I keep telling my friends "Hot For Teacher NEEDS to be in this game", I can only hope, hell even a Van Halen pack! I do like the suggestions for BB King and Mastadon as well.

The thrill is gone? I don't mind some blues, but could it really be said that The Thrill is Gone rocks? Maybe some blues that's a little closer to rock, later Muddy Waters stuff perhaps.

Clutch for sure, also how about some breaking benjamin (polyamerous?), godsmack, megadeth and so on.

A lot of those songs could very easily show up, looking at you Blaze of Glory by Bon Jovi. I just wish they would do full albums already and maybe there would be a one in a billion chance to get At The Drive In's "Relationship Command" album. It rocks front to back :P

Bob Seger. Come on people, give us some classic rock. Not everybody likes metal or this new crap these games are filled with.

Kyuss please. D:

Uh, I think you forgot to include the Pixies there. A lot of their songs would be really fun to play.

Wow, with the exception of Queen, most of those go unrecognized by me (I might remember a few by playing the videos, though).

I'd love to hear some AKG, Idlewild, or Juliana Theory, but phat chance on those.

ITS THE FINAL COUNTDOWN!!!!

methinks some AC/DC should be thrown in there for good measure. "You Shook Me All Night Long" would be epic

Interesting article. Interesting picture. Now if only Guitar Hero III could have some more/better download content. Yeah...that sounds like a plan!

I said months ago that Refused needed to be in one of these games. However, I feel that Summerholiday vs. Punk Routine would be better. Anyway, where's Freebird? I mean, come on, who wouldn't want to play Freebird? :-p

I am completely appalled that only ONE Van Halen song has ever appeared in GH / Rock Band, and it happens to be a cover of another band (Which is actually a cover of a cover, due to GH I and II's "as made famous by" ordeal). Hot for Teacher, Panama, Runnin' with the Devil, Beautiful Girls...come on, you've got a wide enough selection! Just pick one of them.

Also, I think there are better choices for Queen to be put in: Stone Cold Crazy's got all the instruments covered, for example. And where's the Brighton Rock love? It's guitar heavy, yes, but its ability to rock hard more than necessitates its inclusion!

Meh, I want to see some Mars Volta, White Stripes, and more Radiohead.

I'd go for Sleeping Giant or Crystal Skull for the Mastodon song, personally. I still wish one of these games would get a Testament song.

I mean, they're not a particularly great band, but really catchy and easy to sing along to

Choices chock full of....*eh*, with the exception of BB King. I, for one, am glad for the variety that's been put into Rock Band thus far and that it hasn't become a schlock fest of metal.

If I had a song wish, it'd be Veruca Salt's "Seether".

Honestly. Where's the freakin tool love? Hard vocals. Killer drumming. Nice shredding in some of the songs. How can there STILL not be any tool in rock band.

I kinda think Cake should be represented because they've got cool parts for all four players in every song.

How about some Rage Against the Machine?

311.........please?

I love Slayer and Mastodon, but I demand some Propain and Amon Amarth! :D Let's talk about some Lamb of God now! Now, in reality, I couldn't play any of those songs, but I'd like to pretend I could... *closes and eyes and has daydreams about playing a fake guitar better than he can his real one*

What about Black Flag?

its too bad im a musical elitist becuse you had some really good choices and some really bad ones.

The Bronx>Everyone.

The producers said time and time again, that tons of songs are on list, and tons of bands are signed up and to be signed up. The time that takes is setting it all up with each separate track per instrument in game.

I am sure they know of these and have them planned. All the suggestions to them are nothing new.

For the record, I wish we can get them faster too, but then again we would get poorer faster as well.

@Muisee: How would the White Stripes work with Rock Band, considering there are two people in the band?

I think Refused's "New Noise" is nearly perfect for Rock Band. Oh, and we could all use more Mastodon and The Bronx.

It's going to sound a little gay, but I think what Rock Band really could use is a lot more female-singer songs. It's much easier with all my friends to get a girl to the mic, and a hell of a lot more pleasant to the ears to boot, and there's just not a whole lot there for them.

YES

I'm dying for November Rain just for the last 2 minutes of that friggin long song.

refused!!! woot!

Hot For Teacher! I was JUST saying this.

It may sound cheesy, but I really want Living on a Prayer by Bon Jovi. Not because I'm some big Bon Jovi fan or even think the song is amazing, just singing that chorus, whilst slaphappy with friends, is really, really fun.

"Whoooooooah we're halfway theere, WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAH, LIIIIIIIIIVIN ON A PRAAAAYER"

definitely Thumb by Kyuss

What about The Buckethead? Who doesn't enjoy good metal/rock/blues/hip-hop?

@Stormrider:

Hmm wasn't thinking, GH3 for some Stripes I guess.

Your Van Halen and Judas Priest selections are good. The rest, eh, not so much...

@KevinSetzer:

Excelent idea...there's a wealth of material...from the 40s all the way to now you could include if there were more female artists....lots of pop and lots of rock that would be very fresh in the games.

Clutch... oh hell yes.

Only 1 Judas Priest song would be a crime.

MY MORNING JACKET
MY MORNING JACKET
MY MORNING JACKET

- "one big holiday"

anyone who says that song doesn't rock needs to leave....earth

I need me some Led Zeppelin.

"Achilles Last Stand" would be so awesome to play on drums.

Someone please listen to it and tell me how awesome it is.

@Mit: Not cheesy in the slightest. Had I not opted for BLaze of Glory, and were Dead or Alive not already on there, I'd have definitely opted for Livin on a Prayer.

uh... Beatles plz?

@Segnosaur: I think they're saving that for Keytar Hero.

I thought that looked like the guy from Clutch.

I'd rather have "Open Up The Border" or "Careful With That Mic", but something by Clutch would be cool.

Also, I saw Pixies mentioned. "Where Is My Mind" is the only correct response.

Mastodon, Clutch, and Refused = Instant Win

Maybe The Mob Goes Wild by Clutch would be better.

I might actually buy the game if they could get some awesome Pink Floyd songs on there.

Clutch :/
saw them live they were alright... but you caught my attention at Warzone - Slayer.

you forgot TOOL. Any song by them would make me a happy panda.

Needs more Dragonforce.

Horray for getting a response from Luke Plunkett :D Guilty pleasure Jon Bon Jovi songs all around.

Also, this post slows down my Firefox to a crawl, and refuses to allow me to switch tabs whilst this one is selected >.>

Icky Thump!

WOAH wait about slayer... not gonna happen, it has something to do with the drums. Although one that might be good for rock band is "Stain of Mind"

@Raynre:

Have to say I want DragonForce as well, if only for the ability to sing those cheesy, high pitched lyrics. I care about that more than the drums or guitar or anything.

@NessD12: Absolutely. I want to play the drum intro to Ticks & Leeches.

Yes, let's put War Zone on there.

Because none of us liked our legs anyway.

@el goose: I'm thinking it'd be the Dragonforce/cowboys from hell of any future updates :)

What about fucking Ministry?! Just One Fix. I would like that.
