For those who want Christian music, here you go...

[nicko68]

It also addresses the problem for those who hate both circular and rectangular notes. :)

[brobot]

Holy Crap.

[strtfghtr]

Yes finally!!

now we no longer have to see chrisitan DLC threads...now we need a company like that to make a country version

[Bang Camaro]

Wait... is that game real??? Oh. My. Gosh.

[back_blows]

Does this mean we can get a Satanic Guitar Hero game?

[Julio_Strikes_Back]

Does this mean we can get a Satanic Guitar Hero game?

Hopefully.

[Aragha]

Does this mean we can get a Satanic Guitar Hero game?

YEAH!!!

Guitar Hero: World Tour coming THIS FALL!!!

:p

[killer_roach]

Does this mean we can get a Satanic Guitar Hero game?

I thought it was called "Guitar Hero III"...

Oh, wait, you mean satanic, not spawned from Satan. Gotcha. :)

[nicko68]

I'm actually Christian, but this just seems kinda weird.

This part confuses me:


A PowerDuel mode, borrowed from Guitar Hero III, will let players deliver "surprises" that will affect their opponent's performance.

Should you really be preventing your opponent from shredding for the Lord? :)

[back_blows]

Maybe the screen turns white and you are "blinded" by the light of the lord?

[darkrei9n]

Guitar Hell : Deadly Rock for Satanic music?

[Refero]

The notes should have been crosses...

Or... the notes should have been little demons and every time you hit a note they should explode but if you miss a note Satan should jump out at you. :eek:

But I guess I'll have to keep my fingers crossed for the Pastafarian version. I bet the FSM can really shred with all of those noodley appendages! :cool:

[Venger]

Urgh, what a pile of crap.
I still want christian music in Rock band. Still waiting for some P.O.D or Evanescence.

[back_blows]

But I guess I'll have to keep my fingers crossed for the Pastafarian version. I bet the FSM can really shred with all of those noodley appendages! :cool:

Well thats a given. Flying Spaghetti Monster did FC Through the Fire and Flames, and Jordan.

[kiggidykev]

"Guitar Praise"? Oh come on, that's just a lame title.

[RicoTheAwesomeCat]

What about Guitar Hero for Atheists? You open up the box and it's completely empty.

[Jesus Christ]

I approve of this game.

[Santa Claus]

I approve of this game.

What's up, brotha!?

[Colt_Steele]

It's a hoax. It has to be. PowerDuel mode? What happened to Love Thy Neighbor?

[Der_Lex]

But won't it cause a major crisis of faith when you pray to pass one of the hard parts and still fail?

[kiggidykev]

But won't it cause a major crisis of faith when you pray to pass one of the hard parts and still fail?

OR maybe it's just a test of faith? Those who are worthy will continue on despite the hardships :)

[Colt_Steele]

But won't it cause a major crisis of faith when you pray to pass one of the hard parts and still fail?

Negative. There won't be a rock meter since failing would be the fault of Satan. The solos will have no notes so that the players will have time to close their eyes and raise their hands.

[DarkSide247]

What about Guitar Hero for Atheists? You open up the box and it's completely empty.
That was awesome.

[Der_Lex]

On a serious note, I'm glad that those who wanted to play more Christian/family-friendly songs will now finally have a game of their own (assuming this isn't a spoof).
And no, not just because it will hopefully cause a decrease in religion flamefests in Ultimate setlists... :D

[instantdeath999]

I'm sure this is a joke...

[instantdeath999]

What about Guitar Hero for Atheists? You open up the box and it's completely empty.

Ahem... we could have plenty of Atheist songs that otherwise would have no chance of making it in the game :D

[Hajime]

Finally they have something that won't turn their children into devil worshippers, or at least bad people, like (I guess) we are!

[Rockbandfan23467]

Ahem... we could have plenty of Atheist songs that otherwise would have no chance of making it in the game :D

We have Christian songs tooo (War Pigs, Spirit in the Sky, Carry On Wayward Son)

[President George W. Bush]

We have Christian songs tooo (War Pigs, Spirit in the Sky, Carry On Wayward Son)

Sprit in the Sky is the only Christian song on that list. By the way, sorry for the username lol. I didn't want to sign out again.

[Rockbandfan23467]

Sprit in the Sky is the only Christian song on that list. By the way, sorry for the username lol. I didn't want to sign out again.

No, the others are Christian. Several Christian bands have covered Carry On Wayward Son.

Last Verse of War Pigs.

[President George W. Bush]

No, the others are Christian. Several Christian bands have covered Carry On Wayward Son.

Last Verse of War Pigs.

To the Kansas remark: Christians are twisting it to be Christian. It is about Icarus and his flight to the sun.

War Pigs: Ozzy liked to incorporate Christian things into his songs to make them contraversial

[onduvalst]

Last Verse of War Pigs.

Spirit in the sky is song that really kinda pokes fun at gospel music, it was written and preformed by a jewish dude. He decided to use "jesus" instead of one of the names of G-d because "it would sell more" lol

The other songs have christian/religious imagery but I really don't think the artist would call them Christian songs. There are no "christian songs" in Rock Band.

[Der_Lex]

It is not a spoof, Digital Praise is a legitimate organization.

Oh, alright. Thanks, I was too lazy to do some fact-checking for myself.

And please, guys, don't turn this into another 'that and that is/isn't a Christian song' / religion bashfest... I've locked/deleted/incinerated enough threads today already.

[RicoTheAwesomeCat]

Ahem... we could have plenty of Atheist songs that otherwise would have no chance of making it in the game :D

Atheist Hero would be banned everywhere if it was an actual game, too bad us atheists wouldn't believe in it. :p

[bierfaht]

seems to have left out the Christian metal! i'm not really into this music but Living Sacrifice, Zao, or Training for Utopia would be fun...

[Der_Lex]

seems to have left out the Christian metal! i'm not really into this music but Living Sacrifice, Zao, or Training for Utopia would be fun...

There's a Christian prog metal band out there called Saviour Machine that's pretty good as well. Shame it gets no love from a game like this.

[Dr. Wagner]

LOL, this is just proof that everything that has the term "Christian" in it is just a blatant rip-off of something secular that is popular with the kids. Since all religions steal ideas from previous religions, it's not really a surprise now is it?

The last Christian work with any real imagination and creativity must have been Dante's Divine Comedy.

[Mystlyfe77]

What about Guitar Hero for Atheists? You open up the box and it's completely empty.

You win the internets. That was HILARIOUS. :D


Doesn't this game violate the fact that rock 'n roll is the devil's music?

Dante is/was said to be influenced heavily by Islamic philosphy and the divine comedy has quite a few similarities with Islamic thoughts at that time. So while creative he may have been just as bad a rip off artist.

[HopeInAnguish]

*shakes her head* What are you guys, 10? :p

And by the way...it's the market responding to demand. That's the economy we live in, folks. ;)

[BigMonkE]

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.

[Kobal2]

But won't it cause a major crisis of faith when you pray to pass one of the hard parts and still fail?

Don't be silly - you can't fail out. The Lord forgives you for missing those triplets.

[killer_roach]

No Tourniquet either. They're a good Christian prog metal band also.

Of course, if there was a Christian equivalent of Rock Band, we'd have to see something like either Demon Hunter or Zao... metal drumming is always welcome (and Zao's lyrics are so incomprehensible through the death growls that it's difficult to make heads or tails of them sometimes... although many of their songs aren't as "Christian" on their face as most of the groups listed in this game's songlist).

[NunHugger]

Although I will not be buying it, it's nice to see the plastic axe playing disciple niche being taken care of.

It would be cool if the in game charatcter could sport the "Jesus is my Homeboy" shirt :D

[Smidget]

It would be cool if the in game charatcter could sport the "Jesus is my Homeboy" shirt :D

haha, that would be pretty funny.

[Fausttt]

i call fake. how can you have a christian rock game without including Faith +1?

[FallenAce]

Man, those graphics are terrible, though. And triangles? What happened? Did they realize squares and rectangles had already been used?
...Actually I bet that is how they decided.

I can't believe the Christ got banned. Is that a sign there won't ever be Christian Rock in RockBand if not even the Christ isn't allowed on the forums? :P

[back_blows]

i call fake. how can you have a christian rock game without including Faith +1?

Faith+1 is too good for this game. They need some Sanctified!!

[Kobal2]

Man, those graphics are terrible, though. And triangles? What happened? Did they realize squares and rectangles had already been used?


Ever heard of the Holy Trinity ? ;)

[nicko68]

The system specs:



Surprisingly the requirements to run the game are really low: it requires merely a 1ghz processor, 650MB of HDD space, and a 32MB graphics card. If I didn't know that it required Windows XP I would have assumed it would run on, say, a calculator or modern microwave.

Aspyr could have used their help when developing GHIII for the PC. :)

[bierfaht]

Man, those graphics are terrible, though. And triangles? What happened? Did they realize squares and rectangles had already been used?

:P

does this mean when they finally get around to making the Hassidic version of guitar hero that they will have to use rhombuses? dodecahedrons?

[Dr. Wagner]

LOL, yeah and the Islamic version will have little crescents, while the Scientologist version will have dollar signs.

[Mystlyfe77]

LOL, yeah and the Islamic version will have little crescents, while the Scientologist version will have dollar signs.

LMAO. Good call.

[onduvalst]

I think stars of david would be hard to read *pout*

[DarkEternal37]

Not fair that they get Skillet's "Rebirthing". I don't even care if you don't like Christian music, that's just an awesome song.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MKIcEZf9wnk

[Rockin_it_all_nite_long]

Is this real?

What has this world come to?

[nashphx13z]

Wow I'm TOTALLY buying this game!!!!!!! It looks SSSSOOOOOOOOOOOOO amazing! I can praise the Lord and play plastic guitar against my friends for only $170!!!!! I'm definitely not buying Rock Band 2 with that money!

/sarcasm

[ClubberLang]

y'all are afraid of what y'all don't understand.This game cost less than a c-note.

[nashphx13z]

??????????

[Colt_Steele]

Pretty good track. Am I the only one that thinks the front man looks like a younger version of Jack Bauer's original boss on 24?

[nashphx13z]

Pretty good track. Am I the only one that thinks the front man looks like a younger version of Jack Bauer's original boss on 24?

You're reading WAY to much into this, pal. Actually, now that I think about it....yeah, he kinda does. LOL good observation.

[Rock_Starman]

I like Broken by 12 Stones. Don't know any of the other songs on there unless Blind Man is an Aerosmith cover and Rock of Ages is a Def Leppard cover but I'm not Christian anyway. I'd still probably rent it on 360 or PS3 if it came to them and was compatilble with exsisting guitars. Comp probably can't run it. :p

[Tego1in]

Wait.
I want some of the songs...
Pillar PLZ

[m00p]

YEAH!!!

Guitar Hero: World Tour coming THIS FALL!!!

:p

haha..


Aren't creed a christian band? I'd love to see "Higher".

[darkbhudda]

Oh My God. I'm an atheist and want to play this. Some cool songs on there.

[SixxxShots]

This is awesome! I've been wanting some of these bands in rock band ever since it came out, espicially Day Of Fire and Skillet

[Ryyke]

Ugh, what a terrible setlist. They could have made it at least decent, but nope, it's just garbage. There's maybe 3 good tracks on there.

[rowdyoctopus]

I just think it is funny there is Thousand Foot Krutch and Skillet on the same song list as Chris Tomlin and David Crowder.

Tomlin and Crowder write songs that many contemporary churches sing on Sunday morning. Crowder is an amazing musician, and people like Tomlin because he has good theology (despite somewhat watered down songs).

Anyway, those guys are just opposite ends of the spectrum from Skillet or Thousand Foot Krutch. Granted the latter are not exactly the heaviest bands out there. August Burns Red is probably the heaviest Christian band I have seen/listened to, though I doubt it is the heaviest out there. Either way, I guess metalcore scares mommy and daddy away.

And finally, any Christian music game without Stryper is fail.

[Lone Bulldogs]

Just another way to cheapen and exploit people's beliefs...

There's big money in Christian marketing becasue of all the parents who don't trust the weekly sermons to teach the kids what's right and wrong.

I don't think Jesus would have made this game...he would have played RB and kicked everyone's ass

[nicko68]

Oh My God. I'm an atheist and want to play this. Some cool songs on there.

You're an atheist, and you know more Christian music than I do, and I'm Christian. :)

I have heard of Casting Crowns, David Crowder, etc but I just don't know those songs. I have only a couple of Christian CDs in my music collection.

[Rigour6]

I think for a lot of us, we wrote off Christian rock without any kind of a fair trial. One closer examination, it's a pretty diverse field, with all the genres represented. Like "secular" music, a lot of it (dare I say even a majority of it?) is crap as per Sturgeon's Law. But people who write it off show either their ignorance of it or the fact that bottom line they aren't prepared to take a chance on liking music which has an explicit or implicit agenda they don't buy into. In this, they are, imnhso, exactly like the Christians they denigrate.

Now, if you want to talk about "softer" Christian groups (i.e. not the praise and worship guys but rock musicians who just happen to be Christians), you have to put a bit more water in your wine. Start by seeing if you can tear down U2's rock credentials, and if you manage that, let me know, and I'll see what other ones I can find you.

[instantdeath999]

I guess the triangles are the trinity, or something...

[murfinator]

I would love a Ton of the bands listed to be in this game, but wouldn't pay a dime for this rip off.

Haha, I wander if the game refuses to boot on Sundays?

[SteveoKnievo]

Maybe they too have a guitar duel against the devil.
