If that was the actual setlist, I would pee-pee all over the walls.

[polishdog90]

This is actually a really good setlist. I like everything up to the 00s, but that would be because I dont like most music from the 00s.

I would suggest at least 1 Thrash metal song in the 80s. Probably metallica since they dont double bass and you could play the drum part.

The 60s and 70s bands you have is exactly what has been missing from guitar hero.

[cooldude93]

OMG THAT IS AWSOME I LOVE KEEP YOUR SELF ALIVE BY QUEEN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! the who ,the stones ,aerosmith,the beatles,zeppelin and hendrix are all cool too :D

[WingsOfSteel]

Yeah, good idea. I don't know many Metallica songs, but of the ones I know, Battery is my favorite.

[polishdog90]

Yeah, good idea. I don't know many Metallica songs, but of the ones I know, Battery is my favorite.

Pretty much anything from the Master Of Puppets album is good:
Battery
Master Of Puppets
Welcome Home (Sanitarium)

I wonder, do you think Rock Band is going to have bonus tracks?

[WingsOfSteel]

They have Freezepop, they will almost definitely have bonus tracks. I think hmxsean has confirmed it.

[Obnysalt]

Most of these tracks dive a little too deep into their respective bands catalogue to have the kind of name recognition that's needed to sell a game. It may be a well-constructed setlist but it wont be commercially successful.

P.S. You're lucky I like you enough to not just tell you that you failed and leave it at that.

Zeppelin, Beatles, Hendrix, Cream, Dylan, Stones, Rush - this is my favourite setlist yet.

But I have only one question.

Where's the Pink Floyd?

Even High Hopes.

[KingofQUEEN48]

keep your self alive is definatly not one of queens most popular songs(wasnt even on the 2 discs for there greatest hits) yet it would be awsome for that drum solo!

[Julio-Claudius]

Lolz Stairway wud b a bettr choice 4 a z3p song lolz.



:p

[WingsOfSteel]

Zeppelin, Beatles, Hendrix, Cream, Dylan, Stones, Rush - this is my favourite setlist yet.

Even High Hopes.

Good question. I'll add Have A Cigar to the 70s and take out.... I dunno, I guess Starship Trooper. Too bad, I'll miss Yes.

[GrayInvisible]

You should think of adding the band XTC to the 80s. It would be great for bass players, and great for everything else. It would add variety to the 80s list.

[Desensitized]

Oasis - Morning Glory
That's like my least favorite song from that album (next to 'Hello'). Champagne Supernova or anything off the first album would be much better.

[WingsOfSteel]

Yeah, Champagne Supernova is just awesome when it gets started.

And GrayInvisible, if you recommend a few songs (with YouTube links) I'll think about it.

YES THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!! SO I :cool: :cool: :D :rolleyes: GUESS IM NOT THE ONLY QUEEN FAN ON THE FORUM

[KingofQUEEN48]

um yea theres lots of queen fans

[A_Perfect_TOOL]

Wow, that actually is a pretty solid set list. Only band on it that I don't really dig, is Jimmy Eat World, but other than that, pretty sweet. I'd prolly pick some different songs from a few of those bands, can't stand the new Pumpkins disc, but I could definitely rock out to that set list.
