One of the factors that is most recognized in relation to the saga of Guardians of the Galaxy is the music. From the first installment, released in 2014, to the closing of its trilogy, with the recently released Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3he set list of each production usually generates fervor among the followers. The curious thing, linked to the latest feature film, is that James Gunn had problems with a particular song.
If it were a question of summarizing the relationship that James Gunn has with music, three words would suffice: he is a music lover. The diversity of genres that are grouped in the saga Guardians of the Galaxy They show it. It is the filmmaker himself who is in charge, during the writing of the script, of thinking about and including each theme. However, for the first time, it was not possible to incorporate one of the songs that I wanted.
This was revealed through his Twitter account, where he can be seen from time to time to share ideas, show some progress on projects he is working on and answer questions. On this occasion, he had to answer the following question, raised by the user @COttensoser: “Was there a song you wanted to use that you couldn’t add?”.

and the song that could not incorporate
From the conception of the films, Guardians of the Galaxy It has been related to music. For this reason, instead of 1 or 2, for example, “Vol. 1” to differentiate them, as if it were a cassette. Even that musical support appears constantly in the saga. Added to this framework are dozens of iconic songs from different eras that function as an emotional guide within the productions.
Until Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, James Gunn had been able to incorporate all the songs he had in mind. However, this time there was one that he could not add: Russian Roulette of Lords of the New Church. This theme was released in 1982, within the band’s self-titled album. But what happened so that it could not be added? This is how the director explained it:
“In over 3 movies, I have included every song I have written in a script, sometimes after a lot of blood and effort to acquire the rights. However, for the first time, in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3, we didn’t get the rights to a song she wanted because she was involved in legal battles. The song is Russian Roulette of Lords of the New Church”.
