Re: Rock Band: Green Day
Review from Gamepro:
I was wrong to assume Green Day didn't carry a comparable amount of cultural cachet as the Fab Four, and it only took one song for me to "get" why Green Day: Rock Band made sense. As soon as Mike Dirnt's groovy bass line during "She" exploded into its aggressive chorus, I saw that Green Day is a better fit for Rock Band than any band I can think of, and that's including The Beatles. That's not to say that this is a better Rock Band game, or that Green Day is a better musical act; my point is that the balls-out rocking of Green Day's music is a much better fit for the medium.

Re: Rock Band: Green Day
It is BS they did not sell out. Sorry to be so heated, but I know Billie and Mike personally. And still talk to them to this day. THEY DID NOT SELL OUT! The bottom line is they had to go large, because the little company that they were with could not get enough CD's out fast and enough. Billie did it for the fans and then when they got huge that ****ed with him big time, then he got over it. He still trips over meeting with these record dudes and they are all there to make money off him. Believe it or not Billie is very shy in person, except when he is on stage. I remember just about 2 years ago I was hanging out with him a high school reunion. Even though he didn't graduated he came and all these people were star struck. I could tell it was ****ing with him big time. I was like come on guys this is Billie our old childhood friend. I am glad they did this though. I remember about a year ago someone on here knew I knew Billie and asked about how come they never did a rock band. I asked his brother and he didn't know the answer, but told me he would ask Billie, then all a sudden the news comes that they are doing one. Crazy? Maybe or maybe I am just that lucky.Any way they are not sell outs.
I will say this MTV made them BIG!

Gilman Street can't be a venue because they were banned when they ditched Look Out Records, plus Dookie was never played on Gilman. So they crafted a generic area that represents the House Parties they used to perform at.
Plus they have captured the essence of Green Day live in this game. Have you seen the videos of songs performed at Milton Keynes? It's nearly a shot by shot copy of the Bullet in the Bible show. There are giant crowd sing alongs, BJ running all over the stage, the real pyro effects, etc, etc.
Oh yes the banned. I do believe that is over now. I remember going into the bathroom there and listening to my friends band and it said **** Billie Joe. That was classic. They were all pissed because that was their special way of sticking it to the big record companies. The problem is Greenday was just too big for that market. They had so more many fans and were going larger every time they played. They could not get out the CD's fast enough. I remember selling CD's out of Mike car we had about 1,000 I if I remember right this was about 20 plus years, they were gone in minutes and they still had a lot more people wanting more. It was crazy that is when I was like **** they are getting big. I had no idea just how big they would get. I did know once they got Tre I knew they would take off even more. Tre is just so damn good.Comment

That punk world is something else though. I had some great times growing up there.

Re: Rock Band: Green Day
Really why? They are song writers and very talented and Billie is very talented too. So why not be in that company. They have been around for over 25 years now and they have won Grammys and they had won a lot of awards. Billie is a great song writer. Just listen to basket case and tell me how many 18 year olds can write something that deep. And yes it is deep song believe it or not. What makes Dlyan and the Boss so great the years they been around? Well if Billie is still playing at age 60 and I think you are going to have to put him in this category if they are still making good music. I am not a real big fan of their music believe it or not, but one thing I give them credit for is changing as they get older. Their sounds and lyrics. I am bias when it comes to this band, so I like them a lot but that is because I know them.If I didn't know them I would not really be into them at all. Through I would be into Basket case. There is just something about that song that really hits, maybe I am little crazy.

I'd say that BJ's song writing is more on the Elvis Costello level, not that it's a bad thing.Comment

And yes, I actually enjoy their music but come on, man. I literally almost burst into laughter earlier when someone said that Green Day were more talented and put on a better live show than Tool. I mean, that is just ridiculous, opinion or not. Ridiculous.
On topic: I will be picking this game up and exporting into my RB2 library. Maybe I'll actually hang on to the disc and knock out a few achievements before trading it in as well, we'll see.Last edited by 55; 06-01-2010, 10:39 PM.Comment
