If Hellboy had a soundtrack......

[HB666]

If Hellboy had a soundtrack, what bands do you think would work well for it? I know sometimes I like to listen to music while reading the comics, So I was just thinking. Here is my list of hopefuls.

1. Breaking Benjamin
2. KMFDM
3. Dimmu Borgir
4. Strata
5. Cold
6. Lollipop Lust Kill
7. Nick Cave (obviously)
8. Dave Matthews Band
9. Mudvayne
10. HIM
11. Rammstein
12. Killswitch Engage
13. Dope


Well there is mine. Love it or hate it. What are your thoughts on a soundtrack for HB?

[E. Spears]

Hellboy would NOT listen to Dimmu Borgir. Nevernever not EVER.

That being said....

Tom Waits.
Joy Division.
King Crimson.
The Kills (maybe).
Echo and the Bunnymen (maybe).

*SIGH* I'm getting old, the only ones I know from the above two lists are Dave Matthews Band,Rammstein and Tom Waits.Tom waits is the only one I like and associate with HB ( this is most likely due to the fact that Ron Perlman bears a marked resemblance to Mr. Waits, and waits sings about the dead all the time). I suspect HB's musical tastes are pretty dated, considering his age and world weariness. just a thought.

[jscott]

I'm so out of the loop on music lately, but sometimes when I read Hellboy or look at Mignola artwork, I tend to hear:

Morphine (lots of them)
Tom Waits
Klint
Max Roach
Buddy Rich Orchestra
David Holmes

And there you are...

[HBMomma]

No, no, no, Hellboy listens to Metallica, mostly the older stuff. Damage Inc., Wherever I May Roam, For Whom the Bell Tolls...

Trust me on this one, I'm sure of it. He's been a fan right from the start. He even helped them work out an issue with a haunted tour bus once. :D

[Celtic_Fiddler]

Deja vu all over again. Didn't another thread have this topic? Maybe I'm getting old.

I think that H.B. would listen to Tom Waits, heavy metal, and 1960's Motown - but in my heart of hearts, I'd hope he liked Mars (http://www.aquarianage.org/lore/files/mars.mid) from Gustav Holst: The Planets Suite. Maybe that's because it's the soundtrack in my mind when I'm reading H.B.

This is a poor rendition of it; I'm only submitting it just to give you an idea. I highly recommend buying a decent recording.

Holst rocks!

[E. Spears]

yeah, we've had this thread before. but it's always fun.

[Ming]

i think he'd listen more to classic rock w/a mix of classical music mixed in,rather than modern or alternative music.remember he was brought up by a british guy ;)

[Ken O]

He's 50+. Adjust accordningly. ;)

Turn that blasted music down you whippersnappers!! And stay off my lawn!


*Gets ready to dodge the slings and arrows from other board members.*

[hellboyone]

Far too many new bands in that list, 666. Remember: Big Red was born in the 40s. That said, I'll have to wait 'til I get home to do this list. Hell, I may end up with a nice mix cd after this exercise. :)

[Bailzzararco]

He seems like a Men at Work kind of guy to me. Anyone else remember that kick ass video with the animated GI Joes, to "it's a mistake?" But other than that I would guess he would like whatever music his "dad" played for him, which I am guessing is more along the lines of classical artists like Beethoven, Wagner and Bach, but I don't know. I don't know it as well as you guys do.

in my heart of hearts, I'd hope he liked Mars (http://www.aquarianage.org/lore/files/mars.mid) from Gustav Holst: The Planets Suite. Maybe that's because it's the soundtrack in my mind when I'm reading H.B.
Holst rocks!

Andrea

Ha Ha! Cool, Fiddler, that's exactly what I imagined while reading. In fact, I had to go play it at the time.

[Anakin]

Umm, HB probably grew up listening to Elvis.

And I'm not sure if he'd like the themesong I wrote for him: http://www.arsmagicae.com/hellboy.html

[Brisco]

Johnny Cash.

[citymadeofash]

Johnny Cash.
Definitely Cash, and definitely Tom Waits .... probably some choice old blues (ie: Robert Johnson, Leadbelly, Blind Lemmon Jefferson)

[Jerome]

Here's a tune (a Herman Tune !) that consistently make Hellboy pictures spring to my mind - you know those wonderfully weird Mignola pictures of still animals in the wild ; now do I imagine them calling his name ?

Anyway it's there - and I love it ; the second song, "Your name my game" :

The last verse especially is very...

Enjoy,
Jerome

[PaddyN]

Tom Waits
Johnny Cash
John Lee Hooker
Nick Cave
The Clash
Joe Strummer And the Mescaleros
Bruce Springsteen

At least that's what I picture HB listening to. Funny how HB listens to all of the stuff that I like!:D

[Myron L]

The ONLY music to set Hellboy to would be ANYthing by my metal god ....RONNIE JAMES DIO !

"...on and on and on...it's Heaven and Hell ! "

[E. Spears]

I'm revising my initial list. HB'd listen to good stuff like:

Modest Mouse (the Lonesome Crowded West era MM)
Mothers of Invention
A Black Rose Burial
Every Time I Die (especially their first albums)
Tom Waits
Maylene and the Sons of Disaster
Mastodon

mhmm.

[Sparky]

Sheesh...everybody knows that Hellboy loves:

BANANARAMA.

Link Wray

[Bailzzararco]

They were also a yummy cookie.

[Mike Cross]

Glenn Miller
Lawrence Welk
Johnny Cash
Amarok by Mike Oldfield
Elvis Presley
The Andrews Sisters

[Zabalou]

Some Pearl Jam
The earliers Jackons Five
Some Rolling Stones
Glen Miller -i agree-
The Vines
The Red Hot Chilli Peppers
All Jack Johnson
Some Sinatra
And some old blues from the New Orleans

That's what i think he would like to listen

[Vakanai]

Blue Oyster Cult!


...What? I'm old school.

[elhuevosupremo]

Tom Waits hands down. Especially Orphans.


---If you haven't heard a band called FANTOMAS, check out their album called DIRECTOR'S CUT....Definitely makes me think of Conquerer Worm and Dr. Carp's Experiment.

[Jankenstein]

Sheesh...everybody knows that Hellboy loves:

BANANARAMA.

So are you saying that's the music they play in Hell? :D

(grins, ducks, and runs)

I can just see Kajagoogoo as the opening act.

[Jankenstein]

They retired after Conan O'Brien stole their hairdo.

[morrigane]

Hello,
I think that Hellboy was Very Fond Of Tom Waits, His voice, his vocal univers :)
and perhaps Elvis too (but the Elvis of Bubba otep )Héhé!:D

[morrigane]

Here's a tune (a Herman Tune !) that consistently make Hellboy pictures spring to my mind - you know those wonderfully weird Mignola pictures of still animals in the wild ; now do I imagine them calling his name ?

HELLO, French guy Here too,
Welcome on board, so what about some french song for the big guy ...
can't think of something to tired.

MAybe some Souchon very poetic
...

[morrigane]

Yeah!
Thanks a lot , "ami de la cote Sud", I 'm very happy to see you;) , juste one think(It's "her" for me:cool: , but never mind), I'm able to think perhaps song Thiéfaine could be seduce our "Red guy" favorite.
Or a group, but something cool et "decontracté" but non "GNANGNAN"(boring )
Dionysos ;D
Are you agree with me?;)

[Zabalou]

Yeah!
Dionysos ;D
Are you agree with me?;)

Yes so clear when you say so Mademoiselle,
the spirit of Mathias's songs from Dyonysos fit so well to all this magical things.


Toute la poésie du groupe, tout le décalage et cet esprit rock qui décoiffe puissament avec un arriére gout de yukulélé, ouais ça cole parfaitement à l'esprit.

.........Lynard Shynard and Mongomery Gentry......
.............Heard them play together thought they were great............
