Arcade Fire

[Electric_Zen]

I initially despaired of ever seeing Arcade Fire in Rock Band, because they tend to use a lot of different instruments in addition to Guitar and Bass.

But after seeing that the keyboard-heavy Won't Get Fooled Again is being included, my hopes are back up that one of their pieces could be incorporated into the game.

What Arcade Fire song do you think would work well in a gameplay context?

Intervention! Thanks for mentioning them though. +10 cool points.

The Arcade Fire is one of my favorite bands ever, but I do not think they would fit well in the game. By the way, Wont Get Fooled Again only has a break about 1 minute on synth (not piano) and the rest is real instruments.

One minute is a lifetime in a game like this, don't you think? We know they are not going to have all four band members standing around for one minute listening to the keyboard break. They will have to do a signficant rework, like they did with Can't You Hear Me Knocking? to deal with the long saxophone solo.

I've seen live performances of several songs including Intervention, and what really stands out as fun is the percussive stuff and the vocals. So you could do great stuff with the drum kit (representing multiple percussives) and the mike for vocals and additional percussives.

But there just doesn't seem to be enough going on with the strings. Some songs like The Well and The Lighthouse have interesting bass, but are there any real lead guitar parts? That's why I was curious if anyone else thought of a song that I hadn't.
