH

    Sepultura. Ricky Bobby.

  • Taavi

    Ace Ventura!

  • Facebook User

    Nailbomb’s “Wasting Away” in To Die For.

  • braincake

    pantera was in spongebob.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pfn9m2_e85w&feature=fvw

    not a movie, but whatever.

  • john

    cannibal corpse in ace ventura should be number 1

  • DeathMasqueRed

    Cannibal Corpse in “Ace Ventura” should definitely be number 1.

    “Empire Records” has two great metal moments. GWAR’s cameo, and when the red-haired kid plays Suicidal Tendencies’ “I Shot the Devil” shortly after the store opens.

  • ferris

    The Wrestler, all of it.

  • sean

    POWERMAAAAAAAD!!!!!

  • Shitnuckle

    I dont know if anyone mentioned this or not but Sepultura’s “Mass Hypnosis,” i believe it was,coming on during the end of the race in Talladega Nights:Ballad of Ricky Bobby was a rather pleasant surprise
