    Interesting, at least.

    I guess I'm a "fan" of Green Day and while they may not have the gravitas of The Beatles, I think it'll still perform well in sales.

    They could have just a released a DLC pack for Rock Band 2. This will sell a lot though.

    Notice that vdeo is for a video dating back to July 8th, 2009, which is actually about the first DLC pack (the one with Know Your Enemy, 27 Guns, and East Jesus Nowhere).
     
    The one dated today on the MTV site is different, though. As DanielJW said, it does say "Green Day: Rock Band" at the end. This could be a video of a game that's more or less an expansion for RB2 (with full exportability), but it doesn't really look like it at this point. We'll know more after the VGAs.

    Im a huge fan of Green Day and I can honestly say that this is a suprise, I know there was talk about this earlier but I never thought that they wouldnt do it 
     
    I mean, I even really like their new album which everyone else seems to hate
     
    However it is a nice suprise, a Green Day: Rock Band could be great and, if well done, I would buy

    Unlike Beatles I could really see them letting you roll this music into rock band 2, if that's the case its a must buy for sure, if not it's in the maybe pile.

    Yeah, that's where my interest lies at the moment. If it has full exportability ala Lego Rock Band, I think this will be an instant buy for many-a-fan. Of course, it won't be for everyone that keeps up with Rock Band, but I think 40-45 Green Day songs would not only give us every last bit of Green Day we'd ever need, we'd instantly up the 'anthem' column for anyone having a party around Rock Band.

    Green Day, how you used to be awesome. Then Warning came out, and you haven't made a good album since. Still one of the most famous bands from here in the East Bay. This still could be just more expensive DLC.

    If it's a full game, then it is a very stupid and horrible idea. Green Day are not in the league of musicians by a big margin to deserve their own game.

    I've massive Green Day fan, but I think this will be a bit repetitive for the guitar player?!
     
    I suppose the fun comes from playing songs that you love, so fair play.
     
    If 'Going to Pasalaqua' is on there, then its sold!

    I'm a big Green Day fan. Saw them in concert in September. Amazing show in New Orleans. But will I be buying this? Hell no. Absolutely no interest, although I had no interest in The Beatles either.

    If I'm the collective group of people with vested interest in the Beatles franchise, I'd be pissed, or worse yet, seriously considering litigation.
     
    Course, I am not among those varied individuals, much less among the legally savvy, so it's merely wishful thinking on my part that the Beatles people whom Harmonix had to beg and plead to sign off on TB:RB hit these Activision-rejects where it hurts (i.e. the wallet) for daring to suggest that any other group, much less these hacks, may grace store shelves with its OWN similarly-colonized RB title.
     
    Also, to play devil's advocate...will there be people hovering over Harmonix' dudes picking similar nits as the wind in Lennon's hair?  Suppose they feel that these idiots aren't wearing enough black eyeliner?

    Oh, stuff it.  If you don't want it, don't buy it.  I have little interest in a Green Day-themed Rock Band game myself, but I'm not going to be a jackass about it.

    The key difference in attitudes is that Harmonix has shown a willingness to care about how the artists that appear in game are treated.  Activision couldn't give a rat's ass and is perfectly happy making Kurt Cobain and Johnny Cash look like idiots.

    There's been Rock Band, Rock Band 2, Beatles Rock Band and now Green Day Rock Band.
     
    There's been Guitar Hero, Guitar Hero 2, Guitar Hero 3, Guitar Hero 4, Guitar Hero 5, Guitar Hero Aerosmith, Guitar Hero Metallica, Guitar Hero Van Halen, Guitar Hero Rocks the 80's, Guitar Hero Smash Hits, DJ Hero, and Band Hero. 
     
    Compare and contrast.
