Oh wow! Thanks for the recommendation *u*
First songs I tried by Royal Blood, Come on Over, and Figure It Out, and I already agree with you! The voice is in the range I’d imagine for Lestat; as much as I headcanon that Lestat loves Bruce Springsteen I don’t think his voice would be as low as the Boss’s.
YES I want this bc of reasons! He deserved so much more out of that concert. I would suggest that the people behind the scenes look at footage of ACTUAL 80’s BANDS for reference on how to do Lestat’s concert accurately.
Hit the jump for my rambling about the soundtrack…
Honestly tho, the soundtrack to IWTV was mostly orchestral, and I would imagine a re-do of that trainwreck of a movie QotD would be more … modern rock? At least 80’s, because it takes place in 1985, IIRC… more along the lines of the G ‘n R’s Sympathy for the Devil cover that plays at the end (which I still prefer to the original, because I heard this cover first!)
Or Bruce Springsteen. We know Lestat and Louis both love the Boss, don’t even try to convince me otherwise.
Elliot Goldenthal did an amazing job on the IWTV soundtrack, especially in how he perfectly captured the different characters: humorous/upbeat pieces like Lestat’s Tarantella and the more quietly disturbing Libera Me, etc.
Side note: Speaking of The American Boychoir (they sung Libera Me), I’m reminded of the Vega Choir’s cover of Radiohead’s Creep for the Social Network. That was sorta along the same lines.
“He told me then to go look at his father myself, since I was the one who was always `looking,’ and I did. The old man was truly dying… And as he moaned and prayed for death, Lestat in the other room began to play the spinet. I slammed it shut, barely missing his fingers. `You won’t play while he dies!’ I said. `The hell I won’t!’ he answered me. `I’ll play the drum if I like!’ And taking a great sterling silver platter from a sideboard he slipped a finger through one of its handles and beat it with a spoon.”

FQL:
Lestat here. I want to answer Scott Hunsucker: “Lestat, I would like to know how you feel about music. You’ve been around long enough to hear some of the greats play and sing. Do you have a personal preference for a certain genre or style of music. If so, does the music move you, does it take you back or evoke memories of your past as it does with some of us mortals?” Scott, I love music. I have to be careful with it; music intoxicates me; I can become completely taken over by music, to where I don’t want to do much else but listen to it. It’s like a powerful drug. I love music of all periods, especially my own century — Mozart in particular. And some French composers who were earlier favorites at the French Royal Court. Vivaldi energizes me, as do many of the Italians. But I can be overpowered easily by Beethoven and Brahms, and 19th century opera as well. Verdi and Puccini and Saint Saens especially delight me. Of course I am enchanted by popular music of all kinds — Jim Morrison, Tina Turner, Bon Jovi, Joan Jett. I find myself highly susceptible to the most emotional and intense music. But I can be hypnotized by the gentle melodies of Eric Satie or Chopin as well. I am consumed from time to time with the desire to make music, to sneak off to some little tavern in the French Quarter of New Orleans and take to the stage with an electric guitar. I do this from time to time, actually. Though not as much as I would like. Thanks for the question. There are many more composers and performers I could name, but you get the idea. —– Now, if anyone has a new question for me, by all means post it in this thread.
I’m just gonna leave this here…
//No, but this video is seriously their entire relationship in a nutshell.
the accuracy is astounding!
Beethoven Sonata Op 57 “Appassionata” Mov. 3
Don’t get me wrong, this is beautiful. She is amazing, the piece is amazing.
This is the piece that woke Lestat up. I set it as the alarm on my phone to simulate being awoken by this and let me tell u what: IT WORKS. Very alarming, you really cannot ignore it or shut it out, and it’s NOT the most pleasant thing to wake up to. It works though, it really works.
Just try and tell me that Valentina Lisitsa isn’t basically Sybelle, just look at her! She’s just older.
Beethoven “Moonlight” Sonata op 27 # 2 Mov 3 Valentina Lisitsa
#Sybelle is that u?
Gone Girl is Reznor and Ross’ third soundtrack collaboration under the direction of David Fincher. As with their past work together, the music suits the story that inspired it perfectly.
