¡Cuatro! Tracklist
¡Cuatro! is a music documentary detailing the process of writing and recording Green Day’s album trilogy ¡Uno!, ¡Dos! and ¡Tré!. The rockumentary was directed by Tim Wheeler and produced by Tim Lynch (who had previously produced Green Day’s Bullet in a Bible in 2005). It was nominated for a Grammy for Best Music Film.
The documentary was originally titled ¡Quatro! which was later changed due to the fact that it misspelled what it was trying to represent (number four [4] in Spanish). “Quatro” is actually number four in Portuguese.
“¡Cuatro!” Q&A

What have the artists said about the documentary?
Billie Joe told SPIN
Over the last year while we were recording our trilogy, we posted multiple clips every week so fans can see parts of the recording process of ¡Uno! ¡Dos! ¡Tré!. ¡Quatro! brings our fans one step closer by giving them even more access and revealing what it was like for us to make these records.
[The documentary was] not going to be the sitting down, head shot of me going, ‘We started out blah blah blah’. We wanted to get into lifestyles of rock ‘n’ roll and playing rock ‘n’ roll and letting the story kind of tell itself rather than create revisionist (history)
Tre Cool then said
People ask what is it like to make a record. It’s like someone asking what a sausage tastes like, you can describe it – or you can just hand someone a sausage.
