Unbelievable. No Detroit venue?

[OrdealByFire]

Music was made in Michigan. Well, not literally of course, but with all the history. What posessed Harmonix to include what seems to be 20 cities, some of which seem completely random, and exclude Detroit? Just because it was seen in Guitar Hero II? Still. Laaaame!

[Eman311]

Nitpicky details.

[IbanezBassist_v2]

Detroit is LAAMME!:cool:

[Bakkster]

Dare you to say that downtown... :eek:

[sporkBrigade]

Maybe it was a liscensing issue. Like, the city of Detroit didn't want their name tarnished by a Video Game.

Oo, even better, maybe Detroit killed Alex Rigopulos's parents.

We may never know the truth...

[IbanezBassist_v2]

Noted for future reference!

[jonfitzsimon]

Austin, Texas is the "live music city of the world" and it got gipped too... :(

[MartyMcFly]

You never know... DLC could also be downloadable new venues as well!

:D

[foolosophy]

Even more ironic is they have a song called Detroit Rock City. You would imagine...

[mmorgan184]

They skipped Cleveland. The home of Rock n' Roll.

[toefer]

:D

Maybe they can package it with some Kid Rock songs. That would sell like crazy!

Or Insane Clown Posse!






Got ya! lol BIG just kidding!! :D

[Schultzy]

Don't worry; Chicago is in Rock Band, and that makes everything better! :D

[newwaytodie]

Alice Cooper and The Stooges are from Detroit and they've both been in GH. There was a detroit venue in GH2, a song titled "Detroit Rock City" and still they refuse to come to Detroit. More like "Un-Rock Band" if you ask me. Every rock band knows you gotta play Detroit, way to go posers.

[Xzyliac]

Detroit mega-über-super-blows on a massive scale of soul tearing failure.

You have to live there to say that. That's the only way you get the right to.

[Spraynwipe]

You think you're sad that your hometown didn't make it in as one of the 17 cities? I had to say goodbye to Brisbane too!

They said something about Brisvegas not being on the same scale of rock importance as "London" or "Seattle" when we were in the meetings, but we all know it's a secret conspiracy against bands like Custard and Regurgitator.

[Apples]

I'm disappointed Nebraska didn't make the cut myself. :(

The venue could have been a corn field with cows grazing in the audience. For the encore they could have had a good ol' fashioned barn raising.

A former penal colony and home to indie rock? Wow, Brisbane really does have it all....

[Apples]

Haha! :D

It is possible. ;)

Just like Canada has all its stereotypes, so does the midwest. I've grown up in a city of nearly a million people and don't know beans about farming, cattle, and all the other stereotypical midwestern concepts.

Stayed for a summer. Pretty awful although there's plenty to do.

I live in Chicago and I don't fall into the Chicago sterotypes...
Wait, no, that's a lie.
I'm basically all the Chicago sterotypes! :D

"sorry kid. detroit has no jobs, so no one has money. theres no profit there, son".

/disguise off

besides, theyre home to the Red Wings....who wants to be there?


/runs for the hills

[Bakkster]

This is like a "My brother can beat up your brother" argument...

[idiotec]

Well, I am guessing that for the facilities they did pick, they have to travel to them, take pictures and stuff so they can design it for the game.

So my guess is once they got to Detroit, the changed their minds and went home. Or, they were mugged at gun point and forced to leave because they had no money.


:D :p :D

[Xzyliac]

My sister will kick your brothers ass.

[mrcrazypants05]

Wheres Kansas City? We've got uh... er... well the... We've got some venues... places... that people can perform. Big ones... even a... er, a few open ones. Whatever, I'll just be japanese in the game...

[xenopherus]

Detroit schlock city

The Stanley Cup likes to visit.

[jdr7650]

Last I heard there was no Nashville or Memphis either. Given the fact that both of those are huge music cities. Hell graceland is in tennessee I figured it was a shoe in. Apparently not even the king of rock and roll will sway harmonix hard hearts. ;)

[travmeatwad]

Even more ironic is they have a song called Detroit Rock City. You would imagine...

Exactly.

They should have Detroit in the game.. and have a Detroit (or somewhere close) stop on the tour..

[Camaro17]

what about Toronto, we got some pretty groovy place, and we got bands like Neil young, rush, April wine.

[OrdealByFire]

Even more ironic is they have a song called Detroit Rock City. You would imagine...I know man I noticed that. Detroit Rock City was even one of the tracks they have playable on the Rock Band Tour or whatever...

Lol. Just so stupid.

[OrdealByFire]

They skipped Cleveland. The home of Rock n' Roll.

Gimme a break. Detroit > Cleveland.

[Xzyliac]

Gimme a break. Detroit > Cleveland.

Now I will agree with that.

[OrdealByFire]

I also need to state that Detroit gets far too many stereotypes. Sure Detroit isn't a city where you want to be on the streets at 3am, but that goes for most populated cities. FLINT is where you don't want to go - ever - for any reason. Get your facts straight.

**** you.. The Red Wings kick ass.

[Jimmik]

**** you.. The Red Wings kick ass.

hellz yea! go redwings!!!

[Criss2fur]

Skipped my hometown of Memphis TN also "Home of the Blues

[Spear_of_Destiny]

not quite

Avalanche > Red Wings

Roy pwned Vernon and Osgood fighting (took a cheap clothesline cheapshot from Shanny to soften Roy up for the Osgood fight to make it even close) Hell, Hasek was too afraid of Roy to fight him.

Our 19 was and is better than yours. Sakic wayyyyy better than Yzerman.

The rivalry isnt what it once was, but loved it while it lasted.

/unhijack thread my apologies

[Bakkster]

Avalanche > Red Wings

Lol, that was a funny joke.

[The_Vampire_Lestat]

How many times did Avalanche win the Stanley cup with Roy? And how many times did the Wings with with Osgood...


Nuff said.

I don't watch much/any hockey, but I played a lot of NHL 98 on PS1, and let me tell you, the Kariya/Selanne combo was unstoppable. Throw Hebert in goal, and I had the Ducks winning 82 games a season.

NHL 97 was where it was at.

Even so... if sports games are any indication... the Lions will beat the Patriots in this years Super Bowl.

Final Score: 308 to 7

[SmokaCola]

Man I remember the first GameDay on the PS1... 49ers were the **** in that game. As for no Detroit venues... That does kinda blow considering we have "Detroit Rock City" and we can't rock out in Detroit.

[OrdealByFire]

You guys are noobs. NHL 2001 is "where it's at". On the PS1? Damn dude. Epic.

i don't know that i've ever felt as old as i did when i read this...

anyone else?

also

Mutant league Hockey anyone?

[espher]

NHLPA '93.

For the glory.

Edit: NHL '94 was probably better overall, but I always preferred NHLPA '93.

[sporkBrigade]

This is the most hijacked thread ever. I'm laughing my ass off over here.

[Spear_of_Destiny]

i know i feel terrible. i totally didnt mean it.

funny part is, it went from detroit vs colorado rivalry to a walk down memory lane on old nhl games. how did gameday have anything to do with it? lol.

to the OP, im sorry it was supposed to be a silly off the cuff slight, and it became "a thing". it was purely unintentional.

[OrdealByFire]

I don't care. I'm not "ew hockey". I think it's pretty funny that if you step outside of Michigan to watch a hockey game, unless it's in Canada, no one even likes the sport.

[espher]

I don't care. I'm not "ew hockey". I think it's pretty funny that if you step outside of Michigan to watch a hockey game, unless it's in Canada, no one even likes the sport.

Many, many, many people I know (and cities I can think of) would beg to differ.

Edit: Not to mention, the people from those cities haven't had to watch their team dominate the regular season only to continually choke in the playoffs with rare exceptions.

[jq71586]

Hmm..I'm pretty sure Boston is outside of Michigan. There is Boston College, Boston University, Harvard, NorthEastern. The Beanpot. Also even though the franchise is floundering at the bottom of the toilet there is still an unusual amount of love for the Boston Bruins.

[OrdealByFire]

Red Wings > NHL =]

1 Day Away From Release. I Want A Downloadable Detroit Venue - Nao!!!

[OrdealByFire]

Lol BTW Detroit was just renamed the "Most Dangerous City In America", followed by St. Louis. Ahahah.

[jordan15b]

they didnt give me mah recon armor either

*cries in corner*

ew Galo 3. Get it away.

You know what's really sad ?
No Taft california or Louisville Kentucky, the second and third home of rock.
I mean wth

Totally agree! i am from brisvegas and will return there someday. Come on now! at least some more important cities than sydney, i mean Melbourne would make much more sense but not as much as brisbane :D

[Apples]

Boo... this thread wasn't very good the first time it came up.

I'm still serious about wanting my midwestern-themed barn raising venue though.
