You relate American Idol to playing Rock Band?!? Omg.... I don't even have the solid argument I need for that.

I'll shat if it ever happens, but gosh do I wish it would. I would love to see some Our Lady Peace on RockBand.

OLP. Rise Against. Breaking Benjamin. That's my top 3 wishes for the game!

If ya know what I mean.

You're actually right about this. :lol: Yeah, some respectable people DO play, but, and I'm sure I'm getting annoying bring up Weezer all the time now, but the majority of fans they got from Rock Band are annoying... I can't imagine OLP being any different!

That said, the exposure for the band would be wonderful for them, and I hope they get it. It's just gonna be way annoying for us. :lol:

Well it might be a little annoying for the older Weezer fans to see fans come outta nowhere because of Rockband because the game only features one song. (Say It Aint So) Scratch that. A downloadable song pack was later added. But by default on the disc there is only the one song.

And the song is one of the better tuned (note wise) songs in the game. Not to mention its a generally easy song to sing if you know the words.

Now if anybody went from that one song. And purchased other singles. Or albums. Or attended a live show. Then the point (from the band's perspective) of putting the music on the game is complete.

Increased revenue in a shitty economy. +!!!

Yeah, pretty much. I think I said that at the end of my post, Neil!!! :lol:

Really, though. They think it's cool to sing the song at the top of their lungs like they're playing the game. And they do it right in your ear. And ruin your bootleg. *ahem* I mean. I'm not speaking about any specific event!!! :nikki: :P

You know, if for some reason Starseed made it onto Rockband, it'll probably be bitchingly hard on the advanced modes.

One day in my extreme boredom, I found a youtube video of a guy playing Supersatellite on Guitar Hero. It was CRAZY.

I have it favorited XD.

There's also one of Whatever for "Frets on Fire" or something like that (it's pretty much the same thing as Guitar Hero and all that).

I'm a pretty horrible Guitar Hero player. When I first started, I played it like a keyboard. :)

NOW I have Rock Band. Happy birthday me (and for my brother and sister, too. A three-way gift that was given on my "special day.")

It's fun!

Yeah if you know how to do the modding you can play any freaking song you want on Guitar Hero. I'd never consider looking in to it and void'ing any warranty on my 360 just for that though...

I saw somebody playing "Diary of Jane" by Breaking Benjamin on Expert and it was awesome.
