No need for that.

If you don't care about this, then don't bother replying with the snarky comments.

I don't play Rock Band, but I do enjoy Guitar Hero, and would love if the band was in there.

No. You guys are acting like idiots, assuming that people who enjoy Guitar Hero or Rock Band don't know how to play instruments. Whether or not they can is completely irrelevant. it's a game. Which is why people are complaining. You guys seem to just be looking for a reason to belittle anyone.

guitar hero is still retarded.

I'm not trying to scare you. I'm asking you not to be a jackass to other members because it makes you feel good. No disrespect intended.

wanting green day or the beatles to be on guitar hero or rock band is a pretty jackass move, i'd say.

because the motherfucking beatles dont belong in a motherfucking video game.

That doesn't really explain why it would "butcher" it.

I think it's fucking wonderful. Aerosmith and Metallica both have their versions of Guitar Hero. The Beatles undoubtedly had a humongous impact on music and made some amazing songs, but saying they are above being in a video game is ridiculous.

It's promotion. It's introducing a new generation, which may not be as familiar with the classic artists, to the best of their parents' times. I applaud them for trying to keep the Beatles legacy going.

They won't be butchered in any way. If you play it's usually in the privacy of your own home. The song plays as usual, it just engages fans with the music. Is that so wrong? I don't personally play either game, but I know how it works. It's not like the song gets destroyed.

And if the kids like the songs they might go out and buy the music and become fans. Dear God, the Beatles don't need any more fans.

But they belong in those shitty movies?

If the Beatles were in a game, I wouldn't buy it....well because they're overrated tosh.

I'd just like to take this opportunity to kiss your arse. I've noticed you post a few times, you've a good outlook on things. :thumbsup:

Meh. Who cares. I didn't expect it to happen anyway even though that would be pretty cool.

it's not like ONLY GREEN DAY WILL NEVER BE ON ROCK BAND EVER. it's TONS of bands.

also i know that green day is almost impossible to license (aka: use their music in video games, movies, tv, etc) so i wasn't ever expecting them to be on those games anyway.

They were in Madden 2005 or 2004. And most recently in Surf's Up.

I think the thread starter just used Green Day to make the story relevant.

guitar hero > rock band.

Agreed

Warner Bands most likely boycotted

My post as I see it wasn't totally clear, I apploigize. But above is the bands boycotted as of now by Rock Band publisher MTV Games.

People who feel they have to give their 2 cents on the person instead of the topic to make them feel more secure in themselves crack me up. But for some background, yeah I am 27 years old and I have been a video game player way before Green Day existed(1986) so it's a hobby I enjoy, with a wife and kid it isn't as much as I used to but when they are asleep I indulge a little bit. I am not a musician I have no musical talent( I tried) so why would I waste a thousand bucks on a guitar better left to someone who can play it?

Back on topic: These music games introduce people to many other bands that they would never of heard of. I have bought probably 10 CD's from bands on Guitar Hero or Rock Band who I looked into after 'playing' their song. Warner and many other labels are getting scared of losing money they are asking more. Hell i used to buy at least 3-4 CD's a month a few years back but now a days it's cheaper to buy them off iTunes or elsewhere . Yes I illegally DLed a song or two but it's just to make sure I want that album or to hear a leaked demo of a highly anticipated album of May of 09.

So what is bad of maybe hoping to 'play' a song from your favorite band on a game you play?

Like someone posted earlier it's easier to 'play' a song with a song you can get into.

Guitar Hero=Rock Band, I like both of them each one has strong and weak parts.

i dont really care a far as the game goes, i just dont like Warner :)

they should switch over to Adeline records. no freaking harsh contracts since he co-owns the place,

and they dont have the have a group of sweaty white men dictating what they can and can't do.

the boys have a lot of freedom, for now, but behind the scenes i feel that they have more restrictions and obligations than we can see.

Green Day are hardly Zeppelin, a trained chimp could master their songs on Rock Band in about 25 minutes. They don't need to be on it.

As for Warner, they're just idiots failing to see great marketing potential.

Guitar Hero/Rockband is a bit meh anyway...

I played it too much when I first got it. Now the fun's worn off. I still play the drums occaisonally.

I hate Warner. I wish Green Day would leave them so they'd no longer be associated with such a shitty organisation.

Well, as far as the boys being on Adeline, distribution and marketing are really really expensive
