    Re: Rock Band: Green Day

    Wow. I had no idea Green Day was this popular. Guess it depends on what circles you travel in. I don't think I have any friends who would even consider this game.

      Re: Rock Band: Green Day

      I'm really dissappointed I wanted a Rock Band 3 to address some of the issues i have with the interface and other minor problems and instead I get a group that I really don't care about. I would think they would start doing DLC packs instead of full games but I think MTV is pressuring Harmonix to do this because they think it will make more money.

        I couldn't find a single website/source/etc. that mentioned any connection between the Stiff Little Fingers and Green Day, so honestly I have no idea what he's talking about.

        Consider me interested in hearing what they "stole" as well.

          After seeing some of the improvements with GH5, I hope we don't have to wait till next Fall for RB3. Late Spring early summer release would be great, but now with Green Day it throws things off a little bit.

            I think if you watch the movie High Fidelity with John Cusak, there's a mention of how SLF was an "influenced/how similar thier music is"(I forget the wording in the movie) on Green Day.

                  I used to sing in a punk band in highschool that got a decent following. I was heavily into the punk scene from 1992-2001.

                  Stiff Little Fingers are nothing like Greenday. They are a grassroots, punk as f*** band. Dirty, Raw, underproduced



                  now I can understand if someone said GD especially Billy Joe was influenced by them. that's the extent of it though. But the similarities are the nature of the punk scene. I could show you 10 bands that sound exactly the same lol.

                  I actually think they are quite dissimillar given the punk scene.

                  The comparison is very weak and it's possible BJA never even heard their songs - they formed greenday in 1989 (and were playing together well before that) during a time in California where the most influencial punk band was Operation Ivy (Tim Armstrong from Rancid was in the band) - many concider them the most influencial punk band of all time.

                  I think Greenday found a rather unique niche to fit in the california punk scene at the time and years later became a pop phenomenon. Their style has always been much lighter and easier in nature for people outside the punk scene to appreciate.

                  I don't think Greenday has ever ripped off anyone to be honest.

                    ...just The Clash with that awful I Fought the Law cover. (Yes I know The Clash one was a cover too.) A punk band much more deserving of their own game,especially since we've only got one of their big songs. Them or The Ramones.

                      I'm a big ramones fan...and I like the clash, but for a standalone game they should have done rock-band: punk rock and had a rancid, greenday, ramones, clash, pennywise etc.

                        Not my thing, I find the band incredibly boring. Anyways, with exportable stuff, do you just export the songs? Or do you get like extra career guitars and clothing and anything extra the game would include?

                          To be honest Billie is pretty original. He was doing that stuff he does now in HighSchool. I still remember when my band beat him in the talent show. Though there is no doubt that the Ramones were a very big influence on him.

                            Hm they do kinda of sound like Billie. Maybe this was an influence I will ask his brother to ask Billie. I still think the Ramones had a bigger influence. Greenday would have never become as big as they are with out Tre though. When he join the band they took off. I will still get this game and rock out! Even though this is not my kind of music, but growing with Billie and Mike and being good friends with them to this day. I guess I am bias. If I didn't know them I would not be into their music at all. I think the only reason I do like them is becasue I know them.

                              Older greenday music was pretty punk. Especially their music before Dookie. Rancid could have been as big as Greenday in my opinion, but they would not "sell out" if you know what I mean. Though Greenday did, because they needed a bigger production company. The one they had before could not get that music out fast enough to the people that wanted it. So they so called Sell out! It is funny I had another friend that was in that punk screen and he now hated Billie for that, pretty much everyone did. It was weird. I guess I understand why they did what they did.

                                It's always like that with Punk, when you get popular you're a sellout. I think Green Day's done a good job holding on to their roots while their music matures and changes as they do...

                                Hardcore genre fans love to follow the unknown band, once someone goes mainstream they're no longer cool.
