Yes...More metal...Or at least some hard rock. Most of this stuff recently seems closer to pop music to me. Good for all of you like like this more simplistic radio friendly stuff, but I am anxiously awaiting more complex and challenging songs. I'd love to see a full concept album released. Something like Dream Theater's "Scenes From a Memory", Shadow Gallery's "Tyranny", "Operation: Mindcrime" by Queensryche, or most of all "The Crimson Idol" by W.A.S.P. Playing one of those in its entirety one song after the other would be a dream come true.

Didn't know that was the name of the Clash song so I will be getting that.
Kool Thing, don't really mind it, but I am only going to double dip on songs from GH if I really like them. Kool Thing doesn't qualify.
Hate to be the RB DLC whiner, but I am going to...of all the Blondie songs, they go with that. Really, really weak.

I probably won't end up getting any of them. I don't mind Kool Thing, but GHIII is enough for that song.
I can't believe they've released two Blondie songs, and neither was One Way or Another

I'd have to think some kind of Dream Theater is inevitable for RB or GH.
I could imagine "Pull Me Under", "Metropolis - Part 1" and "Lie" (probably the single edit) being the kind of stuff that would be used first. Possibly something off the new record since Roadrunner has been much more active about promoting the band through various avenues. Hell DT did some kind of XBL video premiere thing last year I think so they are obviously aware of the gaming community.
Now give me some Opeth, Porcupine Tree or even Rammstein and I'd be in heaven. Rammstein would be hilarious for vocals. Instant German lesson!

I think for any Dream Theater, they'd have to tackle the early catalog... back before every song was 10+ minutes long. You are right about Road Runner though, they have been a godsend for the band and I can see them pursuing EA/Harmonix to make it happen.
The Offspring have a new album coming out in June. I'd love to see a promo tune for them. I listened to a couple of albums earlier and they have some killer songs that would be great in Rock Band.

Yes. Goddammit. Dream Theater.
They should go balls out and release "A Change of Seasons." Drummers will be losing limbs left and right.
Speaking of fatigue, I FINALLY beat GG&HT yesterday by ignoring the kick drum throughout the entire fast part. I found out I could consistently hit all the red/yellow and it was only when I screwed up the kick drum timing that I failed. All I had to do was make sure I hit the energy sequences and overdrive. No problem. I say this now, but I failed that bastard twenty times probably before conquering.

I listened to the preview of that Blondie song and I still can't remember a single thing about it.
Totally generic and nondescript....strange choice IMO when they have so many great songs.

I like music that takes time to sink in and where you're discovering incredible new things every time you hear the song. I think stuff like that would translate very well into Rock Band and offer some good challenges. Of course that is just me. Like I said, I am happy for you guys who really dig this stuff...You are definitely in the majority over people with limited and specific tastes like mine. I wish I could get into more styles of music, but I just can't stand most of it.

The promotion itself is exclusive to the Xbox 360, however, the Disturbed tracks will be publicly available for both platforms simultaneously, even if you do not opt into this special.

Got to say I am with the other opinions on the Blondie song. All their songs and this is the one they come up with? Strange.
I will definitely get The Clash song. Didn't realize I knew it until I Youtubed it.
The Sonic Youth song on GHIII is enough for me. Never been a fan.
I only buy te stuff I really want that they release. I figure sales/download amounts are the best barometer for them to decide what they will release next. It just doesn't seem to be working for me so far.

Good stuff but Magna Carta (label) are morons and would probably want too much money.

DVD Talk Godfather & 2020 TOTY Winner
Just saw that Train In Vain will be added next week. One of my all-time favorite songs. I'll certainly spring for that one even though I think it's less than 2 minutes long. I just have to buy it, though I can't imagine getting too big a score on a song that's over that quicky

Looks like those South Park songs may not be happening.
http://www.tvshowsondvd.com/news/Sou...orrection/9576
It may still be coming and the information got out too early, and now they're backpedaling. Who knows? I know rumors can get started on the net very easily, but this one just seems too odd to be a rumor.
http://www.tvshowsondvd.com/news/Sou...orrection/9576
A few days ago we reported about info that Paramount Home Entertainment had passed to retailers about the upcoming August 12th release of South Park - Season 11 on DVD. In our report, we quoted studio-provided material informing sellers that this set would contain the following bonus item: "While supplies last, every DVD will include a 3-song download pack for the MTV Games sensation ROCK BAND!"
That sounded pretty cool, and we know that our story was picked up all over the internet by happy fans. However, we have to let you down on that score. Late yesterday a studio spokesperson contacted us with bad news: this won't be happening after all. When we questioned further about the cause of this, we were told that the information we received from retailers was incorrect.
There will be other bonus material on this release, though, and Paramount promises to get us the details on that just as soon as they have them available. Stay tuned and we'll update you!

I wouldn't mind having some (ugh I hate this term) Rock en Español: Café Tacuba, Maná, Control Machete, etc.
Or Manu Chao.
Or Brazilian stuff. I'd love to try and play Jorge Ben's "Ponta de Lança Africano"
And hey, since he's in GTA4, why not have some Fela Kuti?
