Just in terms of the enjoyment or the LOLZ so don't try and find that 5 second clip where Rufus from Negative Spunky Pigeon walked past a tree in some ultra hip Bulgarian arthouse flick, K?

You can't really beat...
Red Hot Chili Peppers in 'Point Break' but Pearl Jam in 'Singles' is up there.
Is it all of the Chilis or just Kiedis?
or Flea in Back to the Future
as Needles!
And in Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas!
And the Big Lebowski as well actually. He's made quite a few cameos has Flea.
Flea...
And he's in Training Day!
I remember them
being in Thrashin' - brings my skating years flooding back.
The Offspring in that film with the possessed hand
mostly because they die in it. And Tom DeLonge (long before becoming the wanker he now is) also has a cameo
^^ Idle Hands
yeah that was funny. the main dude got his scalp ripped off on stage. classic.
Obviously
it is Aerosmith in Wayne's World 2.
or Pet Shop Boys
in Neighbours (not technically a film)
Meat Loaf
in Wayne's World
Meat Loaf
in Rocky Horror Picture Show.
nick cave
popping up in wings of desire is truly astonishing
http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=ZS_GagmpfvU
^this
you beat me to it.
Can't think of any films
but The Ramones in The Simpsons (complete with "have the Rolling Stones killed" punchine) and Beck in Futurama are both pretty funny (OK the latter isn't a band and it isn't a movie...)
L7 in Serial Mom
purely for the trouser modifications - they played a band called Camel Toes...
Check the rhyming becktionary!
That was a washboard break.
The Ramones
Rock And Roll Highschool.
Not a film
but wasn't Boy George in the A-Team once?
The Clash
on the street in 'The King Of Comedy' by Martin Scorsese is pretty unbeatable. Great film, by the way, to those that haven't seen it. Very underrated and my favourite De Niro performance.
And I can't believe no-one's mentioned Flea in The Big Lebowski - "VE VILL CUT OFF YOUR CHONSOHN!!!"
yes he was,
and he was high as a kite. you could tell. It's amazing viewing
hah!
Yeah I remember the last scene of that A-Team episode when Culture Club are jamming it out in some redneck bar, and all these fat bearded cowboy hat wearing hillbillies were slapping their thighs to it.
Even Mr T seemed starstruck by Boy George.
What a chump.
Cannibal Corpse in Ace Ventura
^This
Primus in Bill and Ted. Haha!
Reel Big Fish In BASEketball
Blink 182 in American Pie
Alice Cooper in Wayne's World
forgot abut blink 182 in amercian pie!
Are they on the webcam or something?
Labrinth!!!!
bowiebowiebowie
ok it was an individual performance, but still clasic
how has no one said...
the big lebowski. it might not contain the full band, but still... come on.
just noticed
ashstreath85 has said it. how about flea in back to the future. does that make up for it?
any David Bowie answer is cheating
In fact, any musician-turned-actor (or vice versa*) in a proper role is cheating. That said, David Bowie in The Prestige. Fucking legendary. Like the rest of the film.
* trick question: which of these applies to Paris Hilton?
neither
she's vegetable, not animal therefore counts as props.
Bowie, fucking terrible actor. Into The Night and Fire Walk With Me... uuurgh, in fact, I would like to see him and Jagger remake grumpy old men. in about five years time.
fucking hell
weren't GWAR in Empire Records...?
Also, not very out there but enough to make me sob into my cardigan are Afghan Whigs in Beautiful Girls doing Be For Real and Buffalo Tom soundtracking the last episode of My So Called Life (yes, tv, hush)
Sparks
in 'Rollercoaster'.
Which was in Sensurroud so you could feel like you were on a rollercoaster ride when you watched it in selected cinemas.
GWAR!!!
i watched empire records last night. ahhh i love that film. If only Rex Manning was a REAL musician. ha ha ha..
Empire Records...
Coyote Shivers (who played Berko) was a real musician - and the song he did at the end of Empire Records with Renee Zellweger was on his album.
Berko has to be my
least favourite character in Empire Records.
yeah i wasn't a massive fan of Gina's contribution to 'sugar high' though!
coyote shivers goood. the soundtrack is amazing. so much missing from it though.
Hey Mark!
You love GWAR! Why don't you join the band! You play a mean guitar man... it's a shame you must DIE!!!
'I love you Eddy'
Hey, Lucas. I've decided I'm going to start a band.
Lucas: The first thing you need is a name. Then you'll know what kind of band you've got.
Mark: Right, right. I was thinking about, um, Marc. How does that sound?
Lucas: Is that with a C or with a K?
Mark: Well my name is with a K, so I was thinking my band's name could be with a C. That way it's kind of that psychedelic, you know, trip thing.
Lucas: Always play with their minds.
INCREDIBLE! I Love this movie.
not a film
but does anyone remember when Anthrax were in Married With Children?
As for films, Jonathan Richman in 'There's Something About Mary' is my favorite by miles.
again not a film
but im sure Mark E Smith is in the johnny vegas bbc show ideal
he plays jesus christ
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qdYBvwq3Mq4
brilliant.
Well, to be fair
This isn't a cameo as he's a pretty important person in the film. Which i absolutely LOVE.
Another great Bowie would be in Zoolander - when he judges the walk-off
Gotta love Bowie!
Flea from RHCP
in Back To The Futre
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E3RbOIk3nBo
SHUT UP RHCP ARE AMAZING AND I WAS GOING TO MENTION THIS
Oh god keuno reaves is terriblee
i've only just realised
Korn voicing themselves in South Park...
i know, i know, it's not a movie but having Korn play 'I Spy' and being Scooby Doo-esque characters was hilarious
ha ha!
YES!
Also, when Jonathan Davis is scalping tickets to the Lestat gig in Queen of the Damned! So funny!
And Radiohead!
In the Scott Tenorman episode. Genius.
iam williams
of don cab/battles in high fidelity
Mark Kozelek
from Red house Painters/Sun Kil Moon as the bass player in Almost Famous.
His line about hot wings is the best in the film.
MIND = BLOWN
Polyphonic spree on scrubs
TV again. but inspired.
huey lewis
in back to the future 1!!!
.
RZA and GZA in Coffee and Cigarettes, easily.
oh damn you beat me to it!
ha.
/\ totally this /\
movie fact: as huey lewis is judging marti mcflys band for the school dance, guess who plays marti's backing band? ......yup, THE NEWS.
amazing.
Burt Bacharach in Austin Powers
Hilarious.
Coffee & Cigarettes
This film has cameos by:
Tom Waits
Iggy Pop
Two of the Wu-tang Clan (GZA and RZA)
among others. also an excellent film.
Damn! That don't sound too good Bill Murray!
^^ coffee and cigarettes
is not an excellent film, it's an incredibly dull one, except for the RZA and GZA bit.
i disagree.
i thought it was briliantly awkward and charming.
less a camero
more a main part:
Beck in Futurama
or his part in Southlander with Beth Order and Hank Williams the 3rd.
its got to be
Green day in the simpsons movie, thats like well funny.
Seriously though, (i know its not film, but) Alex Lifeson (from rush) in Trailer Park Boys.
Billy Idol
in some film when hes on the plane at the end.
Also...
Billy Idol in The Wedding Singer
Black Flag
in 'The Decline Of Western Civilization'. They even play themselves.
I seem to remember
Brian Molko being in a film and it being quite rotten.
I ain't a fan of Sting but he didn't grate as much as usual in Quadrophenia (possibly because there was no reggae-tinged rock involved).
that would be velvet goldmine
lolz!
Certainly not a fav but Damon Albarn
is more wooden than Keira Knightley in this 'brit flick'.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0119092/
I was once told that
The Flaming Lips were in an episode of Beverley Hills 90210. Anyone know if this is true?
i read that somewhere.
True
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uJC6GWZGswY
They also more bizarely were on charmed
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6jNolMnDr0o&feature=related
Alice Cooper in Waynes World
RZA in 'ghost dog'
with forrest whittaker.
a winner every time.
"yo ghost dog- knowledge and quality"
top
film
great soundtrack
The guy from Faith No More
In Bill & Ted
White Zombie
In Airheads with Brendan Fraser and Adam Sandler
Has to be
The Donnas (as the Electrocutes) in Drive Me Crazy. It doesn't get any better then playing the band at the high school prom.
Meatloaf
in Fight Club
" I used to be a juicer"
Chester Bennington
of Linkin Park fame in Crank.
"This'll get you tweaked."
That movie is one of my cinematic Guilty Pleasures
When 'New Noise' by Refused kicks in at the start i get an action stiffy.
/\beat me to it/\
brilliant bit of a brilliant film
Ozzy Osbourne
Biting the guy's head off in Little Nicky was quiet special!
Ozzy Osbourne
in Trick or Treat is not so good.... worst horror film since house of wax...
Ludacris in Crash.
was pretty good!
Frank Zappa in Miami Vice

Mark Kozelek in Almost Famous
Pearl Jam in Singles
