Zoso's Rock Band 5 (No, really)

[ZosoBaron]

Yes, I decided to make a Rock Band 5 setlist. Not because I expect to see a Rock Band 5 any time soon, but as a companion to my Rock Band 4 and Rock Band Jr. setlists. The self-imposed challenge of repeating no artists remains.

Cameo "Word Up!" (R&B/Soul/Funk)

-Korn's version is on L:RB, but besides that... eh.

[GameMaster439]

The Dillinger Escape Plan listed as Alternative? Wut? It doesn't look bad, I would consider buying it and 98 songs seems a bit steep.

Also, no way Five Finger Death Punch is Nu-Metal. Nu-Metal is a fusion of rap and metal. FFDP has absolutely no elements of rap.

I was just thinking that and Rites of Spring as Punk is debatable as well though it is closer to it's actual genre.

The genre is a little tricky to pin down for them.

Eh, Harmonix seems to like lumping in harder post-grunge with nu-metal. I just went with it.

They are a Mathcore/Experimental Metal band. Though more Mathcore than Experimental Metal now, and with Five Finger Death Punch would be labeled as Metal. Hard to See always seemed odd that it was put in Rock, then again so are all the newest A Day to Remember songs....
