[Invisible_man]

just a random topic. I know that Jon Bon Jovi was in a few flicks. Anyone else?

I like Don Johnson's music releases (Heartbeat, Voice on the phone, Lost in your eyes).

Ron Young from "Little Caesar" was the bikie/biker who hits Arnie with a billiard cue in the beginning of "Terminator II".

 

Flea's been in a few - "Dudes", "Back to the future" and bandmate Anthony Kiedis was in "Point Break".

 

There are heaps of Rock artists who have played themselves in movies.

This is one of my favourites.

Gene Simmons was in a few wasn't he? I remember 1 in particular with him and Rutger Hauer called Wanted:Dead Or Alive & opposite Tom Sellecks moustache in Runaway

Few rockers appeared as band members in Rockstar (2001) including Blas Elias, Jeff Pilson, and Zakk Wylde if i'm not mistaken

The mighty JLT in Blue de Ville(1986)!

 

Of course I'd love to see him also in Heavenly Kid in which he only performs one of my all time favorite tracks (Heartless). I was ready to make the ultimate AOR compilation in spotify (999 songs) with this as opener, but it's not there yet...
