I hadn’t heard that about Bryan Adams, though I do remember that one of the members of Loverboy refused to perform on the group’s “Top Gun” track, “Heaven in Your Eyes,” for pretty much the same anti-military reason attributed to Adams.

And *I* just lost lots!

Fun, huh?

It’s just as well Alice didn’t get his version in…it’s really kind of a weak song. Muscle of Love, in general, is pretty weak, which is particularly disappointing, coming as it does between Billion Dollar Babies and Welcome To My Nightmare.

While you’re on the topic, how about REM’s “Winged Mammal Theme”?

‘Top Gun’ is one of the worst and most overrated films ever, just a horrible piece of Tony Scott fluff. And that music is so unbelievably bland and indicative of Reagan-era horridness… Bryan Adams, as full of awful fluff as he was, made a good move in not participating.

The scene in Top Gun where “Playing With The Boys” is played, by the way, is one of the most homoerotic scenes in the history of film.

“the searing pages of Reader’s Digest!” Wow. First and last time that phrase was ever used.

That dripping black stain on the “Unchained” poster somehow seems very sinister to me.

And I just gained major respect for Bryan Adams!

I had first read of Alice Cooper doing a song for the movie “The Man With The Golden Gun” in Bob Greene’s book about singing backup on Cooper’s album and going on tour “Billion Dollar Babies”. As it was told in the book, Cooper saw the previous Bond movie and saw the last credit declaring that “James Bond will return in Man With The Golden Gun” and thought it would be cool to write and perform a song that would be considered for the theme.
