Songs about Blade Runner....
Being a fan of heavy metal (a genre that often incorporates stories of
sci-fi and fantasy into its music), I have come across a few songs that are directly about blade runner and its world.
Human- White Zombie
This song was popular about 10 years ago. The chorus is "more human than human" and there is a line towards the end " I am a Nexus one, I want more life fucker I aint done yet". Also I saw Rod Zombie (lead singer) on VH1 with a really cool Blade Runner hat, the rep-detect symbol I believe.
Time what is time- Blind Guardian
This is a German Speed/Power metal band (they are also quite excellent).
This song is entirely about Blade Runner and it can be found on their album "Somewhere Far Beyond" I strongly recommend it.
Also Iron Maiden's 1986 album "Somewhere in Time" features cover art work directly inspired by the film. The back of the cover sleeve even has buildings labeled "Bradbury" and "Tyrell Corp.". Also another awesome album.
Anyone else know any Blade Runner influences in the music world?
