The news came during the nationally syndicated Kevin and Bean Show on KROQ in Los Angeles today, after an audience member asked the band about possibly appearing in Rock Band sometime soon. Billy Joe, the band’s lead singer, replied, “Yeah. We’re doing a whole Green Day Rock Band.”
Joe was a bit cagier on the finer details, like if the project would be a full game (ala the upcoming The Beatles: Rock Band

), or if Harmonix would just be releasing albums or song packs featuring the band's music. However, Joe did go on to say that fans could expect to see the game/DLC sometime by the end of the year.
Why it has taken so long for the band to appear in either Rock Band or Guitar Hero

, is something I asked myself just this past weekend during a particularly satisfying Rock Band session. Weird, eh? Harmonix has yet to comment on the news, but when I hear something, you'll be the first to know.

Agreed. We need Green Day in Rock Band or Guitar Hero. But please, Harmonix and Activision: No more peripherals for at least a few years. I just don't have any more space. I feel like Stewie's diaper that time when Lois went to jail.

It's about time a band like this should have had songs on here a long time ago, and whats with the tiny bit of Blink 182 song's?
The_Vanderliser

JTHMROCKS
Awesome. Day 1 buy for me.

as true blue GH fan loyal and all I might pick this up if it's only on rock band but here is hoping it goes to GH because I would like it more on GH the style fits me more.

Isn't the new business model for RB is to come out with a new game for each band, not just release songs of the bands for the existing game? Shouldn't this be Green Day Rock Band? With Disturb Rock Band, Korn Rock Band, and Mylie Cyrus Rock Band in the works. With this model, they can have a new game coming out every week for the next 20+ years.

The only individual band Rock Band game ever so far is Beatles Rock Band. GH has 2 already with a 3rd in the works. And AC/DC doesn't count; that's basically a disc of "DLC" because AC/DC doesn't understand DLC.

My snippet was an exaggerated social commentary. But with the Legos gaming franchise running full blast, I wouldn't be surprise of other games follow suit. Legos Star Wars was grand because of its novelty. Legos Batman, Legos Indiana Jones, and Legos Harry Potter are inadvertently taking that novelty to the backyard and shooting it.

Blah! I'll pass.

Keaton_man
Wow
since when they decide to add fail bands? AC/DC, Beatles, then green day
which band doesn't belong?

You know why it's taken so long, cause Green Day sucks. Who the hell would want Green Day as DLC let alone A GAME!? Modern Bands suck. It's only rare that we get a good one, and this is a 15 year old talking. Classic bands are better and our generation sucks at making music.

Yes, it's true! Download three exclusive tracks from Green Day's new album, 21st Century Breakdown, for your RockBand. Visit rockband.com for more info.
