'Justice League' trailer song: Gary Clark Jr. and Junkie XL cover "Come Together"

on 'Justice League' trailer song: Gary Clark Jr. and Junkie XL cover "Come Together"

If you're like me, you've probably watched the Justice League trailer 100 times since it was released last weekend. And because of that, you probably haven't been able to get the song "Come Together" out of your head.

"Come Together" was first performed by The Beatles in 1969, and since then many other musicians have covered it and created their own versions. So which version was used in the Justice League trailer? It was a new cover by musician Gary Clark Jr. and composer Junkie XL!

Hopefully the full song is released soon. For now, check out their cover of "Come Together" in the new Justice League trailer below.

    Nice. I can't believe this whole time I thought it was the Aerosmith version.

      Def not Steven Tyler singing. I actually like their cover of the song better than the Beatles and there are seldom covers of Beatles songs that have me saying that.

        I didn't think that they would have someone else record a brand new version and since I thought it sounded like the Aerosmith cover I figured they might have just remixed that.

    Oh good. I've spent the better half of the last 2 days trying to look for the right version they used in the trailer. Here I thought it was Godsmack,

    I understand that some people think that an orchestral score would've been better, but I think this song had the perfect "epic" factor for the trailer.

    I'm hoping this isn't an indication that JL will be filled with songs like SS.

      Don't get me started with that radio station....it was horrible, so out of place and forced.

      Yeah. I also love Icky Thump, but I hope it is only for the trailers. If they want to release an album of songs, okay. However, I want t an orchestral score for the actual flick.

        Junkie XL will make a great score even better than his mad max one and hopefully filled with rock influences

      It's Junkie XLs composition. He knows what he's doing.

    "Come Together" was great in the Justice League trailer, but I rank it #2 right behind the scene in Bronx Tale, that was just completely epic and will never be matched. For those of you who have not seen a Bronx Tale, I wont spoil it, but you will definitely know the scene when that song comes on.

      That movie is one of my favourites ever! Impressive DeNiro as always, and of course Palmanteri ;)

      I saw the film a few years ago. It´s good but that bit truly escaped my mind.

        IamTheOneWhoKnocks

        That was one of the best parts of the movie, common bro how can anybody forget that scene. It was one of the best lines too....."Now youse can't leave!"

    I hope the music will be more score driven in the movie and not really pop/rock like Suicide Squad was. I think it does work for these trailers, but I don't want it to be that way in the actual movie as I'd rather hear Tom's a.k.a Junkie XL's epic music more.

    Maybe in the next trailer we'll get the score....I mean the movie is not out until November, lots of things to add. Also, I want it to be like the JLA score, or something very similar.

      Very rarely do you get the actual movie's score in the trailers. Man of Steel was the only one out of the DCEU movies that did it, and it was in the final trailer, and a very edited part of the soundtrack. So I wouldn't count on it.

    Wow iconic as the film is going to be! I.e soon to be found in a bargain bin basement somewhere.

    The more I watched the trailer the more I enjoyed the music, can't wait to hear the theme song for JL. Arcade is still my favorite DCEU piece so far, EPIC!

    I knew Junkie XL had something to do with it cause you can hear the BvS theme underneath.

      No kidding! The Dark Tower is due out in July and there hasn't even been a short teaser trailer.

    Nothing beats the original. Covering the Beatles should be declared a federal crime. You just don`t touch the Fab Four. and the original of Come Together is one of the greatest songs of all time. Every attempt to cover or copy that is instantly inferior.

    1. Joe Dee Avatar
      Joe Dee

      Nah. While I agree there are not many Beatle covers that top the original versions, there are still plenty worthwhile ones and seeing different takes on them can be enjoyable and interesting. It would be more of a crime if artists didn't allow different interpretations of their work. I mean, can you imagine a world where Bob Kane's Batman was the only version?

      I enjoy the Robin Williams cover. He perfectly captures the surreal tone of that song.

      I do largely agree with your comment about the beatles but...come together is hardly one of their solid gold classics and this remix was pretty fun.

      calm down. Can you honestly imagine the Beatles version playing during a trailer for an epic action movie like this?

    I wonder if this means they'll use pop music in JL, the same way they did it in SS for example (but to a much smaller degree obviously). I'd do anything to avoid Junkie's actual "compositions".

    Now if only there's a full version of their cover somewhere...

    This music is a very good choice for the JL trailer.... but I heard it so many times in french commercials that it has lost its effect. I hope they are going to use the animated series intro theme in the movie, it would be so awesome : https://www.youtube.com/wat...

    Can't wait to hear Junkie's themes for Aquaman, Cynorg and Flash. Of course, the main JL theme.

    1. Supermansteve Avatar

      I really hope the main theme song for this movie is as groundbreaking as Superman theme song from Christopher Reeves. You literally can't listen to that an not know what it is. It's so perfect.

    As much as I loved this song in the trailer I'd still prefer an epic score in the movie. This is like THE biggest DC movie and Hans Zimmer decided to quit superhero movies :(

      And you have no trust at all in Junkie XL? I mean Fury Road's OST was excellent and he is the one that composed the WW track for BvS...

      The movie will still have an epic score. Film scores aren't always used for the trailers. Personally, I think the song choices for the JL trailer were perfect.

    I knew the Aerosmith version didn't sound right. Two days listening to the wrong song...

  27. Dariusz Golebiowski Avatar

    I'm pretty sure that Junkie XL had a lot to do with "She is with you?" when he worked on BvS. But I could be wrong.

    He doesn't need to pull it off. The track is owned by Warner Bros, it was written for their movie, and they can use it as much or as little as they want.

    Another element that gets overshadowed when being compared to Marvel.
