Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey: Music from the Motion Picture is the licensed soundtrack to the 1991 Orion Pictures film Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey. It was released by Interscope Records on July 9, 1991.

Soundtrack Info

Unlike the soundtrack to the film's predecessor, Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure, this soundtrack features music from artists well-known at the time of the filmss release. Many of these songs, such as Faith No More's The Perfect Crime and Megadeth's Go To Hell, help paint the darker tone of the film. Many of the contributing artists have a cameo of some form in the film. Notably, the track "The Reaper Rap", a reprise of Steve Vai's "The Reaper", features not only sound bytes of dialog heard in the film, but also dialog from the film's deleted scenes now believed to be lost.

  1. "Shout it Out" - Slaughter
  2. "Battle Stations" - Winger
  3. "God Gave Rock 'N' Roll to You II" - Kiss

Notes

  • Shout it Out was recorded while Slaughter was on the road
  • Neverland's song Drinking Again was not used in the film, but was a substitute for another Neverland song For the Love (of Music). However the intro from Drinking Again was used for a television promo for the film. Both songs were released one month prior on Neverland's self-titled debut album.
  • The version of God Gave Rock 'n Roll to You II is not that which plays at the film's end as it lacks the intro by Steve Vai and the sound of girls chanting the chorus as the song fades to end. The intro solo was released by Steve Vai in his recopilatory album The Elusive Light And Sound, along with all of the other small pieces performed by him during the movie. Pieced together versions featuring Steve Vai's intro have been made by fans.
  • Dream of a New Day was previously release on Richie Kotzen's 1990 album Fever Dream.
  • On the soundtrack's booklet the credits for Showdown Love on Ice gives special thanks to both Bill and Ted.
  • Tommy the Cat was previous released on Primus' live album Suck on This.
  • Tommy the Cat was voiced by singer songwriter Tom Waits.
