Rock Band Fans, Get Ready for Green Day
June 9th, 2009
Rock Band is missing a lot of rock bands that seem like obvious inclusions, and one of them is the longlived band Green Day. But not to fret, fans–the trio is on its way to a set of little plastic instruments near you. The question is, are we getting a full length Green Day game, a la the coming Beatles and Pearl Jam games?
This new speculation comes after an interview with LA station KROQ conducted with Billie Joe Armstrong, in which the frontman said, “Uh yeah, we’re doing a whole Green Day Rock Band… uh.” And when asked about the timeframe, he said. “I’m not sure… soon. Like I think not this week, but this year soon… by the end of this year.”
So, we have a pause and an “uh,” which seems a fair foundation to base rumor and speculation that this is more than a trackpack on. But a full game coming soon, from the sound of it? Was Armstrong being mysterious, or are mountains being made from molehills here? Either way, Green Day is coming to Rock Band… in some capacity.

honestly, i hate the rock band/guitar hero games that are centered around one band. it doesn’t help that most of the bands they choose, while iconic, aren’t ones that i’m a fan of.
i like the idea of a track pack a lot better than a whole game centered around one band. i would much rather have an awesomely huge variety, even if i don’t like all the songs or artists on it.
Building on that idea, why not have DLC for RB2 anyways?
a whole disk is a little “Over-Kill”?
and i’m looking forward to this!
I really hope they do release a full-length Green Day Rock Band and they should put it on PS2, PS3, Wii and XBOX 360º. I love Green Day :)
This should be very interesting. I got dibs on the drum set!!!
