Michael Kamen, RIP

[gridlore]

Michael Kamen, musical director for the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra, composer of many film and TV scores, and fused hard rock and orchestral music, culminating in the amazing Metallica/ SF Symphony "S&M" shows, has died.

He and his musical vision will be missed.

I'll remember him for:

Robin Hood, Prince of Thieves (his music helped save that movie, along with Morgan Freeman and Alan Rickman)
From the Earth to the Moon
Band of Brothers
Die Hard and its sequels
X-Men
and...
The Iron Giant

So many grand adventures.
