Weird Al - Pick a three pack

[Dangimarocker]

"Heard It Through the Grapevine" is a lot of fun on Guitar but drums, bass and vocals (or at least half the song for vocals) aren't anything to write home about.

Not every song that comes out is going to be a rock and roll time for all 4 (now 5) instruments. But thankfully we're evolving past that phase where if it was boring on guitar it was a terrible DLC song.

I thought the drums were better than the guitar.
Bass isn't too bad either.. but yes vocals suck :P

Germs than CNR. Not really the other two. King of Suede, Yoda, Craigslist, I Think I'm a Clone Now are some of the his other songs that I think would be cool on rock band.

The "straight up parodies" are not available for use in this project, it appears.

how much more? the three pack. we're weary about doing three packs as is. like Noble said, Dare to Be Stupid is almost guaranteed to be in the first kickstarter pack, but whether the pack will feature two other artists or two more from WA is undetermined still.

I doubt we would shoot for more WA after this set, there's just so much awesome out there that needs its chance to be in RB

I agree. I'm sure even you guys can't really anticipate exactly how the first Kickstarter will go. Once it's out there, I'm sure everybody can start to adjust their projections/expectations accordingly

I'm probably the only one who's sort of glad.

No Amish Paradise? (I know, I know.)

I'm with this. Some, if not nearly all, of my favorite Weird Al songs are his originals.

I guess if their number crunchers came to the conclusion that it wouldn't be profitable, this could be our chance to prove them wrong. Or prove them right, I suppose. We'll see.

However this turns out, it'd be difficult to prove them right or wrong. HMX has to consider licensing fees and labor costs. With this Kickstarter idea, they don't have to worry about either of those. So if Weird Al on the RBN sells quite a bit, we still have no way of knowing if it would have offset the licensing and labor costs on their end had it been official DLC.

Anyway, assuming everything goes according to plan, this RBN approach is going to work out a lot better for HMX in the end. They pay no licensing or labor on their end and get to share 70% of all the music's revenue with Microsoft.

Oh i hope Germs don't beat out Nature Trail....
Germs will be so boring compared to Nature.
*Songs will determine if i give any money*

[doodley11]

My 2 songs from the list are:

Nature Trail to Hell
When I Was Your Age

If parodies are allowed in the future Amish Paradise would be my top choice.
