Bruce Springsteen – Streets Of Philadelphia

“… for years I hunted on the edge of the human herd, a hideous and crippled monster, who could strike down only the very young or infirm. In constant danger from my victims, I became the very antithesis of the romantic demon, bringing terror rather than rapture, resembling nothing so much as the old revenants of les Innocents in their filth and rags.

The wounds I’d suffered affected my very spirit, my capacity to reason. And what I saw in the mirror every time I dared to look further shriveled my soul.” – The Vampire Lestat

can you imagine if they re-do queen of the damned and the concert is amazing??( even though i really like the soundtrack to the first movie)

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. 

softer-things:

Anybody else remember that time that Lestat was chasing Louis through the streets and Louis closed a glass door in his face and Lestat splatted into it like a big bird into a Windex’d window?

‘Cause I sure as hell do. Occasionally I remember the scene and chuckle to myself.

“…And so he ran after me all the way back to the hotel, all the way across the rooftops, where I hoped to lose him, until I leaped in the window of the parlor and turned in rage and slammed the window shut. He hit it, arms outstretched, like a bird who seeks to fly through glass, and shook the frame.” – Louis de Pointe du Lac, Interview with the Vampire
