Two other God awful 80's b grade exploitation films "Rock n' Roll Nightmare" and "Hard Rock Zombies". What about "Wayne's World"? Does that count? Tia's band covers "Ballroom Blitz" though not as good as Sweet, Alice Cooper does "Feed My Frankenstein" and the soundtrack has Cinderella among other glam bands that had only one song ever. Not only that it had the same director as the "Downfall of Western Civilization Parts one and two (the metal one I saw with my dad when I was a kid).

Speaking of "Rock n' Roll Nightmare" it stars the 70's wrestler who went by the name of John Mikl Thor. Infact in the 70's him and a back up band did a cover of a Sweet on the "Merv Griffin Show". He then went on to do Glam/Power Metal in the 80's, his band name being of course Thor! The soundtrack is his band and his music! In the movie the band's name is Triton, along with their girlfriends they try to make music and love in a isolated farm house. But (Cue the spooky music) the place is haunted by demons from hell and they start to take over each member of the band, except for Thor of course who ends up having to joust it out with Satan himself. When I saw this film I laughed my ass off at how bad it was but it is still in my book a glam classic.

Man I hate to post three times on this topic but this was too good to pass up. What about the lame box office bomb George Lucas wouldn't put to DVD because of how embarrassed he was by it? "Howard the Duck"! Howard was a record exec from another dimension that gets sucked into our world, and he was a talking duck! In it he strikes up a disturbing relationship with the lead singer of a hair metal band played by Lea Thompson. I forgot the name of the band but Lea was lip synching to a glam song and her band I think wasn't even playing their instruments.

I loooooved Velvet Goldmine. It annoyed me a little how much it had copied from real life stories, but I still loved it. Jonathan Rhys Meyers was such a babe. Hahaha.
And Ewan McGregor will always be one of my favourite actors.

In "Pretty Woman" there was no glam music playing, but Vivian (Julia Roberts, of course) had RATT poster in her room.
