a game devoted to sell out bands sorry(kurt)

[selloutbands]

i dont get it no deftones,slipknot,stone sour,pantera,manson,doors,acdc,korn,lamb of god,etc but lots of room for bands like FALL OUT BOY i think you have to be on mtv to be in this game.dont get me wrong im still buying it already pre ordered but please try to have more than 7 good songs.this always downloadable songs (for more money)But cant a man dream

[shavethewhales]

I'm sorry, did you actually look at the real setlist?

[AdamBomb629]

Most of those bands would be AWFUL for singing. You are forgetting this game has to be about more than metal.

[icantwaitforrockband]

uhh..all the bands you mentioned are on MTV. As, for doors and ACDC, probably not the easiest to liscence.

I'm sure you'll still have fun! There have been songs in all 4 GH's that I don't like, but I don't complain about them. This game has to appeal to a LARGE demographic, therefore not everyone will like every song..

[rockst01]

I would take 20 Fall Out Boy songs over 1 Slipknot, Korn or Lamb of God song. The Slipknot song in Guitar Hero 3 is the least fun song out of all the 4 GH games. At least Fall Out Boy can be catchy, most of those bands you mentioned are just terrible.

[Bakkster]

In before the move to Ultimate Setlist.

[monstrado]

dude, you've problem never even listened to LoG, the vocal's are sweet, the drums are AWESOME,and the guitar solos kick ass.

I agree with the man up top, Harmonix has reached out to every genre equally except for Metal :(

I understand the singing part is limited but, I can always hope for them to be bad ass

[shavethewhales]

I hate Slipknot, Korn, and LoG and I still want to punch you in the face.

[KingColon]

I voted yes and no just because I could. Honestly? I don't even care about this thread. The checkboxes were there and they needed to be clicked. Both of them.

[dethklok]

Slipknot's song in GH3 is fun... At least I think so... I actually think GH3 is a pretty decent game... not as good as the others, but still pretty decent.

But I don't know about this whole sellout business...

[ThePaska]

Its a game for the most part devoted to good bands with good songs that will play awesomely over all the instruments involved. It really in no way has to do with "sell out" bands, and that in their own write is up to your own opinion.

I will agree with you, I have no clue why Fall Out Boy was even considered on the other hand.

[hankchill]

Man, I would HATE to see the mentioned bands in this game... You've no idea how happy I am that Harmonix has swayed away from the metal stuff, some of Guitar Hero's content is just plain stupid; only chosen because they wanted to find the songs with the most amount of fretboard wankery and nonsense; Rock Band actually *feels* like you're playing guitar and playing with a band. GH3 feels like you're trying to play a game and get frustrated, I feel like I'm button mashing.

We don't need songs from groups like Lamb of God or Korn, because their singing is just, well, plain crap.

[MundaneSoul]

Yeeeeeeeeeah, um, Korn? Seriously?

I mean, if you want to fall asleep during a song, I guess. You'd be slamming maybe three (if you're lucky) drop D bar chords through the entire thing. How is that fun?

thats a total opinion man, In my opinion, and plenty of other opinions I could name 3-4 songs on that list that I think the singing is total crap.

You have to face it man, Metal is a part of rock, always has been, always will be. Metal has been around for a while, and is still my favorite of all genres.

I can't imagine what some of your ignorant people are thinking....Think of it this way...I know for a fact if your precious punk rock was not in Rock Band you would throw a hissy fit and demand that some artists be added to the game or "I'm not going to buy it!" or some bull**** like that.

The fact is, its hard enough to request Metal songs from Harmonix without you "punk rock" fans adding your ******ed comments to everything we ask for.

So do me a favor, and STFU

Thank you,
Monstrado

[monstrado]

Korn would be enjoyable in all aspects actually. The Vocals for Korn is insanely hard, Johnathan Davis is an excellent Vocalist.

The drums would be exceptional fun to play, the guitar as well.

Not to mention, the coolness of playing some slap-bass. The bass player for Korn rocked! If i'm not mistaken, I think he quit...or that might have been someone else (head i'm pretty sure)

Well, I agree that metal is a valid and awesome part of rock. The rest of that stuff I'll leave alone.

I'm a big fan of (some) metal and I definitely think it has its place in Rock Band. I was pumped to see Iron Maiden in there and am hoping for some Megadeth, etc in the future.

[MrNazraq]

I also have to say that I'm happy that Harmonix decided to move away from all the metal that they put into GH2. I loved GH1, but was disappointed in the choice of songs (expecially on the higher tiers) for GH2.

I like most music, but you have to realize that they have to choose songs that are fun for all 4 players in the band.

Some songs I really like just wouldn't go well with the Rock Band experience.

[hankchill]

Korn would be enjoyable in all aspects actually. The Vocals for Korn is insanely hard, Johnathan Davis is an excellent Vocalist.

Someone's got a stick shoved up where the sun don't shine. Pull it out man. I'm glad you noticed my views is my opinion. Then you got the nerve to tell me to STFU.

Looks like you have no problems expressing your opinion here. Is your view higher than mine? No. Does it matter what either of us think? No. Are we going to complain that we don't get what we want in the game? No. Do I even like punk rock? No. Guess what? Jonathan Davis is a terrible vocalist. Thanks for playing. Now you can go STFU.

Thats the thing, who's to say someone won't enjoy a song? If they placed at least 2 heavy songs in the game, who's to say nobody would play it?

Actually, take a spin on it. Who's to say people are going to want to play some of the already acquired artists?

Your using your own opinion and warped view to make a judgement that is not fair to everyone.

Not EVERYONE enjoys singing in a traditional voice. give us a variety of singing difficulties, I personally think this is a biased song list.

[monstrado]

No. Does it matter what either of us think? No. Are we going to complain that we don't get what we want in the game?

You have what you want, please go and die you douchebag....

and by the way, I resent your opinion about Johnathon Davis, after all...your opinion means nothing on this forum.

[dragulaAC]

I like metal, I like pretty much anything HMX throws in their games.

But all I can say is thank you HMX for giving me these games, and I'm not going to ***** and moan about every little detail and song selection you guys choose. I don't need all of my favorite songs in the game to still be happy and have a great time playing it. Plus, you guys have a huge selection of possibilities for DLC, it's almost endless.

[JackBNimble]

Isn't this about your personal taste in music?To bad you think there is only 7 good songs!I guess you for got about all the DLC, who knows what that will all bring in the future?

[hankchill]

Looks like someone's getting teary-eyed. Go cry in your pillow.

You need to remember, your opinion means nothing either. Like c'mon, who cares what either of us have to say? Obviously you care too much about what I have to say or else you wouldn't be so harsh. Oh, sorry, it's because I insulted your boyfriend.

Let's try to keep it back on topic though, we don't need to get into a whole war about something so useless and trivial.

I said that Johnathan Davis is a good vocalist, you've clearly shown me that opinions mean nothing on this forum. This was reinforced shortly after reading your opinion.

I see you've actually taken a simple argument about music and turned it into a joke about someones sexuality, it's funny that you could make such a joke without actually knowing anything about the person your talking to.

I'm sure my wife would be pleased to hear i'm having an "affair" with Johnathan Davis...your lack of judgment amuses me.

I'm pretty confident this message wasn't directed to me. I have never said that there only 7 good songs on the track list.

However, I have stated that there are a few songs I dislike, which anyone can agree with, most of the people have a few songs they dislike as well.

No harm, no foul.

Okay guys this is obviously getting outta hand and we're all getting off on the wrong foot.

No, we do not know anything about each other and we each have our own personal tastes in music which is totally fine, but we don't need to be bashing each other and accusing either.

@monstrado, let's just start fresh, mmmkay. No hard feelings.

[WingsOfSteel]

We have one pop-punk boy band, that completely outweighs The Who, Iron Maiden, Boston, Aerosmith, and others.

Thank you for showing me the light, monstrado. This game is devoted to sell-outs and hacks. Too bad we don't have TRUE, PURE MUSIC like Korn or Slipknot. http://i.somethingawful.com/forumsystem/emoticons/emot-downs.gif

I can only handle 1 argument a night buddy, and your an hour too late. Talk a walk

[Spankyboy0710]

I've never understood why people dog music that sells. Just because everybody likes "Sweet Home Alabama", that doesn't mean it's a bad song. Overplayed, maybe. It's ok to like popular music. Not all popular music is bad just like not all niche music or so called "true music" is good.

It seems like it's more important to be a non-conformist than a true listener. That sentiment is shameful and is directly responsible for the success of certain bands which will remain nameless.

[Quinarvy]

Wait? No metal? Enter Sandman and Run To The Hills have been removed apparently? *gasp!*

Ok, joking aside Fall Out Boy can be catchy and I still believe they asked to be in which HMX probably thought would be easier then liscensing AC/DC.

Shouldn't we complain about Celebrity Skin instead?

[WingsOfSteel]

I can only handle 1 argument a night buddy, and you're an hour too late. Take a walk

Yes, I can see how calling somebody a douchebag and asking them to "please die" would be mentally exhausting. It's a wonder you have enough strength left to type.

Well said.

I think the track list has a bit for everyone. Plans for DLC that will satisfy most anyone. There is NEVER gonna be a music game that will 100% satisfy anyone. I like a bit of everything and I am pleased with the set list as a whole.

Sellout? Metal? Punk? Popular? Who cares. If it's a good song I could care less what the label says.

[Smidget]

can we change the name of this thread to "another METAL thread."

First: what others have said in this thread

-- This game has to appeal to a LARGE demographic, therefore not everyone will like every song..

--Some songs I really like just wouldn't go well with the Rock Band experience

--But all I can say is thank you HMX for giving me these games, and I'm not going to ***** and moan about every little detail and song selection you guys choose. I don't need all of my favorite songs in the game to still be happy and have a great time playing it. Plus, you guys have a huge selection of possibilities for DLC, it's almost endless.

--Its a game for the most part devoted to good bands with good songs that will play awesomely over all the instruments involved.

I like metal/hard rock (not screamo, nonstop double bass stuff mind you) but just keep this in mind. Yes metal is a part of rock and roll, no one can dispute that; it just has to work well in the game. I think we can definitely expect some stuff in DLC because there are some good songs that would work but just didn't make sense to be on the disc - make sense, what do mean? >>

>> Second:

DLC has given developers the option to make the game disc the best possible product that will sell the most immediately, with the promise of more content that they will then have the freedom to have "fun" with if you will, having already raked in the initial purchase and revenue. Does this suck sometimes for certain aspects? yes, in this case for metal songs. To be frank and business-minded, there are plenty of songs that could have been put on the game disc that would have helped it sell better initially than metal songs. But DLC gives them this option. If DLC didn't exist, you could probaby have expected one metal song with the promise of NO MORE. This way, throughout the lilfe of RB, you pretty much ARE promised more than one metal/hard rock song.

idk, thats one way to look at it

[miketoast]

First off I personally think emo is the gheyest music on the planet, I hate it's guts and all the Flock Of Seagull looking homos their music inspires. There just hasn't been good rock since the late 90's early 00's.

That being said I'll play the hell outta all those songs cause it'll extend my RB experience. Hell, I'd play just about any song just cause it's another one to play!

That's what I don't get about the setlist haters, dudes, whether or not you like or hate the song it's on the disc and if you're only playing metal or whatever you're gonna have a super short time on this thing....

[TomPiltoff]

Radiohead a sellout band......riiiiight.

[Axel32]

Okay.. Soundgarden sold out? Ok Go sold out? Bon Jovi sold out? Ramones? Rollin' Stones? Nirvanna? Iron Maiden? Deep Purple? Rush? Red Hot Chili Peppers? Smashing Pumpkins? The Who? Blue Oyster Cult? Boston? Metallica? Radiohead? Foo Fighters? Aerosmith? I think not.

I can only think of one band I know for sure sold out that is in this game, Fall Out Boy. Thats about the only band I can't stand that made it into this game. I wish they could get a hold of some AC/DC or the Doors.. but those songs are to hard to get a hold of. Someday we'll get the great songs we've alwas wanted.

[LongDarkBlues]

Oh, I totally misunderstood how this particular poll worked - I thoguht the question was asking if I agreed that a public poll was ok. The question itself is ******ed. Sellout bands? I mean, by the old definition, being in a videogame at all is pretty sell-out. I don't think most people think of it that way anymore at all.

[LongDarkBlues]

i dont get it no deftones,slipknot,stone sour,pantera,manson,doors,acdc,korn,lamb of god
Also, every single one of those bands has been on MTV - Korn? Manson? Slipknot? all products of heavy MTV play.
speaking of commercial sellouts...

[selloutbands]

i not saying it should all be metal bands but just one or two would be great,and i understand about downloadable content but thats more money the game should have shipped with no SONGS on the disc and we could just download what we want(it has been done before)one last thing iF you want so badly to sing these songs maybe you should be playing SINGSTAR NOT ROCKBAND.also the 2 best bands on there metallica and nin have possibly there worst two songs represented

[Jack_Harvard]

one last thing iF you want so badly to sing these songs maybe you should be playing SINGSTAR NOT ROCKBAND.

Maybe it's just me, but that doesn't make any sense. Singing is a huge part of the game; a quarter of the multiplayer and a third of the single-player. Why is it so bad to mention that certain songs don't work very well for a substantial play mode? :confused:

[Rev0lver]

Okay.. Soundgarden sold out? Ok Go sold out? Bon Jovi sold out? Ramones? Rollin' Stones? Nirvanna? Iron Maiden? Deep Purple? Rush? Red Hot Chili Peppers? Smashing Pumpkins? The Who? Blue Oyster Cult? Boston? Metallica? Radiohead? Foo Fighters? Aerosmith?


yes.

but as a response to the OP. korn, slipknot, etc are sellout bands as well. if you want metal in the game at least pick something decent. im all for more metal but not those pieces of ****.

[WingsOfSteel]

i not saying it should all be metal bands but just one or two would be great

Like Iron Maiden and Black Sabbath, and a whole assload of Metallica DLC to make up for the mediocre pop metal song that they put on the disc?

Yeah, that would be pretty nice.

[HiroXHakuske]

We'll all have to eventually play the songs if we want to beat the game. So just dont play the ones you dont want to. Simple as that. But Foo Fighters selling out?! No way dude. Ironic... you can choose to sell out in the game. Anyways... DLC should rock more than the game!

[caex12]

Like Iron Maiden and Black Sabbath, and a whole assload of Metallica DLC to make up for the mediocre pop metal song that they put on the disc?

Yeah, that would be pretty nice.

It would be pretty nice if they gave us better metal bands for DLC than Metallica

[TheFatBloke]

Lamb Of God's song on GH2 was hell to play. It was incredibly boring, and just dreadful overall. Your thread is a joke and basically all the bands you've suggested are terrible.

Slipknot and LOG esp.

[Rev0lver]

Laid To Rest was actually one of my favorite songs to play on gh2. but i still dont like them.

[Desensitized]

I got a kick out of reading a thread about "sell out bands" in which the proposed alternative is nothing more than an uninspired list of major label acts.
Glad I'm not the only one who noticed.

[Tortiss]

Deftones, Slipknot, Stone sour, Pantera, Manson, Doors, Acdc, Korn, Lamb of God...
All those bands are pretty much sellouts, with the exception of ACDC, The Doors and maybe Pantera. Although I think it would be great for a few songs alittle deeper into the metal genre...such as Wintersun or some other Melodeath.

[OppoKaze]

i dont get it no deftones,slipknot,stone sour,pantera,manson,acdc,korn,lamb of god,etc
That's because those bands suck. Oh yeah, AND THERE'S NO FARKING DOUBLE BASS FOR THE DRUM, AND NO ONE WANTS TO SQUEAL LIKE A PIG FOR 18 MINUTES OF DOUBLE BASS AND INDISTINGUISHABLE GUITARS.


doors
That's because of licensing issues. Jim Morrison=dead now. Rights to Doors music=in some person's hand that cares about "musical integrity."

P.S. Manson/korn/ACDC=not metal.

[Mournblade77]

I'll let Maynard anwser this one...


I met a boy wearing vans, 501s, and a
Dope beastie t, nipple rings, and
New tattoos that claimed that he
Was ogt,
From 92,
The first ep.

And in between
Sips of coke
He told me that
He thought
We were sellin out,
Layin down,
Suckin up
To the man.

Well now Ive got some
A-dvice for you, little buddy.
Before you point the finger
You should know that
Im the man,

And if Im the man,
Then youre the man, and
Hes the man as well so you can
Point that ****in finger up your ass.

All you know about me is what Ive sold you,
Dumb ****.
I sold out long before you ever heard my name.

I sold my soul to make a record,
Dip ****,
And you bought one.

So Ive got some
Advice for you, little buddy.
Before you point your finger
You should know that
Im the man,
If Im the ****in man
Then youre the ****in man as well
So you can
Point that ****in finger up your ass.

All you know about me is what Ive sold you,
Dumb ****.
I sold out long before you ever heard my name.

I sold my soul to make a record,
Dip ****,
And you bought one.

All you read and
Wear or see and
Hear on tv
Is a product
Begging for your
Fatass dirty
Dollar

So...shut up and

Buy my new record
Send more money
**** you, buddy.

Once again Maynard chimes in with epic common sense. Bravo!

you know it is my fault,i should have guessed that a forum devoted to a mtv product,would be full of mtv fans to the eight of you who agree the setlist sucks i thank you,to the rest of u,i dont know if good music has escaped you and you only listen to what is show on mtv or fall in line like everyone else(whatever is popular we love)i think i will stick to gh3 and enjot slipknot,killswitch,inflames,slayer,and disturbed and please enjoy hole,garbage,fallout boy and all the other great bands mtv pushes.my last comment

First of all, there are very few terms more full of bullsh*t than "sell-out". There is nothing wrong with an artist wanting to make money off of his/her work. As an artist myself (I write), I want nothing more right now than to "sell-out" and make some damn money off of this novel I have worked my freaking ass off to produce. Maybe it's just my perspective, but WHAT is the big fracking problem with making money doing what you're good at, be it music, writing, acting, whatever?

Second of all, regardless of "MTV", many of the bands on this disc are not only amazingly good, but influential across all spectrums of music. The Rolling Stones, The Who, Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, Deep Purple, The Clash, Boston... these bands not only still rock, but their effect on music is felt everywhere, across every genre. Even the more modern bands are quickly becoming musical icons: Red Hot Chili Peppers, Nine Inch Nails, Foo Fighters, Metallica, and yes, even The Killers and Fall Out Boy, even though they are representative of a genre disliked by many.

I don't think anyone here has said they were an "MTV fan", and there's no reason to assume that just because we disagree with your comment. Really, I think the one thing that unites everyone on this board (aside from, well, the obvious;) ), is a passion and a love of music. Really, all you have to do is look around the "Ultimate Setlist" section and you'll see the variety of musical tastes that abound here, from Country to Metal. Each proposed band gets greeted with an onslaught of people who both agree and disagree with the choice.

Heck, I'm a fan of Disturbed and System of a Down, and if they made it into some DLC, I would be as elated as if they announced some Eagles or Hank Williams, Sr or some Run DMC. I love ALL TYPES of music, and I'm sure there are others here who feel the same way, and others who will call me a moron for even mentioning Run DMC on a Rock Band forum :D And that's great, and it's that kind of diversity that makes a game like RB, with its infinite opportunities for customization through DLC, such an amazing product. Hopefully one day you'll see that.

[Fretbored]

I think ur misunderstanding. Actually, I love alot of music up here like Gimme Shelter. The truth is that I am metal purist. Its sad that people use Metallica as a rep of metal when music today has evolved. I used to love MTV. Before they lost their soul to the reality show devil but bands today have a loyal following like A7X. It would be nice if we had some heavier dlc to at least hold us over, instead of tapping into the same bands library.

wow... umm ya I agree that ACDC should at one point be a downloadable track, they have a wide variety of great legendary songs "Thunderstruck" an incredible song. However try to look at the bigger picture. Harmonix has a hard job here... they have to appeal to these catgories, Rock, Punk, Goth, and Metal! So you are bound to have a list of songs you dislike or don't know... but also keep in mind this is were the challenge of the game comes in... I can't sing half the lyrics cause I don't know them.
