Definitely getting Remedy and She Talks To Angels.

Speaking of angels, still waiting for an invite from someone with an XBox to let me come over and play "Mannequin". I'm in the official music video, for crying out loud! I gotta play it ... please don't make me wait until mid-January (at the earliest), when it comes to PS3.

I'll gas up the car when I get home & will check my messages to see which heavenly creature is hosting me...

I'd actually be down, but I checked your location and I hope you can do better than a 13-hour drive (each way)

Dear god...

HURRY UP AND COME TO PS3 GEMINI!!!

Fist-bump for considering it! I just installed XM radio, so I'm ready to go if nobody closer steps up before the new year.

Well Hekyll and Jekyll. Excellent band, excellent choices. Going to have to pick up some points since I spent them all on sale songs earlier this week.
I will echo the need for original version of Hard to Handle. The one I would reaaaaaaaly want to add is Hotel Illness. Such a great bluesy grinding guitar.

Put me down on the list of people who want a Original Version of Hard to Handle. Team it up with Twice as Hard and Jealous Again for Black Crowes Pack 02!

I just listened to the songs, and this will end up a maybe for me.

THIS

The Black Crowes have been on my wishlist for a while now, though I'm a bit surprised by the selection to be honest.

Remedy is a super fun song; I remember cruising around in GTA IV listening to it and thinking how perfect for RB it is. The other 2, while excellent songs, are a bit slow. It isn't necessarily a bad thing, but it makes them not particularly suited for party play, which is how a lot of people get introduced to music at my house.

I'll be buying all 3, of course, because TBC are amazing. I own every album by them, and am thrilled to see them make their (non-cover) RB debut. An original version of Hard To Handle would be an insta-buy for me. It's just a shame we won't be getting any of their extremely punchy, guitar and keys driven rock numbers.

ALSO - BRIAN KAHANEK YESSSSS!! I've had half of my points in Rock Band Dashboard allotted to this guy, glad he finally made it to the platform.

For those of you who played GH2, Gemini was what I consider to be the standout track from that game, located in the bonus songs section. It's super fun, has a great melody, and is quite challenging on the guitar. For those of you who haven't checked out any of Brian's other work, he is a MASTER blues player. His band is incredible, and he has 3 studio albums that will blow any blues fan away. He has confirmed via Facebook that Fireflies will be released for RBN at some point, but here's hoping for even more. Look him up on YouTube and sample some songs, you won't regret it.

Pro guitar for She Talks to Angels????? Harmonix, you are too good to me!! Thanks for the b-day gift (birthday is tomorrow).

Plus more Amberian Dawn, Dance for the Dying, and MC Lars? Sign me up!

The Black Crowes to me have a bit in common with Lenny Kravitz. They both had that classic rock sound at a time when the classic rock era was just about done, but wasn't yet "classic." But more importantly, it's good stuff, and this is a good pack. I'm buying everything, including the pro upgrade.

Huh. Um. I don't think I even know any Black Crows songs other than Hard to Handle... I guess I'll give them a listen...

You may find yourself with one or two "oh, that song!" moments, particularly with "She Talks to Angels." I found Shake Your Money Maker on the cheap just a couple of weeks ago and gave the whole thing a listen for the first time. I thought "Hard to Handle" was the only song I knew also, but "Twice as Hard," "Jealous Again" and "She Talks to Angels" all jogged my memory.

I do hope we get some more Black Crowes in the future. An "Original Version" of "Hard to Handle" would also be nice. But either way, thanks for this pack!

Also bought the John Parr, Amberian Dawn and Anarchy Club tracks off the RBN. Very nice week this week.
