Hannah Montana

[gillyy0]

Get some Hannah Montana up in this piece. Her music is perfect for rockband. It's got drums, guitar, and vocals.
One song is named rock star for heavens sake.
It wouldn't hurt anyone.

And this is a serious request.

[frizzy_bj]

I am going to have to pass.

Methinks this post was made in jest, although OP states it wasn't.

[Jixzer]

And this is a serious request.

And nothing personal, but you are about to get uber flamed. Just a warning.

[Beat100]

umm i don't know if music from a 10 year old really suits all the audience of rock band in all honesty, i restrained myself from putting down her music if it can be called that hahah... but yeaaaaa

[Icarus80]

If you thought the DLC was bad now,this wouldnt help the cause any.

Hannah Montana can die. I would rather force-feed myself my own eyeballs than have her in the game.

[Nightfallen]

To the OP... there is a huge Hannnah thread already on the boards.. try doing a search before posting.

Also as I have stated before, there are hundreds of thousands of parents who would snap this up for their kids in a heartbeat. It would out sell every DLC to date.

More money for HMX = More DLC for us. Its a no brainer really.

I am all for it, I might even download a song or two for my little sister.

Hahaha, yeah right.

Blood rains from the sky for 1000 years the day I aprove this message.

FTL!

What are you smoking?!

[Rock_Starman]

Yes!
That way maybe people will stop asking for new stuff. You want new stuff you get Hannah,Avril and Fallout Boy. Then people can just be all,well you can't complain you wanted new stuff. (But it outsells Metallica and everyone dies a little inside)

[Thagreatbrain]

Words escape me...

[Fatal_T]

Is this what you really want in Rock Band?!

Your little sister... right...

Anyways, if you're serious, Harmonix would be humiliated if that came out. Dumbest thing I've ever heard. I'm sure there'd be maybe .01&#37; of all DLC-purchasers who'd get it. And maybe another 2% for people who like to collect all the DLC for the sake of having them all. Besides, Fall Out Boy is bad enough...

I think this thread should just die, before we all blow our brains out from the gross music that is corrupting the youth of America. Thank you.

[Rockbandfan23467]

Hannah Montanna>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Made In Mexico. MiM has a full album comming, so Hannah would be an improvement on the week after that.

[KEWB]

I would pass up Hannah Montana DLC, officially ending my short run of having 100% DLC. I guess I'm not as much of a DLC whore as I thought I was.

[HeavyMetalKing]

GTFO troll. I'd support rap in rock band before I'd support Hannah Montana in rock band. And I'm rather against rap in rock band, which says something.

[Lanceres218]

I dont want that junk in Rockband. Her voice is terrible and she has doubles. I doubt its even her. Needless to say if we get that junk ima throw up. That would be the worst thing i think HMX could put in the game.

Wow...just...wow. For her to cover a KISS song...Isn't there some kind of law that prevents this travesty from happening?

Hannah Montana covering KISS= Fail
Hannah Montana DLC= Fail
Not laying my eyes on another HM video=win

JMO

[xxpigxx]

I would like some HM as well.

She has some good songs, and my daughter (who plays RB with me) would love it.

[Killbasa]

If you want songs you can play with your kids wait for HMX's next game.

Rock Band: The Kidz Bop Edition :D

[xxpigxx]

Actually, my daughter(s) like the songs in this game thank you. But unlike you, they like a broad swath of music.

Rock, R&B, Pop, Country, Tejano, etc.

Don't blame me or my daughters if you are an elitist

[Killbasa]

OOPS!

Somebody missed their nappy time!

Seriously... try getting a sense of humor before lashing out with insults.

I hope your raising your daughter to behave better than you do.

Hard to differentiate humor and seriousness on the internet. My apologies.

And do not concern yourself with how I raise my children, thank you.

[frizzy_bj]

I apologize, I should have chosen my words a little better in this thread. I may have come off as a snobby, *****y, person .

Hannah Montana is just not my family’s cup of tea. I will not say any more so as not to be labeled as an elitist. I respect everyone’s right to request that HM be in RB although I will not download it.

Thanks!:cool:

YEAH! WE ARE THE BIG BAD ELITISTS!

This music is derivative garbage and doesn't need to be in the game. End of story.

Oh, by the way, I do like a broad swath of music. On the playlist I am currently listening to I have several varieties of rock (Prog, Stoner, Industrial, Death Metal, ect.), Some Hip hop (El P, Saul Williams, MIA), Some electronic music (Archeture, Aphex Twin, MSTRKRFT), and some stuff that I won't really catagorize (Tom Waits, Johnny Cash, Foetus, Merzbow). Do not pull the "you have limited taste" **** on me.

Also, Tejano is awful.

[xxpigxx]

In your opinion ;)

I have stated mine.

Thank you for your time

[Nightfallen]

The defintition of elitist is to beleive you are better or opinions and beliefs are better and more valid then anyone else.

Anyone who comes on here bashing any band based solely on the argument "XXXXX SUCKS!" is just stating an opinion. To continually trash and insult other people requesting music and presenting your "opinion" as fact, is elitism. Weather you like it or not.

If you want to chime in a say "I think Hannah sucks! I wont buy it" by all mean its your right to do so, but personal insults and statements like "This music is derivative garbage and doesn't need to be in the game. End of story." which is portraying an "opinion" as fact only shows you are an elitist when it comes to music. You think only your music is worth anything and anyone else who beleives differently is just a moron.

So all you elitist music snobs who beleive there music preference is better then everyone elses need to grow up and learn to agree to disagree. You are not better then anyone else and niether is your musical taste.

I think I became more violent person having watched that...

Next she will cover Master of Puppets.

[HeavyMetalKing]

From a music theory standpoint her music sucks...just basic musical formula anyone can learn from the get go. That's referring to the music. As far as singing...again, she's nothing spectacular. There is nothing that sets her apart. She's a pop artist just like Britney, Christina, etc. and it's reflected in her lyrics and the way she sings. That's not elitism, that's fact. Following a formula is a double-edged sword: you have either played it safe and guaranteed success, or you blow it by putting out the same thing we've heard ten million times and no one really cares about you. There's a reason Hannah's fan base is limited to children. I think she'll go in a different direction with the music she puts out under her real name; that's the vibe I get (I have an eight year old sister, I know more about Hannah then I'd ever care to). But Hannah Montana's music is simple, play-it-safe, pad the sharp edges stuff that has no originality to it. And again, that's based upon everything I know of music theory, and the examination of said music theory in comparison to the examination of Hannah's music. It's the kind of stuff you'd expect a newly formed garage band to produce (in relation to the quality of the music anyway), not artists playing for a big named act like Hannah. And again, for her to be this big you'd expect there to be something special about her voice...there's not. But when you're daddy's a country star I guess it's easy to get your name out there. Especially when you don't have to worry about all that trivial stuff, like writing your own songs. And the fact that others write her songs is common knowledge; it's easy research to do if you don't believe me. As proof, here's my sister's copy of Hannah Montana 2 Meet Miley Cyrus sitting in front of me. It's 2 discs long. Disc one has NO songs written by Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus. On disc 2, which is supposed to be her separate from the Hannah image, she did COLLABORATE on a few, but still they weren't written solely by her, and the majority were still written by other artists. I have no respect for a musician who can't write their own music...actually at that point it makes you an entertainer in my eyes.

[Ajax730]

I'd tap that...oh wait she's like 15.....Damn

[HeavyMetalKing]

Yeah, and she sets such a wonderful example for her preteen fans...I know I want my children looking up to a 15 year old who poses topless in mags and posts pictures of herself in her underwear, flashing her bra, and laying in some guy's lap. Perfect role model there. [/sarcasm]

[Killbasa]

Not to defend HM/MC but there is a long tradition of singers working from a songbook of other artists works. Does the fact the Paul Anka (sp?) wrote a lot of Frank Sinatra's songs take away from him as a vocal artist? Composition and performance don't have to be linked! In the 'birth of rock-and-roll' era, it was rare that record companies would even let bands or singing groups record their own material. They were required by contract to sing other writers songs even if they could write their own.

Now before you flame-on... I'm not saying HM/MC is in the Chairman's league or anything like that, I'm just saying bashing her for not being a song writer is unfair. If you feel you need to bash her, do it for what she does.

Slam her all you want, she's still one of the top grossing acts in the world right now and one of the very view non-dinosaur acts that can consistently sell out 40,000+ seat arenas.

[HeavyMetalKing]

Selling out arenas <> good (that symbol means doesn't equal for you non-SQL folks). If she hadn't been turned into a Disney whore, she never would have been this big. And her tickets are outrageously priced! I looked at getting them for my sister as a Christmas present...it cost more for crappy seats at her concert than it did for me to have decent seats to see Journey and Def Leppard, and it was at the same arena! I'm sorry, but there's no way it should be cheaper to see Def Leppard than Hannah Montana (not that I'm complaining though...I like saving money). And I don't think it's unfair to bash her for not being a songwriter...while what you presented may have been true back in the day, we're now in the modern times where most artists write their own songs. It's easier to respect an artist who is willing to bear their soul to you through their own music than someone who is basically a puppet for someone else's words. And yeah, if HM was halfway decent I could overlook that fact, but there's nothing about her music or singing that makes her spectacular, so that combined with her lack of writing her own songs basically makes her overall nothing special in my book. The only thing special about her is that her father's a famous country singer.

[Nightfallen]

Music theory is bias in of itself. I know plenty of bands and songs that go againt music theory but still rock. I agree her music is simple, but simple doesn't nessacarily mean "Bad".

I would also agree she herself is not much a musician, having only colloborated on a few songs. Right now she is for the most part an entertainer. However as pointed out by the above poster, she fills 50000 seat stadiums every concert she puts out. Her circumstance is not really her fault either. Commercialism breeds this type of thing, you really can't expect a whole lot from a 15 year old to begin with. If it wasn't Hannah then it would be some other teen with a decent voice.

That being said IF she gets a DLC pack, because of those millions of screaming kids that will drive their parents batty to download these songs, this pack would out sell everything to date, weather you want to admit that or not.

This mean more ALOT more money in HMX pocket and more resources to licence and create more DLC that fits closer to your "Music theory".

Yes there are lots of people who wont download it on principle alone, however the are far more who will for there kids/siblings/friends.

The only reason I defend her in the game is because in the long run, with more resources at their disposal it should/would make the game better.

[Killbasa]

Its true her tickets are crazy. I was looking for Springsteen tickets on Stub Hub since the show was sold out. The best seats available where on the floor near the back for $850. HM tickets in the exact same section were over $2,000! Insane...


And to be clear... HM is not a rock star. She's a pop star! It's not the same thing. Her post Disney career (if she's lucky enough to have one) will not be making albums and touring, etc. It will be doing 2 show a night in Vegas ala Celine Dion singing from a songbook of standards.

If there's a big demand to get her stuff into a video game, it should be in a karaoke game.... not in a rock music game.

[HeavyMetalKing]

I beg to differ. I think Led Zeppelin or ACDC DLC would sell a lot better than Hannah Montana. And I think you give childrens' power of persuasion a little too much credit...not every parent would cave to everything their five year old wanted, much less a game that a five year old doesn't truly have the mechanics to play. I know I wouldn't cave for my sister...I'm not going to waste my money on something I won't enjoy playing. Perhaps that's selfish, but if she did chores and got an allowance and said "Here's 6 bucks. Download Hannah for me." Well then that would be a different story because it would be her money going towards it, and hence I'd lose nothing. But she doesn't do chores, and thus gets no allowance. And I know a lot of people who take the attitude of "I give everything to my kids. It's not much to ask for one or two things for myself." I'm sure there are a lot of parents who play Rock Band who see that as one of those things for themselves; you kind of lose that if you allow your kids to choose your DLC. That's just my opinion though. Honestly if I had to choose a teen group to have included, I'd rather see the Jonas Brothers. I dislike them too and I think their music is simplistic crap, but I think it's better simplistic crap than Hannah Montana. And for all those ready to tag people as elitists--notice how I used the word "think" to express my opinion.

[Nightfallen]

"Here's 6 bucks. Download Hannah for me." What if she bugs mom and dad and they hand you 6 bucks and say download hannah for your sister??? I think we just disagree on the how willing most parents are to placate there kids. This is the kind of stuff that during a chrsitmas season would dominate sales. Now add birthday gifts and every other holiday and special events for those tweens.

I there are 2-4 bands that might com close to outselling Hannah

Queen
ACDC
Guns and Roses
Nivana


Thats about it. Led Zepplin was big but I don't think nearly as big as those four in a broad spectrum. I amyself am not a GnR fan but I know they have a massive following. Nivana has almost achieved legend status among every genereation. I think they are over hypered myself but they did change the face of music during their time. Queen is one of the greatest bands ever assembled. ACDC also were trend setters in the day and brought a new style to the music scene.

Hannah is nowhere close to the talent of the above bands but in shear numbers more popular then all of them. That is why she would still probably out sell her DLC.

[Killbasa]

Interesting side note...

Although my niece (5th grader) still watches the show, since getting into GHIII and RB she doesn't listen to HM music anymore. She listens to songs from the game other songs by the artists she likes in them. Her favorite is Mississippi Queen!

So there's hope for the next generation. :D

[Nightfallen]

I would like to point out that the past exchange with Heavymetalking has been both pleasant and engaging. No insults were thrown and music and game were "discussed" and not pissing matches. I wish everyone would follow your example heavymetal and engage in regular conversation instead of "d!ck measuring contests".

Kudos to you Heavymetalking!

[HeavyMetalKing]

Here's the thing though: I'm (almost) 21, and it's just me, my mom, and my half-sister. My step-father died four years ago...I'm involved with my bio father, but not on a daily basis. My mom respects the fact that I'm an adult, and does not force me to placate my sister. There have been plenty of times my sister wanted to go somewhere with me and I told her no. She screamed and cried to my mother, she told my sister that I said no so the answer was no, and when my sister continued to scream and cry my mother disciplined her. My mother respects the fact that I am an adult and capable of making my own decision, and she does not believe in giving your kid everything they want. If my sister wants something reasonable (outside of birthdays or holidays) my mom will work out a deal with her (no bad notes in school for a week or 2 weeks and I'll get it for you). But on the same token my mother would not expect me to use my system or my game that came out of my personal funds as part of the deal. If I were to tell my sister no, my mother would back me up on that.

Hell, my mom bought me my Wii as a Christmas gift, and my sister's wanted me to get games on it that she wanted (specifically the High School Musical game); I told her no. My mother told her "it's his Wii, if he doesn't want that game for it then it's his decision" before. So I can say without a shadow of a doubt that she wouldn't try forcing me to placate my sister with Hannah Montana DLC should it ever come about. And honestly I don't think she is more popular in sheer numbers than those bands you've listed, or any of the classic rock/metal bands for that matter. I think you underestimate the amount of players from the older generations who would love to play along to songs they grew up with. And a lot of teenagers in today's generation are still listening to Led Zep, ACDC, Maiden, etc etc. I don't think the preteen population that likes Hannah outnumbers the older generations and older teens/young adults who are into the classic bands.

As far as parents placating their kids, that's the problem with America: people would rather shut their kids up by giving them what they want, rather than dealing with them.

I just saw your other post Nightfallen, and thank you for that. The way I see it is that I'm here to defend my point against Hannah Montana. It doesn't make you a bad person or anything for defending her in the game, so there's no sane reason to attack you or anyone else supporting her. It's a debate and nothing more (let's not drag political debates into this...we all know deep down politicians are like five year olds). We each defend our own sides with our own points, the only difference is there's no judge to declare a "winner" in this case, although I don't believe in winners when it comes to opinions. But I've never understood attacking someone on the internet, or anywhere really, for stating their opinion.

TL;DR: I don't have to worry about my mom forcing me to buy HM DLC for my sister, and thank you Nightfallen for the acknowledgement. The same kudos go to you, because I'm sure there are others on these forums that would call me an elitist a-hole for my opinions.

[grimblue]

think about it a Rock Star is one person
a Rock Band is more than one person a team

thats why Boston's Rock and Roll Band is on Rock Band
and Rock star is not

[HeavyMetalKing]

Well, technically even a rock star needs a band to back them...although Hannah would be better classified as a pop star. I'm not sure if you're saying that you're a rock star if the band's name is your name, but if that's the case I have to disagree. I would still refer to Peter Frampton as a rock band because all of the members contribute to the song writing process and the band, not just Frampton, and he gives ample credit. If that's not what you're trying to say, then I'm sorry.

As much as I dislike Hannah, she too needs a band to back her to play music. Granted they probably get no credit during her shows, but they still provide the music. I think it's impossible to be a rock star by your definition, because the only way to have music without a band is to have a recording, and I think that automatically puts you in the pop or rap group (depending, obviously, on which genre you're referring to at that point).

[Nightfallen]

Well kudos to your mom for resepcting your privacy and property. I wish more parents were like her. I am 31 and have been out of my house for quite some time, but my parents did adopt a little girl and I would probably buy HM songs for when she comes over to play. I beleive there are lots of people who would buy it for positive reasons too.

Unfortuantely most parents are not like yours. They buy the game consols for "both kids" and they have to share, so when one says I want this, the other saying no isn't a factor. You are old enough you don't have to deal with that.

As for fan base numbers, I guess I should be more specific, the total number of fans world wide would be a close race. However fans who also play video games? I beleive Hannah wins by a large margin in that regard.

I agree that parents shouldn't use video games as babysitters, but the sad fact is they do. But thats a whole other discussion. Because they do, HM DLC would sell like hot cakes.

[Nightfallen]

Yeah, someone IS playing instruments at those Hannah concerts, and I doubt they get hardly any credit for their services. That is probably another reason why the music is kept simple. If one guy/girl quits another can eaily learn the songs and replace them.

[HeavyMetalKing]

I guess in the long run it comes down to the age old forum argument "don't like it, then don't buy it". I mean, I'm sure a lot of people would say I'm an ass for being unwilling to download HM for my sister, but she's also the kind of kid who loses interest in something really quick. Example, when RB first came out she wanted to beat on the drums in practice mode at 50&#37; speed. Never wanted to play the actual game, just practice. She did this twice, got bored, and hasn't asked to play since. I'm honestly suprised she's still interested in HM, although she's started asking for copies of my Coheed CDs (which I'm sure my mom will love...) as well as some of my metal cds. I don't believe in forcing my musical tastes on someone, she made those decisions by herself from willingly listening to the music with me. Now I might argue with someone why I think a particular band is better than another band, but I don't believe in pulling the "Ew, you like ____ you're t3h gh3yest f4gg0t every! _______ rulez your nutz!" And pardon me for my fecicious use of poor internet lingo, I just find it amusing. I mean, I hate Fallout Boy. I'm vocal about my dislike for them, but on the same token one of my friends is in love with them and I never tell her she shouldn't listen to them, even in jest. Everyone has the right to an opinion.

I could never play for an act like that. If I write something, I want it to mean something and I want credit for my work. Maybe that too is selfish, but I work hard at the things I do and I like to be recognized for what I do. I'm also a novelist though...we can be snobs about our work, I'll admit it. Well okay, maybe I'm a little premature in calling myself a novelist, but I'm sure you'll be seeing books by me on the shelves in the not so distant future. That's my dream anyway. I'm also a musician, but I decided to keep that as my hobby. Writing is my strong point, playing the guitar requires a lot more effort for me.

[instantdeath999]

I just think it's almost an insult to the game "rock band" to include something like Hannah Montana. Yeah, I guess that is a biased statement. I mean, we have Fallout Boy, and rap has been brought up by a HMX member before.

As for her selling a lot... well, I guess that could be true. But really, the demographic for Rock Band, only guessing, would most likely be 13+, correct? If that is so, then I doubt she would sell as much as you say, since the majority probably lose interest around that age.

But then, like Heavymetalkings sister, I'm sure there will be many who force the owner of the game to buy them, play them once, and be done with it.

[Killbasa]

Yeah, someone IS playing instruments at those Hannah concerts, and I doubt they get hardly any credit for their services. That is probably another reason why the music is kept simple. If one guy/girl quits another can eaily learn the songs and replace them.

Actually.... someone is pretending to play them. Some one once played them in the recording studio but the show is tracked. The 'live players' can come and go as need be... it's all smoke and mirrors! The WWF is more real than these shows.

[HeavyMetalKing]

Well, like I said, in my case I wouldn't be forced into buying anything. I do let my sister play my systems with me if she wants to, but she knows that they're my systems and she is not to touch them without my permission. I am very protective of my stuff, because when I can afford something nice on the crap salary I make working retail part time while going to college I want to protect my investments. On the same token, I'm not wasting money or HDD space for songs I have no interest in playing and that will only get played once or twice on fifty percent speed in practice mode.

EDIT: And holy crap, it's almost 3 a.m. here. I still need to take a shower and then hop in bed so that I can be up at 7:30 to drop my sister at the sitter's (I make a little pocket money from my mom for this little errand...every dollar counts now that I owned money on taxes) only to come back, sleep for a couple more hours before going to work at 11. I'm gonna hate myself in the morning. Nightfallen, thanks for convo, it's been fun! I'll catch you around sometime. If you have a PS3, feel free to add me: CoheedKilgannon

[Fred G. Sanford]

I'd actually rather play hannah montana then some of the stuff already in the game,seriously :)

[Nightfallen]

Yeah it is getting late for me as well. Good night and maybe Ill see you on PS3 online.

Heh sad thing is that except for downloading songs and updates I don't get online much I don't think I rememeber by PSN id heheh

[xxpigxx]

Well, my oldest daughter plays with me regularly. She is 10.

My other two (ages 4 and 5) only want to sing the girl songs . . . the most popular being Roam and Still Alive (they call them the hip to hip song and the cake song :D)

The game is not a babysitter. It is a way to spend some quality time with my girls.

I would gladly buy HM or tJB if they were ever up for DLC. WHy? It would make our quality time spent together playing games that much more enjoyable for my girls.

[MistressD]

You're serious?! I don't know whether to laugh, cry or vomit...

[TooManyDinners]

im in, make it work

[mustang]

Sorry, but I cant see my friends or my family singing this stuff. I will pass.
I find it rather annoying. just seeing it available for DLC would be really annoying, and quite frustrating for it would take up space. Now lets request ROCK.
There are alot better female bands out there like

Evanescence
B52's
No Doubt/ Gwen Stefani
Cranberries
Linda Ronstadt
Sheryl Crow
Shania Twain

These Bands are alot better and more known then this, and in My OPINION is far better.

I can't believe this thread is still around, lol.

[g011um]

These Bands are alot better and more known then this, and in My OPINION is far better.

More known to whom? You or my 5 1/2 year old daughter who is desperate to play RB with the rest of the family. She finds the drums and guitar too hard but loves singing. Sadly her reading skills aren't good enough to let her sing very well either. She's picked up some of the Garbage track, and loves "Still Alive", but some more recent kid-friendly tracks (Fergie, Hannah Montana, High School Musical, Avril Lavigne) would be awesome.

And the best part about DLC is that all you haters don't have to buy it. While I may not play that stuff myself when my kids aren't around, I'd buy it all for those occasions when we do play together as a family.

HANNAH MONTANA SUCKS.

id prob stop playing rockband if they added her garbage AKA music

[instantdeath999]

I guess Hannah Montana has a place in this game... I am 15, which probably makes me a bit biased, because I don't have children. I don't think she is very big on musical talent, but she appeals to people, and that is definitely somebodies talent at work (if not hers, since she doesn't writer her own songs).

Go11um makes a very good point. Obviously, you don't want your daughter screaming to "Blinded by Fear", repeating "Justice is raped", or even repeating the chorus to "This aint a scene, it's an arm race". And I don't have to buy it, like countless others have stated.

Hannah Montana, The Naked Brothers Band (I hate this particular band with a passion)... I guess it all deserves a place.

[KEFIOX]

I will have to agree with the majority here. Hannah Montana is rubbish! She has absolutely no talent whatsoever. Regardless of how many concerts she sells out, or how much the tickets for said concert cost, it just goes to show that the majority of this generation (10-15 year old girls) have a terrible taste in music... if you can call it that. Now don't get me wrong I'm sure that if I had daughters who listened to that rubbish, I'd download it for them but that's just not the case. At any rate I would only be opposed to seeing Hannah Montana in RB because it just means that there was something better that hasn't gotten in because of her.

[skimpy]

Get some Hannah Montana up in this piece. Her music is perfect for rockband. It's got drums, guitar, and vocals.
One song is named rock star for heavens sake.
It wouldn't hurt anyone.

And this is a serious request.

you just made me throw up a little in my mouth

Shes barely a musician... more of an entertainer, I guess.

I alway get a huge kick and laugh at these posts, HMX knows they wont stop playing the game if HM is released as DLC. Its a total idle threat however they feel they can manipulate HMX with these silly statements.

You know you wont stop.

I know you wont stop.

Posters know you wont stop.

HMX knows you wont stop.

If you enjoy the game you are going to replay regardles what DLC is available. Heheh, ok I can't stop laughing now.

[billman3000]

hannah montana would ruin the dlc even more

[KristKp]

People are saying that this song would outsell songs by popular Rock acts such as Metallica, AC DC, Led Zeppelin and Iron Maiden. But I don't find your grounds for reasoning logical seeing as the games key demographic and actual known market is mainly teenagers (hence the rating) to adults who prefer Rock music. You look at the DLC statistics and you notice a trend:

The bands that sell the most in no particular order:

Metallica, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Weezer, All American Rejects, Blink 182, Oasis, Boston, David Bowie and Lynyrd Skynyrd.

This shows that (with an exception) that it is mostly the bands with a Rock n' Roll image that gain the consumers' attention.

The bands that have the most available tracks:

Metallica, Black Sabboth, The Clash, QOTSA, Smashing Pumpkins, Oasis, Stone Temple Pilots, The Greatful Dead, Boston, Judas Priest and The Police.

This shows that Harmonix chooses bands with, also, a high Rock n' Roll image, and a heavier (or alternative) sound.

In my humble opinion - I believe that any band on this list would be able to outsell any "Disney" related popstar that for some insane reason gets added to the DLC list.

[Libertad87]

I would love some Hannah DLC. I could probably get my little sister to pay for them.

[Alright_Computer]

think about it a Rock Star is one person
a Rock Band is more than one person a team

thats why Boston's Rock and Roll Band is on Rock Band
and Rock star is not

Yeah, but what about Oasis's Rock N Roll Star, coming out as the European DLC later this month?

Song titles are really crappy ways to judge bands.

BTW I am strongly against Hannah Montana in RB. Just thought I'd say how stupid the song title argument was.

[Fatal_T]

Wow...just...wow. For her to cover a KISS song...Isn't there some kind of law that prevents this travesty from happening?

Hannah Montana covering KISS= Fail
Hannah Montana DLC= Fail
Not laying my eyes on another HM video=win

JMO

A woman after my own heart! ;)

I said something similar earlier.

[SPARTANofS7RIFE]

I hope this thread is a joke...

My answer is going to have to be No to Hannah Montana.

[Nightfallen]

See the thing with the Hannah demographic is that is mobs everything her name touches.

SHe puts out a t-shirts and they sell by the millions she puts out backbacks they by the millions she puts out fishing rods they sell by the millions. THe point is that anything associated with her WILL sell and sell big.

You don't have to like the commerialism of it, or the fact that she is a prebuilt entertainer. All that needs to be realized is the money HMX will rake in by doing it. I will say it again more money for HMX mean more DLC for us. It really has nothing to do with "liking" Hannah or not. Marketing wise its pure genius, and anything that potentially makes Harmonix better is a good thing in my book.

[Grimmjow]

Blood rains from the sky for 1000 years the day I aprove this message.

your wrong.... it will have to rain my own blood for 1000's of years before i dl Hanna Montana... and as for the jackass who thinks it would outsell Metallica. You sir or ma'am you are daft and should get your brain scanned. Yes parents would buy it for kids... i guess but i was under the impression that most people who shelled out 180 bucks were actual music fans. Im sorry i really am i told myself i wouldnt flame but i cant help it.... for God's sake she did the worst and most obvious costume change in history which makes her just as bad as hilary duff and would you accept her into this game? i didnt think so.

[LankanLatino]

Blood rains from the sky for 1000 years the day I aprove this message.


hahaha excellent response my good chum

[Nightfallen]

Ahh yes, more elitist morons who think they know everything and only their music is valid. CHeck my post a few pages back for the definition of elisitist .. yes you do fit that definition.

All of you flamers and people who cry so loud fail to see the big picture. In words maybe you can understand

You = EPIC FAIL!

There I decided 3rd grade insults would be a better way of getting through to your narrowminded skulls.

Now once again this is simple common sense business practice, something some of you probably don't understand so i will explain it one more time.

Hannah WILL make HMX tons of money, the fact that she sells out stadiums with tickets that are MORE expensive then normal concerts mean parents are willing to shell out the money.

More money for HMX mean more licencing and more DLC in the future for us. Ok one more time repeat after me

More money for Harmonix = more DLC for us in the future.

Very good class.

I could give a rats ass weather you like her songs or not, you all are so dead set on being "cool" you will always fail to see the bigger picture.

For those who have just disagreed that she would sell, thats fine, we can discuss that point with out the 3rd grade insults. For the rest, one more time say it with me

More money for HMX = More DLC for US.

Now if you do really well I will hand out smily stickers for those who get it on the second try.

[an1m051ty]

And nothing personal, but you are about to get uber flamed. Just a warning.

I'll take you up on that.

What in SAM HILL ARE YOU THINKING. This isn't SINGSTAR, or DISNEY BAND for god's sake.

Lol, that was mainly sarcasm, but, in all reality, I would lose a lot of respect if they did a Hannah Montana pack. I'd probably give up on it. Its just, the kind of stuff you really don't want in this game. Unless you want everyone to lose what respect they have for rock band besides yourself.

[instantdeath999]

I understand that everything Hannah touches turns to gold... but imagine Hannah Montana shirts sold at, say, a Metallica concert. It would most likely not sell, and people would get ripped to pieces for wearing one.

It's similar here. Unless they have some big thing in the news ("Rock Band has Hannah Montana!", most kids will not even know... and then, I doubt parents will pay $200 for a "silly video game". The demographic for Rock Band is teenager and above, and the fact that the Metallica pack is the best selling pack, both make me think that Hannah would be a commercial flop on Rock Band. Maybe make an entire game to her... that would sell like freaking hot cakes.

I also think that, here, it is less the kids, but more the rock band players willing to buy their kids HM content. I would like to know the percentage of Rock Band players with children... that might be a huge deciding factor.

[DarkHeartsDie]

i just threw up really bad after reading that then laughed til i fell over on the floor where apparently a spiders eggs just hatched and hundreds of spiders just busted out and ran out, so i had to run straight to the bathroom to shower them off, then grabbed bug spray and sprayed them all dead, all because someone wants hannah montana o_O sorry man, i have nothing against you but why hannah montana?

[g011um]

Thanks for the incoherent ramble DarkHeart. That added a considerable amount to the discussion. I'll assume its the LSD talking, in which case the spiders weren't real.

Anyway.... the point is probably moot as Disney is releasing their own rhythm game for the Wii (Ultimate Band) so the chances of them licensing any content (like Hannah Montana, Jonas Brothers, etc etc) for other games is probably very very small.

[Nightfallen]

I didn't know that, yeah if they are coming out with there own game then yeah, it lessens the chances they would licence it to any other game.

See there are points that can be made that don't include acting like your 10 throwing a hissy fit.

[Kaze_Raven]

It would be quite bad....if we had to say Rock Band "Sold Out"....and thats exactly what we'd have to say if they added HM to its DLC. Besides, shes getting her own Damn game....why in gods name would we ever want DLC, just buy the game and leave it miles away, as it has been, from Rock Band.
Whats next, High School Musical DLC requests? Britney Spears? N'Sync? Back Street Boys? Spice Girls? Cheetah Girls? Eww.....Please god realize I say this only to reject these concepts and ignite them in the firey pits of music hell!

[Fatal_T]

Wow, this thread is still going.

For those that apparently "NEED" to have Hannah Montana gaming experiences, why not go purchase a Wii and the Hannah game that is already available. I'm sure you can get your groove on that way, and leave the serious rock and roll to those who want it.

[MrHartgrave]

[hydride86]

People are really not into, I at this point in my life wouldn't purchase any Hannah Montanna songs, but I think there is a lack of stuff parent's can use to play with there kids here... I've had my niece over to play rockband, she's 7 and doesn't know any of the tracks on the game... She'd be crazy for some hannah montanna...

Good call

[xerichx07]

OMG, this thread is seriously amazing, with all the fights going on at once.

#1 rule: If you don't like it DON'T EFFIN' BUY IT

#2 rule:Your opinion doesn't count unless you point out logical reasons, many people are just saying Hannah Montannah sucks.

OK, I'll give you reasons why I think Hannah/Miley shouldn't be in this game.

1. Someone else writes her lyrics
2. She's a Disney Coporate Whore, do you think she honestly puts any emotion into her songs?
3. Total fake, i.e. naked photo shoots
4. Ruins songs w/covers (KISS)
5. Pusedo-Rock N' Roll Band
6. Music for 5-10 year old girls
7. "bandmates" don't get any credit.
8. Can't tell if their instruments are even being played at live shows.
9. Bad singer
10. Not even an artist, more of an entertainer

and finally...

11. She's using her dad, who is a country music star, in order to get her everywhere. If it wasn't for her dad, she would be nowhere, and wouldn't be even born, but I've never heard her credit her father in interviews, selfish SOB ain't she?

Time to get flamed, I better call the fire department.

[Fatal_T]

Good call

Well, my daughter is 5. She knew some songs just from riding around in the car with me, others she's heard me play in-game. Every now and then, the wife and I will let her get on the microphone, and she'll sing some songs while we play. She likes Crushcrushcrush, Calling Dr. Love, Cherry Bomb, Call Me, Action, Sprode, Brass In Pocket, Should I Stay Or Should I Go, and one time got through Run To The Hills with a 64% (I almost failed that time since I was paying more attention to watching her sing, LOL). She's also done Highway Star and maybe a couple of others she just wanted to try.

Does she know all the words? Not even close. The ones she knows she tends to sing loudest, while the rest sort of fade into gibberish and ad-libbing (I sometimes have to remind her to "sing" louder so she won't fail).

In short, there are songs on Rock Band that kids can enjoy, even though the game is not oriented towards them. Yes, if Hannah Montana somehow had DLC, I'm sure I would buy it for my girl because it would she would love it - but...Hannah Montana is not really appropriate for Rock Band.

Just my $.02.

[Redonkulous]

I think I became more violent person having watched that...

Next she will cover Master of Puppets.

Um... Win.

[Warrior_Bade]

If HM was put on Rock Band when it arrives it may look something like this...

This proves my theory in spades. Even if she isn't that interesting to play for the adults, they would still buy it for the kids.

More Money for HMX = More DLC for us.

oh and xerichx07 all those point you made are masicly long winded version of Hannah sucks!!

You could say she wont chart well, or her chart are too simple and would be boring to play you could say in a few song they have more then one guitar and it would be impossible to chart.. logical reasons. BUt I am sorry her status as just an entertainer isn't Logical" its just biased

But they've got 10,000,000-plus downloads already. Do they really need Hannah Montana? Ten bucks says if "Crazy Train" was announced as DLC, it would make much more than Hannah Montana.

^^ Agree

But if a DLC song comes out and it shows Miley Cyris stripping on stage while playing one of her songs then ill buy it.

i am with you

[xxpigxx]

1. Someone else writes her lyrics

Elton John did not write most of his lyrics . . . one of the best pop-rockers of all time . . .


2. She's a Disney Coporate Whore, do you think she honestly puts any emotion into her songs?

The same could be said of any band that is signed to a label . .


3. Total fake, i.e. naked photo shoots

So was KISS . . .


4. Ruins songs w/covers (KISS)

Orgy did a good cover. Dope did a good cover. Aaron Lewis does awesome covers. Pearl Jam did a cover. Should I go on?


5. Pusedo-Rock N' Roll Band

They play rock music, do they not?


6. Music for 5-10 year old girls

And then? Kids like music (and games) as well . . .


7. "bandmates" don't get any credit.

Welcome to the real world. The frontman gets the credit most of the time . . .


8. Can't tell if their instruments are even being played at live shows.

Does it matter?


9. Bad singer

That is your opinion. Please do not use it as a fact . . .


10. Not even an artist, more of an entertainer

lol Marilyn Manson . . . KISS . . . Lordi . . . etc. And do rock bands entertain you, so therefore they are all entertainers!

and finally...


11. She's using her dad, who is a country music star, in order to get her everywhere. If it wasn't for her dad, she would be nowhere, and wouldn't be even born, but I've never heard her credit her father in interviews, selfish SOB ain't she?

As did the Wallflowers?

[danactionforce]

Why not? with GH4 coming out Harmonix should try to do as much as they can to get a bigger playing field...and with the addition of Hannah Montanna it can only help. Then again all those who appose don't have to download it ...its just there.

[goaliejack13]

HAHAHA!!!!!
no

[Darth Swifty]

umm i don't know if music from a 10 year old really suits all the audience of rock band in all honesty, i restrained myself from putting down her music if it can be called that hahah... but yeaaaaa

Ummm, #1 she is like 15/16

and #2 - There are plaenty of Children/Young Adults who play this game.

My daughters (12 & 14) would love to play some Hannah Montana.

If you don't like it, you don't have to buy it. It's that Simple.

Why do people feel the need to come into threads of bands/artisits they don't like and complain? I mean seriously, If you don't like it, don't click the thread :confused:

There is plenty of DLC that I do not care for, I just don't buy it.

You can't please all of the people all of the time.

Pop rock is still rock

[alicethesister]

I was told in the IRC that Konami has the rights to the Disney characters for music games, or something.

Hannah Montana's kinda a guilty pleasure of mine. Started as a joke at work, then I wondered what the fuss was about. So yeah anyways.

In all honesty, I don't think she really fits in Rock Band. However, if you were to have her in there, I think a "Kids pack" should be in order. Incorporating other teen-music sensations and such. Rock Band is touted as a social game, and as a game for everyone to enjoy, so why not have a kids pack? You might be surprised how well it does.

[zzbottom02]

Most music does, why isn't it in rock band?

The day HMX wastes a DLC week for crap like Hannah Montana is the day I sell RB and buy GH. But hey, most of the DLC is so bad it would probably fit in just fine.

Seriously though, if you want Hannah Montana, go watch it on Disney Channel or something, it doesn't belong here.

[HeavyMetalKing]

Why is this thread still alive? All it has managed to do is breed anger and hatred, when we should all be coming together for the love of ROCK!!!! \m/

[alexc]

Interesting side note...

Although my niece (5th grader) still watches the show, since getting into GHIII and RB she doesn't listen to HM music anymore. She listens to songs from the game other songs by the artists she likes in them. Her favorite is Mississippi Queen!

So there's hope for the next generation. :D

Funnily enough - that's what i thought when looking round HMV yesterday. ACDC, G&R, Rainbow, Genesis etc etc flying off the shelves; Miley Cyrus staying resolutely ON them...

.. while Heat of the Moment was blasting out of the PA...
.. kids mangling Don't Fear the Reaper on the Rock band display point...

Personally, I wish Bill Hicks had got that programme back in 1994...

Yay! Hannah Montana! <3

Lol.

[deadendchris]

Ok well here is my reason for H.M to not be in rock band is that she is not that good at what she does here songs suck major ass...I am glad that for the children who watch her show that she atleast sings about postive things at this point but lets face facts when she hits 18 if not sooner that will be all out the window..My little girl plays rock band with us and I ask her if she would like H.M in rock band and she said no because she didnt think it should be here...She watch's the show and buys H.M crap like every other little girl for the most part does but she enjoys that away from other things she like's..

Which made me a proud father that my little girl knows how to seperate things from one another..She is a music fan she likes Nirvana and many other bands I could go on all night and she likes H.M but she likes it as a show...I guess if HMX wanted to put it in they would but I feel it would be a waste of space but then again I just wouldnt waste money on it so there ya go...

But as far as my view on it Hannah Montana is not a very good singer her songs do not appeal to me but im also not a 4-10 year old girl so I guess there not suppose to and top it off with her dad is a total waste of time and wasted many hours of t.v back in the 90's with his so called songs such as but not limited to apappy crappy heart..

[pb22pb]

Hannah Montana songs would be a nice addition to the Rock Band song list. :o

[Lone Bulldogs]

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

[YoshiMan10]

....

[char99bok]

I just had to post and add my two cents:

I was lurking around on this forum, looking for possible new DLC (since I'm not a fan of most of the DLC), and I think so many posts in this thread are really embarrassing. Everyone has their own taste in music, and screaming "HANNAH MONTANA SUCKS!!!!!1" does not make anyone look impressive. I understand people get annoyed with the commercialism of Hannah Montana and how she is exploited by Disney, but seriously, have respect for other people's tastes. I think a lot of your taste in music sucks (anything made pre-1990's is godawful in my book), but that's just my opinion.

As for me, I'm an 18-year-old guy and I love Miley Cyrus. I don't know if she'd fit in with the rest of Rock Band's music, but if she was released as DLC, I'd buy her for sure. "See You Again" is an amazing song. You don't need to be a little girl to like Miley/Hannah, and a lot of people probably DO like her, but are embarrassed/afraid to admit it, so they hide behind a "I HATE HANNAH" facade.

[GNFfhqwhgads]

Look. Logic can prove Hannah Montana will never be in Rock Band.


Hannah Montana is part of Disney.

Disney competes with Nickelodeon.

Nickelodeon is owned by Viacom.

Viacom owns Harmonix.

Harmonix makes Rock Band.

Any Hannah Montana DLC would basically be Viacom promoting their competition.

[Evilkittyz]

Oh god the horror

[vaccine]

7 things deserves to be in rock band

[SenorLarry]

No. Just... no. I don't want that kind of stupid pop music. I just can't stand it! Hannah Montana is meant for 7- or 8-year-old girls. Rock Band's target audience is around 12/13+ (and mostly guys who like rock).

[Young Claybert]

Ah, I was hoping no one would bring this up, so I could. ;)

That's why we got Naked Brothers Band and Miranda Cosgrove; they're effectively free to Viacom and promote their music to kids. Hannah Montana songs in Rock Band would be tantamount to paying Disney hundreds of thousands of dollars to advertise their product.

[maxiemusic]

We definitely need some Hannah Montana or Miley Cyrus songs.
Just listen to them! The drums and guitar are pretty difficult on most songs. Also, the vocals would be fun.

Please make some DLC!!!

You don't actually believe that, do you?

[kibblesand123]

actually we did almost get it.

im serious. not from youtube lol but i have sources

[LuigiD]

No. Just... no. I don't want that kind of stupid pop music. I just can't stand it! Hannah Montana is meant for 7- or 8-year-old girls. Rock Band's target audience is around 12/13+ (and mostly guys who like rock). Finally, someone who understands

[Samman20]

You would get some much crap for buying a Hannah Montana DLC

[kibblesand123]

lol and wut music would you think should be on this game ( yeah i agree with u )

[Oblivion14]

ummm...no. I would not like any Hannah Montana crap on Rock Band. Rock Band had a great reputation 4 putting great music up until now (SpongeBob???). I would not like 4 the reputation to be any more tarnished of Hannah freaking Montana.

[xXjAmEZXx]

hannah montana and every miley cyrus can burn in hell, i wish to kill her myself

[Phategod1]

It's got drums, guitar, and vocals.


So does Chris Brown, Don't mean it belongs in RB sugar.

[ts2steven13]

Eh, I'm not going to totally dis Hannah Montana, but really the only song I'd buy would be The Climb.

HM just isn't really my taste in music.

Successful troll is successful!... if it is a troll that is...

[Brandon_Moore16]

mmm idk i rather have the song "See You Again" but performed by Breathe Carolina

[sonicnerd23]

No to HM. This is the same person who swore to try and end Radiohead. Plus her music sucks.

[kingtonyx]

I'd download See You Again, 7 Things, and The Climb if they came out...

these would be big sellers. big sellers = big money for HMX = big money to lure big artists

[stangace20]

god no,

Didn't they just have some spongebob squarepants songs added a while back to keep all the 3yr olds happy? (or more likely their tierd parents)

[Tapede]

I have younger sister who listens to her music and watches the show, so in away im automattically forced to hate it. Also the music is simplistic compared to what im used to listening to. Lastly i am a prog + metal fan who avoid most music that is pop*, rap, or country related. That is the list of reasons why I wouldn't buy it, but im sure there are people that would and i respect thier opinions.

[Nintendofrog]

As for fan base numbers, I guess I should be more specific, the total number of fans world wide would be a close race. However fans who also play video games? I beleive Hannah wins by a large margin in that regard.

I disagree. The key demographic of videogamers is 18-34 years old males. I don't know a single person in that group that likes HM. However, many people I know in that group like bands like AC/DC, Metallica, Led Zeppelin, etc.

[ArchangelZero]

I doubt that Viacom would like it if their competitor (Disney) was making money off one of their properties (Rock Band)
