We need, at the very least, more Cheap Trick. The lack of "I Want You To Want Me" is almost criminal.

Also, "Born to Run". I know I've said this before. I've also said it would come close to being a great album release (it has songs that don't work though so maybe a "best of" style bundle would make more sense than a straight full album release), but the title track is just so amazingly produced and has that sort of massive arena rock star feeling that this game really feeds off of.

It's not my favorite genre of music by a long shot, but classic arena rock is one of the things that these games do best.

Oh and more Foreigner. I definitely thought "If that doesn't have 'Jukebox Hero' something is terribly wrong" when information on Guitar Hero was first being revealed and I'm perhaps one of the few people on here who loves the song in RB, but it fits the bill perfectly. How can you resist "I Wanna Know What Love Is?" (answer: very easily. None of that shit here ever).

Meat Loaf as well. A three-song pack would probably be all we'll ever need or just "Bat Out of Hell" as a single for that matter.

Not having a torrential flood of Cream is a clearly a crime against nature. Maybe it's lack of masters because "Crossroads" and "Sunshine of Your Love" were both in various Guitar Hero iterations. I'd rather have Cream than solo Clapton, not only is it objectively better, but it's better suited to the game.

Beg list summary:
Cheap Trick to include "I Want You to Want Me"
Bruce Springsteen to include "Born to Run"
Foreigner as long as shitty ballads are completely absent
Meat Loaf to include and possible be entirely comprised of "Bat Out of Hell"
Cream because Cream are fucking awesome and Clapton practically defined the concept of a guitar hero

YES. More Cheap Trick please. Anything off of the first album (preferably He's A Whore) or In Color. I was also thinking last night how great Crossroads would be in RB. Also, there is nothing objective about saying Cream is better than solo Clapton. That's the completely subjective truth.

I agree with all of this. Hopefully we'll get either Texas Flood or Nothing's Shocking tonight.

after listening to the entirety of Are You Experienced, I've realized How much we need a jimi hendrix track in RB2. Is Hendrix 100% locked to GHWT?

No.

 

[Oreoleo]

Best of No Doubt = 12 songs

Is this confirmed to be 12 songs or are we just assuming so based on the Who pack? I'd love it to be true but I find it hard to believe they'd release that many No Doubt songs without just doing, say, Tragic Kingdom + Hella Good pack, which is more or less what it's going to end up being anyway, but you know what I mean. This is easily my most anticipated DLC (Helllloooooooo drumming) so any more solid info is always awesome.

No. This isn't one of those cases where someone uses "literally" when they mean "figuratively". I know the proper meaning of words. It can be mathematically proven that Cream is better than Clapton's solo work.

Oh and also in the wish list would be at least one left-field, but totally awesome pack that makes us all realize how very wrong and insignificant we were before. Something like the Grateful Dead pack or how, for some people, the Jimmy Buffet pack revealed the deeper inner beauty in songs that are mainly associated with being drunkenly slurred out by frat boys while their friends chant along obnoxiously and interject unwanted lines not actually in the song.

Sorry, that just sent me to a very bad place. It's hard to realize that although it's not that great, I don't hate the song so much as I hate the song as it currently exists in our culture and the sorts of people who really like the song. I'd rather be raped by the Queen Mum than put up with that sort of thing.

These words... I do not think they mean what you think they mean.

REQUEST FRIDAY

All of it. NOW!

Only one song from them just isn't enough!

 

[BigBlackGamer]

it feels like hayley friday for some reason. I can smell the orange hair dye.

edit: is it that much to ask for 1 fucking coldplay song.....I mean seriously. just throw that shit in a pack or something. I have yet to actually get anything I want musically from RB. coldplay is the lesser of the 2 evils (paramore)

or how about someone at HMX customize a coldplay song just for me. I will pay 40$ or ill buy RB AC/DC as payment. your choice.

 

[Archie]

plz

 

[Ristlager]

Friday is beg day right?

We need some The Shock of the Lightning. Oasis are so rad

THIS!

And The Music. Take the long road and walk it would have been fantastic. And almost every song on their new album (get FIRE ffs), and their other albums.

 

[BigBlackGamer]

I bet the No Doubt pack is next. it says on the rock band 2 title screen that Gwen Stefani turns 39 today. HIDDEN MESSAGE!

 

[Kafel]

No Doubt mega-pack or Foo Fighters album please.


And start to offer the EA tracks damnit !

 

[BigBlackGamer]

have they announced the songs in the No Doubt pack?

 

[McBradders]

Four hours and no posts?!? Is something going on that I'm not aware of? Is Haley giving out drive-through blowjobs on the street? Is Europe lost in Time and Space?

Europe was asleep man.

Fear not, we are awake, and I am personally plotting your downfall once again!

 

[Affeinvasion]

Fuck Cream (not really...I'm just being contrary)

THIS:

 

[TheGreatDave]

The Vice Presidential Debate and some actual Nintendo news is just too much to resist.

I just got another drum pedal from EA. Yay! I ordered twice on their support site when I didn't get a confirmation email. They seem to be rather...relaxed with how they're dealing with this.

 

[Des0lar]

Yeah, that solo is insane. Gave me a lot of grief. :lol

It was awesome when I finally got through it though.

I think the whole album is great to play on nearly all instruments.

 

[PacoDG]

gimmie these full albums harmonix!

 

[birdman]

I'd love me some Dream Police personally.

A thousand times yes on Cream!

 

[TheGreatDave]

Whoo, Friday! Come on guys, keep picking better music than we'll actually get!

 

[birdman]

Colour and the Shape bitches!

 

[PacoDG]

And start to offer the EA tracks damnit !

At this time, is there still no confirmation on ANY bands in this?

Someone made a comment in another thread about being scared that it will be all Freezepop/Sprode/whatever as the free tracks.

Now im scared

 

[TheGreatDave]

Colour and the Shape bitches!

I'm hoping for no albums. To be honest I don't think I'll buy any of the ones they've announced.

 

[Ten-Song]

I recommend this because I know "recommending" it is the best I'll ever get, and I'll never see a single track for it in the game...

 

[Struct09]

I doubt we're getting an album next week. We've gotten a few albums lately, and the week after is Dr. Feelgood.

 

[TheGreatDave]

ROLLING THUNDER?

 

[Magik]

It'll probably be another album with hopefully a few singles thrown in with it.

Oh yeah, BBG, what the hell is your new gamertag?

 

[XShagrath]

Album a week every week! Plus singles or other packs thrown in.

 

[borghe]

I'd love me some Dream Police personally.

one of the things that made GH80's actually enjoyable to play. Actually fuck that. GH80's, aside from being majorly overpriced, was a great fucking setlist. just "borrow" all of the charted songs from there HMX!!!

 

[DuckRacer]

I bet we're getting Brooks and Dunn next week. They have two Rock Band-sponsored shows left, and they're both this weekend.

 

[Hop]

At this time, is there still no confirmation on ANY bands in this?

Now im scared

He's talking about Madden, you're talking about 20 freebies. I think the Madden stuff's all but busted, except by chance.

On the topic of the 20, I'm not scared it's Freezepop/Honest Bob/etc. I'm hoping it is. I like that stuff, and if I'm wrong, that means it's bigger names so I'm probably ok with that too (unless it's big-name crap). It's win-win for me.

 

[Shig]

Steppenwolf's Magic Carpet Ride would be really awesome.

 

[Bahzing]

So... if not an album, I guess it's time for the Offspring pack.

 

[JonathanEx]

Friday is beg day right?

Nah, it's getting radio play in the UK, so we can't have that.

 

[Schattenjäger]

an offspring or alice in chains pack would be awesome.

 

[joaomgcd]

Why can't they release some Pearl Jam stuff once and for all? Is it that hard?

 

[PacoDG]

an offspring or alice in chains pack would be awesome.

so so (so) awesome.

 

[Tek]

Poison - Nuthin But a Good Time

Although I would hate it real quick when friends would start wanting to play it constantly...

 

[ScrabbleBanshee]

So I've exported my RB disc, and sold off my whole RB kit for $200 (really...), and I'm prepared to buy a new bundle. At the moment I'm leaning towards the GH4 band kit + RB2 disc-only but I can't find any good information about how much better or worse the new instruments are compared to eachother.

Is there a good preview comparison floating around yet?

 

[Hop]

an offspring or alice in chains pack would be awesome.

There's murmurs on Scorehero that an Offspring 3-pack ad popped up. Self Esteem, Pretty Fly, Gone Away.

 

[bounchfx]

gimmie these full albums harmonix!

You are truly a beautiful person

<3

Yes, the Offspring pack ad popped up on the dashboard about two months ago and it was not released then.

Well, I'll buy it. What were the other tracks the Offspring website said was coming?

I remember that there was this awesome song that goes by the name of ALL I WANT!

 

[JonathanEx]

Let's have some more Weezer. This isn't prompted by Buddy Holly being played on Radio 1. Nope. Not at all. And my desire to sing Pork and Beans.

[derder]

So... when do we found out what the new pack is, and where?

I've just used wikipedia while after class on fridays, but got out early.

 

[duderon]

I requested Tool's discography and TMV's The Bedlam in Goliath with my 20 free song code submission. Make it happen HAMDIX!!
