Somehow, it's already April and things are getting busy for Green Day. In between rehearsing for their Coachella set next week, the band had some surprises for us in store. Here's recent news you may have missed:
"American Idiot" Appears on Devil May Cry soundtrack
Ahead of its premiere on April 3rd, Netflix revealed the soundtrack for the new Devil May Cry series. The news was shared via social media with an image of a CD-R featuring the songs and artists appearing in season 1, including Evanescence, Limp Bizkit, Crazy Town, and Rage Against the Machine. Green Day were also included, but theirs was the only song crossed out. Of course, this caused wild speculation among fans, some guessing the song would be "One Eyed Bastard" with others hoping it was a new song. When the series finally premiered, fans learned that "American Idiot" is featured in episode 8. Why was the song redacted? Guess that's another Green Day mystery for the books.
