I'll be sure to look for you :-) I want the achievements and I don't have too much time to do the whole world tour thing. I just realized I can filter to just see Friends scores. Woohoo! I'm on top for a couple of songs! :-D

A lot of the Christian Metal bands like As I Lay Dying and August Burns Red fall into this category as well.
Some original samples:
Spoiler:
I know a lot of people hate the screamo vocals, but for one reason or another, I still prefer it over a lot of stuff out there, has a good feel of aggression and is oddly relaxing at the same time.

I'm more of a rock guy, myself, so Rock Band is right up my alley.I hadn't heard a lot of the songs before the tracklist was announced either, but I play/listen to the mp3s enough to get them down pretty quick.

I had my real band over to play rock band after the super bowl and it was a certified disaster 
I had to save my overdrives just to try and save everyone else!!
I told them that they had to perform the song per the notes on screen and couldn't veer off into improv. Despite that, my singer started doing his live routine, my drummer started showing off and the bassist got bored and started addling lines.
It was pretty funny to see guys who can pull off some impressive stuff in real life get totally pwned by this game. Just goes to show you how much of a difference there really is.

Nothing too exciting for me this week, but I'll grab the songs and give them a listen a little later today. I watched a youtube video of the FNM song when it was originally leaked and wasn't impressed, but I'll keep an open mind if the charts are good.

"We Care a Lot" is more of a shout/rap style song, I'm not sure how the singing portion will be for this.

wow, it's like they pumped out 2 good months of DLC then completely gave up and release crap now. Everything in March is gonna suck except the police song and maybe a NIN or 2. So far Feb is horrible too

At the very least, Simple Man and Message In a Bottle are fun to play on guitar and sing, Fuel is recognizeable, and the thrash pack (which isn't really thrash, but no less) kicks ass. Alas as with all things, tastes vary.
You've got to keep in mind, there are people who actually bought and enjoy Brass in Pocket.
March 4 - Thrash Pack
At The Gates: Blinded By Fear
Evile: Thrashes
The Haunted: Shadow World
March 11
Bad Company: Shooting Star (COVER) (Depending on Qual of Cover, sort of a maybe)
Lynyrd Skynyrd: Simple Man
The Police: Message in a Bottle
March 18 - NIN Pack
Nine Inch Nails: March of the Pigs
Nine Inch Nails: The Collector
Nine Inch Nails: The Perfect Drug
March 25 - Metal Pack
Iron Maiden: Wrathchild (COVER) (Depending on Cover)
Black Sabbath: Supernaut (COVER) (Depending on Cover)
Metallica: Fuel (Sort of indifferent to)

I'll be the first to admit that I prefer classic rock/80s pop/etc, but I know other people appreciate Metallica/Rush/etc. I don't mind the fact that they come out with good stuff every week, but this week really stinks IMO.
