Are you referring to the Columbia Pictures release "Heavy Metal" that was
directed by Gerald Patterson and produced by Ivan Reitman? It sounds like
you are but you have alot of things out of wack. First there isn't "A" rock
group, there is a phenomenal soundtrack including: Black Sabbath, Cheap
Trick, Blue Oyster Cult, Devo, Donald Fagan, Don Felder, Grand Funk
Railroad, Nazareth, Sammy Hagar, Stevie Nicks, Journey, Riggs and Trust.
You can find the soundtrack on Full Moon Asylum Records.
Secondly it isn't a Trilogy, it's a compilation of 7 stories from the pages
of the long running magazine "Heavy Metal".
The stories are:
"Soft Landing" – Dan O'Bannon
"Grimaldi" – Harold Whitaker
"Harry Canyon" – Dan Goldberg & Len Blum
"Den" – Richard Corben
"Captain Sternn" – Berni Wrightson
"B-17" – Dan O'Bannon
"So Beautiful So Dangerous" – Angus McKie
"Taarna" – Dan Goldberg & Len Blum
