[tnevaker]

hey, this isn't the cure!
or ronnie milsap!

ok pack, i guess. congrats to the (real) Black Crowes for making it into the game.
i'll get She Talks To Angels and Remedy. will have to listen to that third song to decide if i'll be getting the whole pack or just those 2 songs.

Nothing for the list. Never been a BC fan.

I find it interesting that She Talks to Angels gets the pro guitar upgrade. My band covered that song back in the day, and IIRC the tablature we had for it specified some special open-chord tuning on guitar. Can any pro guitarists or HMX people shed some light on what happens with alternately-tuned songs like this? Are they charted for normal tuning or do you have to retune your Squiers for the one song?

they are charted the way they're played, using the alt-tuning. there are plenty of on-disc RB3 songs that use alt tunings. you only have to retune the squier if you play with the mute off; with mute on you can't hear the notes anyway.

Oops - I got my future BK track wrong. It will be Bottle Rocket, not Fireflies

Black Crowes were good.

Black Crowes with Jimmy Page were great. They'd play "Remedy", "She Talks To Angels", a Jimmy Page Yardbirds-era song, and 20+ Zeppelin songs.

Ahh...the good 'ol days.

You know, hmxhenry never mentioned the word "addiction" in his rambling post.

I guess we're not worthy enough company.

It would be cool to have "Hard To Handle" as originally done by Otis Redding

The Black Crowes are a nice surprise. Thanks Harmonix

Also, does hmxhenry have a forum crush on jibjqrkl?

And if so, does his wife/girlfriend know?

And if she does...is she cool with it?

Because that would be like totally awesome and stuff.

Another cool week. The Black Crowes are one of the last "classic rock" band before the grunge explosion, in my own humble opinion, and these songs will be a great addition to the Rock Band catalogue. I think the cover of Hard To Handle is just fine so I'm not bummed about that. I'll be buying the pack and crossing my fingers for Twice As Hard in the future.

Good start for December.

I gave them a listen and I already forgot how any of them sounded outside of the riff of that acoustic one so I think I will pass. Happy for the fans though
