Trivia:
Cameo: [Lemmy]Front man for the band Motörhead is the "Newspaper Editor" in the parking lot. He's credited as Lemmy Von Motorhead. more
Goofs:
Incorrectly regarded as goofs: The sign outside of the station lists the broadcast frequency as 103.6. FM radio stations in America always use odd numbers for their broadcast frequencies. However, like the infamous '555' telephone exchange, this is deliberate use of fictitious numbering. more

One of the funniest music movies ever made, 10 April 1999
6/10
Author: Matt-183

Story of three aspiring metalheads holding up a radio station with water pistols starts slowly, with Chazz (Brendan Fraser), infiltrating a record studio. After that, it takes off, picking up speed as the three guys take over a rock station to play their tape. Plenty of humor and one-liners, mostly from Rex (Steve Buscemi) and Ian (Joe Mantegna). Non-metal fans would probably not understand the references to Vince Neil (Motley Crue) and Ozzy Osbourne, though those references mean very little to the movie. Cameo appearance by White Zombie is good, the telephone appearance of Beavis and Butthead is hilarious! Unfortunately, the romance subplot largely fails, though the part where Chris Farley has to find Chazz's girlfriend is good. Some mushy-type scenes that really do not belong in the movie bog the script down in places, but for the most part it is riotously funny.

Rating: 7/10
