How would you rate the set list so far?

[Rocker2]

I say very good (8/10)

[sushi111]

Intially: 10/10

Now: 9/10

Still fantastic though. In hindsight I just wish they picked ANY other Radiohead song and I wouldnt really care how good the rest was, I would just giuve it a 10.

[Rev0lver]

5/10

probably will be better than gh3 though. after playing that demo. i like gh3's setlist more, but thats not everything.

[Xzyliac]

11. Bonus points for Gimme Shelter, Iron Maiden, and Vagiant.

Now who's the bonehead that'll deduct points for Fallout Boy and/or Hole?

[acetabulum]

I'd say it's pretty decent... maybe a 7. More bright spots than dull.

[Oxyplox]

10/10.
Blows GH 3 out of the water in terms of track list and game play.
Love it love it, can't wait to play it.

[WingsOfSteel]

10/10

Boston, man. Boston.

[Apples]

I don't know that you can put a number to quantify this value, but it definately has the "soul" or "personality" of the GH1 and 2 setlists.

Honestly everytime I see Radiohead mentioned for Rock Band, I think of letting out a "Hell Yeah!" but then I realize its one of their lamest songs.

Thats pretty much the only thing holding back the soundtrack for me. I have a bunch of my all time favorite bands here and a ton of great ones.

Radiohead, Soundgarden, The Who, The Strokes, Boston, Nirvana, Iron Maiden, Black Sabbath, The Pixies, Nine Inch Nails, Metallica, Faith No More, The Hives, David Bowie, Stone Temple Pilots, Red Hot Chili Peppers, The Police, Smashing Pumpkins, The Ramones, Kiss, The Rolling Stones, Deep Purple, Rush, REM, Aerosmith...

These names are legendary. Everyone can find something to like.

[travmeatwad]

The setlist is awesome.. I don't care about the addition of FOB or The Killers since they'll probably end up being pretty fun to play. And, the FOB song was before they really got big and were overplayed on the radio/MTV.. Plus, it's not a terrible song.

[foolosophy]

10/10

But if the list was just Gimme Shelter and Highway star it would be 100/10

[MasterTick]

7/10

There is too much classic rock for my taste.

[GrayInvisible]

Before the last 5 songs were announced.

6/10

after

5.5/10

Mediocre crap.

50% of the list is bad or mediocre.

25% I haven't heard, but hold out hope for.

25% is good.

If some songs grow on me, and the songs i don't know are good, it'll be a 6.5-7.

The Who as DLC kinda makes up for the crap though. 12 awesome songs.

[Rocker2]

7/10

There is too much classic rock for my taste.

That's funny I was thinking the opposite. I love classic rock but their is only 1 60's song and 0 50's songs in the game so far but their are a lot of 70's and 80's classic rock songs.

[toefer]

I think its easy to think of how the set list could've been better (Queen, Zeppelin, GnR, etc), but I think compared to the previous games, this set list is the best, even better than GH1 (which was my old favorite, of the 3 or 4 games, depends on how many you count).

I'd give it an 8.5.

[dlisapussy]

10/10

Boston, man. Boston.

yeaaaaaaaaaa

[dlisapussy]

7/10

There is too much classic rock for my taste.

wtf??????????

[LongDarkBlues]

I imagine there are very few, if any, instrument-separated masters surviving from the 50s, certainly not much rock, maybe some jazz.

I'd probably give the song selection a 8/10

[Akaymay]

Eh, I'll go with 7/10

Not enough Classic Rock.

[Xzyliac]

7/10

There is too much classic rock for my taste.

God hates you.

[WingsOfSteel]

God hates you.

Yeah, Clapton's a huge fan of Classic Rock.

[Ardius]

Id give it 10/10 from hearing about how great the game is, seeing the videos and knowing how good a lot of the songs are.
It definitely reminds me of the Guitar Hero 1 setlist, and seeing as I loved that one more than 2 and 80s, I think it will almost certainly my fave so far.
The Guitar Hero 3 setlist is impressive for me......but its really brought down by its amount of crap on it. The fact the game is a hell of a lot easier to play doesnt help.

So, yeah, Rock Band ftw! I think it catches the essence of all the era's of rock and a few different genres very well.

[battle_axe_of_doom]

the setlist i'd give a 6/10

[TK-757]

Um, when did 80's rock become "Classic Rock"?

Am I that old?

[mattitude]

8.5/10.

There's only a handful of songs I'm really not interested in, mostly the more recent tracks. But nearly everything else, I'm super-excited for. There isn't really anything that falls into the "meh" pile for me.

As opposed to GH3's setlist, which only has a handful of songs I'd be interested in playing, and the rest I couldn't care less about or genuinely dislike. Slipknot?! Puh.

[ZkDotNet]

Um, when did 80's rock become "Classic Rock"?

Am I that old?
Yes, and so am I.

Seriously, my classic rock station plays many 80's tunes. Won't be too much longer until I hear Nirvana or something on a classic rock station. :/

[battle_axe_of_doom]

they already play ****vana on my classic rock station :(

[Coldplayer]

Although none of the many great bands I suggested are in the game and although I really miss them, I still say it's a very good list with a lot of different bands and styles and, I think there is something for everyone.

So, I say 8/10.

[KaoAtlas]

I would have to give it a 10/10.

Highway Star
Vasoline
Black Hole Sun
Gimme Shelter


Nuff said.

It would be 11/10 but I really don't care for half of the 2000's songs.

[juiceman23]

before fall out boy... 10/10

after fall out boy... 9/10

[xenopherus]

Exactly my thoughts as well. I keep forgetting about The Who DLC, which I am looking forward to.

[undertow]

I trust Harmonix song choice and note making abilties. Songs I had never heard of or did not like, ending up being great songs to play. One of them especially was No One Knows by Queens of the Stone Age on the first GH. That song was absolutely a blast to play!

In GH2 the same thing happen with Rock'n'Roll Hoochie Koo. I could play that for hours!

But if you asked me before I had the game or before I played either one, I would have said, meh, song list is great except they added No One Knows or Rock'n'Roll Hoochie Koo respectfully.

[Tendoza]

I say 7 out of 10 in terms of my personal taste in music.

I think there's a little too much of the recent stuff that I don't enjoy. I wish that Harmonix had saved Electric Eye for Rock Band; but who really knows if it's lost with their fantastic DLC promises.

In terms of fun factor, I would give the setlist 9 out of 10. I really believe Harmonix when they said that they went for songs that were fun to play.

[Spear_of_Destiny]

but theres better priest out there though.

[BiffMan]

Half of the songs are modern stuff that I've not really heard and could care less about, but that was also the case with GH and GH2 and I found a lot of bands that I now like so the same will no doubt hold true for RB as well.

Score-wise, I have to go 10/10 just for 4 songs if nothing else:
Gimme Shelter
Tom Sawyer
Epic

and....

RUN TO THE HIIIIIIIIIILLLLLLLLLLSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OMFG!!!!!!!!!
(explodes)

[Jimmik]

9/10

Garbage, Hole, and most importantly Fall Out Boy

All other stuff - A-Okay

[Tendoza]

but theres better priest out there though.
Oh, for sure. But the fact that they used a master of a Priest song for such a small project (in comparison) leaves something to be desired for the bigger project.

[Xzyliac]

9/10

Nirvana, Hole, and most importantly Fall Out Boy

All other stuff - A-Okay

There you go. I fixed that for you. For a moment I accidentally thought you meant to type Garbage. Then it hit me "Wait, he's a better man than that." So *ping* fixed!

[Bakkster]

9/10

Even the songs that I don't like seem like they will at least be fun (there is no Institutionalized). Even the easy songs have energy (there is no I Love Rock and Roll).

I also think that the choices will do well to show people that songs they thought were simple actually have a lot going on behind the scenes than they expected.

[Xzyliac]

I like that it plugs in the holes GH couldn't fill.

[somefreakingguy]

That's funny! I want more Classic Rock then anything else!

[BobLoblaw]

5/10. There's more songs that I dislike than there is that I like.

[AceFrehley]

10/10, definitely a better song list than GH3. Mostly because the majority of Rock Band's songs are master tracks and just better all around! I am getting GH3 tonight, but I have a feeling I may be trading it in toward my preorder for Rock Band.

[MeleeMan]

10/10 because the set list is almost perfect, and the not-as-perfect ones will most likely grow on me.

[CableCarrier]

11. Bonus points for Gimme Shelter, Iron Maiden, and Vagiant.

Now who's the bonehead that'll deduct points for Fallout Boy and/or Hole?

Hi5. This is the only appropriate answer.

[bls_ironman]

I give it a 9.9/10, with only a few songs that lower it (surprisingly NOT Fall Out Boy, just because they are incredibly catchy)

It most definately kicks Guitar Hero right in the butt BECAUSE almost all the songs are classics, there is more to music than just the guitar. Look at Dragonfarce. I admit they've got some talented guitarists. But their music sucks major butthole. I'd rather play an easier song that is GREAT than a incredibly super hard song that really sucks (*Cough* Psycobilly Freakout *Cough*)

Props for getting:

Creep - Radiohead
Welcome Home - Coheed and Cambria (Check them out if you havent, they kick)
Gimmie Shelter - Rolling Stones (Greatest. Song. Ever):D :D :D
Green Grass and High Tides - The Outlaws (This is one of the songs that SHOULD have been in Guitar Hero)
(Don't Fear) The Reaper - Blue Oyster Cult (More Cowbell!)
Run to the Hills - Iron Maiden (MUCH better than Number of the Beast IMO)
Detroit Rock City - Kiss (Kiss' only great song (I don't like glam metal at all))
Foreplay/Long Time - Boston (That whole album better be DLC)

Every thing else is just gravy (What were they thinking with Garbage and Hole:confused: ). I don't care for the NIN song, but that's cause I don't like them that much. Creep is a GREAT song, but I'm not the only one that'd rather have Paranoid Android right? If they do add GNR (besides the song I mention below) they should add Knocking on Heavens Door. That is a great song.

IF they do do a keyboard controller (which would be sick) they should add November Rain by Guns N Roses (second best song eva) and either Bat out of Hell by Meat Loaf OR Paradise by the Dashboard Lights by Meatloaf, all three of those songs are SICK!

Um, when did 80's rock become "Classic Rock"?

Am I that old?


Classic rock was originally conceived as a radio station programming format which evolved from the album oriented rock (AOR) format in the early-1980s. In the United States, this rock music format now features a large but limited playlist of songs ranging from the late-1960s through the late 1980s with more emphasis on the earlier hits by artists associated with the loosely-defined "classic rock era".


Now..what makes you feel old is that they are playing 80's music on the oldies station. :eek:
The oldies station here anyway had phased out most of the 50's and put in a few 80's

Anyway, I give the list a 10/10

I know and like most of the tracks, and what I don't know will likely grow on me.

[Hastyl3]

8/10.... They went down 3 because of Fall Out Boy... but I'm sure someone will figure away to replace that horrible song. Everything but Fall Out Bi is good but... when the game gets hacked... then I'll buy it.. but until then... music games have screwed me.

[chaopolis]

8/10.... They went down 3 because of Fall Out Boy...

How does that math work again?

YuR bR1lLI@nT!!111!1

[Bakkster]

8/10.... They went down 3 because of Fall Out Boy.

How does that math work again?

one song is 1/45th of the total. So 10*1/45 = 3. Now, 10-3=8. So simple a middle schooler could do it!

In fact, probably only a middle-schooler.

[Bullseye]

Well the first 30 songs, Chronological speaking are outstanding (just about everything 60-90s) but being an old fogey, nothing in the 2000s looks that great, but I'm sure at least half will be fun to play. Notably Maps - Yeah,Yeah, Yeah! and Fall Out Boy flat out blow and should never have made the list. So using my patented playlist rating algorithm, I've got 30 great +13/2 Decent - 2 suckwads - 2 questionable (Hole, Weezer) + The Police (sorry love this band) = 9.2/10.

Compared to the GHIII, which is 28 looking forward to playing and like 40 whatevers but a good half will probably turn out fine but won't want to play over and over - repeats of RB songs + bonus for Heart's Barracuda = 6.5/10.

[Steve171]

I'd say 8/10. It's pretty good.

[blue_dragonzero]

Hmx has a way of turning horrible songs into good ones, so trust me they will all be fun to play.
Now, combine that with the 41 GREAT songs on the list + DLC and the total is...

1/0

Your computer will explode in 5....4....3....2....1.....

[TheRocker]

9/10 Very good some songs i have never heard of before but i have come to enjoy them and i can't wait to play them , but i still wish we had more Metal.

[TheREVALOProject]

10/10
You really covered a lot of aspects, kudos.

[Hade01]

I would've liked more 60's songs and Zeppelin and... Chuck Berry! :D Well, anyway, not a bad list overall.

[IErrantVentureI]

10, of course. You rox me sox, Hmx.

[85_SWB]

10/10

Stones, Rush, Metallica, Boston, Blue Oyster Cult, Sabbath, Iron Maiden, Deep Purple and The Who
Its just great
