Appeal for songs to be let past filter

[DeejayDan]

Well they need to let Anberlin on LRB. Come on its a Christian Rock Band, they let Monster by Skillet on so why not Feel Good Drag?

Mentions of the Devil, lust, and sex implications make it a no-no.

Boys and Girls has the sex implications (as does Fire), but they're much more subtle. Heck, Fire was inspired by a dog (Hence the "Move over Rover" line)

Still makes me laugh when I play this with the kids and see Still Alive there...

"Even though you broke my heart.
And killed me."

Yes it is about a machine, but young kids would not know this.

even if they didn't know they'd probably think the songs is funny even though they probably hate it instrumentally

Well its not that bad. The machine does not die, but it "died" a little inside, when "you" broke "my" heart.

That's my guess, but i could be wrong.

ON THE ROAD AGAIN/NO RAIN
Fair point. I don't see anything bad here. I'm guessing the back story on the artists could play a part, but that obviously seems like an inconsistent standard.[/QUOTE]

That sounds right, because No Rain is by Blind Melon, the word blind could make a very overprotective parent mad. But, I don't see anything wrong with on the road again.

"On the Road Again" was originally released on the Country Track Pack disc which came out months before Lego, so the new songs from it didn't have the ratings in the metadata. They didn't come out as DLC until AFTER Lego, and I think they slipped through the cracks when Harmonix went back and added ratings to the old songs.

I really doubt "Blind" is the reason why it wouldn't go through.

It was available for download though the track pack export though, so there's no reason the on-disc filter (I'm sure there's one for older DLC) couldn't have picked it up though. It's possible HMX just forgot about them trying to get it out.

The filter drives me nuts - not because I'm offended that only family friendly songs should be played in Lego Rock Band (because that makes sense). No, I can't stand it because it doesn't work. Casey Jones (fabulous song), but "god damn" got through the filters? Under the Bridge got through and it's about drug addiction and loneliness. Just don't get the point of it some days.

The Free 20 only come with a new copy of RB2 (or, Wii folks can grab them as singles for free in the store).

The other 6:

Charlene (I'm Right Behind You) - Steven and the Colberts +
Still Alive - GlaDOS and Johnathon Coltrain +
Promised Land - Vesuvius
Headphones On - Miranda Cosgrove +
Dreaming of Love - Lights resolve +
Am I Crazy - Little Fish + (Released this week)

+ songs being in Lego (Not quite sure why Promised Land didn't pass the filter, other than for maybe the gun shot reference.

Also, none of these are available for the Wii.

From promised land "payback can be such a b****"
