New, younger guy at work listened to it again after hearing it in the trailer. Exactly. A few months ago, when The Batman was released, a lot of people listened to Nirvana's "Something in the way" too 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We love Axl Rose Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 It would be nice if they added at least 1 song that most people don't know along with these 4 biggest hits of the group. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They wouldn't do that. Why would they? GnR are a legacy act with a handful of classic mega hits, and a bunch of lesser known songs so fans at their shows can hit the beer stands and restrooms. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mystery Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 It's crazy how much mileage this band gets from songs they did 30-35 years ago. It's a microcosm of the songs that most of the casual audience going to their concerts these days know. Like it sounds like gatekeeping but Guns is a band that's lived well for so long off about 8 songs. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True but most bands have their hits spread out over a period of years through different eras. Guns did pretty much everything to set their legacy in a 5 year period. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChristmasFnatic Posted July 6, 2022 Author Share Posted July 6, 2022 Just watched the movie, SCOM was the end credits and a short one during the movie. PC and NR decent amount. Jungle was the longest played. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steff_66 Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 From the Rolling Stone interview with the director, Taika Waititi: You’ve said you were aiming for a sort of 1980s adventure-movie feel in this one. Was that why you leaned so hard on Guns N’ Roses in the soundtrack? Yeah, for sure. You can see some of the influences in Chris’ [alternate] Thor costume, with the singlet. That’s obviously an homage to Big Trouble in Little China, to [Kurt Russell’s] Jack Burton. I just wanted the whole thing to feel like an electric-guitar lead break. All the art and everything, it feels like an ’80s album cover. Even the title treatment — I wanted it all to feel like something I would draw on my school book in class, when I was perfecting the Metallica [logo]. Did you have to be in any negotiations with Guns N’ Roses? At one point, the music supervisors were like, you might have to have a chat with Axl. But I was just getting scared. He’s one of the greatest icons for me. https://www.rollingstone.com/tv-movies/tv-movie-features/taiki-waititi-thor-star-wars-natalie-portman-chris-hemsworth-1378020/ 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I knew there was 4 songs from the beginning but the length they were played and all the other references really surprised me. They really really tributed GNR!

downzy Posted July 9, 2022 Share Posted July 9, 2022 Saw it two days ago. This movie will bring a smile to any GNR fan. The soundtrack is glorious! A couple of notes: - I believe Patience is also included, but it’s more of a short instrumental cover played near the end of the film using an instrument I couldn’t recognize. - The best use of a GNR song in the film, in my opinion, was the outro of November Rain during the last battle scene. Jungle is always great in films, but it’s a bit overplayed at this point. NR’s outro fit perfectly for the scene and was something I’ve never seen or heard before. - There was a nice homage/reference to Axl by Natalie Portman’s character while November Rain was playing. The direction references both the scenes of Stephanie Seymour lying in the casket but also Axl sitting up in his bed at the end of the video. Really enjoyed the film. If you’re a Guns fan and don’t hate superhero movies, go check it out. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was wondering if that was supposed to be Patience as well, but I don't think I saw it credited as such in the end credits. I remember yeeeeeeeears ago reading a review from a test screening of Kick-Ass where the reviewer said they used the NR outro during Hit-Girl's fight scene and that the whole audience was clapping. I'm guessing that was just used for a temp score as it didn't end up in the final film :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like there had to be a similar effect in 2004-05 when they had Welcome to the Jungle in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, the commercial featuring it went great with the song. I'm surprised they didn't try for any UYI songs since the game is set in 1992 which is in the heart of that era. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although old school fans of the band are mad about that. I don’t see GNR getting a similar lift from this film as Metallica and Kate Bush are from Stranger Things for two reasons. First, most of the GNR songs included in the movie are pretty well know already. Go into any bar or sporting event and you’re going to hear some or most (with exception of November Rain). And NR has over 1.8 billion video views on YouTube. Second, and this is just a guess, but the audience for Stranger Things is likely significantly larger than the new Thor film. Hundreds of millions of people around the world are watching Stranger Things, an audience size few films short of Avatar or The Avengers can come close to. Metallica is well known, but not its older songs. And few born after 1990 had probably ever heard of Kate Bush, let alone her song used in the show. So different dynamic. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
