Something for us Euros. The German USK has already rated RB2 on September 4th. Maybe this time we will not have to suffer through such a big dealy?

I hope this is not old.

 

[McBradders]

So did I mention I beat Run to the Hills on hard drums?


Hi!

Not old, but given stuff has been rated for XBLA, PSN and more (from last year) that still hasn't surfaced, I wouldn't hold my breath

McBradders must eat so many lemons, cos he is so bit-AH.

Wanna know when Australia's OFLC rated RB1?

28/11/2007

We still ain't got it.....

 

[Belgand]

Aren't lemons, uhm, sour and not really at all bitter?

Also, Dave (and I guess other PALs out there): what would you give up to have RB2 right now? As in... immediately. Like Father bloody Christmas happened to sneak up past you and leave it behind you while you weren't looking. This is, of course, for a proper Euro version as well and not just some halfway import.

No sex from now until it actually comes out? A toe? Wear some sort of highly unpleasant genital truss every day?

Hey, it has me looking forward to GH:WT so somebody did something right by doing something so wrong.

Its an awful song lyric I hoped a Brit would get.

I believe they would actually qualify as "acidic"

I'm operating on 3 hours sleep... enlighten me.

I don't know if your familiar with the work of kinda-Chavy-Pop-Crap Kate Nash, but her hit single Foundations is filled with lyrics I happen to know perfectly.

 

[Motion Picture Soundtrack]

:lol Brilliant.

 

[AMUSIX]

May I suggest "Nitrous Burn Out" as a new band name? From the song of the same name by Man or Astro-Man?

I also have to say I find it a tad odd that Jerry isn't the bassist. May I assume that naming the drummer Shirley is in reference to the notorious incident with L7's drummer? Or is that just coincidence? I find it odd that generated so much attention, Rockbitch did the same thing albeit repeatedly and going much further (and with more meaning intended).

Hmm, a Man of Astro-Man song name...perhaps...

Jerry not being the bassist sort of came because Stroker Ace (Tom Selleck) looked the part too much. Though I suppose he could be the singer, after all, he talked as much as he drove.
Shirley's the drummer because Muldowney's attitude demanded it. Seemed the most fitting for a 'woman handling the biggest instrument' sort of thing. Though the 'sex slave' thing might have been a good backing reason as well.

Maybellene had to be the guitarist because, well, that song is where Rock Guitar started.

Positively antique.

The original Rock Band was rated a long time before it was released.

 

[neorej]

Quick question for fellow Euro Import PS3-Rock Band owners; what's the best/safest way to get DLC?

 

[McBradders]

I don't know if your familiar with the work of kinda-Chavy-Pop-Crap Kate Nash, but her hit single Foundations is filled with lyrics I happen to know perfectly.

Ugh.

What's with this sudden explosion of distinctly average crappy girly-singer-song-writer shite?

Come back Tori Amos and PJ Harvey, all is forgiven.

 

[Johnkers]

McBradders must eat so many lemons, cos he is so bit-AH.

FUCK YES KATE NASH REFERENCE

Its an awful song lyric I hoped a Brit would get.

YOU'RE AN AWFUL LYRIC

I don't know if your familiar with the work of kinda-Chavy-Pop-Crap Kate Nash, but her hit single Foundations is filled with lyrics I happen to know perfectly.

She's the best person ever and you're wrong.

 

[TheGreatDave]

I'd rather hang out with Johnkers than McBradders, cos he is much fit-AH.

 

[Belgand]

Not quite. They are technically considered to be "screw off"

Obviously. That's why I didn't even think to comment on it.

But not, sadly, happier.

I'm pretty happy!

McBradders has received one point.

Oh shit it's a terrible Radiohead reference. My bad I TAKE IT BACK

 

[TheGreatDave]

This is what happens when the people posting don't have Rock Band 2 to play.

 

[Belgand]

Muahaahahahahaaaa! MWAAHAHAHAHAAA!!

It is also a personal reference to Dave's incorrect opinions on the proper ranking of Radiohead albums.

This is what happens when the people posting don't have Rock Band 2 to play.

Actually, I have plenty more Rock Band to play not to mention tons of other games. I'm actually choosing to do this instead of having fun.

Our saviours Activision bring us World Tour in only but a couple of months. Until then, we wait.

But you can't be a saviour in GH:WT!

 

[McBradders]

So what do we do while we wait?

 

[Johnkers]

Really? Maybe I'm missing another reference but if what you're saying is if a shitty bassist fails, we won't have the opportunity to save them?

So what do we do while we wait?

We could play Moving Pictures... OH WAIT HAHAHAHA.

Laughing at our misery will never get old

 

[Belgand]

Bitching about how lamb is unreasonably expensive in the US and terribly, terribly delicious.

For that same matter, why is duck so expensive? True you have slightly less yield, but are they any harder to raise than chickens? Is it just some crazy demand/supply issue? We need more gorram duck people. Duck is amazing! So is, incidentally, goat. I can get goat down the block, however.

 

[McBradders]

Yeah, it seems to be one flub after another for Harmonix of late.

I'd look forward to The Colour and the Shape but no Everlong... oy.

I think the Duck thing is purely because it tastes that much better than Chicken that the guys at the top of the Duck supply chain just got crazy mad with power and thusly raised prices.

Never tried goat. Never would. They have weird eyes, man, weird eyes!

 

[Belgand]

Nope. You'll just end up proper fucked. Technically I think it does something to make the chart easier or gives you more points or otherwise makes it less likely that you fail immediately, but yeah.

 

[Johnkers]

Colour and the Shape will be amazing. Dave Grohl clearly supports the PAL folk with his spelling of colour.

No Everlong hurts, but it's in world tour at least, plus the whole album is full of amazing to make up for it

I think the Duck thing is purely because it tastes that much better than Chicken that the guys at the top of the Duck supply chain just got crazy mad with power and thusly raised prices.

Never tried goat. Never would. They have weird eyes, man, weird eyes!

God I could go for some Duck right now. So much better indeed

Nope. You'll just end up proper fucked. Technically I think it does something to make the chart easier or gives you more points or otherwise makes it less likely that you fail immediately, but yeah.

Interesting, I can't say I know what I think of that yet. It's not uncommon for one of us to fail when playing, especially when taking the "saviour" opportunity to play above our level

 

[Belgand]

Foo Fighters = FAIL ; Sweet 75 = WIN

Goats are both amazingly adorable and incredibly tasty. Much like ducks. The cutest animals are almost always the most delicious.

Speaking of which, am I alone in very much wanting to eat some human flesh? I mean, y'know, legally and such without harming anyone. Ideally we'd have cloned lumps of regenerating meat. Much like in Rudy Rucker's Ware series. I still say the advertising for human meat there was the best and most obvious concept: As the cells were originally taken from a particular woman (Wendy, whom it was named after) she was featured in the campaign wearing basically nothing with the obvious caption of "Eat Me". Sex sells anything. Even cannibalism.

 

[TheGreatDave]

I can't eat duck. But I think it may be a mental thing more than anything.

In GH, I think everybody shares the same health. So one person being shit will affect your score, but if 3 people are playing well you won't fail. I don't like the savior system, so this has my Stamp Of Approval.

The only problem I have with the saviour system is the lack of Vocal/Drum "overdrive" whenever I please

 

[Belgand]

There need to be Starland Vocal Band temporary tattoos because getting such a tattoo as a Simpsons reference and general ironic statement would be profoundly dumb. But it would still be amusing for about as long as temps manage to last.

This sounds both awesome and lame, yet more awesome than lame. My interest is slowly rising, mostly due to Love Removal Machine being included in the tracklist.

Did anyone buy Death Magnets or whatever Metallica's latest attempt at relevance was called? Was it any good musically? How were the charts? Should I lament its loss to the Rock Brand?

 

[TheGreatDave]

The charts for Death Magnetic made me less bothered about the wait for Rock Band 2, and reminded me why I wuv Neversoft.

I think Pitchfork may have had their least pretentious review yet in covering it. It was actually just a review from start to finish with no name-dropping or hipper-than-thou attitude or anything. Essentially it just said that they've lost it and are now in the throes of a musical mid-life crisis trying to recapture what made them relevant in their youth, but not quite succeeding as that time has clearly passed and the mistakes of the 90s cannot be entirely undone.

That's my rough opinion as well from what I've heard of it so far: an attempt at return to form, but not quite far enough back and far too little too late. Will not buy.

Tis what I feared. I wouldn't buy the CD but I would consider a few tracks for GHIII, alas it's all or nothing

 

[TheGreatDave]

I'm not a big Metallica fan, but I like the album...

Sometimes I worry that you would be willing to buy a cup full of wank if it was released for these games.

You'd probably go to the bother to import it if it was a solid portion of wank from each member of Rush while recording "Spirit of Radio".

Costanza would not need to purchase it as he likely has plenty of cups filled already. :lol

Spoiler

Not to mention bags of sodden, ruined pink cotton candy

Erm. Too fast apparently. I don't think I need it anymore.
