I YeLL BeCAUSE I aM EXCITeD!!!!! YAYAYaYAYA!


Aerosmith, Iron Maiden!!!! YEARGH!(#@!!!!

[mxmarks]

UGH Fall Out Boy. The one band I was glad WASN'T in Rock Band.

Oh well. 44 out of 45 that I'm either alright with or flipping out crazy for isn't bad at all

[Varsps]

run to the hills!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! yeaaaaaaaaaaaah!!

[AVC808]

run to the hills!

[undertow]

Wow, very very impressed! Would have prefered Rag Doll by Aerosmith, but I love it!!

[coheedfails]

wow, FALL OUT BOY???? surely wasn't expecting that, ok, maybe HMX is nust trying to appeal to a more mainstream crowd also, at least it's not anything from their new cd, this song has more of a punk style than their new ****, but still dissapointing, they could've chosen much better, but rest of list, awesome

[tombrady]

A cover of run to the hills, and fall out boy?

And people were seriously hoping for Queen and Led Zeppelin.

[Requiem]

No Muse AND there IS Fallout Boy... I am deeply saddened.

Oh well, still an awesome setlist.

[Xenoburst]

Run to the ****ing Hills. HELL YESS!!!!!!!

[AVC808]

im actually shocked they didnt fit some queen in there. zeppelin was not expected but on a wishlist. we'll wait to see what the future holds with DLC.

[joeincolorado]

Question...

On this it states: "Keep in mind that each week following the release of Rock Band, new downloadable songs will be made available. Among the DLC is the entire Who's Album "Who's Next," Metallica's "One," and eighteen songs by The Grateful Dead."

So, did they not give the green light to Nirvana's Nevermind album or what?

[RkBndDrmr]

WooHoo! The bad boys from Boston are in. A great song and gonna be wicked on the drums.

[Leo_10th]

really? after ALL the fallout boy hate it still made it?

whatever. still a great list.

[admanimal]

This track list is going to appeal to the majority of people (including myself) so much more than the GH3 list.

[Tendoza]

Run to the Hills is cool, so's Aerosmith..

Don't like the other "newer stuff" though...

Dang, I though train kept a rollin would be by the yardbirds........

[Xenoburst]

I only wanted one band in, and they were finally announced. Inside I'm crying, I really really am. Thank you Harmonix for delivering the Maiden. Thank you so very much ;-;

[tombrady]

I really thought they were going to drop a bombshell with Queen or something. Certainly Maiden and Aerosmith are pretty big names but I still can't see FoB being a bigger priority than Queen.

[Varsps]

yeah disappointed with fallout boy and killers, but the rest are sweet

i suppose it lacks a final BIG song too

[JohnnyFAS]

It's a sad day for music lovers when a band, hated by lovers of good and bad music alike, makes it into Rock Band. I shed a tear for the coming of Fall Out Boy.

[Bakkster]

Wait, Tom Sawyer has an asterisk, but no (cover). Does that mean they found a master, or that IGN fails at life? I'm not sure which.

[tombrady]

Watch, the bonus songs are like Led Zeppelin Queen and Tool or something :P RIGHT? THAT'D ROCK, RIGHT? HAHAHA, YUP, THAT'S WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN!! /sits in corner in fetal position.

Yeah I really like 75% of this setlist and I can probably justify 20% of the 25% I don't like, but it seems like a slap in the face to have Fall out Boy in. Maybe there's some **** they couldn't control that kept other bands out, but at what point did somone stand up and say "WE MUST HAVE THIS BAND"

[Keebler]

Someone from Fall Out Boy must have been giving "favors" if their song really ended up in this game.

Iron Maiden - great selection!

Aerosmith - never heard of this song... where are all the real hit Aerosmith songs in these games? Last Child? Same Old Song and Dance? This I guess gets lumped with the rest of these.

Fall Out Boy - NO. NO. THEY ARE NOT ROCK. They are the epitome of what sucks about music today. This song had better be A LOT of fun to play if it's in the game.

When You Were Young - another repeat track, not to mention it's a rather uninspired choice. Anything from Hot Fuss would have been a fine selection.

All in all, not as good a reveal as it should have been for the final track listing.

[Tendoza]

Watch, the bonus songs are like Led Zeppelin Queen and Tool or something :P RIGHT? THAT'D ROCK, RIGHT? HAHAHA, YUP, THAT'S WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN!! /sits in corner in fetal position.
*Injects you with Valium*

[admanimal]

It's a sad day for music lovers when a band, hated by lovers of good and bad music alike, makes it into Rock Band. I shed a tear for the coming of Fall Out Boy.

Like it or not, Fall Out Boy is a massively popular group, and having them in there is going to sell copies of the game.

If you can look past the fact that it's FOB, the song actually sounds really fun to play.

[Xzyliac]

Iron Maiden and Aerosmith? *shìts pants*

But I have two equally surprising gripes:

Only 13 unlockables
NO WELCOME TO THE JUNGLE!!! WTFrz!!!

[AVC808]

my guess is the wanted to get more newer stuff in and queen didnt make the cut...and there's so much good queen stuff they decided to bunch it all together for a mindblowing DLC announcement later when things start to taper off...

i was just about to ask what the asterik meant. it's on the aerosmith track too.

[ZkDotNet]

I call MTV influence shenanigans on FOB and Killers. (Two more tracks that won't make it on my 'Rock Band' playlist, joining New Pornographers and Bon Jovi.)

Iron Maiden is awesome though.

[Apples]

Lot of flack about this Fallout Boy band. Having never heard of them, is this another MCR situation like on the 360 GH2? (ie: hated band, lots of ranting, but the specific track turned out to be decent) Might have to youtube and investigate.

[espher]

I am on my break in two minutes and will have to try and find and listen to this Fall Out Boy track with an open mind. I found some of their stuff tolerable, but I would never seek it out nor define it as rock.

[Eman311]

**** Fall Out Boy. Harmonix, AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL choice. you just tainted the entire setlist.

[xenopherus]

Good to see Aerosmith, The Killers and Iorn Maiden. Not good to see Fall Out Boy.

[ThuDogFood]

Iron Maiden and Aerosmith?

But I have two equally surprising gripes:

Only 13 unlockables
NO WELCOME TO THE JUNGLE!!! WTFrz!!!

Those are my exact thoughts.

I was surprised to see the small number of unlockables...

[CableCarrier]

Probably. People just like to *****. I don't care much about them, especially when Iron frickin' Maiden has been announced. Also, I don't want to hear any more "IT DOESN'T HAVE ENUFF METUL"

[tombrady]

I really don't care if it's fun to mash on my plastic instrument, because having a band like Fall out Boy is a giant contradiction to everything this game stands for.

It does indeed come down to money, I guess. More 14 year olds are going to be begging mommy for fall out boy than Queen I'm sure, so that's the logic.

I blame EA.

[Eman311]

I blame MTV, Harmonix let them taint their game. The killers aren't much better.

this just runed my night. I'm gonna go play guitar hero 3 now.

[Rook_x51]

I may be in the minority here but I like Dead on Arrival by FoB. I'm not a big FoB fan but that song is decent. Before you go all "Hatey" on me, youtube it.

It'll be a decent song and my guess is that some of you haters out there will enjoy it :P

You can enjoy the song but hate the artist you know.


//edit:

[Jp7588]

There's probably going to be a big fat MTV logo on the box. I'm not saying I guessed it or anything but I'm not surprised Fallout Boy is in there at all. They did an admirable job of keeping the suck out.

[admanimal]

I call MTV influence shenanigans on FOB and Killers. (Two more tracks that won't make it on my 'Rock Band' playlist, joining New Pornographers and Bon Jovi.)

Iron Maiden is awesome though.

Why does it have to be some conspiracy that two hugely popular modern "rock"-ish bands made it into the game?

I like both of those songs and I look forward to playing them both....so there!

[Kylekillgannon]

.......................................









yes!!!!!!!!!!

[ImUrDaddy]

Okay, so I take it I'm the only one who likes fallout boy huh. I also like playing some of the metal, but I am not a fan of listening too it much. Just my tastes I guess. (I am from a Jazz background anyway). I like the fact they give a wide variety of music on the setlist. It will appeal to a bigger audience and help sales. We don't want a small target audience otherwise sales suffer and then rock band would be no more. :(

Lets celebrate the diversity and not make people like myself feel "not rock" by liking Fallout Boy. I also found some of the MCR songs best to run around and jump to. I can't be the ONLY one... right?

OK, I will leave your forums now...j/k :cool:

[Maherj]

I took a listen to the FOB tune, it's not bad. I think it's from their earlier stuff, before they were 'emo' or whatever they're coined as once you become popular on MTV.

I think it'll be like Dead! was on GH2. Everyone there was like OMG not getting 360 GH it's got MCR!!12. Well let me tell you, it's a fun song to play, and the MCR DLC weren't all that bad either.

Aerosmith? Win. Iron Maiden? Win. Killers? Not too bad just wish it wasn't a repeat.

[InsaneGame]

OK im not a afraid to Say it but I own a Fall Out Boy Cd. And i also Own every Bad religion cd and a couple of Metallica Ccd's so im not going to complain about Fall out boy in the game.

[xenopherus]

Yuck! Just listened to the Fall Out Boy song. All my teeth just melted from the mega super fop rock sound. A band only an 11 year old girl could love.

[ZkDotNet]

Why does it have to be some conspiracy that two hugely popular modern "rock"-ish bands made it into the game?

I like both of those songs and I look forward to playing them both....so there!
The Illumanti are behind it.

Don't take interweb posts so seriously.

[Mr_GtD]

Remain calm, remain calm...I'm sure Queen will be in as DLC, right? Yeah, they could! They'll have A Night at the Opera, Day at the Races, The Works, and Sheer Heart Attack! All at the same time! And they would pay me to take them! Yeah! That's what they'll do!

*Continuous insane rambling*

[Bakkster]

Aerosmith - never heard of this song... where are all the real hit Aerosmith songs in these games? Last Child? Same Old Song and Dance? This I guess gets lumped with the rest of these.

Really? One of my favorite Aerosmith songs. Should be crazy fun to play.

[Xzyliac]

Lot of flack about this Fallout Boy band. Having never heard of them, is this another MCR situation like on the 360 GH2? (ie: hated band, lots of ranting, but the specific track turned out to be decent) Might have to youtube and investigate.

Yeah it's just MCR all over again. I'm not *****ing until I play it. Even listening to it it may play better than it sounds.

The good here certainly outweigh the bad.

That said no GN'R. FAIL!

[tombrady]

Yeah, DLC has the potential to make this game twice as good as it already is...I'm going to continue to hold onto my slim hopes for Tool.

[xenopherus]

Remain calm, remain calm...I'm sure Queen will be in as DLC, right? Yeah, they could! They'll have A Night at the Opera, Day at the Races, The Works, and Sheer Heart Attack! All at the same time! And they would pay me to take them! Yeah! That's what they'll do!

*Continuous insane rambling*

*joins in the insane rambling* YOU FORGOT TO MENTION JAZZ YOU RAMBLING FOOL!! Why I oughta....!

[capitalfn9]

i cannot f'ing believe there is no gnr... they better be dlc fast

[Keebler]

Really? One of my favorite Aerosmith songs. Should be crazy fun to play.

I'm just saying - we need a classic track like "Sweet Emotion," "Walk This Way," "Dream On," something the masses of people unfamiliar with the huge back catalogue of Aerosmith can get excited about.

[peachpunker63]

Wow im glad i got guitar hero 3. I also got this game, but i dont really like the setlist at all. They should have some more punk or metal songs. Man am i glad they will have DLC every week.

[espher]

Okay, this Fall Out Boy song is actually... not bad?

I can't believe I'm saying that.

But it's a lot better than the crybaby bull**** off their 2005 album that got all the TV play. "Dance, Dance", "A Little Less Sixteen Candles", etc.

It feels more pop punk than rock, but more rock than their newer stuff.

So... a little surprised, but it's not that bad.

[peachpunker63]

ok, people stop hating on fall out boy. they are a good band and there songs are awesome. i cant wait to play dead on arrival!

[AVC808]

I'm just saying - we need a classic track like "Sweet Emotion," "Walk This Way," "Dream On," something the masses of people unfamiliar with the huge back catalogue of Aerosmith can get excited about.
very true. especially since they actually have a decent amount of songs already from the 70s

[Bakkster]

I'm just saying - we need a classic track like "Sweet Emotion," "Walk This Way," "Dream On," something the masses of people unfamiliar with the huge back catalogue of Aerosmith can get excited about.

My only Aerosmith contact is through classic rock radio. It's one of their more bluesy songs. I wouldn't expect everyone to know, but it's basically one of their slightly less known, but still well known songs.

So... a little surprised, but it's not that bad.

Ditto. It'll at least be somewhat fun to play. I can deal with it, I guess, if I have to.

[InsaneGame]

I'm think im going to play the 90's the most for reason.

[tombrady]

It's terrible, but not as terrible as their new stuff...I honestly can't believe they found a way to get worse.

[MeleeMan]

Hmmm... Aerosmith, Killers, Fall Out Boy. Iron Maiden is awesome, but the others may grow on me over time.... I hope.

[xenopherus]

Compare that FOB song with this:

<object width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/-64ws2U_j9A&rel=1"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/-64ws2U_j9A&rel=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"></embed></object>

Queen wins again!

[toelessfoot]

I'm actually really impressed with the rest of the tracks, i figured it would be all no namers but Run to the Hills, When you were young, Aerosmith! Awesome! Awesome!!!!

[Coldplayer]

I'm so sad that there is no The Cure. :( :( :(

When You Were Young is cool, but the rest is lame. Especially Fallout Boy kinda sucks.

[ThuDogFood]

So...now that we know all the licensed songs I'm guessing that the final guitar tier will look like this:

-Train Kept A Rollin' - Aerosmith
-Enter Sandman - Metallica
-Highway Star - Deep Purple
-Run to the Hills - Iron Maiden
Encore: Green Grass & High Tides - The Outlaws

Maybe trading out 1 song, I think that's what the final guitar tier will look like.

I figured some of the harder guitar songs would be last announced.

and the molley hatchet song

[Ultrace]

I blame MTV, Harmonix let them taint their game. The killers aren't much better.

this just runed my night. I'm gonna go play guitar hero 3 now.

Seriously, get over it. It's one track. Avoid it until you have to play it once or twice in the game and then move on. Every GH game has had at least a couple tracks people hated and decried. Freya, anyone? If you can't look past the inclusion of one track for the fact that there are dozens of others that rock, well...

[MrGrieves]

quick question, why is wave of mutilation listed as a 2000's track

that song was came out in 1989

[Xzyliac]

RUN TO THE HILLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Although I would've preferred Hallowed be Thy Name or Number of the Beast but still.

True...Once again, I'm sure I'm off by at least one song... But I'm trying to get an idea of what to expect.

I'm just surprised Harmonix would let that garbage come near their game, that's all. First hugely awful song to grace a main setlist in any Harmonix game. and don't worry, i went and listened to it before I posted that comment.

[foolosophy]

Aerosmith and Iron Maiden are nice ways to round out the Main List. I'll hold judgment on FOB's DOA, though after YouTube'ing it I'm getting flashes of a guy band doing Avril Lavigne songs. I think The Killer's When You Were Young will be a surprise in enjoyability, at least I think it sounds fun to play.

[admanimal]

I'm just surprised Harmonix would let that garbage come near their game, that's all. First hugely awful song to grace a main setlist in any Harmonix game. and don't worry, i went and listened to it before I posted that comment.

Harmonix would be stupid not to include Fall Out Boy if they got the chance. The average gamer isn't going to buy this game because The Who or Deep Purple are on it, they are going to buy it because Fall Out Boy and The Killers are.

[peachpunker63]

But still man. Guitar hero 3 has a way better setlist han rock band. Rock band may have more things to play, but DLC will be the only thing holding the game together. But i will have to see for myself which one is better, since i got both.

[socco6]

Exactly. It's 1 song out of 45. Get over it people. There were only a handful of songs from GHII that I would actually listen to away from the game. And that's one of the things that made it so enjoyable, getting to play a variety of songs that I normally wouldn't know anything about.

[Bakkster]

quick question, why is wave of mutilation listed as a 2000's track

that song was came out in 1989

I.
G.
N. :p

I agree, they could have done better.

[Keebler]

Does anyone else think we are much less likely to get classic rock with DLC, and that downloadable content is gonna focus mostly on newer stuff?

[sensei]

You cant love all the songs in the game is impossible but even with Fall Out Boy this game just plain F'ing rocks and thats why everyone is here after all. The full band online play will rock so bad you will even forget FOB even exist, kind of bad I cant say the same thing about Queen who can forget about Queen?

[JohnnyFAS]

OK, so I greived over FOB, but I think I'm over it. What cofuses me is the choice for the Killers. I don't have a problem with them, they aren't great, but they're fun. But they didn't pick a fun song, they picked a dull one. I mean Mr. Brightside or Smile Like You Mean It would have at least been upbeat.

[foolosophy]

True...Once again, I'm sure I'm off by at least one song... But I'm trying to get an idea of what to expect.

Yeah my guess would be the same as yours but sub out Aerosmith for Molly Hatchet, which would see Aerosmith as Tier 7's Encore.

[Eman311]

Harmonix would be stupid not to include Fall Out Boy if they got the chance. The average gamer isn't going to buy this game because The Who or Deep Purple are on it, they are going to buy it because Fall Out Boy and The Killers are.

You'd be surprised to find out how many people will instantly be turned off by the mere mention of FOB in this game. Sure, you are definetly right it will draw SOME people in. But at the same time, it will turn quite a few away. For the purposes of the game, i'm sure it will be fun and one of the most played songs in large groups.

Let's just hope the words Fall Out Boy are NOT on the retail box ;)

I hope its more current stuff

[PsycoCheerio]

The song sounded decent enough, at least fun to play...and that's what really matters right?

[WingsOfSteel]

The Fall Out Boy song isn't awful, it's just awfully generic. It's more like Monkey Wrench than like Yes We Can. I checked it out on YouTube and it barely even registers, which is arguably even worse than being awful.

You are right it will turn some people away from the game but if it is too much like Rock/Metal/Oldies or whatever it will turn even more away is impossible to please everyone but at least they try with the DLC.

[GrenadeJumper]

half of the people posting on this thread are acting like a bunch of babies. Awww some song that you[B] like isnt in the game. Boohoo:( :( . Who cares if Fall out Boy is in Rock Band? I happen to like the band but I can understand why others dont. Dead on arrival was on one of their older cds and it will be fun to play I think. If you hate them that much then [B]don't buy the game.

[Eman311]

I will graciously note DoA is from an earlier cd, which is a lot better than their newer stuff.

[foolosophy]

That's the impression I received. Similar to Monkey Wrench with a more annoying singer.

[idiotec]

A lot of songs I love and unfortunately a lot of **** I could either care less about or actually really dislike. :mad:

So the most popular thread in the suggestions forum, TOOL, does not get in. But the most hated band, FOB, does? A lot of good that did I guess....

[Akaymay]

Harmonix. I must say, you let me down...severely. I was hoping for SO SO SO much more from you guys. You could have done SO much more. Honestly, Fallout boy? What were you thinking? I mean, what genius was going around saying, "You know, we could get Queen, AC/DC, or some Guns N Roses, but I mean, FALL OUT BOY IZ DA BEST CHOICE HERE!". Seriously...this is the most disappointing setlist thus far... You're seriously going to tell me that you put down Led Zeppelin, Queen, AC/DC, and Guns N Roses for a band named "The New Pornographers"? I mean, great, Run to the Hills is awesome. But nothing to be amazed about. I mean, all the amazing possibilities we could have had with Paradise City, Black Dog, Thunderstruck...ugh...I can't even think straight right now...This is such a disappointment...

Also, why was the most hated band actually put in here? I really don't like Tool, but they are so much better than the garbage of Fall out Boy. I mean, let's put this into perspective. Tool gets like, 20 threads begging you guys for their input in the game, and Fall out boy gets 50 threads begging you NOT to put them in, and you just defy all that is right, and put them in. They have such a small fanbase now, they were a fad, everyone got over them.

[toelessfoot]

Guys what are we talking about here, music right? There is no way in hell to totally please everyone. I think they did a fine job picking tunes geared towards band play that will please the majority.

Guitar Hero 3 will be alright, but nothing compared to Rock Band.

Well put. I think the list is well balanced and I couldnt have asked for more. By the way its Fall Out Boy not Fallout Boy

[toelessfoot]

Harmonix. I must say, you let me down...severely. I was hoping for SO SO SO much more from you guys. You could have done SO much more. Honestly, Fallout boy? What were you thinking? I mean, what genius was going around saying, "You know, we could get Queen, AC/DC, or some Guns N Roses, but I mean, FALL OUT BOY IZ DA BEST CHOICE HERE!". Seriously...this is the most disappointing setlist thus far... You're seriously going to tell me that you put down Led Zeppelin, Queen, AC/DC, and Guns N Roses for a band named "The New Pornographers"? I mean, great, Run to the Hills is awesome. But nothing to be amazed about. I mean, all the amazing possibilities we could have had with Paradise City, Black Dog, Thunderstruck...ugh...I can't even think straight right now...This is such a disappointment...

It's not that simple dude.

[AVC808]

This project is called "Rock Band" I'm talking about bands that rock. Led Zeppelin...
Don't tell me you guys have never got the Led out. Jimmy Page, Robert Plant? Ring any bells?
What about Sabbath? AC/DC? Motorhead?


:D i guess we got one of them in there... now we wait

[Joigga]

Wow i may not buy rock band i mean this is a very crappy setlist!

[Eman311]

I also may have vehemently been dissing FoB, and i still think it was a bad choice. But you can't compare the cost of licensing a zep to New Pornographers(which is an awesome song- thanks HMX). Also, people are right about the FoB song, it is bad, but not so bad to be a Yes We Can unbearable.

[foolosophy]

Similar to what I said before, but in lieu of the recent events: I would be cool with two albums of Fall Out Boy on DLC, just to play Gimme Shelter in Rock Band.

[ZkDotNet]

Wow i may not buy rock band i mean this is a very crappy setlist!
I'll miss your insightful posts.

[Akaymay]

It's not that simple dude.

Dude, I know it's obviously not that simple. Getting any kind of big bands for a game is hard as hell. But when you ALREADY have in with the bands, they shouldn't be that hard at ALL to get. I mean, Sweet Child Of Mine was in GHII, they should have easily got in Rock Band. People always say the nonsense "They are in GHIII, so they can't be in Rock Band!" They obviously could have been. There's no law saying that if one band is in a game, they can't be in ANYTHING else. But if you turn down Guns N Roses for ****ing Fall Out Boy, that's just pathetic.

Obviously the cost would be higher, much higher for a GnR license over a Fall out Boy license. But is no one familiar with the phrase "You have to spend money to make Money". I mean, I would love to see ANYONE try to compare the Fall out boy fan base to the Guns N Roses fan Base.

If it was just Guns N Roses songs through the ENTIRE game, I would pay upward 500 bucks for it. Hell, if it was just ONE song in the ENTIRE game, and if it was Guns N Roses, it would still sell like crazy.

[socco6]

You'd be surprised to find out how many people will instantly be turned off by the mere mention of FOB in this game. Sure, you are definetly right it will draw SOME people in. But at the same time, it will turn quite a few away. For the purposes of the game, i'm sure it will be fun and one of the most played songs in large groups.
Obviously you're one of them, but I would hope there aren't that many people silly enough (to put it nicely) to have their opinion of the game change so much because of one song. Seriously man, it's one song. One song you haven't even played. One song you probably determined was horrible before you ever heard it. You want to hate them and want it to be such a horrible thing that they're in the game. When it's really not a big deal. It's one song that if you don't like you'll only have to play a couple of times.

[Eman311]

I didn't say it changed my opinion of the game at all.

[the_spike]

I may be in the minority here but I like Dead on Arrival by FoB. I'm not a big FoB fan but that song is decent. Before you go all "Hatey" on me, youtube it.

It'll be a decent song and my guess is that some of you haters out there will enjoy it :P

You can enjoy the song but hate the artist you know.


//edit:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TfiuL4p3vzs

I agree, it's not that bad. They could have chosen a worse Fall Out Boy song.

[admanimal]

I mean, I would love to see ANYONE try to compare the Fall out boy fan base to the Guns N Roses fan Base.


But among the population most likely to be in the market for video games, how many do you think would list FOB as one of their favorite bands vs. GNR?

[Eman311]

Not that many, actually.

[mrcrazypants05]

Do we really know just how much influence MTV really had with this setlist? I mean... really... :\ I'm still going to buy this game on release day and play the hell out of it.

[Mr_GtD]

They already got

The Sweet
The Ramones
Soundgarden
Smashing Pumpkins
Radiohead
Metallica
Blue Oyster Cult
Nirvana
Deep Purple
The Police
Rush
Iron Maiden
and The Who

The really good outweighs the slightly bad in this situation.

EDIT: Has anyone else noticed how many "The" bands they have on the setlist?

[idiotec]

I agree, it's not that bad. They could have chosen a worse Fall Out Boy song.
I just listened to it. It is absolutely horrid. They have worse songs?

[AVC808]

there needs to be some sort of balance. there's no doubt a huge base of 12 year olds out there that dont know anything before the 2000s cuz all they know is what's on mtv.

i'll repost this passage again...remember in the classroom scene when they were talking musical influences? huge generation gap.

This project is called "Rock Band" I'm talking about bands that rock. Led Zeppelin...
Don't tell me you guys have never got the Led out. Jimmy Page, Robert Plant? Ring any bells?
What about Sabbath? AC/DC? Motorhead?

[admanimal]

Not that many, actually.

As much as you and your friends probably dislike FOB, the fact is they have had multiple top 10 songs over the past couple of years. I.e. many, many people like them. They are certainly going to be more popular among the younger generations than GNR is.

[Eman311]

If they only knew what's on MTV, they wouldn't be listening to music at all.

Save for some Brittany Spears and Kayne West.

[CableCarrier]

Do we really know just how much influence MTV really had with this setlist? I mean... really... :\ I'm still going to buy this game on release day and play the hell out of it.

I think they had a lot of influence, in a good way. You wanna guess how Harmonix got master damn tracks for groups like The Who? I'm as willing to bash MTV as any guy, but they've been an almost entirely positive force in this game. If getting the master tracks for Won't Get Fooled Again means I also have to play through a mediocre Fall Out Boy song, I'll take it every day of the week.

[toefer]

I agree, it's not that bad. They could have chosen a worse Fall Out Boy song.

I'm not crapping my pants with the latest batch of announcements, but its a lot better than I expected it to be, in terms of the bands involved (Maiden, Aerosmith, etc). After the last few (Outlaws, New Pornographers, etc) my hopes weren't very high for bigger name stuff.

I can understand why one of the more popular Aerosmith songs isn't in the game, because of their deal with GH 4. In any case, some Aerosmith is better than none, or at least better than a lot of other things out there.

As for Fall Out Boy, I think HMX added them into the game just to mock Activision. The idea was "we're going to put a band in the game that everyone on our forums hates, just to show you, Activision, that people will still like our game more than your game". I think. I bet that's what it was.

[the_spike]

I just listened to it. It is absolutely horrid. They have worse songs?

lol, from a game standpoint the intro for guitar and the drums could be ok. the vocals not so much. i'm never doing vocals on that song.

Those cocky bastards! Brilliant!

[idiotec]

OK, I think I just got through my 15 minutes disappointment.

There are still A LOT of bands I really like in this game. Time to focus on those I guess.

I don't see many high school/college chicks buying this game.

[Mr_GtD]

Did you really not include The Rolling Stones!?

That's from my view. I don't really care for the Stones, to be honest. They're still good, just not on my list of "Incredibly awesome."

[DarkSide]

Wow... how dissapointing. They couldn't have picked a more anticlimactic group of songs to save for last. Fallout boy? Are you serious? They put together a music advisory board for this? Wow.

[angry-boss]

Ouch........Fallout Boy?????? The final reveal really lacks any punch whatsoever. However, I already got everything I could hope for, the Stones, Radiohead, Smashing Pumpkins, Rush, RHCP, Boston! wooooooooooooo! Although I did shed a single tear for Queen (i'm sure most of us did) not being on the disk :( Maybe they will here our cries and make some super sweet DLC content from them :)!

[Oxyplox]

I freaking love the set list.
I could do without a few songs, but hey?
With a track list of so many, there are obviously going to be ones you don't like.
Live with it and enjoy the ones you love.

[toelessfoot]

Dance dance is a good song, who can honestly say that prejudice asside it doesn't sound good?

[Eman311]

It's decent.

[shenanigans]

I can honestly say that song does not sound good. All things aside, the last few songs were lacking in punch I thought. I, like everyone else was hoping for some Zep, AC/DC, or Queen, but in all honesty, the set list could be a lot worse. I think its funny how there are a lot of people saying 'this set list is horrible, i am no longer buying this game!'. I guess the announcement of a couple mediocre songs suddenly made the amazing songs that were already announced a lot worse. Oh well, game will still rock, and I am far happier with FOB than MCR.

[CableCarrier]

Wow... how dissapointing. They couldn't have picked a more anticlimactic group of songs to save for last. Fallout boy? Are you serious? They put together a music advisory board for this? Wow.

Screw you and the lame, semi-******ed horse you rode in on. Run to the Hills is a huge announcement, as far as I'm concerned. Aerosmith? Awesome. The Killers? It'll be fun. Fall Out Boy? Play it once, five-star it, move on to Gimme Shelter. I see no problem here. You people need to get some perspective.

Ok. Have fun playing the killers. lmao.

[BobLoblaw]

I'm just surprised Harmonix would let that garbage come near their game, that's all. First hugely awful song to grace a main setlist in any Harmonix game. and don't worry, i went and listened to it before I posted that comment. It's no worse than Take Me Out by Franz Ferdinand or that song by The Donnas from the first game.

[Axlitis]

Of course, no GN'R. But ****ing FOB? Oh, HMX, disapointing.

Hopefully DLC will have some Queen, Pearl Jam, AIC, and GN'R.

[Eman311]

It's no worse than Take Me Out by Franz Ferdinand or that song by The Donnas from the first game.

I'm gonna have to disagree on that one. But to each his own.

[CableCarrier]

It's no worse than that one Sum 41 song from the first Guitar Hero.

I fixed that for ya. I hope you don't mind.

[SirAnonymous]

IIIGGLLLEEEWOOBBBLEQUAAAACCCCADFFFAEEEERRRR


AAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!!!




Um... Sorry. I'm just freaking out a little. I needed stuff like Cream or Pink Floyd or SRV or something.

Hell, I would have settled for Travelling Wilburys.

I don't care how unpopular it is, IT'S BLOODY GOOD MUSIC!!! All the modern crap that all the kids are listening to can go die in a cold damp hole.

Sure there's DLC, but I don't want to be paying more for something that should have been on the disc to begin with. I really think that HMX got it backwards, The Grateful Dead should've been on disc, and all this other crap as DLC, not force fed to us.

I'll still get the game, and it'll still kick major ass, but I lost a lot of respect for HMX today.

[AVC808]

in a consumer's perfect world, we would have got what we wanted, but this is a business world, and they will save some stuff for later so they can make more money off the game in the long run and not blow their load in one shot. :o cant really blame them.

[Spear_of_Destiny]

one shot? theres too much good music in the last 40 years to blow their load in one shot. the disc would have to have 10000000GB of space. in 40 years, its pitiful that their opinion of flagship music to lead off the game that costs almost double GH3 is such as this. i wasnt hoping for much, but this is less even than i was expecting.

[AdamBomb629]

You have to remember that both EA and MTV probably had some say in song selection. This is now a mainstream game genre.

[Magnet]

I'm going to go ahead and say that Harmonix probably wasn't lobbying too much for the Fall Out Boy song. Like someone mentioned earlier, it's likely a side effect of the acquisition of Harmonix by MTV. MTV wants the popular band that sells tickets and gets TV air time to get in what looks to be a very popular game. It's good business for how MTV operates. For that one less than stellar song, we got master tracks of Blue Öyster Cult and The Who. It's more than a fair trade, I'd say. I'm really surprised we don't have more tracks from artists like Fall Out Boy in here. Everyone should be thankful that it wasn't worse.

[Xzyliac]

Why does everyone diss The Donnas and Franz Ferdinand? Haters.

[espher]

Dance dance is a good song, who can honestly say that prejudice asside it doesn't sound good?

First song of FOB's I heard. It sat on my MP3 player for two nights before I took it off.

It's one of those songs that if it comes on I won't turn the radio off, but it's far from what I'd consider something I really liked.

I think it's a song that's really good in moderation. ;)

Edit: And listening to it again now, yeah, it's not that bad. I think I just got sick of it (much like Main Offender) due to radio overplay.

Edit again: I'll say it's better than MCR.

[peachpunker63]

The only thing that will hold this game together now after the reveal of the setlist, is the DLC. They will have a lot better songs on DLC than in the game. So thats wha i think and guitar hero 3 has a way better setlist. It has more songs that rock.

[BobLoblaw]

Why does everyone diss The Donnas and Franz Ferdinand? Haters. Because they suck. :confused:

[LongDarkBlues]

I jsut wanted to add to the chorus that Fall Out Boy blows - while this isn't their worst song, tis' still terrible - that said, the guitar should be passable, ad with someone else singing it should be a lot more pleasant to listen to. The lyrics are still idiotic, but whatever - why would anyone listen to them over, I don't know, The Misfits? Kids today... FOB is the band you'll be embarrassed you listened to in 10 years.

Screw it, though, because that is one of my favorite Aerosmith songs (although it's actually much older - at least 1956 by Johnny Burnette, debatably the first recorded distorted electric guitar song) and Run to the Hills woul've been my choice for a Maiden song. That Killers track doesn't sound too bad, either. I couldn't be happier about Ballroom Blitz, and I actually like that Police song - the best song of theirs I've heard. That's a pretty good run - only 2 real turds (FOB and Hole) compared to GHII's 5 and GHIII's 5.

[jonfitzsimon]

i am disappointed by these last few songs. Very disappointed.

[ZkDotNet]

I fixed that for ya. I hope you don't mind.
It's like you read my mind.

[KingColon]

GH3 may've had some better songs, but from what I hear, that's all it has. I'm not too disappointed, so long as the DLC comes out nice. At least there's Tom Sawyer.


Some Motorhead would've really torn ass, though.

[the_spike]

How about we quit *****ing about FOB and try to figure out the bonus songs?

1. Bang Camaro "Pleasure (Pleasure)"
2. Freezepop "Brain Power"
3. Anarchy Club "A Single Drop of Red"
4. Flyleaf "I'm So Sick"
5. The Acrobrats "?????"
6. Vagiant "Seven"
7. The Konks "29 Fingers"
8.
9.
10.
11.
12.
13.

So we know about half of them, right?

[peachpunker63]

i am disappointed by these last few songs. Very disappointed.

So am I. It could be better

[Xzyliac]

Because I suck. :confused:

Yeah good point.

I call a Homestar Runner song and Count Zero. And Death of the Cool.

[bmore007]

I went from being pretty excited about this game, to being flat out disappointed. FALL OUT BOY??? are you ****ing kidding me?? There are so many more deserving bands out there then those ****s. They shouldn't touch a game of this magnitude.

[travmeatwad]

Meh, I don't know what you guys are complaining about.. that's actually one of FOB's better songs. They may not be the best band in the world, but they're certainly not the worst.

[Spear_of_Destiny]

over half of the 2000s list is whiny, highpitched, warbly crap. im not singing that. its -1000 points to hetero.
the 90s is a little better there is only "Sabotage" (though i like the Beasties) and Hole i hate.
80s has REM that i cant stand, though "losing My Religion" is better than "Orange Crush". I am most satisfied with the 70s list, they got some home runs there.
The 60s list makes me weep. Not for what it is, but for what it should have been.
Well, DLC here I come! you guys at HMX better deliver the goods in DLC better than GH2 was.

[blue_dragonzero]

Iron Maiden FTW!!!!!!!!!!

With that said...

No Cream or Clapton FTL!!!!!!!

And

FOB.....WHY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[bmore007]

Your sig compells me to go to a high school football game and be a not-so-nice person.

[angry-boss]

ArrrrrrG!!! :( I just decided to give that fallout boy song a chance and discovered a sure fire way to induce vomitting. that song could be recommended by the poison control line, to save children that swallowed harmful chemicals. I immediately put on some Rush to cleanse the pallet and wash that horrible taste out of my mouth.
In other news the Boston selection gives me an "eargasm" every time I hear it! (thats a good thing by the way)

[Spear_of_Destiny]

William Hung at least has a great future in Engineering and has attractive women hanging on him. FOB is always going to be FOB.


What is this music they chose for the 2000s? You'd think it was the British Invasion of the 60s again. The only difference was, they did it better and it was real. this crap is rehash. invent something new, people. maybe the music will be fun, but nobody in my family is going to want to sing stuff from that era. maybe ill have the wife wash dishes or clothes while my kids and i knock those songs out.

[MasterTick]

The only song I like is Enter Sandman. : (

[espher]

Boy, with all of these cancellations and non-orders, maybe I'll be able to get a second guitar before 2008.

Of course, we know you're all going to buy it.

Harmonix is going to have their way with you, and you're going to like it. :D

[Spear_of_Destiny]

sorry to hear that man, its even worse for you :(

edit: that was for mastertick

[psyborg]

Good to see Aerosmith, The Killers and Iorn Maiden. Not good to see Fall Out Boy.

My thoughts exactly.

I guess this closes the door on Tool, Muse and Zombie, Theres still DLC but I honestly feel I shouldn't get my hopes up.

[angry-boss]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0EaNu4vxFjU

can you imagine how much this Boston song would Rock! in this game!??!?

[scourge]

Fall Out Boy? You gotta be kidding me.

There goes the chance to ever when an arguement with a GH3 fan. Try to convince him Rock Band is better and this is all he has to mention.

hangs head in shame

And Flyleaf sucks. Sounds like Avril to me.

[e1duke]

So out of all the "Big" bands that we thought they were going to get, they just managed Metallica, and GH3 got them too, so yea looks like MTV muscle did get masters. Granted I love this game and GH Franchise, but jesus.

ACDC

Zep

WILL YOU BASTARDS PLZ SELL OUT FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!

[Blue88]

Let's see what we have

Aerosmith Train Kept a Rollin' - Meh, Aerosmith never really did it for me, but it should be a good song to play.
Iron Maiden Run to the Hills - I've never heard it, but I've never heard an Iron Maiden Song I didn't like.
Fallout Boy Dead on Arrival - Never heard it, low expectations but it could be alright. It should at least push sales.
New Pornographers Electric Version - Never even heard of the band.
The Killers When You Were Young - Alright, this one ticks me off. Not only are the Killers a pretty mediocre band, they have way better songs for this (Somebody Told Me, Mr. Brightside.) Not to mention I don't even want to imagine the kind of tool that would want to get up there and sing this in front of a bunch of people at a party. Lame.


They could've done better, but they also could have done way worse, so I'm cool.

[Spear_of_Destiny]

something i just thought of....this is the British site for IGN...is there a difference between the north american version and the british?

[WingsOfSteel]

Fall Out Boy? You gotta be kidding me.

There goes the chance to ever when an arguement with a GH3 fan. Try to convince him Rock Band is better and this is all he has to mention.

Your assertion is incorrect.

AFI is full-blown emo; Fall Out Boy is just soulless and bland, not aggressively terrible.

[Schultzy]

Fall...Out...Boy...?
*twitch*
WHY GOD WHY?
:mad:

I feel so betrayed, but then I look at Foreplay/Longtime and I feel a lil better. Plus The Killers aren't bad in my eyes and I'd actually like to see a DLC from em.

But, gah, Fall Out Boy? Really? They aren't a rock band; they're a business corporation preying on the minds of teenyboppers. But, overall, this is only the second major disappointment that I've had with Rock Band, and all the positives outweigh one terrible mistake. Good job, HMX! :D
*thumbs up*

[CableCarrier]

Your assertion is incorrect.

AFI is full-blown emo; Fall Out Boy is just soulless and bland, not aggressively terrible.

Even then, it's only one song. Even discounting it, Rock Band's setlist is so epic that anyone who dismisses it is either mentally ******ed or a massive toolbag.

WYWY is my least favorite song ever.

Fallout Boy is just lame

Love the other two!

[admanimal]

All of you who are saying that you feel betrayed and are so outraged because of one stupid song are even more whiney and lame than you claim Fall Out Boy is.

[masterx1918]

Tain Kept a-rollin= AMAZING. Will be fun and challenging
Run to the Hills=see above. A favorite of mine

I don't care for the Killers or for Fall Out Boy, but it doesn't bother me I just won't play them.

[RiskyChris]

All of you who are saying that you feel betrayed and are so outraged because of one stupid song are even more whiney and lame than you claim Fall Out Boy is.

No kidding, you guys are bigger wusses than FOB.

[Simonious]

Man, nothing wrong with The Killers... but WHY WHEN YOU WERE YOUNG? Sam's Town was an absolutely TERRIBLE album.

[admanimal]

Man, nothing wrong with The Killers... but WHY WHEN YOU WERE YOUNG? Sam's Town was an absolutely TERRIBLE album.

Given the fact that it's in GH3 too, it was probably the record label's choice of what song to give them.

I think it will still be fun though.

[CyN1caL]

Let's see:

Aerosmith song - groovy :cool:

Run to the Hills - WOOOOOOOOOOOT:D :cool:

Everything else new, meh.

[cooldude93]

A cover of run to the hills, and fall out boy?

And people were seriously hoping for Queen and Led Zeppelin.

i heard steven van zant talk about some mysterious "whole other disc for the legends" i heard him promice lots of older songs and we get FALL OUT BOY!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHAT A DISGRACE!!!

What? There's plenty of older stuff on there. Hell, the 70s have more songs than any other decade, I'm pretty sure.

There's a ton of older stuff. It's about time the series (GH/RB) started branching out into more genres and time periods.

There's a HUGE base of players who are being ignored due to music tastes.

Thank you. And that's why you don't see as much 60s rock or metal.

Rock Band is the equation (can we cater to all taste?) DLC is the answer. So shut the hell up about Fallout Boy. Please support the game and it's purpose. Stop turning this into your tunefest. This is universal.

[TheBends]

i don't like fall out boy but seriously what were you hoping for. 4 songs one of them has to suck. On every hero and this game too. It is just that people like music you don't listen to. If you want to complain about Fall out Boy you have to complain about god because he is the one who gave the pussies free will.

Killers, why not a different song then hero?
Iron Maiden, i'll play but i don't understand them.
Fall Out Boy, could be worse... more My Chemical Romance.
Aerosmith, why not pick one of their songs I have heard of GH3 and RB.

[municipalblack]

I'm very happy with the set list. There is basically one song that I don't care for and nearly every other one I love. Nov 20 can't come soon enough!

[Catalytic]

The set list is overall phenomenal. For those of you who don't know a lot of these songs, I think you will be pleasantly surprised by the quality of the tracks. Of course, one song does not ruin the whole set list and, yes, it is an obvious attempt to interest a younger crowd towards the game. I despise this song and wish they could have chose some other p**** ass song to appeal to a broader audience, but I will pray to god that this song does not come up often and, when it does, I will grit my teeth and wait for the other 44 very good to great songs to come up (minus DLC).

[TheTogfather]

I am drunk. I do not see Tool. I am sad.

[espher]

I have fingers crossed for Sweet DLC. :3

[ThePaska]

So there were only 4 songs we didn't know about? Iron Maiden, Aerosmith and Fallout Boy? Personally I'm really excited for Run To The Hills, that is one Iron Maiden song that NEEDED to be in Rock Band, I'm really pleased about that. I also love Aerosmith songs, so that should turn out well.

Fallout Boy on the other hand, what the heck? That was very unexpected and I hope I am pleasantly surprised by that song, and it ends up being good. The Killers are ok, I'm a bit upset that there is one more song in common with GH III though.

[Kylekillgannon]

I'm looking forward to Ballroom Blitz, simply because I ant to see how long it takes me to stop breaking off into the Krokus version

[Quinarvy]

My guess is Fall Out Boy probably asked to be ingame, I remember awhile ago I was bored and watching MTV Cribs and they were all "We love video games and do anything for a new game system" *shows Ps3, Wii, and 360 next to eachother*

and yea, at least its not My Chemical Romance who go around insulting there own genre.

[cmg4894]

First, I'm not reading 19 pages of this thread. But, I did read the first 4 and skimmed a couple more at random. I don't believe the hate for FOB. I'm not a huge fan but they are one of the few new bands that I like a few of their songs. As for the others. I love Aerosmith. Wish it was Dream On or Mama Kin but here's hoping for DLC.

[DarkSide]

I am drunk. I do not see Tool. I am sad.
Ha! That made me chuckle.

[Terranova]

Ok i'm happy that maiden are in but why a cover, GH3 has a master track from the same album so why not RB, no one else can match bruce for the vocals, was the 360 GH2 maiden track a cover if so how good was it.. just seems strange to me.

[Desensitized]

The whining is chuckleworthy, so is the dude berating HMX for not including Led Zep and ACDC. Are you serious? lol.

Don't care for Fall Out Boy, but whatever. The rest is fine.

Now for some DLC announcements, please. :)

I'll weigh in here with my thoughts on this final list:

First: I'm disappointed that more 60's stuff didn't make the disc. Oh well, guess that's what DLC is fore

Second: Some pretty sweet tracks there in the 70's. While I really miss Queen, I'm sure we'll have something in DLC sooner rather than later.

Third: THe 80's section is VERY disappointing in terms of quantity (although almost all good in terms of quality). As a child of the 80's I was really hoping it would get a little more attention. The lack of Judas Priest is very upsetting but I can hope for DLC. The announcement of "Run To The Hills" was exciting because it meant the doors are now open for more Maiden tracks. I was a little disappointed due to the fact that it's a cover, but not heartbroken. They probably couldn't obtain a master track and in the past their Maiden covers have been pretty good, not great but pretty good ("The Trooper" and "Wrathchild"). Actually I really hope to see their previous two tracks added via DLC as well as the entire album of "Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son". We need a lot of 80's DLC to offset the imblanace here

Fourth: The 90's looks amazing for a decade I absolutely despised musically. It's like Harmonix picked all of the good tracks from that era.

Finally: The 00's looks atrocious. That's more a reflection on music today than on Harmonix's choices. I understand why they choose so many tracks from this era, but still I would have liked to have seen them use those selections for more 80's tracks. Oh well, it's all marketing for you. And while I disagree with choosing Fallout Boy (are they even considered music?) I understand why they were chosen.

Overall, the set list looks great and I can't wait to play this game!!! Bring on the DLC!

[tucsonovernite]

It's seems many poster's deeply buried self-esteem issues have been brought to the surface by the accouncement of (gasp!) Fall Out Boy. I guess i'm an ******* but i find it really rather amusing to see the reaction to one song.....I know, I know, you cannot fathom the possibility that a band that doesnt suit your personal taste in music may still actually work in this game. Just be sure to make pained grimices as you're playing the track we wouldn't want anyone watching to see you enjoying yourself now...

[idiotec]

Finally: The 00's looks atrocious. That's more a reflection on music today than on Harmonix's choices.
I agree that it is terrible, but I disagree that this is a reflection of today's music. This is just a reflection of today's bad music.

They could of gone with bands such as:

Bloc Party
Interpol
Wolfmother
Artic Monkeys
Deftones

Instead the picked the stuff that plays on your local teeny bop radio station.

[Schultzy]

Ok. I won't deny it. I was terribly disappointed when I found out what the remaining songs were, as were a lot of other people here. Some bands which will remain unmentioned (*cough cough* Fall Out Boy *cough cough*) are probably not the BEST choice for Rock Band, but it was the best in Harmonix's eyes for this game, which is good enough for me. Believe me, I was pretty pissed too when I read the final setlist, but Rock Band still has great potential here. I mean, just look at the albums they could use for DLC:

Boston - Boston http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boston_%28album%29
- Has such songs as "More Than a Feeling", "Peace of Mind", "Rock n Roll Band", and "Smokin", four of the most famous songs by Boston. This album would be amazing for Rock Band and if this ever gets put up as DLC it automatically counters the disappointments in Rock Band.

Combat Rock - The Clash http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Combat_Rock
- The only song I really knew from this album other than "Should I Stay or Should I Go" was "Rock The Casbah", but after listening to this album, it would be pretty good as a DLC Album.

Stadium Arcadium - Red Hot Chili Peppers http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stadium_Arcadium
- This album has some amazing songs that incorporate all the instruments in Rock Band. I would love to see this album as DLC.

Sam's Town - The Killers http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sams_town
- I know I'm gonna get flamed for this one, but this album is actually quite good. It is reminiscent of classic rock albums and some songs even sound like they are, while still having the feel of a new age band. Like Stadium Arcadium, it has great parts for all the instruments and would be pretty fun to play.

Now, I'm not saying that any of those albums are to become DLC, but I think those would be good choices if any. Rock Band still has a lot to offer us, after it has already given us so much. Sure there's gonna be a few songs here and there that isn't gonna please everyone, but Rock Band still has so much to offer!

In any case, Rock Band is still #1 in my book! Good work Harmonix! :D

I agree the 00's have a pretty poor selection, but there are a few gems, Queens of the Stone Age and the Chilis will be fun as hell, and I can see the jet song altough simple turning out to be a favourite.

"Know Your Rights" for DLC!

"This Is A Public Service Announcement.... With Guitars!!!"

Man I'd love to sing that line!

Still, I'd rather them release "London Calling" as DLC, it's a much more consistent and exciting album than Combat Rock.

All of which are on the same level of the chosen tracks for me. It's just my personal opinion of course.

Anyways, they were all chosen for marketing reasons of course. We can't have a game that just caters to us musical elite, can we?...... Hmmmmm... nah, we're probably too small a minority to sustain a game.

Anyways, DLC offers a million and one opportunities for any of our favorite bands to make it into this game, so nobody should really be complaining.

[CableCarrier]

If the Stones get a DLC album, I hope it's Beggars Banquet, not Let It Bleed, if only for Jumping Jack Flash and Street Fighting Man.

BLASPHEMY!!!

[sushi111]

Honestly theres some fantastic music today that could have been in this game, and I feel like some of it was actually displayed.

Heres the songs I would have kept:

The Hives "Main Offender"
The Strokes "Reptilia"
Jet "Are You Gonna Be My Girl"
Queens of the Stone Age "Go With the Flow"
Nine Inch Nails "The Hand That Feeds"
Yeah Yeah Yeahs "Maps"
New Pornographers "Electric Version"

I would have took this out:

OK Go "Here It Goes Again"
Red Hot Chili Peppers "Dani California"
Coheed & Cambria "Welcome Home"
Fallout Boy "Dead on Arrival"
The Killers "When You Were Young"

And Replaced it with this:

Arctic Monkeys "Brianstorm"
System of a Down "Toxicity"
Arcade Fire "Wake Up"
RHCP "Can't Stop" (Although I would prefer old school Chili Peppers)
White Stripes "Hardest Button to Button"

[CableCarrier]

The OK Go song looks like it's pretty fun to play, actually. Really, all of the songs on the setlist seem like they'll grow on me if I don't really like them at the outset.

No, that was fail

[MeleeMan]

For the most part, Sushi's right, except for Ok Go. I like that song.

[Desensitized]

No, that was fail
Good suggestion. :rolleyes:

[dethklok]

Iron Maiden FTW!

[tucsonovernite]

Jumpin Jack Flash isn't on Beggars Banquet
Man I'd kill for some Sticky FIngers or Exile on Main St DLC though!
