[EDIT] I would recommend playing the song as you read.


I love this song and I would love to see it in this game, and even though my preference in music purely opinion, its hard to look past this song because each element of the song(vocal, drums, guitar, bass)would be pretty difficult.

Also it is (IMO) the perfect length for the final encore because its longer than your normal song but its not stupid long like freebird. The thing I like about this song is that i think that more people might fail in the beginning rather than later in the song, which is very un-frustrating, because playing a wicked long song with a slow beginning to later fail towards the end sucks, alot (freebird).

[NOTE] I vote this song for a "full band" final encore, not a single instrument.

Vocals: I love the lyrics to this song and the vocals which is just my opinion, but im sure it would be pretty difficult to belt out all those high notes, and I think it would be a blast to sing this song. I'm one of the people who will NOT be singing in RockBand, but I would definitely be the singer for this song. The only thing bad about vocals is the lack of vocals in foreplay, but if you can be patient enough to wait for longtime, you'll be rewarded.

Drums: I don't know much about drums when it comes to hearing a drum track and figuring out if it would be difficult or not, but the drums in "foreplay" sound like they would be very very challenging. It sounds like 7:16 to 6:52 would be wicked hard.

Guitar: The guitar in foreplay is pretty decent but pretty much just chord progression, but longtime is where the guitarist gets to shine. Longtime starts out with a solo and never really gets boring throughout. 3:40 would be an awesome time to test out those "solo buttons"

Bass: Honestly, the bass in this song isn't really great at all, but then again bass isn't that great in rockband anyways, which is why they decided to let bassists get a 6x multiplier without starpower. But the little bass fill at 6:49 would be pretty fun to play.

Keyboard: If there was a keyboard controller for Rockband, and this song wasnt the final encore, I would kill 5 babies a day until they reissued rockband with an updated setlist.


So there, hopefully most of you will agree with me, especially the ones making the game, even though its probably way too late to persuade them to put it in. Hopefully this song will make its way onto the game somehow(on disc, or dl content) because i would love to play it with my friends and family.

Yes. I'm a fan of Boston, and I've suggested this song as a final encore before myself. It may not be the most chellenging song possible, but the final encore has never been the most challenging. The final encore is about being both challenging and memorable, and this song fits very well.

No, but I want it in the game, whether on the disc (although I'd prefer another Boston song) or as DLC (anybody who doesn't want the Boston self-titled album is somebody who doesn't deserve eardrums.)

While the person above me is correct, the final encore is never the most challenging, the final encore is still very challenging, while Foreplay/Long Time is pretty much fourth tier material.

i'd love to see Foreplay/Long Time in RB, final encore or not. I remember when they had the NASCAR Winston Cup commercials with this song in it, and I instantly fell in love with the song.

YES!!!!!!!!!
I've wanted this as final encore for so long!
I was just gonna post a thread about it but I saw yours.
And the bass is pretty decent considering the bass in some of the other songs.

If not Foreplay/ Long Time, I would love to see Rock n Roll band.

*sniff* I love you guys so much. *sniff*
*cries*

Unless of course you consider my rpg-earthbound thread.

Foreplay/Longtime would be my choice for the Final Encore or atleast in the final 5 or something.


Boston self-titled album for DLC definitely

I think the song sounds great for one of the higher up tiers. Not the final encore.. I'm sure theres a harder ang better suited song out there somewhere. I do have to say, this is a very good pick, one of the better few I've seen.

Considering I want the first 2 Boston albums for DLC, yes, it would be awesome.

Boston...as DLC...an album...would be amazing.


There's a good chance I would think since they've already had a song in a GH game. (GH1)
