Hopefully Blur graces us with a master this time, too.

I, for one, am super excited for Pink - but this isn't news to anyone here.

Re: Rock Band: Official Thread

Will they bring in some of the other LEGO titles for playable characters?

Indy? Star Wars? Batman?

Re: Rock Band: Official Thread

Following the exporting train of thought, will RB2 be exportable into this? I would export them both to the hard drive to have all the songs available in both games, but that's just me

Re: Rock Band: Official Thread

I will play and maybe even buy LEGO Rock Band, but the songs better export into RB2 as well. While LEGO people would be cool for a little bit, I would rather play RB2 for the year until RB3.

Re: Rock Band: Official Thread

Not much interest in the game itself, but I like that partial track list. I hope we can get those in Rock Band proper somehow.

Wait, what? A Pixy sighting in a music thread?

As for the Lego thing, I'm down. I'm not familiar with the Good Charlotte tune though.

Oh? Well, I end up playing Rock Band at parties quite often and I am usually dragged into playing a set on GH: WT when I'm at the girl's house.. I just don't own any of them (and GH: Aerosmith is only on my Gamercard because of the ex).

I will (probably) be buying DJ Hero.

I am as excited to have P!nk in Rock Band as I was to have Pearl Jam. Woo!

Re: Rock Band: Official Thread

Besides the Good Charlotte track, I want each of those tracks, badly. Especially The Final Countdown, which I have wanted since RB1 came out.

Re: Rock Band: Official Thread

So this might be nostalgia talking, but I think (on guitar) today's REO/Styx pack is in the top 5 DLC for me. I haven't given much thought beyond that, but it may be top 3.

All the REO songs are great and sound fantastic. Sure, it's disappointing that "Ridin' the Storm Out" is the non-Cronin studio track, but it's still awesome. The Styx re-records are certainly not to the level of the originals, but those differences really only show up in a few spots. The solos, by the way, are pretty crazy, especially in "Renegade." The one song I was worried about was "Can't Stop Rockin'," but even though it's pretty cheeseball, it's still a blast.

Great, great pack.

I'm thinking I'll just get the REO songs. This STYX douchebaggery of shafting Dennis DeYoung is unforgivable.

This is incorrect.

I want Lego everything! Combining it with my favorite game ever?! Forget about it!

And me being a 12 year old aside, it's pretty brilliant from a marketing standpoint towards the kids and tweens.

Re: Rock Band: Official Thread

The only thing I don't like hate about the Lego game franchise is the natural environments. EVERYTHING should be made of legos. That stage? Legos. The window? Legos. The lights? Legos.

I'm sorry, but the plural of LEGO is LEGO!

Everything should be made out of Lego brand universal building blocks.

Re: Rock Band: Official Thread

I wonder if some Rock Band branded Lego toys will be coming out around the same time? I'd buy a little band for my desk.

Ridin the Storm Out is actually Kevin Cronin. It's the original recording for the album. He left before the album was completed and Mike Murphy re-recorded all of the vocals. REO have been putting a box set together of hits, demos, and maybe unreleased stuff. They must have found the original vocals.

Well, if you're going to talk about Lego Rock Band toys...why not instruments (controllers for the game) that look like they're made of Legos? The fret buttons could look like giant Lego blocks, the drum pads could be square...I'm a huge Beatles fan, but if giant Lego instruments came out, I may actually go for those instead.

I don't see how it would be any different other than Lego-ized rockers and stages. At least the other Lego games were original games.
