Support NeoGAF

[BenjaminBirdie]

Wooo.

My repaired 360 is sitting in front of my apartment. Rock Band 2 is sitting in my bag.

What can I expect in three hours?

 

[M3wThr33]

Maybe if we bitch we can get more RHCP?

The reason Soul to Squeeze is a B-Side is because it was on the Coneheads soundtrack. I guess it'll pop up in the weeks to come. Maybe the 20 song pack?

One of the NIN songs was from a movie soundtrack.

 

[Ten-Song]

Wooo.

A slightly updated version of a game we all own already, and you'll still love every second of it

One of the NIN songs was from a movie soundtrack.

A couple of them were actually.

 

[AMUSIX]

5 best songs and 5 best for Rock Band will be two different lists...

Personally, if I were only to get 5, it'd be:
Under the Bridge (for popularity/familiarity)
The Greeting Song (for challenge, most likely)
Breaking the Girl (for vocals, great bass line, but mostly strumming guitar...a nice change of pace)
Mellowship Slinky in B Major (without a doubt, one of the most interesting progressions on the album)
Suck My Kiss (one of the most straight-forward tracks on the album, nice parallel guitar and bass lines)

alternate:
I Could Have Lied (slow, mellow, some awesome melodic solo work, same with the vocal lines)

Sir Psycho Sexy is a cool track, but it's 8 minutes of a very slow repetitive jam. Awesome for musicians, potentially mind-numbing for gamers.

I added the youtube links for convenience....also, for the record, I'll be getting the whole album, not just these tracks.

edit...huh, thought I hit edit originally...still, I should thank the nutcase that put up RHCP's entire discography on youtube with the lyrics....

Even "Kids in America" on the RB2 disc is from the Clueless soundtrack.

Which doesn't have any album art in quick play by the way. And I remember seeing it in previews too. Strange.

Probably some random legal issue.

New band photo loading screens??

 

[birdman]

A couple of them were actually.

Yeah, one was from Lost Highway(Perfect Drug) and another was from Natural Born Killers(can't remember the name).

 

[sublime085]

New band photo loading screens??

Oh yes.

 

[Ten-Song]

New band photo loading screens??

Yeah, but the only one I found really amusing so far is photos of all your band members pinned up in a high-school girl's locker.

 

[Cronen]

Wooo.

My repaired 360 is sitting in front of my apartment. Rock Band 2 is sitting in my bag.

What can I expect in three hours?

A stolen 360?

Sitting in front of your apartment? Like literally outside? >_>

I think for this DLC i'll grab Under The Bridge and Suck My Kiss definately. May give the others a go too.

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

Yeah, but the only one I found really amusing so far is photos of all your band members pinned up in a high-school girl's locker.

AWWWW SPOILERS THAT'S AMAZING.

 

[sublime085]

Yeah, but the only one I found really amusing so far is photos of all your band members pinned up in a high-school girl's locker.

Yeah I like that one,

Spoiler

the lunch box, and the one with a random band member in the back of a police squad car.

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

A stolen 360?

Obviously not. What kind of apartment has an outside front door?

 

[TheGreatDave]

Sometimes I worry there is a loading time for those stupid scenes.

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

OK OK STOP I'M SORRY I ASKED HOLY COW THOSE SOUND SO GREAT

 

[birdman]

Sometimes I worry there is a loading time for those stupid scenes.

It's funny when one of your band member's faces don't load properly and you think they're wearing black face paint.

 

[anachronous_one]

They're Red Hot. Greatest song under 1 minute ever.

Also, BSSM is a bassist's wet dream.

This. Is your bassist bored? Not likely anymore!

 

[TheGreatDave]

It's funny when one of your band member's faces don't load properly and you think they're wearing black face paint.

Never had that. Must be The Cell.

 

[Ten-Song]

I still prefer them as opposed to staring at a blank screen saying "turn it up!" for a long time.

 

[birdman]

Never had that. Must be The Cell.

Too powerful for Rock Band, 499 US dollars, etc.

 

[XShagrath]

Obviously not. What kind of apartment has an outside front door?

Mine does.

If no one's around when a package arrives, they leave it in the leasing office.

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

Well, I don't know what THAT is, but yeah, it's in no danger from anything but my cat.

 

[TheGreatDave]

Only 499? Tard pack.

 

[Gemini Z]

So that 3 albums in a row, huh. I hope next week is not a 3 pack. :lol Getting spoiled.

 

[vatstep]

Yeah, but the only one I found really amusing so far is photos of all your band members pinned up in a high-school girl's locker.

For me, the coolest one by far is the shot of your band on a green line trolley (one of the trains here in Boston).

Anyway, not interested in next week's DLC at all. RHCP are pretty much the most annoying band on the planet to me. To be fair, though, their old stuff is a lot more tolerable, at least.

 

[SuperBonk]

I never realized how much better I am with hyperspeed.

I've managed to 5 star the Metallica DLC pack, Master Exploder, and Timmy & the Lords of the Underworld on guitar. I could barely 4 star these before (with the exception of And Justice For All which was an easy 5 star).

I gold starred Ace of Spades and Let There Be Rock and a bunch of other songs I don't remember.

 

[bounchfx]

...

 

[JonathanEx]

Speaking of being better, I know I do better when I don't move to the solo buttons, but I do anyway. Is there something wrong with me?

You're using the Strat when the game supports a Les Paul. So yes.

 

[No6]

You're using the Strat when the game supports a Les Paul. So yes.

Why would he use the easily-broken Les Paul when he can use a superior Xploder?

 

[JonathanEx]

Because my Dad likes to do very big strums. The Xplorer doesn't tend to like that as much.

Besides, the strap coming off midsong on my Strat is preferable to the neck of a Les Paul coming off.




...and it's a Fender Strat.



p.s. pork and beans please

 

[TheGreatDave]

Why would he use the easily-broken Les Paul when he can use a superior Xploder?

Because that controller has a shitty strum bar and frets, and the whammy will always break. Les Pauls may be a little... problematic for some people, but it's nothing paper down the neck won't solve most the time, at least for me.

 

[thecheese]

Son of a bitch! There aren't any blockbusters around me that still rent Rock Band 1. I want those damn dongs, damnit!

 

[JonathanEx]

What is it with this thread and Daves?

 

[Stabby McSter]

What is it with this thread and Daves?

it's more like one dave, with the occasional random one popping up

 

[TheGreatDave]

I'm thinking of changing my name to a simple acronym. It adds class. Or maybe just going with DavidEx.

I'm always the random one popping up, I don't think there are others.

If you do that we'll always be haunted by the FedEx arrow.

 

[Ten-Song]

Mmmmmm.... new Rock Band 2 strat so much better to use than Les Paul... feels so good on my fingers.

nah dave_is_ok comes in here too

yoooo hooooooo

even worse than the FedEx arrow is someone pointing out the FedEx arrow.

 

[DuckRacer]

Amusix, thanks for compiling the youtube links.


Also, the reason the Xplorer is shitty is because the fret buttons and neck feel terrible to press and hold. And the strum bar is crap for alt-strumming. It's excellent for down-strumming, but that's it.

 

[TheGreatDave]

Dave Is OK is my biggest fan.

 

[thecheese]

Looks like we're talking over. If you can't beat us, join us.

Down strummer and proud, yo.

I also only use the two same fingers on the frets, and a third only when I have to for 3 note chords.

 

[Eggo]

Man, just got my space bucks from the Amazon sale and went crazy. Downloaded 28 songs for Rock Band just now. Can't wait to do a mystery setlist and be surprised.
