That Authoring Group request thread

[SirDavidTLynch]

Actually there's some reasons (that we're not going to get into publicly), but just know that there's no chance of ever seeing Fly to the Angels (or any of those other EMI bands that were up then disappeared) either on RBN or as official DLC.

So no hope for a $2 copy of "Atomic" with the bass solo intact? That sucks.

Yes please! In my top 3 artists Guitar Hero has, that Rock Band doesn't. I'd kill for "Nowhere Freeway" (since I assume new material would come first).

I've just listened to that song on Youtube. I'm stunned, thats now 3 songs i've heard from them I really like. One of there songs I'm sure I came across on the ATV/Motocross game, "Pure".

I'm a huge fan of Rishloo and love that you guys were able to bring them into the game, so I thought I'd throw some requests/suggestions your way:

• Pensioner (Facebook / Example Song)
• Opus Dai (Facebook / Example Song)
• Unholy Tongues (Facebook / Example Song)
• Oceansize (Facebook / Example Song)
• Howler (Facebook / Example Song)
• The Rural Alberta Advantage (Facebook / Example Song)

I am requesting the band Sloppy Seconds. They are a punk band from the 80s that had just starting touring again a few years ago. I saw them live and they are awesome. My friends bought me their album "Destroyed" and I couldn't stop playing it. Here is a sample off of Destroyed: Black Roses

By the way, is there any chance of getting any Dethklok in RBN? I know that they had a few songs in Guitar Hero.

Also, what about Green Jello/Green Jelly? If you don't know who they are, they had a hit in the 90's called "Three Little Pigs", but the entire album called the Cereal Killer Soundtrack was pretty awesome.
Here is the Three Little Pigs video: Three Little Pigs

That's...a weird choice. Not that it's chiptune, because that's a staple of RBN2, but...the side project to an internet reviewer?

Not that weird really. RBN has the intro to Psyguys podcast on it.
Although, it is still an odd band request.

Is GamerBeats still around? If not can someone contact Bloom? I love the song we have and would really love more.

Weird about EMI, didn't we just get Coldplay? Poison is also an EMI band IIRC... Is it a recent falling out? Was really hoping for Slaughter and Great White

Anything come of me sending Junkyard your way?

As for requests..

Dangerous Toys
Warrant
Ratt
Slade
Quiet Riot
Robert Palmer

The post specified artists that almost came through RBN.

[Dragonclaw]

Yes...but there was THIS response...

Those last few words would seem to indicate something more serious. The other posts also indicated the problems were with EMI as a whole. Not just Slaughter...

Here are some independent artists (as in they retain the rights to their own music for the most part) I'd love to see in the game:

Stemage - aka Grant Henry, guitarist and arranger for Metroid cover band Metroid Metal. He has composed the music for XBLIG release Alpha Squad, released an original album called Zero Over Zero, and has written other original stuff previously.

chunkstyle - Bandmate with Stemage, has an original album of material released under the name Yes, Mayhem.

Jake Kaufman - aka virt, sound designer and composer for game developer WayForward. He's written (and still retains the rights to) the music for Shantae: Risky's Revenge, Mighty Milky Way/Flip Champs/Switch Force, Bloodrayne: Betrayal, and has written dozens of other original songs, some of which can be heard on his album Kwakfest.

I Fight Dragons - A pop-rock band with chiptune elements, similar to Anamanaguchi.

Frank Klepacki - Composer for the Command & Conquer game series, he has also independently released six albums of original music which would make keyboardists and guitarists very happy.

Teleidofusion - A mindblowing meld of 8-bit chiptune and guitar that seriously NEEDS to be in Rock Band.

Danimal Cannon - Guitarist for game cover band ARMCANNON, Dan has really come into his own as of late with writing original material. I'd love to have some of the songs from his album Roots in the game, especially Danimal Across America.

EDIT: Also, I'd personally love to see some Homestar Runner songs like Trogdor and Because it's Midnite return from Guitar Hero, if only to have them with full band parts.
