I'm sure I'll feel the same way after Nevermind is released. I'll pick it up right away, but I don't know if I'll always feel like playing Something in the Way or Lounge Act.
I mentioned that about a month back. I'd love to deactivate the Metallica tracks. Those are a bitch in the random setlist.

it was probably the reduced price point that held these up...I'll have to check out the vids to decide if I'm getting these or not.

Paramore's a given in my house - the other 2 are passes upon listening (I hate SoaD). Love the price points, though.

i've never heard of paramore before this (sounds like avril to me) and Black Tide seem like some good ol' Butt Rock but by some young kids - might be worth picking up. So 2/3 for me sounds likely. Sorry Paramore - your singer is tappable, but your music isn't.

Hmm.. looks like I'll buy all 3, but delete 2 until I can get thru some of the city sets. I wish it was a different serj/system of a down song.

The Paramore song was pretty cool sounding. The third song you posted the video for i didn't like at all.

However, since they are half-price i will most likely just snag all 3 to have something to play. 80 points is cheap for another song someone visiting me might like.

3 artists that aren't already in the game? And 3 master tracks to boot? Nice. Not too interested in any of them though. Might bite anyway for a buck each.

I'm 99% sure this isn't what they originally intended to release for this week. These songs can't possibly be the reason for the hold-up. That being said, I'll be picking up the Serj song for sure (vocals sound like a bitch!). I'll have to listen to the other two when I get home from work, but for $1.00, I'll probably bite if there's anything redeeming at all.

I have to agree, I was like "WTF are these?"

But for 80 points... I'll give them a listen

EDIT: I like Paramore, but those other two... good lord.

Yep, I'll bet they were working on trying to get something else finished, and finally had to say F it, we'll go with plan B for this week.

For about $0.75 a piece (I got all my points at least 25% off), I'll probably get a couple at least, even though none sound great to me. Hopefully a lot of people are in this same boat, and it enlightens the Harmonix folks to lower the regular prices a tiny bit. You know, you could do some $1.50 songs, I doubt if everything has to be in equal dollar increments.

EDIT: The Black Tide song sounds like it could be pretty fun on guitar.

Not huge on any of em, but the Black Tide song should be fun, and the Serj song might be as well.

People like Paramore? Wow.

Oh Serj...what an awful song title...

EDIT: I would've been a lot more excited if it had been "Empty Walls." LOVE that song...

Aww man! When I heard Paramore I was hoping it'd be Misery Business. I'll get this one anyway! :-)

Black Tide sounded like it would be fun. The other two I didn't like at all. I'm so disappointed that they released those songs instead of some Prince tracks.

I agree these must be fallback tracks.

Never heard any of em before. The Serj track sounds pretty cool, I will grab that.

The Paramore is exactly the kind of thing I wish I could remove from the RB setlist of songs that are on the disc, I sure won't be adding any more of those.

And the last one, I couldn't get thru 30 seconds of. That person(s) should not be trying to sing.
