LouLou Posted December 9, 2010 Posted December 9, 2010 Awesome! Sadly I'll have to miss the awards and the behind the music for work
EvanAsFuck Posted December 9, 2010 Posted December 9, 2010 Haha that's pretty cool! Kind of an odd award... Cause they pretty much had a list of like 40 or so GD songs they coulda picked? Good choice through! Is this awards show done by at-home voting?
sampy Posted December 9, 2010 Posted December 9, 2010 This is cool! Hopefully they're gonna win. And like Hermione said, Basket Case is really fun to play in this game.
Ilda_25 Posted December 9, 2010 Posted December 9, 2010 I really hope they win it. And I think they can..
Blood Sam and Booze Posted December 9, 2010 Posted December 9, 2010 Random song choice, but nonetheless, a great recognition
GDJonny Posted December 9, 2010 Posted December 9, 2010 Cool. Always nice to see Basket Case nominated for an award, should win.
Kayfabe Posted December 9, 2010 Posted December 9, 2010 Why is Basket Case the best one? I hope it wins anyhow.
euphoric-pareidolias Posted December 9, 2010 Posted December 9, 2010 weird award but im glad theyve been nominated!! i think Eminem is probably the biggest competition
Sanity Loan Posted December 9, 2010 Author Posted December 9, 2010 weird award but im glad theyve been nominated!! i think Eminem is probably the biggest competition I'd say its Jose Gonzales for his soundtrack to Red Dead Redemption. He's got some AWESOME music in that game...
E!!i Posted December 9, 2010 Posted December 9, 2010 Cool! Basket Case is fun to play on there I'm so damn looking forward to get this game on Christmas and playing this song! And I hope they'll win this, no I fuckin' know they'll win this!
clairex Posted December 9, 2010 Posted December 9, 2010 What a strange award for Green Day to be up for. I don't really get this whole Rock Band game though!
Daughter.of.Rage.and.Love Posted December 9, 2010 Posted December 9, 2010 Cool. It's fun to play on Rock Band Is there any way to vote or is it an award a jury decides about?
sampy Posted December 9, 2010 Posted December 9, 2010 Well I don't find that weird at all that they chose this song for the nomination. It's a great, classic and very popular song, everybody knows Basket Case. And now it made its way into the video game scene so I think it's great that Basket Case got this nomination. Of course they could choose song like BOBD or 21 Guns, but imo Basket Case deserved it!
heyohbilliejoe Posted December 9, 2010 Posted December 9, 2010 well of course basket case is the best one... whether people are smart enough to notice that is a different matter though, i guess
gdpony Posted December 9, 2010 Posted December 9, 2010 awesome! I think they have a high chance of winning this
-Billiejoezee- Posted December 9, 2010 Posted December 9, 2010 Damn I'm missing this. Oh well. I hope they win!!
Pres Posted December 9, 2010 Posted December 9, 2010 Oh i want to watch this but i'm not going to be home at the right time oh well i hope they win i love that song
Whatsername1911 Posted December 10, 2010 Posted December 10, 2010 When I read VGAs I thought of vaginas. Anyways, Basket Case can definitely win.
Lauren Posted December 10, 2010 Posted December 10, 2010 wow something from 15+ years ago is nominated NOW?!
