Hey.

Hey guys.

Guess what song was announced today. Go on, guess.

Spoiler:

MOTHERFUCKING ROUNDABOUT

For RB3?

I don't know much Yes

But I do like "I've Seen All Good People"

Arikado · June 2010

So we just need The Band so we can have some good ol' Animaniacs antics.

UnbreakableVow · June 2010

We already have a song by The Band

Ballman · June 2010

It's probably been said, but I'm really excited about the prospect of a keyboard controller for Ben Folds songs.

Then again, I haven't really been following the news much so I might be making a lot of shit up. Carry on.

But is it an on disk song?

No...but there's no Who song either, right?

Spoit · June 2010

Any other good videos from e3 other than that 18 minute gamespot one?

Yet. Just give it time UV. You know HMX has a huge hard on for The Who. They only have a bigger hard on for Dave Grohl.

EDIT:

We could get the correct version of Pinball Wizard:

Elton John!

UnbreakableVow · June 2010

Oh man

"A Quick One While He's Away", please

:whistle: Cello cello cello cello cello cello cello cello

Arikado · June 2010

You guys are missing the point.

Once RB3 comes out, we'll need to choreograph this amongst ourselves:

Okay, I may suck at real guitar but this video is making me think about picking up the Squier Pro anyway.

That video just made me go from MAYBE getting the mustang to 100% getting the squire.

guitar

Wow, I havn't really picked up a guitar in about 5 years..... I may be buying this squire to get back into it.

I'd call it "unique" and be done with it.

That ignores the millions of tween girls that have the same taste in music

I'm sure UV isn't the only male with such tastes.

HOLY FUCK

BEEN WAITING FOR THIS FOR YEARS

FyreWulff · June 2010

Wow, yet another song that I know and love but never actually learned the name of.

fuck yesss

TubularLuggage · June 2010

Seeing Yes in Rock Band is very encouraging.

The drum in that piece has two pedals, nice.

They're way too close together, but I'm assuming you can move them around.

Dehumanized · June 2010

The new Devo album is surprisingly pretty good (possibly even great). Would like to see some of it as DLC.

SO FRESH

Yesssssss

Shady3011 · June 2010

No Hannah Montana stuff is serious fail. Miley Cyrus stuff is usually pretty stupid.

FyreWulff · June 2010

MrDelish · June 2010

But it can't have The Gambler! What reason might there be to buy it??

UnbreakableVow · June 2010

AND MY DAY KEEPS GETTING BETTER

UnbreakableVow · June 2010

Also, how was "Roundabout" found out about? (That was fun to type.)

Did they announce more tracks? Just the one?

FyreWulff · June 2010

No tracks from it yet, but some Cash would seal the deal for sure

Smug Duckling · June 2010

I for one am happy about a Miley Cyrus pack. No Party in the USA is a damn shame though.

Also, we still have a serious lack of Avril Lavigne.

The most important thing for those who were wondering:

The guitar is dissassemblable, and the nylon strings can be replaced without replacing the entire guitar, if you somehow rock too hard and break one. Try not to rock too hard.

Dehumanized · June 2010

Predicting a massive market of small-sized nylon strings (I'm assuming the guitar wouldn't fit much more than 15" of a string in there) popping up after the game releases.

FyreWulff · June 2010

it seems RB3 actually knows where certain DLC comes from.

UnbreakableVow · June 2010

That article was a good look at the Mad Catz Pro guitar.

I'm definitely feeling a lot more comfortable now getting that one.

Dehumanized · June 2010

Aww, no way to make wild extrapolations about the RB2 export list from that picture.

They probably just hardcoded in a database of which songs came from which export, then just label each song accordingly when it gets to the music library... I doubt they did things the other obvious way (that is, changing the metadata stored within the exported songs).

Well, for some reason it says Rock Band 1 has 57 songs, when it only exports 55 :?:

Spoit · June 2010

Harmonix probably has all the songs in a big database, including the ones that they weren't allowed to export because of licensing issues

FyreWulff · June 2010

But why only export 57 when there's 58?

Someone at E3 needs to see if one of their demo units has 57 RB1 songs on and then see what extra songs are under it.

Tommatt · June 2010

With Pro Drums, that mysterious port in the back of the drums has to be high hat pedal support right? I would think the best way to represent open hi-hat would be a blue cymbal dot in the yellow lane, as blue's have been open hi-hats in the hat. Wow do I need to find an electronic drum kit.

Cullen · June 2010

So I'm enjoying Green Day, but the fact all the rudey words have been editted out is annoying. I would have thought they would have secured an age rating for the game that would have allowed for them, given the number of songs that have them in. Still it just makes me shout FUCK loudly in right places when I'm doing vocals.

JC of DI · June 2010

It actually took a recent edition of Giant Bomb's podcast to remind me that, oh yeah - this is the same band that made such a huge fuss about not releasing an edited version of 21st Century Breakdown. Guess the thought of not netting that T-Rated money was enough to change their minds, or they just don't have such strong feelings about their artistic vision of the album now.

Either way, I've been playing it some recently thanks to a friend who purchased it. Vocals are my go-to thing, and I've played a little guitar, and watched plenty of the guitar charts thanks to having most of the pre-21st songs memorized. Definitely glad I didn't buy this game full-price if only because guitar is my usual instrument, and holy hell the charts annoy me. My pre-release crowing about how charts seemed too specific for the loose and fast rock of Green Day was incredibly spot-on. I find myself cringing at some of the charts as they're going by. Might still be a bargain bin purchase simply for vocals or bass later, but damn those charts straight up annoy me.

Also kind of enjoy how Song of the Century is totally a back-of-the-box noteworthy song when it's like a minute of just one vocalist and that's it.
