AdminGodzillaAug-20-2013 8:07 PMI'll just say I don't think any rock music should be in the new Godzilla movie. Just a traditional score, please. :)

AdminGodzillaAug-21-2013 12:39 AMThat may be true, and I agree it is cool, but just because something is "cool" doesn't mean it would fit a movie.
Like I said in another thread, if this were a very tongue and cheek Godzilla movie with overtly fun comedic beats and action, (kind of like [i]Iron Man[/i]) then perhaps rock music would fit.
But director Gareth Edwards is selling this movie as a very character centric and serious film that's similar to the first Godzilla movie. If you were to put any of those songs in the first Godzilla film it just wouldn't fit the mood or atmosphere, no matter how good the song is.
Lets put it this way. How many Godzilla movies have had rock music in it? To my recollection, only one: [i]Final Wars[/i]. The other Godzilla movies haven't because rock music arguably wouldn't fit with them.
I think a traditional score with a talented composer is more appropriate for the new movie and we shouldn't expect rock music to be in it. I for one am hoping Brian Tyler gets a chance to do the music. Though I'd love to hear what Hans Zimmer would do with Godzilla-- if he's not too busy, and can create an appropriate melody.

MemberMothra LarvaeAug-21-2013 6:36 AMI can't believe no one mentioned Blue Oyster Cults Godzilla here... That being said a traditional score is the way to go, for the most part whenever popular music is shoehorned in a movie it makes it look cheap, especially in these types of movies. I love hard rock/metal too, so this is not a knock on the music itself.
G. H. (Gman)
AdminGodzillaAug-21-2013 1:20 PMActually I think he has that song in the list and there's a whole other thread about the Blue Oyster Cult's Godzilla song. That said, it would probably be a terrible song to include in the movie. It's too tounge and cheek and could come off extremely cheesy in contrast to the serious tone we've been told the movie is going for.
So I agree, that's the problem with putting any rock/metal song in it. It might cheapen the movie and make it harder to take seriously.
Traditional movie score is the way to go. Now if we were to talk about which composers would be a good fit for Godzilla, I'm all for it.

say what you will , but i think it'd be great for these songs to be in the new movie ! some of them seem fitting for the big guy , the others are just cool , except for the kansas songs , and the other 2 blue oyster cult songs !
radioactive78
MemberMothra LarvaeAug-21-2013 5:24 PMyou said it kingofmonsters6 , most of these songs are my favorites , and i'd love to hear them in the new movie ! and hey , who said this movie had to be COMPLETELY serious ?
G. H. (Gman)
AdminGodzillaAug-21-2013 5:32 PMGareth Edwards, the director of the movie did. :)
Based on everything he said it just doesn't seem like any of these songs would fit. Perhaps if were more like Iron Man, then yes. But the director is going for a much different feel that rock music probably would gel with very well.
Just because something sounds "cool" or even "fits the character" doesn't mean it would fit the mood of the movie. Movies aren't music videos. They don't need to cater to such.

then do you think any of the songs i listed should be in the official trailer for the movie at least
radioactive78
MemberMothra LarvaeAug-22-2013 8:05 PM@AZRIEL
i put that song on the list , along with the other 2 boc songs
G. H. (Gman)
AdminGodzillaAug-22-2013 10:16 PMActually I'm not a very big fan of most of those bands-- Except for Pantera and Slayer. I like a few of their songs. I guess it depends on the way the trailer is cut. Even then I'd probably use another movie's films score. Maybe something from [i]Inception[/i].
