I think it's funny when people say the FOB song "isn't as bad as some of their other songs". That's like comparing solid poop to diarreah. It's alllll sh*t. However, the song is more tolerable than Main Offender. I guess comparing those two songs would be like the difference between a smelly load and one you can't smell that much.

Well, GH2 had that MCR song, and GH3 has an AFI song, if I can suffer through all of that garbage I can suffer through Fall out Boy :(

This will certainly be a 'play only when required to beat the game' song. Seriously, I hope the licensing fees for this song were dirt cheap because there are plenty of other bands that they could've spent the money to get instead.

yeah FOB is human garbage! but be careful although recent AFI has been less then stellar they used to be hardcore punk, and rocked severely. The guitarist(Jade) can lay down some seriously nice riffs.

What exactly is the problem with the band and the song they chose? Besides the normal "it's crap response?" Does a band suck as soon as they are on MTV? Or does it happen when they get signed? I guess I don't know the formula yet. Do you not like difficulty? the pitch of his voice? I don't quite get it.

I tend to like to listen to more mainstream stuff because it sounds good together and can be enjoyed in a variety of atmospheres. I tend to play more hardcore stuff because when its YOU smashing the drums or shredding a solo, its more fun. The beauty of rock band is they can make easier songs more challenging in the game so you get the best of both worlds.

Thank you HMX for appealing to a larger audience.

It's not bad, at least I don't think so. It's just incredibly bland. I mean The Killers song sounds at least fun to play with a bunch of people but this one just sounds like a generic, on-the-radio, pop-rock song.

I do agree with mainstream stuff having a common sound or bland as you state. You can't listen to just mainstream otherwise you get incredibly bored. (Thats why it is usually background music) But with that being said, if you only have one or two songs like that, I think it keeps the setlist fresh. You can't have a full album of FOB like you can with GNR or the Who. You would be asleep by the third song.

Thats Why my playlists at home can go from AC/DC to Eric Clapton, over to FOB then end up with Paul Simon somewhere. (He's got some really good African percussion tracks)

It doesn't bother me. Don't get me wrong, I hate FOB, but it's not the end of the world when one of their songs makes it in.

Think of it this way - If one person who likes FOB buys the game because of that one song, they'll be exposed to better (IN MY OPINION!) music with most of the other songs.

I hate using this expression, but some of you guys need to take a chill pill.

public popularity does not make a song good . . . I'd say creativity, skill, and an overwhelming amount of inspiration do. I'd say that the general public no longer listens to grunge anymore, but I just found smashing pumpkins, while looking up songs on RB, now I love them cause they could write a song.


and I reserve judgement on FOB, regardless of how terrible they are :D

to be fair, it looks like the first two content downloads are going to be old school stuff ("who's next" and the greatest hits of Grateful Dead) and I wouldn't mind a FOB download, I just don't want to be forced to play any song, and I personally do not like any new "emo/scene" music, but I can't expect to like all the songs. And what the hell, may even like to play it (not listen mind you). Same thing happened with "Dead!" by MCR, I like to play that song in GH2. Might not be so bad.

If they felt a need to pick a trendy, psedu-pop/rock band, they could have done better than this (BTW The Killers should not be lumped into the same category as these hacks). This song is just bad ... other FOB songs would have been preferable. Hell, for all this they should have put Stacy's Mon or some other crap song on RB that is at least catchy enough to allow me to tolerate listening to it.

Music is a form of expression. It's art, and it can send a lot of deep feelings through us when we listen to it. Slowly, day by day, through repetition, copying, and the media, music is disappearing.

Mainstream music is taking over real music. That's fkkn right, you heard me. Real music is dying, and this popular, mainstream music bullsht is taking its place. Would you rather hear new, unique things you've never heard before or some wannabes doing something that's already been done time and time again? If you chose the latter, you're in luck. If not, then you may as well step aside and let bands like Fallout Boy walk all over true talent.

In my opinion, they are what I like to call "teeny boppers". Teenage kids who know not a dmn thing about music listen to these bands religiously, thinking they're so "talented", and that they've "worked so hard" to get where they are, and that the skills they possess are far out of reach of "normal people." It's crap, every bit of it. Once you've reached a certain skill on your instrument and everything you hear these bands produce is almost the EXACT same every time, you start to get a little PSSD off that they recieve so much recognition for playing the most basic forms of "music." Just what the hell is so special about them? Nobody knows, nobody cares. They open wide and eat right out of the media's hand.

The media pastes groups like these all over the place. On TV, on the radio, internet, magazines, etc. With so much advertising for one freaking band, you'd assume they're pretty good, right? If you've got keen ears, you'd know in a heartbeat that these guys are the same old. Most people do not question, because they don't understand a thing about what making music is all about. They just let it go into their ears because someone told them it was good, and they take it as that. MAINSTREAM MUSIC.

For those of you who just 'adore' Fagout boy, keep adoring them. That's your motive. It's also my motive to dispise them and wonder when real talent is going to come back, or if it ever will. FLAME ME UNTIL NOTHING IS LEFT, I DON'T CARE. I'm not the only one who feels this way about mainstream garbage, I'm sure.

Why HMX thinks that THESE disgraces are worthy of an appearance in their game is beyond me. Maybe they did it to hook the mainstream audience? Maybe they're just kidding, and will have Fallout Boy fans crying their eyes out come release? Maybe, JUST MAYBE they have some strange liking for their crappy music? Whatever the case is, I don't care. I'm just a tad bit sour about having to beat a "song" by a "band" like Fallout Boy.

and I'm done. Now give me my hemlock, teeny boppers.

At least Sum 41 is marginally fun and catchy. I am not arguing that it is great music (most SoCal punk is horrible (Yes, I know Sum 41 is Canadian, but the style is SoCal punk)). But, being forced to listen to Sum 41 enough, you can at least start to enjoy it enough to not wish the song was over every second that you play. This song is so bad that I cannot even imagine every not wishing that it would go away.

I have an idea for everyone that doesn't like the fact that fall out boy is going to be in the game and says the game took a nosedive or they're not going to buy because of this one song...spend millions of dollars developing a game, hardware, licensing for 45-70 songs (it's your game do whatever you want), hours of development time, then GET WHATEVER ****ING BAND YOU WANT IN IT. Get AC/DC to let you use 45 of their songs, or Led Zeppelin, or Metallica, or a game full of fall out boy songs. Whatever. And then you can call it "zOMG! BEST SONGS EV4R!!!" I wouldn't buy it. The end.

p.s. I do not want the above post to make it seem like I'm a fall out boy fan, an emo fan, or a fan of anything for that matter.

uh, one song from the sixties, the rest is mostly 90's and 00's to better identify with the modern music lovers, aka young adults

I wouldn't call 30 a young adult.

Now come on people Is it very rock to sit here and trash a band that has great record sales and airtime. I personally don't like most of the metal stuff (Including iron maiden) but I don't go about making threads about it. I know others like them so I will play the song and rock out to it once or twice, but I won't waste my time trying to beg the developers to take it out. It wouldn't be fair to the rest of everybody else who does like them. Just because you like a particular type of music, don't try to force me to like it and put down my tastes. HMX understands this and it is why they include a variety of music.

Reading some of these hate threads reminds me of the violence we have today in our schools and communities. You can be passionate about something, but please treat everyone with respect. Hasn't your mother ever told you if you don't have anything nice to say to not say anything? Would you be using the same language if we were talking face to face?

When the 80 were here, I listed to hair bands and and most other "popular music" When the 90s, most of the popular music I enjoyed as well. Even as new bands come out I like a lot of music. I never stop listening to the old popular stuff, my music collection just keeps growing and becomes more diverse.

Don't worry , I won't be posting on this thread again, it makes me sad.

From reading this thread....my multiple responses


What exactly is the problem with the band and the song they chose? Besides the normal "it's crap response?" Does a band suck as soon as they are on MTV? Or does it happen when they get signed? I guess I don't know the formula yet. Do you not like difficulty? the pitch of his voice? I don't quite get it.

There's no formula, no complex reasons, no reason to hate because they are on MTV. It's quite simple. When an "artist" writes/sings music for the sole reason to sell records, they suck from that point. I have stopped listening to quite a few bands because of this. Many of which I hated to do, but I had to honor the art.

There is nothing I would like to do more, than give you plenty of examples if you need clarification


Think of it this way - If one person who likes FOB buys the game because of that one song, they'll be exposed to better (IN MY OPINION!) music with most of the other songs.

That's a great point of view =)


Fallout Boy out, The Cure in, please.

YAY!!


I have lost a lot of respect for most of the people on these forums because of this...

Why...? Because people have an opinion?

Well, apparently in the world of RB forums, knowingly making music that will eventually sell to a large amount of people is unacceptable. Unless of course you try to obscure the fact that it is your main occupation by telling your fans that you don't care if people buy it. (example = Nine Inch Nails)

Also making pretensious semi-intellectual garbage immediately propels you to the staus of a god among men, when in reality if you didn't make your last album you wouldn't be able to pay the mortgage on your house.

Wake up people. There is a thin line between artistry and business when it comes to any art form. If you make music that you know will appeal to a lot of people that doesn't make you a sell out, unless you HATE what you're doing.

Pure speculation here, but I think that at some point Fallout Boy decided; "This is what we want to do for a living" and in order to do that we're going to have to make a few commercially appealing songs. There's nothing wrong with that. Peter Parker has to be a photographer but he's still freakin' Spider-Man.

I don't particularly like FOB's new stuff but I remember listening to them before they got any MTV or radio play whatsoever.

I don't know who Fall Out Boy is or why they're falling but I watched the video for the song on youtube and all I can guess is the MTV effect. I'll give them one song though. I'm sure this will end up being the one song that constantly pops up in my random setlists just to drive me ****ing crazy.

At least they chose a Fall Out Boy song from their earlier days, before they were on MTV everytime videos are shown and before the band sold advertising space to every company around in their music videos (I'm looking at you, TAG Bodyspray and car manufacturers).

It could be far worse--I guarantee there are "hardcore" fans of the band who have never heard this song before, so that'll be an eye-opening experience even for them.

And, as somebody who finds their music almost annoyingly catchy, I must say this. You can hate them all you want, and people do. It's very easy to hate them because the music is shallow and gets massive amounts of airplay compared to more experimental stuff that gets shoved in the back room. That said, I can't help listing them as one of my musical guilty pleasures. I'd never play them on my radio show, but there are some times where I'll look up a song just to mindlessly hear something at the time.

I won't go so far as to say this song will be getting an inordinate amount of play in my Quick Play mode, however. I look upon this the same way I looked at "Fat Lip" by Sum 41. Except that, comparatively, "Fat Lip" was a huge mainstream hit for Sum 41 while "Dead on Arrival" by Fall Out Boy is much less well-known.

I was really annoyed that Harmonix didn't hack into my computer and take every song from my personal music collection on iTunes, I was also annoyed when Sam Raimi didn't consult me on the casting of Spider-man, I mean what;s with that? Mazda didn't ask me over to craft the seats of my car to my exact physical form, which I think is ridiculous, and is seriously making me consider driving my car off a cliff. I bought a newspaper the other day and would you believe that they printed some news about Spanish football? What the hell?? I don't live there, I don't support Real Madrid, idiots! Then some a**hole on the internet made a sarcastic comment on the internet about how I was picking on one detail I didn't like in the newspaper and was making a huge thing and making ridiculous statements.

I've never heard a Fallout Boy song, if I don't like it, I just won't play it and concentrate on the 40 or so other songs in the game that I do like. Why isn't everyone starting a "Complain about" thread for every song in the game seeing as apparently HMX were supposed to consult us on what songs we wanted in the game...oh wait a second THEY DID! Do you think perhaps maybe some people may have requested the song?? So it's fine when HMX put the song you wanted in the game, but the second they put in a song someone else wanted, well then damn them to hell. This thread is absolutely ridiculous and I feel sullied for even posting in it.

Wow Harmonix. Good going you frauds.

If it weren't for DLC, I'd protest by not buying rock band. To make up for this, they have to make the last 5 songs not suck.

Knowing MTV, we'll get more grunge, alternative, or crap.

Good job you sellouts.

EDIT: Oh look, the final songs. 2 of them are good, and they're BOTH COVERS!

This all culminates to a mediocre list.

I don't know whether to blame MTV or Harmonix.

The only reason I'm buying this game is for the limited amount of good music, drums and vocals, and the promise of DLC.

Honestly, I think The Killers and FOB should have been replaced with Muse and Jimmy Eat World.

Muse does Alt. Rock better than the Killers and Matt Bellamy has a voice that doesn't sound so wavering that you think it's going to crash.

Jimmy Eat World handles pop punk with genuine emotion that FOB's soul-less corporate rock couldn't even dream of.

Of course, I would have preferred, say, The Beatles and Kansas even more, but I was trying to point out that the Killers and Fall Out Boy are pretty lame even in their own genres.

I can't help but wonder if one of the first people to hear FOB had said "huh, they're actually pretty catchy" instead of "omg they suck!!!" what the public opinion of them would be. Because after, it was just one big chain reaction of people priding themselves on their music taste, and not wanting someone else to know they liked something most pseudo-critics generally abhorred.

To me it seems less an issue of people generally hating their music (which isn't life-changing, but it's not terrible), and more of an issue where they see the type of people who like the music (teeny-boppers, emo/scene) they immediately reject the band as sucking. It's like that music-snob creedo from diesel sweeties: "nothing's good if anyone else likes it." :P

I'm not here defending FOB, but just a little surprised at the mindless whining over them. It won't be a bad song to play in the context of RB, and sure there were better choices out there, but the threat of canceling preorders and other desperate cries to fit into the nonconformity are a little laughable. =)

Guess where my wife knows many of the songs from the 00's from? Driving with our kids in the car and she has Radio Disney on. Know your facts before you speak. And no, the game does not suck, no rational person would say that, it is just that the disappointment is intensely close to the heart. God, I sound like one of the emos...wheres that razor blade?

Maybe these people are expressing their dislike for the horrible band. I've mentioned I don't like many songs in the game, and many people wanted the last 5 songs to be good. You've got a combination of hatred for Fall Out Boy, and dissapointment, which is powerful.

They are also afraid of what could become, because of MTV.

Not quite hypocritical, I'm not calling people idiots for not liking or liking the song, I'm calling people idiots for spewing on about it like it's the worst thing since cancer and/or calling people who like said song an idiot.


But you'd rather sound mature by taking the middle road, and not having an opinion. Of course, people like you always mock people who get passionate about something they view as stupid, which is quite close minded. Something they seem to hate.

I'm not taking the middle road, I'm taking the rational road. As far as an opinion goes on the song, I don't have one because I've never heard it. My opinion at this moment on time is, I'll play the game, if I like the song, I may very well play it again, if I don't like it, I just won't play it again, just like I'll do with every other song in the game.

"Mocking people who get passionate about something they view as stupid" is quite a ridiculous statement, and passion fuelled by irrational hatred (I think it's safe to use that word) is never a good thing. This isn't a controversial political issue that someone has every right to be passionate about, this is a song, in a computer game that people either like or don't.

I'd understand it if Harmonix had suddenly announced that they'd replaced every song with a Fallout Boy song, again it's one song out of 45, it's not a big deal and it represents nothing. Just don't play the song. There's five or so songs that I don't reallyt like in the game, I'm not going to start threads about them, nor am I going to say anyone who likes the songs are idiots or that HMX have in some bizarre fashion betrayed every single one of their fans for including the song in the game. I'm waiting to see how you'll somehow connect the dots and now say that due to their inclusion of Fallout Boy in the game it was clearly HMX who were the second gunmen on the grassy knoll, know where Jimmy Hoffa is buried and were the ones who shot JR.

Anyway, I've had enough of this, as I said earlier, I'm gone. I do like your avatar though, so at least we'll always have that.

Sure, there's good stuff in there like lettuce (Metallica) and cheese (BOC), but damn... That Fallout Boy really makes the whole thing disapointing. And The Hives too... That's like the second slice of ham.

Gee, I can't seem to tell from 90% of your posts, but I take it you're unhappy with the song list?

i admit, fallout boy is a disappointment. But this is not the first of these type of songs HMX have added.

the equally awful Sum 41 was rather prominent in Guitar Hero 1
this was compounded in Guitar Hero 2 with the horrendous Warrant of Cherry Pie infamy, Mathew Sweet's Girlfriend (seriously wtf is that song?) and dare i say Avenged Sevenfold.

So we went from one very sour song (gh1) to 3 sour songs (gh2) back to 1 (rockband)

so while fallout boy is quite awful, be glad we were spared 2 equally awful songs (3 if you woefully own a 360 gh2 with My Chemical Romance)

this game will pwn all regardless of this one shi*tastic song and remember you can metal scream the vocals all you want and OWN it. so here's to Rockband, HMX, and kicking the teeth out of that fallout boy crap.

HMX just ruined their game. Especially in the guitar aspect. First of all what's fun about playing the same GRY chords for five minutes? The drums is jsut gonna be base,snare, snare, base throughout and Bass is just gonna be GRBOGRBOGRBOGRBO. And to FC this god damn this you have to have a horse sing it for you.

Anyone who likes FOB wont buy this game just for one song, and even if they buy it we can guess they're not into classic rock, so what's the point of this song being in the game?

For the record this is the most pathetic thread I've ever seen on the internet, which is saying something. This is worse than all the stupid 360 v PS3 crap that goes on, it's worse than the AICN boards. Almost 130 posts of people complaining about one song in a game that contains over 50, acting as if HMX had come into their house and set fire to their Christmas tree, while pissing on their cat and taking a dump on their grandmother.

It makes me sick to be honest to see how vitriolic and lost up their arses some people seem to be. Looks like I seriously misjudged this forum and with that I'll bid all of you adieu, because I'd rather talk about all the great and amazing things that HMX are doing with Rock Band and what an amazing job they've done with the game and listening to their fans. God knows if I was HMX and had to listen to all this crap day in and day out I'd say f*ck it and take the code for the game and burn it. Bunch of ungrateful idiots. IT'S ONE ****ING SONG!

Bye!


I think that you are missing the point. The point to this thread is obvious. When MTV says to Harmonix. "Hey, we need more of our mainstream music installed on the game. Kids like that stuff...." This thread will provide the proof necessary for Harmonix to say "...uhh....no. Bad Idea. Our fanbase hated the last crap you made us put on the game, they clearly voiced their frustrations. "

As unhappy about THAT ONE SONG as I am, I never, for a second, doubted my purchase. Anyone that does so for a single fault has issues mommy and daddy need to work out.

Sorry to hear that your leaving the forum over ONE thread. Kinda the same principal, huh......

Regardless....HURRAY HARMONIX FOR MAKING THE BEST GAME EVER!!!!!!

Yup. I agree. The addition of this one band has single-handedly ruined this game. It was pretty much the most innovative and impacting game ever conceived, until they added this song and now that's all been completely invalidated.

Really? ... really? It's like you add one song that the music snobs can hop on the bandwagon hating and the whole forum goes to guitar hero forum hell. Melodrama FTL kids. :rolleyes:

Well atleast it shows our members are really devoted to the game, and music in general.

For Harmonix, that's a double edged sword. You have a cult following, but they get mad when mtv makes you add Fall Out Boy. I'm assuming this happened for a few reasons

1. A bunch of 20-30 year old game developers who are into the music industry would not like Fall Out Boy.
2. MTV plays that kind of crap
3. MTV thinks it will make it sell better.

I don't think we should place all the blame on Harmonix, unless they come out and say that the song is really good.

1) I hate FOB
2) Apparently you haven't listened to this song. There is a guitar riff and solo. It's not Miserlou, but it's not I Love Rock and Roll either. The drum pattern changes about 3 times, in addition to syncopations all over.

So as much as you don't like the song, it's actually a decent pick from a gameplay standpoint. I still would have rather had a different song from a similar genre, but I'll take it.

Since they've seperated all the tracks now you should be able to turn off all but your instrument when playing solo. Doesn't help so much with the singing but it should make guitar and drums tolerable in solo tour mode.

Also Fallout Boy sucks.

Don't judge before you play, MCR haters got a good surprise when playing Dead! on Guitar Hero 2.

Us MCR haters got a bad taste. We did not like Dead! Just because you desire to have open music taste doesn't mean you have to like crap.

I'm going to listen to this song, and see if it's as bad as the other fall out boy songs.

I listened to it. The instruments sound horrible. It sounded like they were mashing randomly. The singing wasn't as horrible as I thought (But it's still horrible).

My reaction during the video of the song was either Beavis & Buttheads reaction to the Milli Vanilli video.

I won't be able to sing, as I will be shouting as I play the song "What were theyTHINKING????" as I do in Cherry Pie in Guitar Hero 2.

I did not say MCR Haters have bad taste.
I only said that Dead! had a good chart and even some MCR Haters liked it; You don't have to like them, i only said listen before judge because thats what im doing, who am i to change your point of views?
If you don't like it, you just don't, i only expressed what I thought.

Two things:

Point one: Fall Out Boy is bad.

Point two: As bad of a band MCR is, Dead! was an incredibly fun song to play. And I have seen the chart for AFI's Miss Murder, and it looks quite fun too. The song could be horrid, but the chart could be fun. So I reserve my judgment until I see the chart. And yes, at LEAST it wasn't Dance, Dance.

my friend bought GH3, i didn't enjoy playing the miss murder song. Just didn't like it, lots of 3-power chords, not my bag of tea.

The song doesn't matter that much anyway (unless you have a FOB-lover sibling who wants to play the song). You play it once then you're done with it. Never having to play or listen to the damn band ever again. But still, Fall Out Boy sucks.
