Kiss god gave rock and roll to you video movie#
The big performance in Bill and Ted’s Bogus Journey seemed to wrap up the movie series quite nicely, but Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter (now an accomplished documentary filmmaker) have been pushing for a third move for years.

Drummer Eric Carr was deathly ill from heart cancer when they recorded it, and was only able to contribute backing vocals. It was the most attention a new Kiss song had gotten in quite some time, but it came at a very dark time for the band. Kiss modified the lyrics to the point where they felt compelled to change the title to “God Gave Rock ‘N’ Roll To You II,” but the message of rock music as a unifying force remains. They then break out Kiss’ cover of Argent’s 1973 tune “God Gave Rock and Roll To You” with a new guitar solo by Steve Vai. We never hear a note of this actual music until the very end of 1991’s Bill and Ted’s Bogus Journey – when our heroes return from “16 months of intensive guitar training” to finally play one of these magical songs we’ve heard so much about. Throughout both Bill and Ted movies, the titular teenage metalheads are presented as little more than dim slackers barely able to play their instruments, even though we learn they’ll one day make music so righteous that it will put an end to famine and war, uniting the planet and ushering in a new utopia for mankind.
