They are a death metal band just like The Eagles are a rock band.

Hence, they are The Eagles of Death Metal.

I want some more Eagles DLC... maybe Already Gone, Those Shoes, Take It Easy, Witchy Woman, Good Day In Hell, The Long Run...

I assumed Eagles of Death Metal were a thrasher hard rock band, but since you said that, I listened to the vids and dig them.. I'll probably pick up the track pack now.

If I were you , I would just wait til GH5. You could download this pack in it, and there is a Eagles of Death Metal song in the game, so you would have 4 songs. Also, GH5 will have a better vocal engine (Hopefully the one in Smash Hits), and is more Rock Band-like with its band play, so it should be better overall. Also, you don't have to suffer through GH:WT. (Which has, half good, half filler, maybe? I never play it anymore.)

ah sweet, i was thinking about doing just that. also because it'll have vampire weekend and megadeth AND children of bodom. im just waiting to see how the menus and the presentation looks, if it looks anything like 2 or 3, then sure i'll pick it up. world tour looks like TRASH, i'm very glad i purchased rock band 2 instead.

I have seen the play song menu and multiplayer game rules menu in a few videos.

http://img259.imageshack.us/img259/9158/gh5modes.png

They are blurry, but it already looks a hell of alot better than WT's Song selection menu. Those green bars seem to be difficulty meters (like RB2), but at the same time, it looks the the white area might also show a list of high scores per instrument/difficulty, or even percentages, which is a nice feature. Rock Band 2's menu only fails because of how it shows scores and it doesn't show stars. (Guitar and Bass in single player are all clumped together, and there is no "difficulty" known on where you got the score, or in band play, what instruments were used to get it. Also, I'd like to know if I Gold/5 stared a song, I loved beating RB1's single player career and then striving to Gold Star the game. I played Run to the Hills and Green Grass and High Tides so many times!)

All in all. It looks alot better than World Tour. Now lets just hope they let you use the console's text imput like RB. Everything in my WT, M, and SH games is named A because I don't have the patience to work my way through a up and down letter entry system.

Luckily, the patch for RB2 that includes the stars in the quickplay menu should becoming shortly with this Rock Band Network update.

If you've ever heard of Queens of the Stone Age, their frontman Josh Homme is a member of Eagles of Death Metal. So maybe that will give you an idea of what they're like.

If you like Josh Homme, keep an eye out for the new Arctic Monkeys album that's coming out soon. He produced it.

Ok, so what's your favourite band then?

Fact is Oasis is still the biggest band in the UK. They still consecutively sell out every single gig they play in their home country. From a pure technical standpoint they're an excellent live band. Not to mention the fact I got tremendous amounts of respect for any band that puts stuff out on their own label and does whatever the fuck they want to do and STILL be succesfull.

Either way, Oasis is my favorite band. That's my opinion, fucktard.

And Lady Gaga had a #1 hit in both the U.S. and the U.K. at the same time ~ something very few artists have achieved.

So... whats your point? That you like a band with a track record of mediocrity. Good for you?

EoDM are awesome. Still have yet to get a rhythm game (yeah i know)--will most likely (probably definitely) be getting Rock Band 2. Are those instruments compatible with GH games?

I don't think they've released decent DLC for GH since, ever.

How about picking a band somebody's heard of?

Considering that the Eagles of Death Metal DO have a following and that GHWT HAS used big-name bands (The Eagles, Paul McCartney and Wings, Smashing Pumpkins) as DLC before, I'm going to assume you're either trolling, a RB fanboy, or a moron.

Eagles of Death Metal are crazy-fun to see live. If I owned GH:WT I'd be all over this. I'll wait until GH5 though, that seems more worth a purchase.

Why isn't "Don't Speak (I Came to Make a Bang)" on here, though? Or "Speaking in Tongues"? There's plenty from the band that would work.
