Unexpected Rock/Metal Movie & TV Usage

In Ernest Goes to Camp, there as an Iron Maiden poster in one of the campground houses.

Coincidentally, in Ernest Scared Stupid, "Seventh son of a seventh son" is said (nothing to do with the album, though), and in Ernest Rides Again, Ernest almost puts himself in an iron maiden.

On the most recent episode of Legends of Tommorow, they played Montrose's "I've got the Fire" during a fight scene.

I'm watching the Bob's Burgers episode Can't Buy Me Math and in it Bob does a striptease for his wife to AC/DC''s The Jack.

I just saw a K-Mart commercial where Valentine's Day shoppers are being followed around the store by a hair metal band playing a power ballad. The ad's slogan is "Love Rocks."

The singer in the commercial is in a real band...

My wife was watching the celebrity medium show as I walked by the office and the guy they were working with was Kevin Dubrow's brother. He told a story of QR selling out Madison Square Garden in 1983 and how he was backstage. I guess he was trying to contact Kevin or something.

On tonight's episode of Supernatural, the show was based around pro wrestling and one of the wrestler's entrance music was Tesla's Modern Day Cowboy.

The new Xfinity commercial features a bastardized version of Twisted Sister's 'We're Not Gonna Take It' with a cameo from Dee at the end...

I was flipping channels last night and saw both the Simpson's with REM and the American Dad episde with Satriani's "Always with Me, Always with You" song.

In the series finale of Mythbusters, they ran a montage of show highlights with Joey Ramone's version of 'What A Wonderful World'.

I always really liked that show.

On the Goldbergs last night, a trio of the female characters did a cover of Rush's Tom Sawyer.

While on my daily walk this afternoon I walked past a "beater" car parked by the curb and when I glanced into it I saw...

KISS "Love Gun" seat covers!!!!!!

I know Gene tries to make as much money off the KISS name as possible but whoever heard of album-specific car seat covers??????

I don't know, but I like it. I'd buy them.

AC/DC's 'Rock and Roll Ain't Noise Pollution' is being used in a series of Applebee's commercials.

These DirectTV commercials with Jon Bon Jovi crack me up.  I never really like Bon Jovi's music very much but the look he gives the camera at the end of both commercials kills me.

"That's the power to turn back time...." *sly, knowing look at the camera*

Yea, that was pretty funny. I was also surprised to see Jon going so gray. Good for him not trying to paint his head.

San Jose had Metallica perform the National Anthem at last nights Stanley Cup playoff game.

Sadly, It didn't help.........

Anybody see the Steven Tyler Skittles commercial yet?

Watching the Red Sox and Rangers and I could swear that Prince Fielder's walk up music is "Walk" by Pantera.

The cartoon show Uncle Grandpa had the Melvins guest star. However, since im not familiar with their music (though it sounded good enough to check out), i dont know what song they played, they kept repeating "keep it underground", but a google search didnt come up with anything.

Not tv, but I saw this in Barnes & Noble a few weeks ago...



Mad Libs all centered around Aerosmith lore. Kinda strange. Even stranger is that KISS hasn't done this already. Gene must be slipping in his old age.

My kids were watching Nickelodeon last night and a promo for the new season of their "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" cartoon used "New York Groove" as background music. I was in the other room so I couldn't hear it clearly enough to tell if it was Ace Frehley's version or the original by Hello, though.

Just heard Whitesnake's "Here I Go Again" in a Walmart back-to-school commercial!
