Nope. This is the equivelant.

That is fair enough. Does anyone know how often they put some track packs on sale? There are a number I want to get, but can wait to get if there is a possibility they might be on sale one day.

Rarely. I'm really bummed that the CCR pack missed the summer 360 sale. I can wait.

orangecrush:
Sales are few and far between.

pinata:
I play way too often and love the game too much to hold off for months and months hoping for an eventual hypothetical sale.

:lol:

And then I mention how much we need Cake in the game as well. It is a well tread track... but damnit... it still needs said! Mental Jewelry is such a good album it would all be a blast to play.

The 90s are sorely underrepresented... broken record. But yeah, I'm with you guys. Where's Crash Test Dummies dammit! :lol:

They revealed their new album name and cover today(no release date yet), so I'm keeping hope alive for a RB tie-in.

I hadn't seen that yet... linky?

They apparently announced it on their facebook page. It's not even on their official site yet(or wasn't earlier today anyway).

That image gives me barely any information at all... and it still makes me freaking happy. :lol:

If anyone else became a fan of Bang Camaro thanks to this video game, you may be interested in this article

I got to see them once, had a ton of fun, and then had a few beers with the guys in the band. It was an epic night with my friends that all began because of this video game. :)

I think I might be the only person alive who hates Cake.

Re: The Official Rock Band Thread of Music Game Evolution
 
Coincidentally, on my little road trip today, I had "The Distance" come up on the iPod and I flashed back to all the talk about Cake in these threads, most notably when I said something like "I hate when artists get all artisty".

Also, Crash Test Dummies would be awesome. God Shuffled His Feet is such a good album (and song). We need some Soul Asylum too.

Come up to Toronto. 10 years ago or so Cake was on stage at a festival called Edgefest and so many people were booing and throwing plastic bottles towards the stage, that they called it quits after 2 and a half songs, leaving the stage and not coming back... making way for headliners NICKELBACK -rolleyes- A lot of Cake fans (myself included) were pissed. The Cake haters rejoiced.

I like Cake!

Wasn't there an explanation at some point as to why there wasn't any Cake in RB? Didn't RB want to use their biggest hit, and Cake is one of those bands that hates their hits?

Re: The Official Rock Band Thread of Music Game Evolution
 
I'm not much of a Cake fan, but I do love "Short Skirt, Long Jacket." I don't know if that's their biggest hit or not, probably not.

I think "Never There" was their biggest hits, with "The Distance" right behind it. I would also like "Friend is a Four Letter Word", "Frank Sinatra" and their cover of "I Will Survive".

Yes. Artists being artist-y.

Well, even I prefer Cake over Nickelback, although that's kind of like saying I'd rather live under Stalin than Hitler. ;)

I also saw Cake at a festival (I was there to see The Flaming Lips) and the entire time they played I fantasized about putting a drill to my skull.

I don't get The Flaming Lips AT ALL. They're from my hometown and everyone has a hard-on for them and are always trying to get me to go to a New Year's Eve show in downtown OKC and every year I listen to their recommendations and I pass. Then I hear how they raped "Dark Side of the Moon" and I get violent.

Toby Keith is also from my hometown so, yeah, stay away from the musical fuckface that is central Oklahoma.

Flaming Lips will still always be "She Don't Use Jelly" to me. Which is terrible. Unfair? Sure, but that's life.

Spoiler:
Unless it's of course this version.

Their last few albums (including Dark Side of the Moon) have not been good, but they were brilliant from 1993-2005. And they were pretty great from 1986-1992 as well. But that run of albums from Transmissions From The Satellite Heart through Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots is sheer musical bliss.
