iamgenessa Posted November 30, 2007 Report Share Posted November 30, 2007 I know that 'Moon over Bourbon Street' by Sting was inspired by Interview with the Vampire. What other songs have been inspired by that book? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indigoboo Posted December 3, 2007 Report Share Posted December 3, 2007 Concrete Blonde's song "Bloodletting (The Vampire Song)" was directly based on IwtV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

indigoboo Posted December 4, 2007 Report Share Posted December 4, 2007 I loved them. They actually had a LOT of vampire imagery, even in their non-vampiry songs. Well worth a few downloads, and avoid all that "Joey" and "Caroline" crap that made airplay. Dig around for some of their real treasures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elvish Posted December 10, 2007 Report Share Posted December 10, 2007 From Wiki: Music inspired by Rice's novels Cradle of Filth briefly includes Lestat in the song "Libertina Grimm" as "Count Lestats". Sting got the inspiration for his song "Moon over Bourbon Street" from Interview with the Vampire. Alternative rock band Concrete Blonde's song "Bloodletting (the Vampire Song)", the title track from the Bloodletting CD, is based on Rice's The Vampire Lestat. The Australian pop band Savage Garden found their name in The Vampire Lestat, in which Lestat describes the world as "the savage garden". The Metalcore band Atreyu declares in the song "The Crimson", "I'm an Anne Rice novel come to life." Punk/goth band The Damned recorded a song called "The Dog" about the child vampire Claudia from Interview with the Vampire on their 1982 album Strawberries. The Italian band Theatres des Vampires is named after a location featured in several books of The Vampire Chronicles. Their 1999 album is called The Vampire Chronicles.
