I think this'll be a good film to see. I was interested in it before I heard about the GNR song being in it, so either way its win-win.

Disappointing that we don't get to hear the full song, but I believe this is part of the promotional strategy at this point - they're just offering previews of the album in different mediums, first the video game and now a major film, kind of testing the waters to see what kind of reaction or feedback it gets.

I think we could get another 'preview' of this kind somewhere else before the proper album promotion really kicks in.

But what's the point of testing the waters? I mean it's not like if the response from the public isn't good enough they won't release it, right? And if everything is basically done and it's only left to announce the release date, why haven't they done it? I mean it's not like we haven't waited long enough. Including new songs in games and movies is all cool, but ultimately what people want is a release date, and not another tentative one. God I hope the big announcment happens soon.

I know what you mean. Can only leave it up to the band to wait for the announcement in their own time.

Isn't it good that new music is getting out there though? Even if it is low profile? It shows that the music is ready and they will deliver it to us in full at the right time. They want people to know its coming, even if they're not screaming it from the rooftops yet. Things could be alot worse if "Shackler's Revenge" or "If the World" didn't come out at all.

Sat through 2 hours of a fairly good movie and hear, get this, only a minute and a half of If The World. It was short but sweet. The song comes at the way end of the movie and it's very cool the way Axl's voice just appears right when the directors name Ridley Scott appears. It was awesome hearing Axl's voice again in public, especially on a new track.

Out of all the leaks, this one had me a little worried. Axl sounds much better on the final mix and the song wraps around his voice a lot better now. I think that's the main issue I had with the leak was it all seemed flat and Axl's voice just seemed drop on top of the music. Now it all blends together much nicer. I don't pretend to be a sound engineer but clearly a lot can be adjusted to drastically change how a song sounds.

I wish the song would have played longer because I didn't get a chance to hear any of the guitar solos or how the "la la la" goes in the final mix. Overall, I think this album is going to be exactly what Axl promised, a GNR album that has something for everyone. I am glad Axl is experimenting with new sounds and this album is going to be so refreshing. It takes a brilliant song writer to have a song like If THe World sitting next to a song like Better....I think when we view this album holistically, it's all going to make sense and be so rewarding.

A final note. Judging the tracks by the leaks is a mistake. I know it's all we got at times, but it's like viewing a painting before it's complete. I just can't wait to hear the final versions of the songs we know (PROSTITUTE IS GONNA ROCK) along with a bunch of brand new songs. I am a fan of If The World...Keep em coming Axl!

i wonder what the point of having a song in the movie if it's not on the soundtrack?  not everyone goes to a movie to hear a GnR song

You answered your own question.

It also costs more to put the band on the soundtrack itself rather then just in the movie. I can't remember all the times I've heard AC/DC in a movie, then have them not appear on a soundtrack, Who Made Who not withstanding.

What "la la la"?
Is that referring to the part before the acoustic interlude just before the solo?

[DemocracyRose]

Yes I think so...

For promotion or fun even....think about it...Rolling stone had a story on their main page about this track being in "Body of Lies"...it also exposes people to new GNR music who might not have gone out of their way to check it out for themselves...I dont know if the band just did it for fun, cause they like the movie, or promotional puposes...but it sure has alot of people talking...

[Jizzo]

only a minute and a half, thats lame

ill still go see the movie on friday

[Albert S Miller]

going to see "Body of Lies" tomorrow, and if so who is going strictly because they would like to hear new song, and how many of you previously planned on seeing movie before anyone know about new song? Just curious!!

[Nytunz]

i would if i lived in the US. but i dont think the movie will be on in europe before November.. but exciting anyway! Hope u have a blast

To be honest I am going just to hear a minute and a half of this new track...........i haven't been to the movies for ages and this seems like a good reason to go........

i haven't read through all the pages but ign has posted an article on this song and rated it an 8/10 which is impressive in their scale.
