I can't wait for them to define these "exclusive windows" on the retail track packs.

I was wondering the same thing about those PSP tracks this morning.

Fuck.

Levitate is a great tune. And I'd like to play Bulls on Parade. But that's about it from that list, guess I'll wait.

Someone needs to explain to me how the exact same word gets censored in "100,000 Years"...

I think the took the docs off the RBN site for people not in the beta, but apparently they give some overall rules. But sometimes it's their call, and sometimes it's the ESRB, the label, etc. I don't think we'll ever get any solid reasoning with hard and fast rules, because it'll be case by case.

There was a big storm over why they editted "This Ain't a Scene..." so heavily, but the exact same thing happened when it showed up in one of the Guitar Hero DS games. In that case, it was probably the version they both received.

The first 4 minutes of the hour certainly didn't work for me as I went 0-2 at 2:04pm CST. Unless there's an algorithm in there that sees how many caps you've played and I'm in the "this prick has played enough points" bucket giving me shittier odds now.

Well, it's just a theory :lol: I'm just throwing ideas out there, but it's probably just dumb luck.

Yeah, I went 0/7 early this week and almost all of those were within the first couple minutes of the hour. Went 2/2 today at 7:50 am. I don't think it's basing it on time.

I don't want hardly any of those metal songs but I've been dying for some I MOTHER EARTH to hit rock band. Really hope that (or more tracks) hit DLC sometime in the future.

how's this for an IME three pack
Spoiler:







Errr - four pack. Damn, was that 16 years ago already. :( And to me IME is with Edwin, not Bryan. Fuck, than then raises the question, is Levitate with Edwin or Bryan? I hope Edwin.

Yes. Through September, I believe. The product bundles are $5, contain two Axe products and has a code which when texted in, will give you another code worth 300 points ($3.75). As far as smelling good, well that's subjective. I got a couple of the shower gel/ Axe Scrubber packs. That scrubber is pretty cool as far as "shower tools" go, and the blue one doesn't smell any worse than deodorant soap.

I agree! Pretender is my #1 Foo want.

Very pleased that Kaiser Chiefs are now in the RB world. Yet another steal from GH!

They can keep right on giving me FF. :up: I'll also grab most of the others. Good week.

It's okay but dammit, I want some more Hair Metal!

I picked up the new two disc remasters of Whitesnake's Slide It In and Def Leppard's Pyromania and it really makes me long for more 83 to 91 Hairspray Rock N Roll!

Give me some Def Leppard, Whitesnake, Kiss (during this time-line) Winger, Slaughter, Cinderella, Skid Row, Damn Yankees, E'nuff Z'nuff, Great White, Warrant, Bad English, etc.

Would they not sell? These would be a blast to play. Where the fuck are all these guys???

^ You know it has to be coming. Bang Camaro played Rocklahoma, for fuck's sake. All they did was hang out and network with this guys.

Or drink their asses off.

Probably both.

I got No Rain in GH:WT for free, but I'll drop $2 to have it in a game I actually play. :lol:Probably down for All My Life as well. I'm not familiar with the rest.

Mark me down for some 80's hair metal. They really need to get on that one.

You certainly out-fan me, though I'm excited to get this stuff. Still, where the hell is "Best of You"?

As a teen growing up in the 80s there are waaaaaaaaaay too few songs from this decade for me also.

I suspect that either the masters are gone or that rights are muddled.
