ITW 2012 Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 (edited) Is anybody else thinking that GNR should try getting a song in Prometheus? Ridley Scott, who directed the original Alien, and now Prometheus, also hand picked If The World for Body of Lies. I'm thinking Axl must have some great space rockers in his leftover bag of Democracy, and it would be a good idea to try and get one of them included in this likely blockbuster.

jekylhyde Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 No. Prometheus doesn't seem that kinda of movie where you can slap rock-songs carelessly on top of it. It needs original and instrumental score only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasted Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 maybe the band could write something fresh for it. working off the premise of the movie. like a prequel to CD II. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It needs original and instrumental score only.Axl's probably got some pretty cool instrumental sections they could use, or they could stick it in at the end like in Body of Lies. Even the music already in the trailer sounds like something Axl could make. Edited January 18, 2012 by ITW 2012 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But seems kind of a long shot ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Glow Inc. Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Please.No.Jason Graves should do it ( since Jerry Goldsmith is dead ).Do not fuck with this movie. It's the last hope for Alien fans. This incredible franchise has been raped in the worst ways possible since Alien 3. A reboot is the only way possible to redeem it and Axl isn't going to help at all.This movie needs subtle orchestral music mixed with sound design, not Axl Rose. He is an incredible singer, a great rock composer, but he isn't much more than that. Sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2x4 Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 I think Serj Tankian is premiering a new song in this flick. Am I wrong?By the way, did anyone else feel that "Elect the dead" and "Chinese Democracy" were similar? The only true relation between the two that I am aware of, is that Brain played on both records. Ever since hearing Elect the dead I just find this connection (somehow) between that and Chinese Democracy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KiraMPD Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Um... no. Probably would not suit the movie. Don't think Alien movies should have a "sound track" anyway (unless its played during the credits roll).Also, fairly sure this Alien reboot is gonna suck regardless of Ridley Scott. Alien 1-3 were awesome and should have been left alone at that. In the end it was a horror/sci-fi movie which lost its impact when they kept on rehashing the same subject over and over. Wish they would just leave it alone... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every Alien film had it's own feel and tone and I think alot of people wanted the third to be all out interspace warfare on a mass scale, "Aliens" on steroids. Not saying that is your opinion, but that's my thought on why it cops alot of flak. I loved the look and scenery and it's bleakness. But each to their own. Alien Resurrection is more of a comedy in my mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fincher and the studio were practically at war based on what I've read and we're lucky a film of any kind was ever released.

It is to date the only movie I have ever stopped watching halfway through simply out of disgust, it's like they took everything I loved about the first two films and just systematically destroyed it... The "Oh yeah, Newt, Hicks and Bishop are dead by the way..." clause at the beginning was cheap, lazy and very unrewarding the characters themselves were unsympathetic, the plot was dull. I don't think there's a movie I hate more than Alien 3 (and coming from a guy whose favourite film is Jaws, I hope this says a lot). They should have left it at Aliens if that was the best they could come up with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ITW 2012 Posted January 20, 2012 Author Share Posted January 20, 2012 The only thing I remember about Alien 3 is that Ripley had a shaved head, and I've never seen number 4 even though I bought the boxset. This new one has Ridley back at the helm however, so I'm sure it'll be awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TiedHands Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 This movie is seriously gonna be a classic piece of sci-fi art, and I cannot wait for it. I'm sure they have a dark, harder edged song they could use for the movie. Maybe something like a slower, grinding 'Oh My God' would work. BTW, 'Alien 3' was a pretty genius movie, and completely overlooked and underrated. It's honestly my favorite of the series... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
