RBN Artist of the Month is Alien Ant Farm, and they want to hear from you!

[SMBZFan]

Hi there. First off, I want to say that I am one of the few that first knew you for something other than Smooth Criminal, but don't get me wrong, I do like your cover of Smooth Criminal. I guess one question that I have is that often when I like a band, or get interested in one, I always find out that they have funny stories either when they're on tour, or when they make an album. Do you guys have any funny stories of your own? Other than that, I think that it's cool that you have the opportunity and that I would like to hear more of your music through the game. I know that one of my friends has the entire Anthology album and would probably like to sing those songs in our band. I'd personally like to play the song Wish, since that was the first song by you guys that I've heard, but that's just me.

Do you guys retain the rights to all your recordings? If so, how did you manage to do that?

[Afrobean]

I mean... not to derail the thread... but I highly HIGHLY doubt that anyone from AAF knows anything about the Movies "scandal."

What exactly happened there, anyway? I missed it when the song first came out, and I stumbled across it while browsing the RBN after it had been made unavailable. I was really excited at first when I saw it too, because I love that song. Probably my favorite of any Alien Ant Farm song I've heard. I haven't been to the store in a few weeks; it's not back yet, is it? When will it be back? How about "Wish"?

Also, I googled and saw a video of the vocals for "Movies", and maybe it's just me and my poor understanding of pitch, but I can't see how it's incorrectly charted. Can anyone identify any specific areas that aren't right?

The vocals were in very bad shape when it was released so it was pulled to be fixed. The new chart was made by one of the best vocal authors in the RBN community, if not the best. The fixed version only passed recently and should appear in the store today.

If you don't know much about vocal authoring then the old chart might not have seemed all that wrong from just looking at it, but compare it to the new chart and you can clearly see how the tube timings were way off in places, a lot of slides were not charted.

I know the original plan was to release all of ANThology onto the RBN over the course of a year (3 each quarter). That timeline seems pretty off now. Do you still plan on releasing the rest of the album onto the RBN? (I look forward to Wish, Sticks and Stones and Calico)

Also, just so you know, after buying the 3 RBN tracks, I ended up buying the full album on Amazon.

If I downloaded the first one, is there any way for me to get the fixed one?

Ask the authors about that, Alt-Strum Productions. They were giving out codes shortly after the first song was pulled but apparently they have run out recently.

How did you get involved in Rock Band (Network) and what are your opinions of Rock Band/rhythm games?

[VictimOfConvenience]

First off, how did it feel to perform at the Michael Forever tribute concert in London?

Also, with the original lineup back together and having just signed to a new label, what can we expect from the upcoming album?

I hope you guys know how freaking thrilled your fans are that you're back together and about to hit the studio, by the way. Melt faces!
