I'm a huge fan of KoRn myself, but I dunno how easy it would be to get a song of theirs in Rock Band. As much as I wish it could happen the problem is that Fieldy from KoRn doesn't strum most songs, he plays slap-bass. Then again, there's those few songs like Blind or, Alone I Break, that don't include him playing slap-bass that hopefully they'll consider putting in the game. I like the idea. =)

don't know why it would suck
but if they did im sure they could just have you play alot of notes at once in sted of the usual one or two at a time when playing bass

Again, Korn would be a REALLY poor choice of song for Rock Band... if we ignore the fact that they're not really that good to begin with (The only two songs I like (well one anda half) is Shoots & Ladders, and the introduction of Blind).
You then have the fact that they need lyrics that the majority of users can sing (and what's more, would want to sing), that wouldn't be Korn. They "might" include a song or two as DLC, but I really can't see them putting much thought into getting them.

Ok if you don't like them you don't need to state your opinion like its a fact
their still kicking around after 10 years for a reason and being not that good isn't it

For
1: Just because you don't like KoRn doesn't mean anything, this game seems pretty much community driven so far.
2: I grew up on KoRn, they kick ass...until they lost HEAD (****).
3: I would be very impressed to find someone who could actually vocalize their voice like J.D can do, he is awesome.
4: I would love to play KoRn in Rock Band, and there are WAY more people that would rather play it then complain about such as you did.
Take your opinion and shove it up your ass. kthxbye

I hate Korn, but wouldn't mind them in as dlc for the sake of the people who like them. We have room for any bands since we have DLC.

I have no problem with people who like them, and if you like them, bully for you. But to even ATTEMPT to say "they would be a good choice for the game" is to ignore the majority of users again. The singing (if you can really call their shouty screamy stuff singing...) is NOT what the general public can do, nor is it something the majority will even want to do.
It's a possibility for DLC, but not for the main game.

Then again, you seem to assume every song is "shouty screamy stuff", in which case there are those that are not =/
Just gettin' that out there, and you're not all-knowing in what the general public wants, either.
lorddavid
07-23-2007, 07:48 AM
I can be 100% sure that ol' Joe Public are not in the majority when it comes to the shouty screamy stuff.
Let's be honest... the majority of the songs will likely be in a similar vein to the classic rock music that made rock popular. Korn have never been anywhere near mainstream, and so that works against them, the fact that there's such a huge divide over that style of music (beaten out only by Emo music), means it's another unlikely reason to get in the game. Then the fact that the lyrics are either sweary (meaning it's unlikely to get in over non-sweary lyrics for this game, GH can edit it better, this can't so much I feel, thanks to the singing aspect), or very very shouty (or both).
Korn as a whole works against what this game should be about... playing fun rock songs. I see nothing fun, nor entertaining in playing Korn.
Like I say, I COULD see it as DLC, but NOT as a main song. Why would it bother you that much if it wasn't in the main set list yet was up for DLC?
There's tons of artists that I'd love to see on there (Within Temptation, Hammerfall, Edguy, Lordi, Nightwish etc.) that I can readily admit aren't really the right type to be in the main set list, however as DLC? Yeah, I could see that.

That's right, YOU see nothing fun nor entertaining about playing KoRn.
Doesn't mean I think the same thing along with alot of other people.
Just how much did you listen to them to be talking around like you're the king know-it-all about them, anyway?
And 100% sure? Let's be honest, that was either bad sarcasm or you just couldn't think of anything better to say than "ol' Public Joe" =/

Are you really going to sit there and state that the majority of people who buy this are going to be people who would be running out and buying Korn albums? Seriously...?
The MAJORITY of people that will end up buying this game will actually be parents buying a game with the guitar (or possibly microphone/drums) for their kid, for Christmas. Therefore, I can pretty much guarentee you that the majority of the players will not be wanting Korn on the initial set list. Try backing up the band all you want... but admit that not EVERY band you like is suited to the game. It needs the wider appeal, Korn does not have it.

Hmmmmm you have a point and ok, I admit it.
Then again, I don't remember stating KORN SHOULD DEFINETLY BE IN THIS GAME, if you look back I actually stated reasons why I think they WOULDN'T be in the game, second post down on the first page. Nor do I remeber stating that "EVERY band" I like should be in the game either, hmm....
Sadly you came in here and started to bash a band I grew up with using YOUR own opinions, in of whiches I'd appreciate you could keep to yourself.
Thanks much.
lorddavid
07-23-2007, 08:33 AM
Actually... I didn't bash it much... in fact my only "bash" came from saying they weren't very good in my initial post, a statement that I personally view as correct. (I dislike them, I have a right to state as much). The rest of what I said was fact (It's not mainstream, it's not popular in general, and the majority of people WOULD dislike listening to it... kinda like how the majority would hate MCR, and would probably dislike Zeromancer too (a band I actually love to listen to)).
The rest of what I said was about how they'd not be a good choice for the main set list, but that I COULD see them being available as downloadable content

True, you have your own opinion, but you really can't say "they aren't good" as a fact, to others it's not, so respect them.
And for the majority of people who have brought some of their albums, you know, some award winning ones, millions of die-hard fans by the millions who follow them on tour every year, that's not a majority?
lorddavid
07-23-2007, 09:34 AM
No, it's not... because of those millions... mebbe a few thousand the world over might buy the game...
consider the fact that there's billions and billions of people in the world (and worth noting that of those millions who go to their concerts, a fair sized chunk of those numbers are people who have been to more than one concert, it's really just saying amount of tickets sold, rather than unique people who went to the concerts).
As such, the people who are gonna buy this game... the fans of bands of Korn and a similar ilk are still in a minority.
Just like I'm pretty sure that people who would love Within Temptation, Nightwish & Lordi to be in the game are a minority (i.e. me).
However a LOT of people enjoy stuff like say... The Who, Iggy Pop, Metallica etc. they're big names who are pretty widely going to get an "oooh, awesome!" from people, as opposed to either Korn, or WT.
I'm not specifically singling out Korn, it's just this was a Korn thread, if it was a band I don't mind listening to (I'll direct ya to the Rammstein thread for that'un...) I'd say the same thing if I didn't feel it would fit.
However Korn not being good IS fact for "my" opinion, other people can disagree, but I don't feel I need to state that something I say is an opinion... now if it's actually a fact, THEN i'll state it as such, because then it needs to be shown to be, anything else is pretty much opinion...
In fact, anything BUT facts, is opinion, regardless of what it is in life... but that's a tangent for another thread, lol.

Look, seeing as in a way we are the same in the fact that or bands are probably not gonna be in the game, I'm just gonna stop now cuz this is getting to be too much lol I just dislike it when people judge bands so harshly, but I understand your points as much as you understand mine, so it's all good lol.

korn is one of the few decent bands left... and I'm sorry but they're a hell of a lot more mainstream than a lot of the stuff I saw in the guitar hero games... whether you want to believe it or not... these days, korn is way more mainstream than pretty much anything in GH games... again, you have to realize that a good portion of the people who will be buying rock band are teens between the ages of 14 and 18.... many of those people are korn fans... korn alone obviously isn't going to sell the game... but it could add at least a couple thousand extra sells to korn fans...
of course, no one can say anything about this game for sure... afterall, it hasn't come out yet...

Where's the official charts that they've gotten in, if they're "mainstream"?
Even Within Temptation got into the UK chart and they've NEVER released a single here officially.
Again, I'm not stating that they're crap (Tho' I admit they're pretty poor in my eyes), and yeah, they MAY be bigger than a handful of bands in GH, but by the same token... Rock Band is likely to be even bigger, and will likely have more known bands (I've heard they want a huge list of rock spanning the decades).
Again, it's not the type of rock that will work for the initial game, however if they wise to release it for DLC, then fine, go for it.
Regarding DLC tho'... I have a huge feeling that certain bands that have a possibility of getting a lot of buys, but they're not sure about, will have one or two songs up for DLC before an entire album goes up, although some bands (Say... Ozzy, Maiden, Metallica, Who) will be given a shot instantly. That way, if nobody buys the single songs, (Well, a small amount only anyway), they wont bother with a full album, yet if people go nuts over them, they'll possibily release a full album.
So if they release a song or two on DLC by Korn... mebbe we'll find out if people DO want 'em if a follow up album is made... lol. That'd solve any bickering.

True their newer stuff isn't as great as their old stuff, but they still rock and are very deserving of having at least one song in the game. Every single song on the first album was a stroke of genius. I- I can't ... I just don't get how.. kahguh kah! I'm choking on my own rage here!

Like I said before... I've heard two songs I can listen to by them... Shoots and Ladders (the name annoys me because of the whole American "Shoots and Ladders" thing... it's sodding Snakes and Ladders!), and the intro of Blind.
Other than that... they're just bland, with no redeeming qualities.
But that's my opinion, and you're entitled to your own... they are, however, still better than MCR...

Jon davis said one of his songs sounded like the cheers intro in an interview. Ben responded with that review of nu-metal mallcore crap. I found it to be hilarious. I really like where he makes fun of how all the songs from nu-metal bands have the same composition closing with the stupid gradually rising repeating vocals at the end.

I started liking KoRn before they became huge. Call me crazy, but I like their music, and don't like them just because they're popular. That's just silly. They do put on great shows, and don't lip synch or any of that crap that people idolize.
There are other bands that get ZERO local radio play (pick up a few things here and there on Squizz) and love the holy hell out of them. Music isn't a popularity contest, well, for me anyway.

But you've summed it up pretty well. Korn are one of the worst major bands (cos there will be worse but considering Korn are big it just make things worse) and is quite simply over rated.

I do like the first Korn album (until the end when he starts ****IN CRYING!!!) and I thought it sounded pretty nice. Of course, I was an idiot at the time thinking Nirvana was the greatest thing ever. (It was cool, but come on, I only went by what VH1 used to tell me. Thank Rob Halford for the internet).
I dont like it when people defend themselves with liking bands that get no radio play. Sure, radio is not a place to look for quality outside whats just ordinary, but sometimes, especially listening to these indie alternative, crap bands, I cant help myself but think "Of course they cant get on the radio. They suck".
Besides, what goes on radio is also dictated by chance. Whatever people will be into at said period of time, that goes on. So in the long run, it depends of how crazy people are in their normal lives what dictates what music is gonna be prevalent. Why is hip hop and pop music all you can hear in TV or radio? Because in this on the go world, active listening to music, or having music be really important in your life, just doesnt matter. No art matters. What matters is just get on with my job, and wait for death to release us from monotony and leading mediocre lives. We are world of sheep.

Being the very musically open person that I am... I decided to see when the **** korn is coming out with a new album since I heard them on the radio and its been a while
So I looked it up on wikipedia... found out the 1st single on it "Evolution"
and wtf? Worst korn song I've ever heard other than when they did MTV unplugged.........
I'm ok with some of their stuff but that was pretty bad for korn :/

Of Course, War is more important than art in our world. And our radio and television reflect that. Nothing sacred. Corporations dictate to you what you should and should not like, be it subliminally or otherwise.

Man, the forum rules strictly say no drinking whilst commenting. (yes I read them)
(No I didnt)
I mean, yeah, I listen to the first song off their first album, and it gets me going. But I wont worship them, and have no problem saying they suck. One good rythm and guitar strum doesnt make a band good. Also their lyrics, what they supposedly represent...its all bull.

Nope, I have musical taste, and even if you like the same bands as me, the fact you like Korn cancels it all out. You probably like Trivium - that just means ur not human and just plain stupid.
Well, sir, I'm here to make you happy....
I do not like Trivium.
Now do you like me? ;)
As for the comment on saying I like stuff that doesn't get radio play, if you go a few posts up, that's why I said it. And not everything, as you say, that doesn't get airplay is crap. I avoid local radio like the plague. Same ole same ole every hour. Variety is nice, so XM is the route for me. All kinds of "non-commercial" airplay there. Anyway, I'm done arguing here. Either you like KoRn or you don't. And at this point, I could care less what you like or don't like. :cool:

That song made me want to barf. It's so bad. How can people listen, it's so grating?

Therefore, I can pretty much guarentee you that the majority of the players will not be wanting Korn on the initial set list. Try backing up the band all you want... but admit that not EVERY band you like is suited to the game. It needs the wider appeal, Korn does not have it.
But Made In Mexico does?

Yh, I do think Korn are terrible and that youtube vid... pure rubbish. But about the dude ibanezbassist (haha ibanez...) anyway: I think yes we can was the only song that shouldn't have been in GH2, sure I didnt like can you hear me knocking but it was fun enough to play, and Yes We Can did suck. But Harmonix made one mistake for letting that minor band in. But Korn, a major band; Harmonix would REALLY have to cock up put that in...

not supposed to be witty. it was just me laughing that either you were given that guitar and can't get another or you made a bad choice... lets just say im not a fan of ibanez... the SG Bass is good for me atm

You obviously haven't had your hand on a good Ibanez bass then. Yes Ibanez may not be the best but when it comes to basses, they are near the top of the list. I don't know about guitars.
My Ibanez SRX 500 had more punch, more bottom end than just about any bass I've laid hands on. My top choice would be a Warwick Thumb Bolt-on, but I'm not going to spend a couple grand.

Ive played Ibanez bassists and they're just a bit.. basic. They sound like so many others. SG Bass is fantastic - though I'd love to have a go on some of Fender's basses but I spent all my money on the SG Bass...

I don't see where I said Made In Mexico was good. It was also a bonus track, and they were in the first one, and managed to be in the second game despite a wide bunch of people saying it was crap, which leads me to believe that they're being allowed in the game for reasons other than musical talent (i.e. could be friends of someone).
As for that Trivium song... some of the guitar wasn't "bad", I could listen to that... but someone shoot that frontman.
It's like some pop songs really... sometimes it'll have a good tune, but the singing annihilates anything that the music has done to make it even partially good.

We NEED Korn
- Alone I Break - Vocals
- Freak on a Leash - Guitar
- Got The Life - Drums
EDIT: Note to the people who dislike Korn. Nobody cares, we only want korn for ourselves, we're greedy like that. Honestly, if the list of Rock Band Music had half of songs you disliked and half you liked, would you really care that much about the ones you disliked, nobodies forcing you to buy them and play them.
RE-EDIT: Oh hell, just follow the leader.

I agree Korn Belongs in this a he77 of a lot more then the Garbage.
if it was Korn from the first album I would definately buy it. Depends on the song from alot of the other albums though. I don't like their newer stuff though.
