I never thought I'd say something like this but I think The Bangles is the best song this week.
*barf*
P.S. I'd hit that like an Egyptian.

Good luck on your trip back to the 80s.
Meaning, who knows what they look like these days?
Zoot Suit Jedi @ Nov 13th 2009 12:46PM
I want to show them my "obelisk," if you know what I mean.
Zoot Suit Jedi @ Nov 13th 2009 12:47PM
@McBrick
the cute one is still pretty good lookin'.
Oneiromancer @ Nov 13th 2009 12:49PM
Susanna Hoffs. And yes indeed.

I'd 'light up my lightsaber' for her...
Morisato @ Nov 13th 2009 2:35PM
It's all or nothing... and no, you cant use a delorean.

@McBrick,
They look like this now:

I'd say the brunette's still cute.

So...Turning Japanese will be next week?
tcc3 @ Nov 13th 2009 12:57PM
I really think so
mywhitenoise @ Nov 13th 2009 12:43PM
...man, that really sucks.
Eh @ Nov 13th 2009 12:50PM
The Go Go's > The Bangles
Jose [Steam & PSN: Assmar] @ Nov 13th 2009 12:55PM
Tiffany pwns all!
VaultBoy @ Nov 13th 2009 1:36PM
That doesn't make either band good. Gotta pass this week. The Brutal pack, and the latest Foo Fighters trump this week's selection.
Jose [Steam & PSN: Assmar] @ Nov 13th 2009 12:50PM
If only they'd release Answer That and Stay Fashionable, Very Proud of Ya, or Shut Your Mouth and Open Your Eyes, it'd make these band games much more appealing. Same thing for old No Doubt (shit used to have HORNS), and Green Day.
Zoot Suit Jedi @ Nov 13th 2009 1:12PM
Sucks to your ass-mar!
Kevin949 @ Nov 13th 2009 1:53PM
back when no doubt was actually a Ska band and not the "every other band" they are now?
DWells55 @ Nov 13th 2009 12:53PM
Worst Rock Band DLC week ever?
charlie b. @ Nov 13th 2009 1:01PM
how dare you speak ill of one of the key songs of the 80s!?
VaultBoy @ Nov 13th 2009 1:38PM
Look on the bright side, one less thing to tug at your wallet strings this week. And there's probably a ton of great music already in the store you could catch up on. I know I could...
masteraj1991 @ Nov 13th 2009 1:03PM
I hate AFI, they should release more Rush
HAAS599 @ Nov 13th 2009 1:04PM
We need AFI music pre-Sing the Sorrow.
Jose [Steam & PSN: Assmar] @ Nov 13th 2009 1:58PM
Pre-Black Sails if you ask me? And if you didn't ask, you really should have.
Jose [Steam & PSN: Assmar] @ Nov 13th 2009 1:58PM
Um... minus "?"
Don't ask me about punctuation, apparently.
dark_inchworm (stronger than never, ever before) @ Nov 13th 2009 2:18PM
Even Sing the Sorrow wasn't that bad, in my opinion, though it was probably too drastic a departure from preceding material. Everything after that, though? Holy shit it's awful.
charlie b. @ Nov 13th 2009 1:09PM
all the old paintings on the tomb they do the same dance, don'tcha know.
if they move too quick, OH WAY OHH, they're fallin' down like a domino.
and the bizarre man by the Nile he got the money on a bet.
gold crocodiles, OH WAY OHH, they snap their teeth on a cigarette
foreign types with their hookah pipes sing, WAY OHH, WAY OHH, WAY oh-oh way ohh.
walk like an egyptian!
Zoot Suit Jedi @ Nov 13th 2009 1:14PM
Whistle Solo!! \\m// (-.-) \\m//
Troy Powers (PSN: TroyPowers) @ Nov 13th 2009 2:42PM
LOL
Whistle solo FTW!!!
WINterfang ( Now with the power to piss you off ) @ Nov 13th 2009 1:25PM
Those chicks are hot.
Warlock @ Nov 13th 2009 1:34PM
WTB Manic Monday!
charlie b. @ Nov 13th 2009 2:14PM
i wish it was Sunday. that's my fun-day!
VaultBoy @ Nov 13th 2009 1:42PM
If we are going into the emo-esque faux punk rock, at least put out "The Black Parade" by My Chemical Romance. Granted I do not advocate them as a band save for a few songs, but this one at least has a bit of a Queen-inspired solo in the middle that surprised me when I first heard it. Feel free to bash my suggestion...
dark_inchworm (stronger than never, ever before) @ Nov 13th 2009 2:20PM
Invitation accepted:
Hell to the no
VaultBoy @ Nov 13th 2009 2:27PM
Both bands are on equal footing in my book, I was only making a comparrison. Can we get something GOOD next week please HMX?
Jose [Steam & PSN: Assmar] @ Nov 13th 2009 3:08PM
AFI was good at one point in their career, My Chemical Romance never was. That's one big difference. AFI used to actually play punk rock and hardcore.
VaultBoy @ Nov 13th 2009 10:10PM
I was merely stating that if they are going to go into the realm of whiny emo garbage, I prefer one type over another if given a choice I'd opt for "none of the above". I know AFI used to be punk, but not for over a decade, and I didnt care for them then either. I would opt for some more Bad Religion, early Pennywise, Black Flag, Circle Jerks, or Ramones. CRAP! I promised myself i wouldnt make a list...
Jose [Steam & PSN: Assmar] @ Nov 14th 2009 4:09PM
No to the Ramones, no to Bad Religion, and no to Pennywise. I see there's little hope for you. I was talking about hardcore, which is different from punk rock. Try Minor Thread, Fat Sally, 88 Fingers Louie, Funeral Oration, and Gorilla Biscuits, and call me in the morning.
Ryo @ Nov 13th 2009 1:54PM
I would have preferred the Bangles being the larger release pack over AFI. The GF would be happy to sing "Hazy Shade of Winter", "Manic Monday", "If She Knew Want She Wants", and "In Your Room".
Troy Powers (PSN: TroyPowers) @ Nov 13th 2009 2:44PM
Dude...even for a guy who has a girlfriend, you know WAY too many Bangles songs.
Shagittarius @ Nov 13th 2009 3:10PM
Hey! What about "Eternal Flame"?
Fane [Grammar Police - Power Of Pedantry] @ Nov 15th 2009 4:15AM
"Hazy Shade Of Winter" actually kind of rocks. The others are pretty pop-y.
Don-Don @ Nov 13th 2009 2:27PM
More importantly, does this mean they'll be releasing Lego Rock Band songs individually? In that case, I won't bother trying to find a new copy cheap just to import.
Don-Don @ Nov 13th 2009 2:29PM
Nevermind. I just realized it meant The Bangles was available in the Lego Rock Band *store* and not from the game disc.
javier @ Nov 13th 2009 2:28PM
WHAAAAT? why are you guys hating so much? AFI is awesome, I'm seeing them tonight here in NYC, this is going to be my third time seeing them and I can honestly say they have one of the best live acts I have ever seen.
charlie b. @ Nov 13th 2009 3:01PM
they WERE a good band. past tense.
Jose [Steam & PSN: Assmar] @ Nov 13th 2009 3:09PM
I second that motion, chucky b.
Phylogenetics @ Nov 13th 2009 6:52PM
But you must admit their bass sounds a lot better now. Pre-black sails they were still doing the Seinfeld bass settings. The verses to totalimmortal reminded me so much of Seinfeld the song became -_-
CrissCross87 @ Nov 13th 2009 2:40PM
Still morr songs to select from compared to Guitar Hero this week, amirite? I just hit my 250th download song last week. I'm glad my wallet can take a breather. Or I guess I could catch up on past songs. I still have some points left
Ghostsong @ Nov 13th 2009 4:54PM
I'll take whatever AFI I can get. Though Very Proud of you may even be a bit far back. I think Black Sails would be a better fit for Rock Band. I also think the song choices from AFI this week are more to under cut Guitar Hero 5 than they are smart choices.
Freezer @ Nov 14th 2009 1:40AM
No "Hazy Shade Of Winter"? BOO YOU WHORE!
