More Green Day headed to Rock Band

by Richard Mitchell on Dec 5th 2009 6:30AM

In simple terms, Green Day and Rock Band are friends. There have already been several Green Day tracks released for Harmonix's musically inclined baby and it was announced today that even more are on their way later this month. Starting December 15 on the Wii and Xbox 360 – and December 17 on the Playstation 3 – players will be able to grab three new Green Day tracks from the band's 21st Century Breakdown album: "Christian's Inferno," "Last of the American Girls," and "¡Viva La Gloria!". The tracks will be available individually for $1.99 / 160

/ 200 Wii points. The full track pack will be available on PS3 and Xbox 360 for $5.49 / 440

Probably just gonna download ¡Viva La Gloria!.

Hey sort of of topic, but my brother and I have both downloaded tracks on our seperate xbox live accounts, and now it will only let us play the songs that we downloading on our account.
I can't play songs that my brother downloaded and vise versa, it worked before though.
Anyone know what thats about?

Just use one account if you still live together. Transfer all the songs from one to the other and get rid of the other account. The reason for this is merely increased security.

I believe you both must be signed in unless your on the same 360.

Just make sure both profiles are signed in while you are playing and it should relieve the problem. You can both be signed in but have only one person playing and you will have access to all of the songs. But the transfer thing would also work. I have some songs I need to do that with. How do you transfer the songs to another profile anyway?

Okay, that's two packs from 21st century breakdown. That's enough, time for some stuff from other Green Day albums.

I really hope the Green Day 03 pack will not be from 21st century breakdown. Needs more Dookie.

I'm with you on that, Dookie is a great album.

At least until they put American Eulogy on, then I'd be fine with other albums. But if the other albums come next, that would be great.

I'm with you! If they'd put out some stuff from Kerplunk, Dookie, or Insomniac I'd be all over it.

Horrible, horrible, horrible band

I concur

As do I, but I sense some grievance

Horrible band now, yes. Back in Dookie / Insomniac days, great band. Translates well to Rock Band I imagine too. Much better than Simon and Garfunkel will.

No, it was always a horrible band. Although not quite as horrible as Offspring.

It's cool to hate things lots of people like.

Have you heard Green Day's all of their singles? The guy can not change his voice worth crap, hes like the Ben Stein when he sings. Its play rotation is exactly like You're Beautful by James Blunt and anyone who remembers when that song was popular wanted to destroy whatever was playing it.

I think I'm the only one here who would like to hear a Ben Stein acapella.

My point by the way is that if we didn't have Greenday, you wouldn't get lame little kids making video's about it either.

"It's cool to hate things lots of people like."

You are implying that we only dislike this band because it's popular. That's bullshit, at least as far as I'm concerned. I dislike Green Day because they are amateurish musicians who could never make quality music if their lives depended on it.

"The guy can not change his voice worth crap"

What did you expect from a punk rock band (well..former punk band)? You're not going to get complex guitar playing, or rob halford type vocals from a punk band.

@Lunastra

You're right, I'm sure not everyone who hates them do because of their popularity. Green Day makes stadium style Top 40's operatic pop-punk and they do it better than anyone else. I don't actively listen to them, but they write decent music. They don't quite deserve the title of 'horrible.' Just like Weezer's most recent output. Nothing special, but heads and shoulders above what other similar bands are doing. I can be quite the music snob myself, but I don't deny well written pop songs.

Saying they're better than any other band of their type is saying much. That whole genre needs to die, and shouldn't have even been created. Lazy music is not music.

i dislike green day because they have become this corporate suit controlled music. Its like they are following the same shitty structure they built for My Chemical Romance, both which were my favorite bands at one point.

They're what.. on their 11th album now?

Gotta give them credit for knowing how to change their sound and stay relevant. Even if they do cater more to the tween, teen crowd more than ever, they still can make some nice surprises. But if you don't like Time of your Life or September Ends, you are probably an ASSHOLE who is just a hater. Eyeliner aside, be thankful it isn't NICKLEBACK.

Green day's first album was good and the next few were ok. They were never more than an average poppy punk band. They've always relied on being catchy the only thing that changed is now they appear more mainstream and corporate than before.
Also The Offspring are great! If you're going for great skate punk sound though look no further than NOFX early albums:D

@tmac
Being talented does always make you a good song writer, some of the most complex riffs I've heard have been nothing but boring and a guitarist showing off.

Anyone who wants to argue that Greenday is good, I present to you, exclusively, what genius condensed into song form sounds like.

@Svenhoek86

I don't think anyone here is arguing that Green Day is better than the Beatles. That would just be silly.

Personally I would like to play some of the older Green Day, I actually really enjoy them all the way up to the American Idiot album. The International Superhits collection would be good. I have no desire to pick up these packs from the new album.

Wow that's the first time I ever had one of my comments turn from blue to white. The Green Day Brigade is strong on joystiq.

Pop punk teen fluff. No thanks.

Damn, who's more elitist about music that was only ever okay at best. This is a tough one... NOFX said it best: "It's medio-core..."

Were Nofx talkining about Nofx when they said that?

I agree actually. Its kind of a dick move

ya, if you want the entire album. Personally I just opt for singles, entire album downloads kind of clog up the song selection menu. (We sort by artist). With the exception of Rush. Every Rush album should be made available.

Jesus of Suburbia? No? Goddamnit.

thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiis!!!

we really need an american idiot track pack. i'm thinking:

Fun to play in RB:
-American Idiot
-St. Jimmy
-Holiday

or...

Awesome Songs:
-Boulevard of Broken Dreams
-Wake Me Up When September Ends
-Jesus of Suburbia

They used to be okay back in the day, but not anymore.

Yeah, the day when they weren't making music. That was the day they were ok.

Ohhhhhh! So THAT'S what was burning!

I'll get it to have some Green Day, but I wasn't thrilled with this album.

I wouldn't mind some songs from Warning or earlier.

Well....shit.

It appears that I caused the next three posts to use the versatile word: 'shit'. Or maybe this is just a common adjective for describing this noise?

Shit happens.

"More Shitty Green Day Headed to Rock Band"

Fixed that headline for ya.

Does Shitty Green Day tour with the Shitty Beatles?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_fictional_music_groups#S

i hope we get some better music to compensate for this shit 3-pack
like paramore, linkin park, or limp bizkit

Might as well replace dog shit with horse shit. Still shit.

Pretty sure Spike was joking.

i'm pretty sure i was just calling those bands better than green day
