The King of the Monsters wrote: If they sound completely different, then they aren't the same songs. And again, if Toho were to have any intention of sampling classic rock songs and creating orchestral versions of them, they would have to purchase the rights to them. Songs are owned by record labels, and if a studio wishes to sample a song or create an instrumental version of it for a film, they have to purchase the rights to the song from the record label. Needless to say, Toho isn't going to do that. You remind me of another user who kept demanding that classic rock songs be included in a Godzilla movie because they were supposedly "dark and gritty," then any time someone argued against it they just kept repeating the same argument and glossing over whatever anyone else said.

There is no chance of any classic rock songs being included in this movie in any form. The score is entirely original compositions from Shiro Sagisu. So that happened in 2004 for Final Wars when they used the music We are All to Blame.
