Is that the sound of a perfectly timed guitar riff I hear?

Is there anything so fist-pumpingly, smile-inducingly perfect as the marriage of an action packed trailer with a classic rock song? Iron Man became ten times more exciting when I saw the first trailer, which was set to the rocking guitar riffs of Black Sabbath's, uh, Iron Man (a song choice that probably surprised no one), and now Cowboys & Aliens is at it, using the main riff from Audioslave's Gasoline to turn a high-concept sci-fi action film that I was sort of maybe going to check out to something I absolutely have to see. Heavy guitars and crashing drums in my ears, explosions in my eyes. Sold.

See for yourself:
