Tyler Movie Terrified Test Audiences

Violent scenes in Liv Tyler's new movie The Strangers are so realistic, test audiences fled cinemas fearing the actress was being killed for real. Tyler and Scott Speedman play a couple terrorised and held hostage in their own home by a group of masked intruders. The film is based on a real event, and contains graphic scenes of violence, that left Tyler battered and bruised and filmgoers terrified. The actress explains, "I was literally covered in bruises for half the year. It was as far as I could push myself in every way: physically, emotionally, mentally. "I remember the producer calling me and saying that the audiences freaked out because they thought it was a snuff film."

German guitar player Axel Rudi Pell is one of cloggy metal's masterminds, thanks to his volute playacting techniques and pinch-hitting riffs which crafted Pell as a mainstay in the hard john Rock genre for the majority of the hair metal '80s. His first band, Steeler, kicked off a mild calling in Europe during the early piece of the decennary, issuing trey albums (Steeler [1984], Rulin' the Earth [1985], Strike Back [1986]) prior to 1987's Undercover Animal, which signaled the beginning of Pell's long-sought solo calling. This professional junket allowed Pell to fully queer his riveting playing big businessman and collaborations betwixt he and other musicians. His 1989 debut Wild Obsession showcased ex-Steeler's bassist Volker Krawczak and vocal good luck charm from Charlie Huhn, simply 1991's soph effort proved Pell's finding. Cruddy Reputation was heavier, throttling with Rob Rock on vocals and a unequivocal stance for Pell to too breach upon neoclassical influences. Later albums such as Black Moon Pyramid (1996) and Oceans of Time (1998) were exquisitely down pat, churned-up interchangeable sounds of Rainbow and Deep Purple. Axel Rudi Pell proven his single star status, most celebratory, like guitar champion Yngwie Malmsteen, throughout the '90s as well, issuing a veer of releases spell left over a chief force out among the German charts.
