They said Closer has the same word censored 30 times, and that's it. on Tweeter, I mean twitter.

That cant be right. The f word only shows up 4 times.

"I wanna rock you like an animal"?

Makes sense.

It has to be sarcasm unless they are taking words that also mean **** as the same word, then it might be closer.

"The Weight" is most likely from "Rock of Ages".

It's also #41 on Rolling Stone's Top 500 songs list.

And #3 on the list of best-ever songs by Canadian artists (from a list created polling people in the Canadian music industry).

1. “American Woman,” The Guess Who
2. “Heart of Gold,” Neil Young
3. “The Weight,” The Band
4. “Summer of ’69,” Bryan Adams
5. “Hallelujah,” Leonard Cohen
6. “Born to Be Wild,” Steppenwolf
7. “If You Could Read My Mind,” Gordon Lightfoot
8. “Takin’ Care of Business,” Bachman Turner Overdrive
9. “Four Strong Winds,” Ian and Sylvia
10. “Snowbird,” Anne Murray
11. “Big Yellow Taxi,” Joni Mitchell
12. “Tom Sawyer,” Rush
13. “Try,” Blue Rodeo
14. “New Orleans Is Sinking,” Tragically Hip
15. “The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald,” Gordon Lightfoot

Man, do we need more of that top 15. This week brings us to 4. Sad that one of them got lost in RBN approval hell.

Is "The Weight" from The Last Waltz or some other live album The Band did?

Can we get official confirmation on this? I thought after the the Tommy Tutone thing we weren't going to have to guess what version of a song is coming.

Makes it really difficult for vocal players to learn lryics / pitches when a completely different version could hit (especially on live versions)

I pulled into rockband com, I was lookin' for announcement thread
Just another Friday morn, so I can hang my head
"Hey, mister, can you tell me where a man might spend his bread?"
He just grinned and shook my hand and, "Yes", was all he said

Take a load off Henry
Take a load for free
Take a load off Henry
And you put the load right in DLC

I picked up my Strat and I went lookin' for a place to hide
When I saw Trent and the Allmans walkin' side by side
And I said, "Wow, Modern English, I remember 'I Melt With You' ",
And they said, "Well, not just that; 'Jessica' and 'Closer', too"

Take a load off Henry
Take a load for free
Take a load off Henry
And you put the load right in DLC

Awesome finally seeing a re write that's not calling for my head!

I've asked the DLC Production team for details on the live version of The Weight, whether we're expecting the single or album cut of Jessica, and specifics on the editing in Closer. I'll update when I hear back from them.

Every week someone asks about song lengths. You might as well add them to the announcement like you did pro-keys.
