    GREEN DAY IMMORTALIZED IN 'ROCK BAND' EDITION
    June 01, 2010

    NEW YORK — With a hit Broadway show and now their own edition of the "Rock Band" franchise, Green Day is establishing themselves as a punk rock brand.

    "I just like being diverse and trying new things as far as Green Day is concerned," says front man Billie Joe Armstrong.

    The Grammy-winning, multiplatinum trio joins the Beatles as the only other act immortalized in "Rock Band"; the video game is being released next Tuesday.

    "It's like a glorified karaoke machine," Armstrong said. "Or 'Mortal Kombat' with guitars."

    As players progress through the game, they gain access into the band's media vault, where they can unlock rare collectible images, and over 40 minutes of unreleased video. These include performances, outtakes, interviews, and even a tour of their transportation.

    "You see old footage of us from the Bookmobile, and weird old performances and stuff no one's looked at in almost twenty years," Armstrong said.

    Bits from those old performances help recreate the kinetic energy of the band playing live. Developers went through many hours of footage to get it right, and even used stand-in performers to fine-tune the computer-generated version on the punk rock trio.

    "As far as video games are concerned it's pretty close," Armstrong said.

    MTV
    June 01, 2010

     

    We're just one week away from the release of "Green Day: Rock Band," as one of the biggest acts in the world conquers an all-new medium: video games. It features 47 of the Berkeley boys' greatest tracks, including all of Dookie, American Idiot and 21st Century Breakdown.

    Recently, Buzzworthy had a chance to talk with Green Day about the game, the group's all-time best MTV memories and some of the more painful events that have gone down while they were out on tour. We also asked them about the songs that aren't included in "Green Day: Rock Band." Of the songs that didn't make the cut, only two are Green Day songs. One is "Stop Drop and Roll" by their recent side project The Foxboro Hot Tubs, and the other, as Mike Dirnt notes, is a Who cover. The last song that Billie Joe offers up is "Hungry Hungry Models" by The Network -– a band long rumored to be Green Day in disguise, though Green Day's never confirmed its involvement in the group. Interesting … very interesting.
