Is Iridescent DOTM Linkin Park song?

I said it before and ill say it again...boy bands suck. Bring on some hip hop for DOTM

i think this song works perfectly for what i believe this 3rd and final (unfortunately) will be. its a very emotional song about things coming to an end and coming to terms with them. i will feel very emotional when my favorite film franchise of all times comes to an end.

I don't know. It less sad-tuned than BIS. I'm liking them both.
My guess is...

...That they should include them both in the Movie.
Irid should maybe be when someone of the main characters is remembering someone leaving or dying.

BIS however is a bit darker (and colder too, if I may) and would fit more maybe to the end credits as Prime gives another one of his 'famous speeches'. Maybe during some action, too.

Indeed I do thanks.

If theres one thing you should know, For the Billionth Time, Linkin Park is NOT A BOYBAND! If They are, then that makes Practically every male-only group a freakin BOYBAND, wich, I Hesitated to mention, would be 95 freekin percent of the RAP/HIP~HOP/R&B WORLD!!!! Furthermore, you should LIKE Linkin Park at this point, cause all they do is HIP-HOP now! I understand that, to you, it's all about, or if you reply, it will be all about the "Movie Soundtrack" I'm sorry, but HIP-HOP and Giant Frikin robots that scrap and blow up entire cities in fistfights and all out wars? they just don't mix .

In all fairness this is a public forum and Rated X does have the right to voice his opinion. We don't have to agree with each other (Primus knows most folks don't often care for my opinion most times) but we do have the right to be heard. No, LP is not a "Boy Band" but likewise saying that Hip-Hop doesn't mix with Giant F'ing Robots is also not an accurate statement IMO. Would not the song "Second to None" which was associated with Bumblebee and included on the first movie soundtrack fall into the category of Hip-Hop? Do I much give a damn if it DOES fall into that category? Yes and No respectively to those questions.
Give me enough time and I can find a freaking Country song that will actually work well with portions of the movies. Everyones tastes are different and everyone comes away from the movies and soundtracks with something different.

That having been said, after listening to both Iridescent and Burning In the Skies, I would have to say that I think Burning would be a better selection for the soundtrack. Iridescent is a great song from a lyrical standpoint but taking into account that the bulk of the movie is going to be loud and raucous and Iridescent is so subdued for the first 2/3 of the song I fear that it would be overshadowed and rendered pointless. With Burning I feel that there would be more opportunity for it's use in an action based setting and I found the content to give a better overall feel of what both the humans and the TF's would be dealing with in this film.
It's all just my opinion and honestly, I think Burning should run sometime during the course of the film and Iridescent should played at the end and maybe lead into the final credits of the film. I have little doubt that the final scene of DotM is not going to be a happy one and Iridescent would be a good song to "fade out" to.

If they REALLY want a good song from A Thousand Suns to go in DOTM, they should pick Wretches and Kings. I absolutely love Iridescent and Burning in the Skies, but they're too mellow and cerebral (not that I don't like cerebral). Usually, you want to go out with a bang for the third installment of a major blockbuster movie franchise. By 'bang,' I mean a blasting Hip-Hop/Mechanical/Rap song throughout the movie.

Wretches and Kings would be perfect for DOTM. Here's the opening "speech" clip. It goes really well with the genre of the movie.

"There's a time when the operation of the machine becomes so odious, makes you so sick at heart, that you can't take part. You can't even passively take part. And you've got to put your bodies upon the gears and upon the wheels, upon the levers. Upon all the apparatus and you've got to make it stop."

The overall message of the song isn't quite right, but they reference "the machine" over and over again all throughout the lyrics. And the movie's all about giant robots that blow up cities.

Machine = robot. 'Nuff said.

Ide like to apologise to you all for my indifferent outburst! I was just in a terrable mood, woke up with a headache, you know the Drill. ANYWAY Ide like to apologise first and foremost to rated X. I find myself agreeing with alot of what you say, and again, hangover, Headache, excedren wasnt working, but enough complaints. All I REALLY Disagree on, it turns out, is the whole Boy-Band thing. But otherwise, I Was immature, regardless of my conditions. PLEASE FORGIVE!!! I Like some Hip~Hop, It's just when it's about Drugs, Sex, Gangs, And shooting, I cant stand it! So, I Suppose Ide have to agree with everything you said, Prowl123 was it? Still dont know how to post off of other's comments But I Like Fort Minor and eminem and usha, at least some of their songs. Like Prowl123 said Wretches and kings? Hell yeah! As for a fitting country song? hm you know that one The thunder rolls? Sad theme were all you hear is the song and it's raining, and Sam and Carly are split up unwillingly by military men

I liked Linkin Park for a very short time back in 04. But that because their music was attached to some videos I liked on youtube.

Some years later, and their music just seems like trash to me. I prefer music that stays in the 80s-90s spirit of rock, or just anything that isn't disgustingly over-popular, whatever.

The Beatles were a boy band.

I would enjoy seeing criteria qualifying LP as a "boy band" that does not also qualify The Rolling Stones and The Who as boy bands.
