Welcome Home by Coheed and Cambria

Should be a fun song to play.!

[Eman311]

NICE! a little different to mix things up.

good song too, this is good news indeed.

[Apples]

Here's a youtube video of the whole song... awesome intro IMHO and the potential for some wicked solo action. That in-game vid does not do the song justice.

Edit:

Having listened to the song a few times now... this is really a vintage Harmonix move. With GH1 and 2, they were the veritable masters of finding obscure/unknown song tracks that make for great gaming. This is definately in the same pattern, I only wish the vid had shown some of the solo sections.

[Hunter]

omg so sweet like a month ago i posted something on the forums about Coheed and Cambria and Welcome home is exactly what i wanted haha WOOT

[Keebler]

OMG someone kill that schmuck at IGN who thinks he should be the vocalist.

That looks like a pretty nasty song on guitar! I'm not a Coheed fan, but I'm looking forward to playing this song. :)

[Xenoburst]

Sounds like a good addition! So how many songs are left now?

[AVC808]

i dont understand why they never mentioned this in that gamespot thing last night. oh well.

[TheRocker]

Not bad the more the Merrier

[toefer]

OMG someone kill that schmuck at IGN who thinks he should be the vocalist.

I second that. What's even worse is I think he thinks he's funny.

[ThePaska]

Sweet it was about time for a new song announcement! I think the beginning to welcome home is definitely one of those that gets stuck in your head. I think it should be fun to play, I'm looking forward to it.

When the heck are they going to announce more 60s songs though, one on the disc is just not going to cut it!

[Keebler]

Dude. The guy was butchering the song so badly, I couldn't even tell what it was. I just YouTube'd the song and I was like, "HOLY ****! I KNOW THIS SONG AND I LOVE IT!"

I couldn't tell what it was from that 30 second clip and I assumed I wouldn't know what it was from the line "no way mainstream." But yeah.... I just realized I know this song and I've been hoping it'd make it into GH3 or Rock Band. :)

I believe that makes 34 of 45, so 11 songs are still unannounced.

[TheRocker]

Dont forget the Bonus songs :)

[Eman311]

definetly gonna be one of the harder songs band co-op wise.

[WingsOfSteel]

The addition of Coheed and Cambria's "Welcome Home" marks one of the first entries of a relatively new song.

AHAHAHHAHHAAAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHA

HAHA HA

HA

[TheTogfather]

purchased and downloading now...thanks for posting. Will give my impressions in a bit (as I know you're all dying to know how I feel) :P

[espher]

Hmm, I'm not a Coheed and Cambria fan, but a friend of mine is. He should appreciate this. :)

Interestingly this was one song of theirs I'd heard that I found tolerable. :p

[sushi111]

Im not a big fan, btu finally people can shut up about guitar difficulty.

[vtjustinb]

One of my favorite tracks off of that CD--this is exciting news. I got to see them live once and had never seen what any of the members looked like, and expected to see some tiny bouncy guy on stage singing, but instead got this big Slash-haired latin dude. Definitely wasn't expected. :P Claudio's voice is awesome though, really unique.

Good acoustic version of that song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CkCYGghg1uY

[HPLabonte]

QFT<tencharacters>

[TheTogfather]

Just gave it a listen. This is honestly the first song they've announced that I've never before heard in my life. I like it though...definately should give some needed guitar difficulty...gonna be hard to sing and drum too I think. Was I hearing some double-bass in there too? Might solve the question of whether they can do double bass drum songs or not.

Probably won't wind up as one of my all-time favorites to play, but a good choice. Helps fill a lot of stuff we were lacking (harder songs & guitar work mostly).

[mobhit101]

wow, just heard the song for the first time. Gotta say I'm pretty impressed. When I saw this on IGN I was like, "meh, isn't that some emo band?" But after hearing the whole song it sounds pretty damn cool. Dude on the vocals though is freaking HORRENDOUS! (ign's vocalist)

[foolosophy]

COHEED AND CAMBRIA! I love you Harmonix. The verse riffs remind me a lot of Kashmir, the way they build up. It should be fun to play. Oh and someone fire this vocalist. He's butchered every song he does. How dare he.

[Keagan2387]

Yes! They listened to me! Mauhahahahaha. Totally supported coheed thread back in the day with all the haters. Can't ****ing wait.

[Tendoza]

Heh, not a bad song. I have to give Harmonix props for picking some fine newer tunes.

Like Sushi said, the guitar should be fairly tough.

[G_tarRoCK3R]

Excellent song, now they just need to get 'In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth 3' :D

I love this song list, Only 43 more days!! xD

[GrenadeJumper]

First off I would liek to say out of all songs that I wanted to be in this game, this was at the top of my list.

Should be great to play. The solo and the beginning are gonna be tough. Vocals are gonna be hard also.:D

[PsycoCheerio]

Only part of the song I'd remembered was the intro...'ought to be fun to play the guitar...

[GrenadeJumper]

By the way they most certainly are mainstream!

[Xzyliac]

Dude I wanna get on my PC so I can see it.

Difficult guitar? Must see!

I think the remainder of the songs will be good to guitarist. I think they were pushing all the other instruments to seperate itself from GH. Now with GH around the corner they can ride the guitar hype train.

[IbanezBassist_v2]

Now all we have to wait for is the Tool annoucement!

[mattitude]

I could safely say that I liked literally every song on Rock Band's tracklist... until today.

Coheed gets a thumbs down from me.

[Riboflavin]

awesome song. kudos to you HMX.

i hope 8 of the 11 songs are the "hard" ones (TOOL) and the rest "party" songs (Paramore) to round off things.

[the_spike]

Very kickass. My favorite song announced besides Go With the Flow.

[Symphonite]

Can't say I'm a fan of the band or the song, but it might be fun to play if I ignore those vocals.

Still hoping for One Armed Scissor: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IangJqFUQuI

[blue_dragonzero]

I ****ing called it! Awesome Song!

[Electric_Zen]

For people like me that are trying to hunt down the song, the album is called Good Apollo, I'm Burning Star IV, Volume One: From Fear Through The Eyes of Madness In Stephen Colbert Presents: Stephen Colbert's Alpha Squad 7: Lady Nocturne, A Tek Jansen Adventure

[Desensitized]

Good choice for a modern (00's) song.

Now please announce the 60's songs. :)

[KingofQUEEN48]

yes very fun guitar!

[Xzyliac]

Just saw the vid (Why don't people ever just embed by the way?) and I have to say it looks like fun.

The guitar still looks kind so-so. I MEAN NOT TRYING TO *****! I am looking forward to guitar most of all in RB but the hype on this thread was it'd end all the *****ing. It did at least look active. I don't it'll end the *****ing but it did look really active and fun. And the solo (is there one?) isn't shown either so who knows?

I kinda like the guitar work in Suffragette City the most so far.

Oh, there is a solo :) One of my favorites. This song should be pretty sweet to play with all instruments. I was really hoping this song would somehow find it's way into Rock Band although I didn't think it had much of a chance. Looks like I was wrong

[undertow]

Added my 2 cents to try and get Tool in Rock Band!

Also, what about:
The Doors - Any song
Audioslave - Any song
Alice in Chains - Man in the Box (Please!)
Pearl Jam - Alive or Jeremy
rage against the machine - (Tom Morello being in GH3 can't immediately mean restricted from other games, can it? :x)
Korn - Blind or Predictable
A Perfect Circle - Judith
Bachman Turner Overdrive - You ain't seen nothin' yet
Steppenwolf - Magic Carpet Ride


What happen to good ole fashin rock n roll? Rock Band had a helluva list going before the last 3-4 bands were announced. I hope they are literally just throwing in a little something for everyone and by the time the full setlist is out, they will have regained the strength they had in the early announcements. Regardless, I'll still buy it and just hope they make it up with DLC.

I agree, Alive by Pearl Jam would be awesome in Rock Band and Ten as DLC would be amazing and awesome for all 4 players. You Aint seen nothin yet would be fun and there are some challenging parts to that song for guitar so it would be a good one.

[JarethLegend]

This is the best announcement so far. I haven't been so excited about RB lately, especially seeing the GH3 song list, but this makes up for things quite a bit. If only the full album is released as DLC soon after release of the game then I'd be the happiest person alive. The drumming is great on this album. I saw them live last year and have tickets this November to see them again. Now I'm waiting for the Dream Theater and pedal expansion announcements. Come on HMX!

[FatWilma]

not a fan of the band, but this song is rockin' and a great selection for the game. when are they gonna announce floyd & bloc party?!?

[steelcurtain187]

Awesome song and announcement! Thanks for posting :cool:

[steelcurtain187]

Very kickass. My favorite song announced besides Go With the Flow.

Go With the Flow is definitely my favorite as well! I just pray we get some dl content for QOTSA in the future. I would die :eek:

Well then I could be wrong as hell and end up failing on my first try :p

Here's to hoping it kicks my ass! God I do love nail biting, ear piercing, pain.

[robmandark]

this makes my night. i suggested this song back when song suggestions were up like 90 times.

[doopadoopa]

nice! i was actually hoping for this to come out for gh3 or rock band. cant wait to play the guitar :)

[monlienNH3]

I'm not really a fan of the band, but this is an awesome addition to Rock Band - can't wait to play the drums and guitar on this song. But I hope I never see that IGN video again... with the sound on at least. Thanks for the news.

[battle_axe_of_doom]

i erk every time these guys are called progressive rockers :\:\:\

good band though

[Obnysalt]

It's not just emo, it's pretentious emo. God help us.

This will certainly be my least favorite song to play.

[battle_axe_of_doom]

btw lmao @ that ****ty article. "one of the first relatively new songs, headbanging, disturbing lyrics, not mainstream, healthy mix of [old and new stuff]" = all bull****

[parastroke7]

The singer in that vid on IGN sounds terrible. I'd rather listen to elephants having diahrea for 3 days straight without recess. It would sound so much better than him.

[AdamBomb629]

I listened to a video on youtube... the guitar and drums sound like they'll be fun to play... but that singer... somebody shoot him... :(

[vtjustinb]

I didn't like him the first time I heard C&C either, but he really grew on me and I really like them now.

no double bass, Josh Eppard the old drummer didn't use a double kick, because he said he got more "groove" out of a single kick.

[Doshin]

Can't say I'm a fan of the band or the song, but it might be fun to play if I ignore those vocals.

hahahah i'd love to see this, if for nothing else, than just so i can try and recreate the farmclub performance

[psyborg]

OMG someone kill that schmuck at IGN who thinks he should be the vocalist.




Yea, its weird though he sucks in most songs but some songs hes great, watch the Creep video, he totally nails it.

[Brock_Landers]

I'm not wild on the vocalist for this track, but I think it'll make a great addition nonetheless. Never heard of them before now, though.

[army_of_me]

I usually don't like this band but damn... this song is pretty cool!

[Jimmik]

Yea this song is really growing on me. I like it a lot now. And the guitar note chart looks especially fun. And those solos in the last min or so, those sounds really fun too. And the lyrics are tough nuggets, I imagine thisll be one of the later songs in the game. I think I'm gonna listen to it again right now :D

[ZkDotNet]

Agree with everything he said.

The solo sounds good.

[coheedfails]

Omfg, Are You ****ing ****ting Me???? Thank You So ****ing Much Harmonix, I Love This Song, I Love Coheed And Cambria, My Favorite Band, I Can't Believe They Actually Made It Into Rock Band, This Is ****ing Badass :)

[mohkilla]

if any song named "welcome home" deserves to be in rockband it should be "welcome home(sanitarium)" by Metallica!

[A_Perfect_TOOL]

When did these guys get good? The first and only time I ever heard of them was that Suffering song, which is one of the ***est songs ever. But "Welcome Home" actually sounds pretty decent along with some others I checked out on Youtube. Some great guitar work. I dig it.

[masterx1918]

this song owns
