GameSpot had a nice long chat with Green Day project lead Chris Foster the other day, and peppered the interview with loads of new gameplay footage. In terms of new gameplay details, there’s not a whole lot that wasn’t covered in my interview with Foster or the preview we got at PAX, but one new point caught my attention:

“We have a full drum trainer; we have our sort of core drum lessons that we developed for Beatles, and those are kind of genre-agnostic. And then we have Tré’s Greatest Hits, a collection of some of his best drumming, including one ferocious solo that was so huge we had to split it into two parts, and each of those is still very intense.”

Neat. I’m looking forward to that.

Like I said, there’s lots of footage in the interview, although most of it is without any of the note tracks. And the one bit of actual hands-on gameplay included in the interview is “East Jesus Nowhere”…which is already available as DLC. And it’s just guitar and bass, so you don’t get to see the harmonies. (Though I suppose this is the first time you’ve seen it played by Green Day.)

Still, it’s a hefty, info-packed interview that’s well worth watching if you’re dying to see more of the game in action. So I’ve gone ahead and embedded it after the break. For you! And if you’d like to take another look at some of the gameplay footage, GameSpot helpfully provided it in the Related Videos section, so hit the Read link if you’d like to see more.
