I have to agree. I'm amazed at some of the song choices for this game.

This is the first week that I won't be picking up a single song. I'm sure there are plenty of B-52s, KISS and FNM fans out there, these just aren't for me. *shrug*

Wow The B-52's are awesome, and one of my favorite bands. I think Private Idaho would be way better, but Roam is good too.
Rock Band having more of anything to do with Mike Patton is always a good thing too.

your reply fails.... sorry I had to be the douchbag who overuses such a nonsense internet slang like fail.

Do we know for sure it's not the Patton version, or are you just basing your reply on the YouTube video?

KISS!

Hey Fernando KISS sucks!! They're a bunch of sell outs and worry about making money instead of making decent music. Rage has way more musical talent than KISS does.
TROLL
I laugh at your comment "Only Led Zeppelin... the other ones sucks...
Whats is wrong with the world, really?"
other ones sucks, hahha

OMG YES!!! The B-52's are one of my fav all time bands, they were the second concert I went to when I was a kid. Looks like I'll be 4 bucks poorer tomorrow, how can you not get a KISS song??? You rock harmonix.

A band doesn't suck because you don't like them. All of these bands have been successful because they're talented musicians who have written and played good music.
The only thing that sucks is your inability to see past your own bias.

...despite 'Zepplin, Pearl Jam and Primus; all the rest had better music initially than their recent stuff. Oh, and WTF... they put in 'Roam' for the B-52, but not ROCK LOBSTER? :P Hell, even DONKEY KONGA had that...

FOXHOUND: I actually agree with you to an extent. Most of those bands had their best stuff early on. But their early stuff would be great for Rock Band!
"New Skin" by Incubus
"Beautiful Disaster" by 311
"Animal" by Pearl Jam
"Peaches" by POTUSA
They'd all be fun!

Fucking Fernando, man, seriously.
You always act as if you're and solely you are the last man on Earth that loves rock and roll. Your comments on music always have this "Kids these days..." attitude that just so ridiculous.
I don't know how it is where you're from, (I understand its somewhere between Southern California and Mexico due to your duel citizen status)but I live north of you closer to Los Angeles and trust me, the world hasn't given up on Classic Rock just yet. Every fucktard of a student walks around like they just came through a portal from the 60's and 70's. You should consider moving up here, you may be happier.

You can have an argument about all of those, except Alien Ant Farm, they suck and anyone that thinks differently is wrong.

Once again, Alien Ant Farm does not suck. That's your opinion. Have you even heard their latest album, Up In The Attic? It's a terrific album.

most of the bands would suck for guitar hero or rock band since their music is so simplistic. It's like adding the blink 182 song a few weeks ago, that thing on expert was = to a regular rock band song on medium. Then again most modern day "rock" is like that. Again, not every song that may be fun to listen to is fun to play.

I would argue that a song like Anna Molly by Incubus could be pretty difficult. The picking rhythm in that song is pretty difficult to get down on a real guitar. The drums aren't a cake-walk either. But that's just one song.

@Rai
+1 for the Modest Mouse request. But I doubt it'll happen. And if it DOES god help us because they'll likely put the newer stuff.
On top of that Issac and barely sing his own vocals live. Imagine trying to sing?

I'm not a LZ fan but I know tons of people who are. RP is one of the top R&R vocalists ever (Freddie Murcury is my #1). But really, RP can't even do RP.
The Humane Society would never allow it.

Are B-52s even rock?
Some Offspring would be awesome.
But you know what would be a kickass song? Silverchair's "Tomorrow". I hadn't heard that song in years until recently... and the first thing that popped into my head is "This song is PERFECT for Rock Band!"

You don't live in Pittsburgh, do you? Reason I ask is that they just played Tomorrow for the first time in years on the local rock station the other day.
That put a smile on my face. I'm a big fan of early Silverchair stuff. Tomorrow would work well for Rock Band.
Hell, we need a 90's pack in general. Or several. I can think of a lot of rock songs from the 90's I'd love to see on Rock Band. Ah, memory lane...

Roam? I finally know how to get my dad to play. Fuck yeah.
KISS is a mockery of music, and I don't really know about FNM. I'm hoping for a Muse pack soon. Very soon. PLEASE, HARMONIX?

Pretty stinky this week...I find nothing redeeming about any of those track choices...There are better songs for FNM and KISS and there are better alley cat fights than the B52s.

Sweet, I love the B-52s. Variety is the spice of life; odd selections like Roam are always welcome, and it's nice to get a song with female vocals for a change. That brings the grand total of "chick" songs up to what... 4, 5?
Posted: Feb 4th 2008 2:55PM (Unverified) said
All three songs are awesome. Calling Dr. Love is one of KISS' best and most catchy songs, and the one that got me into them. yay :D

I agree with all of those, except I could live without the RatM and Primus. Although, that doesn't mean that I think they are horribly bands, I'm just not a big fan :)
