The Stephen King Heavy Metal CD!

[Ken_Kupstis]

This hasn't been made yet, of course, but I bet Stephen could make it happen:
HAIL TO THE KING: HEAVY METAL FROM THE WORKS OF STEPHEN KING
1. THE SHINING (Black Sabbath)
2. CHRISTINE (Malice)
3. MISERY (MISERY LOVES COMPANY) (Anthrax)
4. THE STAND (AMONG THE LIVING) (Anthrax)
5. APT PUPIL (A SKELETON IN THE CLOSET) (Anthrax)

Wait a minute, this is turning into a damn Anthrax album...

Anyway, I know there's a bunch of others but they're not jumping to mind right now...anyone know any 'King'-sized metal songs?

Beast Witches, KK

[GNTLGNT]

O.K., stop screaming at me with your font!!!! "Highway to Hell" comes to mind as a cut...I get royalties though for the idear...

Somewhere Far Beyond - Blind Guardian

I came from far
Beyond Your reality
The ocean of time
It's the odysee of mine
I am the narrator
And now I'll tell You
Where I've been
And what I saw
And how it ends

Welcome to the wasteland
In a world which is turning faster
Where I'm alone for a while
It's turning faster
Away from light straight to the dark
The march of time it has begun
I'm caught in an ancient dream so bright
And then the march of time begins

The man in black he waits
Behind this last task
It's full of pain
To sacrifice the only son
The legions of the lost
Wait in the old mine
They try to stop me
The battle it has begun

So I'm not afraid
To walk down to the wasteland
I'm so alone on my way
And I don't fear that dusty god forsaken path
Somewhere far beyond
Somewhere far beyond
The march of time it has begun
Somewhere far beyond your reality
And then the march of time begins
Look at my soul
And behind
There are some things
I've to hide from You
I'm following the black man
I'm losing control
And I don't care
What's happening to the boy

Welcome to the new world
One more step to the dark tower
And my whole body's in flames
I'm looking for Those healing things to be prepared
The march of time it has begun
I'm caught in a prisoner's dirty life
And then the march of time begins

The prisoner did bring the healing spell
The queen of shadows found herself in pain
And death brings answers to us all
What will I find
When the dark tower appears
Will it be the end
Or just a new quest after all
I am the narrator
And now I'll tell You
Where I'd been
And what I saw
And how it ends
Look around and see
The world is turning fast
Faster day by day
Somewhere far beyond
I'll try to change it
If I can - Somewhere far beyond
There's only one chance
And it lies - Somewhere far beyond
Somewhere far beyond
The march of time it has begun
The march of time it has begun

She - Rage

Hey, I know someone who's got a real special love.
She is made of sheet metal, her name's Christine.

She takes sweet revenge
Hunt them till the end

She's a lady in red varnish and shining chrome
She's alive and she's more jealous than girls in flesh and blood
All the other guys don't like him, so one night
They are smashing Christine, but she gets up again.

She takes sweet revenge
Hunt them till the end

She's a lady in red varnish and shining chrome
She's alive and she's more jealous than girls
In flesh and blood

There she's waiting behind the corner,
Fixing them with her blinding lights.
They won't escape out of this misty night alive
And she won't come to harm...
She is keeping him from all his friends away.
He is getting more paranoid each day.

She takes sweet revenge hunt them till the end

She's a lady in red varnish and shining chrome
He's a wreck and he's more jealous than boys in flesh and blood
He takes sweet revenge
Hunt them till the end.

Whoa! Cool Dark Tower related song!

[Kim L.]

And what aboot something from King Crimson? Dinosaur, perhaps, or 21st Schizoid Man?

[evrasno1]

Always thought of Hallowed Ground by WASP as a perfect Dark Tower song.
Also,a certain Crimson King is mentioned on an album called The Idol.

[JG_Hilliard]

Maybe too obvious...how about Tommyknockers by Blind Guardian :laugh:

[Ebdim9th]

The Stand - Yngwie J. Malmsteen

[fushingfeef]

If you're a Melvins fan, check out their "Nude With Boots" album. Track 4 is "Dies Irae", better known as the music from the opening credits of Kubrick's "The Shining". Very heavy!

[Aeyviallenpoe]

I believe it was King himself who stated that this genre of "music" sounds like crows caught in a pressure cooker.

sounds like one of Patrick Hockstetter's pastimes :eek2:

[HorrorMama]

The Stand - Yngwie J. Malmsteen

"Carrie" by Lacrimas Profundere
"The Talisman" by Rhapsody
"Salen's Lot" by Iron Maiden

lol \m/

[randallFlaggfan1]

O.K., stop screaming at me with your font!!!! "Highway to Hell" comes to mind as a cut...I get royalties though for the idear...

Hey, this would work quite well, IMO (since AC/DC were featured throughout the Maximum Overdrive soundtrack!)

[Evil Queen]

Hey! I love this idea!! Mr. King, please read this thread & make it possible!! :laugh:

[HorrorMama]

I believe it was King himself who stated that this genre of "music" sounds like crows caught in a pressure cooker.


Than crows caught in a pressure cooker should be the album cover art work!

[Schmidty]

Now that I think about it your right.

[mort11]

Stranger in a strange land by Iron Maiden makes me think of Roland. Also it's my favourite song by my favourite band and my favourite author.

[J.T. Adams]

Hush little baby don't say a word, and never mind that voice you heard.

It's just the It under your bed, in Tadders closet and in your HEEEEAAAAD!!!

[SharkGunslinger1999]

Not all are exactly heavy metal, but some other songs:
Pet Sematary by the Ramones
Who Made Who by AC/DC
Jake and the Gunslinger by Blind Guardian
The Host of Seraphim by Dead Can Dance
Stand By Me by Ben E. King (there's two of them!)
Gunslinger by John Fogerty
Dark Tower by Miniature Tigers
Hurt by Johnny Cash

[SharkGunslinger1999]

Thought of some more....
Auto Rojo by Pappo's Blues
Misery by The Beatles
Don't Fear the Reaper by Blue Oyster Cult
Mordred's Song by Blind Guardian
In the Court of the Crimson King by King Crimson
Requiem for a Tower by London Music Works & Clint Mansell
'Salem's Lot Aria by Christopher Gordon

[Derry Airpatrol]

im surprised no one has mentioned the Demons & Wizards album "touched by the crimson king". The whole album is "based" on the dark tower series. Im pretty sure SK had nothing to do with the album, but its pretty much set to the books like the singer's other band (blind guardian) did for the simarillion. So if u dig metal and dark tower def check em out.
