Boy, if that's the last pack, I'd consider that a major disappointment for me. Sorry, fans of that band. Not at all my style.

As for the last song, no surprise there. It's an appropriate way to end DLC and this era of Rock Band.

Wait,
Spoiler:
Chevelle
is finally coming to Rock Band? Hell fuckin yeah! I'm happy.

I don't think I've ever heard of that band
Spoiler:
Chevelle
. Are they new?

If that's the final song, it's a very fitting finale. Was that song ever in a GH game? I kind of thought it was.

Spoiler:

It was in Band Hero, and they censored the word "whiskey" out of the chorus. Oddly enough, they kept "rye" in there. Guess they figured they were drinking whiskey and eating rye bread?

No, they've been around for awhile now and play a hell of a good show. Listening to their music, you would never guess that they were a 3 man band. They just came out with a greatest hits album, check it out some time if you like hard rock/metal.

Which did you think it was?

I heard from a pretty credible source that Semi-Sonic's "Closing Time" had already been charted. Of course, this wouldn't be the only time that a fully completed song never got released.

Nah, I think they just give you a blank disc.

I can't recall every listening to them, but according to the internet they have sold more records than The Ramones.

Re: The Official Rock Band Thread of Music Game Evolution
 
Don't understand the Chevelle hate in here. As far as modern rock bands go, they're easily one of the best. They're heavy enough, have a solid vocalist, lots of songs with hooks, not afraid to experiment, etc. What's not to like?

Yeah, but are they millionaires?

They bought a house in Ohio IIRC.

You sir, are lucky. You should try to keep it that way.

We wouldn't be in this mess if they would have started with the Chevelle DLC long ago.

Kelkee 03-15-13 06:56 AM

Re: The Official Rock Band Thread of Music Game Evolution
 
I had never heard of Chevelle either.

Chevelle is something they should have given over to RBN and focused more on shoring up the licensing for the Toto 3 pack. Which would have been all sorts of awesome.

That's the last of the Blitz tracks. I have nothing neither for nor against Chevelle. I can only name one song and I remember my wife picking up the cd when it was new. It does seem, on the surface, as a very boring way to end the DLC run.

That said, American Pie would be a fantastic final track. Then again, everything on our shared list would be a fantastic final track.
