Green Day coming to Rock Band in some capacity

Greenday has all of the pretensiousness of pop and punk rolled into one. They start out somewhat in a genre that rebels against artistry, then turn around over a decade later and start churning out concept albums. At one end of their careers they were turning out apathetic sophomoric slacker quasi punk, now they switch to this semi-socially-aware rock opera thing and I am not buying it. The punk scene was talking about social and geopolitical issues of the couple of decades, and when 9/11, Iraq, and Afghanistan situations escalated there was a strong groundswell of punk speaking out. Then GreenDay shows back up with shirts, ties, and eyeliner and we are supposed to buy it all of a sudden? Sorry but I call bullshit.

Their music is easy, save for drums. Beginners learning guitar can pick up and play their entire catalogue in a week or two. Billy Joe isnt exactly known for his vocal range either.

Ahhh, and the Green Day hatefest begins. Ever since American Idiot they've just become one of those bands that people hate because they think it's cool.

Well, screw those people. Green Day are one of my favorite bands, and it's about damn time they got something out on GH or RB. I can't wait.

Aerosmith
Metallica
Van Halen
The Beatles
Green Day

Which of the above doesn't belong?

I hope they drop a big Dookie on my 360

A Green Day Rock Band would suck, because all of their songs are exactly the same!

And Billie Joe is an idiot and has no business trying to make any sort of political statement. His lyrics were better when he wrote about smoking pot and jacking off.

do all their songs consist of hold the green and blue notes ?

ya well isnt rockband like not have any swear words in it im not agenst swearing i do it all the time its just a lot of green days good songs swear a lot so idk if rockband would just edit that or something

Idk y every1 hates Green Day soo much. u got a problem with them fine. but i am sooo sick of every fucking person preaching all this shit about the band. i bet more than half of u haters dont no a thing about music. so fuck off and go suck a cock

It's almost impossible to say whether music is good or bad. It all comes down to individual taste.

However, the closest we can come to objectively deciding if music is good or bad is to look to music critics. They almost overwhelming gave favorable reviews to nearly every Green Day album.

I've been a Green Day fan since I first heard Dookie in elementary school. I'm looking forward to their Rock Band game.

And to those who bash Green Day for not being "punk" or whatever, I'm sorry you have to view everything through a lens of narrowly defined genres. Sure, maybe they aren't punk. They aren't polka, either. Who gives a rat's ass what they are?
