but why? why? did he use Gimme Shelter again? Goodfellas, Casino and now this... really weak choice

As a sidenote,
Gimme Shelter is my favorite song of all time. I never get sick of it.
But I actually understand why Scorsese used it again...it's his mob movie trademark. He uses trademarks often; he goes through actor phases, and uses Rolling Stones music, most often Gimme Shelter, frequently.
It was kind of a "Heee's baaaaaaack" thing...we hadn't seen a solid Scorsese mob movie since 1996.
