Green Day's new documentary ¡Quatro! will premiere at this year's winter X Games, which start January 26th in Aspen, Colorado, MStarNews reports. ¡Quatro! tracks Green Day's creative process during the writing and recording of their recent album trilogy, ¡Uno!, ¡Dos! and ¡Tré!, and also includes live footage from shows across the U.S.

The doc was officially announced in November, but frontman Billie Joe Armstrong told Billboard over the summer it was in the works, as was another movie about the band's early days that was being pieced together with vintage footage. Some highlights from ¡Quatro! premiered back in November on VH1, though there's currently no word on a release date for the other film.

After cancelling their remaining shows in 2012 as Armstrong sought treatment for substance abuse following a meltdown at the iHeartRadio music festival in Las Vegas, Green Day will resume touring on March 28th at Chicago's Allstate Arena.

“Is It True”

Brenda Lee | 1964

As the British Invasion reached its peak in 1964, Brenda Lee went from Nashville to London to record one of her hardest-rocking hits, her perky vocal backed by a stuttering, squalling guitar. That guitar was played by session musician Jimmy Page, yet to skyrocket to fame with first the Yardbirds and then Led Zeppelin. "She said to me, 'I've come here to make a record with the British sound,'" remembered producer Mickie Most. "She felt she wouldn't get the same sound in Nashville because they're only just catching up on the British beat group sound of about six months ago."
