Sonata Arctica, Children of Bodom, Norther, Rhapsody of Fire... I do believe they were waiting for RB3 right? (I know COB ave DLC and believe me when I say I plugged in all my instruments so I could hear that awesome keyboard)

 

[vg260]

Rainbow In The Dark. Sure, the keytarist does nothing for ages, but still.

Yes, please

However, if keytar means no Maiden on-disc, I'm going to be pissed!

Need Rime of the Ancient Mariner.

 

[Ridley327]

So, basically, Warriors of Rock's story is Brutal Legend's, minus the RTS bits.

 

[Costanza]

Looks like the worst game ever.

 

[Grecco]

So, basically, Warriors of Rock's story is Brutal Legend's, minus the RTS bits.

So that means its going to be a good game then.

No keytar = win.

 

[Ridley327]

I can't get over how horrible the character art is; this is an issue that I can't reconcile.

That says so much about Schafer

 

[Ridley327]

There was nothing particularly bad about the story in Brutal Legend, outside of the ill-advised time skip that happens for basically no reason. Characters have always been his focus, though, which do shine in the game.

GH5 looks great if you pick the right characters.

Lars singing.
Skeleton guy on guitar
Judy Nails on drums
Clive Winston on bass.

Most the other characters look awful, but they all look cool.

 

[Captain N]

i was so excited thinking it was going to be a keyboard..much less excited for a keytar.

 

[Hydranockz]

Keytars can be awesome though. I need my keytar defence force avatar pronto!

This thread is officially dead to me. WTF was that shit. People actually clap for that; is he playing to a room full of retards?

 

[Jet Grind Radio!]

The Hippos! The Aquabats! RX Bandits (The good ska years)!

Plz HMX.

I love this line...

But what we strove to do here is hand-pick all the songs.

You mean before they just threw a dart at a fucking board?

 

[Mileena]

RX Bandits (all of Mandala)!

Plz HMX.

fixed

Yeah because I'm sure the writing staff at NS as just as good as Schafer.

I mean come on, they can't even make games, let alone write games.

 

[jkanownik]

I could watch keytar videos all day.

They probably were given a selection of stuff RedOctane licensed, and then picked from that. Maybe this time they've been more hands on with what they're going for.

But I thought RedOctane just made the instruments, and Activision/NeverSoft handled the rest. Guess I was wrong?

 

[birdman]

I have no inherit problems with a keytar, but I'd rather prefer to have just a keyboard. I'm just gonna wait till E3 to see what we are actually getting.

 

[Rewrite]

A keytar? :lol

Wait, this means more Freezepop.

More Freezepop, PLEASE Harmonix.

Either way, I will not buy the new instrument. Guitar/Bass 4 life.

 

[Natakuu]

Man I just listened to Wu Massacre yesterday and it's pretty sweet.

Criminology 2.5 in particular is just awesome. Ghostface + Raekwon together is always genius.

Agreed. It's not the best they could've done but a good effort none the less, quite a few stand out tracks on there in my opinion.

Pftt Rap Band http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NAeMU9V7W9o

Excellent:lol Can't believe I've never seen that video.

 

[TheGreatDave]

RedOctane were always involved in licensing too, I believe. For sure back in the Harmonix days, but I think still until recently. This is just from memory though.

 

[XShagrath]

I heard on the radio yesterday that Wu-Tang's doing a small tour pretty soon, and they'll be performing the entire "Welcome to the 36 Chambers" album, as well as like 3 or 4 other rappers doing full albums as well.

 

[Hydranockz]

This thread is officially dead to me. WTF was that shit. People actually clap for that; is he playing to a room full of retards?

Haha, easy on the ole mule there bud. Try some classically influenced metal for you (even though a lot of it is). Keyboard fans, this is for you.

Warmen for RB3 kthnx.

 

[Mileena]

Although Meth is really solid on it, I can't help but feel it would've been much better if he was replaced by Inspectah Deck.

I was just about to mention this, ran across it on a music site a moment ago. Fuuuu- I wish I could make it. I need to live in a bigger city, fuck. Wu-Tang's doing "Enter the 36 Chambers", Rakim's doing "Paid in Full", KRS-One is doing "Criminal Minded", and Slick Rick is doing "The Great Adventures of Slick Rick". Plus some random other appearances. It's Rock the Bells with stops in NYC, LA, Mountain View, CA., and Columbia, MA.

I like some symphonic black metal (and Opeth has a keyboardist); however, if they pulled out a keytar...

 

[Natakuu]

Yeah I could see that. It could've been worse I suppose considering the album was recorded really fast and rushed out by Def Jam.

 

[Hydranockz]

... they'd sound the same. A keytar is just a midi controller. All it does is allow said keyboardist to actually move on stage. Sure the Roland AX-7 is pretty much the only keytar you see these days (and is now out of production) but what's the problem with that? You think he looks like a douche? Why is that? Guitars are the only thing society deems acceptable to play around your neck? Gimme a break. Each to their own dude.

 

[Chris R]

Horrible DLC for my birthday week Hope the announcement makes me feel better.

 

[Hop]

So Dave, one of your old co-workers wants to join my RBN studio.

Which is kinda WTF, I'm not that notable. Which unfortunately means I also probably can't hire him.

I was the one who recommended you and everything.

Holy shit, Pam off of The Office is in Six Feet Under.

 

[MrOctober]

Who's gonna do ODB's parts? RIP ODB.

As much as I'd love to hire people, I don't have the cash flow or client base to warrant it. I keep trying to get labels involved, but it's pretty tricky.

yeah dude, what do you think they did? have you seen those song lists? hahah.

 

[Mileena]

If they have any respect (which I'm sure they do) they'll just let it play his parts through the record.

 

[TheGreatDave]

Six Feet Under is so fucking depressing.

 

[MrOctober]

I demand a Boston date on Rock the Bells as well. I kind of hope they just skip ODB's parts as no one can replace him.

 

[MrOctober]

Good point I hope they do that. He was the fucking man.

I saw your edit.

Not posting forever.

Pay some respect to Six Feet Under stop reading while watching!
