[idiotec]

I must need some more coffee this morning. I could of sworn that I saw Ashley Simpson in your list. :eek:

[XxMayhemxX]

yeah you did,
Like i said, its not metal only or one persons likes or another persons dislikes.
Its about good songs, that you can jam on and having fun with. Especially since its meant to be a group effort. Its a good song, catchy tune, exactly what they are looking for.
Just because you dont like certain songs or artists doesnt make them not good. I hate Elvis and the Beatles, do they suck?

[idiotec]

So, could you just lip-sync the lyrics and get 100%? :p

[XxMayhemxX]

lip sync yes !! lol

Altho you do know that almost all live performances, especially televised ones, have a background track playing.. so the artists can take breaths.. get water and such.. they dont dance and go nuts in studio when they make the master recordings.

[Necrotide]

I can't believe they censored the 'G@y' in Marvin G@ye!!

[IOIHUMMERIOI]

So, could you just lip-sync the lyrics and get 100%? :p

LOL!!!

This one made me laugh.


I'll say it again here.....


Zombie's "Thunderkiss '65"

It SCREAMS Rock Band....

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0VELvq-faGk

[BeckRokk]

Hummer, have you heard of a game called Guitar Hero? You should check it out. :p

But really, I doubt HMX would go over stuff they've done before.

[XxMayhemxX]

lol i didnt see that weird..

[IOIHUMMERIOI]

Hummer, have you heard of a game called Guitar Hero? You should check it out. :p

But really, I doubt HMX would go over stuff they've done before.

Well damn. I didn't own the first Guitar Hero and didn't know it was on there. (Not a Playstation fan at all, which sucks as I want the 80's edition). Maybe they will go back and redo some of those that were popular and bring it to "band" life. :D

[Jarrod20]

Ashley Simpson, Kevin Lyttle, Ricky Martin, Gwen Stefani and KT Tunstall. Is this for Rock Band or an old episode of MTV's TRL

[newwaytodie]

Ashley Simpson - Boyfriend - repetitive.. but a good party song


BAN HIM!!!!

[XxMayhemxX]

notice no ones commenting on any of the other songs.. just pop or other music types..

you guys might wanna buy Guitar Hero 3 and stay way from rock band

[GrayInvisible]

BAN HIM!!!!

Oh god that song is horrible.

[Jarrod20]

XxMayhemxX you might find ten ppl in the entire world that want to play that song. This is ROCK band not American Idol. Ashley Simpson does, in no way, rock.

[Jarrod20]

notice no ones commenting on any of the other songs.. just pop or other music types..

you guys might wanna buy Guitar Hero 3 and stay way from rock band


Dude the game is called ROCK Band. Makes sense for people to want ROCK music and other ROCKing genres. And pop my friend, is not rock in any sense. If you are gonna suggest songs like Boyfriend, maybe you need to buy the American Idol game or umm that Get On Da Mic game and stay away from a game about ROCK music.

[MasterShake]

We NEED Baba O Reilly, Pain by 3DG, and most of that other stuff!!!! Great list man!

[XxMayhemxX]

Ashley Simpson is rock music ******... if you dont like it dont buy it...
Like you said, its ROCK BAND... not heavy metal band or guitar hero....Apparently you didnt read my whole post did you?.. go back up and read it... there's plenty of ROCK songs for you...take your pick and stfu.

[Rev0lver]

how the **** is ashley simpson rock music?

[XxMayhemxX]

you might wanna read my first post too, and focus on the first paragragh.. might learn something

[Rev0lver]

i did. ashley simpson fits into the same genre as her sister and kelly clarkson. POP.

[XxMayhemxX]

i did. ashley simpson fits into the same genre as her sister and kelly clarkson. POP.

No you didnt.. lol reread it again... my bad, 3rd paragraph, right before the 200 list.
Their is all diff kinds of rock.. not just the kind you prefer...lol

Michael Jackson was on that list... Beat It would be a good song for it(better for Rock the 80's but oh well...), and hes known as the king of POP.

You might wanna hold off until they make a Heavy Metal or Hard rock game...Guitar Hero 3 maybe

[Rev0lver]

i don't think michael jackson should be in either. and neither of them are rock. they are pop. which is 100% singing oriented. this is rock band. not karaoke.

[jeremy6993]

you have some okay songs but i dont thing i like you

[Jarrod20]

I think Mayhem is confused about which game he is posting on. Ashley Simpson is not rock and therefore should not be in a rock game. I don't have a problem with the other songs that were actually rock, but the pop songs shouldn't even be listed in a forum about a rock game. This is ROCK band not POP band, so ya know I think ppl are gonna want rock music. Makes sense huh? But if you wanna keep makin yourself look like a jackass then be my guest.

[XxMayhemxX]

like i said.... it is ROCK BAND.. lol not guitar hero, not Heavy Metal Band.... so drop it....

You might not want to buy this game... better wait for heavy metal band... and yes Ashley Simpson is Rock.. theres more then one genre of Rock.. do you know what genre means??
lol

[Jarrod20]

If Harmonix read this thread then they are probably like the rest of us. Laughing their asses off and in shock of such ignorant requests. Let me see, they made Guitar Hero which was a rock based game and are now making Rock Band, a rock based game. I don't remember playing any Ashley Simpson or any other pop artist/band for that matter in either Guitar Hero, which probably means there won't be any pop music in this ROCK game either. Just face it, you're arguing over a lost cause because those songs don't have a chance making it anyway. I'm pretty sure that the majority of the general public do not want to play a Rock game featuring Ashley Simpson. Maybe some young boys and girls and a few perverts. But not any of the rest of us. People buy a ROCK game to ROCK out not be a pop star. And even if you wanted a kinda pop girl to make it in this game take Avril Lavigne's. She's more rock than Ashley Simpson. But I am through arguing with you. People who know real rock music will read this forum and laugh at your posts. I guess you are entitled to your opinion even if it is ignorance.

[Rev0lver]

like i said.... it is ROCK BAND.. lol not guitar hero, not Heavy Metal Band.... so drop it....

You might not want to buy this game... better wait for heavy metal band... and yes Ashley Simpson is Rock.. theres more then one genre of Rock.. do you know what genre means??
lol

holy sh!t are you reading our posts at all? ASHLEY SIMPSON IS NOT IN ANY WAY, SHAPE, OR FORM ROCK. POP IS NOT ROCK, DUMBASS. out point IS that it is ROCK band, which is our argument against YOU.

[XxMayhemxX]

you guys are really ignorant..... pop isnt rock... hello..... mcfly!!!
Simpson is rock.. not pop... look it up.. shes compared to Pat Benetar.
For the last time.. dont buy the game.. wait for heavy metal band to come out... then buy that.. or stick with guitar hero3 this game isnt for you guys....

[Rev0lver]

no, this game isn't for YOU ******. wait until pop idol comes out. and yes, pop isn't rock.

[Phiromos]

i love how the little first time poster here is trying to defend himself against countless senior posters who know what this game is about....just thought id point that out...rather funny

[XxMayhemxX]

try not to be so narrowed minded with your music genres.. then we'll talk. Move along and flame someone else now...

[XxMayhemxX]

im prolly older then all of you and have been listenoing to rock before half of you were born.. amount of posts.. lol theres good one

[Rev0lver]

try not to be so narrowed minded with your music genres.. then we'll talk. Move along and flame someone else now...

i'm not narrow minded. i listen to alot of different music. i'm just trying to show you that pop is not rock. if 50 cent has a song with guitar and drums, does that make 50 cent rock? no. pop music has no place in this game.

[Phiromos]

it is a good one..i find it halariously funny hahahahaha (slowly)HA HA HA

[XxMayhemxX]

i'm not narrow minded. i listen to alot of different music. i'm just trying to show you that pop is not rock. if 50 cent has a song with guitar and drums, does that make 50 cent rock? no. pop music has no place in this game.

Sure you are.. you do know rock encompasses more then heavy metal right? move along young blood

[Rev0lver]

Sure you are.. you do know rock encompasses more then heavy metal right? move along young blood
