Why does Harmonix hate singers?

I have to agree with 'Drone. Also, that and Pinball Wizard are the only ones that really jumped out at me (in a good way. Several WTFs though). If the ones I don't know sound anything like the setlist for RB1, I won't bother.

Not even true.  The Wii is getting Rock Band 2 also. Just later, with the other consoles.
Though it will likely have some features removed because harmonix is a bunch of bitches.

I was wondering when they'd finally put chop suey into a guitar game. i always thought it sounded like so much fun to play.
Title: Re: Rock Band 2: The Setlist
Post by: imapiratearg on 17 Jul 2008, 21:34
I kind of feel like that is the worst Mastodon song you could pick for a game like this.  Seriously.  Even "The Wolf is Loose" would have been better.
Title: Re: Rock Band 2: The Setlist
Post by: CursedMortivore on 18 Jul 2008, 09:24
That Bikini Kill song is ridiculously awesome and I look forward to playing it.

...

Now that I think about it, it'd probably be best to gather a group of good-looking females to play it.

Hey, at least they have Mastodon. What would have been bitchin' though is if they did Capillarian Crest. The guitar would be so good.

"Capillarian Crest" rocks so hard.

Post by: Ozymandias on 18 Jul 2008, 10:04
I would like to point out that the existence of an artist in the main set list greatly increases their chances of appearing in the DLC.

I'll bet many dollars that that Chinese Democracy song means Appetite for Destruction (or a G'n'R super pack like The Who one that was just released) will appear as album DLC later on, for example.

I want a Boris pack.

Come on, you know those guys play Rock Band.  They're Japanese!  EVERYONE IN JAPAN PLAYS VIDEO GAMES!

Post by: Johnny C on 18 Jul 2008, 16:20
Actually I was listening to Pink recently and it struck me how well some of the tracks would fit in Rock Band.

Do you think Harmonix haven't actually heard Sloan? I can't think of a reason they wouldn't be in Rock Band otherwise, they're Goddamn made for it.
Title: Re: Rock Band 2: The Setlist

Dude, like everyone at Harmonix is a musician. I have to imagine they know about just about every band on Earth.
Title: Re: Rock Band 2: The Setlist
Post by: Internet Hate Machine on 18 Jul 2008, 19:51
The Modest Mouse is a good addition. But why Float on? They seemed to just grab it because it is popular, why not Paper Thin Walls? Much better song, sounds much funner to play. Other than that and a few other songs, it looks like it will be fun to play.

And the new Guns n' roses made me speeshfull.

I do not understand how Paper Thin Walls would be more fun to play than Float On.

I am getting this, never in a million years would i expect to see Sonic Youth and Dinosaur Jr. (two favourite bands) on Guitar Hero or Rockband. I WANT IT!

I think they'd be about the same, really. And I can't honestly think of any other Modest Mouse song that would actually be fun to play on Rock Band.

I think The Stars Are Projectors would be pretty fun.

Post by: Jackie Blue on 18 Jul 2008, 23:29
At work tonight I was listening to Last Splash and it occurred to me that "Cannonball" is basically THE perfect song for Rock Band.  Prominent and fun bass line, rockin' guitar, punchy drum rhythm, and yelling "WANT YOU!  CU-CUCKOO!!!!  CANNONBALL!!!!!!" would be nice also.

I'm sure Harmonix has heard Sloan but let's be honest, outside of Canada almost nobody gives a shit about them.  I even know quite a few people who like the "indie rock" but think of Sloan as a cheezy mediocre pop band.

Idiots.   :x
Title: Re: Rock Band 2: The Setlist
Post by: CarbonatedWeasel on 19 Jul 2008, 01:32
I could definately use more than one ska song in the setlist.
The Mighty Mighty Bosstones are pretty awesome though.

Post by: Johnny C on 19 Jul 2008, 01:59
I once again defy anyone to watch this video (http://youtube.com/watch?v=M3tLtF8kyOQ) and resist the urge to rock the fuck out.

Come on, Harmonix. If you can get songs by fucking Trapt into your game, then you can get SLOAN.

"Doin' the Cockroach."

And oh my goodness, Johnny, that Sloan song would be fantastic for Rock Band.

I still think the vocals are iffy on the "fun" aspect at quite a few places, but I guess this one would be all right. I stand corrected.

The song list is awesome, but is DLC confirmed for Wii?  If not, I'm probably going to get Guitar Hero: World Tour, simply for the downloadable content.

The Dream Theater song sold me on this game. I love them. Panic Attack has to be in the Impossible Songs category.

I can't wait to drum the shit outta that one.

Same here,
If they dont realize that downloadable content is really that big of a deal then Im not gonna spend the money on it. Which is sad because Ive always liked rock band more than Guitar Hero.
Anyway, Im glad that at least GH will have DLC.
Title: Re: Rock Band 2: The Setlist
Post by: Ozymandias on 19 Jul 2008, 18:02
We'll see if the Wii actually gets DLC for GH.

THe problem has never been at EA or Activision's end.

It totally has. Fucking Sega is doing DLC for the Wii version of Samba De Amigo, but you're telling me that EA and Activision can't get their shit together for some of their biggest properties?
Title: Re: Rock Band 2: The Setlist

Wait, there's DLC for Samba de Amiga? How'd they manage to make it work?

Post by: Storm Rider on 19 Jul 2008, 20:08
Dunno, the game's not out yet. But Gearbox and Sega have said that they're planning to do it.

People really need to learn to stop blaming Nintendo for Wii's online shit. EA somehow made multiplayer awesome with Medal of Honor Heroes 2, even cutting out the terrible friend codes system and implementing their own online handle system, so Nintendo can't be entirely to blame. I'm sure EA could figure DLC out if they really wanted to.

As far as proof of DLC for GH:WT, there's this: http://www.gamedaily.com/games/guitar-hero-iii-legends-of-rock/wii/game-features/guitar-hero-world-tour-for-wii-getting-downloadable-tracks/?biz=1

I wish I could buy it but I don't own anything to play it on so buying the game will be pointless. But I guess it's okay, as I am pretty sure my university will buy one or two copies and have them available to play at various events.

There are so many songs on this one that I actually know. I can sing more! Yay!

Aye. It'll be intense.

Man, I'd really love to play some Pink Floyd. Problem is a lot of their songs have killer solos in them, but also have guitar-less passages full of nothing but synth and such. Which is something that kind of bugs me--I wish they would bring out a keyboard instrument. I know, it sounds lame. But so many of these songs, and so many of the songs in the 1st Rock Band have major keyboard parts in them.

Harmonix considered it but they're not too keen on the idea at this time. Besides, as you can tell by the Nine Inch Nails DLC, songs with sparse guitar parts can have their synth/piano parts thrown on the guitar player, though most didn't really like that feature and the guitar parts were still pretty light.

I just wish to fuck they could give us just a FEW blistering post-rock songs.  OK, all the good ones don't have words so you wouldn't have a singer on those tracks, but fuck, 80% of the songs in Rock Band have bass parts you can barely hear so it would only be fair.
