Green Day: Rock Band Coming This Year?

image

Green Day front man Billy Joe Armstrong revealed the existence of something that sounds a lot like a Green Day: Rock Band project, though he doesn't seem to be entirely sure about it himself.

Oh to be a rock star. So flush with multiple sources of income, you can't even accurately describe a single one of them if asked.

Billy Joe Armstrong of popular-as-ever pop punk outfit Green Day recently let spill (probably causing a PR person somewhere to do a spit take) the existence of a partnership between his band and Harmonix/MTV/etc that will result in something that sounds like a Green Day: Rock Band game to go along with The Beatles: Rock Band and Pearl Jam: Rock Band.

Armstrong was doing a radio show when a caller phoned in to ask him when Green Day's songs would appear in Rock Band, and Armstrong answered by saying: "Uh yeah, we're doing a whole Green Day Rock Band...uh." That could be a track pack, but sounds a bit more like a full-fledged game. And if Pearl Jam's getting one, why shouldn't Green Day?

Billy Joe then let slip some more highly informative tidbits about the game's release. "I'm not sure [when it'll come out]...soon," he said. "Like I think not this week, but this year soon...by the end of this year."

Well if this is true than Maxi will man-gasm. If it comes out for PC, if not he will go all nerd-rage.

For actual tracks I feel that most of these will be pretty bland gameplay wise. Punk isn't known for its amazing guitar solos, sweeping drums, intense bass lines, and epic vocals, and Green Day are no exception. Except "Boulevard of Broken Dreams" if I get to sing that life will be happy.

ROCK BAND: IRON MAIDEN!

This, this a thousand times over. I might actually buy Rock Band if they made that.

Oh no...Not you too Harmonix...Wait. *remembers AC/DC rock band* Forget it.

Green Day? You've gotta be kidding me...

And hell to the yes!

I sure hope not Rock Band: Green Day. Green Day sucks. Straight up, just sucks. Make a good game, like Rock Band: Ozzy, or something.

I can name plenty of green day songs with amazing guitar solos.... like... erm... well... there are the intense bass lines... you know them... you know... like... most of them... oh who am i kidding.

Just release Boulevard of Broken Dreams as a stand alone download, and be done with it.

I can't understand why they don't just release it as downloadable content. Oh well, I probably won't buy it either way, but there would have been a better chance if it was DLC.

Agreed. If it's anything like the AC/DC songs they'll probably release them in an over-priced disk release.

Rock band Lamb of God plz.

2 words.

Freakin' Awesome.

NOW!!! SPECIAL RELEASE OFFER!!! Rock Band: Green Day. JUST £25 for 20 songs.

Rock Band: Pearl Jam-Yes!
Rock Band: Green Day-Nooooooo!

Why make a game that's mostly about a band that's mediocre and overrated? I'd much rather see a genre game over a certain band game. IE: Metal Rock Band would be better than just Metallica Rock Band (yes I know it's Metallica Guitar Hero).

Is green day really influential enough to warrent they're own release? Beatles, Metallica...Greenday?

Next we'll have Rockband; Broke'NCYDE

I would prefer Rock Band: Pink Floyd. You won't get the game till you're high.

Everyone listen to Jesus of Suburbia. Now. I will wait.

Still don't think they deserve a rock band game?

OH GOD.

THE HORROR.

I'd definitely get that. Sod my student budget and lack of finance, Green Day are too awesome for me to miss this out.

Hell yes they do, I'd love to play through all of that. That would definitely make my day :)

I'd probably pick up a Green Day add-on. Both American Idiot and their new album would be fun to play through, though I don't know if I'd want to play through all the tracks all the time.

At the very least I'd love to get some of their songs as DLC. I'd really like to play Holiday in particular - that would be great fun.

this tuesday they're releasing an iron maiden 12 pack =D , not a full game but still 12 songs is nice :)

OT, im willing to bet that it is just going to be a large track pack, i can't see this going into a full game. And since when did they announce Pearl Jam rock band? omg that'll be terrible :( (decent music, but boring as heck to play)

Green Day, eh? Popular, but not what I'd choose. I'd someone both highly influential and popular despite numerous decades. Okay you could argue that Green Day fit that bill, but I still think Harmonix could go better (they got The Beatles).

scnj:
ROCK BAND: IRON MAIDEN!

Yeah, that sounds like the sort of band they'd go for, Led Zeppelin or Queen would be a good choice too.

Punk isn't known for its amazing guitar

Never heard jugdes daugther than?(note only 16 second solo,but its pretty epic and you could just spice it up within unoticability

Buy now and you get collectible Billie Joe Armstrong Rock band Guitars! Buy the Guitars that play sub-par guitar now!

No, I'd rather not have this, Green Day is lame.

WANT WANT WANT WANT WANT!

So...to quote Billy Joe..."uh"...am I the only one who'd like to see a..."uh"...

Rock Band: Dire Straits?

and

Indie Rock Band?

I'll take the 12-pack of Iron Maiden songs tomorrow and be content with what I have. I'd much rather have one disk with a ton of DLC rather than a bunch of disks that I have to interchange.

Rock Band: Judas Priest

Come-on Harmonix, you know we want it.

Rock Band: Green Day? What the hell are these people smoking? What's next? Rock Band: Jonas Brothers? Rock Band: Avril Lavigne? Rock Band: Nickelback?

Shame on you, Harmonix. Unless you make Rock Band: Tool, Rock Band: Ozzy Osbourne, Rock Band: Pantera, and Rock Band: Def Leppard all at once and release them in the same month, you can not recover from this.

Well this will be popular with all the girls, no doubt my sister will want to buy it if it becomes true. Although I would LOVE to see a Linkin Park Rock Band, my reasoning for this is: My favorite band, and i know the words to 90% of their songs, I probably wouldn't be able to hit some of the notes though, chester is nuts.

Rock Band: Green Day? That's it, punk is dead. If it wasn't already a twitching, rotting corpse it certainly is now. I'm selling my guitars right now and becoming a stockbroker.
