I personally think this song would be just awesome, anyone else know of some music from the theater or some other unexpected sources that they would recommenced for Rock Band?

I think it would be cool, but I think you'd get a lot of resistance from haters and stuff. I'm guessing most of the people on these forums aren't gonna be too accepting of "Broadway Music" (just a guess).

But, yeah, RENT is great and this song would be fun.

I think it would work, considering the number of "Rock Operas" & "Rock Musicals" there are.

"Jesus Christ Superstar"
"Joseph & The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat"
"Hair"
"Godspell"
"Rent"
"Movin' Out"

Just to name a few. There are also a few "rock moments" in hits like "The Phantom Of The Opera", "Sweeney Todd", and yes, "Avenue Q". :p

I actually like the opening song from "Jesus Christ Superstar".

"Heaven On Their Minds" (from the film version)

Although I do have to say, out of context, certain songs wouldn't work for Rock Band. :) Although Nightwish's version of "The Phantom Of The Opera" would kick major a**. :D

Nightwish - "The Phantom Of The Opera"

Yea, I thought a rendition of Phantom of the Opera could work really well, I have to say that I would love that Nightwish version :cool:

I would like some songs from "Hair". They would make the game fun. Especially because they are songs that people know.

"Hair"

"Aquarius"

Get a good set of potential songs together right away. I want to hear them.

You have my full support... this is a really good idea, given what's out there to find.

...I know I'd love to play Rum Tum Tugger, but it appears to lack all the basic instruments that would allow it into Rock Band. Well, maybe when we get a horn controller for Ska Band... :P

[Setreal]

I also think that Out Tonight from Rent, by Jonathan Larson would be fantastic. It'll never happen, though. =)

[squall4008]

some stuff from Jersey Boys or We Will Rock You would probably work well:p

Wow, I forgot how much I loved Rent until this very moment. XD


I think it would be great to get some songs from Musicals in Rock Band.

Only slightly.

I fully support a Jesus Christ Superstar pack for Rock Band.
