    I don't think we'll be seeing any more Pixies, Cars, Jane's Addiction, Judas Priest, Rush, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Foo Fighters, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Motley Crue, AC/DC, Who, Boston, Nirvana, Megadeth, or No Doubt unless it's on-disk for Rock Band 3.

    Also, after listing it all, holy shit there's a lot of albums out for Rock Band.

    I still really do want Where is my Mind though. Playing it is pretty chilly.

    Alive is one of the most fun songs to play on drums. I just needed to say that, really, and this also comes from someone that never really liked Pearl Jam at all.

    It's pretty fun to play on all instruments, really (I haven't played bass, I'm sure it's dull). Guitar has a wicked solo and even though the vocals are easy, I love singing to it since I'm so used to singing along to the song when it comes on the radio in the car.

    I've been thinking about picking up either Rock Band or Guitar Hero. Now I'd only be playing by myself or with people online, so it would strictly be a guitar game for me. I'm kind of leaning toward Rock Band because of the songs, especially now that I know Silversun Pickups or coming to Rock Band.

    I wouldn't count that out at all. They already expressed an interest in doing more Who DLC down the line. And I wouldn't expect RB3 so quickly either.

    I'm not sure why that rules out drums.

    A ton of people find drums to be outrageously fun, so if I were you I'd try them out somewhere before ruling them out.

    Or singing. I'm a pretty terrible singer, but I do it anyway and it's fun.

    My tin foil hat thinks there's more Talking Heads coming, because in a pre-release interview with the guys (and gal) who did all the TV appearances, they were asked what their favorite new song is, and the one guy goes "The Talking Heads". The interviewer goes oh great, which song is on disc? and the HMX guy had no idea. He goes "Um...what did we put there?" and someone else had to say Psycho Killer.

    I just feel like if that was the only song they had, and it was his favorite new song in the game, he'd have remembered it!

    I think you'd be amazed at the number of people who couldn't name a song to save their life but know the name of the band that did it.

    I'm not ruling them out, just from a cost stand point I can only afford one instrument. I'm sure they're a lot of fun but I'd rather have the guitar.

    Actually, this leads me to believe that they have more Talking Heads songs already developed with Note Charts, and he couldn't remember which song was actually put on disc.

    It led me to believe that PR reps said "Hey, you guys mention these bands during the interview so that word gets out that they're on the disc." And that guy got stuck with Talking Heads and happened to not really be that big into them.

    Upper 90s heat + drumming for 2 hours = I feel like I have multiple layers of sweat

    That's my workout for the morning. I did the Disturbed pack on drums and only 3 starred Inside the Fire but 4 starred the others. I feel like a champion.

    Well Alice has been doing a lot of PR stuff and concert hosting in support of Rock Band so who knows.

    Also, there's this new commercial for GH:WT that has Kobe Bryant, Mike Phelps, Alex Rodriguez, and Tony "PR Whore" Hawk.

    ...yeah...

    The biggest "ugh" ever.

    I would make it size 7 font but it's futile because we have no size 100 font.

    Not only is Alice Cooper fucking terrible, but both Billion Dollar Babies and School's Out were terrible notecharts, showing that neither Harmonix or Neversoft can get anything useful out of the band.

    Once again, videos of people just playing Rock Band in a packed room and having the time of their lives is way more effective than "Hey look at these big stars playing our game because we own them!"

    I guess they're taking tips from Konami. The Rock Revolution commercial also features a song that isn't in the actual game.

    Activision makes some pretty terrible (and costly I imagine) ads for Guitar Hero.

    I didn't like Rock Band's commercial, but 2's was great. Don't remember Guitar Hero III's.

    But Guitar Hero II for the 360 had the best commercial.

    I tried looking for the Wolfmother one. I know I saw it. It was just a short blip, probably not even 20 seconds. It displayed the full band notecharts and just played the guitar intro then skipped ahead in the song then it flashed the whole Rock Band logo thing.

    There was the Nintendo Wii version though with "Welcome Home"

    Rock Band Wii

    And then the UK commercial with "Suffragette City" and all awesome:

    I'm sure you want something in Rock Band that I consider fucking terrible, but you don't have to be a little twat about it. Many people would agree that having some more Alice Cooper would be awesome.
    If you don't like it, no one's putting a gun to your head and forcing you to download it.

    The notechart for Billion Dollar Babies wasn't really bad. It's not my favorite song in GH2 by a long shot but it's pretty fun.

    I'll agree on School's Out, though. It was a bad choice for GH3.

    Edit: The best part of that GH4 commercial is Tony Hawk playing drums with a helmet on and that facial expression.

    What I don't get is why they couldn't have done it with regular people.

    Maybe I'm overestimating the intellect of the American consumer, but it doesn't seem like having Tony Hawk and Kobe Bryant in a commercial is going to make you think "Hey, I wanna play that because Tony Hawk does it!"
