I mean, ok, I get that they are popular and all, but I would think that the Special Editions of Guitar Hero and Rock Band would be held for Legendary bands which Green Day is not. The Beatles, Metallica, Van Halen, Aerosmith and such are Legendary and Green Day does not come close to comparison. So why Green Day? That's my question.

The good news is, it feels more like a glorified track pack. Now, I'll be waiting for Queen Rock Band to come out after Rock Band 3.

I like Green Day. I think they deserve their own Rock Band. Legendary in your eyes doesn't translate to legendary in everyone's eyes. For instance, i don't like the Beatles at all, i think their music is awful. Oh no, watch out, everyone: i have an opinion. Also, look at Green Day sales worldwide - you said it yourself, they're popular. Why NOT make a game for them?

I don't think it's a question of what band deserves their own game, it's more of a matter of which band games will make money and which bands are allowing games to be made. It's also a harrowing process, from what the Green Day bassist said in his interview - a lot of their earlier songs are on analog devices, so converting them to digital was no easy task. And a lot of bands that you'd LIKE to see have games probably have little time to dedicate to it. I'd like a Muse game, too, but my god, they seem to tour a LOT.

x2 After seeing them in concert they are really one of the last great arena stageshow rockers. I was floored by how good their live sets were on the Somewhere Back In Time tour.

They should have made a Blink 182 rock band. Guaranteed more people would buy a Blink 182 rock band than Green Day crap.

I would argue that outside of The Beatles and perhaps Van Halen, Green Day is a better band than any of those mentioned. American Idiot is one of the best albums of the last decade so I really don't see your point here.

Green Day better than Aerosmith? I can see Metallica selling out, but Aerosmith? The only bands that come close these days are so unpopular that it's criminal. You'll never hear anything on the radio like those bands.
