This should be a fun one to play and sing, I think it's a pretty good choice, sounds way better than the GH 80s version too in my opinion.

[Bakkster]

Neat! Should be fun.

[Symphonite]

Wow, that reminds me of how off the 80's cover version was. I would always sing along to this one anyhow, so that's a plus.

[undertow]

Nice song! Very good choice! ... this might be the last 70s song! :D

[desyphur]

Wow, that is awesome! I love this song :D

[McDeezy]

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS. I love this song!! I'm so happy.

[Symphonite]

Oh wait, this is the original version, the Krokus one was a cover! That makes sense now.

[Yordakin]

Sweet, the original. This time around it will be enjoyable for sure.:D

[Maherj]

Those drum fills are so awesome

[foolosophy]

Ballroom Blitz! Haha sweet, this only makes the possibility of repeated GH tracks better. I love you Harmonix.

[espher]

Yessssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss ssssssssssssssss


Oh My ****ing God Yes

I Have Been Asking For This Since Day One

Sweet Jesus Yes

Cover's pretty good too. I hated the Krokus version of this song.

Edit: Apparently if you post in all caps, the board Joigga's you. Interesting.

[TK-757]

That's going to be SO much fun to sing!

"And they all started grooooving, yeah, yeah, yeah, YEAH YEAH!!!"

[xenopherus]

I've only ever heard the Krokus version, but this one sounds a lot better. Seems like it'll be really fun to sing.

[espher]

That's going to be SO much fun to sing!

"And they all started grooooving, yeah, yeah, yeah, YEAH YEAH!!!"

Hahahaha yeah.

I hope they keep the intro part, or at least let you free-form it to replace it with the name of your bandmates.

[chaopolis]

SWEET!!! I love that song!

All we need is Bohemian Rhapsody and Feed My Frankenstein and then we'd have the Wayne's World Trifecta!!!

[foolosophy]

Let's see who's the first one to repeat the necessary "I hope this is a bonus song."

[HeXcoda]

SWEET!!! I love that song!

All we need is Bohemian Rhapsody and Feed My Frankenstein and then we'd have the Wayne's World Trifecta!!!

Yeah! And then, we can be a minor villainess in a James Cameron movie, and then, fade from the public eye...

I don't think we're getting Boho Rapso until they release Piano Hero, unfortunately. But this song almost makes up for that. Almost.

It's not a "HEUG BOMB DROP" announcement but it's a song I've heard of and would probably enjoy playing, so hey, I'll applaud it!

[CableCarrier]

Hell. Yes.

[chaopolis]

I don't think we're getting Boho Rapso until they release Piano Hero...

I'm a huge Queen fan, and would LOVE for any Queen songs to be in it... but I totally agree with that.

There are many many many other well balanced (guitar, bass, drums, vocals) songs from Queen.

This is the part where I post for the millionth time that Ogre Battle would be perfect for Rock Band and oh god who do I have to pay off to get it in the game.

I posted an "analysis" of different Queen songs a couple months back... and Ogre Battle was one of the few I mentioned as a great song choice.

You got my support!

Excellent. Now all I need is a plane ticket to Boston.

[TheRocker]

Not bad Not bad at all :D

[jonfitzsimon]

meh. i am tired of playing songs that have already been out!

[Eman311]

Trust me, this version is 100000x better

[CableCarrier]

Trust me, this version is 100000x better

It is. On that note, I wonder if Radar Love will also find its way onto Rock Band sooner or later.

[foolosophy]

Mmm, fun drums.

[AdamBomb629]

Song is cool for me.

[masterx1918]

this song is gonna be damn fun to play. I approve. I especially like the part at the begining when they go "are you ready steve? andy? LETS GO!"

[Varsps]

sorry to be the fly in the ointment as it were, but i hate hate hate this song

thank you

[Coldplayer]

Man... how can they add a song like this but not the Cure... :mad:

[The_Vampire_Lestat]

Last song for lyric solo tour?

[Coldplayer]

There are still 5 songs missing. I thought IGN is going to reveal the whole setlist today, but they still haven't? :confused:

[Riboflavin]

Excellent Song Choice!

[undertow]

There are still 5 songs missing. I thought IGN is going to reveal the whole setlist today, but they still haven't? :confused:

Luckily for IGN today doesn't end for another 12 hours and 29 minutes. Sorry for being Captain Obvious ;)

[AVC808]

cool. i never played whatever GH version you guys talked about, but it sounds like it was crap. good thing this is the original. now i'll finally be able to learn the lyrics. the song goes to fast for me to understand. im sure if i actually repeated the track and listened closely i would learn, but i dont have this song on my computer or anything. only heard it on the radio and in movies.

[masterx1918]

There are still 5 songs missing. I thought IGN is going to reveal the whole setlist today, but they still haven't? :confused:
IGN is on the west coast so wait until later tonight.

[Magnet]

Lots of people wanted the Sweet version rather than Krokus from Guitar Hero Encore: Rocks The 80s. This is going to be awesome. I've wanted this song to be in a rhythm game for a long time. It's completely unexpected and makes me a million times happier about this game. The only thing I'm a little disappointed to see is that it's a cover, but it really doesn't sound all that bad actually.

Great choice, HMX!

[Coldplayer]

Ah, yeah, right... well, friday is almost over where I live. But I live in Europe. :p

[chaopolis]

Ah, yeah, right... well, friday is almost over where I live. But I live in Europe. :p

Ooooooooooh... the future!

[undertow]

I didn't even think about that. Pretty naive of me to not only overlook the possibility of another country, but also people on the East Coast. I simply went by my time zone, which also happens to be IGNs time zone (PST, GMT -8). Sorry about that :)

[undertow]

Ooooooooooh... the future!

rofl... nice man, I actually lol'd out loud! :D

[Rock_Starman]

See didn't need the label for that one. Makes up for the screwed up 80's verision.

[Rev0lver]

wtf? and the caps lock got me excited...

[Coldplayer]

Ooooooooooh... the future!

lol. Exactly. If only Rockband was going to come out here sooner too... but it actually comes out next year here! :eek:

... :mad:

[chaopolis]

... :mad:

Ooooooooooh... irony!

[ThuDogFood]

Awesome sounds "Sweet" lol (sorry I really couldn't resist.

Still though, I am glad to have this song in. The Krokus version was my favorite song in GH80s (I know, you all want to kill me for actually enjoying it), but this one sounds better.

One thing though. I never heard this version, so is the guitar the same, or is it easier or harder?

[sushi111]

Sweet I love this version

[MeleeMan]

This version is sooooo much better, but I guess this is the end of 70's...

Here, let you judge for yourself...

Personally, I love the Sweet version. It has more soul than the Krokus cover of it.

[Nilsen31]

The original version...well the cover of the original version, should be better than the cover of an 80s cover that was in GH 80s


The orig song by Sweet is...sweet!

[chaopolis]

The orig song by Sweet is...sweet!

((sigh))... and so it begins!

[sushi111]

Amazing song. What a classic.

Krokus was an insult

[Jonnyears]

OH MY GOD!! This is my favourite song EVER! Oh my, so pleased about this news.

[bmore007]

I must say i'm disappointed with this one.

[CableCarrier]

I must say i'm disappointed with this one.

What's it like living without a soul?

[Nilsen31]

BEST SONG TO SING!!!

just cuz you might be able to say...

Are ya ready, Steve? uh-huh. Andy? Yeah! Mick? OK.
Alright, felllllaaaaaaaaaasssssss, let's gooooooooooooooooooooo!!

[Xzyliac]

Four. Crunch time.

[juiceman23]

WOOOOT I LOVE THIS SONG!... me and my friend were listening to some songs to see what would be good in RB and i said this song! WOOT

[Jimmik]

What's it like living without a soul?

hahaha, I was gonna say I'm not crazy about it (yet) either. That made me laugh though so its all good. I have faith in HMX that I will grow to like it over time. I'm actually surprised I don't, since I grew up watching Wayne's World pretty frequently

[Bakkster]

Like the Sweets version. Never heard the Krokus version. Just listened to it, and it kinda sucked. At least as much as any other 80s hair metal cover.

Hooray Sweets!

[CPT_Destroyer]

Holy crap. That threw me off guard. In a good way.

This is going to be so much fun to play. I can't wait. :D

[dethklok]

.....Oh....my....f'n....god.... I LOVED THIS SONG IN RT80'S, I CAN'T WAIT TO ROCK OUT ON MY DRUMS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*I will also sing it :D

[Xzyliac]

I have watched this vid seven times in the last half an hour. Why am I so obsessed over this particular vid?

[Tendoza]

Maybe because this vid was slow cooked and simmered in awesome sauce?

AH! That must be it!
