DLC Discussion Thread Week of 10/9: Singles from Billy Squier & A Flock of Seagulls!

[Dangimarocker]

I Ran is alright, but Billy Squire is awful. Not a good week at all.

Matchbox Twenty fan...

It was a re-record on Vice City? I didn't know that.

GTA tends to do rerecords on songs a lot. Not because they can't get the original songs, but sometimes the artists throw in references to their fictitious universe. It's really fascinating the level of detail in those games.

Larry David's thoughts on this week's DLC

What an excellent week! I'd say that even if I Ran was the only song, but the Billy Squier songs really add the icing on the cake. Can't wait for Tuesday!

Finally, a REALLY SUPER AWESOME WEEK!!! Harmonix FTW!!!

Great week for me - I've wanted Billy Squier in RB for years (regular songs - not the Christmas one). Flock of Seagulls is fun too.

From Billy - I'd love to see Emotions in Motion - Freddie Mercury does vocals on that with him.

I know GTA4 did this, but I don't think any of the songs in Vice City have such direct references to the game (aside from Lovefist, obviously). And I had not heard before that any of the songs on the game were re-records. I Ran has a couple different edits that came out when the song came out, it is possible that Vice City used one of those.

For some reason I thought I Ran was already in Rock Band. Im gonna pick that one up, but not the other 2.

(p.s. 2 new artists next week too)

Are you suuuuuuuure? Hint: we have already gotten some Foo Fighters once upon a time. Hehe.

[Dangimarocker]

Everybody Wants you is awful, sounds super repetitive...
but i'll grab the other two.
