14 Things You Didn't Know About The Crow Soundtrack

As a young lad, I was obsessed with this movie, and played the soundtrack constantly.
The "Favorite Soundtracks" thread reminded me of this article I read a while back Revolver Magazine
1. The Cure's "Burn" was recorded by just the band's frontman Robert Smith and drummer Boris Williams
2. Machines of Loving Grace read the screenplay of The Crow before writing "Golgotha Tenement Blues" and created the song to fit the film
3. Stone Temple Pilots originally planned to contribute a different song than "Big Empty" to the soundtrack, but switched gears after Brandon Lee's death
4. Nine Inch Nails' Joy Division cover ("Dead Souls") is a Crow soundtrack standout, but according to Peter Hook, the former members of Joy Division were originally asked to cover the band
5. Rage Against the Machine's "Darkness" dates back to Zack de la Rocha's pre-RATM band Inside Out
6. Violent Femmes had written "Color Me Once" before they were asked to contribute in The Crow soundtrack, but based on what they heard about the movie, they thought it would fit
7. The song "Ghost Rider" is based on the Marvel comic-book character, but Henry Rollins was not a fan of the "motorcycle hero ... blazin' away"
8. Helmet's "Milktoast" is an alternate version of the band's "Milquetoast" recorded with Nevermind producer Butch Vig, who played a big part in the outcome of both versions
9. Pantera not only paid tribute to hardcore crew Poison Idea with their cover of "The Badge," but they also took influence from the group on Far Beyond Driven
10. For Love Not Lisa were initially reluctant to be part of The Crow soundtrack because they thought it was going to be "crappy kung-fu movie"
11. My Life With the Thrill Kill Kult shot their brief but memorable cameo in The Crow, playing their song "After the Flesh" "10 thousand times" in a freezing cold abandoned cement factory over two days
12. Despite being released on the Jesus and Mary Chains' The Sound of Speed compilation months before its appearance on The Crow soundtrack, "Snakedriver" was written for the movie
13. Medicine's "Time Baby III" features the Cocteau Twins' Elizabeth Fraser and is titled "III" because there are, in fact, three versions of the song
14. Jane Siberry's "It Can't Rain All the Time" was co-written by Graeme Revell, who scored the movie and was also the mainstay member of Eighties industrial outfit SPK

That soundtrack was probably the best compilation of rock/alternative music in the 90s that's ever been made. I wore that album out when it came out. I loved the movie, but the music was a big part of why.

I wore this album out in the 90s.
Saw The Cure live a couple of weekends ago and was pleasantly surprised when they played Burn. Told Mrs TTown (no pics) where the song was from and we played the soundtrack on our way home from the concert. Probably the first time that I listened to it in 15+ years.

Imagine a band as fricking huge as For Love Not Lisa considering turning down a spot on this soundtrack because of their ignorance about the movie.

Meh. The only song I didn't really like was "It Can't Rain All the Time."

funny because I love that song. Burn is the standout for me (top 5 favorite Cure song), but for whatever reason ICRATT grabs me.
