Green Day

Green Day is coming to Rock Band. Finally. I mean, it makes sense right? The band has a ton of fans and they fit under the umbrella of “rock” so it’s a pretty natural move.

What’s not all that clear is whether we’ll be seeing a full Rock Band: Green Day game or a track pack. I’d personally vote for downloadable tracks because we’d all get our hands on them sooner but if I had to guess, I’d say they’re working on a full game. They have more than enough tracks to fill an entire game and you’d think that downloadable tracks would have been made available already if they weren’t working on a full game.

Luckily, Green Day frontman Billy Joe Armstrong cleared it all up for everyone on KROQ this morning when he said:

“Uh yeah, we’re doing a whole Green Day Rock Band… uh.” And when asked when we’d see the game, he said. “I’m not sure… soon. Like I think not this week, but this year soon… by the end of this year.”

So “a whole Green Day Rock Band” would make it seem like an entire game and the fact that the band hasn’t gone in to do all the motion capture stuff means that it probably won’t be out for a while. All of this information is still in limbo so take everything with a grain of salt. We’ll hopefully hear more soon.

  • The idea of Metallica and Green Day having their own Rock Band isn’t that appealing too me. But the Beatles having their own is pretty awesome.

  • No way Green Day falls under rock. Grunge, maybe…their early stuff. But not rock.

    I’m surprised nobody has done a Nirvana Rock Band yet. They’re grunge too, but a better band. How about just a “grunge” Rock Band? Get some Alice in Chains, Soundgarden, Bush, Pearl Jam, STP, and such on there. Would make a hell of a soundtrack, anyways. Green Day could open for ‘em…maybe. On a smaller stage.

  • Rock Band sucks…

    GH FTW!!!

    • Dude how is guitar hero better than rock band. guitar hero just puts a bunch of random notes making the songs harder and they have a new one out every month. Harmonix takes there time to release a good game like Rock Band. and Green Day is the best band in the world

      • green days not the best band in the world, though they’re good. sum 41 and my chemical romance are the best bands in the world. MAYBE a third or forth for green day.. i have no opinion on weather guitar hero or rock band are best, i’ve only tried guitar hero.

  • THIS IS GUNNA BE ACE!
    Except I prefer Guitar Hero …
    Either way, a whole game of Green Day sounds pretty freaking spectacular!

  • Man you guys really just pissed me off, it was are idea to make a guitar hero green day, rock band sucks, we have planned this for months but you guys fucked it up for us, if you make it into rock band and not guitar hero then I would be pissed. You guys suck. Green day rocks. ROCK BAND SUCKS!!!!!

    • GH sucks look at the tracklists GH was kool till GHWT that just killed the series rockband has more kool DLC and also a better tracklists all the dlc for rockband is like all the GH together pretty sad GH is maybe running out of tricks giving away van helen to sell GH5 lol sice it sucks on sales van helen will suck like GH arosmith that game is horrible so GH sucks rockband rules Green day rules

  • green days biggest fan - September 10th, 2009 at 7:33 am GMT+5

    The only reason u say roc band sucks is cause u have gh but if u have gh stuff then u can use it on rock band any ways if u dont like green day why are you reading this because green day is rock punk so go away if u think green day suck because i think they rock and rock band and gh are same at first i was mestaken for them so go away NON GREEN DAY FANS

  • GH is proven to be harder then rockband, but both are good in their own respect. i think it took either RB or GH long enough to put them into a game! and if you dont like greenday i agree they have changed, um like thats usally what happens when you GROW UP! but if you never liked them then obviously you ve been under a rock, or maybe tonedef! if your tonedef i can totally understand y you would like these games over playing the real thing.! thats much easier!

  • yeah im a huge Green Day fan. i cant wait for this game to come out. i have the beatles rock band. the beatles and green day are my fav bands. and its “Billie Joe” not “Billiy Joe” and green day is rock. theyre alternative, punkrock, rock… etc. and green day is pretty popular, so its about damn time theyre making a green day rock band.

  • omg seriously!?
    im so gonna be the first one to buy it.
    I wished for that since 2007 and YES finally.
    I fucking love Green Day and if you dont,
    KISS MY ASS MOTHER FUCKER!

  • HEY GREEN DAY IS THE BEST BAND EVER!!!!!!!!!!!! AND IF U DONT AGREE THAT THEY SHOULD HAVE A ROCK BAND GAME THAN U CAN GO AND FRAK YOURSELF!!!!!!!!!!!!! BESIDES GREEN DAY IS SO AWESOME THAT THEY DESERVE A ROCK BAND AND A GUITAR HERO SO ALL U LITTLE WINY BABIES ABOUT WHETHER IT SHOULD BE A ROCK BAND OR A GUITAR HERO CAN ALL GET STRUCK BY LIGHTNING!!!!!!!!GREEN DAY IS THE BEST ALL OF U (ESPECIALLY THOSE WHO HATE GREEN DAY) GO FRAK YOURSELVES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • If there gonna the song Holiday, do you think BJ is going to say ‘And this next song here is a big F*CK YOU to all the politicians, this song is not anti-anerican ITS ANTI WAAAR!!!’
    Do you think?

  • its spelt billie

  • they should turn their bullet in a bible live album into a rock band track pack like ac/dc live

  • OMG…….
    I really can’t for the game to come out
    I LOVE GREEN DAY so much well i’m like a big fan of GREEN DAY. And my dream came true about a game of GREEN DAY

    WOW . .

  • All I can say is sell-outs. They went from punk, to pop-punk to this emo stuff. It’s sad really

  • GREENDAY R AWESOME IVE BEEN SO LOOK ING FORWARD TO THIS, IVE GOT ALL OF THEIR ALBUMS. I HOPE THEY HAVE SONGS FROM SMOOTHED OUT SLAPPY HOURS, and if they have ST. JIMMY DO YOU RECKON HE WILL SAY AT THE END “DONT U FUKIN WEAR IT OUT” I REALLY HOPE SO AND 9 MINUTES OF PURE BLISS WITH JESUS OF SURBUBIA (DROOLS)……………………….hell yeah

  • Green Day forever! Can’t wait to get the RB of em!

  • Green Day ♥
    Sure.. their music has changed a bit.. but what does it matter.. Their music still F**king kicks ASS, and at least they can go out their and write/sing songs like East Jesus Nowhere and Holiday.. That’s the way Green Day are and if you don’t like it don’t even bother commenting on here because real Green Day fans don’t give a toss what you have to say.
    And btw, i think this game is going be AWESOME and i can’t wait to play it.
    :)

  • IM green days biggest fan!!!!! make it!!!!!! idc how long it takes just make it in my lifetime
    !!

  • No disrespect, Green Day is a good band and all, but a whole game?? I think harmonix reacted to fast to the sales of Beatles: RB and now want to make a game of EVERY band they think will sell. They’re gonna end up like Guitar Hero with a million games that less and less people will buy. I was looking forward to RB3 anyway :/
