Default Heavy Metal Movie Stars

Calling all Metalheads!

With Nothing Left To Fear coming out next month - a film with an incredible soundtrack from Slash - what other movies or TV shows have you seen that star a heavy metal icon?

Anybody heard the news that Judas Priest is appearing in The Simpsons? ! From Ozzy to Kiss, what films spring to mind?

Detroit Rock City (1999).

Teen comedy set in the seventies. Essentially its a road trip by four slackers, one of them being Edward Furlong, who try to scam their way into a Kiss concert at Detroit's Cobo Hall.

It's a lot of fun for fans of seventies music, Kiss especially. The band make an appearance towards the end with some fine live footage.

Wanted Dead or Alive (1986).

Kiss were essentially a Paul Stanley solo project during the mid eighties, the reason being Gene Simmons was lured by the mighty dollars of Hollywood and hadn't much creative influence over the band at all, basically singing his parts then heading off again.

Wanted Dead or Alive was the best of Simmons movie projects. In it he plays a terrorist, Malak Al Rahim, who is in the States plotting a dastardly deed. Rutger Hauer plays the CIA man attempting to track him down.

Wanted Dead or Alive is a very good action film that has stood the test of time and doesn't deteriorate with repeated viewing.

'Trick or Treat' features Ozzy Osbourne, and of course 'Tenacious D and the pick of destiny' featuring Dio and Dave Grohl.

Ozzy AND Gene Simmons in Trick or Treat, and Meat Loaf appeared in TD&TPOD too, if memory serves?

Also don't forget The Dungeonmaster, which features a scene with W.A.S.P.
Or Chester Bennington of Linkin Park in Saw: The Final Chapter and Crank 2.
I'm half tempted to also include the Punk Rock Holocaust films, which feature a bunch of pop punk/ska/punk rock/psychobilly bands getting maimed horribly.

Thought there was someone else in 'Trick' but haven't seen it for years, and how could i forget Meatloaf, love that scene.
And as were talking about Meatloaf he was in 'Rocky Horror picture show' too and i think in quite a few other films too.
