[DanManRocker]

That's a lot of 70s. And I feel like there's less 90s-2010s. There are people who will want more of that.

Buuuuuuuuuuuuut... I like it as it stands. I like your 50s to 80s setlist.

That's a lot of 70s. And I feel like there's less 90s-2010s. There are people who will want more of that.

Buuuuuuuuuuuuut... I like it as it stands. I like your 50s to 80s setlist.

This setlist is far from Final. I am probably going to be open to stuff that people suggest for more 90's and 2000's. As for 2010's, I feel that 3 songs is about enough for a decade that is relatively young.

I'm surprised people aren't b*tching about Cassandra Gemini being the song by The Mars Volta I picked as it is EXTREMELY long (about 33 minutes). However, it was one of the songs by a new artist that I could think of that would qualify as an all-devils song. I was kinda going about the excuse that as RB4 will more likely than not be on the next generation of consoles, we would be able to make a larger setlist and have a greater average track length (one or two epics).

I'll add some songs to the 80's, 90's, and 00's this afternoon.

[Metalhead911]

Okay. I've tiered the following 26 songs in the setlist via NearlyLifeLike's site. I'll be uploading them all tonight. I plan to do the rest of the setlist within the next week. Here are the 26 I did...

• Johnny B. Goode
• Layla
• After Midnight
• Cassandra Gemini
• Bat Out Of Hell
• Heroin
• Paradise City
• (You Gotta) Fight For You Right (To Party!)
• Tunnel Of Love
• Lovin' Touchin' Squeezin'
• Kill The King
• Rock Bottom (Live)
• Victim Of Changes (Live)
• Paranoid Android
• Rock The Night
• Like A Rolling Stone
• Symptom Of The Universe
• Tommy The Cat
• I Wanna Rock
• Takin' Care Of Business
• Cemetary Gates
• Come Sail Away
• Beat It
• Born To Be Wild
• Cars
• As He Creates, So He Destroys

And the tiers are uploaded. And yes, Cassandra Gemini is ALL DEVILS!!!! So it is the new hardest song across the full band in Rock Band if I had my way.

Holy crap! Somebody else knows who Fields of the Nephilim are! We totally need them in RB!

[Henry_Sardonicus]

Two things:

1: Sound Chaser? I love you.

2: Implying Beat It wouldn't be devil-tiered on vocals.

[Mileycyrussoulja]

I see Gary Numan on this list, so I am already happy with it. Good job including him; one of my favorite electronica artists.

Also, I don't think you should include more than one song without guitar on a setlist. If you want it to be realistic, that is. RB3 is the only game to have a song without guitar, and I think having more than one on an on-disc list is stretching it. Aside from Cars and Gangnam Style, there may be more.

Oh, you spelled Lionel Richie's last name wrong, and you didn't capitalize the T in Chuck Berry is On Top on Johnny B Goode's tier.

[Metalhead911]

Holy crap! Somebody else knows who Fields of the Nephilim are! We totally need them in RB!

I agree. I heard a few songs by them last summer (three from Elizium and Blue Water) and the only sound I can compare them to is The Cure circa Disintegration. Only a good deal darker.

Two things:

1: Sound Chaser? I love you.

2: Implying Beat It wouldn't be devil-tiered on vocals.

Sound Chaser is probably one of the few songs by Yes that would be balanced enough for an on-disc setlist, isn't more than ten minutes long, is from their 70's prime, and would still be a challenge. That is why I picked it. That and I regard Yes with the same reverence that most people regard Muse with on the RB forums.

And Beat It isn't a devil on vocals. Maybe it should be, though. I might change it.

Well, I probably will be switching out songs whenever I see them.

Also, I'm surprised nobody is saying "TOO LONG FOR ON-DISC" about Cassandra Gemini because it lasts for over a half-hour.

And LOL, you're right. I can't believe that I didn't catch that. I'll correct Richie right quick. And I'll correct Johnny B. Goode whenever I do some more tier's tomorrow.

And in case anyone didn't notice, After Midnight's tiers are reflective of the 1988 re-recording that Clapton did for a popular beer commercial. The version on the 1970 album "Eric Clapton" is noticeably faster in tempo and is significantly shorter than the '88 version. However, I heard the '88 version and wanted to put it in the game. The album art is the 1970 album because (as far as I am aware of), Clapton never put the '88 version on any of his albums.

[Mileycyrussoulja]

Yeah...you should definitely swap out the song over a half-hour. I know you love really long songs (I've seen the stuff you requested in some tier threads ;P) but it would be completely pointless for you to include a song that long in this setlist if you're trying to make it realistic. The longest Harmonix has gone was just under 10 minutes.

Also thanks for correcting those. I have a good eye so I'll tell you if I spot any more. xP

EDIT: Cemetery Gates is spelled wrong

Yeah, this is the first attempt. Think of it as a rough draft to an essay. There will be imperfections. I am eventually going to swap out the song that is over a half-hour long, but for now, that song is going to be a placeholder for THAT ONE SONG that is devils on all instruments (and just listening to it, it obviously deserves that ranking) that will last until I can find a different song that fits that bill. And won't require me to have to stretch it as badly as Llama's vocal tiering.

EDIT: I found the song I will be swapping out. It will be Golaith, also by The Mars Volta. Was earlier tiered by GandWuser and was devils on everything. It will work.
