The Absolute Best Song for Rock Band

[SubtleScream]

Rockstar - Nickelback

Look up the lyrics if you don't know the song, you'll agree once you read them.

[CrasErit_83]

I just can't agree. It isn't complex enough, and who needs a song to remind them of why they play this game and not actually go forth and rock?

It may be the partier's Rock Band song, but that's about it. Definitely not "best" song by a long shot for the game.

[JimmyRyan]

Worst song ever. Okay, maybe not ever, but still a terrible, terrible song.

[BevoTheWarrior]

Not even if it was free.

[Hungryfreak]

Not even if it was free.

Not even if they paid me. Well, actually then, I would take the money then delete it from my playlist. What can I say? I'm greedy.

If this was Metal Band, then Metal Command by Exodus would be perfect.

[thedeceptionist]

No. Just no.

[Broken Phylum]

I was expecting Everlong from the Foo Fighters

[Mystlyfe77]

Sounds like a resounding NO. And for good reason. Nickelback sucks.

[Ultimatum]

This is the absolute WORST song for RB, that is one of the most stereotypical songs ever written.

[Chief Stubbs]

Not a big fan of hacks with no talent whatsoever, that they show, unimaginative song writing, and star complexes.

[Transbrak]

the worst song for rock band??? how about the worst song ever....geez

can we say cookie cutter everything....they do appeal to the white trash crowd though you gotta give them that.

[JimmyRyan]

It's not so much that I hate Nickelback. Some of their songs are okay. Not great, but okay to listen to.

Rockstar is by far their worst song. It's almost as bad a "Sorry" by Buck Cherry. They are cookie-cutter cash-in songs made solely for radio airtime, and by God do they get far too much of it.

[BigMonkE]

Lololololol

[sorgen]

No, the absolute best song for rockband is

Payback - Slayer

Look up the lyrics and you'll see why

[bierfaht]

Wrong.

Listen to the lyrics. It will Change your life.
True.

[e r r o r]

Derek and the Dominos - Little Wing

I can't seem to find a video of it for you to hear, sorry.

Lots of guitar, drums, and vocals.

[Ultimatum]

Would it be crazy to think that Stars by Hear N' Aid would be good for RB? It's perfect to make an appearance on a commercial XD

[JimmyRyan]

Lol. Does he come with a translator, because I'm honestly understanding like, every fifth word he's saying.

[pan3kill3r]

good song (Kinda)... not the best.

[smith5879]

Personally I think the worst song of all time is the cover of Behind Blue Eyes by Limp Bizkit. Every genre ever included. I hate them for what they did to a classic The Who song.

[sitbooboosit]

Worst song ever. Okay, maybe not ever, but still a terrible, terrible song.

I couldn't say it better. Nickelback just makes me shudder. I would download the entire soundtrack to High School Musical 2 before I would pay two dollars for a Nickelback song.

The Gentle Art Of Making Enemies

The words are so familiar-
all the same greats, the same mistakes
It doesn't have to be like this

If you don't make a friend now
One might make you
So learn
The gentle art of making enemies

Don't look so surprised
Happy birthday...f#$ker
Blow that candle out,
We're gonna kick you, kick you

[Don't say you're not because you are]
[Don't say you're not because you are]
[History tells us that you are]
[History tells us that you are]

And all you need is just one more excuse
You put up one hell of a fight, you put up one hell of a fight
I wanna hear you very best excuse
I never felt this much alive, I never felt this much alive

Your day has finally come-
So where the hat and do the dance
And let the suit keep wearing you.

This year you'll sit and take it
And you will like it-
It's the gentle art of making enemies

I deserve a reward
Cuz I'm the best f#$k that you ever had
And if I tighten up my hole-
You may never see the light again

[There's always an easy way out]
[There's always an easy way out]
[You need something wet in your mouth]
[You need something wet in your mouth]

I never felt this much alive

[Toop]

I came in here expecting something amazing, only to find that you chose a Nickelback song. I hope Nickelback never gets a song in Rock Band.

[WonderboyYYZ]

NO
nononono

[JSizzle]

NO
nononono
What he said.

[instantdeath999]

I think we have much better songs with that message, personally. Rock and Roll Band by Boston and Rock N' Roll Star by Oasis, for example.

[TraumaSponge]

You mean a band wrote a song to satire everything that they are themselves?

If there's one band that could do it, it'd be Nickelback.

[tommysparxxx]

i think i went a lil blind when i read this, and then i pictured it in my head and i became a lil mentally ******ed, please no

[bri2j]

nooooooooooooo

[antill_94]

Ramble On By Led Zeppelin Would Be Theeeee Best!!!!!!!!!!

[human_equation]

As others have said, there is no way this song should be in Rock Band...or even exist in the first place....

[Mystlyfe77]

Is it just me, or in 3+ pages of this thread there wasn't a single endorsement of this song stronger than "kinda good". LMFAO.
90% of the posts were Nickelback sucks.

[csvdavies87]

sure hooked us in here, and if any nickelback song make it Side of a Bullet

[TheCheckeredDemon]

This thread isn't about Dance Commander by Electric Six... WTF?

[csvdavies87]

This thread isn't about Dance Commander by Electric Six... WTF?

hahaha i'd buy it for sure

[Sammi Curr]

certainly? maybe something from Yngwie Malmsteen for me, why i really want to be a rockstar.

[Deadman2112]

Worst song ever. Okay, maybe not ever, but still a terrible, terrible song.

I'm not a big NB fan but I do like a few songs by them
but I have to agree that this song sucks

[macdaddy3598]

Rockstar - Nickelback

Look up the lyrics if you don't know the song, you'll agree once you read them.


I'm a Nickelback fan (might possibly be the only one) but I think your statement is WAY TOO bold. There are 100s of better songs from better artists.

I agree, it would be fun to play, but certainly not "The Absolute Best..."

[macdaddy3598]

Fire And Ice would be insane. Although I'm not sure how to sweep pick with the plastic guitar...
