Had nothing to do with recent albums. I listen to a ton of glam rock bands and thought they were just another 80's band during that era. I already was following a bunch of bands and had no idea what their older music was like. I was completely in the dark about them and then that changed a few years back when I got a hold of a couple of their records on a whim. Now sure the recent album is crap, but their older stuff is awesome beyond belief.

Ok, here are my terrible guesses:

Joy Division - Love Will Tear Us Apart
Depeche Mode - People are People
Pixies - Alec Eiffel

I wonder if RB3 is when we'll finally get Nirvana songs from In Utero. Especially since there's been a Nirvana song in every game so far.

Oh okay. So it was just a matter of not really getting into to them until recently?

Big difference in wording as most think they have gone to shit since Promised Land. I don't subscribe to that, but they are definitely not the same band that put out Mindcrime, Empire & Promised Land, that's for sure.

Don't forget Warning :D. But you are right, I just didn't pick them up until the last few years. It's sad that their recent efforts haven't lived up to the quality of those classic albums. But then again, each of us could probably rattle off twenty bands that are in the same boat.

I just noticed that Amazon has RB3 preorders up now.

They list a release date of Oct. 31, which is a Sunday. Any chance that's a real release date or is it just a placeholder?

OMG! Epic fail! Fuck Rock Band and Harmonix. I'm done with this shit.

It's called ROCK Band - not SHITTY Band or TALENTLESS Band or SHOULD-HAVE-BEEN-ABORTED Band.

Hey, don't be so hasty!

Oh wait, I missed the previous post. Nickelback? WTF! And a six-pack?!?

LOL, as much fun as it is to hate on Nickelback, I'll be buying those.

Edit: Maybe only two of them (Photograph and Rock Star). I don't think I know the other four.

Alternative:


We at RockGamer are honored and thrilled to bring Amberian Dawn’s entire existing catalog to the Rock Band Network. The Finnish group’s combination of highly technical, challenging metal instruments and Heidi Parviainen’s enthralling opera-style vocals are a perfect fit for the Rock Band platform. Judging by the sales of “River of Tuoni,” “He Sleeps in a Grove” and “Valkyries” in the RBN store, many of you out there seem to agree.

I like Figured You Out and Rockstar...*RUNS*

But seriously, it was going to happen. If Miley Cryus, Lady Gaga etc happened, Nickelback is a logical step whether you like it or not. Honestly surprised it hadn't happened sooner.

At least they had the decency to relegate Creed to RBN. Thank god it's a 6-pack too and not a weird 5-pack like Miley's so they could put Party in the USA on the RB3 disc. I really, really hate Nickelback.

"Burn It to the Ground" is the current Monday Night Raw theme. Wrestling nerds rejoice!

I'm a wrestling nerd and I don't care for that song very much (despite liking a little bit of Nickelback). Uh oh, I can hear it in my head right now, darn you!

First Creed.. now Nickelback. What next? The Bee Gees?

I've said it before with the addition of artists to the RB platform that I didn't like...but any moves Harmonix can make to increase the user base and the variety of music within the game is a good thing. Even if it is Nickelback.

I do have to say that I would have loved to be a fly on the wall when the Harmonix folks were talking to the NB people about getting their music in the game. Especially after all of the trash-talking about the band during The Beatles: RB development cycle. Was there some uncomfortable silence and mean looks or was it all about bygones and making some money?

I'll never get all the Nickelback hate. :lol: I couldn't remember more than 3-4 songs from them and name even less, but from what I've heard they are no more or less mediocre than any other shitcan rock band out there. Yet people fall all over themselves to praise Kings of Leon, and they sound like the same bunch of jackoffs as every other Nickelback, Creed, etc. out there.

Which Nickleback song is about the girl on her knees? I think that's the only one that doesn't bug me since it's pretty funny.
