There's some guitar work in the film's score, since it's done predominantly by none other than Keith Emerson. But personally I think Final Wars 's soundtrack is kind of a mixed bag anyway, because it doesn't know what it wants to be. It's a bunch of techno, guitar and orchestral music jumbled together. There's some great individual tracks in it, but overall I don't think it's the strongest soundtrack in the series.

I'm not saying I'm against the use of actual guitar music in the score. Lots of films have done that, notably Godzilla vs. Biollante. But I'm not huge on actual rock songs being incorporated into the score, for reasons I have explained above. Well, Black Sabbath's "Electric Funeral" isn't really that rocky, it's very depressing. (Fitting for a serious Godzilla film.) I think what they're saying is, while the lyrics are very fitting, the style of music doesn't mesh very well with the tone of most of the Godzilla movies It fits with the tone of the more serious films. I actually disagree entirely. For a darker, more gritty film, you want something that reflects that. Black Sabbath doesn't exactly scream "dead serious", know what I'm saying? "Electric Funeral" is dark and gritty.
