Those experiences inform how they look at everyday life, not to mention how they should approach their dreams of being musicians. During the course of the film, they’re tasked with discovering the importance of being educated in not only history, but life as well. ![]() We’re all passionate about something and what Bill & Ted represent is that love and dedication to a dream, sometimes to a fault. This might seem silly to some, and it is, but there’s a sense of youthful naïveté in the guys that feels so relatable to anyone who has had dreams of being something special, but not knowing how to achieve those dreams. Like most young musicians, the passion overshadows the work, the duo work at creating a music video without knowing how to play a single song, no drummer or bass player, and without much talent as well. How we meet Bill & Ted shows how out of touch they are with the realities of being a professional musician and how to get there. In 1989’s Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure, we meet the duo knee-deep in their dreams of not only being in a successful band, but more importantly to them, wanting to be good enough to score Eddie Van Halen as a member of their Wyld Stallyns band. We thought we’d take a look at the driving force between all three films and the one thing that fuels two of our favorite characters around: the love for all things metal. There is such an affinity for the music which drives them, that true to from, it takes a while to realize that your love for the music that moves you should serve as a catalyst to succeed, instead of being the thing that holds you back. What drives Bill and Ted throughout the entire series isn’t smoking and scoring pot, no, it’s a sincere, genuine love for rock and roll. and Ted “Theodore” Logan are your run-of-the-mill, cliché-laden stoners, that’s never been the case. While many jump to the assumption that, like Cheech & Chong, Bill S. There’s something special about the characters Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter brought to life (thanks to some excellent writing from Ed Solomon and Chris Matheson), something that allowed viewers to immediately latch onto the absent-minded, but well-intended metalhead duo. The version of “God Gave Rock ‘n Roll to You II” is not the one that plays at the film’s end as it lacks the intro by Steve Vai and the sound of girls chanting the chorus as the song fades to end.With Bill & Ted Face the Music finally upon us, it’s such a great feeling to revisit two of the most lovable characters around. Both songs were released one month prior on Neverland’s self-titled debut album. However the intro from “Drinking Again” was used for a television promo for the film. Neverland’s song “Drinking Again” was not used in the film, but was a substitute for another Neverland song “For the Love (of Music)”. The Winger track “Battle Stations” was written by front man Kip Winger after reading the script for the film and recorded shortly after the band returned from their first European tour. ![]() “Shout it Out” was recorded while Slaughter was on the road during their Stick It Live tour. Many of the contributing artists have a cameo of some form in the film. Many of these songs, such as Faith No More’s “The Perfect Crime” and Megadeth’s “Go To Hell”, help paint the darker tone of the film. It was released by Interscope Records on July 9, 1991. ![]() Bill & Ted’s Bogus Journey: Music from the Motion Picture is the soundtrack to the 1991 Orion Pictures film Bill & Ted’s Bogus Journey.
