How do you picture lestats band sounding? I always picture a danger says era My Chemical Romance thing

I think that’s different for everyone, and #your headcanon may vary, so your headcanon is as valid as any! Who knows how true to canon the new adaptation will be? It would be fine with me if they want to update his musical taste/sound, as long as it seems in character. 

But canon-wise, Lestat awoke in the mid-80s, before MCR was formed. AR wrote TVL w/ the 70′s and 80′s in mind. She’s mentioned Bon Jovi was a major Lestat muse for her (she even included him on the PL dedication page).

There’s fanon that Lestat loves Bruce Springsteen, too. So I’d say he would sound like a mix of Guns ‘n Roses, Bon Jovi, and Bruce Springsteen.

When whoever was in charge chose Korn to be the sound for Lestat’s band in movie!QOTD, they weren’t aiming for canon accuracy, but it was an interesting take on it. 

There’s also a Lestat band on FB you can check out, I think they officially got AR’s permission to use the name. 

And in another matters…. are you listening a band called Lestat? They play something to dark ambient… electro gothic music(?) I don’t know exactly, what kind of music they made, but it souns good, you must try it :)

I am aware of them! They’re on the book of Face if anyone wants to check them out. They have some merch, too. I even reached out to one of them at one point and they responded pretty fast. They seem like nice vampires and worthy of the name.

Apparently they’ve been around for awhile now:

I believe they asked AR’s permission to use the name, even though they didn’t have to.
