Twenty One Pilots were almost on ‘Top Gun: Maverick’ soundtrack

[Teletubby 114,405]

There’s an alternate universe where Twenty One Pilots might have been the musical face of the Top Gun: Maverick sequel instead of Lady Gaga.
According to singer Tyler Joseph, he and drummer Josh Dun had been tapped to appear on the soundtrack to the follow-up to the beloved 1986 fighter pilot drama before the movie’s start allegedly hit the ejector seat button on them.

“I was working with the music placement person for the new Top Gun on writing a new song for them and then I believe Tom Cruise just came in and just fired everyone,” Joseph said. Noting that the trailer has been around for “a few years” (it first dropped in July 2019) and that the film has gone a series of overhauls as it was delayed by the COVID-19 pandemic, Joseph said his band was “a part of that.”

maybe hiring a band named aftera story of airplane accidents where 21 pilots died made Tom a little worried

[River 89,326]

Gaga: Tom, it's time to take out trash

Tom: wha- what?

Gaga: You heard me, I want to be on the soundtrack

Tom: Bu-but 21 Pilot

Gaga: Fired.

Tom: It's my movie, my soundtrack Lady.

LMAO I’m sorry but the Tom Cruise just came in and fired everyone part is sending me for some reason omg 

 

 

I do love TOP though & am curious what their song would have sounded like. Granted, I just can’t imagine their sound with the Top Gun franchise

Because it may be true. Tom himself said he wasn't happy with the music before Gaga. This story sounds exactly like they negotiated with a staff member whose idea the boss (Tom) didn’t like.
