He's got more talent that you or I could ever hope for, in anything.

And just from the fact that the "Anyway You Want it" master sounds somewhat off in GH3, I'm guessing they may not be.

I agree with your comments about Journey too. I'm not sure if that's a re-recording or what, but it's definitely not the original.

I look back at GH2, GH3, and the original RB lineup and there are a ton of songs that I never heard of, or didn't like to hear on the radio that are still a blast to play, and that's what the game is all about...playing, and the more new songs you can add to your lineup, the more fun the game is. Take advantage of what is offered to you, if you only want to hear your favorites, grab your iPod.
There's songs in RB already that I can't stand...if I could have gotten the game cheaper by not having those songs included, I would have. But that's the beauty of DLC = not having to spend money on shit songs.

Before GHIII came out I had a list of about 20 of the tracks I couldn't wait to play. A lot of what remained were songs I was unfamiliar with. Post release, and to this day, the ones I find most fun are the ones I didn't know.

I probably hadn't heard of half of the DLC I purchased before it was announced. For instance, I had never heard Limelight before it was announced, and that's one of my favorite tracks to pull double duty on with Guitar/Vocals or Bass/Vocals.

I guess i was puzzled why someone would be "severely" disappointed by something they would have no intention of buying and therefore not ever have to experience.

My orig post was that I was going to be disappointed.. I being the key word, meaning Me. I would personaly be disappointed. I would be glad for the prince fans, but I would get nothing out of it. For things like the trash metal, I dont like it, but I would atleast see more value in it that its more rock like, but Prince really is a sore spot for me and his type of music is all. I am sure I am in the minority here with my views of prince, i just dont like him

Having never ever played halo before, i thought I did OK.Well, you have never been to the moon, so yeah, you know nothing either.... Hhaha (See what I did there, i used your logic)..
Really people, I dont like prince, i dont think he is talented, thats just me. I have an opinion, deal with it. I know he has sold millions of records, and people love him, but I dont. Billy Ray Cirus sold millions as well, was Achy Breaky that great of a song, was he at the same level of Prince? Really, i just dont dig the Prince and his entire Moniker gimmick and what not ...

If there was ever an album tailor made for Rock Band it would be Boston's self-titled debut.
... hook, line, sinker. It was a joke. There was some tool in the forum about a month ago throwing out that line to everyone who didn't agree with him. We haven't seen him since.
Also, not as funny when you have to explain it. Although, I'm sure it is a line that will be around for a long while, so now you are "in the know."

My tastes are extremely varied, but I just never got into listening to what others thought I should listen to (radio).

That's the point that I was trying to make. I HATE the Grateful Dead...HATE them. When the pack came out I watched your video of it and thought Casey Jones looked like a fun song to play, as well as Truckin. I enjoy playing both of them, and I'm probably going to download the other 4 Dead songs eventually too just because it adds some new stuff to play. I also couldn't believe that I downloaded the B52 song...as I was DL'ing it I was looking around to make sure no one was watching, lol, but even that song is fun to play. Maybe it's me, but I just like playing this game, no matter what the song is. I'd never listen to 75-80% of the RB songs if they came on the radio, but I want to play them all.

I took it as a joke
No worries... Thanks for getting me "In The Know"....

I do find it funny that you say you don't like Prince and "his type of music," because Prince's music encompasses rock, country, jazz, new wave, funk, R&B, neo-psychedelia, rap, instrumental, acoustic, slow jams, freak outs, and much, much more besides. He's by far one of the most musically varied artists in the world. He just blends it all together into one big stew, versus someone like David Bowie, who is also very artistically diverse, but tends to focus on one style per album.
Edit: Just to make my point clear, I completely respect your opinion. No one is saying you have to enjoy Prince's music. We are asking that you respect his abilities as a musician and songwriter, even if it's not something you personally enjoy.

The beauty of this game is that if you don't download it, you never have to play it. The songs can't even come up in online games, because both parties have to have downloaded it.

As of right now, no.
For what it's worth, they did say that regular Friday announcements should happen at 2 PM EST. So perhaps today's announcement will be at 2 PM EST as well? If so, we only have another hour to wait.
