I recognize that there's not a ton of discussion on these Blitz singles weeks, but I still wanted to have the thread 1) for non Blitz owners 2) for Wii users 3) for Pro discussion 4) for RBN discussion and 5) because I crave consistency.

Discuss!

I think the date is off on the announcement...

EDIT: And some PS3'ers will be very happy to see "Man in Motion" make it to PS3 RBN...

All other 3 songs are incredibly more deserving of the upgrade than The Wicker Man. Whatevs, looking forward to next week!

Finally, "St. Elmo's Fire" for the PS3!

Now, to just get "Naughty Naughty" as well.

[grumblevolcano]

Not bad, got 3 right and can't wait to play The Wicker Man on pro guitar/bass.

[Meat-Popsicle]

Thrilled to get "Mannequin"! Will be buying "St. Elmo's Fire" as well. Desperately hoping that the PS3 eventually gets "Ordinary Objects" from Dance for the Dying, at some point (it's not eligible for a port yet).

And I will once again recommend that everyone go ahead and buy Blitz, if their system offers it, because, c'mon.

For Once Bitten, sure, but So Far Away was overly boring on legacy guitar, so I imagine it's even worse on real guitar. And Death on Two Legs is too empty.

Anyway, grabbing St. Elmo's Fire and Gemini.

So Far Away, more deserving than Wicker Man? Pfft.

Had I not bought Blitz, I would have gotten just the Iron Maiden song.

Once Bitten Twice Shy is my 2nd most wanted Blitz upgrade and Death on Two Legs is 3rd. And Death On Two Legs isn't really empty, and it doesn't bother me much considering that the actual guitar part is incredibly awesome that I really want to learn and play. So Far Away's riff grew on me and it's mellow and engaging.

The Wicker Man's riff and solo are nice, but I have no desire to actually learn to play it. It just does nothing for me, sorry.
