I just hope they don't make this some regional and/or platform exclusive, like they did with Super Sprode(*) - I <3 Freezepop so it irks me that as a European PS3 user I'm not likely to get that song on Rock Band (if RB itself even makes it to these shores this decade).

(*) yes, and the two other tracks from the OXM covermount, but who cares about the other tracks when there's FREEZEPOP ^^

God, I HATE this fucking song I don't understand why people think it's so great. It's just a chain of lame jokes wrapped in a mediocre tune.

Seeing any news about Rock Band just fills my heart with sadness. My guitar's whammy bar broke on Wednesday. Playing just doesn't feel the same w/o the whammy. Fortunately, EA is still doing replacements on broken instruments. This will be my second guitar that has died on me. My first guitar had the strum problem.

Anyhow, I'm definitely looking forward to playing Still Alive. I'm curious if my band members will recognize the song. They all play consoles pretty exclusively, so I doubt they'll recognize the song.

Meanwhile, speaking as someone who's gold-starred about half the game by now on vocals... I am so looking forward to channeling GLaDOS, you have no idea.

(I'd love for some more JoCo songs to show up as DLC, but "Still Alive" is one of the few that falls into a decent spot in my range. He's usually either just a little too low for me, or jumping up an octave eventually gets into the Realm o' Squeak. Too bad there's no option to transpose stuff. :)

I need the tabs for Still Alive for my real drums. I can't find them anywhere :(

Maybe I could just wait until someone posts a vid of them playing it in Rockband. Anyone know if the notes they use for the drums in it are the real deal?

No it's True... I was at the Trial of the Government of Europe vs. Microsoft. See I'm Canadian so I was part of the Jury of peers; However, The Right Honourable Mayor Mc Cheese who was presiding over the hearings told me I mustn't speak of the trial... Crap I've said to much.
I hope MS doesn't come after me..

@Laxe: Funny about that but North America is so ego-centric that we actually don't learn world geography. Seriously, it is a joke. The Board of Education's motto is "success for every student" which turns into: "dumb it down so the stupid ones can't fail" in practice. We just learn the States (or provinces in Canada) over and over again each year. Y'know, some student might move to Texas from New York and miss the year they taught the states, so they just do it every year constantly. (rolls eyes) When you get into high school and college you maybe could take a specialized geography course, but it's an optional credit. So yeah, most 'Mericans prob'ly don't know fuck-all about European countries beyond England, not to be confused with that Yoo-K thingie. Awesome isn't it? They should seriously remake Where in the World is Carmen San Diego?, but jaded little brats these days would probably just complain that it wasn't like HALO3.

Why was your singer on medium? This isn't exactly "Run to the Hills".

I guess I'm just used to my band, where the drummer and singer(me >_>) are always hard+ and the guitarist and bassist(also sometimes me >_>) are always medium.

Anyway it's true. In what way did you think the 'EU Government' (rofl btw!) is sueing M$ hmmm? Christ...I do hope you were joking! When will you people learn that the EU is NOT a country and the UK isn't the only country in the EU??

You guys do get taught world geography right?

Mavwick — Fri, 22 Feb 2008 18:29:47 MST

I'm making a note here,
huge success

I'm a fan of both properties, but making the two collide in a mass of fan-love and cross-marketing still makes me want the track for free. I've already given that company probably 50 dollars of extra money in DLC, so throwing a bone now and then won't upset their moneymaking juggernaut.
(BTW, I don't actually tally the money I've tossed into Rock Band DLC. It's too fun to sully with budgeting.)
