6.9.2008 - Gear Of War not in game?

Can you tell me why the song Gears of War was not in the game? I looked forward more to the song than the game, although the game was great, my friends, and i were disappointed that the song wasn't in the game.

Thanks............Rattled2deth

The game Gears of War already had it's music chosen before the song Gears of War was finished. Here's Dave explaining it in 2006, from Xbox's Major Nelson podcast:

"The song Gears of War was being written when we first heard about Gears of War and Xbox partnering with us on Gigantour last year, and I was so flattered and impressed that I had gone over and and taken the title off of the song and changed the title of the song to Gears of War. (I) said, you know what, give them the song, and they said it's too late, the music's already done for the video game, and I said well, it doesn't matter, just tell them that I dedicate this song to them and (am) gonna name it Gears of War, and Jennifer heard it and flipped out over it, and the rest is just a match made in heaven."
