Re: Rock Band: Official Thread
I guess if they had to release SpongeCrapSquareWhatever, releasing it with a Great Journey Song and a good PB song was the right time, i will overlook it because I WONT STOP BELIEVING
EDIT: Woah... that Von Bondies song is the song from Rescue Me... That song rules... One of the better weeks even with the kiddie songs in there.... Hell Yeah

Re: Rock Band: Official Thread
Color me deeply confused about Spongebob, and I was hoping the Pat Benetar song would be "Love is a Battlefield" since I already have Heartbreaker (or at least I think I do).
But I'm on board with Journey. I'm not a fan by any stretch, but it looks like a fun party song.

Spongebob is just the next natural progression under the Viacom umbrella.
There are a lot of Spongebob songs that would work in Rock Band. Even if they were by other artists. Check the movie soundtrack: http://www.amazon.com/SpongeBob-Squa.../dp/B00064AEL0

I'd prefer that they could get it to work with a Roland V-Drum kit, but in this age where I'm spending a lot on DLC, I'm not ready to drop $300 on half of a real kit. If they can have MadCatz produce a peripheral cymbal, they can come up with a peripheral pad. (Or else I'll take apart my RB1 kit and figure something out).
Oh wait there is money and corporate IP involved, compensation, rights and all that legal stuff. Meh forget it.
Seems silly that you cant hook up a $1K or a $5K pro drum kit and play a silly little game with it.

In for Journey.
See I was thinking more along the lines of pairing them up evenly. Since the Boston pack only has 6 songs, I'd compare the top 6 from the other packs to it. So in that case it weeds out some of the dull stuff from the other packs.

Glasvegas is a great band -- one of my favorite albums of last year. I'm ecstatic to see them in Rock Band. I don't know how much fun the charting will be for "Geraldine" but I'm in no matter what. It's always fun to imitate the Scottish accent for vocals. Looks like I'll pick up Journey, Glasvegas and maybe the Von Bondies (I'm pretty sick of hearing this song on the MLB network). I still have to pick up the two New Porn's tracks from last week too.

Re: Rock Band: Official Thread
And besides, who wants to argue about what the best 6 are in every pack?
For PJ, since Alive is already on disk, I'd have to go with Porch, Evenflow, Black, Jeremy, Once, and ??? (might need some time to fill in that 6th spot)

Re: Rock Band: Official Thread
Is it too much to want Benatar's "Invincible"?!
FAIR IS FAIR!
I'll be picking up the Journey, Benatar, and VB. C'mon C'mon is going to be fucking awesome!

There is no question they are doing this...
I love the eclectic weeks...but when you have certain artists (like Journey and PB) where it is really, really easy to come up with a 6, 8, or 12 pack...do it.

Re: Rock Band: Official Thread
With Journey, you lose me after Any Way You Want It and Don't Stop Believin'.
Pat Benetar...I s'pose I could get to 6. Hit Me, Heartbreaker, We Belong, Love is a Battlefield, Invincible, ???

Easily get to 6 with PB. (Love, Hit, Shadows, Belong, Heart, Invinc, Fire, etc..)
Journey? Even easier. (Separate, Only the Young, Wheel in the Sky, etc...)

Re: Rock Band: Official Thread
I've had to crank the sound and turn off the background noise for all of them to even hear the vocals. Didn't notice the problem on "Knights of Cydonia", but I have on everything else. Maybe it's just me. That being said, I would still buy everything they put out.

Fair enough. Journey might be one of those bands that I know their songs but not by name. Don't they have a ton of cheesy power balads...sort of like Chicago?

I love Muse, but have found all the DLC, in both RB and GH, to be mixed horribly. I've had to crank the sound and turn off the background noise for all of them to even hear the vocals.

Re: Rock Band: Official Thread
Journey is just a godsend, and "Heartbreaker" is worth the $2 for me to have it in RB. I do wish we'd gotten multiples, too.
The ones-ies make me worry about the inevitable Styx/REO/.38 Special stuff. The rumor is that the new Styx/REO collaboration song is going to be DLC, so I worry they might round out a pack with one each and maybe even skip .38 Special altogether. But I guess we'll see.
