LEGO® Rock Band® - Rumors and Facts

[ThatAuthoringGroup]

Has any clarification been made about the fee to import the songs into RB yet?

If so is there a reasoning behind it?

I understand the RB1 fee because it wasn't licensed for the RB platform, but I thought that was taken care of with anything from there on out so it wouldn't happen again.

Any one have any news on this front?

Since it hasn't been confirmed by HMX that there will be exportation, nothing has been said on how such a process might work in L:RB.

[will_c_75]

i cant link it like i said but here is the addy
www.gamerevolution.com/preview/xbox360/lego-rock-band

[MisterSchulz]

HELL YES!! I was worried when they shut down your other thread for no link.

My most wanted Hendrix song, and um... finally Hendrix in RB!

Kind of funny they choose to introduce him to RB through Lego RB, i'll take it

[Flawless]

Well there you go!

I'm willing to bet on a Jimi mini-fig.


Also: Confirmed EXPORT.

[Abaddon]

The setlist does have corny pop songs like "Ghostbusters" by Ray Parker Jr, "So What" by Pink, "Kung Fu Fighting" by Carl Douglas, "In Too Deep" by Sum 41, and "Aliens Exist" by Blink 182, but it also chooses energetic and catchy tunes that have wider appeal like "Ruby" by Kaiser Chiefs, "Let's Dance" by David Bowie, "Walking on Sunshine" by Katrina and The Waves, and "Fire" by Jimi Hendrix.Hmmmm..... :cool:

[Sayburr]

Well, what do you know.... I apologize to you.

I will go add this information to the Rumors and Facts thread now.

[Mex]

That article states that RB DLC is playable in LEGO RB and that you can export LEGO RB to RB2.

Pretty cool.

[Oscar-Rio]

Also: Confirmed EXPORT.

Cool beans, now let's hope we can delete individual tracks like with RB1.

[whofan]

Now this is how you prove your point.

Nice find!

[Abaddon]

How did I miss this?
As you might expect, a healthy portion of the 45-song setlist are guilty pleasures

[LegendofRock3021]

Nice find, Fire is one of my favorite Hendrix songs.

[Explosion2]

AAAAARRRRRRGH I now need this game.
*adds to christmas list*

[Thom1234]

Seems a somewhat suggestive song for Lego Rock Band... hope it's true though. Jimi Minifig would be cool as well.

[monkeyfish]

So I can't have my Lego sing about going to a gay bar? :(

[MisterSchulz]

It's weird that you can export Lego RB, including Hendrix i'm assuming, but you can't export Hendrix in the GH series....

Hope this means exclusivity of Hendrix for HMX and a huge Hendrix 12-pack or full album DLC

[Lady Siara]

Simultaneous jump for joy, folks.

3...2...1...

[Abaddon]

There's more info in this one little article then we have had in months on the game. I am a bit surprised, actually. I wonder if this article was published prematurely...

[whofan]

I'm sure we'll see more info from official sources before too long, the game is out in about a month now.

[naeandpete]

Already got the game preordered but it's good to have new info on it. Thanks for the link.

[Explosion2]

simultaneous jump for joy, folks.

3...2...1...

yeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Sayburr]

Added the following, thanks to will_c_75 for bringing this to our attentioin.

Players who miss one too many notes won't fail out but instead lose all the studs (or points), the in-game currency, that they have earned in the song so far. But to be gentle, they can recover up to all of their lost studs if they hit the notes in the recovery phrases that follow. In addition to Super Easy mode where players only have to strum the notes at the right time (you can hold down any button), the option to automate the kick pedal for the drums has been added not just for kids with short legs, but for those with leg disabilities.

There's even a toggle for the short "radio edit" version of a track so that your hyperactive fourth-grader doesn't get bored by the sixth chorus of some song by The Police. - GameRevolution ( http://www.gamerevolution.com/preview/xbox360/lego-rock-band)

Jimi Hendrix – Fire
-----GameRevolution ( http://www.gamerevolution.com/preview/xbox360/lego-rock-band)

Any downloadable track for Rock Band that passes through a content filter can be imported into Lego Rock Band

[whofan]

With this new information, we now know 26/45 Tracks (or 25 if "We Will Rock You" and "We Are The Champions" are combined into 1 track) (Or 27 if you believe the "We Built This City" rumour that was from E3, which I do, knowing HMX's sense of humour)

Now we just need to know what the other bloody 18/19/20 are!!!

[harveyglobetrot]

Holy crap! :eek::D

I apologise for being snarky in the previous thread. This is wonderful news indeed!

[dsierra87]

wow! Jimi Hendrix!!!

[aggiesrul8]

Interesting find here.

Even with the earlier shenanigans.... ;)

[Abaddon]

Sayburr, they also confirm that export will be an option "for a small fee".

[EDIT] Which is really interesting, as it sounds like RB1 export. That would open the door to renting and exporting unless it is a one-time key tied to the disc. (I would not endorse such an action, mind you).

[ZosoBaron]

Hendrix?

Hendrix!

HEEEEEEEEEEENDRIIIIIIIIIIX!!!

[jayou521]

Fire should be sweet on drums~

[echo4papa]

You think that export will be a one time per disc like the AC/DC pack, or more like the RB1 import?

I have no interest in LegoRB, but I would like to get the songs in the cheapest legal way I can get them.

[sonicnerd23]

Wow. It seems anti-climactic that Hendrix would make his RB debut like this, but ah well.

[ZosoBaron]

The setlist does have corny pop songs like "Ghostbusters" by Ray Parker Jr, "So What" by Pink, "Kung Fu Fighting" by Carl Douglas, "In Too Deep" by Sum 41, and "Aliens Exist" by Blink 182, but it also chooses energetic and catchy tunes that have wider appeal like "Ruby" by Kaiser Chiefs, "Let's Dance" by David Bowie, "Walking on Sunshine" by Katrina and The Waves, and "Fire" by Jimi Hendrix.

Funny, I thought Walking On Sunshine WAS a corny pop song. :rolleyes:

Fortunately, Hendrix makes up for it. :cool:

[Sayburr]

Now that it is confirmed by a second source... going to go pre-order now. Can't wait to play this game!

[jayou521]

Glad to see Jimi coming to the game, but I'm just as happy to see Walking On Sunshine~

~another 80's song I've wanted for a while now.


There's even a toggle for the short "radio edit" version of a track so that your hyperactive fourth-grader doesn't get bored by the sixth chorus of some song by The Police.

Interesting... I won't use it though~

[geo2n2]

A little disappointed at only 45 tracks considering Band Hero's rumored much bigger list.

[harveyglobetrot]

Hendrix has come right out of left field! :D I can only hope this leads to more of the Experience coming to RB in the future.

I wonder if he will have a mini-fig? I could be mistaken, but I was under the impression that the Hendrix estate only allowed his songs into GH on the proviso that a likeness of Jimi was playing on his songs?

It's also great to see exportability mentioned by another source and compatibility with some DLC. Great news all round!

[whofan]

A little disappointed at only 45 tracks considering Band Hero's rumored much bigger list.
Quality>Quantity

Most of the songs revealed so far are classics that have withstood the test of time, whereas most of Band Hero's list is from flash-in-the-pan sensations that will disappear sooner rather than later.

[Jdurgit]

I just came............ to the realization that in my pants there is a mess. :p :D

[ZosoBaron]

Also, I noticed in the article that there is a challenge which involves a giant, angry mollusk. Start speculating.

[Explosion2]

Nobody said that this would be Jimi's RB debut...
(future DLC possibly?)

[dady5000]

Great now I'll be able to teach my dog to play walking on sunshine it with me.

[thrillhouse987]

Hendrix!!!

And to boot, they picked my favourite song by him as well.... awesome news.

[LegendofRock3021]

Excellent news about "Fire" and exportability. :)

[White_PawZ]

no Rush?! Oh well, still a great setlist so far....

More than enough good songs to warrant a purchase and export!

[DookieMan]

Walking on Sunshine? That will be extremely corny but awesome at the same time. Also, I'm really surprised they were able to get Jimi Hendrix songs. That seemed to happen sooner than expected.

I have to agree with the Whoster. I know I'm not really the target market for either game, but the L:RB laps the BH setlist. There's maybe a half-dozen or so songs I would want from BH off a full setlist, while there are about half-a-dozen songs I wouldn't get from L:RB, on about half the setlist.


Also, I noticed in the article that there is a challenge which involves a giant, angry mollusk. Start speculating.

Rock Lobster.

[sonicnerd23]

Monster by The Automatic is my guess.

[DookieMan]

If they put Rock Lobster in that would be epic.

For some reason, I'm feeling the Doors here, I really am.

[ZosoBaron]

Rock Lobster.

I said mollusk, not crustacean.

What, you honestly think that they're going to put a kid-friendly B-52's song in a Lego music game? :p

[CrazyIvan]

Yup... couldn't agree more. 90% of the BH setlist made me roll my eyes. 90% of the revealed setlist for Lego has made me give a big ol' cheer. Pretty darn clear-cut which one I'll be getting.

[White_PawZ]

could "7 Nation Army" be the scene with the Lego army attacking a castle?

[whalercanes]

Woot... I was buying this anyway, but the fact that you can export and that existing DLC (content acceptable) is like 10 cherries on top. Can. Not. Wait.

[Booker]

I wonder how they will check whether your DLC is acceptable or not for LRB?

[kingtonyx]

LEGO's doing a good job so far on songs that Mom and Dad can teach Little Johnny and Jill BUT right now if you were to show a kid both setlists they're going to choose Band Hero.

I will personally enjoy both, but right now I have to say BH has the edge with the young ones.

[Mr. Tate]

Walking on Sunshine was 1 of the 2 songs I was a bit annoyed that Band Hero got. This is getting better by the day. :D

[Luur32]

Whoah. LRB is gonna have Jimi Hendrix? Must buy!

[Kidmitt]

Well, congrats to T-Hybrid for speculating the filter idea. Looks like we got the best of both worlds!

[kiggidykev]

Holy heck, the Hendrix thing was legit? That blows my mind

[A New Pyro Fool]

There may only be 45 songs, but I have a yearning to play most of the songs on the setlist so far.

Add an export option and allow your other DLC (well, most of it) to be played in game? Win. Insta-buy.

[sonicnerd23]

Looks like we got the best of both worlds!

Unless you're talking about the Van Halen song, I really, REALLY hope that's not true. :(

teehee

[Kidmitt]

Unless you're talking about the Van Halen song, I really, REALLY hope that's not true. :(

Um, I'm talking about exporting LRB to RB2 and playing DLC in LRB.

I wouldn't be surprised. Seeing that isn't in the future White Stripes pack, this is very possible.

Man Rock Band is really dishing out Guitar legends with Satriani, Hendrix, and Dimebag confirmed. I think Rock Band has a better collection of elite guitarists than Guitar Hero, ironic no?

[foolosophy]

Holy ****! Jimi Hendrix! What a weird place to make a debut in the RB Series... Oh well, I ain't complaining. This game just hit "Must Purchase" status, even if the rest of the songs are by the Jonas Brothers.

[MisterSchulz]

Anyone think it's strange that they'd choose to introduce Hendrix to the RB series after all this time through Lego RB? As opposed to a huge DLC pack or Full Album DLC?

Perhaps they removed the page because they want to announce Hendrix in a bigger, more worthy fashion. *Praying for Hendrix 12-pack following Queen 10-Pack :)

[zeoavenger]

Sucks the link got taken down.

Preordered this from Toys R Us for $35 a few days ago. Good to hear all the new features. Auto-kick will make drums much less intimidating at parties.

I wish there was a parental controls feature that would allow you to control the censorship of DLC songs from the playlist and RB2 could export to LRB. RB2 is stale as hell.

[geo2n2]

Anyone think it's strange that they'd choose to introduce Hendrix to the RB series after all this time through Lego RB? As opposed to a huge DLC pack or Full Album DLC?


Actually, no. Apparently the stipulation for GH getting his songs was that only a Jimi avatar could play his songs. Lego makes this possible. for that reason it also wouldn't surprise me if this song dosn't export to RB2.

[Alvarado6411]

I woke up, what new info did the "hendrix" page say?

[MisterSchulz]

Wow, really? I didn't know that. Explains why they don't transfer to GH5 then huh. That blows, but if true really makes sense.

BTW 3 awesome songs in your signature Your Love and 38 special

[geo2n2]

Never been officially confirmed, but it does explain those things. Same sorta deal with Tool, I think.

Thanks!

[LuigiHann]

I woke up, what new info did the "hendrix" page say?

Just that his song "Fire" would be in the game (as far as Hendrix-related stuff goes)

[Sayburr]

Made a note on the first page that the information found today is strictly a rumor because the source has been removed. If you believe any of it, do so at your own risk!

[newmanator]

What are your thoughts on if this is bogus or not?
I don't know what to believe...

[Sayburr]

What are your thoughts on if this is bogus or not?
I don't know what to believe...Its a very strong rumor... but until HMX confirms any of it, its not true. We have seen before things pop up saying things will be in the game only to find out later than it is not true. Thus, rumors are not true until HMX confirms them.

[Sayburr]

OK, added the following:

LEGO Rock Band Achievements (http://www.rockband.com/forums/showthread.php?t=168202)

[jojuinc]

I wonder if there is a Lego Brian May in the game, seeing as how there is an achievement called "Brian MAY Get Jealous"?

[cherokeesam]

T-Hybrid is gonna be walking on sunshine....

LRB *IS* AC/DC! ....No, I'm not talking about the band -- I just mean the game swings both ways. Export or import, your choice. (Although I'm sure the filter they talked about will prevent the "T"-rated songs from trekking over to LEGO.)

And great news about Hendrix and Katrina.

And great news about the Achievements.

And the other stuff.

And yes, I believe the rumor....that's a pretty reputable site, not some fanboy blog. HMX/LEGO probably told them to take it down.

And for those speculating on the other 18-20 songs left to reveal: I'd say a 90% chance that at least one of them will be from Limp Bizkit, considering our very first info about this game came from Fred Durst's own personal tweeter (that's an unpleasant image, if you think about it)

[General Lein979]

You know what I bet if Hendrix is on the game it won't be exportable tell rb3 because Hendrix has to be played by a Hendrix avatar and lego has celebrity avatars. I'm betting on the non exportable of Hendrix if it's true unless the sneaky bastards hid a Hendrix avatar that is only playable on Hendrix songs in the game with the latest patch what isn't out of the question. I just doubt it.

I wonder if there is a Lego Brian May in the game, seeing as how there is an achievement called "Brian MAY Get Jealous"?I would place money on him. He seems to be ok with rock band seeing how he's interested in rbn.

It's hard to compare LEGO minifigs to "realistic" avatars from RB and GH. Whatever the Hendrix estate's view on exporting "Fire" into RB2, I doubt a minifig will have any impact on the decision.

Um....yeah...RBN and that 10-pack he's dropping in the Music Store next week....:confused:

[jojuinc]

"Solid Gold, Easy Action" I wonder if the song of the same name by T.Rex will be in?

[Sayburr]

"Solid Gold, Easy Action" I wonder if the song of the same name by T.Rex will be in?I doubt any band will have more than one song on the disc... not been HMX's style so far.

[A New Pyro Fool]

I doubt any band will have more than one song on the disc... not been HMX's style so far.
Queen?

[CommonCriminal]

Queen?

That's different. Those two songs go together and most likely will be like Sgt.Pepper/With a Little Help from my Friends

[jojuinc]

I doubt any band will have more than one song on the disc... not been HMX's style so far.

Then I assume the two Queen songs will be the We Will Rock You/We Are the Champions medley.

[Sayburr]

Queen?But, those songs run into each other, I bet it will play as a single song... But, yeah, I guess I screwed the pooch on that one, huh?

[DanteSparda504]

That's different. Those two songs go together and most likely will be like Sgt.Pepper/With a Little Help from my Friends

Exactly. Queen is really just getting one song on the disc since the two songs go together so perfectly and are played together. Just like Sgt Pepper.

[cherokeesam]

"Solid Gold, Easy Action" has also been successfully covered by The Fratellis. The achievement title could be referring to their version....

[Super Bass]

WALKING ON SUNSHINE?

"FIRE'" BY HENDRIX?! :eek:

When did those get announced? I had pretty much planned on getting the game the first week of it's release. Now it looks like I'm going to be waiting outside of a store on release day to pick it up.

*COUGH* I think I'm gonna see a bug in my throat on that Tuesday. *COUGH* "No sorry, I can't come to work." lol! Nah...I need my paycheck.

This game is DEFINATELY going to be a nice title for families to play over the Holidays this year. :)

[Alvarado6411]

Definitely coming out to be a great stand alone title by itself! Such great classic song and non of that commercial pop Disney stuff, I'm going to be very happy with my purchase.

Now if only Rush was involved.........

[CyanFunk]

I'm calling BS on the 'Fire' rumor

[BruceDickinson]

I'm calling BS on the 'Fire' rumor

Why?

Because he didn't read the article, I'm guessing.

[Alvarado6411]

Hey is that true about the Hendrix estate only wanting Jimi to sing his songs instead of another avatar?

If so the Jimi hendrix lego model does seem plausible and also explains why the Jimi songs arent in GH5

[SonicRocker15X]

Walking on Sunshine?
Certain DLC songs work with it if they pass a filter?
If both are true I'm not sure I can wait for Christmas for this anymore.

[DamnRockation]

45 songs, that is pathetic.

[SonicRocker15X]

45 songs, that is pathetic.

Um... 45 songs is the basic model for non main games these days.

Hell, remove the bonus songs and I'm pretty sure RB1 had 45 songs.

[Casto21]

45 songs, that is pathetic.

They way I look at it, there are already 20 songs announced I would pay 2 bucks for. That's 40 bucks, so 10 more bucks and i get a sweet game an 25 more tracks.

[SonicRocker15X]

They way I look at it, there are already 20 songs announced I would pay 2 bucks for. That's 40 bucks, so 10 more bucks and i get a sweet game an 25 more tracks.

So basically, you're getting 20 DLC songs you like and the extra ten is from the awesomeness that is a Lego engine.

I never thought of my opinion on it that way until now. Thanks for that. :D

[DookieMan]

Hey is that true about the Hendrix estate only wanting Jimi to sing his songs instead of another avatar?

Honestly, I can't really see them thinking a Lego version of him being much better... Also, that might be bad news. It might mean that that song won't be exportable...

On a brighter note, I'm really glad this game is able to be mainstream without being completely so like Band Hero is doing, which seems to be mainly consisted of crappy modern Disney pop and songs already on RB.

[Kidmitt]

Considering the idea of recovering studs was first brought up in the pulled source, and an achievement now mentions that very thing, I'd reckon everything in the new "rumor" is actually a leak that Harmonix tried to plug up before too many people noticed.

[Skode]

Hendrix... goodness me what a coup that would be but ill wait to see if there is any truth in the rumour before i let excitement get the better of me (an awesome song pick to boot... yet again though these two songs are familiar more to the golden oldie players, for such a youth aimed game can they really be so focused on delivering 60s and 70s hits as well as playable avatars of rockers no youngster will have even heard of :eek:)

That's the point. The Final Countdown and LEGO people sell it for kids.

David Bowie and Jimi Hendrix sell it to the players like us, and like those who dismissed it as kiddy BS.

[Fuelie79]

I'm a little disappointed about the song number, but that is the first negative news that I've heard about this game. The setlist is looking better and better with each couple songs that come out, and the game just seems like it would be really fun. Definite buy for me!

[aspiring]

To me with the article removed, unless its been confirmed elsewhere to be 100% false, than i can bet that some naught boy broke an NDA! Things are rumours all the time and there never removed the whole article. Unless it is in breach of contract ;)

And on that point:


lol, why 42 or 49? To me 45 just seems right for the game that this is and the discounted price. Hope i am wrong and there is more.

And your right Band Hero has a ton of tracks, heaps i want too! I am unsure, i just want info soooo bad.

So if this proves correct, which is probably likely, does aspiring get some sort of online trophy for correct guess :D

Definite buy for me!As long as there a and b (collectively not just personal opinion) and stays at the $50 price window it should be fine. If there set list enlargers like most hmx band songs then there could be a problem. If it keeps up this pace with the quality it will be perfect; especially if Hendrix is in.

If the export is 100% the reviews won't care about the setlist because it is a greater value then buying tracks in the store. 45 for 50 sounds better then 25 for 50 buying stand alone tracks. Also rb1 had 45 non bonus songs for 60 with 7 of those being covers.

Added the following, thanks to will_c_75 for bringing this to our attentioin.

Players who miss one too many notes won't fail out but instead lose all the studs (or points), the in-game currency, that they have earned in the song so far. But to be gentle, they can recover up to all of their lost studs if they hit the notes in the recovery phrases that follow. In addition to Super Easy mode where players only have to strum the notes at the right time (you can hold down any button), the option to automate the kick pedal for the drums has been added not just for kids with short legs, but for those with leg disabilities.

There's even a toggle for the short "radio edit" version of a track so that your hyperactive fourth-grader doesn't get bored by the sixth chorus of some song by The Police. - GameRevolution ( http://www.gamerevolution.com/preview/xbox360/lego-rock-band)

45-song setlist GameRevolution ( http://www.gamerevolution.com/preview/xbox360/lego-rock-band)

Katrina and the Waves – Walking on Sunshine
Jimi Hendrix – Fire
-----GameRevolution ( http://www.gamerevolution.com/preview/xbox360/lego-rock-band)

Any downloadable track for Rock Band that passes through a content filter can be imported into Lego Rock Band

Nice. I approve of this info.

And about the exportability, I don't really care if it does end up being like RB1 and we have to pay a small fee. It's worth it if I can play my songs in RB2 if I want to.

I'm super excited about this game and just get more so every time new info is revealed.

[scorpionspupil]

so what is everyone's guesses at the rest of the set-list then, that leaves 19 tracks to be revealed. (also I'm still a stick in the mud with the ZZTop/AC/DC thing cause I want both :P)

1) Squeezebox -The Who (Can't have an RB game without them)
2) Hush - Deep Purple (rounding out the 3 pack)
3) 7 Screaming Diz-Busters - Blue Oyster Cult (rounding out the 3 pack)
4) Bungle in the Jungle - Jethro Tull (rounding out the 3-pack)
5) Time of the Season - The Zombies (rounding out the 3-pack)
6) Cold as Ice - Foreigner (Foriegner is just too kid-friendly to not have in this)
7) Cheap Sunglasses - ZZTop (Assuming the rumor is true)
8) It's a Long Way to the Top (if You Want to Rock n' Roll) - AC/DC (assuming the rumor is true)
9) Dancing With Myself - Billy Idol (despite the undertones it's very kid friendly)
10) Surrender - Cheap Trick (surprised Trick hasn't returned yet)
11) Feel Like Making Love - Bad Company (see above)
12) Fly By Night - Rush (can't have a proper RB game without Rush)
13) Rock n' Roll Highschool - The Ramones (cracked file)
14) Rock the Casbah - The Clash (come on you know you want it)
15) Strutter - Kiss (rounding out 3 Kiss master tracks)
16) Don't Look Back - Boston (no Boston track was the biggest hole in RB2)
17) Burning Down the House - The Talking Heads (it's surprising absence from the pack)
18) Rock Lobster - The B-52's (we've known about a B-52's song for awhile, perfect place for it)
19) Brown Sugar - The Rollingstones (cracked DLC file)

....somewhere down the line, it became more what I want, than what I actually think could happen, though most of them do have some basis in reality with them being mostly RB1/RB2 bands, that had decent following in RB circles, with alot of marketability to kids.

[ZosoBaron]

11) Feel Like Making Love - Bad Company (see above)

I doubt they'd include a song that has the term "Making Love" in the title.

[scorpionspupil]

Me too, but there's been little rumblings of a Bad Company song coming, and of all the songs, I would not be surprised to see that show up

[jeccaneko]

so what is everyone's guesses at the rest of the set-list then, that leaves 19 tracks to be revealed.

I feel like if we get Boston we'll get Amanda. That's Boston's most famous song out of the ones we don't have yet. And, hey, if We Will Rock You can make it to Lego Rock Band (which doesn't have much going on if you exclude the guitar solo at the end), we can definitely do Amanda even though it's a ballad. Nothing naughty about it either.

You list isn't terrible but... I don't know. I don't feel like some of those are well known enough. It feels like they're trying to pick mainly songs everybody knows. Time of the Season is well known, sure, but a lot of the rest... I feel like it's more of a wish list than reality.

I'm convinced that a few more of those songs are plausible as well, such as the AC/DC, B-52's, and Billy Idol.

You know, that's a great list, and I want every one of those, but you're *very* classic rock-heavy. Some of those might make the cut, but I'm sure the bulk of what's left will be 90s-00s.

And if BOC makes it into the game, I can about guarowntee it would be "Godzilla." ;)

I really REALLY disagree with your Blue Oyster Cult choice.
I think more Godzilla.

Also, I doubt the Rolling Stones and Bad Company will be in, personally.

[Alvarado6411]

For those complaining about the amount of songs, look at it this way....It's quality > quantity.

BH may have more but it's mostly disney pop tween music. I mean cmon look what we got!!

[CCDaDon]

Squeezebox is too sexual to be in a kids game.

Maybe Can't Explain(Live at Leeds)?

[justin19954]

Holy cow! JIMI!!!!!!

[scorpionspupil]

And if BOC makes it into the game, I can about guarowntee it would be "Godzilla." ;) Godzilla, I'm also almost positive will be in too, but it really seems like one of those situations that everyone thinks they'll go left, only for them to go right. So I picked another song, I picked 7SD because A) it's awesome, and B) the title is pretty much non-sense, wich I think will be fun for the youngins to sing.

And yeah, I'm absurdly classic rock heavy. the list is mostly 19 songs I could see happening I far from expect all of them to show up.


Squeezebox is too sexual to be in a kids game.

Maybe Can't Explain(Live at Leeds)?

Like Dancing with Myself, there are sexual undertones in Squeezebox, but they are very subtle, that not many people would pick-up on unless someone told them, or they already knew.

Can't Explain would be good

[General Lein979]

19) Brown Sugar - The Rollingstones (cracked DLC file)
Satisfaction is tamer than brown sugar. I would be BOC is godzilla.

Also you list needs way more modern stuff. EX:
When I come around by greenday is pretty tame. They also are a rb exclusive.
Use Somebody - Kings of leon theoretical #4 with most kid friendly hit missing
Can't Stop- Red Hot Chili peppers
Ocean Avenue- Yellow card Band hero
Beverly hills- weezer hmx might have went back to weezer brought home 4 new songs and we've seen 3 so far with the one left on lego similar to foo fighters
Seven Nation army or fell in love with a girl- White stripes the on disc in theory #4
What I've done Linkin park- pretty tame and kids love linkin park.

Also possible:
Switch kiss to Rock n Roll all night kids love this song
love is a battlefeild by pat benetar lack of female vocalists
BOC to Godzilla or burnin' for you
Superstition- Stevie Wonder if hmx also got him this on here, this song is incredibly family friendly.
I Heard it Through the grape vine - Marvin Gaye one of his songs is on here if hmx got him also.

[justin19954]

Californication - RHCP

Hardcore soft porn?

[xeroxgp]

I like scorpionspupil's list, but I'd definitely change:

Deep Purple - "Smoke On The Water"
Bad Company - "Rock n' Roll Fantasy"
Blue Oyster Cult - "Godzilla"

[scorpionspupil]

fair swaps

I could see the Kiss song being Rock n' Roll All Nite or Shout it Out Loud, rather than Strutter aswell, if there is one at all that is.

[CommonCriminal]

Prediction:
The Turtles - Happy Together
Bachman-Turner Overdrive - Let It Ride
Foreigner - Hot Blooded

[General Lein979]

The Doobie Brothers - Listen to the Music
Switch this to China Grove it showed on on 1 of the e rated ghot ds games. It's possible hmx got it too.

[ZosoBaron]

I feel like if we get Boston we'll get Amanda. That's Boston's most famous song out of the ones we don't have yet.

What are you talking about? Everybody knows that Boston never released any mediocre power ballad by the name of "Amanda".

Click here. You can guess how much I like this song. (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/DisContinuity)

So yeah, I'd go with Don't Look Back.

[MostSpartan14]

I could see a a Joan Jett song being in the game like I Love Rock and Roll or I Hate Myself for Loving You. I think one of those will be on the disc and one will be DLC for RB.

I understand that this is more of a personal wishlist for you, but I thought you should know that stuff happened after the 80's.


My prediction:

Sweet Victory - Spongebob Squarepants

For crying out loud, "Sweet Victory" is NOT... You know what? I'm tired of saying this. Do your own damn research.

I could see both of these setlists rounding out the game. Switch out a few of the older songs for newer ones, though.

[Riftoff]

For crying out loud, "Sweet Victory" is NOT... You know what? I'm tired of saying this. Do your own damn research.

Whether I say Spongebob or David E., everyone knows the song. Everyone knows it rocks.

[cherokeesam]

Fine I'll write it fully out. :rolleyes:

You miss the point....he meant the song contains the lyrics "hardcore soft porn." NOT something likely to show up in a LEGO setlist. (Not to mention the title alone...."CaliFORNICATION")

Also....this thread has rapidly degenerated into an Ultimate Setlist....

[scorpionspupil]

yeah.....sory about that

[General Lein979]

I don't know how I misunderstood the post now that I look back on it. It makes me seem like someone who breaths through their mouth. Also I agree that it is turning ultimate setlisty. I think we need a sub thread.

[ghostofjarjar]

Enough speculation, a month til release, where's the official setlist?

[General Lein979]

Enough speculation, a month til release, where's the official setlist?I'm calling next week.

[harveyglobetrot]

I'm calling next week.

It could be. At any rate, it will have to be soon; it's only about 3.5 weeks until release day (according to the date mentioned in the removed article).

[avalanchefan84]

Since everybody seems to be throwing out predictions here is mine.

1.The Go-Gos - "Our Lips are Sealed" because they have a song in RB2
2.Grateful Dead- "Touch of Grey"- we know this song is licensed for the RB platform
3.The Wallflowers- "One Headlight" - big hit from the late 90s
4.Traveling Wilburys "Handle With Care"- All Wilburys have a song or appeared in another song through the games or dlc.
5.Weezer- "Island in the Sun" they already have a bunch of songs released so why not one more
6. Spin Doctors- "Two Princes" because I've wanted this song for nearly 2 years,
7.Twisted Sister- "We're not Gonna Take It"- cause it rocks.
8. Gary Newman -"Cars" because of that awesome tambourine part
9.Golden Earring- "Radar Love"- don't have a logical reason
10. The Kinks- "Lola"- because gender confusion is kid friendly right? We want are kids to have open minds right?
11.Los Lobos- "La Bamba"- I know its a cover. Its really fun to sing.
12. Big Country-"In A Big Country"- its on Band Hero so cant be too hard to license.
13.Better than Ezra- "Good"- my list dates me doesn't it.
14 The Bangles-"Walk Like an Egyptian"- lego mummies and pyramids, just picture it.
15. Barenaked Ladies-"One Week" - honestly I picked it because I can't really think of more songs and it happens to fall under the previous song in my itunes.
16.Billy Ocean- "Caribbean Queen" - to start operation hell on earth. cookie to all those who get the obscure reference.
17.The Cranberries- "Dreams" I don't think Zombie would be kid friendly
18. Weird Al Yankovic- "The Saga Begins"- Star Wars lego battle it out in the background.

Ok, I doubt any of those will make the cut. Oh well there is always Lego Rockband 2.

[Skittles]

did I really just see Hendrix on that list?
HELL YEAH!!! :D
god I hope that rumor is true

[Alvarado6411]

I just thought of a band we all overlooked!!

CREEDENCE CLEARWATER REVIVAL!!!

Kid friendly, kick ass classic rock, definitely a major get!

[scorpionspupil]

Yeahyeah

After writing up my list, I remembered them and Skynyrd, and I still think the cover of the game is a huge hint at another brick in the wall (a man can hope, but seriously it would be so perfect)

I could see them tapping Foghat, and The Scorpions too

[harveyglobetrot]

One of the levels is supposed to be about using the "power of rock" to summon a storm. If so, Rock You Like A Hurricane would be perfect.

[Alvarado6411]

I can totally see a level with the lego figures coming down a river playing on a raft. Alligators and snakes around them while playing either "Green River" or "Proud Mary"

[Ramirez16]

4.Traveling Wilburys "Handle With Care"- All Wilburys have a song or appeared in another song through the games or dlc.Maybe Jeff Lynne did play on the Tom Petty tracks but would consider a ELO track as him having a song on the platform. Maybe "Do Ya", "Don't Bring Me Down" or "Hold on Tight" on the game?

[blzbub74]

I just thought of a band we all overlooked!!

CREEDENCE CLEARWATER REVIVAL!!!

Honestly if we were to actually get Heard It Through the Grape Vine, I would really prefer it to be the CCR version. The jam at the end would be a lot of fun.

[kingtonyx]

I think I'm the only one being objective on what the other songs will be, check the link in my sig for more info on that

[aspiring]

Some peoples guessing th erest of the setlist does not seem right, and if so i would be very dissapointed. Yeah they are some good old rock, but really if the game is aimed at a different audience, why would younger kids want to play Boston, Foreigner ZZ Top etc? If so i would be pissed. You only have to look at the stelist so far, as well as Band Heros to see where they are going with the Setlist. I want Taylor Swift, Hilary Duff, New Found Glory, Paramore etc. Songs that is the games market audience. No point saying songs you want just because there kid friendly. I would love some Underoath etc, but its not really suitable for this game.

I would love some Underoath etc, but its not really suitable for this game.

If there's 18-20 songs left to reveal, I'd expect only about 4-5 to be classic rock, TBH.

My own prediction for the remainder:

*LEGO counters BH's Taylor Swift with a couple of exclusive tracks from the JoBros (yeah, retchable to those of us over 18, but this would kill the Taylor Swift attraction for the tweeny-boppers in one fell swoop)
*a Linkin Park Transformers anthem (either What I've Done or New Divide)
*a pop queen like Beyonce, Rihanna, or Mariah
*The Black-Eyed Peas (Boom Boom Pow, or I Gotta Feeling, or Let's Get It Started)
*The Pussycat Dolls (again, steals away a big chunk of Taylor Swift's audience)
*an American Idolist or two, like Kelly Clarkson, David Archuleta, Daughtry or Jordin Sparks
*Katy Perry
*Nickelback (ugh)
*Justin Timberlake
*Kanye (would be hilarious, given the Kanye vs. Taylor battle)
*and more poppy, peppy songs from the 90s-00s.

*EDIT: and also waiting to see what the Limp Bizkit track will be. "Break Stuff" would be appropriate, but VERY inappropriate at the same time. About the only "friendly" radio edit I could think of would be "Rollin' (Air Raid Vehicle)".

[CCDaDon]

Break stuff? On a kids game? LOLNO

[aspiring]

Yeah mate thats what i am getting at. People guessing classic rock is not right as that is not what this game is.

Your setlist i would cream my pants over though. As stupid as i probably will sound, but this is what I want from my LEGO experience. I know its aimed at kids and i want in. Pussycat Dolls, Jonas Brothers, Kate Perry, Kelly Clarkson etc. I am hoping that these or similar are whats there. It would be amazing. But if the rest of the setlist contains classic rock i will be pissed. But i doubt it as thats not what the target audience for this game likes.



Break stuff? On a kids game? LOLNO

Again, people see the word "f*CK or **** and see suggestive lyrics and say no to a kids game, yet rquest Boston, Motley Crue and Foreigner??? What kid likes these bands? What kid has heard of them??? (Not directed at you CCDaDon just using your quote as an example)

[cherokeesam]

Break stuff? On a kids game? LOLNO

Yeah, I had to rethink that.

TBH, I don't see ANY Bizkit being friendly, unless it's "Behind Blue Eyes" again. We'll see.

I think the Limp Bizkit track will be "Build A Bridge" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H_uxdL8tJ00)

[aspiring]

If we had to have Limp Bizkit i would love My Way. Great song.

[cyborggrimreaper]

ya know i wonder where is the forum section committed to Lego Rock Band less then a month a way and the game hasn't had its own section so we can talk about the wonders of the game lol

[General Lein979]

If there's 18-20 songs left to reveal, I'd expect only about 4-5 to be classic rock, TBH.

My own prediction for the remainder:

*LEGO counters BH's Taylor Swift with a couple of exclusive tracks from the JoBros (yeah, retchable to those of us over 18, but this would kill the Taylor Swift attraction for the tweeny-boppers in one fell swoop)
*a Linkin Park Transformers anthem (either What I've Done or New Divide)
*a pop queen like Beyonce, Rihanna, or Mariah
*The Black-Eyed Peas (Boom Boom Pow, or I Gotta Feeling, or Let's Get It Started)
*The Pussycat Dolls (again, steals away a big chunk of Taylor Swift's audience)
*an American Idolist or two, like Kelly Clarkson, David Archuleta, Daughtry or Jordin Sparks
*Katy Perry
*Nickelback (ugh)
*Justin Timberlake
*Kanye (would be hilarious, given the Kanye vs. Taylor battle)
*and more poppy, peppy songs from the 90s-00s.

*EDIT: and also waiting to see what the Limp Bizkit track will be. "Break Stuff" would be appropriate, but VERY inappropriate at the same time. About the only "friendly" radio edit I could think of would be "Rollin' (Air Raid Vehicle)".You seem to forget that legos are dude orientated toys, whats the last time you saw a little boy kid with a jonas brothers shirt.

[cyborggrimreaper]

the other day while in the mall i saw a boy with a jonas brothers t-shirt i was sad then the next kid that past me had a pussycat dolls t-shirt and i was happy again

[Schultzy]

...yet rquest Boston, Motley Crue and Foreigner??? What kid likes these bands? What kid has heard of them??? (Not directed at you CCDaDon just using your quote as an example)

Granted, kids most likely haven't heard of these bands. But do you think I knew who Boston was in Guitar Hero One? No. Did More Than a Feelings still change my life? Yes. Is Boston now my favorite band ever? Yes. It doesn't matter if the kids know every single band on the setlist; the music is still gonna be good and they're gonna love the game.

Besides, who's the one buying the game; the adults or the kids? If the parents see that Jimi Hendrix, Queen, David Bowie, etc, the music that they grew up to as kids, is on a game directed at their kids, chances are they're gonna buy it for them.

And it isn't like the whole game is chock full of classic rock. It's apparent that the setlist is spread out across all the musical genres to give kids a good handful of different types of music.

[General Lein979]

Some peoples guessing th erest of the setlist does not seem right, and if so i would be very dissapointed. Yeah they are some good old rock, but really if the game is aimed at a different audience, why would younger kids want to play Boston, Foreigner ZZ Top etc? If so i would be pissed. You only have to look at the stelist so far, as well as Band Heros to see where they are going with the Setlist. I want Taylor Swift, Hilary Duff, New Found Glory, Paramore etc. Songs that is the games market audience. No point saying songs you want just because there kid friendly.I say that classic rock will work:

1. kids end up hearing what ever their parents have on in the car the most and so we need to find out what's their parents favorite music.

2. The average age of the parents is 28 when they have their first kid. I choose 18 because seeing how your not going to go through a big music style change past 18 at least I don't think so.

3. The parents were 18 in 1984 for kids who are 13
The parents who were 18 in 1989 kids are around 8

4. The stations that cover those years are Classic Rock stations.

5. Kids like Classic rock.

[geo2n2]

Prediction:
.
.
.
Loverboy - Working for the Weekend
Scandal - The Warrior

that's it for now. 90's and 00's later.

These would make me very happy. I've been hoping for Harmonix to bring back The Warrior, and this might be the chance. It's a catchy, family friendly pop/rock anthem. I loved it as a kid. Working for the Weekend is much needed too,

[CommonCriminal]

Now for the rest of my prediction:
The Smashing Pumpkins - Tonight, Tonight
EMF - Unbelievable
The Darkness - I Believe in a Thing Called Love
Andrew W.K. - Party Hard
The Mooney Suzuki - Alive & Amplified
Rise Against - Drones
Mika - Love Today
Junior Senior - Shake Your Coconuts
The Fratellis - Chelsea Dagger
Muse - Invincible
Ram Jam - Black Betty

[OrdealByFire]

Now for the rest of my prediction:
The Smashing Pumpkins - Tonight, Tonight
EMF - Unbelievable
The Darkness - I Believe in a Thing Called Love
Andrew W.K. - Party Hard
The Mooney Suzuki - Alive & Amplified
Rise Against - Drones
Mika - Love Today
Junior Senior - Shake Your Coconuts
The Fratellis - Chelsea Dagger
Muse - Invincible
Ram Jam - Black Betty

I am willing to bet we will see Alive and Amplified.

Hasn't it been rumored for a long while?

I'd be SHOCKED to not see it in LEGO, or at least in upcoming DLC.

[lotr rocks 0]

*LEGO counters BH's Taylor Swift with a couple of exclusive tracks from the JoBros (yeah, retchable to those of us over 18, but this would kill the Taylor Swift attraction for the tweeny-boppers in one fell swoop)



I will Instantly NOT buy this game if any jonas brothers are confirmed... lol

[General Lein979]

I just though about something this game is lacking lead female vocalists there's what 2 / 26 so far

[OrdealByFire]

I can see where Harmonix would be coming from to have a Jonas Brothers song on disc, but I'd still be extremely disappointed.

But please Harmonix if you do, make it only ONE song from either them or Taylor Swift or whatever.

PLEASE!

[Sveppi]

Now for the rest of my prediction:
The Smashing Pumpkins - Tonight, Tonight
EMF - Unbelievable
The Darkness - I Believe in a Thing Called Love
Andrew W.K. - Party Hard
The Mooney Suzuki - Alive & Amplified
Rise Against - Drones
Mika - Love Today
Junior Senior - Shake Your Coconuts
The Fratellis - Chelsea Dagger
Muse - Invincible
Ram Jam - Black Betty

Sweet, wouldn't hate quite a few of those songs :)

Can't wait for the setlist though.

[bonethug0108]

I just though about something this game is lacking lead female vocalists there's what 2 / 26 so far

Maybe we'll get hand in my pocket or you learn. One can hope.:D

[OrdealByFire]

Are there any GH5 songs that are "kid friendly" and could potentially be in this game?

I'll say:
"American Pie" Don McLean
"Nothin' But a Good Time" Poison
"If You Could Only See" Tonic
"Mr. Roboto" Styx
"Ocean Avenue" Yellowcard -PLEASE-
"She Will Be Loved" Maroon 5
"Whip It" Devo
"Y.M.C.A." Village People

[Shorty11857]

I say that classic rock will work:

I kinda agree I mean the other day my sister (10) asked me if I could bring my xbox and rock band down to the living room so her and her friends could play (ages 9-11). I'm pretty sure the setlist was Alice Copper Poison (five times), both 30 Seconds to Mars songs, Bon Jovi, Jackson 5, Kaiser Chiefs, Don't Stop Believing, Mr. Brightside etc.

Point is a lot of kids like the classic rock songs that are always played on the radio and the current pop-rock that is currently played. I think HMX know they need a balance between what kids will love and what would alienate the existing fanbase.

If I had to guess on the rest of the setlist I'd go with Paramore, The Killers, Taylor Swift (if she's not exclusive), and some other stuff I can't think of now

Then again I'm just hoping the setlist stays mostly good, there's enough stuff in there I dislike already :p

[cherokeesam]

Now for the rest of my prediction:
The Smashing Pumpkins - Tonight, Tonight
EMF - Unbelievable
The Darkness - I Believe in a Thing Called Love
Andrew W.K. - Party Hard
The Mooney Suzuki - Alive & Amplified
Rise Against - Drones
Mika - Love Today
Junior Senior - Shake Your Coconuts
The Fratellis - Chelsea Dagger
Muse - Invincible
Ram Jam - Black Betty

Pretty good setlist prediction, except for Black Betty....I REALLY want this song in the game, but I doubt it will come to us through LEGO..."Black Betty had a child, the damn thing's gone wild"

[CommonCriminal]

Pretty good setlist prediction, except for Black Betty....I REALLY want this song in the game, but I doubt it will come to us through LEGO..."Black Betty had a child, the damn thing's gone wild"

Yeah, you're right. I didn't think about the lyrics. Scratch that one.

[CommonCriminal]

I am willing to bet we will see Alive and Amplified.

Hasn't it been rumored for a long while?

I'd be SHOCKED to not see it in LEGO, or at least in upcoming DLC.

Link? If you're serious, that is so awesome. I've wanted that song for so long.

[OrdealByFire]

Link? If you're serious, that is so awesome. I've wanted that song for so long.

I can try finding a link.. it was back in Summer of '08 or something I think.

No luck. It might be somewhere linked on this forum though, but I remember hearing something.

[Dragonclaw]

If I had to predict another 19 songs appropriate for Lego...That could have a Lego-ish story / antics in the background...

01) Nickelback - Leader Of Men
02) Styx - Mr Roboto
03) Blue Oyster Cult - Godzilla
04) Talking Heads - Burning Down The House
05) Spin Doctors - Two Princes
06) Alice In Chains - Them Bones (lots of Lego Skelletons!)
07) Airbourne Toxic Event - Wishing Well
08) AC/DC - Long Way To The Top
09) 3 Doors Down - Not My Time
10) REM - Man On The Moon (or Bad Day...I could see a really funny Lego backstory for that one :) )
11) They Might Be Giants - Istanbul
12) Radiohead - Paranoid Android
13) Bowling For Soup - 1985 (lots of Lego-fied avatars of other artists!)
14) Barenaked Ladies - One Week
15) The Village people - YMCA
16) The Rolling Stones - Paint It Black
17) The White Stripes - Icky Stomp
18) B-52's - Rock Lobster
19) Sammy Hagar - I Can't Drive 55

[CloudWolf]

17) The White Stripes - Icky Thump
Fell in Love With a Girl would be better suited for LEGO, just watch the music video.

Besides, Icky Thump is pretty much confirmed to be DLC in November (the Wired article has proven to be pretty trustworthy).

[Ramirez16]

*an American Idolist or two, like Kelly Clarkson, David Archuleta, Daughtry or Jordin SparksHopefully David Cook and Daughtry if that happens!

[Fuelie79]

Nobody else thinks Green Day and Pearl Jam are shoe-ins for this game?

[bonethug0108]

Nobody else thinks Green Day and Pearl Jam are shoe-ins for this game?

No. I believe both are being saved for track packs next year.

And IF we get an american idolist: daughtry- it's not over.

[Dragonclaw]

Fell in Love With a Girl would be better suited for LEGO, just watch the music video.

Yeah, forgot about the video. Icky Thump just happened to be on the radio and my son was (still is) playing with his Legos (and a Godzilla toy) as I typed so it just connected :p

[SonicRocker15X]

Nobody else thinks Green Day and Pearl Jam are shoe-ins for this game?

Green Day seems to be, Pearl Jam, as much as I like them, no way in hell of them appearing.

[Lily_Mu]

Now for the rest of my prediction:
The Smashing Pumpkins - Tonight, Tonight
EMF - Unbelievable
The Darkness - I Believe in a Thing Called Love
Andrew W.K. - Party Hard
The Mooney Suzuki - Alive & Amplified
Rise Against - Drones
Mika - Love Today
Junior Senior - Shake Your Coconuts
The Fratellis - Chelsea Dagger
Muse - Invincible
Ram Jam - Black Betty

Alive and Amplified?

WIN.

[General Lein979]

Seeing how everyone is doing these:

1. Godzilla- Blue Oyster Cult #3 of boc and also licensed to smash hits.
2. Love is battle field- Pat Benatar both games have gotten the other 2 we have, it's not a leap in logic they also got the 3rd what is on band hero
3. Time of the Season- The Zombies Zombie # 3
4. Danger High Voltage- Electric Six relatively tame could be the storm scenario. theoretical #4 3 for dlc 1 for disc
5. I want you to want me (live at budakan)- Cheap Trick on band hero, live because this is the superior version (universal opinion) No cheap trick in while and relatively tame.
6. Somebody told me- the killers showed up on dj, relatively tame, and both series have gotten the big hits
7. Whip it- Devo what the most family friendly hit missing I wonder. Also band hero
8. Superstition- Stevie wonder gh:5 and lego quality because this song is always in movie trailers what is where a kid might hear it.
9. Falling down- Atreyu on the E rated GH:OT MH and on the same label as queen and breaking Benjamin
10. Beverly Hills- Weezer We saw more weezer in the summer simmilar to out foo fighters situation and this one is pretty kid friendly
11. The impression I get - Mighty Mighty Bosstones Band hero and a hmx employee manages them
12. Do it again- Steely Dan The most family friendly and biggest hit was missing, it's not a leap in logic to guess it's here.
13. Use Somebody- Kings of Leon Family friendly the theoretical #4
14. Somebody to love- Jefferson Airplane I doubt hmx got only 1 song and the more friendly of the 2 was missing
15. American Pie- Don Mclean Band hero
16. Here's to the night- Eve 6 Not a leap in logic that they got another song and more kid friendly then inside out.
17. Sugar, We're Going Down- Fall out boy band hero
18. Ocean Avenue- Yellow card Band hero
19. When I'm Gone- 3 doors down It's not a leap in logic to guess that both games got this song since both games got kryptonite.

[Arkane]

I would like to see Sugar Sugar from the Archies :)

[LordFlatus]

I would like to see Sugar Sugar from the Archies :)

As lame as that sounds on first read.....it would be freakin' AWESOME! :D

Hendrix
Queen
Sum 41
Pantera? (OK, I really doubt it, but it would be awesome)

[overdriveguitarman]

Hendrix
Incubus
Queen
Sum 41

Only 4...

[sonicnerd23]

Hell, why not.

1. Kiss - Rock 'n' Roll All Nite (live) (or Shout It Out Loud, but most likely the former)
2. Deep Purple - Smoke on the Water
3. Poison - Every Rose Has Its Thorn
4. Twisted Sister - I Wanna Rock or We're Not Gonna Take It

[Kariodude]

Wow, this wish-listing really needs to stop. I used to enjoy reading this thread.

[Awesomeness101]

No. I believe both are being saved for track packs next year.

And IF we get an american idolist: daughtry- it's not over.


Over You > It's Not Over

[General Lein979]

Pantera? (OK, I really doubt it, but it would be awesome)Death Rattle (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LmcqcVq9DJg) was in the spongebob episode pre hibernation week. That seems kid friendly to me. Lyrics (http://www.lyricsfreak.com/p/pantera/death+rattle_20104443.html) are fine too. Megadeth (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TYcg6LWad4c) is good too.

[DookieMan]

so what is everyone's guesses at the rest of the set-list then, that leaves 19 tracks to be revealed. (also I'm still a stick in the mud with the ZZTop/AC/DC thing cause I want both :P)

1) Squeezebox -The Who (Can't have an RB game without them)
2) Hush - Deep Purple (rounding out the 3 pack)
3) 7 Screaming Diz-Busters - Blue Oyster Cult (rounding out the 3 pack)
4) Bungle in the Jungle - Jethro Tull (rounding out the 3-pack)
5) Time of the Season - The Zombies (rounding out the 3-pack)
6) Cold as Ice - Foreigner (Foriegner is just too kid-friendly to not have in this)
7) Cheap Sunglasses - ZZTop (Assuming the rumor is true)
8) It's a Long Way to the Top (if You Want to Rock n' Roll) - AC/DC (assuming the rumor is true)
9) Dancing With Myself - Billy Idol (despite the undertones it's very kid friendly)
10) Surrender - Cheap Trick (surprised Trick hasn't returned yet)
11) Feel Like Making Love - Bad Company (see above)
12) Fly By Night - Rush (can't have a proper RB game without Rush)
13) Rock n' Roll Highschool - The Ramones (cracked file)
14) Rock the Casbah - The Clash (come on you know you want it)
15) Strutter - Kiss (rounding out 3 Kiss master tracks)
16) Don't Look Back - Boston (no Boston track was the biggest hole in RB2)
17) Burning Down the House - The Talking Heads (it's surprising absence from the pack)
18) Rock Lobster - The B-52's (we've known about a B-52's song for awhile, perfect place for it)
19) Brown Sugar - The Rollingstones (cracked DLC file)

....somewhere down the line, it became more what I want, than what I actually think could happen, though most of them do have some basis in reality with them being mostly RB1/RB2 bands, that had decent following in RB circles, with alot of marketability to kids.
Do you really think Squeezebox will be in the game considering its suggestiveness?

Also, to the guy who suggested "Party Hard", that would be extremely epic.

Amanda first.

[scorpionspupil]

To all the folks, suggesting stuff like Taylor Swift and Hilary Duff...

What the hell is wrong with you? seriously

Look at the set-list so far, anything there leading you to think they'd be there? the 40 year old J5 track? or P!nk the pop star who desperately tries to pretend to be punk?

Look at the rest of the set-list, it's a good spread of popular rock songs, and commercial anthems.

This isn't Rock Band Pop, it's Lego Rock Band, it's Rock Band with Lego avi's, and remember some kids actually do have some taste contrary to what the disney channel leads you to believe. Would you like HMX to sign off on the use of their name to participate in the general musical castration that would involve pushing the Jonas Brothers on impressionable kids?

This isn't Rock Band's answer to Band Hero, though they are aimed at vaguely the same audience. It's Rock Band reaching out to younger audiences, and I'd honestly prefer they didn't stoop to Band Hero's level of pandering.

[RoboEnigma]

An accordion is suggestive?



Pete: "Intended as a poorly aimed dirty joke. I had bought myself an accordion and learned to play it one afternoon. The polka-esque rhythm I managed to produce from it brought forth this song. Amazingly recorded by The Who to my disbelief. Further incredulity was caused when it became a hit for us in the USA."

You might move the accordion in and out to play it, but that's not what the song is talking about, I assure you.

[T-Hybrid]

[aspiring]

Well said mate, well said!

[JPSChampagne]

I'd say there's only a handful of songs that are reasonable to expect here. I don't think the picks are going to be obvious modern pop rock, as I don't hear many kids singing T-Rex. I think all we can really do is consider songs we know HMX has sitting around. I'd consider...

The Cure - Just Like Heaven
Grateful Dead - Touch of Grey
Green Day - American Idiot
The Pixies - Where Is My Mind
REM - What's the Frequency, Kenneth?
Talking Heads - Burning Down the House
Yeah Yeah Yeah's - Gold Lion

And likely some others. Those are just the ones that have been on reliable leaks (and one that I think is pretty obvious by its omission in that artist's pack) that are most well-known and family friendly.

And though I know I just sort of contributed to it - but this isn't a wishlist thread. This is for discussion about rumors and facts about Lego: Rock Band. Not the Ultimate Setlist forum. The songs I posted are just ones that have been lingering for a while that would fit in really well on the Lego game, as some long-rumored songs have turned up on it so far.

[General Lein979]

Green Day - American Idiot
Come on you can think of a better pick lyrically wise for a kids game by greenday then that. When I come around or Welcome to paradise even.

[Nick360]

Will the Wii version have online play or DLC?

The reason I ask is because I've checked the GameStop website, and I noticed on the boxart that the Wi-Fi Connection logo is missing and it doesn't mention anything about online at all.

Just to let everyone know, the Best Buy preorder for LEGO: Rock Band is now available in stores, and it comes with a different preorder bonus keychain than the Gamestop keychain! Here is a pic I took of mine:

http://img258.imageshack.us/img258/1724/dscf5782.jpg

Again, unlike Gamestop, this keychain is immediately available in the preorder box at Best Buy, not packaged with the game at release. So those of you interested in getting a keychain now, go forth to Best Buy.

EDIT: The Lego brick he is standing on isn't included, I just needed something for the fig to stand on while I took the pic.

EDIT 2: Toys R' Us Online is actually selling the keychain by itself (weird) if you want to see another picture of it.

The Cure - Just Like Heaven


YES. YES. NEED THE CURE.

Yes, we do need The Cure. However, considering the tone of the song, I'd say that this would be better as DLC for the main games, and have Friday I'm in Love in this game instead.

I saw it today when I went to Best Buy to play DJ Hero (which is really good by the way). The little lego figurine is kidda cool but it seems kind of pointless since you can make your own character. They should have had lego figurines of some of the default game characters instead of a generic character.

Nope. I'm pretty sure they didn't even mention the game.
