Pretty Fly needs to be the first dual-vocal track game and include Weird Al's lyrics for Pretty Fly (For a Rabbi)

Turbonegro not enough for you?!

RB2 hasn't even been announced yet, so probably that comes first.

On the ps3 wireless guitar, how can you tell if the batteries are going dead? does it just work fine until eventually they die, or is there a period of time when the batteries are going that the guitar is less responsive? thanks

I wouldn't mind a 6pk that included: Allied Forces, Lay It On the Line, Magic Power, Fight the Good Fight, Fool for Your Love, A World of Fantasy.

Rik is an underrated guitarist and that both he and Gil do lead vocals on different songs gives Triumph a different twist. I'm a Triumph fan and my nickname from high school still sticks with my small circle of friends when the drummers took the names of our rock counterparts. I ended up as Gil.

I'd like to wake up tomorrow morning to find that Molly Hatchet and Suffragette City never existed.

Looks like you're getting your wish. Potential Offspring 6-pack incoming! Directly confirmed from Offspring.com.

Coming soon for Rock Band:
“Come Out And Play [Keep ‘Em Separated]“
“Self Esteem“
“Gone Away“
“All I Want“
“Pretty Fly (For A White Guy)“
”The Kids Aren‘t Alright"

Looks like a good mix of songs from their various albums. Practically a greatest hits. Awesome!
WOW!

Honestly....honest to god...if you asked me to pick six Offspring songs I want for this game - I would've picked those six. That's fantastic!

All of that looks awesome. A split-strum on the bass? Bitchin!

If MC could get the rights to merge RB, RB2, and GH:WT functionality into one set of peripherals... I'd have to seriously consider it. Not to mention that if/when my drums go kaput anyway, if these get great reviews I'd get them in a heartbeat.

Nice! Hopefully they'll work well, too.

That reminds me. I got an email today reminding me that I should have gotten my replacement drums by now and that they'd be charging my credit card if I don't send my defective ones back by a certain date. The only problem is I haven't gotten any replacement drums and I was originally told they wouldn't send them until I supplied proof of purchase. If I get charged money for nothing, I'm going to go ballistic.

Those look nice, and hopefully work better, but at $150 for the drums alone? Ouch.

When has Mad Catz EVER produced a good 3rd party peripheral? Only crap I've ever bought of theirs either was sub-par from the get go or broke after a couple of months of normal use.

I would've bought them if they were made by anyone but MadCatz.

That's what I thought. I would never drop fifty bones on a peripheral from them, let alone $150. You're just asking for trouble if you even consider that.

Love the looks of the drums, really love the Telecaster, really don't love Mad Catz or the price tags. $80 for a wired guitar?

Yeah this wired business just has to stop. The drums don't bother me being wired, though wireless would be nicer (and the new GH drums are wireless), but at least with my setup, having a wired guitar is just annoying as hell.

The wired doesn't bother me, necessarily, since I read that MC will be making wireless versions of the guitar and bass soon. The fact that they want $80 for it is crazy.

I'm not a huge Offspring fan, but I may have to pick up that pack just on the principle that I think everyone I know would know these songs.
