Which songs would you like to play if a keyboard was added to Rock Band?

[sssrcr85]

I saw a report yesterday that said the Beatles game might add a keyboard. Which makes sense since a lot of their stuff is piano based. If some kind of peripheral like this would be added to RB, which songs would you like to play?

Here are the few songs I can think off the top of my head. I'm sure I'm missing dozens. Please add yours.:)

Silverchair - Emotion Sickness
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xy60WlJS0Mk

Silverchair - Straight Lines
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jCjtcrAO5ws

The Beatles - Hey Jude
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YXG83p2nkHw

Guns N' Roses - November Rain
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=siBoLc9vxac

Guns N' Roses - Estranged
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4YmwJpnor6o

Radiohead - Reckoner
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8OS1U8LjjZw

Radiohead - Karma Police
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g9xklAMMG5w

[citric_bullets]

Your list has no Emerson, Lake and Palmer. That's a problem.

[sssrcr85]

Your list has no Emerson, Lake and Palmer. That's a problem.

Nice add. I did say I was missing a bunch though.

[sssrcr85]

No doubt.

The Doors come to mind, especially Touch Me.

[Drew-Wilson]

Children Of Bodom - Follow the Reaper (specifically starting at 2:50)

Well ... Children of Bodom in general.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-f9B5Ki36BQ&feature=related

[Yeti-Lee]

"Jump" - Van Halen, but I want that even without keyboards.

[pmpboarder]

Pretty sure everyone here who knows me know my answer to that question.

And everyone here who looks at avatars and signatures can probably figure it out.

[citric_bullets]

Nice add. I did say I was missing a bunch though.

I saw that after i said that. Oops :D

Afterthought: Kashmir, Dancing Days, Since I've Been Loving You all from the Zeppelin camp.

[DreamTheater53093]

Dream Theater - In The Presence of Enemies

[princeofcups777]

Off the top of my head:
Killing Joke
Devo
Fleetwood Mac
Queen
The Damned
Blondie
The Stranglers
Toyah
Shriekback
The Cure
Elton John
Gary Numan
Nine Inch Nails
Freeze Pop
My Life with the Thrill Kill Kult
KMFDM
The Doors

[bandaddy]

I'll jump on the REO Speedwagon.

[JAM810]

OMG ... if they add key boards to RockBand that would friggin' be AWESOME! I'd love to see anything by Billy Joel, Elton John, YES, ELP (Keith Emerson), Journey, Styx, Stevie Wonder, Asia, Herbie Hancock, Deep Purple, Ray Charles & Jerry Lee Lewis:D

[mattandlaura]

Final Countdown.

This. I'll totally also second Jump from Van Halen.

Also...

-Perfect Strangers by Deep Purple (Universal's disabled embedding of their Youtube Videos, so no dice.)


-The keyboard track added into Highway Star from Deep Purple. We were thinking you'd get to play the ridiculous keyboard solo on the guitar during pre-release, but were wrong.

-Undecided by James Labrie

-The entire NIN Pretty Hate Machine Album

[Alvarado6411]

Anything by The Doors

[DarkEternal37]

Dream Theeeeeeeeateeeeer. Octavarium!!!

[bdrizzle14]

i'd have to say riders on the storm from the doors

[UneasyMonkey]

Karn Evil 9 - Emerson Lake and Palmer
Burn - Deep Purple
Light My Fire - The Doors
Goodbye Stranger - SuperTramp

edit: Also, Roundabout - Yes
But you would have to also be able to play drums for Karn Evil 9, guitar for Burn, and bass for Roundabout...maybe the game could allow five, instruments, but only any combination of four at a time. Then we could play YYZ with four people...

[citric_bullets]

Dream Theeeeeeeeateeeeer. Octavarium!!!

This just makes me think "Dreeeeeeam Weaver!"

Which reminds me of my time in Web Design...

[DaddyO]

Light My Fire by the Doors
House of the Rising Sun by the Animals

[SilverTongue]

Pink Floyd!

To many songs too list, but Any Colour You Like/Brain Damage/Eclipse sprang to mind.

:D

[silentragedy]

motion city soundtrack!

[DookieMan]

Light My Fire.

[ZigZag2005]

Anything by Genesis, Yes, Supertramp, ELP, Floyd, and a whole lot of others that escape me at the moment.

[NathanM]

I came into this thread just to mention Roundabout by Yes for keyboards. Bass would also be extremely fun on this song. Roundabout would straight up kick your ass on keyboards though.

[Swivle]

Bohemian Rhapsody. I'm amazed it hasn't been mentioned yet.

And Dream Theater.

[Khiro]

HMXSean said NO ONE from HMX has EVER said ANYTHING about a keyboard. The keyboard thing is pure speculation, and rumours created to get lots of views. So no, a bit too early to celebrate, so don't look forward to any keyboard in rock baand announcement

[macamatic]

Dark Tranquillity. The Poison Well or Terminus (Where Death is Most Alive) would be AMAZING.

The Poison Well:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=96C-Pwp7o1Y

Terminus (Where Death is Most Alive)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uZCjn1IHuvI

I HIGHLY recommend you watch at least the second video, because regardless of how you feel about the song you have to agree that the video (which is, in fact, the official video) is just overflowing with win. They also just happen to be two of the best songs ever (in my opinion, of course).

I'm treating this as a 'what if' thread. But you're right, don't hold your breath.

So this is just a rumor? (http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5g9EF8pLF8poHdLjRZyEKGiPqwRiQD945HGSO0) Awww. :(


Game developers also plan to introduce a keyboard, which would be a first in the music game market.

[NoFC]

If a Keyboard was added?

I think Pink Floyd would be the most obvious answer.

[Pezell04x]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X-Ajho60XPI

[SaintJ44]

Zzyzx Rd. By Stone Sour

Maybe some Crazy Beetohven stuff (how ever you spell his name)

[Chocobo115]

Europe - The Final Countdown
Van Halen - Jump

[citric_bullets]

For additional challenge, i'm gonna pull a little Chopin from the classical music hat.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tvm2ZsRv3C8

I can see it now "ZOMG TEH OVERCHARTED!!!"

[zacharisis]

children of bodom!!! go watch their synth player do a solo! and dream theater would kick ass on synth too

[TommyGunn54]

wow, I can't believe no one said "Don't Stop Believin'" and "Open Arms" by Journey!

[TommyGunn54]

I'd also like to add that I think adding a keyboard would be completely and utterly anti-productive because it would eliminate many more songs than it would enable in future titles of Rock Band. Also, the screen is cluttered enough already...

[MrBazooka]

Final Countdown.

That, sir, would be a big heaping helping of win.

Failing that, though, how about "Chocolate Rain"?

[Gargoyle2500]

Almost any song The B-52's have made. I'll link to a few of their songs, Won't link to Love Shack though:

Legal Tender (This song is so happy!):

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

Private Idaho (I love Ricky's style of playing guitar):

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NDfT2NYHyD8

[Trocki]

The Doors. Anything by The Doors.

[Zenweaponry]

To RB as a whole? A hell of a lot of prog metal has keyboards, so those could be final tiers. They're ridiculous.

[kylerownsx62]

Queen is all that comes to my head at the moment.

[AquaShibby3000]

Jackie, Dressed in Cobras - New Pornographers

[orca432]

Roundabout by Yes. Heck Yes.

[korzo]

All of the Dresden Dolls!

[THRASHattack66]

I would go back and play all my Rush tracks for sure, play the Dream Theater tracks , and hope for some COB ( the keyboard is the best part )

[D-Quan]

I would like to play Laser Rain by the Blood Brothers. The keyboard in that song is awesome.

[GalacticVirus]

Um.... Daft Punk, anyone?

[DarkEternal37]

How bout this one?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0O2aH4XLbto

Not much else to it but keyboard but damn it would be fun. Ronald Jenkees is his name, "Throwing Fire" is the name of the song.

I still can't beleive there are no Genesis songs in Rock Band!! WTF!! They are only one of the greatest bands of all time, sooooo many hits, absolutely awesome to see live.
Would be soo incredible to play songs like:
Behind the Lines (amazing drums and guitars)
Firth of Fifth (again, amazing drums and awesome guitar solo).

[Cerrax]

"Karn Evil 9 (1st Impression Part 2)" by Emerson, Lake, and Palmer

Dirty Harry by Gorillaz.

I dont know what people have against gorillaz in Rockband, but keyboard would give them a second chance.

[Followell4]

Might as well...Jump? idk if I'd buy a keyboard to go with RB.

[My name is Fez]

Emerson, Lake & Palmer - The Barbarian

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2mrisQAKha4

Love that song to death

[deevineh8tred]

Anything by Children of Bodom

[Khiro]

I cant help but think about the charting. The only way this would be possible is if they made it with keys ontop of each other like this:


|||||||||||||
|||||||||||||


And then the notes would come up and down.

Hope that makes sense, can't be bothered with more detail.

[Nirvenes]

Roundabout by Yes.

[newfroJDIX]

Karma Police by Radiohead

[kraven]

Karma Police-Radiohead
Final Countdown-Europe
Evidence-Faith No More
Edge of the World-Faith No More
Let's Go Crazy-Prince
Jessice-Allman Brothers

[belialbradley]

I think keyboards in Rock Band would be genius. If they gave us Keytars that might even be cooler.

Mexican Radio- Wall of Voodoo

Shine on You Crazy-Diamond- Pink Floyd

Welcome to the Machine-Pink Floyd

Devo- Gates of Steel

RV- Faith No More

Air Conditioned Nightmare -Mr. Bungle

Reap the Wild Wind-Ultravox

Little Girls- Oingo Boingo

And if they added keyboards it just wouldn't be complete without..

The Final Countdown- Europe

[neger-katten]

The Doors... FOR **** SAKE THE DOORS!.. Light My Fire for instans.. keyboard from the beginning to the end.. (along with other instruments so it wont be boring for the other instruments).. crazy keyboard solo too :)
"When the Music is over" has always been one my fav. songs. we need that song in RB.. ESPECIALLY if Keyboards are added :O
And when speaking about Beatles.. what song is more suitable than "Let It Be"? :)

lol.. i just thought about the same thing.. it will be difficult to make a keyboard in the game.. not only because of the charting.. but.. FULL BAND?!?... Drums, Guitar, Bass, Vox, Keyboard on one tiny screen :S:S where the **** should it be placed? XD I really don't think its possible.. but we'll see..

... Lets not forget that new notes will eventually have to come to this magic strip. The scrolling interface is the only one making sense, and it WILL take more space that a small strip.

[dragonanthony86]

Dream Theater has an amazing keyboard player.

i'd love it if they could chart the keyboard solo in constant motion
in fact, pretty much any dream theater would be awesome on keyboard
