Official Discussion: DLC Week of 11/20: 6 Singles Spanning 6 Decades!

I know, that screen on the title menu that shows up telling you you can't play the songs you bought unless you're connected to rock central really sucks

[Munnchy]

I would go this route:

* The Allman Brothers Band – “Jessica” O X
* The Band – “The Weight (live)” O X
* Nine Inch Nails – “Closer” O
* John Parr - "St. Elmo's Fire" (yes, RBN song outselling regular DLC)
* Modern English – “I Melt With You” O
* Crossfade – “Cold”
* Dragonforce – “Cry Thunder” O

Dragonforce last? I would have thought it would be in the top 3. I reckon Cold will be the lowest on the list.

It will sell well to the h4x0rzzez who thrive on hard-as-balls DLC. The rest of us, who have already heard every DragonForce song ever (by hearing one DragonForce song) will likely pass.

Okay, can we all talk?

How the hell do all DragonForce songs sound the same? Seriously, I want to know? I hear remotely different songs when listening to this week's offering and TTFAF. It's like this with their other songs, as well. Sure, it's structured similarly, but you know why? Because that's how the band plays. By the same logic applied to say that all DragonForce songs sound alike, you could say all songs by any artists sounds alike, save those artists who's styles never stayed in one place, like The Beatles.

Such a cornucopia of sound!

They all sound different to me.

Again, it's a playing style. And they chose songs with a similar structure. You know how artists like Led Zeppelin have a bluesy playing style? Well, since all their songs save one or two use similar blues structures, THEY ALL SOUND THE SAME!!!!!

You see what I mean?

[SheSaidSheSaid]

Then WEEEE....are on TWOOOO...different wavelengths!

Peter...Griffin.

Thanks for coming out.

[HeyRiles]

Singling out DragonForce for having a similar sound between all their songs is like singling out strawberries for being edible

[SheSaidSheSaid]

Seriously though, if that's your idea of a diverse and varied style...then I don't know what I can tell ya.
