Half_Idiot (August 18, 2010)

In terms of sheer fun they'll never top the Van Halen edition.

bastard_squad (August 18, 2010)

Did it come with a groupie controller that you had to fuck to the rhythm of the song?

beaarthur (August 18, 2010)

I was going to chide you for saying that, but that's because I thought it was all Hagar-era songs. Pleasantly mistaken!

Cheesetits (August 18, 2010)

Did you really have to list all 1 million, like we suddenly gave a shit more?

Half_Idiot (August 18, 2010)

The list is repeated twice, that's why it's so weirdly long. I was wonder what the hell sort of fun it would be to have a game with THAT many tunes in it before taking a second look.

coffee_kid (August 18, 2010)

For a half idiot, you're pretty smart.

mammoth (August 18, 2010)

...but the tits are made of cheese.

bastard_squad (August 18, 2010)

Time for an update Bill.

bastard_squad (August 18, 2010)

"Warriors of Rock":
Atreyu - "Ravenous"
Nickelback - "How You Remind Me"
R.E.M. - "Losing My Religion"
Styx - "Renegade"

Fucking gross.

Poor Buzzcocks, what the fuck did they do to deserve this?

froggerwithmylife (August 18, 2010)

They wanted money

bastard_squad (August 18, 2010)

They already used that song for the Toyota Commercial. They just don't fit at all.

inagreendase (brian) (August 18, 2010)

How dare you put R.E.M. in this.

paulsilence (August 18, 2010)

It shoulda been "Sugar Coated Sour," "Endless Endings," or "Highway Robbery."

Walden3 (August 18, 2010)

"43 % burnt" would be my choice.

paulsilence (August 18, 2010)

Yeah, good one. I second that.

rumski (August 18, 2010)

I would seize up trying to play Pennie. My plastic drum set would hate me for the beating.

shenaniganss (August 18, 2010)

+1. However, Setting Fire is a lot more accessible than "I smell that whoooooooooooooooooooooooooore".

istapledmyfoot (August 18, 2010)

for like three seconds i was really excited it might be the mullet burden, but not even close.

Half_Idiot (August 18, 2010)

Also for the the record Rush shares the title of "Worst Band of All Time" with Journey.

bastard_squad (August 18, 2010)

One of my saddest moments in music was when 'Second Coming' by The Dickies came out, a girl I liked at the time said 'who the fuck is this? They sound like Rush if they didn't know how to play'. I no longer liked said girl.

eazyd2 (August 18, 2010)

she at least got the 'didnt know how to play' part right

bastard_squad (August 18, 2010)

Get out of here.

ZachLeg (August 18, 2010)

zing!

tris (August 18, 2010)

There's a generation of rock critics that have kept them from being in Rolling Stone and from being a part of that conversation. They were on the other side of this divide that we're talking about, back when they were held in corners by Rush fans at parties, going "But you don't understand! But you don't understand!" And they really liked Elvis Costello or they really liked David Bowie or something that was a little more critically accepted. And now, it's kind of like we're all so old that - even if you hated Rush in the 80s and the 70s - now you gotta give it up for 'em. You just got to! Or else you're just being an old dickhead. - Matt Stone, South Park

paulsilence (August 18, 2010)

I'm not going to lie-- I'm a halfway fan of Rush. There's a lot that I really like, but there's also a lot that I really don't care for at all. But "Working Man" has one of my favorite bass lines of all time.

idrum2 (August 18, 2010)

For the record, I could give two craps about your opinion of Rush. Rush has stood the test of time, without support from mainstream promotion, "critical acclaim," or bowing to musical trends. The same three guys, all extremely proficient and admired for their musicianship, have been making music together since 74. They must be doing something right.

paulsilence (August 18, 2010)

There it is.

urzishra (August 26, 2010)

after watching the documentary about them, I have a newfound respect for them. They have always been one of my favorite bands because of the music they play. I really think "Signals" through "Hold Your Fire" have songs that are more politically motivated than a lot of "political" punk bands.

coffee_kid (August 18, 2010)

Well I, for one, am excited to go over to someone's apartment who's stupid enough to buy this and play the shit out of the Spiderman theme.

bastard_squad (August 18, 2010)

Of all The Ramones songs they could pick for the 'Warriors of Rock' edition, they picked a cartoon theme song. Forgot My Lunch.

coffee_kid (August 18, 2010)

Haha, I'm more interested in it being the Spiderman theme than it being by the Ramones. I've given up on expecting good songs from punk bands of the '70s. I'm still waiting for a Clash song that would actually be fun to play. Well, besides "Safe European Home".

JayTee (August 18, 2010)

Spider-Man has a hyphen in it. Maw fucka.

coffee_kid (August 18, 2010)

Hyphens are lame.

JayTee (August 18, 2010)

Underscores are lamer. Jerkface.

coffee_kid (August 19, 2010)

Spelling out letters is lame.

IamtheAvatar (August 18, 2010)

I used to cringe every time I saw one of my favorite bands on here, but I don't know if it matters anymore. Curious, does anyone buy these things anymore? I don't think I've seen any of my friends playing these games since high school.

bastard_squad (August 18, 2010)

I don't think they would keep cranking them out if kids weren't buying them.

eazyd2 (August 18, 2010)

i do :) good fun!

IamtheAvatar (August 18, 2010)

Right. I should have mentioned that my brothers and sisters break out the beatles rockband/guitarhero/whatever pretty regularly whenever I'm home. I realize that the games are still a christmas present mainstay and remain popular with junior high kids. But while I still see some of my friends (early 20s and around) break out FIFA or Modern Warfare I rarely see guitar hero anymore. I don't know, I haven't been into video games since N64 so I'm probably just not that informed.

bastard_squad (August 18, 2010)

I'm in my mid-30's. I don't know goddamn anything except that they still apparently sell a shit-ton of these things.

BluthCo (August 18, 2010)

These games do well enough among their contingent of big fans to keep getting made, but the time where everyone was playing Guitar Hero and Rock Band has passed. That's generally the case for the whole rhythm game genre.

ZachLeg (August 18, 2010)

I'd be so stoked if the Decline made its way on to one of these. The fact that the Slayer song isn't Raining Blood is awesome.

paulsilence (August 18, 2010)

...only because it's already appeared on a GH title. It was the first Slayer song used.

ZachLeg (August 18, 2010)

yeah i know. that was the last GH I used. They already used Sharp Dressed Man. I don't know why they'd put it on there again. Chemical Warfare is a sweet Slayer song.

longlivekeithmorris (August 18, 2010)

Of all the awesome Bad Brains songs they choose Re-Ignition? WTF?!? Who chooses the songs for this crap?

bastard_squad (August 18, 2010)

Judging by the list of songs? A couple of 7th graders and their one cool High School friend that's kind of slow.

ZachLeg (August 18, 2010)

I would have loved something off of Rock for Light. The breakdown on Banned in DC would have made this worth buying.

Cuddly_Cameron (August 18, 2010)

Banned in DC definitely would've been the best Bad Brains song to be on there, I think almost everyone agrees on that. Re ignitions still one of their better songs- but does that make this game worth buying? Not at all.

ZachLeg (August 18, 2010)

I would love an 80's hardcore punk version of this game. I would definitely buy it.

tris (August 18, 2010)

ZachLeg (August 18, 2010)

link doesn't work for me. maybe it'll work on my house computer

froggerwithmylife (August 18, 2010)

..........Rx Bandits are on it.....

eazyd2 (August 18, 2010)

yay!! 2 of my fav things coming together!

mill83 (August 18, 2010)

Anyone who dont NOT like these games is a boring adult with a fat girlfriend.

longlivekeithmorris (August 18, 2010)

Sorry, but I spend my time playing in a real band with real instruments at real venues playing real songs I wrote drinking real beer and fucking real girls.

A far cry from your imaginary life.

coffee_kid (August 18, 2010)

Don't worry, everyone. It's under control. Captain Killjoy is here.

ZachLeg (August 18, 2010)

What's up, Buzzkill McDowner?

bastard_squad (August 18, 2010)

Come on dude, it's a video game. I don't play these games but to say that somebody should pick up a real game is akin to saying that instead of playing Double Dragon or Tekken they should really go out and street fight people. It's just a game.

eazyd2 (August 18, 2010)

Sorry, but I spend my time fighting in a real gang with real steel pipes at real factories throwing real knives I sharpened eating real burgers and rescuing real girls.

bastard_squad (August 18, 2010)

I wish this were true buddy.

mill83 (August 18, 2010)

By far your best comment ever, even if you do like MxPx.

Carlo_Cabinetti (August 18, 2010)

Epic comeback skills. 10/10

mill83 (August 18, 2010)

Not only did you not get the meme, you failed to recognize the double negative, imply that people that like this game are boring adults with fat girlfriends. Minus 4,125 .org-points for you.

IamtheAvatar (August 18, 2010)

This kid's the man. Call Broski and make a date.

Broski (August 18, 2010)

no homo lol

boring_adult_with_a_fatGF (August 18, 2010)

My fat girlfriend will show you how fucking real she is anyday.

anarchypants (August 18, 2010)

LongliveKeithMorris' comment was great but I think Eazy wins the best comeback ever award.

longlivekeithmorris (August 18, 2010)

Agreed!

boring_adult_with_a_fatGF (August 18, 2010)

I like you, but leave me out of this. Videogames are interesting.

mill83 (August 18, 2010)

YES! There he is! Personification of my favorite meme!

ZachLeg (August 18, 2010)

Off all the Ramones songs, they had to pick the Spiderman Theme Song

88fingerstonytherevenge (August 18, 2010)

All things considered, thats a relatively deep Sabbath cut though.

Just sayin

someone-yeah (August 18, 2010)

Strung Out - "Calling"

Really? You couldn't get Matchbook, Too Close To See or even Monster or something?

>:(

incomplicit (August 18, 2010)

Dude, I've never played Guitar Hero or Rock Band, but Calling seems like a way better fit than the older stuff. High flying solos makes for more video game fun than traditional punk songs (however difficult I am sure Matchbook is to play).

I love Strung Out as well, and think they have progressively gotten better over time, so that may taint my opinion.

someone-yeah (August 18, 2010)

Fair enough, i'd like some stuff off the new album or EIO like Vanity or Blueprint of the fall to be in there.

Just thought Calling was a sorta weird B-sidey kinda song to choose is all.

someone-yeah (August 18, 2010)

Haha oops, I meant Heart Attack, not Vanity. tee hee

hashbrowns (August 18, 2010)

though it's not my favorite on the record, nation of thieves would have played well on a guitar hero game i think.

deadxlast (August 18, 2010)

Finally a Strung Out song! Good choice too, especially with that acoustic intro. Now they still need A Wilhelm Scream, Belvedere, Lagwagon, and... actually, never mind, I still wouldn't play it.

Broski (August 18, 2010)

love these games at keggers lol, strung out and the vines decc bands and nickelback and rise against arent the same band? wtf?!!!?!

88fingerstonytherevenge (August 18, 2010)

u rite

/chug

ZachLeg (August 18, 2010)

u mad, bro?

Broski (August 18, 2010)

grab me a brew

porksoda (August 18, 2010)

I'm pretty sure this guy is the ultimate troll. Kudos, sir.

88fingerstonytherevenge (August 18, 2010)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vFgXF0a_Yw4

ZachLeg (August 18, 2010)

doing your job to finally get cam'ron some recognition on punknews

porksoda (August 18, 2010)

I guess I can keep hoping for 'Green Corn' and 'Second Solution'...

boy_eats_world (August 18, 2010)

It's about time Strung Out is put on Guitar Hero!

hashbrowns (August 18, 2010)

in unrelated news, i spotted ALL and Black Flag shirts in that movie Jack with Robbin Williams.

tarpiswoods (August 18, 2010)

Aw man when i saw Third eye blind i got all excited thinking i could jam out to semi charmed kinda life.......

Carlo_Cabinetti (August 18, 2010)

Check the comments section out on this, Metalheads vs Juggalos. Internets don't get much better
http://www.metalsucks.net/2010/08/18/tom-green-still-isnt -funny-juggalos-still-are/#comments

Tudor (August 18, 2010)

It's just one "juggalo" flooding the boards, really not that interesting...

carlo_cabinetti (August 19, 2010)

You mean people would sign up for 'fake' accounts just to post multiple times? I won't hear it, sir! That sounds utter balderdash and piffle!

germburn (August 18, 2010)

Thank you to all of you who defended the greatness that is Rush. And by the way, holy fucking shit all of 2112 is playable on this game and that is by far the coolest thing ever to be on a guitar or rockband game. Rush is by far the greatest non-punk band of all time. Whoever thinks Rush and Journey sound the same has never heard more than one song by each and realized they both have high pitched voices. Thats just stupid and you obviously know nothing about music other than whatever indie band of the week ur into right now.

jmargs13 (August 18, 2010)

buying this for strung out (bring on the hate)

p.s. our tour with strung out, rufio, and mute starts next week (i'm stoked at least. once again, bring on the hate!)

dates: http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=124064960960617&ref=ts

boy_eats_world (August 18, 2010)

That's the biggest reason to buy it! I assume you're in WATU??

jmargs13 (August 19, 2010)

haha yep, seems to me you are the only other orgcorerrer stoked on this haha

boy_eats_world (August 21, 2010)

I'm jealous of you for 2 things: One - You're on tour with Strung Out. And two- You're in We Are The Union! One of my favorite bands

clam_tears (August 18, 2010)

I cannot wait to eat a sandwich when this franchise dies. Oh the sweet taste of sandwich-y victory.
