"Hands Down"?! There is a Jeebus!!

Chad Vanderbilt (Moptimus in Disguise) @ Jun 22nd 2009 11:14PM

"Dreamin'" -- Weezer
"The Greatest Man That Ever Lived" -- Weezer
"Troublemaker" -- Weezer

When do they release the Weezer songs people actually want?

Shadow El @ Jun 22nd 2009 11:19PM

Greatest Man and Troublemaker are both GREAT songs. Them and Everybody Get Dangerous are the only really good songs off The Red Album.

Weezer in music games needs more Perfect Situation, We Are All on Drugs, Hash Pipe (the original, not the edited version), and anything off Blue.

For the record, I love Pinkerton, but I don't think I'd enjoy playing any of those songs in a rhythm game. >_>

I WANT THE SWEATER SONG!!!!

But seriously, "The Greatest Man That Ever Lived" is an awesome song.

And really do want the "Sweater Song".

Matt B @ Jun 23rd 2009 11:23AM

Are you kidding me? The Greatest Man That Ever Lived is an awesome song! Troublemaker is good to, and Dreamin' isn't too bad. I wish they would just do all the songs off that album- its as good as the Blue and Green albums.

Petebot330 @ Jun 23rd 2009 11:28AM

I'm pretty sure that sometime between pinkerton and the green album, rivers was abducted by aliens and they have been slowly taking over his mind.

Alex McKee @ Jun 22nd 2009 11:38PM

Burn makes me happy.

eng050599 @ Jun 23rd 2009 12:17AM

And if you play drums, it makes your forearms tired. Still not as much fun as Perfect Drug though.

Alex McKee @ Jun 23rd 2009 12:34AM

I do play drums, both in Rock Band and in real life, and I can tell you, that song is beastly. Played it on my friends 360 (on Expert of course) and got raped. Skills are definitely lacking compared to Chris Vrenna and Trent Reznor.

NIN For The Win.

Stephen @ Jun 22nd 2009 11:53PM

Staind without the E!

Jerk Face @ Jun 23rd 2009 12:30AM

All those Dead Kennedys jams are totally great.

Jack Hollow @ Jun 23rd 2009 1:54AM

Oh Mr. Reznor, how I will miss your musical genius when your current tour is over. But I guess all good things must come to an end eventually.

TheKarmaPolice @ Jun 23rd 2009 11:27AM

He's only quitting the Touring, he's still going to make music as NIN

Mike @ Jun 23rd 2009 2:40AM

Well i'm a little drunk, but I'm pretty sure all those Weezer songs I downloaded a long time ago, and they are a blast... Am I delusional?

youhavemail @ Jun 23rd 2009 3:33AM

Last is on the list you say?

Buying it.

I haven't bought anything for Rockband in about a year.

TheKarmaPolice @ Jun 23rd 2009 11:22AM

I saw the huge NIN logo and Rock band and got excited! Finally some new NIN songs for Rock Band!

then I saw Wiikly

CURSE YOU, JOYSTIQ!

Beeswax @ Jun 23rd 2009 11:07PM

Exactly my reaction. I was actually about to yell to a friend "There're new NIN songs for Rock Band!!!" Then looked at the songs. Then looked at the headline. Then went like this -> D:

Core2 @ Jun 23rd 2009 12:28PM

Dreamin', Greatest Man, Automatic, and Angel and the One are the only solid tracks on Red. Hey, Rock Band, howabout getting Weezer's Pinkerton? It's pure win.
