Green Day: Rock Band Is Coming was a top story for this week. Here it is again: Green Day, along with Harmonix (along with a laundry list of other corporations) today announced that Green Day: Rock Band, the full standalone music video game experience that celebrates Green Day's historic career and genre-defining albums will launch worldwide June 8, 2010, for the Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, PlayStation3 computer entertainment system and the Wii system from Nintendo. Green Day: Rock Band allows players to step onto the stage and into the shoes of Green Day, the multi-platinum, Grammy Award-winning band that jump-started the punk-pop revival and has continued to pave the way for American rock music into the 21st century. Taking on the likenesses of Green Day members Billie Joe Armstrong, Mike Dirnt and Tré Cool, players progress through the story and history of Green Day, gaining access into the band's media vault, where they can unlock more than 100 collectible images, and more than 40 minutes of rare and unreleased video from interviews, outtakes and performances.
Featuring the three-part vocal harmony technology Harmonix introduced with the award-winning The Beatles: Rock Band, Green Day: Rock Band gives players access to an incredible setlist of 47 tracks that span the band's career including "Brain Stew," "Jaded," "Hitchin' a Ride," "American Idiot," "Wake Me Up When September Ends" and "Boulevard of Broken Dreams." All 47 tracks are fully exportable, providing players with the opportunity to play the songs in Rock Band, Rock Band 2 and the recently announced Rock Band3!
