He's ridin' through your town with his head on fiiiiiiiiiiirrrrrrrrre He's ridin' through your town with his head on fire Which, if you think about it, would make Rollins incredibly badass in the most traumatic way possible. I think Henry Rollins is trying at this point to convince us that he was the other party in this arrangement. Think it over, go over all the permutations, try to think about a sentence that contains "Ghost swallows hard" that doesn't make you want to die to end the pain.īefore my mind tries to wrap itself around the logistics of such an arrangement, let me now point out that, at the tender young age of twelve years old, I have been assailed by the image of a harrowed soul, rejected from Hell and bent on vengeance, putting down his Hell-forged chain and getting off his fire-wheeled flying motorcycle, not to kick evil back to the underworld with his terrible penance stare, but apparently.to perform oral sex. Now, I don't know what the mumbled lyrics at the start of that last line actually are, but I can't imagine anything that ends with those three words that is somehow not disturbing and horrific. I see them tryin', dyin', ooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhh! Rollins, but I'm beginning to see the larger picture here. Ummm, that wasn't the first thing on my mind, Mr. I see them cryin', Dyin', chokin', drownin'
Ghost rider motorcycle hero tv#
Back then, TV cameras reacted very badly to harsh light, so in later years, the substituted the head of John Kerry over Ghost Rider's flaming skull. I apparently missed the annual that took palce when Ghost Rider, fresh back from the 'Nam, reports before a Senate subcommitee, testifying as to the horrors of war. This is a guy who weilds a flaming chain forged in the fires of Hell itself, rides a flying motorcycle whose wheels are made of fire and leave a trail like in Tron, only not retarded like in Tron, can stare into your eyes and cripple you with grief over every wrong you've ever committed and, oh yes, did I mention, his head is a skull that is always on fire! But the color of his jumpsuit is clearly of the utmost importance here not even the fact that his jumpsuit is covered in spikes, which, while not as cool as the bike, the chain, the penance stare of the flaming skull head, is still a shit-ton more badass than the color blue. Note how, long before we even hear that his head is a flaming skull, we are informed that Ghost Rider is not only cute, but that he wears a blue jumpsuit. Badass, terrifying, fucking awesome, cool as Hell, yes. I'm sorry, what? "Cute" is the last adjective that should ever be applied to Ghost Rider. Rock bands are way too cool to sing about comic characters." I kept my expectations low, not wanting to get disappointed like the time I stayed up to watch The Avengers on Nick at Night, then woke up early to catch Ghostwriter on PBS."īut alas and holy fuck, the first few lines tell me this song is actually about Ghost Rider! How cool is that? I didn't even stop to ask myself where the hell else a star would be if it wasn't in the universe.īaby baby baby baby baby he lookin' so cute! I read a lot of comics before getting this album, and when I saw the track title on the back, I was like, "this couldn't possibly be about that Ghost Rider. Like a star star star in the universe, yeah Join me in examining this musical masterpiece, will you?īaby baby baby baby baby he's blazin' away! Out of all the tracks on this album, none has left an impression quite like Ghost Rider, by Henry Rollins And His Rollins Band.
When I was like 12, I picked up the soundtrack to this movie, and it was the first step on a long, dark road that led me to hating life and running live-action roleplaying games at age 25. As originally appeared in the Original Motion Picture Soundtrack to The Crow:
