Author	Topic: X-Rated Herrmann???

Soundtracker Oscar® Winner	quote: Originally posted by Marian Schedenig: Hmm, forgot that even harmless swear words get censored in US films... But the only option is to completely remove Benny Herrmann - there is not G-Rated Herrmann. Hey, was Herrmann a hardcore person?

Marian Schedenig Oscar® Winner	Well, I wouldn't say he was hardcore, but he certainly didn't always use the nicest words. NP: MGV (Michael Nyman) - Excellent!

Lou Goldberg Oscar® Winner	Did Marian mean that all the Herrmann scores are so violent that the films they accompany immediately become PG or worse or that Herrmann had a fowl mouth? Herrmann did a lot of complaining but I didn't think he swore that much. As for X-rated Herrmann, a film that Martin Scorsese edited in 1969 used Herrmann library cues and had lots of sex scenes.

Soundtracker Oscar® Winner	All I can say is that Coil is cool.

TV's Frank Oscar® Winner	About Coil and Hellraiser: Clive Barker had initially wanted the band to score the first film which he directed, but I believe one of his producers suggested going for a more orchestral approach via composer Christopher Young. I, for one, am glad he did, because I love Young's work on the first two Hellraiser films. They set a particularly unnerving tone that no metal band could possibly achieve.

Nicolai P. Zwar Oscar® Winner	It is pretty well known that Herrmann had an irritable personality who didn't hold back in the way he expressed himself either.

shrubber Oscar® Winner	Herrmann was from New York - 'nuff said. His foul-mouthedness was legendary, and if you scan the many tribute pages dedicated to him carefully I'm sure you'll find plenty of juicy examples.

JJH Oscar® Winner	God bless people like Herrmann who say what's on their mind, rather than fake their way through life.
