I will use any avatar you pick for the next month if you give me the code. (Within reason. Don't hook me up with an avatar that will get me banned or nerfed)

Fuck all you people who can't bring yourself to listen to popular bands. TK-era No Doubt is incredible stuff, and getting the rest of the album is brilliant.

Different People - Pure ska...something really lacking in RB...and as such, there's an incredible bass-line...seriously, for most of this album, I'd think focus more on bass than on the guitar parts if you're looking for fun
End It on This - I'd be really curious to see if this has the vocal harmonies charted..it'll certainly be a work-out for the drummers
Hey You - Will they chart the sitar? Possibly one of the most entertaining guitar tracks in the set...and one of the best examples of Beatles-esq music we've seen, from the instruments, to the melody, to the bass line, to the chord pattern...the drumming is just better (sorry, Ringo!)
The Climb - bass line will be so awesome to play on this, not to mention the beauty of the drum fills...fuck difficulty, this is one of the best mellow-groove songs out there
Tragic Kingdom - I really hope this opens with the Matterhorn announcement...though I'll have to work on my guitar solo triplets...and I can see the ending fucking people over...not sure what they'll turn into a BRE, as there's no stinger (can they get away with the Star Wars quoting?)
World Go ‘Round - another one begging for harmonies...I can't see this one being boring to play on any instrument, but, again, that bass shines
You Can Do It - harmonies, please? Incredible funk groove...strumming on the guitar will be a bitch, and I assume they'll chart the keyboard solo to the guitar, not sure about the trumpet solo, though

This is seriously one of the best DLC weeks we've had in a long time. It's pure gold on bass, drums, and vocals, and so many of the songs are brilliant party material. The only people who can really be disappointed here are those who cling to their guitar tracks and refuse to play anything else or with anyone else. :D


Oh, and the Orianthi songs sounds like the type of song that the Cool Rock Band on a sit-com would play. There's talent there in the guitar and her voice, but she needs a better song-writer. Unless this is just the single and there's more to be found on the album.

The Picture Me Broken track has promise. Are they any good? There's a lot of stuff here that sounds very contrived...almost like it's rock without the energy. Could just be the recording I'm listening to, which is marked as a demo.

Still, I'll pick up both tracks.

Well i totally support this, YOU SKIPPED "HAPPY NOW?". That song is fantastic, one of my favorites off Tragic, and you skip over it T_T

A good song to listen to, but one of the most straight-forward on the album, and is really rather featureless in regards to how it'll play in RB. Bass is straight 8ths through most of it, guitar will be more of a strum-fest than any of the other tracks, and the drums don't break too many beats. It's certainly another candidate for harmonies, though, and I'm still going to be getting the full set.

Please. We already have enough fucking No Doubt in Rock Band. HMX has other bands in the pipeline that are not represented in the game yet that I would rather see now.
 
tbh, I'm not a fan of playing No Doubt tracks in my RB, so getting another 9 tracks from them is zzzzzzzzzz.

Plus with this "Deep Cuts" stuff you know they'll release the rest of Weezer's Blue Album and some other shitty Foo Fighters album.

Halo Reach is good Dave, it's not the game's fault you only captured one skull in headhunter!

No Doubt was always one of the top most picked with the people I play with, nothing great on guitar but I can deal. I do love Excuse Me Mr. though. I loved playing them on drums, not that it matters now since I don't own a drum set though.

I'm not saying that I wouldn't have liked to see Pantera or Metallica or ZZ Top or Hendrix or any of the other bands they're working on, but No Doubt is what we're getting, and the songs are perfect for RB (it's not like they decided to finish up Saturn).

Do we have 'enough' No Doubt? I'd say no, in the sense that as long as a song is great to play, I'm not going to complain about its inclusion. The same way I don't think that we have enough GnR or enough Hendrix or enough Boston or enough Megadeth or enough Motley Crue, despite having more than a full album of all of those bands.* I might think differently if HMX had only been releasing 3-5 songs a week for the past year, but the release schedule is so heavy that there's plenty of opportunity for pretty much everything.


*except Boston

I didn't even know how to play. I thought you just stood in the circle until you claimed it.

Would I be saying anything unique if I complained about the FOV in Halo?
 
Just played Push Push (lady lightning) on drum and was kinda suprised by thye end solo and the BRE that is charted, nearly failed damn .

Oh btw Bebedora just tried lucretia as well and I'm sure I never played it before on drums, maneged to succeed with about 93% but i'm far for your earlier goldstar loll

fun song tough

I have warmed up to Reach. The gametypes are weird, but mechanically its as solid as Halo games get.

I twice followed you to help see how I'm supposed to play, both times I think I took an explosion and saved your ass :(
