Because I am still learning and have no desire to challenge myself that much. Also because I dislike the song. In RB, however? It's ok, but not the best bass solo. Once again I must demand "(Anesthesia) Pulling Teeth". That would show that they actually regard the bass as an instrument. Actually, as I've said before elsewhere that's the trick for what GH:WT has been doing with their idiotic battles. Give us a final song that is a dedicated, challenging solo (or close to it) for each instrument: "Eruption", "(Anesthesia) Pulling Teeth", erm... something for the drums and vocals.
Oh and for the Rancid fans out there I actually live less than a block away from the Daly City train (it's a BART station and thus local commuter rail/subway). The bathrooms have been closed for a while due to "security". It is not, actually, in a terrible neighborhood, just a poor, dull, residential one. Perhaps things have changed since '95 though.

...And Out Come the Wolves would be so awesome. Even if they just released "Time Bomb" I would be so happy. What an awesome song.

I actually used to drive a Cadillac, albeit a grey one, not black, never owned white shoes, and preferred a grey hat to a black one, but otherwise, well.... Closest you'll ever get to me being a scenester.
Ultimately my problem with Rancid and their popularity is that it might be fun and light and catchy, but that doesn't make it good. That makes it pop fluff that's fun to hear on the radio every once in a while. I want a little something more, it's hard to explain at times and remain internally consistent. Ultimately I wouldn't mind seeing a DLC pack or some on-disc time especially when compared to some really terrible bands that could end up getting in there.
Oddly, "Time Bomb" was on the radio yesterday when I woke up. For some reason I often hear Rancid on the radio when I wake up.

Less than 12 hours till I download a fuckton of DLC!!!
Listening to Texas Flood...this is going to kill me on drums. If it's not a swing rhythym, it's a complex kick-snare pattern. And every one sounds so repetitive and relentless. Will be great on guitar and vocals, though....
Still, going to love playing it...
Oh, and Testify (SRV, not RATM) is going to be brutal.

I'm picking up everything. Looking forward to Rush and Bad Religion the most. I'm also thinking of waking up extra early before work to play through it all. Can't wait.Sandman42 said:

My DLC strike is off for Moving Pictures and Bandages.

it's not even my Xbox. it's ONLY in RB2. it will freeze for like 3 seconds and continue. sometimes it will happen maybe 2 times a play session and other times it won't happen at all.
edit: ^^^ hey, don't knock country. If we got Johnny Cash that'd be great, Brooks and Dunn will be fun, etc. As long as it's not Big & Rich or Trace Adkins or the latest shitty top 40 single, I'd be totally fine with it.
I don't know what I'm getting. I was going to get all of Moving Pictures and all the singles except Sleater Kinney and Hot Hot Heat, but I've spent $67 on DLC for this game and spending 1520 points (over a quarter of the points I've spent on Rock Band in the last year) at one time doesn't sit right for me. I'd cut down some of the Rush songs and Shoot the Runner, but still.
What's even worse is that I just know Live at Donington is going to be 2400pts/$30, and I'm going to buy it all because it's AC/DC. RB is fucking expensive.

The only thing worse than country is punk.
Johnny Cash is not always, strictly speaking, country. I think he transcends genre into the place where he is more badass than you will ever be or could hope to be. If such DLC becomes available (and it ought to) he will simply have to look at you and you will know deep in your soul that you are a weak failure of a person without it. His weary contempt for you and all that you stand for will be enough to compel you or you will continue to be exposed as the sham that you are.
I will not rise to your baiting.
I will, however, acknowledge that punk is like metal in that there is some very, very good work out there, but it is the sort of genre that more than others seems to inspire terrible people to produce amazingly awful music.
If 90% of everything is shit then punk and metal run even closer to 95%.

LOL @ Fall Out Boy.
That said, I would eat my balls if we don't get great weeks from now until at least late November. They are going to need to combat the hype of the new Guitar Hero.
Given some of the wretched weeks we've had lately, they've been sandbagging furiously for this.

I keep forgetting to post this, but this has happened to me 3 times. Every time it's been with songs stored on the hard drive, so I wonder if it has something to do with drive fragmentation.
It screwed me, I almost had a perfect run on Expert with Celebrity Skin, and BAM.
Wow, I am VERY interested in hearing your response/experiences in playing this. Seriously, if you wouldn't mind keeping a bit of a semi-journal, or just jotting down some thoughts, I'll reward you with thanks. Real, unadulterated thanks.Kryptonic said:
on another note: Every time I play Shackler's Revenge, I'm liking it more. Not going to say it'll end up matching the best of Appetite, but there is a lot of good stuff there. Hopefully we see more of the new GnR tracks (I've given up on the old GnR tracks every appearing).

Damn you America! How the fuck am I supposed to make and consume a simple bacon sandwich without gorram HP sauce!?!? You can cram it up your arse so far that it reaches the limits of the expanding galaxy, loops back, and you end up cramming it into your arse again in an infinite fucking loop!

The one thing I missed when in the states: proper bacon. What's this streaky stuff all about?
Belgand said:
There's HP sauce all over the place. You just have to know where to look. Most groceries have "international" sections, look there. That's where my wife buys hers (she's second generation English, grew up with the shit. I think it's gross.)
You MAY have to live in a neighboring state to Canada, however. Not sure how far south the distribution goes.

Everytime I play Burnout Paradise, and hear Paradise City playing I look over at my drums and head a tear...

On BGB Bacon used a line from Paradise City in the review link image for that game... song was in my heads for weeks.Keyser Soze said:
I solved that by listening to Bill Bailey's version.

Sauce ruins a sandwich. I want to taste bacon, not HP Meat.

No, I can think of a few places off the top of my head that would carry it, but none of them are close by (i.e. within walking distance). A little shop nearby that I believe was primarily Irish might have carried it, but they closed a few months back without my ever having gone in... and again I would have needed to walk a few blocks and then take the train up there.
As for international this is San Francisco. Here, like many places actually, that means lots of Asian and Mexican products if they don't already have their own aisles. Actually, the closest market to where I live is Asian so finding simple Western foods is actually the hardest thing. The only cheese you can get there is some terrible mass-market packaged crap hidden away down a small aisle. Most Western goods you end up paying the sorts of prices you'd associate with a convenience store despite it being a large supermarket. Still, they do offer tanks of fresh fish and when I need Asian ingredients I never have any trouble finding them.
Hmm... that has me wondering if I could risk heresy by trying out Bulldog tonkatsu sauce instead. It might be close enough to work.
I know I can get it from the Internet, I just don't care that much about it right now. I do, however, have some bacon in the fridge (even if it is our apparently inferior "streaky" American bacon) and was a mite hungry.
Also, though it may be breaking with tradition, anyone who puts butter on a sandwich is some sort of sick deviant. I'm all for butter, but sandwiches certainly don't need it. Then again, I rarely choose to put butter on just about anything these days.
