Chatting with The L.A Times' Geoff Boucher, Marvel Studios' head-honcho Kevin Feige revealed that an original song from Dave Grohl’s rock band Foo Fighters, will feature in a key scene from the Kenneth Branagh-directed THOR adventure.

The song “Walk” will play during a scene in which the titular hero, stripped of his powers and marooned on Earth, retreats to a New Mexico roadhouse to drink away the night with boilermakers and carouse with a skeptical new friend, a scientist played by Stellan Skarsgard. The track will play again over the closing credits.


“It was literally one of those things that came together in a matter of weeks, and if you asked two months ago if we would have a Foo Fighters song in this movie, I would have said I don’t think so,” Feige said. “But we heard the song and it just has these eerie appropriate lyrics and themes. The song wasn’t written for the movie, obviously, it’s on their new album, but we almost couldn’t believe it when we heard it. Ken in particular just loved it with these lyrics about learning to walk again and the way that fit the themes of the movie about redemption, learning to be a hero. The song starts off talking about being a million miles away from home and yearning and being separated by vast distances, and it’s no secret that Thor and Natalie’s character are from different worlds.”


Kevin Feige is further quoted stating that the song was more than just a marketing move, but rather the song’s forlorn lyrics & director Kenneth Branagh's reaction to them. Anyhow, listen to the track below and look for THOR in theaters May 6!

That's a shame. I [frick]ing hate Foo Fighters! I hate that band as much as Cartman hates Family Guy. Grohl can kiss my ass. Now I will be annoyed by watching Thor, this will annoy me a lot more than Kat Dennings. He was once in one of the greatest bands of all time and now he's turned into this. He should be ashamed of himself. Cobain would kick him in the balls and spit him in the face.
Of all the piece of shit bands Foo Fighters will be featured in Thor? This is bullshit!

Can't wait for Thor though!

I don't like Foo Fighters, and I was just writing a slam against them as I listened to this song....he starts screaming towards the end and It sounds good...hmmm, was thinking cheesy scene but maybe not so bad...

I don't like rock in any form, so this doesn't excite me at all.

Anyway, it's kinda funny that The Foo Fighters sued Marvel in 2008 for using their song in a Wolverine and the X-Men trailer without their permission, and now they're doing a song for one of their movies.

I guess there were no hard feelings.

hour45 your a hater cobain would have been proud of dave oh and its not the 90's your only 15 years past everyone else who [female dog]ed that he sold out
Berger45
Berger45 - 4/15/2011, 1:22 PM
@BlazinTex - I am an avid hater of Foo Fighters yes.
Cobain hated that Grohl was establishing another band. Grohl thought Cobain didn't know but he knew. He felt it as betrayal. Even Novoselic thought it was.
One thing that annoys me is that Grohl could've become a pure legend of rock but he really [frick]ed it up.

Cobain and Grohl sold out a long time ago. Hell, even Pearl Jam, Offspring and Green Day and the rest of them sold out. Punk and grunge became mainstream and one of the biggest oxymorons that existed.
Kurt wouldn't been proud at all by Grohl, even though he was a hypocrite like the rest of them.

Cascade just had a brain fart and decided this was the place to complain about bands "selling out". Who cares dude, this is a comic book movie website, keep your "punk and grudge is dead" oppinions to yourself.

Berger45 - 4/15/2011, 1:29 PM
@JackJN - This was never about bands selling out. I just said I hated Foo Fighters but I went a bit overboard I must admit. I get emotional when it comes to this.
However this is a cbm news regarding music so it is only fitting that I comment on both.

@BlazinTexan - Lol! You fail. Grohl started experimenting with his own music as early as 1992. Go read some books about Nirvana and the grunge movement before being a wannabe about it. Those dishes needs to be cleaned now.
BlazinTexan
BlazinTexan - 4/15/2011, 1:42 PM
if selling out is finally making butt loads of money to build your own studio get every instrument you ever wanted and making sure your kids and family live well....... count me in

@unscrew amarth would have been dope

@Cas - Dude calm down! I somewhat agree with you but this isn't a full focused genre discussion.

@BlazinTexan - Dave Grohl actually made a cassette album named Pocketwatch back in '92..

BlazinTexan - 4/15/2011, 1:44 PM
lol dave wrote some songs asshole so what? then kurt died and dave was offered to join the heartbreakers he declined to make a album by himself

@Darkmatter lol! =p

@BlazinTexan - Exactly so what. I just hate the band, that's all I wanted to say. I never wanted it to get into a big scene about this. It was never about what you make it out to be. I just really, really, really dislike the band. That's all, I am on board with a truce. This has gone too far anyways =)

@Darkmatter - I don't wanna start anything here but there actually is. The punk and grunge movement was solely founded on DIY and anti establishment/extreme left-wing politics. As soon as the genre crossover the original audience needs to backlash.

But as Elvis Costello once said: ""It's what's on the record. It's not what label's on it. That's like getting a box of Cornflakes and eating the cardboard. It's stupid. There's a much more punk rock idea of getting with a major record company and spending all their money than there is getting your friend to press up their records in his basement, and spending all his money and his mother's money that he borrowed. Which is actually more revolutionary, I think. I spent several years bankrupting the major corporation myself.""

I love Costello's outlook on this. But grunge and punk that was open to the masses wasn't exactly punk or grunge. It was pop punk and pop grunge.

I will now difuse the situation with this insanely hilarious gif!:

@Darkmatter - That's true man! I don't listen to his music but I like the fella. He's got a honest point though!

Berger45 - 4/15/2011, 2:03 PM
@Corpse - That's true man. Costello is a funny man. This made me wonder when "One Nine Nine Four" is going to be released commercially. Anyways, not long until THOR!

@Cascade - you're talking rubbish mate, how could Kurt hate that Grohl was forming another band when Foo Fighters didn't get started until after his death? Cobain only knew of one or two Dave songs, that being Marigold and Beenie Weenie that ended up on Dave's "Pocketwatch" recordings. And how can Krist think it was a betrayal when he is playing with the Foo Fighters on their upcoming album?

@Corpse- What? So you're trying to say that the Sex Pistols are "pop-punk" and Nirvana were "pop-grunge" yeah I don't think so. What came after on the other hand, the lies of Bush and Nickelback and Seether and all those other crappy wannabe grunge bands can easily be considered "pop" but Nirvana was as far away from pop as you can get, just listen to In Utero.

The Foo Fighters are awesome, not nearly as good as Nirvana but they're awesome.

@Ryden - I didn't come here to start any fight. I just halfway supported Cas because he had some valid points. Punk can never be socially acceptable on any accounts and punk bands, no matter what social, economical or political status, is categorized as pop if they've been featured on any hit lists and won commercial prizes from the music industry, this is the only result by major label support.
Anyone who has seen a grunge, punk or pop punk documentary can confirm this, or even read books about the genres. People who lived through this periods and even was a part of it can confirm it, as long it's not the mtv crowd. I've seen Nirvana a couple of times and they are legendary. Insanely amazing. But I experience the california punkscene firsthand so I know more about that then I do about "whatever happened in Seattle". It's impossible to look at the 90's punk and grunge movement and discuss it without talking about the concepts of "sellout" and betraying the core principles, that in the first place started the genre.
It's hard to explain because there's a lot of double standards in this region of rock. It's dirty, askew and absurd.

Regarding Sex Pistols: They are the biggest hypocrites in all of alternative rock's history. Punk is absolutetly not possible for the mainstream to like or enjoy. Anyone who listens to Dead Kennedys or The Crass can appreciate that fact. It just isn't possible.
The usage of the word pop in regards with Sex Pistols was aimed that they sold out.
Real punk just cannot be accepted, it just can't. However Sex Pistols is less pop than the new wave punk bands that actually would found the genre pop-punk: Green Day, Rancid, Offspring etc. They became outcasts by the punk scene/movement at 924 Gilman Street because they comprimised. It's all about the philosophy and politics behind the music when it comes to punk. Even one of the first rules of Gilman Street was that no band with major label ties could play there. It goes against the punk DIY code.

In Utero was Nirvana's try to return to their more hardcore roots, so was Green Day's Insomniac. The usage of pop Grunge isn't exactly fair, as you point out and you are completely right about this. I should've gone into more detail.
Grunge was only accepted as a whole because of the hair metal peroid that came before. If you listen to the Melvins or Green River or even Mudhoney you can understand that's not as commercial acceptable as Nirvana.
What I meant by pop was: commercially recorded music, often oriented towards a youth market, usually consisting of relatively short, simple songs"(taken from wikipedia). By that account Sex Pistols and Nirvana has been considered pop. Being on MTV and winning several awards is pop. There's no way around that.

But the "pop-punk phenomenon" has it's own direct subgenre. Real pop-punk arrived after Grunge died, as you probably already know. It's a hard case to argue to be honest on both accounts because this area of alternative rock is so full with hypocrites. In his journals he has detailed everything about his music videoes which kinda shows he enjoyed making them, which clearly goes against his public comments about MTV. Hell he even rips on Pearl Jam calling them corporate rock, or major label rock which he too was a part of.

There's so much hypocrisy in grunge and punk it's insane. I don't know about you but I love the 90's grunge and pop-punk movement. I love Sex Pistols and Clash, I love Nirvana and Pearl Jam. I love Crass and Dead Kennedys even more. When you get to the root of it, it's all about politics. In that way grunge is too diffus to disect.

Update:
The Crass even has a song called "White Punks on Hope" where they critize Joe Strummer being a hypocrite. That's even hypocritical of them being an anarcho punk.

i like that cascade makes facts up. it amuses me when kurt knew that dave experimented with his own songwriting under an independent label under a false name as to not interfere with nirvanas chemistry. to say grohl is anything short of a rock legend is your 12 year old delusions pretending to know about music well before your time. great news love the foo fighters
