In case you're also unfamiliar with the band, you don't have to judge from Thorpe's vitriol or this brief IGN clip. We're delighted to bring you the full song played the way God intended: Over clips of Dragon Ball Z.

OMFG, I could not agree with u more. I have nightmares about their one music video with the freaking unicorn (and the dude with the high pitched voice and bad hair)- yes, nightmare and unicorn are in the same sentence b/c of these tools. PAH!

Nowadays they're pretty bad, but their first 2 albums weren't completely horrible.

Jesus, they're working to get shit like this on Rock Band, while ignoring music gods like Iron Maiden, Rush, Dream Theater, etc.

I believe Maiden didn't want their music in the game, and that Harmonix have been trying since GH1 to get their music in there.

I love Coheed & Cambria, they put on a great live show. But I'm not buying this game, so I will just have to go to their shows and listen to their albums.

Hmm, maybe if people actually looked into them instead of jumping to conclusions based on one song (especially if you heard it while watching the video or over anime clips) they might have a higher opinion of them. Too bad Coheed only recieved semi-mainstream attention because of their latest album, which most fans think is their worst. Before you flame a band because you heard one song you didn't like, maybe you should listen to more stuff. Think before you post... Coheed is an awesome band.

if you removed anything remotely good or entertaining from the music of Queensryche and Styx (there's not much) and combined what was left over with the rejected nonsense lyrics of Neil Peart you just might get something that's almost as bad as C&C... almost

Feel free to not like coheed, but at least have some ideal of what talent is.. Can you play the solos.. Can you even play the rhythm part at that.. And the singer has quite a range which is difficult in its self.. Before you bash anything ask your self if you even compare. K?

Maybe I wasn't clear on how I stated it the first time, sure you can judge and judge freely but is it really required to bash some one when you have no real point of view on their situation.
Sure a 4 year old can say a person is a bad driver, but until they get into that driver seat and see how difficult it is for them selves they should have no reason to point out others flaws.

Can you write, direct, or produce movies? Can you work a camera keeping in mind details like exposure, shutter speed, aperture, and composition?
If not, you have no right to criticize the works of Uwe Boll.

Coheed is an AMAZING band. Saying that they suck is just plain ignorant. Their music might not appeal to everyone, but there is no denying that they are all incredibly talented musicians. I personally love just about everything they've done.

wow, you guys are tools. i'm pretty sure that if the talking head was quoted saying "coheed represents everything that is great about the underground, post emo, progressive rock movement", that all of you would be singing their praises right now.

After reading the comments in this thread, is anyone else having flashbacks to when My Chemical Romance was announced in GH2?
For those who don't, there was a huge rush to judgement pre-launch, and most of it turned out to be uninformed and unfounded.
Speaking of uninformed, Iron Maiden has songs in GH2, GH2:80s, and are confirmed for GH3... not sure where you "remember hearing" your comment.

Ouch, not much love in this thread, is there?
Personally, I'm excited to play it, but not excited to hear people try to imitate Claudio Sanchez's voice. Same goes for people trying to do Geddy Lee on Tom Sawyer (that's on there, right?).
For those that don't like Coheed and Cambria (nearly everyone who has commented so far?), follow these three easy steps and you might be able to at least tolerate playing through the song:
1) Ignore their fanbase of mostly musically challenged emos who probably haven't even heard their older, better stuff.
2) Remember that Claudio isn't the first rock singer to have a crazy voice.
3) Keep in mind that their lyrics are part of some (overly complex and completely retarded) story, so the murdered girlfriend is the imaginary girlfriend of an imaginary character, and therefore the song is a little less lyrically emo.
Or, you could just keep hating them, play the song once, and never touch it again. It's not like I care if you like it or not. I'm just trying to help you tolerate it.

So which is worse? Guitar Hero 3's Bret Michaels Band or Rock Band's Coheed & Cambria?
I have to go with C&C.
At least there's now one or more absolutely shit songs on each game's song list. I was starting to think Rock Band was going to be relatively flawless.

Are all you 12-yr olds serious? Coheed are the best band out there right now. I must be too old (26) and out of the loop. These guys are one of the very few bands making anything worth listening to right now. I can't wait for the new album. I wasn't even going to bother with rock band until i read this. It's a sorry state when today's youth hate quality music. may i ask, what do you clowns listen to? I need to know what you all consider "good" if you think Coheed sucks.

Why, good sir, I will answer your questions.
I am sixteen years old. Coheed is normally listened to by 12-year-olds, you fool. I know this from personal experience!
Their new song that keeps getting played on my local alt-rock station? Killed any chance of me ever listening to them anymore! It's so bad I won't even think of the title, which I kinda know!
I do agree with your point about children thinking quality music sucks, but Coheed is one of those bands those kids listen to!
As for my favorite bands, I'll give you a few:
David Bowie, Arcade Fire, TV On The Radio, Muse, LCD Soundsystem, Foo Fighters, Dropkick Murphys, Radiohead, Smashing Pumpkins (old and new), Stone Temple Pilots, White Stripes, The Shins, Peter Bjorn and John, and The Strokes.

You must be waaaaaaaaay out of the loop if you think that:
A) C&C's music is "worth listening to right now"
and
B) they're one of the few bands to do so.
Also, I'm 22. You're not that much older than I am. So, I can hardly be called "today's youth" by you, and I still think C&C play shitty cock rock.

I honestly think that everyone here is batshit insane. Coheed and Cambria is truly one of the more talented bands working today, not only musically, but in other facets as well. It's obvious to me that nobody here has actually even LISTENED to any of their music other than what gets radio play.
