Green Day Rock Band

So I am a bit obsessed/in love/addicted to the band Green Day. Right now I just wanted to talk a little bit about Green Day Rock Band. If you did not know this is a game that you play like a video game but you have basically a toy guitar and a toy drum set and a microphone. You use the guitar by strumming so it matches some colors..yeah. and that goes with the drums too. With the singing you just sing into the microphone with you see the words and how the note is.

It is really difficult to make the guitar match up (calibrate) on this Rock Band or maybe it is my TV. I dunno! but it is annoying so I like to just sing and drum mostly. Sometimes it is fun to play the guitar while singing, if you know the song.

This Rock Band has Green Day playing in three different venues to represent their different stages in their career. They have The Warehouse for the early years when they would play at people's parties and the Gilman. Then there is Milton Keynes in England where they shot Bullet in a Bible, a DVD for American Idiot.
The last one is just 21st Century Breakdown in Fox Theater in Oakland, and of course I was at this show! but anyways I am sad because it includes all of Dookie, All of American idiot, some of nimrod and warning, and insomniac but it is missing 6 of the songs on 21st Century Breakdown because you need to get them from regular Rock band i suppose.

It also would have been nice to have all of Kerplunk and all of Warning, which is my favorite album by them. Also shenanigans and their first cd 1039 smoothed out slappy hour. Green Day in an interview said that the tapes for the older songs are very fragile, but they might add them later or something.

But this game is really fun and the drumming is intense, at leas to me! They also have challenges to complete at each venue and you can unlock images and short videos of Green Day in concert or in interviews. It is very entertaining and can take up many hours! It is fun to play with your friends so if you like that sort of thing, then you should go get it!
