Rockers rule   673 #14 Posted March 20, 2021 Alice Cooper's concept album.  'Alice Cooper goes to Hell' would make one wacky musical  Excellent songs, music & lyrics.  Keep safe while i'm out chasing rainbows. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

I'm amazed that no one's ever attempted 'Ziggy'. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

That's why he's lasted in the game for decades 😀. I'm with you on 'Goes To Hell'. Beyond a musical, I'm thinking gritty drama. You can imagine the scenes for 'Didn't We Meet' (any episode of 'Lucifer') and 'Give The Kid A Break' (that's series 6 of 'Buffy' - or even a 1985 'Hill Street Blues').  'From The Inside' would definitely make a riveting film, but it's probably all been done in 'One Flew Over a Cuckoo's Nest'.

metalman   21 #17 Posted March 20, 2021 Queensryche's Operation Mindcrime would be ideal. As would The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway by Genesis and 2112 by Rush. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Not listened to 'Mindcrime' in decades. Good call with the other 2. '2112' is begging for a film adaptation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Mr Allen   0 #23 Posted April 29, 2021 Some of Meat Loaf's classic videos were epic, especially "I'd do anything for love (but I won't do that)", and I reckon they could turn the new Bat out of hell musical into a movie, meh, they did it for Abba, twice!   Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
