Bands that kids would want to play!

[XxBlessTheFallxX]

I think they should go more out with the music like they have mainstream music I want something like screamo stuff. Here are some examples:

The Devil Wears Prada

Bring Me The Horizon

Alesana

Fall of Troy

BlessTheFall

Metro Station(They arnt hardcore or anything but are a new style of music)

Greeley Estates

A Skylit Drive

Escape The Fate

The Used

AFI

Slipknot(Maybe Try to put the new stuff in it)

Senses Fail

Chiodos

UnderOath

Secrets Kept In Suicide

Saosin

As I Lay Dying

Angels and Airwaves(Because They are soothing and everyone would like them)

and

H.I.M.

I think if they could get atleast two or three of these more of the kids would totally play the Game.

[AceOfSpades24]

Uh... please god no.

[ExpertDrummer]

Theres only 2 good bands(senses fail,AVA),thats it the rest suck

[XxBlessTheFallxX]

Well atleast it would be a good change for kids who do listen to it.
And it would be something new for them to do.
I think they should try it atleast.

[leftover_crack]

u dont know kids very well then


alot of people from 14 - 17 are into punk and ska

and alot are also into indie stuff like modest mouse, franz ferdinand and artic monkeys

[Mystlyfe77]

Ummm, not sure where you got the idea that "kids" don't play this game. The median age on this forum can't be more than 15.
And I'd rather not see any of those bands on Rock Band.

[Hastyl3]

You realize more kids these days are turning to older music since we're getting a ton of generic stuff in the mainstream.

[XxBlessTheFallxX]

Ok Im just saying why not try a couple of those bands.
And Im 14 ok so I do know what most kids listen too.

[Julio_Strikes_Back]

Teenagers don't just listen to one particular type of music.

However, for the sake of variety, I wouldn't really mind if these bands were DLC.

[IfishIII]

Hmm. I'm not sure what kids you're talking about.

But why should a game rated T for teen aim so many of it's songs towards kids?

And even if they did, at least make them from better artists than those ones, so the older players don't have to deal with it. heh.

I'd be fine with AVA, AFI, and maybe one song from Metro Station/Fall of Troy...but not for the same reasons as you.

Metro Station isn't really a new type of music. Lots of people (and most younger kids) just haven't heard it before. I wouldn't call Angels & Airwaves "soothing" necessarily and I definitly wouldn't say that "everyone would like them" about any band...

[Kurdt10]

The Used would be nice if its one of their heavier/older songs like "Box of Sharp Objects" the rest i can go without.

[XxBlessTheFallxX]

I guess most people wouldn' want to hear it but I think its like the new thing coming up and you can disagree with me I would just wan to see atleat five of these bands on the new game.
Mostly Bring Me The Horizon they are ultimate for the game they have fast drum beats, awsome solos in some songs with great riffs, vocals would be fairly hard to do.
Thats all I think.

[leftover_crack]

Ok Im just saying why not try a couple of those bands.
And Im 14 ok so I do know what most kids listen too.

well thats not it

[MGSfanboy]

Definitely Metallica

[Hastyl3]

Ok Im just saying why not try a couple of those bands.
And Im 14 ok so I do know what most kids listen too.

Am 14, too. None of my friends listen to this, it's really only the scene kids who listen to this type of stuff... and chavs

[XxBlessTheFallxX]

You calling me a chav???

[JukeBoxHero]

Am 14, too. None of my friends listen to this, it's really only the scene kids who listen to this type of stuff... and chavs

Quick question, what are scene kids?

[RicoTheAwesomeCat]

I actually would like some Devil Wears Prada and the Fall of Troy. Though I really don't meet many people who listen to The Fall of Troy around school, so I wouldn't call them "mainstream".

[schwhack222]

dude im a kid and i only download hard rock and metal and some rock

[stajanleafs]

man i'm 17... when i was 14/15 i listened to Rush, The Police, and some modern rock (still listen to that great stuff!!) none of anything that would fit into those genres...... everybody's different....

[ShiningIdeal]

...was I the only one who expected this topic was going to be aiming more at like High School Musical/RadioDisney/etc from the name?

The irony is the only people I know who listen to most of those bands are dissatisfied twenty-somethings. Most of the teens I work with have tastes that go much different ways.

[cheetobob]

i dont listen to any of that stuff im 15 dont really listen to music but i like classick rock the most and the only song im begging to be in it is freebird, really good song

[e r r o r]

Uh... please god no.
--- qft ---

[Tenfrente]

And Im 14 ok so I do know what most kids listen too.

There is a fallacy in this statement. Unless you're suggesting that you know all of the kids on the planet?

[Meatwad555]

The Devil Wears Prada and As I Lay Dying would be cool to see in RB.
PS ( I'm not a kid )

[Expertdrums48661]

YES great list. ETF, the used. They need to open up to more metal songs.

[SecondHeartbeat]

defienetly on board with escape the fate, bless the fall, used, afi, not so much the other ones,
you forgot more a7x and ATREYU!
Rise Against and arctic monkeys DLC as well

[Highlandlassie1]

never heard of em, 'cept slipknot, and I don't like them.

[lasalleb3]

Instead of Saosin lets get the far superior Anthony Green-fronted band, Circa Survive.

[Quinarvy]

By kids you mean scene kids? Cause a vast majority (not all) of that is, well, bad to be kind.

I too thought this would be a Disney-Pop thread.

[kingtonyx]

To say that no one listens to these bands is ridiculous

Metro Station's "Shake It" is a top 20 track, not on the rock charts but on the overall charts

[instantdeath999]

How stereotypical.

[thesicklyill]

ok dude most kids would be dead scared of slipknot.

but i remember when i was 13 i like linkin park, offspring, nirvana green day, and a little metalica

[thesicklyill]

i dont listen to any of that stuff im 15 dont really listen to music but i like classick rock the most and the only song im begging to be in it is freebird, really good song

dude get guitar hero 2

[xx wee wee xx]

i support this;

i love every band in here.

it would be the bestt to have that in here!:D

[thesicklyill]

completely tru a lot of my friends like rap and pop

i like rock, metal and punk, i hate soulja boi and mia

they love it

[LedHead1991]

u dont know kids very well then


alot of people from 14 - 17 are into punk and ska

and alot are also into indie stuff like modest mouse, franz ferdinand and artic monkeys

Sadly enough I agree with you. (I read you other thread saying Harmonix is dumb cause they do not have enough of your favorite genre)

Most teens are into Indie, Alt, Punk, and Ska. Personally I like Classic Rock, The Blues, Alt, and Indie (weird eh?) but a lot of younger kids aged like 10 -13 are into scremo and death metal etc.

I know at least 50% of the tweens "11-14" are into said genres and 50% 15-17 are into Alt and Indie.

Of course only like 1.3% of teens like Classic Rock and 0.4 Percent like the Blues but w\e.

All percents were pulled outta my ass. But based on the people that I know.

Me too, but damn is that "Paper Airplanes" song catchy. I fly like paper, get high like planes. If you Catch me at the border I got visas in my name.

[leftover_crack]

Quick question, what are scene kids?

its the new name for emo

[thesicklyill]

ok i'm gonna sound really newbie but, wats indie, i kno float on and a couple other modest mouse songs but it just seams like others rock ans alt songs to me.

[Runesmith]

Sure. Why not? We haven't had any screamo/post-hardcore DLC yet. Regardless of how you feel about the genre (I'm neutral on it, myself), it's still a missing rock sub-genre that deserves a spot in Rock Band.

finnally i agree with some one on these boards

and i think its just paper planes

ndie rock is an umbrella term to reference rock artists that are or were unsigned, or have signed to independent record labels, rather than major record labels. Originally the term was not a reference to a specific genre of rock music; however, it has come to be used often to reference the sound of particular bands and the bands they have influenced. "Indie rock" is used as an umbrella term covering a wide range of artists and styles close to rock music, connected by some degree of allegiance to the values of underground culture and counterculture. Genres or subgenres often associated with indie rock include lo-fi, post-rock, sadcore, C86, and math rock, to list but a few; other related (and sometimes overlapping) categories include shoegazing and indie pop.

Stolen Straight from wikipedia. The brain of the internet. Google is your friend my son. And alot of indie music can be found online for free.

the best example is the music in the movie juno

[LedHead1991]

the best example is the music in the movie juno

Yup :D :p The music from Juno was rather good.

[SecondHeartbeat]

any kid these days that doesnt/wouldnt like these bands even a little bit would usually just be into pop and hiphop crap

[thesicklyill]

the best example is the music in the movie juno

i didn't see that movie

[Ferocious Q]

YAY SlipKnot!!! Wait, I AM A KID!!!

[leftover_crack]

Yup :D :p The music from Juno was rather good.

is that supposed to be sarcasm?

and i wasnt saying it was good or bad i was just saying its what u would listen to and have the best under standing of indie

[leftover_crack]

any kid these days that doesnt/wouldnt like these bands even a little bit would usually just be into pop and hiphop crap

thats not true

they would probably be into real hardcore, punk, ska, or indie/alt rock

[Gargoyle2500]

You realize more kids these days are turning to older music since we're getting a ton of generic stuff in the mainstream.

Have you read the article saying that Rock Band and Guitar Hero are helping kids find out about good music rather than all the mainstream *cough* music that is out today?

[leftover_crack]

i didn't see that movie

anyone else but you

those are the 2 most indie songs ive ever heard

[thesicklyill]

any kid these days that doesnt/wouldnt like these bands even a little bit would usually just be into pop and hiphop crap


wrong, i hate or don't know all of those bands and i like metallica, linkin park, system of a dow, bad religion, green day, and stuff like taht

[leftover_crack]

Have you read the article saying that Rock Band and Guitar Hero are helping kids find out about good music rather than all the mainstream *cough* music that is out today?

actually no but its definitely true, i i really do hate seeing 13 yr old kids wearing led zep '79 tour shirts

just cause they weren't there

like sure get a shirt of the band if u want just dont get it from hot topic if its a tour shirt

[thesicklyill]

yea my brother has a ac dc shirt he loves and hes 10

[leftover_crack]

but does it say some year before he was born on it?

[thesicklyill]

but does it say some year before he was born on it?

it doesn't have a year on it, or at least on the front

[leftover_crack]

then thats ok

[Quinarvy]

but does it say some year before he was born on it?

You do know LZ sells said shirts on their website?

Yea, it annoys me too.

[instantdeath999]

but does it say some year before he was born on it?

Does it matter?

[leftover_crack]

yes it does

if u didnt go to a concert u shouldnt have a shirt from the tour that actually has the tour dates on the back of it

[instantdeath999]

By that logic, you shouldn't own a live CD made before you were born.

Lets say I'm wearing a "Live at Leeds" shirt. No, I didn't go to that concert... but it's one of the most historical concerts of all time.

[leftover_crack]

no because live cds arent sold at the concert

[Crooked Carrot]

I like AFI... that's pretty much the only band there that I like, but to be fair, I am extremely picky about music and I don't like most bands. :)

Oh and another, I don't know anyone who like Angels & Airwaves, so I'm going to have to disagree with you when you said "Everyone would like them".

[thesicklyill]

i am sorry but that last post made me smile. not that its stupid but theres like a page of talking about what indie is and tshirts then theres an on topic post. it seemed really random

[LedHead1991]

Lets say I'm wearing a "Live at Leeds" shirt. No, I didn't go to that concert... but it's one of the most historical concerts of all time.

Live at the Leeds. Now I have to go listen to it, Thanks :p.

That means almost all of concert shirts(besides snakes and arrows) I cant wear that's bull, 1977 Zeppelin World tour woulda been epic!

[thesicklyill]

guys stop fighting, yes it is annoying for a 10 year old to wear a ****rt for a concret before they were born. but theres no reason u should fight about it

[Lurby]

this is kind of steryotypical, im 16 and i can't stand screamo and things related. i like stuff like The Who, Iron maiden, Rush, AC/DC and what not

[LedHead1991]

@Lurby:

Exactly you can't just say kids like Scremo and Adults like whatever they like. To each their own!

[thesicklyill]

yea and some kids like both and certain songs from nearly every genre. i like SOD a little mia, metallica, linkin park, sublime, a little katy parry, green day, and badreligion

thats new metal, rap, metal, alternative, ska, pop, punk

[Toked Up Cow]

No. Most kids my age (13-17) are into the 80s metal.

im 14 and i hate all those bands

[LedHead1991]

No. Most kids my age (13-17) are into the 80s metal.

im 14 and i hate all those bands

Thats where you live though.

Here in Thunder Bay we have a mix between preps who listen to the latest rap, hip-hop and pop hits and little scremo metal heads.

[kingtonyx]

kids listen to everything, just because you and your friends listen to something doesn't make it what "all" kids are listening to

also, I'm 27 and I listen to almost all of those bands....

[TheClashTheClashTheClash]

u dont know kids very well then


alot of people from 14 - 17 are into punk and ska

and alot are also into indie stuff like modest mouse, franz ferdinand and artic monkeys

how did you know i was into punk and ska, are you a stalker? (u guessed perfectly cuz im 17)

[Wedge19]

i actually would not mind most of the these bands for DLC, if for nothing else but variety. And also, a lot of them are bands I listen to. And I'm no kid..... (at least I don't think 20 is a kid..... maybe it is)

[Crooked Carrot]

i am sorry but that last post made me smile. not that its stupid but theres like a page of talking about what indie is and tshirts then theres an on topic post. it seemed really random

Are you referring to my post? LOL, I just wanted to put my 2 cents in about the list and try to put the thread back on-topic...I don't think it worked. :D

[leftover_crack]

how did you know i was into punk and ska, are you a stalker? (u guessed perfectly cuz im 17)

u stole my top 5 songs for dlc

[zerofan]

Expand your mind young people!!!!! Just bec your a ceratin age doesnt mean you need to listen to ceratin types of muzak! lol Open up your ears and mind and you may like a song from a band that leads to more songs from that band....then youll tell 2 friends, and they'll tell 2 friends...etc..lol

[leftover_crack]

or they keep on listen what they like but also look at some of there inspirations

[sitbooboosit]

I had to suffer through The Fall of Troy as an opening act for Coheed and Cambria. In the middle of their third song I think, the guy's guitar string broke, so they smashed it on the ground and the guy just started screaming pre-pubescent girl noises into the mic, after which they stormed offstage. So I'd say no to all of those bands (except maybe AFI), unless they could simulate my aforementioned experience.

[Chewie7213]

I think you forgot this one

uhhh, no teenagers listen to indie crap, all my friends listen to devilwears prada, scary kids scaring kids, and so on

the only teenagers who listen to that are the kind who dont give a damn about video games. teenagers listen to this, or crappy pop music and rap.

i know NO one who listens to ska

[ElLapiz24]

No. Most kids my age (13-17) are into the 80s metal.

im 14 and i hate all those bands

the only kids who listen to 80s metal are posers trying to be "hardcore"

harmonix ****ing needs screamo now

[neckermanncj]

no teenagers listen to indie crap

the only teenagers who listen to that are the kind who dont give a damn about video games.

i love video games and i listen to that music, maybe i'm just smart and listen to good music, although, it really doesn't matter if you play video games or not, it should have nothing to the type of music you listen to.

[Buffdog18]

You realize more kids these days are turning to older music since we're getting a ton of generic stuff in the mainstream.

lol, I'm an example, 13 and love 80's music

I'm 16, I like ska and indie. On top of that, I don't like screamo bands,"crappy pop music" or rap. Don't create judgments on a rather large demographic group based off a small sample that you know.

[Transbrak]

nice how your arguing with posts from last august

[SweetaThanSuga]

Don't take me wrong, I love screamo music, but it would be TOO easy on vocals, which is what I normally play.

[A New Pyro Fool]

Misleading title is misleading.

im sorry my stupid brother posted those dumb comments

[ElLapiz24]

anyways,what ive been seeing here makes me belive alottttt of schools listen to different music in different school. I happen to live in a really ghetto school, so its about 50% rap. Everyone else whos white listens to nu-metal and hard rock like 3 days grace, linkin park, and slipknot. everyone also likes avenged sevenfold(well, who doesnt?) but there are a couple of "scene kids" who listen to screamo, i do too but im not "scene." anyways, harmonix SHOULD add this stuff for variety, and to make people like me happy(: I think rock band definately needs a day to remember, my favorite

[--terrorisly]

I'm 14, and I listen to some of that. Some of it would be nice for DLC.

But, I'm not close minded enough to confine myself just to those. I listen to a lot of older stuff (I'm really into stuff from the 80's and even some 70's stuff), and a lot of stuff different from what's listed. >.>

[poryon2]

This is the worst idea I've ever heard. I would hate to see kids down the street listening to this god awful noise.

[SonOfRedman]

I could deal with some of those artists the OP mentioned, but 98% of those bands aren't screamo... and I didn't think kids were that into screamo?

[ShadowChaosControl]

i'm 15, and i hate every one of those bands, but i'm into classic rock, and 80's metal
new music for the most part sucks

[party pizza]

This is the worst idea I've ever heard. I would hate to see kids down the street listening to this god awful noise.

so you think its a bad idea to have a band you want on rock band? hhhmmmm, than i guess you think every thread requesting a band/genre is a bad idea?

Ok i won't insult you, because your right, only your opinion matters, everybody should like what you like, everybody should stop expressing their musical opinions and listen to the classics, because they're the only good kind of music, right? dont get me wrong, i like clasic rock just as much as anyone else, but its douchebags like you who have to have things their way only, not some elses. what has music come to today? all it is is people telling other people what sucks and what doesn't. but then again, they're probably right, it does suck, everything sucks but what you listen to, right?

[party pizza]

What the **** happened to kids, go listen to Metallica or something, not that crap you listed in the OP.

I ONLY LIIKE MUSICS I CAN SCREAM TO and etc

funny thing is i did, and i didnt care for it at all.

why do people think only what they listen to is good? if you ask me, kids who listen to only older rock post some of the cruelest, yet dumbest comments

[BlackSkyScar]

What Kids listen to :
The Used
Slipknot
Senses Fail
Chiodos
UnderOath
Secrets Kept In Suicide
Saosin
As I Lay Dying

Unless they're 8-year old metals heads

And "Angels and Airwaves(Because They are soothing and everyone would like them)" I hate Angels & Airways
