Rock Band live on Gamespot again.

[Symphonite]

http://www.gamespot.com/shows/on-the-spot/?tag=hotslot;img;1

I just accidently ran into this. It'll be on in about an hour and 45 minutes.

[Xzyliac]

Woah, neato.

[Rook_x51]

Perhaps a reveal on the songs?

Man that would be funny.

[TK-757]

Perhaps a reveal on the songs?

Man that would be funny.

Hah, beat IGN to the punch again? :p

[HeXcoda]

Unless they're bound by NDA not to discuss it, this'd be a good chance to settle some of the long-standing vague questions:

* Guitar cross-compatibility
* How solo careers actually work
* Created bands in solo careers?
* Character export to bring to a friend's house and join hir's band?

I don't think asking questions about the setlists will be productive; odds are they have a reviewer's beta build which wouldn't have any last minute items (assuming there are any last minute huge songs) (which is not likely).

Be there at 7...

[Eman311]

Someone best keep me updated.

[sushi111]

Cant wait. I had a bad day today and RB always cheers me up

[Eman311]

I am predicting some new song info/being played.

[Symphonite]

If they play Suffragette City again, I may have to delete all of my David Bowie .mp3s off of my computer...and I love David Bowie. :(

[MeleeMan]

If Gamespot beats IGN to the new songs, Gamespot is my new video game news website.:)

[peachpunker63]

can anyone even get into gamespot. it worked earlier, but now it wont show up!

[Reaper0563]

gamespot.com is broken i believe, at least i can't connect

[masterx1918]

I cant get on the site

[peachpunker63]

o thank god, it works now!

[Reaper0563]

still doesn't work for me

[masterx1918]

when's the show supposed to start?

[Reaper0563]

7pm eastern

[HeXcoda]

"This week we've got Virtua Fighter 5 for the Xbox 360, Gears of War on the PC, and Exit for XBLA. And of course we still can't get enough of Rock Band, so we've got that in the studio too."

Hrm. On second thought, don't count on a ton of amazing RB coverage in this. It was the last thing mentioned and is not a highlight. We'll see...

[IErrantVentureI]

Someone put it on Youtube.

[Reaper0563]

after the show is over, i think they post it as a download

[Reaper0563]

yey, its back up

[devo193]

Can someone record it and send it to me, or just give me the highlights? I really want to watch it, but I'm going out of town in the next 10 minutes.


EDIT: Didn't see that they post it as a download. Nevermind.

[MeleeMan]

Are you going to Mexico?

[peachpunker63]

starts in 35 minutes and not expecting tooo much. just gameplay of course. if no new songs announced then we get them all tomorrow! so it all works out

[AVC808]

well maybe what they got in the studio is the full version like IGN received. even if they dont reveal all the songs, maybe you'll still see something on screen that reveals something new :)

im at work so im counting on this thread to deliver the goods!

See, this is when screen-peaking is cool.

[masterx1918]

I honestly wouldn't be suprised if GS played an un-announced song. I mean they do have the full version of the game now so they're not restricted to playing only demo songs anymore. THe only thing that really ristrics them is HMX and if IGN is getting the green light to spill info then i'd imagine GS would in suit

[R0ck3r]

I hope this doesn't end up being hours of pointless things like Player's Ball was...

[peachpunker63]

i like the picture above the watch now thing for on the spot. it has that kool drummer lol

[CableCarrier]

I'm not going to get my hopes up. I'm just expecting some neat gameplay footage, maybe an inkling of info about Solo Tours or something.

[R0ck3r]

Its on now. But with previews and questions like the movies...


Edit:NOW its on

[HeXcoda]

In their "Coming up this episode!" like 8 games were mentioned and no Rock Band. So, I'm guessing there's gonna be nothin'.

[Magnet]

Okay...am I really seeing Lara Croft battle a T-Rex right now? wtf

[R0ck3r]

Quote: We Are Going To Show You Rock Band This Song Has Not Been Anounced Yet!

Some song by "The New Pornographers"

This might be it?

[rikatix]

New Pornographers - Electric Version Omg I Just **** Myself

[Tendoza]

What song is this?

[rikatix]

anyone that does not know new pornographers need to get on it now, great band, did not see this coming at all

[AdamBomb629]

New Pornographers - Electric Version Omg I Just **** Myself

Who the hell are they?

[Reaper0563]

what song is this so i can watch on youtube

[peachpunker63]

i know that song from somewhere but what song was it anyways?

[InsaneGame]

The new howsawhat now?

[Kirksplosion]

Never heard of them, but it sounds pretty freaking sweet.

[rikatix]

Who the hell are they?

canadian super-band. a collection of a few vocalists/musicians who make great music. get ahold of a copy of "Mass Romantic" and "Electric Version" great albums. they just had a new album come out a few weeks ago. "Twin Cinema" is pretty good too but EV and MR are the best

[masterx1918]

i'm guessing it's a bonus song? They also showed footage of The Hand That Feeds.

[xenopherus]

DAMNIT!!! First, the sound for the feed was so terrible, I couldn't hear anything except for what sounded like electronic bits and bytes sounds. And then they announce the band: The New Pornographers!?! *rubs temples to soothe away the intense irritation* Never heard of them, don't care.

[CableCarrier]

I've heard of The New Pornographers, just not their stuff. Also, I think the song was messed on my end, because I only heard a bunch of beeps and stuff; an iTunes check of the song makes me think it's a pretty good choice. Looks like fun to play.

Edit: The footage was from The Hand That Feeds? Awesome!

[AdamBomb629]

what song is this so i can watch on youtube

New Pornographers - Electric Version is an album I think.

[CableCarrier]

New Pornographers - Electric Version is an album I think.

It is also an individual song.

[rikatix]

crap now i cant remember which song i heard because i dropped everythning. i cant believe this is happening, i never would have seen this coming.

best 2 days ever, green grass and high tides and now this, omg i am so happy.

it was either "electric version" or "the laws have changed"

heres the song "the laws have changed" i cant find any videos for electric version

i love new pornographers, way to bash a band that you have never heard of!

[Xzyliac]

5 songs left. They better be damn good. Even I'm peeved now. This is just horrible. I'm all for new bands I don't know but where the hell are my classics?

[Tendoza]

The song is alright.

The drums sound fun.

[mdub0814]

Was that a new trailer with "The Hand That Feeds" by NIN playng between the last two segments?

[AdamBomb629]

5 songs left. They better be damn good. Even I'm peeved now. This is just horrible. I'm all for new bands I don't know but where the hell are my classics?

Is this a bonus song?

[Magnet]

I'm glad it's something I've never heard of before. I don't want all the songs to be stuff I've heard countless times already. Half the fun of HMX games is discovering awesome new music.

[CableCarrier]

5 songs left. They better be damn good. Even I'm peeved now. This is just horrible. I'm all for new bands I don't know but where the hell are my classics?

There are already plenty of classics--Highway Star, Gimme Shelter, Detroit Rock City, Foreplay/Long Time, Paranoid, Mississippi Queen, Tom Sawyer, Should I Stay or Should I Go, Suffragette City, and Won't Get Fooled Again. I could live with that.

[xenopherus]

Just listened to a song called by them called "use it" and to the one that was posted here. Mediocre band- not bad, not good. This is frustrating anti-news.

[Xzyliac]

Is this a bonus song?

Don't know. Hope so. Otherwise 5 songs to go. I'm about to grab the PC. Hope I can catch all I missed.

[rikatix]

ok it was definately the song "the electric version" its a bit faster than the video i posted its gonna be great.

i dont see it being a bonus song if only because it is licensed and they are a pretty popular band, just not something you hear on the radio

[toelessfoot]

Is this a bonus song?

probably not, they've probably already anounced all the big guns and all that's left are lesser known bands like this one. It woulnd't really benefit them to hold back big names until the end, so they probably aren't.

[Xzyliac]

True. Still I'm let down. Maybe I'm just an oldie at heart. Not *****ing. Just underwhelmed.

[peachpunker63]

oh well i can wait until tomorrow to here all the songs on ign!

[CableCarrier]

True. Still I'm let down. Maybe I'm just an oldie at heart. Not *****ing. Just underwhelmed.

I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a bit let down, too, but you can't have it all. There's always DLC, though.

[Xzyliac]

I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a bit let down, too, but you can't have it all. There's always DLC, though.

Yup. I want GN'R, Cream, and Jefferson Airplane on disc though. :( With 5 left chances are slim.

[Reaper0563]

well, I was afraid of there being a song that I was going to be forced to play. Hopefully, this is the only one.

[sushi111]

well, I was afraid of there being a song that I was going to be forced to play. Hopefully, this is the only one.

Its not a bad song and might even be bonus. It has a very good part for every instrument.

[AdamBomb629]

Yup. I want GN'R, Cream, and Jefferson Airplane on disc though. :( With 5 left chances are slim.

I don't know, I really think there is something big still to come.

[Hendrixx]

I'm all for really unknown indie bands getting in. Admittedly I'm a NP fan (and suggested them!)... I'm sure there'll be some more classics to come though....

[Reaper0563]

interesting that they have two singers though, i wonder how that will be handled.

[sushi111]

Well tomorrow we might get every song.

[Xzyliac]

I don't know, I really think there is something big still to come.

With Harmonix you never know do you?

If you guys are listening (and I know you are): WHITE RABBIT AND ZOMBIE (Cranberries)!!!

[sushi111]

I sooooo see Zombie being in the game

[MartyMcFly]

I just got into the cast, but I'm 24:45 into it. When the hell do they talk about Rock Band??? I don't wanna hear about Gears PC, or a rip off God of War game!

[Reaper0563]

they talked about a new track, i actually just got kicked off or something, no more feed for me

[CableCarrier]

I just got into the cast, but I'm 24:45 into it. When the hell do they talk about Rock Band??? I don't wanna hear about Gears PC, or a rip off God of War game!

They've already talked some about Rock Band, although I don't know if they'll have a demo at the end or something.

[Nilsen31]

can someone sum up whats been shown?

I'm at work :(

Any new songs?

and how many more are there unknown...that will be announced tomorrow?

[MartyMcFly]

I just wanted to know how much longer. Seriously, I don't care about these crappy DS games that still use text boxes instead of voice acting.

EDIT: So when I tuned in, this is live, and I already missed what they shown? I don't just start off from the beginning of the cast?

[R0ck3r]

Yup. I want GN'R, Cream, and Jefferson Airplane on disc though. :( With 5 left chances are slim.

I want GNR and AIC... most likely not gonna happen though

[Reaper0563]

I just wanted to know how much longer. Seriously, I don't care about these crappy DS games that still use text boxes instead of voice acting.

there might not be anything more, just have to wait and see. They did say they had it in the studio, so maybe

[milkman4591]

interesting that they have two singers though, i wonder how that will be handled.

Haha, if they can handle Bang Camaro, I think they can handle 2 singers :p

Oh you did not just diss Phoenix Wright. Sorry, but we'll have to step outside.

[foolosophy]

GameSpot always makes articles after On The Spot, that's been my experience anyways. It's either wrapping up all the things they did and said on the show but sometimes it's brand new stuff.

[MartyMcFly]

lol sorry bro, just mixed preference and opinion :)

EDIT: It's all over. I missed it :( Oh well, Sox game coming on, cya!

[Reaper0563]

what a waste of time

[Xzyliac]

I sooooo see Zombie being in the game

Yes please! :D

[Rock_Starman]

I'm all in favor of announcing songs without labels but that really only works when people actually know what the song/band is. Like if they did it with Won't Get Fooled Again and just had the "YYYEEEAAAAHHHH" to start the vid then everyone would know what it is. Most people have absolutly no idea who The Outlaws or New Pornographers are as evidanced by no one knowing what song was just announced.

[Magnet]

I sooooo see Zombie being in the game

After that whole Zombie Uprising thing HMX did in their blogs back in June, I wouldn't be all that surprised.

[Nilsen31]

People are stupid.

People will be educated on who the Outlaws are when Green Grass & High Tides kicks their ass.

[Eman311]

When guitar hero 1 came out, it had a ton of songs I had never heard before but ended up loving.

[Xzyliac]

Amen, halleljuah, thank God, you are dismissed.

[BiffMan]

QFT

I had a fairly wide range of musical experience and taste but it's been greatly broadened over the past 2 years and I put that squarely on HMX and GH/GH2.

[Nilsen31]

I've only liked one main type of music really...so when GH came out I really new most of the songs...the older ones...on there.

[Symphonite]

I've heard of the New Pornographers. It's a good song and should be fun to play. I'm glad some indie music got snuck in, still hoping for Les Savy Fav myself but I doubt they'll get in.

[Supergeek]

I like the Cranberries and I like "Zombie," but I just can't imagine trying to sing that!

[gates69]

I've heard of the New Pornographers. It's a good song and should be fun to play. I'm glad some indie music got snuck in, still hoping for Les Savy Fav myself but I doubt they'll get in.

The Jessica Numbers is a cool tune they do that I wouldn't mind playing.

[ThePaska]

Sweet the New Pornographers got announced? I'm glad they picked one of the songs I like by them, they are an OK band, not the best choice but I can deal with it.

[rikatix]

green grass and high tides + strokes + new pornographers will make this game THE **** i cannot wait for this
