Some impressions on the DLC. My Sharona to be the Album Version not the Single Edit!

Would've liked the original master, but hey, it will be a blast either way!

[Coldplayer]

Yeah, let's hope it's a good cover. I'm looking forward to this song too.

So is it the version thats 4:55 with the long guitar solo? If so then awesome.

"I also got to play bass on "N.I.B.," and the bass practically played me. But the track I'm most excited for is "My Sharona" -- that's the single most underappreciated guitar solo of the 80s. Go and track down the original album version, not the single edit -- it's the longer form that will appear in Rock Band, and it totally cooks."


N.I.B and My Sharona, I called both of those songs a while ago...DLC...on disc same thing :D



but yea, it's the longer version w/ the great solo...such a great song.

[masterx1918]

well I didn't know if the album version was longer than 4:55 or not.

[Nilsen581]

Oh, that I don't know.

But I wouldn't think there were more than 2 versions.


I would assume the original was the one on the album w/ the solo and being 4:55 they cut it down for the single.

[Nilsen581]

yes i have 2 profiles and for some reason this one works for sending messages and stuff :P

MY SHARONA JUST CAME ON THE RADIO!!!!


OMGZZZZZZZZZZ


lol

The most interesting line from that new post was this:

All the tracks are masters, except for the ones with asterisks -- those are cover versions, and if you're curious to know why some artists only seem to appear as re-creations...um, check our forthcoming January issue. Heh heh heh.

Now my curiousity is piqued.

[Desensitized]

I posted the studio version in the info thread, but it wasn't put into the main post.

It kicks the ass of the single version.

"also got to play bass on "N.I.B.," and the bass practically played me."

Perhaps Basically is the intro to the song? :eek: :eek:

[Apples]

For my tastes, My Sharona was the most pleasant and surprising song of any DLC track I tried. All 4 instruments were good. Will be DLC purchase numero uno for me. The lead guitar solo will surprise a lot of people.

The article writer gave it a good and accurate review.

[Nilsen31]

^ damn straight


ever since GH came out I've wanted My Sharona in the game...now it's in rock band...even more goodness!!!
