The Bogus Journey soundtrack can be
summed up in two words . . . it rocks! We're talking some of the biggest
names in the rock and heavy metal business . . . Megadeth, Winger, Slaughter . .
. KISS! Can't do much better than that! Oddly enough the songs don't
seem as tied into the movie as the Excellent Adventure songs were (with
the exception of God Gave Rock and Roll to You II, which will forever be the
Bill & Ted anthem thanks to their raucous Battle of the Bands finale and the
inclusion of Steve Vai's rocking guitar introduction in the film). There's
little doubt the songs are heavier and darker than the songs from the previous
film, but considering the darker content of the movie itself this only makes
sense. The odd man out on this album would likely be Tommy the Cat by
Primus, as Primus fans aren't necessarily heavy metal fans, but it's a very cool
song which also features the amazing voice of Tom Waites! Showdown
is an interesting piece by a little known 80's band called Love on Ice.
And then of course there is The Reaper Rap . . . Steve Vai's amazing
music with excerpts taken from the film's dialogue . . . classic!
