To whomever is responsible: my plight on travesty that you bring upon video games, please stop what your doing!
My words may not convince you but I hope that your heart (or what's left of it) will be filled with regret by seeing this picture. #bandhero

I didn't really need to read beyond there, but thanks for the heads-up regardless. #bandhero

And it's completely understandable why it was cut, but dammit, I want the full "Did you hear? He fucked her!" in "Dammit." It sorta throws me off when it cuts out for that moment.

Band Hero Lyric: "Oh don't mind me I'm watching you two from the closet, wishing to be the friction" "
Uh, this edit makes no sense. Taking out the "in your jeans" part does nothing to prevent the message of the lyric to be passed on. #bandhero

"One last eighty proof, slouching in the corner booth."

instead you have severally altered tracks that seriously bump you during the playing/singing/listening.
I can understand the family aspect of this title, which is why they shouldn't have included tracks that aren't E-for everyone.
simple solution to a simple problem.
retarded solution to a simple problem.
Oh Activition, you make us laugh.
its too bad, because "A Million Ways" is a cool song.
i wish OK GO would add an album to Rock Band because all their songs are pretty fun and have great guitar and drum tracks. #bandhero

The problem is, I'm not sure how well it'd sell when their biggest hit is already available in the game. A lot of the "deep cuts" or more obscure bands that are released as DLC don't tend to sell very well. #bandhero

Actually, every once in a while I remember about OK Go, put on my CDs, and remember how much I like them. I keep thinking I'd hate it now, like other bands I used to love (a few years can make a big difference when it comes to Green Day) but really, it holds up. Personally I'd love No Sign Of Life in Rock Band, esp supported by the Beatles RB harmonies. #bandhero

@Manuel Calavera, Reaper Supreme: Same here. I learned I liked the band by accident - they did a free concert before a football game I went to three years ago. I had no idea they were there and no interest, but I listened anyway...and bought their albums from Amazon the next day. #bandhero

Man the video for DWYW gives me a headache. #bandhero

"I never smoke smmhmm... ...known to give a brother brain damage!"
"Some say no to drugs and take a stand, but after the show they go lookin' for the smmEXPRESS YOURSELF!"
Who bowdlerizes an anti-drug message? #bandhero

Notch on your bedpost of course being a reference to a one-night stand.
Not family friendly.
"Jeans are also bad."
Friction in your jeans of course referencing intercourse.
This is why LEGO Rock Band is the superior title. The edits are no different than they are in the Rock Band proper, but the song selection is very well tailored to a family audience.
Good to know this game is a pass. #bandhero

Intercourse would be "friction in your vagina, occurring in the absence of jeans" or something more along those lines. #bandhero

Frottage, more commonly known as dry humping, is the act of achieving sexual pleasure with a partner or partners, whether naked or clothed, without penetration. This can include using almost every part of the body, including the buttocks, the breasts, abdomen, thighs, feet, hands, legs, and sexual organs. Frottage can include mutual genital rubbing, sometimes called genito-genital or GG rubbing and most of the other forms of non-penetrative sex.
There are many reasons a couple may choose frottage. The most common reasons are as a form of foreplay before intercourse or as a method to achieve sexual gratification without the more sexually explicit (and in some circumstances, forbidden) oral, vaginal or anal sexual intercourse. Often young people will use frottage as an earlier stage of sexual intimacy before more explicit contact is desired, or as a substitute to intercourse to maintain a higher degree of chastity. Also, frottage can be done without getting undressed. Panties, bras, pantyhose, socks, or stockings can aid in sexual arousal and stimulation.
Lap dances often involve clothed frottage. A modern dancing style which involves partners rubbing their clothed bodies on one another is called "grinding," "freaking," or "Sandwich dancing" and is known in the Spanish speaking territories as "perrear" ("dogging"). This term came from Puerto Rico and later became the famous dance for reggaeton.
The term frottage derives from the French verb frotter, "to rub." #bandhero

Even with Lego Rock Band, I heard a song at E3 which had a line about "you are my drug" or something similar. It makes me wonder why even INCLUDE these songs to begin with? You are cutting a single phrase that temporarily guarantees that kids aren't saying something bad, but that doesn't change the content of the song or the underlying theme itself. #bandhero

Haha, yeah. That was probably the most sensual music performance I've ever seen. #bandhero

However, It does sucks that they don't mention the songs were edited, seems like false advertising. #bandhero

I mean, why would someone buy a game with butchered versions of their favorite songs!
Logic, man, logic! #bandhero
