Let me be the first to say:

HARMONIX SUCKZ NICKELBACK SUCKZ BOO!

Now you can resume your thoughtful and interesting discussion.

(And get ready your anti-troll flame suits).

[Spongye]

Oh HMX, your sheer determination at trolling never ceases to amaze me.

I'm in.

I know people love to hate on Nickelback, but their previous songs in Rock Band were a blast to play, and the songs are just straight up fun. I was at a Leafs game last night where they played the opening riffs from Animals and the crowd loved it.

[big_old_tom]

BOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

That being said, people should at least be happy about the 3 RHCP pro upgrades.

[diieeego]

WHAT IS THIS ABOUT? Why would anyone announce Nickelback early?!!

That's because they're from canada. They're forced to like them.

[The-Dude1212]

Like no one doesn't have the guilty pleasure of liking How You Remind Me or If Today Was Your Last Day.

But the RHCP upgrades is a nice touch.

[ThatAuthoringGroup]

Early announcemnt?

Or did I pass out from lack of sleep tuesday night and now it's Friday?
