I think that was their hat tip to the game, but I don't think it'll be in here unless it rolls on credits at the end of an episode.

The director said he'd be comfortable using it with the timelines, there was also other options. But nothing confirmed either way.
I think we get Joel reaching for the guitar in a flashback soon and all of us are gonna be glued to see what he plays.

Yeah, in the Last of Us podcast Craig Mazen (director), when asked about "Future Days" and the timeline he more or less said "I don't care about the damn timeline we might just use the song either way". We shall see.
Also, on the episode 4 podcast (last night's episode), Neil Druckmann (who wrote and directed the game) said he went on set with Mike McCready and they walked through that music store and got to see the set made up exactly like the game.

Thought that was cool...
Which episode of the podcast did Craig say they might do the song?

Ep 1. The title of the episode was Future Days. Mazen talked about it and really wants to use it. Again, not sure if that means he will/did or just wanted to.

Well they already filmed the episodes so they either did or

Hey clearly didn't want to say. Even though the timeline wouldn't work, I want to hear it.
I think in the game Ellie plays the opening chords of Future Days before she sings Take on me for Dina. From what I've heard
She does play the beginning of Future Days before Take on me in the game. Future Days is kind of played throughout the game, and has a very subtle but emotional impact in one of the final scenes of the game. I guess it doesn’t need to be FD but hope they can still recreate that moment in the show.

From the teaser trailer last year that scene is coming
I have written often in other threads that the only thing that could get Pearl Jam to have a mainstream hit again would be for a song to be featured prominently in a major movie or TV series, a la "Running Up That Hill" in Stranger Things. I will be very interested to see what happens if "Future Days" gets that kind of exposure, especially since it has middle-of-the-road ballad appeal that makes it more palatable to a wider audience than the rock audience.

It was on Grey's Anatomy and How I Met Your Mother. When Lightning Bolt came out Future Days was one of the songs that did well that opening week with iTunes downloads if I remember correctly. Streaming numbers weren't counted yet for the charts. I'm sure the appearances on those shows helped boost it but not enough. The game was a massive hit. But Joel sings it. So not everyone playing knew the song or maybe Pearl Jam. But it had a modest boost in streams. On the show if it appears Joel will sing it there too. I think more people know it's a Pearl Jam song now than when it first appeared in the game. But if it's just Joel singing that first part of the song. I don't know if people who don't know it's a real song will look it up. All or None was used for a few seconds and had a bump not enough to chart I don't believe.
Who cares about the timeline. It's a show about a fungus that turns people into zombies. Is anyone going to get hung up if they play a song that came out of a few years after the fungus spread? If so, are they going to complain that the world never really ended either and there are no fungus zombies, but yet the shows portrays it like it did? Seems like an odd thing to get stuck on if you're watching a zombie show. I hope they use the song.

Yeah and in the game I’m pretty sure they treated it like a song Joel had written. It wasn’t like hey Ellie here’s this Pearl Jam song I’m learning on guitar.

Correction, the events in the game started in Sept 2013 and Lightning Bolt was released in October so the song wasn’t officially released. Someone actually asked the creator about this and he said that the song wasn’t officially released but played once live before (Wrigley) and in his mind Joel had memorized and learned it from the live version.

I think he was in the pit, I remember him next to me. Just seems like an odd thing to get hung up on or have to explain given the storyline. Maybe it was an alternate universe where PJ released everything in the 90s.
Or maybe, Joel somehow knew Eddie from way back in the day....they became friends and Ed played him the song that was created back in 2003, before the outbreak, but it never came to light or on an album... hahahahaha Whoa, maybe Eddie will make an appearance in a flashback with Joel/Pedro. LOL
I'm just messing....but yeah, in the game the song was super important and i hope they keep it. As Mace said, it's fictional...who the f cares?

Joel dragged his daughter to camp out all day with him in the GA line. “Today is the day where I finally get a tambo” he thought to himself. Some in the line got a little fussy when he stepped out for longer than normal to check out the merch tent and get a bite to eat. “But I have a number written on my hand he says.” The crowd objected, but ultimately couldn’t deny the official number written on his hand. Joel secured his spot in the pit about two rows back between Mike and Ed. Things were going great until the storms rolled in and the field was cleared. “I’ll never get my tambo now Joel thought.” It was a mad dash back to the pit when the crowd was allowed back on the field and Joel couldn’t get back to the same place “But I have an official number on my hand!” he yelled. But the crowd didn’t care. Dejected that he couldn’t get his prime tambo spot back, Joel pouted until he heard Future Days. “That song is so beautiful I’m going to memorize it and play it for my daughter.” “Hopefully they don’t add piano at the beginning and end in the official recording” he thought to himself. Unfortunately for Joel, he didn’t get his tambo that day. Months later as the zombie apocalypse began, Joel used his experience fighting his way through the GA pit to fight his way through the hordes of zombies. Weaponless, he thought to himself if “I only had a tambo, I could bash these zombies heads in with it”..
Hung up maybe was too strong, but there's been debate if they could/should/would play the song with the timeline difference. My opinion with shows like these, where people syphon gas from 20 year old cars, still have a surplus of ammo after 20+ of an apocalypse, etc, just enjoy the show and ignore the musical timeline.
