Green Day: Rock Band Coming This Year?



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 [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/91642], 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."

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.

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

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).
