So I'm trekking through a NOES marathon, and I finished Freddy's Dead. And I dig the song by Iggy Pop at the end (and obviously we have Dokken for Part 3), and then it dawned on me, outside of the James Bond songs/theme, which most are balls mahoney, when is the last time a band/musician made a song for a movie? Obviously musicals don't count. I'm sure I'm just not thinking of em, but we used to do that shit back in the 80's and 90s.

It's a good question when did that stop? Disney and Pixar movies still do it but I cant think of anything else.

I figured you'd dig the question more than most, Tigg, because I also know you're in the Bond camp where most those themes are garbage. The last song I'm reminded of is Limp Bizkit's Take a Look Around from 2000, for MI:2. And again they were going for a Bond thing, but I'll take it.

I only dislike a few Bond songs and hate one

All the recent ones are garbage.

Irony/weird coincidence, one of the last big songs written for a movie I can remember is Goo Goo Dolls Iris, who also wrote a song for Freddy's Dead. I dig both songs, btw. Goo Goo gets too much shit.

One of the last non bond/Disney/Pixar/Musical ones I can remember is Aerosmith/Armageddon's I Don't Wanna Miss A Thing

I thought of too, but Aersomith just aped it, written by Diane Warren not about the movie at all.

Just remembered while on the shitter, U2/Gangs of New York

Iris wasn't about City of Angels at all either (unless you were thinking about another Goo Goo Dolls song that I'm not aware of for a movie)

Didn't one of the guys from Nickleback do a Spider-man song? I remember it just being really mediocre, but now I can't even think of a band/rocker writing songs for movies past 2002.

I also didn't think of Annie Lennox for Return of the King because it wasn't a rock song/band sort of thing. That was more of the traditional singer/Josh Grobin/Celin Dion sort of thing.

Didn't Metallica do a song for one of the Mission Impossible movies?

Those motherfuckers ape that too?

Yeah, MI:2.

Just looked at the Spider-man 2 soundtrack and didn't recognize a damn thing lol. Other than two tracks dedicated to Danny Elfman's awesome score. Guess studios stopped pushing that sort of thing by that point.

U2 don't count for nothing.

Nah, I remember Reznick talking about how he wrote that in a deep depression, and everything just came out (guitar, lyrics, everything). The movie Studio decided to use it later.

That was just Nickleback getting thrown on the soundtrack and they did a music video.

Annie Lennox counts, I'd think.

Humans Beings & Respect The Wind are still great contributions from Van Halen for Twister (though I'm not sure if HB was written for it or not, but Respect Was...but not a songy-song)

Then fuck that one too.

I'm talking Dream Warriors, here, motherfuckers get in the studio and throw down a jam specifically for the movie.
