Lame. Starting a new job really put the damper on my internet time :(

Re: Rock Band: Official Thread
 

Sounds like someone needs to reconsider their priorities...

Re: Rock Band: Official Thread
 

I'm just hoping for more new music.

Before the Green Day release, I can't think of the last time they had any current (<6 months old) music available as DLC, maybe Disturbed a year or so back? They need to continue to work with the record companies closer and have track packs available with the release of a new album. The synergy is obvious for both the record companies and the Harmonix, with increased sales for both.

Re: Rock Band: Official Thread
 

They have released some new music. Off the top of my head the Reo/Styx track and Spinal Tap. But yeah, they are a bit behind. I don't mind it though. With a lot of these bands, I dig their older stuff more than the new stuff. That isn't across the board, but it is the majority of the time.

Re: Rock Band: Official Thread
 

I personally prefer older tracks, or at least tracks I'm more likely to be familiar with. I do like encountering and enjoying music new to me, but I'm more likely to buy songs I somewhat know. When I go to a concert, I'd like to hear mostly songs I already know, as well.

Re: Rock Band: Official Thread
 

Nah, I just bought the Speedwagon ones cause they looked ridonkulously fun (and I hate Speedwagon!)

Re: Rock Band: Official Thread
 

Thanks for the tip since this is much closer to home. Just filled up the Civic there and picked up 4 bottles. I'm kind of excited about tomorrow since we have a department meeting with an opportunity to score a couple dozen bottle caps.

Congrats on the new job L&O!

East Jesus Nowhere is the first song I remember actually having "god damn" charted vocally. Had quite a chuckle when my 8 year-old sang that.

Re: Rock Band: Official Thread
 

More soda talk:

Found the caps on both Mountain Dew and Sierra Mist at Meijer a few hours ago. $1.38 each though. No sale.

Re: Rock Band: Official Thread
 

I wonder how long until someone gets 100% on East Jesus Nowhere on X Guitar. These three songs from Green Day makes me really want their stuff from Dookie now.

Re: Rock Band: Official Thread
 

Actually, Weezer's El Scorcho had it charted way back on 2/19/08. The very first line of "God damn these half-Japanese girls".

Re: Rock Band: Official Thread
 

Ah, right.

Re: Rock Band: Official Thread
 

So where's the consistency? This ain't a scene, it's an arms race is so awkward to sing without the god damn in it. I don't listen to the radio, is that how the radio version goes?

Re: Rock Band: Official Thread
 

Maybe it's something to do with the amount? How many times do Green Day say it in their tune?

Re: Rock Band: Official Thread
 

I think it's radio edit in the case of Fall Out Boy. Green Day only says it once.

Frequency *should* have no bearing. It *should* be about context.

IMO, the context in both these examples are identical. El Scorcho has a different context.

Re: Rock Band: Official Thread
 

If only our world made this much sense. :( I'm pretty sure the Fallout Boy is due to the frequency, and the availability of a radio edit to just avoid any issues from the jump.

I've been wrong all these years. There is a God! :)

He hadn't made his presence known earlier because he was too busy damning things, apparently.

Re: Rock Band: Official Thread
 

I have a trashcan full of caps here that I'll sell to you for $0.40 a piece.

Are you sure you thought your bulletin board offering through all the way? We computer programmers can be sticklers for details.

So... I'm just a dumb PS3 owner so I clearly can't handle retrieving a code online. The damn thing defaults to XBox and I just forgot to change it. (Dammit, kicked in the nuts again.)

If some wise and gracious 360 owner would like to swap me a cap code (or the PS3 version of the song when it releases on tomorrow) for Green Day's "East Jesus Nowhere" I would thereby deem you to be my favorite person for at least 15 seconds.

Re: Rock Band: Official Thread
 

I would help you if I didn't already get that song yesterday.

Re: Rock Band: Official Thread
 

Hey jdpatri, check your PMs.

Re: Rock Band: Official Thread
 

Congratulations, you are now my favorite person. Certainly my favorite 360-owner. Definitely not that Pinata jerk who first mocked me before refusing to help those less privileged than he.

Oh, also, because Mad Dawg's such a swell guy, someone else on the forum gets to benefit. If anybody wants that code for East Jesus Nowhere let me know. But to earn the code you'll also have to come up with three good reasons why you regret not buying Rock Band for PS3.

Re: Rock Band: Official Thread
 

:lol: Eat it, pinata!

I hope that code's a winner, though.

Re: Rock Band: Official Thread
 

It's all good. jd's still my favorite PS3-gamer. Well, by default that is...
