Who ISN'T buying the Who Pack?

[Knights_of_Ni]

Since this pack is already being claimed as the best DLC pack ever released before its even out is there anyone who isn't buying the pack? I for one will be buying the whole thing without hesitation but I thought I'd see if my theory that every person on these forums will buy this epic pack is true.

[BhindBluEyes430]

I dont think everyone will buy the whole thing (untill they see the youtube vids that is)
But at least 3/4ths are buying at least one song just my theory

Once the youtube vids go up i think twice as many people will buy the songs

[Drama 313]

Im not buying any of it,not a fan of The Who.

[Gatorguy91]

not the whole thing, no. Who can pass up "Behind Blue Eyes" "Baba O'Riley" "Who Are You" and "My Generation"

Not me

[Xander730]

I think everyone is getting a little something I mean come on its The Who

[Limelight]

I'm still thinking about Amazing Journey, Real Good Looking Boy, and Leaving Here. Not all that fond of the first two, never heard the last and I don't want to get a false impression by listening to the Pearl Jam cover.

If I like Leaving Here, though, I'll just get the whole pack, because I'm buying everything else fo sho, and those last two would be free anyway.

[Bossman88]

I'm passing on all of it, i dont understand all the hype surrounding these guys, same goes for the Beatles and Zeppelin.

[Bearclaw]

I'm buying the whole pack. I have a guy instinct it is going to be epic, and my gut has been pretty much correct so far (Cars and Preist).

Im pretty sure this is the version of Leaving Here we are getting

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2jtCt7y8d9k

I just love the lyrics " Aww take a train, fly by plane, Im leaving here, Leaving here"

and it has a guitar solo that sounds kick ass

[Icarus80]

I'm buying the whole pack. I have a guy instinct it is going to be epic, and my gut has been pretty much correct so far (Cars and Preist).

The Cars failed miserably to be honest.They came close to "cherrybomb" status.As for The Who, not my cup of tea.

[tepidshark]

I gonna wait and see how they are in the game(especially the live tracks) before I go buying all of it, but I know at this point I am going to buy at least Amazing Journey, Baba O' Riley, Behind Blue Eyes, Sea & Sand, and possibly Who Are You. But once I hear it all I will probably buy the whole thing because The Who are awesome.

[Bearclaw]

The Cars failed miserably to be honest.They came close to "cherrybomb" status.As for The Who, not my cup of tea.
Well my gut told me I would enjoy them and I did. As for everybody else, my gut can't call that. My gut did, however, help me avoid a preemptive Doolittle purchase before watching vids.

[lpfan4ever]

I ALWAYS watch youtube videos before I download songs. I love Serj Tankian and RHCP, but I made sure to watch the chart before.

But, I might get "Who Are You". Running VERY low on points.

[bse523]

I MAY get but one maybe two songs. Doubt it though. Not even close to the whole pack. I get the hype with most people but it's not for me.

[Limelight]

The Cars failed miserably to be honest.They came close to "cherrybomb" status.As for The Who, not my cup of tea.

It isn't the Cars' fault people have no taste. Moving in Stereo/All Mixed Up > the majority of the DLC.


(talking musically here. I'll give you that they aren't the most exciting songs to play in the game)

[Sgt Pepper]

I"ll be getting the entire thing without a doubt. I've been looking forward to more Who since the game came out, so there's not a chance I'll pass up on these.

[lpunderground19]

I'm only getting two of the songs as of now (baba o'reilly and behind blue eyes). But I've watched expert charting of every single DLC song ever released, and have bought a few after watching, so I'll do the same this week. I figured I'll probably get more than two though, I haven't heard much of The Who, and since what I've heard was good, I'm assuming the other to be too.

[BhindBluEyes430]

Limelight did you watch the vid of Leaving Here?

as I predicted so far at least 3/4 are getting some of the songs if not all

And the numbers will jump when people see the youtube vids

I really wish they gave us a preview

I hope at the VH1 rock honors they have them play the songs on Rockband :p

The only vid that I've seen linked to was a Pearl Jam cover, and I was too lazy to search myself.

I tried watching the vid posted earlier in the topic, but it only plays for two seconds before it stops on me and I can't get it to restart. :(

[JJStyles]

No "Squeeze Box" = No buys!!!

jk

[Xander730]

What else are they going to through in ?

weird IDK what to tell ya except go for it Leaving Here is one of my favorite Who songs even months before the announcement even if they werent exactly the Who yet

I can try linking the drums only http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rjTJu1XFpXA

[Rod_Stixx]

I couldn't look myself in the mirror if I didn't d/l the entire Who pack as soon as I woke up Tuesday. It's the freakin' Who!

[JakeFatal]

i will not be buying the who pack because im not really a who fan.....at all

[Johnny Dynamite]

Anyone who doesn't buy all of The Who Pack has no right to play Rock Band. The Who IS rock music.

um NO!!!!!!

[XxMattxX]

I'm passing on all of it, i dont understand all the hype surrounding these guys, same goes for the Beatles and Zeppelin.

I don't understand the hype either. I can understand it for Judas Priest, but not the Who. Not really a fan

[funkydunkleman]

Def. getting;

Baba O'Riley
Behind Blue Eyes
Eminence Front
Going Mobile
My Generation
Who Are You

not sure about the rest.

[Limelight]

I don't understand the hype either. I can understand it for Judas Priest, but not the Who. Not really a fan

If there's one thing I can't stand, it's people who think that their musical tastes is "the" musical taste, and say how they "can't understand" how people can be hyped for a band.

Myself, I think Judas Priest kinda sucks outside of SfV (which I still don't think is all that great,) but I still understand that they were/are one of the primary forces in Metal, and a lot of people like their music and thus a lot of people would be hyped for them. It's as simple as that.

Mini-Rant over, I'm going to bed.

[funkydunkleman]

um NO!!!!!!

um YES!!!!!!!

[Black Rain]

Im not buying a single song.Wake me up when HMX decides to stop focusing so much on all that 70's crap and just maybe branches out into some good 80's hair bands or Metal.I can name a million better bands or artists that would be better DLC than The Who.

Ozzy
Skid Row (18 & Life anyone?)
Poison
Pantera
Michael Jackson (Dirty Diana would be Epic)
White Snake
OLD Motley Crue
Bon Jovi
Anthrax

The Who is just to damn "soft" or "hippy" for me,these guys rank just like the Grateful Dead or The Beatles, OVERATED!!

[Drum Fiend]

Im passing, The Who's music is just boring.

[DuckDodgers]

I'm getting 3 or 4 Tuesday but I might end up getting more later on. :D

[Sarge51]

Im passing, The Who's music is too damn boring.

Exactly... "Won't Get Fooled Again" was pretty much the only Who song I liked. Because it's hardcore and I can smash stuff to it. Be better without all the empty charts and waiting though...

[packerfan8675309]

im pretty sure everyone who isnt going to buy the pack came to his group

[xX_Sandman_Xx]

Everything!

[Charged]

Exactly... "Won't Get Fooled Again" was pretty much the only Who song I liked. Because it's hardcore and I can smash stuff to it. Be better without all the empty charts and waiting though...

You're a ****ing moron. Shut up.

Listen to their music, then criticize. Moron.

Edit: I will be buying it all. Though I haven't listened to most tracks, I, unlike half you balding old men who just want Cinderella or Ozzy, can stand great music. Especially by the layers of the rock and roll blueprints themselves.. The Who.

[xX_Sandman_Xx]

Im passing, The Who's music is just boring.

:o Far from boring. Especially since Keith Moon was one of the best drummers ever.

[packerfan8675309]

Im not buying a single song.Wake me up when HMX decides to stop focusing so much on all that 70's crap and just maybe branches out into some good 80's hair bands or Metal.I can name a million better bands or artists that would be better DLC than The Who.

My guess is you never listened to the Who... and actually gave it a chance.
Don't worry they will give you this type of music evenutally. Livin on a Prayer is going to be on Rock Band 2

[packerfan8675309]

Everything!

Yeah it would be safe to guess you would be getting everything based on your picture

[Sonofmogh]

Im not buying any of it,not a fan of The Who.

Why did you buy Rock Band then???

Seriously, if anybody claims to be a fan of rock and roll but doesn't buy the Who pack... you gotta question them. :confused:

[Sgt Pepper]

Let's keep it civil, guys. There's no reason to get a perfectly valid thread locked because it turned into a flame war over whose taste is superior.

[Sarge51]

Why did you buy Rock Band then???

Seriously, if anybody claims to be a fan of rock and roll but doesn't buy the Who pack... you gotta question them. :confused:

Well, there are different types of Rock and Roll. :)

I just grew up listening to hair bands. lol.

[Fred G. Sanford]

Nothing for me, however if they decided to release The Limp Bizkit version of "Behind Blue Eyes" i'd gladly pick it up.It's better then the original in my opinion :D go ahead flame, tell me your taste in music is better than mine and that i know nothing about Rock N Roll.

I would flame you but you hail from Watts.. and that scares me. :(

Wow,one friggin song whoopty doo!! should i bend over and kiss HMX's ass now or later? Lets count how many 70's songs are in the game or how much 80's new wave crap is going to be in the game, or even how much Metal.

"But hey hair band fans you guys get 1 song, only because we feel sorry for you and hope you'll shut up".

[BhindBluEyes430]

The Good thing about the Who is they have songs from the 1960's 1970's 1980's and 2000's in the game :D screw the 90's

Limo Biskits version is no where near as good. Mostly because i dont think it has drums and even if it did it couldent beat moons. And the guitar is no where near as good

[monkeyfish]

...please tell me this was sarcasm. Because I can't imagine Harmonix releasing something so horrible as a Limp Bizkit cover. Fred Durst is a moron when it comes to covers. THE DUDE USED A DAMN SPEAK N SPELL TO REPLACE THE SOLO. :( Yeah, I really want that charted...

Anywho, I'll get two-four songs for sure, but I'm too poor for the whole pack.

[Sikaris]

Unless something strikes me I won't be buying them. It's definitely not the kind of music that I'd normally listen to.

[spoonytooth]

I can't begin to point out the problems with what you just said. I guess I'll start with: Did you just call the Who Hippies?

[thedeceptionist]

It ain't worth it

[Runesmith]

"But hey hair band fans you guys get 1 song, only because we feel sorry for you and hope you'll shut up".

At least hair band fans have had several songs (Livin' on a Prayer, Wanted Dead or Alive, Down at the Whisky, and Saints of LA) to look forward to. How do you think the rockabilly, ska, funk, and goth rock fans feel? We haven't received any love from HMX. At all. I mean, 1/4 of the entire Rock Shop is dedicated to goth fashion, but we don't have a single song to go along with the clothes. NiN is /not/ goth, HMX! /rant off

Any ways, I plan on buying at least Summertime Blues, Going Mobile (my favorite Who song), My Generation, and Who Are You. Tuesday can't come here soon enough.

[Blue888]

I would, but all I have is my Wii...

:(

[BhindBluEyes430]

I can't begin to point out the problems with what you just said. I guess I'll start with: Did you just call the Who Hippies?

bigger question did he just say the who where "Soft"

Still bigger question did he just say Michael Jackson, White snake, Skid Row and Poison where better than the Who?

[FlameSama1]

I'm not, I MAY get a song or two.

I was looking forward to Pinball Wizard, RB2...

Where IS the ska and grunge?

[ChoirChronos]

Um, I'll get some of the songs if they sound good?

Er, I kinda don't know rock; I got into rb/gh from a friend and gained the fondness for rthymn games from DDR first, so I went to conquer this one. As my tastes don't naturally gravitate towards rock and roll what I like is touch and go, and may or may not coincide with mainstream fans. Apparently the Who is a Big Deal, so I'll look at it, but well, Metallica is supposed to be awesome too, and they just offend my senses for the most part. Won't Be Fooled Again (that's their song right?) is good but I wouldn't have bought it individually.

[Zeleii]

um NO!!!!!!
Do you happen to think Panic at the DIsco rocks?

Edit : To the moron who said The Grateful Dead were overrated... do you hear the Dead overplayed on stations or even talked about as legends? They are on par with being rated...

Overrated? Ozzy, and most Hair Bands

[thedeceptionist]

I know after my last post I sound really angry and venting, but, seriously, you probably have heard a lot of what the Who has to offer. For example, they provide the three CSI themes. Go listen to the 12 tracks see which ones you like, and if you like 10 of them, get the 12 pack (the last two are free :))

[Bearclaw]

I say give the songs a listen to, then make a decision. Some of the songs are must buys... if you are into Rock (which you appear to take or leave).

As for everybody else, please chill out so this thread doesn't get locked. I don't like the Pixies despite constant ranting about their influence on alternative, some people may not like The Who despite their influence on (arguably) all rock. If people don't like classic rock and prefer hair bands, that is their choice. I like both, so I guess I stand alone.

And me and you both stand on two different grounds...

My favorite week was this week Rush FTW
Pixies album was second best for me...

Only thing that could top this week would be a pack like this

Rush Pack 1
1) Fly by Night
2) Subdivisions
3)Freewill
4) Far Cry
5) Anthem
6) Red Barchetta

Anyways.... The Who couldnt come fast enough.... and maybe HMX will suprise us and release another pack to contrast it so everybody is happy who knows

[monkeyfish]

It'd be bad business sense, I'd think, to release anything with The Who DLC, because it obviously overshadows everything. Course, that's what I thought about the Doolittle week, too...

[Drama 313]

bigger question did he just say the who where "Soft"

Still bigger question did he just say Michael Jackson, White snake, Skid Row and Poison where better than the Who?

Michael Jackson is, dude is one of the most talented artists of all time.Great entertainer with nothing but classic songs.

[csjbosa]

Exactly... "Won't Get Fooled Again" was pretty much the only Who song I liked. Because it's hardcore and I can smash stuff to it. Be better without all the empty charts and waiting though...

Listen to young man blues, and get back to me. Believe me I respect your opinion, but not until you at least give all the songs a chance

[smith5879]

I just listened to the Limp Bizkit version on youtube and I want to seriously die now. Ahhh it was aweful. Ahhhh!! The spelling voice?!?!!!

On a side note. The Who is the epitamy of rock and roll. If it wasn't called Rock Band I'm 99% sure it would be called The Who Band.

[DuckDodgers]

Still bigger question did he just say Michael Jackson, White snake, Skid Row and Poison where better than the Who?
Yeah, I had to read that like 5 times because I couldn't believe I was seeing it right. :eek:

[Death50]

Download the who? Oh... "The Who." Bad joke aside, I will have to take a pass on this one. I'm not a fan of them and the few songs I have herd and forgotten were not great to me. I'm not even a fan of the song already in the game.

It would be nice if the would do a full album of a current and recent (2000+) band so far just all classic rock, oh well... it's good for the many fans who enjoy who again?

Oh yes, "The Who." I did it again... ha...

[osteofight]

Vocal is my main so i'm kinda picky because I can't get rid of one song in a pack (I'm looking at you, Complete Control). So now I'd like to listen to a song first and take it in (thx Youtube!). Some Who songs get a free pass of course, but I'll eat the cost and cherry pick the ones I want to sing.

[Bearclaw]

When I think about the live versions, I am comforted by the fact that The Who are one of the few bands that sound amazing both in studio and live. Consistantly amazing which seems to escape some bands.

With a Rush pack like that and plus a couple more songs I'd never be seen again

[TKS]

i'm not buying any . if won't get fooled again and the seeker are anything to go by then i can honestly say i hate the who ( don't know any of them except for those two)

[Bearclaw]

i'm not buying any . if won't get fooled again and the seeker are anything to go by then i can honestly say i hate the who ( don't know any of them except for those two)
I'll just leave it at 'listen before you decide'.

[Michura]

There are alot of Who fans out there who play this game and I am simply not one of them. Honestly, I actually dislike their music quite a bit. I am not saying they are terrible or anything, I am just saying that I can't stand their music personally. That said, I am quite glad this is getting released as I know that many people have been waiting for Who songs. Hope you guys enjoys them, but you will have to enjoy them without me.

[spoonytooth]

i'm not buying any . if won't get fooled again and the seeker are anything to go by then i can honestly say i hate the who ( don't know any of them except for those two)
I just can't comprehend how someone can listen to The Seeker, and Won't Get Fooled Again, and think "this song is bad"

It just blows my mind. I guess I am still trying to deal with the fact that people have some pretty weird tastes in music.

[SKooT182]

My 360 is out of commission at the moment, so nothing for a few weeks... but I'll be getting a few of them eventually. Baba, Behind Blue Eyes, My Generation, Who Are You; most likely.

[Chief Stubbs]

I'm just getting Baba O'Riley and Behind Blue Eyes. I'm saving the other ten and the other seven Judas Priest songs for impulse buys.

[BrutalBrian]

Chalk up another one for nto buying the whole thing but am buying a few.
I will have to listen to the previews first, just in case....

[Xygni]

I just can't comprehend how someone can listen to The Seeker, and Won't Get Fooled Again, and think "this song is bad"

It blows my mind too. ESPECIALLY Won't Get Fooled Again. I can't believe anyone can listen to that without loving it...

Though I'm assuming the people who do are more into newer music.

[zola25]

I'm passing on all of it, i dont understand all the hype surrounding these guys, same goes for the Beatles and Zeppelin.

Because this is called ROCK BAND! - Not pop band, folk band or hiphop band:)
Fair enough if you don´t like The Who - but how can you be surprised that people are excited with the game bearing a name like that.

You don´t get much more Original Rock´n Roll than The Who. They pratically invented many of the chords too many record Companies have since sugar coated and wrapped in a shiny package labeled "Rock", to hide the fact that they are selling BS-pop music.

In the Words of Black Rebel Motorcycle Club: Whatever happened to my Rock and Roll - And where is the BRMC DLC by the way??

well my fav bands would include Bowling for soup, American Hi-fi, sugarcult, disturbed, weezer, mindless self indulgence, the academy is..., paramore, and flyleaf, and (thanks to rock band) the pixies, and the used and my chemical romance, and jimmy eat world


take that as you will , i don't really care what you think of my taste in music

[OakTea]

I think some Pixies fans are about to get very angry. ;)

[/justkidding]

[PaperMario21]

question:"Who ISN'T buying the Who Pack?"
answer:"fool."
and probably the same people who are buying all american rejects, blink182 will be passing on who, - fools I tell you.
I'm sick of seeing those bands as the only dlc people are having(surprisingly big number - scary).
who is the best band we'll get in a rockband, everything with keith moon's drumming will never get old.
guitar and bass, vocals - epic as well.

[csjbosa]

Dude, i listen to Sugarcult, weezer, TAI..., paramore, pixies, and JEW, and I gaurantee you that every single one of those bands has been influenced in some way by the Who. In particular MCR, given their grandiose nature (I.E. the black parade:Tommy = Rock opera). Why do you think punk bands smashed their guitars? Because The Who did.

Mod music is the foundation for punk, emo, and some metal because of its rebellious nature. The bottom line is that The Who's music was in its own way a revolution. If you can't give them a real chance and try to actually understand the lyrics, then you can't possibly begin to understand it. And if you can't or refuse to understand it, how can you argue that you honestly don't like it.

Give it a chance.

[HubbubJub]

It would be nice if the would do a full album of a current and recent (2000+) band so far just all classic rock, oh well... it's good for the many fans who enjoy who again?

Erm, Judas Priest is metal, The Cars is new wave, and The Pixies is alternative...what's this about classic rock albums? (If you count the Boston pack as an album, then there's still only one out of four.) You should count the music by decades, 00s music far outweighs the rest proportionally (especially because we're not out of the 00s yet...)

[InsoFox]

Since this pack is already being claimed as the best DLC pack ever released

Well, that's only being claimed by the people who are going to buy it anyway... so I'm not sure what your point is. :confused:

For the record, I'll most likely get a few of the tracks. I estimate 4-6.

Yes, I like some of the songs a whole lot.
No, I don't think this is the most amazing spectacle anyone has ever seen.
Yes, you're free to be hugely excited about it.
No, that doesn't mean I have to be just as excited.

I'm sure there are loads of people who will skip it or just pick and choose like me.

[TuesdaysGone]

Everyone who doesn't buy at least Baba O'Riley should be banned from the game until they do. TEENAGE WASTELAND! It's only TEENAGE WASTELAND! TEENAGE WASTELAND! YAY!

[PaperMario21]

i'm not! atleast not the entire thing at once. i'll pick up a couple and maybe a few here and there, but i doubt i'll want it all.

and its not the best ever. nothing beats the bostn pack. boston > all.

pfft...boston was great but compared to the who, small potatoes hehe.
ba..ba..babe...please don't leave here,
talking 'bout my generation....why don't you all fffff......fade away...,
who the f#*ck are you?,
....beep beep...watch tax man miss me - I'm mobile!,
young man ain't got nothing these days,
it's the summertime blues,
it's only baba's wasteland,
nothing to say, nothing to fear, nothing to see..,
and now the family is complete - with me on the street or here on the beach...
this pack is going to be epic people, everybody buy it!!!
going online on tuesday and want everyone to have it!
you cheapskates :p

[Samuel346]

I actually won't be purchasing it. But I trade on the PSN is in order.

[fatalvendetta]

I might pass to save up the money for the ION drum kit and the real stratocaster controller. :(

Edit: Scratch that. I just remembered that I already purchased the MS points for The Who pack. So yes; I'm getting the whole thing.

[captainsamus]

question:"Who ISN'T buying the Who Pack?"
answer:"fool."
and probably the same people who are buying all american rejects, blink182 will be passing on who, - fools I tell you.
I'm sick of seeing those bands as the only dlc people are having(surprisingly big number - scary).
who is the best band we'll get in a rockband, everything with keith moon's drumming will never get old.
guitar and bass, vocals - epic as well.

Hey, I like those bands and I'm getting about half of the Who pack. There are those of us who can appreciate all kinds of music.

Plus, how can anyone pass up buying "Who Are You?" and "Baba O' Riley" to complete their collection of CSI theme songs?

[Sayburr]

This is the band I have been waiting for since the game was released! I am very excited about it and love the songs selected... but then again, I am a big The Who fan. I bet I have 50 bootlegs of their stuff, they were best live. Their studio albums just don't compare to them live.

[Soja]

Me, because I'm poor as ****.

[Fedora]

Of course I'm getting it.

How would I play "The Who Setlist" challenge in RB2 without them? >.>

[kingtonyx]

I will get Who Are You on the first day

might get Baba later down the road

[sillystou]

I'll be getting baba 'o reiley, but I'll see for the other ones.

[Sveppi]

Of course I'm buying it. I love The Who :)

[Venger]

Not sure if I'll buy it all because I'm sure I read somewhere there was a limit on how much money you can load on to your entropay card.

'The Who' kick monumental amounts of ass.

[strtfghtr]

“Amazing Journey” - Eh not sure. I liked the song...guess I'll wait for the vids to decide

“Baba O'Riley” - TEENAGE WASTELAND! DA DA!!!!

“Behind Blue Eyes” - This song was stuck in my head all day yester day!

“Eminence Front” - crazy...I love it!

“Going Mobile” - another maybe

“Leaving Here” - I think i have to..my GF has made threats if I dont

“My Generation” (Live at Leeds) - of course

“Real Good Looking Boy” - my least fav of the songs...the vids would have to be amazing

“Sea & Sand” - another maybe

“Summertime Blues” (Live at Leeds) - another maybe

“Who Are You” - of course

“Young Man Blues” (Live at Leeds) - not a big fan of this one...probably not


I know I'll end up getting most of them but I am super excited for Baba

[Keebler]

For the uninformed people who clamor that their favorite bands are Skid Row and Bowling for Soup:

Baba O'Riley = Teenage Wasteland

Take this upcoming week's DLC as a chance to educate yourself on rock history.

Back on topic and away from these terrible discussions of musical tastes, I will be buying Baba O'Riley, Behind Blue Eyes, My Generation, and Who Are You. I might at some point in the future buy Real Good Looking Boy, Eminence Front, and Summertime Blues. So that's potentially more than half of this pack. There's a bunch of other Who songs I would have bought if they were in this pack (Long Live Rock, The Seeker, Bargain, some of their older stuff)

[Sayburr]

Take this upcoming week's DLC as a chance to educate yourself on rock history.
While we are talking about history, "Real Good Looking Boy" is about Elvis... It was on a The Who best of, but I still concider it more of a Pete solo song since he is singing, not Roger... I still like the song, though.

[LibertineStripes]

I'm getting the whole thing. This is the best DLC to date.





I'm passing on all of it, i dont understand all the hype surrounding these guys, same goes for the Beatles and Zeppelin.


Your taste in music must be horribly flawed.

[BhindBluEyes430]

No Im pretty sure its Roger

this is a lost verse that was cut but this is the recording of the song
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3d9_q5iHp2s&feature=related
the drums look like alot of fun

here is pete doing a solo version
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GwMmoZmc9ZU&feature=related I like rogers vocals better but the tone of his guitar in this version is perfect

[quinaking]

Getting the Baba thing and Behind Blue Eyes.

[TheGodFather73]

I'll buy the whole thing, but I don't recognize half the songs on the list by name (probably would if I heard them though). I'm certainly looking forward to the pack though and think it will be the best selling "album" to date.

[Der_Lex]

I'm definitely picking the whole pack up on Tuesday. Early PSN store update FTW!

[afterstasis]

i'm getting the full pack. i'm most pumped about "my generation" and "summertime blues" even though i was initially very against the idea of using live recordings. this is going to be one of my few exceptions, i think.

[Weeksy77]

On the day the game is released in Australia, this is the very first DLC I will buy - and then everything else.

[nicholasenj]

The Who are a nice, fresh, pile of WIN!!!

I already have an ms points card set aside to buy the whole thing on release day.

[daftuprising]

after reading all that, people need to calm down.

I think The Who is great, but other might not.
I'm getting maybe four, since I don't have tons of money.

But musical taste is very opinionated guys, and there is no need for a big argument. I don't enjoy listening to Pink Floyd, but I respect what they did. Don't attack another person's taste because they don't like one of the true Rock 'N Roll bands. Just educate.

[Bossman88]

I'm getting the whole thing. This is the best DLC to date.







Your taste in music must be horribly flawed.


Once again we have somebody who thinks their opinion or taste in music is better.How are you going to sit there and say my taste in music is flawed just because i dont like something you do? You my friend are ****ing idiot, i could say the same thing about your taste for liking The Who.

[Ziiggy Stardust]

This is the first time i've actually ran out and bought points before hand for some DLC. I have never been more excited for DLC. Every song for me!

[BT67]

Please stop bashing people that don't like the Who its their opinion and you have to respect that..... with that said I have 1570 ms points (I hate the pt system) so I either go out and buy 500 pts for $6.25 or buy 9 songs and I could probably do w/o “Leaving Here”, “Real Good Looking Boy” & “Sea & Sand” once I see the charts I have to make a decision.

[an1m051ty]

I'm getting most, but not all of it. I'm getting a LOT more than if it was just Whos Next. What I'm getting so far is
Baba (Most Likely, depends on the chart)
Behind Blue Eyes
My Generation
Eminence Front
Summertime Blues
Young Man Blues
Who Are You
Going Mobile

The rest are... possible, i guess. Depends on the Guitar charts mostly, then the drum charts.

[BigMonkE]

I'm getting every single one of the songs. Best 1600 points I'll ever spend.

[DStone39]

One song.

One song is all, that all the points I have right now, and I'm not planning on buying a card for the whole kitten-kaboodle (like I did with Doolittle.)

That song is probably Baba O' Riley.

[BStu78]

I'm getting it all. If it had been Who's Next, I would have picked and chosen, but I like enough of these songs to take a chance on those I'm less familiar with. I did the same with the Boston pack and was not let down.

[packerfan8675309]

i'm not buying any . if won't get fooled again and the seeker are anything to go by then i can honestly say i hate the who ( don't know any of them except for those two)

There must be something wrong with you. I just can't believe that. Do you like rock music?

[slickpitt]

Since this pack is already being claimed as the best DLC pack ever released before its even out is there anyone who isn't buying the pack? I for one will be buying the whole thing without hesitation but I thought I'd see if my theory that every person on these forums will buy this epic pack is true.

Not me.

Well the past few weeks have been very recent stuff, besides last week. Weezer, MTV pack etc... If you check the store based on year you will find that the past two years dominate DLC even though they are lacking any albums. 2008 has the most songs of any year followed by 2007. Trust me, we have enough new stuff for right now

I do like it though, but lets spread around the love

[TheGodFather73]

There must be something wrong with you. I just can't believe that. Do you like rock music?

I feel the same way about some of the other groups released as DLC, but it's just my opinion. I can't believe some people love The Pixies, hate Metallica, etc... But I wouldn't go so far as to say something's wrong with them for doing so. And yes, I know you were being sarcastic ;)

Its certainly fine to dislike groups like that, as long as you recognize just how epic a release it is. There are some AAA bands out there that I don't like that much, (heck, even the Who I didn't really know and only like 60 percent of the songs on the list) but I understand how epic the release is.

Im just saying it sucks that they release this stuff and people come in here saying "they haven't released anything good in X months." Not that you said it, but check the weekly announcement thread ;)

[A New Pyro Fool]

I just plan on getting Baba O'Reily and Behind Blue Eyes no matter what. After I see the videos for Who Are You and My Generation, I might consider purchasing those as well. I have no intention of buying the entire pack though...

[hankchill]

Your theory is wrong; I won't be getting The Who pack. I'm not a fan of them at all.

[darlenerules14]

For you flamers: It's ok if you don't like the Who, you certainly don't have to buy the pack, but have some respect for their contribution to rock history. They were one of the first great classic rock bands out there, and are FAR more well known/popular than Judas Priest, The Pixies, and The Cars. Read up on some Rock History before you criticize this release.

As for me

I am definitely getting Baba O'Riely, Eminence Front, and Who Are You. The rest are a big "maybe." I like Behind Blue Eyes, but I have to check out the chart first. I have have to be 100% sure I like it before I buy it.

[HPLabonte]

I am definitely buying this pack. The Who are the greatest rock and roll band of all time, and I will not pass up anything.

[DreAdAwaKeNinG]

I might pick up Behind Blue Eyes, but that's only because of Limp Bizkit and his cover of it.

I just don't really care about old rock. I know it's influenced the current generation of rock, and that's fine. I just don't like it. *shrugs* Too slow and boring, too many guitar solos.

[FlameSama1]

Just give it a try youll realise it is no way near slow and has fewer guitar solos than the average classic rock band

Summertime blues is the prefect example
http://youtube.com/watch?v=t5euZ3YWLXQ

BTW Behind Blue eyes is the slowest song in th pack and Limp biskits version sucks i dont even think his has drums

I just can't see how anyone finds the who slow and boring they are the exact oposite i could see if you said that about other classic rock bands but not the who

i'm not sure about the who being far more well known than the cars... according to the RIAA the cars have pushed enough units (with 23.5 million units sold) to be in the "top selling artists" list, whereas the who have not... however, the who have more individual gold and platinum albums.
i'd say both bands are actually pretty neck-and-neck in popularity and both are absolutely incredible in my opinion.

[afterstasis]

Just give it a try youll realise it is no way near slow and has fewer guitar solos than the average classic rock band


it shouldn't, considering ol' eddie cochran originally did the song in the 50's...

i love the song, though i definitely prefer blue cheer's version...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-kJONgWKFi0

[DarkJ3JB]

Not a fan! No for me. Along with Pixies and Cars I didn't buy any of them.

[bse523]

You can't be serious...

Yea he can be serious. It's his OPINION. You guys are acting like there's no other great band other than The Who.

[airman_house]

nope not a fan....

[Katdaddy2]

Will probably buy 4 or so.

[icecoldd]

I think there is 5 for sure, maybe 6 i'll get... Rest are ok, but not worth the $20 for the whole pack to me, need to save points for something better hopefully down the road.

[BhindBluEyes430]

it shouldn't, considering ol' eddie cochran originally did the song in the 50's...

i love the song, though i definitely prefer blue cheer's version...


yes I know its a cover but IMO its the fastest song in the pack

I dont like blue cheers version just because it lacks the energy of the Whos performance

[afterstasis]

i guess i prefer the song as an exercise in pure mass and heaviness than a display of energy... they're both fantastic, though. blue cheer's "vincebus eruptem" is definitely one of my top 10 albums of the 60's and "my generation" is probably somewhere in that list as well.

[GarryMar]

as i'm not working at the mo i can't get any new DLC, its killing me!!
but when i have some spare cash again i'll buy a few somgs, i'll what the drum charts look like

[Limelight]

This thread makes me sad.

well thats the great Punk v Metal debate Energy Vs Heaviness
I do love that Riff that comes sometime after 2:00 min in

[KaYotiX]

Im buying MOST of the songs but not all. :) prolly skipping 3-4 of them that i just dont know that well.

[FamousLastX]

not the whole thing, no. Who can pass up "Behind Blue Eyes" "Baba O'Riley" "Who Are You" and "My Generation"

Not me

That's the exact same 4 I'm getting :)

[jimjam]

i wish i could get this pack the second it came out, but sadly i will be camping.:( im not saying camping is bad, but id much rather be playing the Who.

[Keebler]

Wait...... you're telling me that Limp Bizkit (not a person, by the way) is the reason you're considering Behind Blue Eyes? :eek:

I don't understand the way people describe classic rock, either. Slow and boring? What songs are you listening to? Are you adhering to the same definitions of slow and boring as the rest of the world? There was such thing as fast music in the 60s and 70s (even if speed/thrash metal didn't exist yet) - fast music is not an invention of this generation. Not to mention too many people equate fast with exciting, entertaining, or simply, good.

You want fast and exciting? Deep Purple's "Highway Star" and "Fireball." Led Zeppelin's "Achilles Last Stand".

[afterstasis]

well thats the great Punk v Metal debate Energy Vs Heaviness
I do love that Riff that comes sometime after 2:00 min in

oh, i appreciate both. this particular song just really hits me (and lays me the hell out) when done in the style of blue cheer...
on the other hand, i'd probably be pretty underwhelmed were i to hear blue cheer trying to make their way through something as reliant on the who's energy as "my generation" or "substitute"...

[Ocyron]

I may or may not pick up a track or two (will have to youtube them), but I'm not a big fan of The Who.

[ppetrovi]

Buying 5-6 and if the youtube video's are good, maybe the whole pack. Gotta save some money for Offspring. Getting that whole pack for sure.

Great to see these big packs coming out.

[chico76]

Probably just Baba O'Riley & Who Are You. There's an off chance I'll get Behind Blue Eyes, but it really depends on 1) how it sounds and 2) whether or not anyone else would want to play it...

Otherwise, just not very big Who fans over here... so this is more of an "eh" week for us...

I am happy for everyone that's been waiting for these songs though. I know it's been a long time coming, so I won't take anything away from you all on that front...

[4-Play]

No really a huge fan of the Who might pick up one or two tracks but that will be it. I'm really hoping to get another track pack announcement this week. "fingers crossed"

I mean it will give them something to talk about at e3 how they released 15 tracks this week and made it to e3 and activision doesn't even have time to show up

I think it's interesting that Activision gets a Prime Time press conference slot, but Harmonix has to do their demo in the middle of the day when people are at work and less able to see anything... (referring to any television coverage)...

Not that it should be an indicator of any quality, but I know I'd feel a bit snubbed if I were HMX when it came to the time placement of those things... granted, I still have yet to see a commercial on TV for anything Rock Band related, but I see GH:On Tour and GH:Aerosmith commericals all over the place (Spike TV, G4, even network channels)...

[erickOnasis412]

"Baba O'Riley" is a definite pick up on Tuesday for me, I'm saving up my MS Points for that! "My Generation" is probably going to get picked up too. I really wish they had "Join Together" and "The Seeker" though :(

[Lord_Mhoram]

I've got 5 songs I want from it. That will do me.

[ASPSAX]

I have no choice, these songs are going to be amazingly fun. Plus if anyone asks if "Teenage Wasteland" is in this game I can select "Baba O'Riley" and say "I think you meant Baba O'Riley, because there sure as hell isn't a Teenage Wasteland."

[HPLabonte]

but... there IS a Teenage Wasteland....

http://youtube.com/watch?v=YEdxnu-PLwQ

[grumpypariah]

would've loved to have pick up a few songs, but after weighing it out.......i'm passing, holding off for stuff that is more of my taste (metal, rock, current).

i may pick up later when i have more points

[oberlin]

I'll be getting Behind Blue Eyes and Eminence Front, but thats all I have money for now

EDIT: Didn't make the connection with Baba O'reilly, I'll pick that up before behind blue eyes

[Jack_T]

I'm not buying it, i dont like the who. some one else in my house is getting a couple of the songs but as far as im concerned i think the who is an over rated rock band. I will say this I did check out the songs before I decided if my generation wasn't live I'd probably would have gotten that. However it is live and I dont like most live recordings this one not being much of an exception. sorry if anyone is offended that i dont like the who but i could have been a lot meaner.

[BevoTheWarrior]

I've never been a fan of The Who so I won't be buying the whole pack/album. It's not that I think they're bad, they just aren't for me. That said, I do have a soft spot for Behind Blue Eyes. So I will be buying that one song.

[BhindBluEyes430]

but... there IS a Teenage Wasteland....


Kinda Glad we arent getting that song :p
I mean I admire Townshend going forth with what he originaly planed to do. and in the context of Lifehouse it would have been awesome. But that song is just boring as hell

I like the orcestra on the heavier baba O'riley part twords the end.

but do you really need someone playing the bowl or other weird instruments

reminds me of Walk hard when he is doing LSD and starts wrighting songs about black sheep and cutting people in half.
"No No No it isent right we need more aborigines I need an Army of didgeridoo players"

[HPLabonte]

lol, yeah, I much prefer Baba O'Riley over Teenage Wasteland, but i'm just throwing the fact there's actually a song called Teenage Wasteland out there, and making people fear it.

[R33DH4M]

not the whole thing, no. Who can pass up "Behind Blue Eyes" "Baba O'Riley" "Who Are You" and "My Generation"

Not me

Exactly my thoughts.

I'm not getting the whole album BTW.

[Adran]

I don't like The Who and so I won't buy one song.

Sorry.

[njndirish]

I don't understand where people think The Who is overrated. The Who is one of the bigger influences on rock. Their R&B styles mixed with more modern rock created an epic combination

I believe this describes the Who the best
John Entwistle, the Bassist, died at the age of 57 in a Las Vegas hotel room of a heart attack. He was with a prostitute and was doing coke. And he was known as the quiet member of the band.

[rockfresh126]

May not get the whole thing YET (not enough points, and go get paid this week) but definitley getting

Baba
Going Mobile
Behind Blue Eyes
Who Are You
Summertime Blues
Eminence Front

Maybe's...

Sea & Sand
My Generation (depends on what's cut...the full thing would have been epic)
Real Good Looking Boy

Eventually I'll get all, but gotta pick and choose this week

[Hockeywall]

If you don't like The Who you don't like Rock Music pretty much.

[Adran]

If you don't like The Who you don't like Rock Music pretty much.

No, I'm just not over 40 years old and happy about that. ;) Just kidding.

I prefer "modern" bands in the game like the Foo fighter, Oasis, Garbage. I hardly play the last two tiers in RB.

[Julio_Strikes_Back]

I'm not buying the whole pack, probably like six songs.

[Hockeywall]

If anyone in GTA/Southern Ontario wants to buy cheap MS points just come to my work! I'll hook up real cheap points. I buy 2800ms points for like 5 at my work?! It's super sick!

[lawrence1103]

I will buy them but not until Thursday, that's when i get paid. This pack is gonna rock!!!!!!!!!

[PaperMario21]

after reading all that, people need to calm down.

I think The Who is great, but other might not.
I'm getting maybe four, since I don't have tons of money.

But musical taste is very opinionated guys, and there is no need for a big argument. I don't enjoy listening to Pink Floyd, but I respect what they did. Don't attack another person's taste because they don't like one of the true Rock 'N Roll bands. Just educate.

while taste is very subjective, you cannot deny of how epic these songs will be to play - trust me.
so in the end you'll be missing regardless(whether its a fantastic music or actual instrument simulation which is going to be amazing no doubt).

[Raykak]

No, I'm just not over 40 years old and happy about that. ;) Just kidding.

I prefer "modern" bands in the game like the Foo fighter, Oasis, Garbage. I hardly play the last two tiers in RB.

Oasis is actually very influenced by the Who. They also frequently cover My Generation.

[XFuzion]

Since this pack is already being claimed as the best DLC pack ever released before its even out is there anyone who isn't buying the pack? I for one will be buying the whole thing without hesitation but I thought I'd see if my theory that every person on these forums will buy this epic pack is true.

I wont buy 1 track. I bought the Disturbed pack though. This is 2008, not 1968 and would really like to see more NEW releases like that, especially if you buy the CD you get a download code or something. Great idea.

[Adran]

Oasis is actually very influenced by the Who. They also frequently cover My Generation.


I think oasis are influenced by a lot of bands and I don't necessarily like all of them. I don't like the sex pistols either and Noel always says that they influenced his music heavily.

I like the My Generation cover though (this was played at a gig in New York in 1999 btw.). I would buy this cover right now. I would even buy a "Hit me baby one more time" cover performed by oasis. ;)

And don't get me wrong, I think The Who are an important band in music history. It's just not my type of music.

[Sengaya]

I don't like the "The Who" songs very much, but i'm going to buy some of them because of the competetive Drum-Charts.

[TheGodFather73]

I believe this describes the Who the best
John Entwistle, the Bassist, died at the age of 57 in a Las Vegas hotel room of a heart attack. He was with a prostitute and was doing coke. And he was known as the quiet member of the band.

In all honesty, if that's what they are or were like, then they're pretty pathetic individuals who are good musicians. Nothing cool about dying with a hooker and loaded on coke, and if you think there is then you have some messed up priorities.

[Birdboy.Dom]

Not a fan of The Who so, not me thanks :P

[instantdeath999]

Im not buying a single song.Wake me up when HMX decides to stop focusing so much on all that 70's crap and just maybe branches out into some good 80's hair bands or Metal.I can name a million better bands or artists that would be better DLC than The Who.

Ozzy
Skid Row (18 & Life anyone?)
Poison
Pantera
Michael Jackson (Dirty Diana would be Epic)
White Snake
OLD Motley Crue
Bon Jovi
Anthrax

The Who is just to damn "soft" or "hippy" for me,these guys rank just like the Grateful Dead or The Beatles, OVERATED!!

I couldn't disagree with this more.

Anyway, I am buying it all. No questions asked. Videos not necessary.

[rocknrolxdx]

I'm probably getting two at the most. Not a huge Who fan, but I think they're good.

[cdestey]

Im not buying a single song.Wake me up when HMX decides to stop focusing so much on all that 70's crap and just maybe branches out into some good 80's hair bands or Metal.I can name a million better bands or artists that would be better DLC than The Who.

Ozzy
Skid Row (18 & Life anyone?)
Poison
Pantera
Michael Jackson (Dirty Diana would be Epic)
White Snake
OLD Motley Crue
Bon Jovi
Anthrax

aside from Pantera and Anthrax, you have the worst taste in music ever

[WhiffleBallTony]

"Eminence Front" is going to be soooooooo awesome. I can't wait to play it. That guitar solo in the beginning will be pure ownage.

[blackplastic22]

Wow 53% of the forum buying a full 20 dollar album? Looks like Harmonix is going to get a lot of extra scratch this week.

[CantStopTheHopp]

I might get a couple songs, but the only way I'd spend that much money was if it was one of my favorite bands. The Who (and most "classic rock") are just not my favorite.

[QueensoftheStoneAge]

At least 3 or 4, and maybe more depending on the charts.

[human_equation]

I'm buying 4 or 5 songs from the pack.

[SilentCricket]

so you are saying that the Who are not even going to buy their own pack? why those ungrateful sods.

;)

[PaperMario21]

I feel actually very sorry for people skipping this infinitely amazing album, you really don't know what you're missing on.

[T-Hybrid]

I won't. I've stood by my guns on this one, not buying full albums are artist packs. I've been shooting for variety first. And there's been a TON of songs by artists not on disc that I've foudn myself not needing to grab a ton of artists over and over again.

I'll probably get a few (I mean come on..."CSI Theme Marathon" is too epic to pass up)

Some bands just simply cannot be represented with one song...

I'll use Baba O' Riley as an example. Sure, it's an awesome song, and people would be mad to not get it. However, it is really not the most interesting song to play by them. People would simply want more Who.

[Vardoc]

plan to buy them all making it the second album (is it classed as a album or best of :/) that iv brough since Judus Priest

[dirty_bird32]

I'm getting them all as soon as they're up on the marketplace

[Eddie_Banks]

The Who is a great band but certainly overhyped. I personally don't like their music so I won't be getting any of it.

[Sengaya]

finally got Behind Blue Eyes and Who are You
