All of this plays better if you know the book or seen the movie, but it still has a certain warped charm that's pretty fun, regardless of your familiarity with the crown prince of gonzo journalism. Excerpts from the score and bits of dialogue are scattered throughout it all. There's also a clutch of Las Vegas lounge standards, such as Tom Jones' 'She's a Lady,' Perry Como's 'Magic Moments' and Debbie Reynolds' 'Tammy,' that hammer home the fact that the movie is set in Vegas. Gilliam has stocked the film with familiar cuts from the late '60s and early '70s - 'White Rabbit,' 'For Your Love,' 'Get Together,' 'Mama Told Me (Not to Come),' 'One Toke Over the Line' - plus album cuts (albeit classics) from Bob Dylan ('Stuck Inside of Mobile with the Memphis Blues Again'), Buffalo Springfield ('Expecting to Fly') and Big Brother & the Holding Company ('Combination of the Two'). Promising cast, promising director, and a bunch of promising cameos (Christina Ricci, Tobey Maguire, Cameron Diaz, Lyle Lovett, etc.) - all the ingredients for a good movie, plus a good period-piece soundtrack, as well. Nevertheless, Terry Gilliam - possibly one of the only contemporary directors with enough visual panache to pull it off - brought it to life in 1998 with Johnny Depp as Raoul Duke and Benicio Del Toro as Duke's Samoan lawyer, Dr. In a brief part of Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, you see Raoul Duke smoke out of what seems to be a lightbulb and then lay back on the bed as it rises into the air, then going into a flashback about a chemist asking for a place to cook LSD and then Duke being in the bathroom, spilling some on his sleeve, and having a hippie lick his arm.

Thompson's wild, dope-fueled, hallucinatory Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas was simply one of those books that couldn't be adapted for film. The band mainly plays heavy music with both high and low shouts, but unlike typical metal sounds, they have electronic beats and autotuned singing.

The band was formed by members from Ending for a Start and Blank Time. For years, it was speculated that Hunter S. Fear, and Loathing in Las Vegas is a electronicore band formed in the summer of 2008 in Kobe, Hygo Prefecture, Japan.
