Official Discussion Thread: DLC Week of 3/12 - Three Days Grace 3 Pack

[WonderWaageUK]

Nothing for me this week. But maybe someone can answer my question.

Why does everyone love this band but hate Nickleback? They sound exactly alike.

So true. Haha. Both are awful.

Because all Nickelback sings about is sex and alcohol.

Now that we've got Puddle of Mudd, Limp Bizkit, and Three Days Grace in the past year, all I need left is Hate Me by Blue October and I can make my setlist of 'Early 00s Bands with Adults Having Teen Angst'

I'll get "I Hate..."

[Meat-Popsicle]

"Kitty Fight Song" looked like an awesome one to buy to drive my guitar player crazy. Oh, but it's not an annoying novelty song, as I would have guessed ... actually, it's a local band, and after reading about them I'm eager to catch their next show, and to buy some of their other tracks that are already available for PS3. This article includes an interesting story about how one of their fans got them into the RBN.

Oh, their next show is as the opening band for the Psychedelic Furs, excellent.

Listened to 2 of the 3 songs. I'm calling a big fat old man PASS this week.

You're confusing them with AC/DC

What a cool interview.

M.C.: We’re surrounded by talented friends and we’ve also had some really good fortune. So, not only photography and videography, but we were also put in the Rock Band video game because somebody saw us at a show and formed a little bit of a liking for us and started coming to lots of our shows and then they programmed us into the game. So, we’ve been really, really lucky with friends and the people that we’ve attracted.

Which song is in Rock Band?

Chris: All of them.

Josh: All five of the songs are going to be.

M.C.: They aren’t all currently available. “Echo” is available and “El Monstro” is available.

Josh: It started with just “Echo” but people received it really, really well and so the guy that did “Echo” for us asked us to do another one. So, “El Monstro” went on there. Then he said, “Well, everyone’s asking for it, so screw it, let’s just put the whole EP on there.

M.C.: And he has been to our live shows and they’re already waiting for our next set of recordings.

Congratulations!

Josh: Thanks. It’s really neat. It’s really cool to be able to see the avatar of your band or of yourself playing your own music in digital form. It’s unreal.

Chris: Especially if you’re astronomically ****ing terrible at these video games like I am. I can’t play Guitar Hero or Rock Band worth a ****. So, it’s sweet that people can rock out and do a much better job than I could.

M.C.: It was really funny, but of my friends has a younger sister that’s in high school and she goes to the high school that I went to, where I was not a particularly popular student. She was riding the bus home from school one day and listening to “Echo” on her iPod and a couple of the girls on her bus were like, “Oh, I know that song. It’s on Rock Band.” She was all excited and said, “Well, I know the band, socially!” It’s cool what these weird, awesome things have done for us.

Josh: We should probably also clarify and mention that it’s available for Rock Band on the Rock Band Network, which is the online database for Rock Band for the Xbox 360. I’m just saying, it’s not like you can go out and buy Rock Band in the store and we’re immediately on it. You have to purchase it. I’m sure people know that, but I just wanted to clarify.

Have you guys played your songs on Rock Band?

M.C.: Yeah. It’s funny because on facebook you can see where your fans are coming from and it’s like, a high school student in somewhere in rural Washington State purchased our song and then all their classmates did. So, it’s an interesting little phenomenon. We’ve also got people following in Canada. So yeah, we’ve gotten a following on Rock Band.

Chris: Wait, were you asking if we’d played it ourselves?

Yes.

Chris: No, and I’ve been dying to, due on the comment about me being really ****ty at those games.

Josh: I would not like to try because I think I’d suck at it.

M.C.: I would love to try but I don’t have the most current version. I am kind of hoping that we find somebody’s house or party or something where we can play it.

Chris: I’m dying to play it. When you look at the drum parts, the way it was authored, and I hope Andy knows how good a job he did, every drum hit is on exactly the way it should be. So, I’m dying to play it because I’m hoping I can just sit down and play it the way I would play it and have it be right. I’ve never had that experience when I’ve played the game before. So, I’m hoping that it’ll be that.

Josh: Somebody told me that if you suck at these games, if you do it on Expert, you’ll do a better job. So, I’m hoping I can do it like that.

I'll check out "Pain" for the keys. Otherwise, congrats to the fans!
