I gold starred another song, but I can't remember which one now....

 

Next Week:

Deep Purple - "Space Truckin'"

James Gang - "Funk #49"

Jethro Tull - "Hymn 43"

Snow Patrol - "Take Back the City"

$2 each

 

I'm particularly psyched about Hymn 43. Back in the GH days, when I played the plastic guitar, I really wanted Funk #49. I'm less excited about it as a drummer though.

 

Also, a Roy Orbison 6-pack has been confirmed to come out in a few weeks.

I did pick up DOA last week, and it's been a blast, I also grabbed some No doubt songs, I just got the RB2 kit, so now i have all of the RB2 controls/instruments. i won't get any country songs unless something really stands out.

 

So far I'm still in the top five for Young Man Blues, and I've gold starred on 9 songs (vocals- 'Call Me', Blondie was the crown acheivement for me) total. I give up on score duels, too many people drop out if they can't win, and it's annoying as hell, so I think I only rank 20...if that.

 

I think I need to start playing the drums, they are going to waste in my house.

f_poll_no.gif so, we got RB2 drums! :ohface::birf:

 

theyre really awesome. i know im late to the party here, but theyre quieter & sturdier, so cool. sen wants to keep the drumsticks from the old kit though, seems to like them better. hopefully we can manage cymbals sometime when theyre more available, but uh, anyone know a good deal on rock band 2?

Rumor are going around that Rock Band's site showed the Battle of the Bands songs scheduled for the next few weeks, including songs that had not been announced, and was quickly pulled. While I haven't seen a screen grab, several site are saying these are the songs:

 

01/06 Rumored Roy Orbison DLC tracks:

 

Claudette

In Dreams

Mean Woman Blues

Oh, Pretty Woman

Ooby Dooby

You Got It

 

01/13 Rumored Lenny Kravitz tracks:

 

Are You Gonna Go My Way

Freedom Train

Let Love Rule

Mr. Cab Driver

 

01/20 Rumored Steve Miller Band tracks:

 

Space Cowboy

The Joker

 

If true, we've got some cool DLC this month.

OK, so there the rumors I posted weeks ago of Kravitz and Miller songs were true, as well as various other songs. The week following that was a second Grateful Dead pack, then last week was a Thin Lizzy pack, along with Benatars's Hit Me With Your Best Shot and a Pretenders' song called Precious, which I love, but was not a hit, so will not be nearly as fun for parties as Benatar.

 

Anyway, they announced that Pearl Jam's debut album Ten would be coming in March, but I just found out that if you pre-order the Deluxe Reissue of Ten at Best Buy, you get a code to get three Pearl Jam songs, live versions of Alive, State of Love & Trust, and the song Brother. I might just take advantage of this.

man, this week GHWT got CCR and black betty, RB needs to step its content up these days.

And ZZ Top. GH now has two CCR songs, Commotion and Up Around The Bend, which I like, but RB still has Fortunate Son. So many CCR songs that would be so great for this game (can you say Travelin Band?). I am really jealous of Black Betty though. I'm also jealous of GH getting Jet by the Wings and Born To Run by Springsteen. Still, the Boys Are Back In Town and Hit Me With Your Best Shot are going to be two party favorites. Friday is when HMX makes their announcement for next week's DLC.

According to Axl, anyway. He initially said February. His word just means it's coming, not when. What is confirmed is Pearl Jam's Ten for March.

 

Springsteen is promoting his new album now, and Steven Van Zandt is a consultant for Harmonix, so I just don't see how the Boss wouldn't make his way over to Rock Band.

Well, next week we are again getting only 3 songs, like last week, which used to be the norm, but now seems like very little. Anyway, the 3 songs are

 

Turbonegro – Wasted Again

White Zombie – More Human Than Human

White Zombie – Black Sunshine

 

I loved White Zombie's Astro-Creep 2000 album back in my younger days, so I might pick up both, but the one I will definitely get is More Human Than Human. If you think you are not familiar with this song, you are mistaken. It is a staple of action movie trailers. I've wanted this song since GH1. Take a listen:

 

More Human Than Human

 

 

I wonder how they've charted the guitar with all the slides there are.

 

Black Sunshine

 

 

Wasted Again

Next week:

 

Average White Band- “Pick Up the Pieces”

Earth Wind & Fire- “Shining Star”

James Brown- “Get Up (I Feel Like Being a) Sex Machine - Pt 1”

Against Me!- “Thrash Unreal”

The New Pornographers- “All the Things That Go to Make Heaven and Earth”

The New Pornographers- “Use It”

Papa Roach- “Last Resort”

Papa Roach- “Lifeline”

 

The first three are a funk pack, and I will get it without hesitation. I don't care for EW&F, but Shining Star is a good song, and James Brown is just awesome, especially this song.

So last week was the album Ten by Pearl Jam, with a surprise bonus track in the album, Master/Slave. This week has a song I've wanted since Guitar Hero 1 (Heartbreaker by Pat Benatar) and a song Joel has repeatedly called necessary (Don't Stop Believing by Journey). The Journey song has plenty for the singer to have fun with, and it will surely be at least as fun at parties as More Than A Feeling, but the other players, but I suppose that's just in the beginning of the song, and it's more important that the song be fun than for it take have notes flying at you every second of the song.

 

Journey - Don't Stop Believing

Pat Benatar - Heartbreaker

Glasvegas - Geraldine

Von Bondies - C'mon C'mon

SpongeBob SquarePants - I Can't Keep My Eyes Off of You

SpongeBob SquarePants - The Best Day Ever

SpongeBob SquarePants - Where's Gary?

 

It seems to me that Spongebob should only have any appeal to people with a single digit age or whom are high all the time. For those of you, the Spongebob tracks are only $1 a piece.
