More Punk In Rock Band 2

[cammi_cam]

i really thought that there wasnt enough punk in rock band 1. because i know so many different bands i really think it would be so awesome to sing, drum (maybe even guitar) some of my favorite songs. also i had just finished looking at the rock band 2 songs list and i wasnt very impressed:eek:, so i really think that they should put some songs by any of the following atleast to download or maybe even switch.

1 - anything by the misfits
2 - anything by the casualties
3 - anything by g.b.h
4 - anything by the distillers ( really awesome female vocalist)
5 - anything by the exploited
6 - anything by bad brains
7 - anything by (older 90's) anti-flag
8 - anything by rancid
9 - anything by the horrorpops
10 - anything by leftover crack
11 - anything by nekromantix

i know lots and lots more bands but these are just the ones that came to mind first so, if anyone else wants to suggest any other bands/songs awesome. i hope rock band 2 is great but it will be even greater with some better songs maybe.:D

[CCDaDon]

Not enough real punk?

The 3 ramones songs 6 offspring songs soon to come and what seems like 50 clash songs says hi...

Dead Kennedys may be in the 20 songs but for me thats enough punk... My opinion...

Oh yeah and this belongs in the ultimate setlist...

[dark__gamer]

some guttermouth

[Stahlbrand]

Misfits, Dead Kennedys, Agent Orange, Sex Pistols. Thats all I want from the punk section in addition to the Ramones and Clash we have so far.

I dunno, I just can't get behind anything more recent.

[Fuelie79]

Bad Religion is rumored to be working on songs for RB
The Offspring
The Clash
The Ramones...

I guess you're kind of right, but they are definitely getting there, and I'm sure they are working on expanding the genre

[Rab1d_Squ1rrels]

I'd like more punk. But more modern stuff like Acro-brats or MxPx.

[xxpigxx]

Rancid, NOFX, Dropkick Murphy, Desendents,

[JerryWB]

there enough crap coming out recently with the addition of songs that really cant be called music (ie. band just screaming) i dont see how anyone can call that being musically gifted. Dont need punk music, although not all punk is bad, certainly better then whats coming out this week .... shrug

ps. bring it on

[PCTraitor]

I'd rather have new recordings of the Misfits though. Most of their better songs sound like they were recorded on 4 tracks. I'd want Danzig's band to rerecord them though. That would be nice.

[Elegy]

the only punk i really want is Full London Calling Album DLC, or at least what we don't already have from that album.

[toymachineSH]

they have Dead Kennedys (master track?) therefore RB2 has won everything ever

[berkthgar]

the only punk i wanna see is MOAR RISE AGAINST!! but not Prayer of the Refugee... sick of that song lol

[rured0]

I really just want Fall Out Boy in this game

[berkthgar]

I don't really like punk music but I'll admit punk has been overlooked for a while.

Too many fast beats for me to enjoy drumming. Plus they don't really lend themselves to being the best singer's songs.

lyrics are doctored to "it's the way I bring" rather than "it's a holiday" but look at the chart (compare to GH3) and the pitches in the vocals. I'm 99.9% that's HiC

Why would they doctor "It's a holiday in Cambodia"? There's no swear words in that phrase.

That said, there's no way that's the drum chart, or the bass chart. I think it's a different song entirely.

I figured it was just to keep people from figuring it out. but idk, I was just remembering the vox and GH3 chart. never payed much attention to the drums/bass

[afterstasis]

agreed. the drums look way off, as well as the vocals.

[zack10house]

agreed. the drums look way off, as well as the vocals.

to me the vocals and guitar look spot on, the bass looks like it could be from the section immediately before the chorus....and the drums ARE way off. just listened to the song again. I still think/hope the song's in though

[simmias]

Why would they doctor "It's a holiday in Cambodia"? There's no swear words in that phrase.
They doctored words on the screenshots used for the game box. Why? Who knows.

[instantdeath999]

Hi Leftover crack. How much longer til' your ban is up?

Aren't the Ramones the greatest punk band ever?

To actually add something to the conversation... keep in mind, the demo of (supposedly) Holiday in Cambonia might be on easy.

[simmias]

The more I listen to HiC while looking at that screenshot, the more I think zack is right. That bass line is exact, as is the guitar. Pitch looks a little weird on the "It's a holiday in Cambodia" part, but it wouldn't be the first time HMX did something like that. And the drums look right to me at that section, too (maybe played on hard or medium?)

The lyrics don't match, but those lyrics don't match ANY song that either Google or I know of.

[BhindBluEyes430]

we definatly need more clash we only have 4 songs! the 3 dident even come out at the same time.

other bands
The Jam
The Dammed
The Buzzcocks
Green Day(Old)
social distortion (at least we have "I was Wrong")
NOFX
Dead Kennedys
Flogging mollys

Im really hoping for HiC just because the drum roll in the begining

[Comrade_Classen]

i'll go with some hardcore punk....black flag all day...who wouldnt want to be henry rollins or greg ginn for a day...ahhhh...some REAL punk

Where the **** is the

Good Riddance (Should be the 1st thing to come out that is real punk)
Older AFI (Even before Black Sails)
Comeback Kid
Guttermouth


thats real punk, not *the ramones* or *the offspring* sorry but i dont consider offspring punk, ESPECIALLY any of there newer stuff, its not bad music, but its NOT punk.

[instantdeath999]

I've never heard a good reason why the Ramones aren't punk.

[TthevoiceE]

listen too an old AFI or Good Riddance album, than listen too the ramones. Self Explanitory.

How bout some:

Minor Threat
Dag Nasty
Bad Brains
GBH
Exploited
Misfits
Danzig
Johnny Thunders
NY Dolls

[simmias]

Russ Rankin annoys the living crap out of me. Never liked old AFI. Always liked the Ramones. Offspring is not punk.

[instantdeath999]

I'm not a fan of punk, but that really seems like saying "listen to Black Sabbath and then listen to Metallica". Obviously, they are different, but that's because they were formed in the 70's, where AFI were formed in the 90's. The sound will change over time.

I do like the Clash a lot, though. Haven't listened to others much... I might try some of them out.

[Flawless]

How about some?

Killer Cleats
Hard Harries
Jinxed
Utopia Overrated

... hell, even Bridges Over Hell.

I made these all up.

One could see listen to an old Ramones song then listen to an old AFI or Good Riddance album, and then say that AFI and Good Riddance simply aren't classic punk.

[afterstasis]

that's because there isn't one.

well, i've had him on ignore so long i can't really remember...
i must not have found him too humorous, because there are indeed some posters whom i would ignore if they weren't so ridiculous that i find them pretty funny.

I suggest you read the post that got him banned.

To keep this thread from getting locked, I'll say that I would really like some Clash. Also, I think more punk should make it's way into the game, as there seems to not be a lot of it, and the few songs that are in are from the more popular artists (Ramones, Clash, etc.).

agreed. i'd like a wider variety, particularly touching on post-punk because that really leads to such a huge range of sounds and styles. i think a lot of folks who complain about the overly straight-forward chord-fests would be surprised at how different a lot of punk and post-punk bands were...

I do enjoy listening to Punk music, but I do think a little can go a long way in Rock Band. The trouble is, a large percentage of the music most conventionally considered punk doesn't offer much variety for gameplay -- they're repetitive drums, guitar, and bass. (Look at Punk Pack 01 -- Ever Fallen in Love and Rockaway Beach being particularly strong examples of this.)

But there ARE Punk songs and bands that break out of this norm, and I agree that more of those would be a good thing. Someone earlier in this thread mentioned Sum 41 -- "In Too Deep" would be a great track for Rock Band with a lot more variety than typical Punk. If HMX could ever close a deal with Green Day, "Jesus of Suburbia" thumbs its nose at repetition.

Anyway, this post is now drifting into "Ultimate Setlist" territory, so I'll wrap it up...

what on earth are you talking about? have you played the drums to "ever fallen in love"?!

It tires me out just thinking about it.

[Heimlich]

I have. I'm not saying it isn't difficult. Indeed, at "Tier 4," you could call it among the most preposterously under-tiered songs in the game. But honestly, that's only because of the speed. There are really only two drum patterns in that song -- the one played while the singer is on "You spurn my natural emotions," and the one in the instrumental phrase after "...and I'm hurt." Those two patterns just repeat again and again throughout the song. That's what I mean by saying the song doesn't offer a variety of gameplay.

well, there's several little bits of flair in there. i agree that it would probably be repetitious if the drums weren't so unique and challenging (plus, the song's so short).

I see what you are saying. Honestly, I'm terrible at all the Ramones songs on drums. They are so simple, but the speed tires me out.

[cammi_cam]

i think alot of the so called punk music on rock band are not that great of choices, i think they need to put good punk bands in like some of the ones ive posted at the start. anyone agree?

[MacMog]

I don't know why, but I really really like Utopia Overrated for a band name. Please tell me you thought it up and didn't just randomly generate it.

Well, if you didn't know where to find it, that would make it rather hard. I just now, after hearing references to it two or three times, dug through all the settings and profile crap long enough to find it.

Maury Povich time:

if people get past the stereotype that all punk needs to be played 180 bpm that we can talk about the diversity, from hardcore, to poppy to skapunk to post punk to classic punk, horrorpunk, psychobilly, etc.

the offspring are only a part time punk band anymore, and telling punk fans that "you have the offspring, you should be happy", is like telling metal fans that "you have disturbed, you should be happy"

what if I'm a metal fan and I AM happy with Disturbed (and Devildriver :) )

[SickNalzic]

we neeed black flag

[BillHorror]

I think it should definately be said that we could use more MODERN punk. It's not like punk was only around from 77 to 79. And when I say modern, I'm not saying I hate older punk. I'm just saying that it would make more sense to use a Bad Religion song from "New Maps of Hell" than it would to use one off of Recipe for Hate.

If people would listen to newer punk rock, maybe it wouldn't fit into this stereotype "Punk is all repetitive and boring". Thing is, most of those songs you're thinking of are from when the bands were teenagers and could barely play. The ones that stuck around got better.

Also, I don't think it really counts that we're getting The Offspring. While I do like them, I just think that they stopped being punk before even AFI stopped being punk. Maybe not before Green Day did though... propably around the same time.

[simmias]

I'm just saying that it would make more sense to use a Bad Religion song from "New Maps of Hell" than it would to use one off of Recipe for Hate.
I'd much rather have something off No Control, Suffer, or Generator. While great, any BR older than Suffer has pretty poor sound quality. The new BR isn't half bad, but it can't touch the stuff from the 80s and early 90s.

[bierfaht]

what if I'm a metal fan and I AM happy with Disturbed (and Devildriver :) )

well, i aim that comment more at the judas priest/dio/metallica/extreme metal fans who consider a band like disturbed as non "true" metal

i would rather have something off of generator/recipe/stranger than fiction

80-85 has great songs but not so great recording + they became better musicians, considering they were not even out of high school when their first album got big!

F*CK YEAH!

[Apples]

I can't say I'm too broken up about a lack of punk. So much of it has just terrible/boring instrumentation.

The Clash are about the only exception I can think of and a few niche songs like "Institutionalized" (which would be awesome)

[opivyskaguy]

I think Rock Band is definitely suffering from lack of punk rock. People seem to complain a lot about it being really repetitive but I find a lot of the rock, pop and metal in Rock Band to suffer from that same issue so I don't really see why punk doesn't get more attention. I mean the Clash, the Ramones and the Buzzcocks have been great. But I still believe there is a lot more bands out there that should be explored.

The problem I see is punk rock is a very broad genre these days, and means different things to different people. Personally I like the 70's and 80's better for punk rock.. but the song choices are key. A lot of the songs from the era are strictly power chords, that's why song selections would really need to be done carefully. From a person that for the majority listens to punk, I think it would serve Rock Band well to include some more punk into the lineup.

[leftover_crack]

yes

and i love leftover crack

im actuallly seeing them tomarrow

if i could have any punk song in the game it'd probably have to be "mystery" by the wipers...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pM1aFMp2pDk

the song would be a bore to lots of guitarists out there, but i'd gladly step off my drum-throne and strum away for this tune.

There's definately not enough punk. I don't consider the Offsprings punk at all, just alternative. So the only punk songs we got are Ramones and Clash..and I don't like either of those bands. Suicidal Tendencies, Dead Kennedys, and Misfits would make my day

[Ninja fight all]

I want some Pennywise, some Social Distortion, and im VERY happy that there will be more of The Offspring.

this is of corse my most wanted song No instrument is boring in this

as for Non Clash punk I would love this song "In the city"-the Jam
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ivm0inFdJL8

New punk Green days welcome to paridise (The only Green day choice) Im not into new punk I mean they are just copying the anger of their predisesors and bring nothing new
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v-xQjxTXAUw

[IfishIII]

I would definitly like some Bad Religion, NOFX, Anti-Flag, Pennywise, etc.

and I'm glad there's some more Offspring stuff coming soon (hopefully?)

Also, I'm aware that some of you don't think that's punk enough, but whatever. Not that I'm against having your "real punk" bands, it's just that I don't know any of their music, so I didn't list them

[toymachineSH]

NOFX Descendents etc

[leftover_crack]

i find hardcore punk drum beats really fun to play, like the beat in 7 by vagiant

[rocknrolxdx]

needs Green Day

[DeliciousBrains]

Misfits/Crass/Social D for sure! It'd also be great to see The Clash - London Calling as full-album DLC, and I know people will whine about what's REAL punk and what isn't, but Green Day - Dookie and Offspring - Smash would be fun to play.

EDIT: Why is it 5 seconds after I click post on any "Your Ultimate Setlist" thread I realize I forgot some awesome band?

[theblazer]

the ultimate punk list:

Joy Division - Fathers of goth, post-punk legends... essential.

Iggy & the Stooges - duh.

The Cramps - fun psychobilly.

The Sex Pistols - duh.

Sham 69 - fun classic punk anthems such as "If the Kids Are United".

The Damned - "New Rose" is a classic punk song.

The Stranglers - bad ass.

Gang of Four - would be a challenge for drummers. kick ass songs.

The Fall - cool factor.

The Jesus and Mary Chain - loud and annoying, what punk should sound like.

Television - classic punk for the masses.

Wire - art punk for the indie kids.



It's really true. Punk is a lacking category in RB2. If the kids are united and speak up, maybe we can finally get our kicks.
