Great Balls of Fire: Difference between revisions

Line 59:

** The [[Made for TV Movie]] ''KISS Meets The Phantom Of The Park'' actually did cast the band as [[The Power of Rock|hard rockin', god-like superheroes]].

* Pretty much anything by Quiet Riot and [[Iron Maiden (Music)|Iron Maiden]].

* Poison videos utilized not only pyro, but also [[~~Everythings~~ Better With Sparkles|glitter and confetti]].

* Poison videos utilized not only pyro, but also [[Everything's Better With Sparkles|glitter and confetti]].

* [[Bon Jovi]]'s video for "You Give Love a Bad Name" has GBOF all the way through.

* [[Queensryche]]'s "Building Empires" tour featured wall-sized twin projection screens on which relevant imagery could be displayed. These screens were a hold-over from the videos for their previous album, ''[[Operation Mindcrime]]'', and were utilized in a presentation of ''Mindcrime'' in its entirety (this formed the basis of the ''Operation:Livecrime'' video and album set).

Line 111:

== Fictional Examples ==

* Parodied rather fiercely in the [[Discworld]] novel ''[[Discworld (Literature)/Soul Music|Soul Music]]'', where most of the bands that spring up in the wake of The Band With Rocks In are absolutely dreadful, because they think Music With Rocks In is about the image rather than actually being able to play music. This is especially true of a quartet of teenagers known as Crash, Jimbo, Scum, and Noddy, who can't even decide on a name for their band for more than a day or two at most and don't even have the talent to be [[So Bad ~~Its~~ Good]].

** Hell, they didn't even have the talent to rate as the other reaction. Horrible music would at least have ''been'' music.

* ''[[The Hitchhikers Guide to The Galaxy (Literature)|The Hitchhikers Guide to The Galaxy]]'' has Disaster Area, a plutonium rock band from the Gagrakacka Mind Zones, whose concerts are so loud and overblown that they typically end up killing everything within forty miles, especially anybody unfortunate enough to be aboard the ship that crashes into the sun. In at least one case, a concert of theirs even turns a desert planet into a lush paradise. The Guide notes that real fans prefer to listen to the concerts from inside nuclear proof bunkers, 50 km away, underground while wearing ear plugs.
