This annoyed me in "This Ain't A Scene, It's An Arms Race" in the first Rock Band. I mostly wouldn't have given it second thought except for the fact that "El Scorcho" wasn't censored in the same way. Both songs were DLC, but "El Scorcho" gets away with starting the song with "God damn these half-Japanese girls," while "This Ain't A Scene, It's An Arms Race" lost the "God damn" from its chorus. I guess in Rock Band, it's ok to say "god damn" once, but not forty times.
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.
@chekeichan: I guess that'd kinda make a little sense, although in that case, they should have updated El Scorcho to remove it (If they can). Regardless, the FOB song at least needed some alternate words in there. Just going silent for two words in the (extremely heavily repeated) chorus is just really screwy. #bandhero
"Original Lyric: "Oh don't mind me I'm watching you two from the closet, wishing to be the friction in your jeans"
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
@RockyRan: at least the didn't edit things in "Oh don't mind me I'm watching you two from the closet, wishing to be the courteous gentleman you deserve" " #bandhero
@(Zombie) Jölan: I would have preferred that edit. Atleast it's humorous :].
"One last eighty proof, slouching in the corner booth."

why include these songs in a family friendly game in the first place? I would have gone for complete master tracks un-fucked-with if i was a producer for this product.
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
@Noodle-Works: I'd love an OK Go track pack, and it isn't entirely out of the realm of possibility - remember, "Here It Goes Again" was in the first game.
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
@spiderweb1986: They could probably put out Do What You Want or Invincible, those were singles and had moderate success.
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
@ComplicitOwl: That would be fantastic. Let's hope it happens. :D
@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
@spiderweb1986: I heard Do What You Want in a JC Penny ad, I think, and it got stuck in my head. Then I saw the treadmill video (I think it was when it came out, actually), then I got the albums.
Man the video for DWYW gives me a headache. #bandhero
@Noodle-Works: Coming early 2010: Band Hero 2: Featuring The Outhere Brothers - I Wanna Fuck You In The Ass, Dr. Dre - Bitches Ain't Shit, and NWA - Fuck Tha Police. Family friendly, of course. #bandhero
@NinjaMarion: Speaking of NWA being censored, though a different developer, I remember playing a THPS game, and it featured Express Yourself. FOR NO REASON they drop the single word references to drugs, even though they're saying the equivalent of crack is whack.
"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!"
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.
@TRT-X: Um, I think friction in your jeans is at best a reference to genital stimulation, or perhaps masturbation, since the whole mechanic of intercourse while wearing jeans is something of a non-starter.
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
MTV always had stronger guidelines for editing than the radio (back when I listened to both circa 94-98) and I was often surprised to find out phrases were bad. Often I heard the song on the radio and paid no attention to certain phrases or lines, but after hearing the MTV version I was more interested in finding out what the line was, then either learning a new swear or derogatory term in the process.
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
If the songs need editing to make them family friendly then maybe they shouldnt be selecting them. At the very least they should include a tag on the box stating the songs are edited for content. #bandhero
