    I really like everything from the 1990s back. like legit everything xD Especially Plush and Bohemian Rhapsody. And Sister Christian xDD

    I'm super fucking excited xD

    I find it weird that I pretty much don't know most of the 2000s stuff. THEY BETTER HAVE SOME TOOL AND SHIT OR I'M GONNA BE PISSED.
     
  3. I noticed a lot of foreign-language stuff. I want these:

    Hole
    Pink Floyd
    Elliott Smith
    Jeff Buckley
    (more) David Bowie
    Joy Division
    BTBAM
    Pantera
    Judas Priest
    Nirvana (something off of In Utero or the Unplugged album)
    Alice in Chains (Give me Dirt, Rotten Apple, or Angry Chair!)
    Pearl Jam (Yellow Ledbetter, plz?)
    Husker Du
    OutKast (for REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAL)
    Lynyrd Skynyrd (The Ballad or Curtis Lowe or gtfo!)
    Public Enemy
    ABBA
    Black Sabbath

    Is that too much to ask? xD

    No, it's amazing. xD
     
  5. I'm especially going to freak if we don't get any more Hole. I want to play all of Live Through This so badly.

    Well I went to school
    In Olympia

    They need more Doors too. Specifically The End. THATD BE SO AMAZING OMFG.
     
  8. Agreed. They obviously weren't going to have The End on-disc (it's way too long to be on disc). I know that The Camera Eye is like, 11 minutes, but it's DLC. I think The End is definitely going to be DLC, though. Always trust Harmonix! :slight_smile:

    And I cannot wait to play Break On Through! It's going to be friggin' amazing.

    Here I Go Again is epic is as I Love Rock N Roll. But everything else kind of sucks in my opinion.

    Really disappointed in you >_> xD

    And its only a really small portion. There are gonna be like 86 songs or something, plus Rock Band 1 and 2 songs, The Beatles Rock Band, and that other band that shall not be named Rock Band. AND the existing DLC. AND Rock Band Network songs.

    Its a shitload of songs.

    Not only am I stoked about some of the songs that have been confirmed but I really like the idea of the "pro" mode where you can use all 25 keys on the keyboard as if it was a real keyboard and not some fisher-price toy. It also says they'll be selling a full-sized fully functional Fender Strat which sounds awesome. I wonder if I'll be able to just use any old Strat.

    I hope they add some more Queen songs... Play the Game perhaps. Maybe they can find someway of integrating the keyboard into the existing Queen songs that have been made available. I'd also like to see some Neil Young one day. Maybe it's just because I just bought a ticket to see him solo in concert and only a few rows from the stage and I'm creaming-in-my-pants excited.

    Because that was the worst possible band they could've picked? (Okay, they could've picked worse probably, like Fallout Boy or something). I haven't played it yet, but knowing most of Green Days discography, it would be horribly boring.

    I would talk about what I am excited about for this game, but I am honestly too excited about absolutely everything to pick just one thing, so I'll randomly choose one announcement to be excited about... HOLY SHIT BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY!!! AND WITH KEYBOARDS!!!! (In case you can't tell, I am an unabashed Rock Band fanboy.)

    I would also just like to say to all of those people who say, "They should put [X band] in this game!", Harmonix has a lot of things to consider when they make the setlist for the main game, so they sometimes just can't put in certain songs. That's what the DLC (downloadable content) and RBN (Rock Band network) is for.

    With that said, this would be the perfect time for them to finally include some Yes in Rock Band.

    I hope you aren't really disappointed because you don't recognize the songs. For both Rock Band 1 and 2, I didn't recognize the vast majority of the songs, yet I ended up loving the set-list of both games. Have some faith in Harmonix; these people know what they are doing.

    ^ Oh I know, its all about copyright and shiznit. And the artist's participation.

    That's why there is no Led Zeppelin or Pink Floyd.

    Green days ok, IMO. They couldve picked worse, they couldve picked better.

    ----------

    The same thing happened to me. I think I'm mostly disappointed because I don't recognize any of the songs from 2000's.
     
  20. Green Day is kinda meh. I love Dookie, but it all goes way downhill from there. I think I might pick GD: RB up when it's $20, though. Fortysomething songs for that wouldn't be a bad deal. But they could have picked so much better stuff. *facepalm*
