Anarchy Club, Bang Camaro, Freezepop, Acrobrats, Vagiant all in Rock Band

[masterx1918]

From Anarchy Club Myspace bullentin:

Greetings from the Anarcave, deep beneath the urban metropolis of Boston, MA. There's a lot to talk about, so I won't waste any time...

Our new cd E.P., "A Single Drop of Red" is being tightened up and polished as we speak, and will be out shortly after Halloween. It features four all new unreleased songs, "Collide" (from GH2), and six kick ass, tripped out remixes of songs from "The Way and its Power". We'll also be releasing it at a budget price (under $10 US). So the wait is almost over. Thank you all for your timeless support and endless patience...

Now to finally answer the OTHER big question I've been hearing a lot these days... Anarchy Club WILL NOT be featured in Guitar Hero 3. We WILL be in featured in Rock Band, however. Here's the story behind this-

I work for Harmonix, the company that created and made Guitar Hero, Guitar Hero 2, Guitar Hero 360, and the 80's Expansion Pack. The goal (and history of the company) is to make games that make music an interactive experience for gamers, and to make games and music more accessible. Before the GH series we did games like Amplitude and the Karaoke Revolution series.

After Red Octane, the publisher (the people who put a game out AFTER a developer MAKES the game) was bought by Activision, Red Octane and Harmonix parted ways, and Red Octane kept the name Guitar Hero. Shortly after, Harmonix was bought by MTV. This allowed us to have a substantially larger budget to work with, as well as access to all major and indie labels for obtaining original tracks and song rights.

With new doors open, Harmonix stepped forward on creating the game we'd always wanted to make, but didn't have the resources for. That game is Rock Band, a single player/ multiplayer game that allows the player/s to play guitar, drums, bass, or sing, either solo, or with friends in a virtual band. Having worked on this game for some time now, I assure you it will ROCK YOUR WORLD!!!

Anyway, as Red Octane and Harmonix were no longer collaborating (with Harmonix designing/ making GH, and Red Octane distributing it and making the guitars) , they moved the game development over to the Neversoft team, famous for the Tony Hawk games. They didn't ask any of the Harmonix bands back for GH3, either. So there'll be no Anarchy Club, Bang Camaro, Freezepop, Acrobrats, Vagiant, etc, on GH3. All of these bands, however, will be featured in Rock Band, and you'll be able to play ALL the musical parts, not just the guitars!! And it even has a Character Creator, so you can make your own personalized rockstar/ revolutionary/ bad ass.

To all of our fans who discovered us through the Guitar Hero games, we apologize that we're not on GH3, but we weren't invited. Hopefully we'll see you all online with Rock Band in late November when it comes out. The Anarchy Club song featured in Rock Band is a brand new one from our upcoming E.P. "A Single Drop of Red". I plan on taking the top scores on the leaderboards. And yes, that IS an open challenge...

Ever Chaotically Yours,

Keith

So Anarchy-A Single Drop of Red is in the game

Sweet! I love the songs in Guitar Hero from all these bands, I'll be looking forward to seeing what they bring to Rock Band. It should be good. Nice find! I'm super excited for the bonus songs now!

Dude, Xzyliac is gonna bring the Dethaxe down on your neck

[ThePaska]

Grim Ripper is the band with Marcus Henderson in it, if I'm not mistaken.

I would love some:

Shaimus

VAGIANT!!!!!! **** YES!!!! **** YES!!!!! **** YES!!!!!! **** YES!!!! ****ING VAGIANT MOTHER ****ER!!!! **** YES!!!!!

This is such an elegant, well written post that I decided it deserves to be on page 2 as well.:)

[Chris_Gonzalez]

"**** yeah!" does not even begin to cover the excitement. After my epic door-switching weekend, the season premiere of Heroes, the Reaper pilot, and this announcement, this is easily the greatest week ever.

[sa_nick]

Sweet!

And lol @ Activision not even trying to get them, they need they wouldn't succeed.

[Desensitized]

And:

Honest Bob and the Factory-to-Dealer Incentives
Count Zero
Grim Ripper
All That Remains
Made in Mexico (hey Farewell Myth owned)
Hell yeah.

But this news is kickass anyway! :D

[masterx1918]

hopefully the song in rock band for vagiant is better than FTK.

[Lateral]

I truly honestly enjoy playing Red Lottery and Yes We Can more than FTK. That song is beyond horrible in every way; I can't stand to listen to it for more than 10 seconds. It ticks me off every time it starts playing at the menu on GH2; I try to get to the setlist as fast as possible so I don't have to hear it. But I'm glad for Xzyliac's sake they are in the game; I'll just never play that song.

Definitely looking forward to Bang Camaro and Anarchy Club, though!

[Apples]

I liked FTK... and you can take this car and fill it up with lots of gas!

I sort of expected this type of annoucement in the works (especially with Freezepop confirmed), but it does not take away from the excitement of seeing it in a more semi-official manner. :cool:

[Magnet]

But I'm glad for Xzyliac's sake they are in the game; I'll just never play that song.

I can see you're willing to give everything a chance. :(

[WingsOfSteel]

Acro-brats, Hell Yes!

[Huwonk]

*crosses fingers for Honest Bob and Count Zero*

[stiper327b]

I'm pretty stoked about the Acrobrats announcement. Call Out and Laughtrack were some of my favorite songs in either game. Good good stuff.

Now, as previously mentioned, all we need are Honest Bob, Shaimus...and...wait for it...The Slip. Seriously, we can't have two straight Harmonix games without The Slip, can we? No, the answer is no, we can't.

[TheTogfather]

Now, as previously mentioned, all we need are Honest Bob, Shaimus...and...wait for it...The Slip. Seriously, we can't have two straight Harmonix games without The Slip, can we? No, the answer is no, we can't.

Agreed. Most definately need the Slip...maybe even as DLC or something...I want Even Rats in Rock Band!!!!

[mobhit101]

BANG CAMARO!!!!!! **** YES!!!! **** YES!!!!! **** YES!!!!!! **** YES!!!! ****ING BANG CAMARO MOTHER ****ER!!!! **** YES!!!!!


:D Theeeeeeeeere we go!

This actually brought a tear to my eye... So happy...


BANG BANG BANG BANG CAMAROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!







yay

Guitar Hero II and Guitar Hero Encore: Rocks the 80s says that we already had two straight Harmonix games without The Slip.

[Jimmik]

"**** yeah!" does not even begin to cover the excitement. After my epic door-switching weekend, the season premiere of Heroes, the Reaper pilot, and this announcement, this is easily the greatest week ever.

Heroes and Reaper, hellz yea! Of course this week will be soon overshadowed by the week RB actually comes out. Bwhahaha

[SmokaCola]

Nice man, I really like Anarchy Club a lot.

[stiper327b]

Guitar Hero II and Guitar Hero Encore: Rocks the 80s says that we already had two straight Harmonix games without The Slip.

Come on, there's no way you can count Rocks the 80s. I mean, technically, you're right. But there weren't any bonus songs of note on that release at all, and I don't care how much they charged for it, I'll never see it as anything other than an expansion. Fun expansion, but expansion nonetheless.

I still stand by my two release statement. Obviously I'm not on the steadiest of ground, but it's enough to suit my own needs.

[masterx1918]

Why the hell would the Slip be in Rock the 80s? They're not a band from the 80's. It's common sense as to why they and the rest of the Harmonix bands would be excluded from Rocks the 80s.

[Nitz13]

Awesome News but id also like to see a few others return as well,
mainly: Shadows Fall and All That Remains also Drist and was good too

[parastroke7]

VAGIANT!!!!!! **** YES!!!! **** YES!!!!! **** YES!!!!!! **** YES!!!! ****ING VAGIANT MOTHER ****ER!!!! **** YES!!!!!

Xzy, you gotta lay off of the Helen. It's gonna make ya crazy.

[Xzyliac]

Xzy, you gotta lay off of the Helen. It's gonna make ya crazy.

Dude I was born this way. It's called destiny.






Or karma.




Anywho Bang Camaro plays a close second as my favorite Harmonix band.

[Bakkster]

Dude I was born this way. It's called destiny.

Destiny is just stalker talk for "I'm creepy" ;)

[Terranova]

I wonder what Vagiant track HMX will use.. will it be something new or one of their previous tracks such as C***tease.. although they would have to clean up the lyrics some what like with FTK.

[PsycoCheerio]

So...20th I presume

[ThuDogFood]

I'm happy about Anarchy Club, Bang Camaro, and Freezepop. They all had awesome songs in GH2 (can't get "Push Push (Lady Lightning)"'s intro out of my head).

I couldn't care less about the other two. They didn't have bad music. Nah, but I just didn't really care for their tracks too much. To me, they were just more songs to get scores on.

[dethklok]

They should bring back Push Push (Lady Lighting), that song is awesome.

[TheRocker]

They should bring back Push Push (Lady Lighting), that song is awesome.

As a downloadable song yes , in the disc no no no

[cooldude93]

DIE!!!

You are a disgrace to little bastards the world over! You are unworthy of life you little turd sniffing maggot!

Oh and :p I kid as I (hope) you do.








Maggot.

[Xzyliac]

[cooldude93]

HAHA!

[masterx1918]

no that you called him a girl. It's not the first time.

[travmeatwad]

I don't know about anyone else, but I loved Radium Eyes.. Would love to see Count Zero return.

[cooldude93]

no that you called him a girl. It's not the first time.
Xzyliac is him??????????? but he has a girl on his avatar?well what ever it is it was the first person to ever acknowledge my excistance

[Xzyliac]

My avatar is my photography/Photoshop work.

I normally take pics of girls because most dudes suck at modeling.

[cooldude93]

gee Im soo sorry I had no idea. this is really embarassing for me

[Xzyliac]

gee Im soo sorry I had no idea. this is really embarassing for me

No worries. I find it really funny actually. Everybody does it. I take no offense to it whatsoever.

[Simonious]

ANARCHY CLUB! :D

I thought big letters were allowed... >_>

[Rock_Starman]

Awesome! I thought they had the best bonus songs in the first 2 games also Dirst but obviously they won't be back. FTK was one of my 3 overall favs in GH2 not just bonus. It's so fun to play. Hope we can get the uncensored one for download RB.

[Keebler]

Awesome! I thought they had the best bonus songs in the first 2 games also Dirst

Fred Durst?

[Kang_Zircon]

Fred Durst?

I think he means Fred Drist.

This announcement is cool. I can't wait to see what these bands have for this game.

I'm secretly hoping Made in Mexico will have some even crazier new song.

[Keebler]

I think he means Fred Drist.

Arterial Chocolate Starfish?

[Akaymay]

gee Im soo sorry I had no idea. this is really embarassing for me

For like, the first month I was here I thought he was a girl. Everyone does, it's hilarious. I eventually found out from his undying love for Helen, and the fact that he said at some point "I'm a dude who..." (I forget the rest) And I was all "O.O Huh??" So after that I put my avatar as myself, to avoid any gender confusion for myself.

[Bakkster]

Our song is going to be in RockBand!

Bang Camaro is once again teaming up with Harmonix! This time, our song "Pleasure (Pleasure)" is going to appear in their video game RockBand. Now, instead of just being able to play the guitar or bass parts, you'll be able to play drums or sing along with our 20 guy man-choir.

So, some of you have been asking if we're going to be in Guitar Hero III, and the answer is "no." You see, Harmonix developed Guitar Hero and Guitar Hero II before starting on RockBand, so they are no longer part of GH. They were cool enough to like what we were doing before, and are sticking with us for their new game. We couldn't be happier! The game will be out before long, so watch for it!

To celebrate, we just posted a live version of "Pleasure (Pleasure)" that was recorded the last time we were in Chicago. I think it sounds pretty good for a bunch of drunks all crammed onto a stage that was half the size of our practice space. Tell us what you think!

Get more info about the game at www.rockband.com

Off their MySpace site. Hells yes! You guitarrists will be happy with this one ;)

[Kaboobi]

Pleasure Pleasure is awesome to play on guitar, and singing the vocals actually works surprisingly well on the song.

[mobhit101]

Off their MySpace site. Hells yes! You guitarrists will be happy with this one ;)

Yep, I just crapped myself.

HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLY HELL YEAH BABY!!!!!!!!!!!:cool:


pleasure PLEASURRRRRE LET YOUR FEELINGS COME ALIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIVE!!!!!!


ROCK F@CKING ON *****ES!!!!!!!!

[HMX_Anarkeith]

For the record, The Anarchy Club song is not titled "A Single Drop of Red". That's the name of the E.P. we're putting out this fall. The in game song will be on the E.P. (which will be out a week or two before the game ships). We're keeping the song name in the game a secret... for now...
