#314: Tyler Bates (Film Score Composer, Marilyn Manson Collaborator) on The MetalSucks Podcast #314

This week we chat with film composer and Marilyn Manson producer
Tyler Bates. Tyler worked with Manson on The Pale
Emperor and Heaven Upside Down and has composed musical
scores for the entire Guardians of the Galaxy and John
Wick franchises, in addition to films such as Deadpool
2, Watchmen, 300, Halloween (2007), Atomic
Blonde and numerous others. We discuss his involvement with
the first live action Cirque Du Soleil show, R.U.N., how that
process compares to composing films, the multiple TV series he has
worked on recently, and the important role The Shield played in
inspiring him to compose for television. We also talk about our
favorite soundtracks (including Matt Dillion’s City of Ghosts, a
personal favorite of Petar's which Tyler composed), his take on
Martin Scorsese's comments about the Marvel world not being cinema,
if working with Rob Zombie on a film was a different challenge
because he is a musician, and the story behind ending The Devil’s
Rejects with “Free Bird." Petar, Brandon, and Jozalyn discuss the
passing of Mercyful Fate bassist Timi Hansen, the reunion of Rage
Against The Machine, and why James and Lars of Metallica should not
consider using riffs written by Kirk Hammett. Songs: Tyler Bates -
“Texas Motel” (Killer Joe score), “Run Baby Girl” (The Devil’s
Rejects score) and “Fever Dream” (300 score), Marilyn Manson - “We
Know Where You Fucking Live” Learn more about your ad choices.
