Green Day have released a video for "The Forgotten", a new tune that will be featured on the soundtrack to "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2".
The soundtrack will be issued November 13, and the film is set to hit theaters three days later.
"The Forgotten" will also be included on the third album in the group's new trilogy, "¡Tre!"; the album's release date has been moved up to December 11, 2012 from its original date of January 15, 2013.
The trilogy's second effort, "¡Dos!", is due November 13.
As Billie Joe Armstrong continues treatment for substance abuse, Green Day announced this week that they have cancelled their club tour that was due to launch in Seattle at the Paramount Theatre on November 26th and wind down in Tempe, AZ at the Marquee Theatre on December 10th. Tickets for these clubs shows will be refunded at point of purchase.
The band has also postponed all scheduled appearances for the months of January and February 2013. New dates for these rescheduled shows will be announced shortly and previously purchased tickets will be honored on the new dates, Hennemusic reports.
Why am I not surprised? Oh thats right! Because Green Day is no longer a band, but rather a marketing tool, to be used to promote whatever drivel Hollywood wants to shovel down our throats.
The song is actual pretty good. The video could be better if they took out the Twilight scenes and just showed him and the orchestra and Tre playing the song.
There is nothing wrong with the band maturing and making music they wanna make. To everyone saying they "sold out" or that theyre a "marketing tool" now, its called being at a point in their careers where they can venture out and make music that may not be exactly "punk" and reach a whole new audience while STILL making/writing music that comes from their hearts. Anyone remember Time of Your Life? Slow song... not punk... Smash Hit!! If you are an artist, you would hope your fans would support you no mattet what direction you take your music. I personally HATE Twilight but I love the song, the band and support this move... or at least this song. -Stefan Johnson -of Clveland Ohio's Blue Squared/ CopyKats Coverband
That is ****ing unbelievable! They actually released all three albums in three months! Tre will be a good present to Green Day fans. I still need to get the uncensored iUno(got the stupid censored version of it from stupid ****ing Wal-Mart, so don't get albums from Wal-Mart), and the Uncensored versions of iDos! and iTre!. The Forgotten is a good reason to watch the Twilight movies! Just kidding!
