What RB2 songs would and wouldn't pass the family-friendly filter?

"Battery" will most likely not make it in due to being about battery.

I thought Battery was about a club Mettalica played at in their earlier days I'm pretty sure I read that on RB2

From Wikipedia:

In keeping with the general "control" theme of Master of Puppets, the lyrics of "Battery" discuss the control that anger can have over one's behavior. The title refers to "battery" in the sense of "assault and battery", as shown by these lyrics: "Smashing through the boundaries / Lunacy has found me / Cannot stop the battery". In addition to the thematic interpretation of "battery" as control, the song is an homage to the Old Waldorf Club on Battery Street, San Francisco.Encyclopedia Metallica

So you're both right.

I would be very surprised if they would be able to get the rights to export "Battery", thanks to the Guitar Hero deal

They probably already have them. I'm pretty sure they learned from RB1 and got them included with the RB2 Disc contract.

I hope so!

Ah, that's something I didn't check... But I still think it would be strange that every song would require supervision. I mean, I fail to see how something like Pinball Wizard would offend. Is it wrong to say that this deaf, dumb and blind kid is good at pinball?

the SR is just there because the song is on a T rated game.

I know we probably won't get the opportunity to play Rock Band 2 songs in Lego Rock Band, but oh well, I thought this would be good to see what the people think.

For a start, I don't think any of the Impossible Band tier songs would pass the filter. I've also posted why I think it won't pass or lyrics that means it wouldn't pass. The lyrics are in quotations.

Peace Sells- "What do you mean I don't believe in God? Talk to him everyday" May offend the anti-religious...

On the LRB disc is "Free Fallin'": "She loves Jesus, and America too..." so I can't see that a religious reference per se would prevent something from getting through the filter. "Peace Sells" doesn't get through for some reason but it can't just be for that.
