Name your song you wish was included with GH or Rockband?

[Hyperglide]

I created this thread with the intention of learning what song you believe would be some hardcore bad ass thrashing, shredding goodness. Or just some fast finger picking. You decide. Give use some feedback to as to why you'd like to see that song in there or even better post a link.

Either way give us your thought's for a song you wish you would've seen included in these popular rhythm games.

I'll start it off. I'm still hungering for some

Eh, if you want great bass go elsewhere. They made bass guitar parts a focus, but Flea isn't near as good as other bassists out there.

[mister_slim]

Neil Young & Crazy Horse - Like A Hurricane, the version off Weld. Never gonna happen. Second would be Sultans of Swing, by Dire Straits.

Edit: Some Tool would make for awesome basslines.

Sazime - Knights of Cydonia is in GH3. You lose the thread.

Ya that song was already in Guitar Hero III... Thanks for the input though. Love that song it's fun to play!

Buckethead - Big Sur Moon (I know he was already in Guitar Hero II but this song just reeks of cool) BTW this is a remix done by some random dude and I actually find this rendition is better than the original.

Better Living Through Chemistry - Queens of the Stone Age (the most epic song evar.)
A New Language - The (International) Noise Conspiracy (I just like the guitar noise, and the beat)
Brainstorm - Arctic Monkeys (just soo cool)
New Born - Muse
Any god damn Desert Session song.from Desert Sessions 1 or 2. It would suck for the singer, but damn, I love desert sessions.

Maybe a Bob Dylan song or something, but other than that, that set would be orgasmic.

You think so? See, I'm listening to Subcutaneous Phat right now, and it sounds like it would just be so great for Rockband. Great parts for everyone besides the singer.

No problem, I know you're just joking.

Now that I think about it, Punks Blood has great drum parts too, so it might not be bad for Rockband except for lack of lyrics. Subsutaneous Phat could be good if the singer doesn't mind just going "Ooooooooooooo Ooooooo" for the whole song. Truly I think one of the PJ Harvey songs would be best on rockband.

By the way, Better Living Through Chemistry is my favorite song on Rated R

See, I just cut out most insane guitar playing and drumming because of the speed and it would stop being "fun" for me.

For instance, I don't like playing GH or RB on anything over medium most times. The hard versions are just frustrating and not fun.

The fun though is getting good at them through sucking badly for a long enough time. I was never good enough at GH to get past medium until I went to college at which point I played so much that I'm now really good at the game on higher levels. Then again some people like my neighbor at school, whom I hate for being so good, are good at it from the first time they play.

Oh, here's a good one. Kinda like a Freezepop type song in that it's not a typical guitar rock song, but it would be a lot of fun to play.

I don't really have any problem with Morrissey, he's just kind of a weird guy. But he's a great singer and The Smiths are definitely a lot of fun to sing along to.

"I would go out tonight, but I haven't got a stitch to wear. This man said 'It's gruesome that someone so handsome should care'".

Edit: Come to think of it, if Rock Band doesn't have a Smiths pack out by next month I'm gonna be really disappointed. They're such an obvious choice for that.

[JimmyDanger]

Anything by Frank Zappa.

I'd kill to play the solo from Muffin Man (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8CGO9I8rmkE) - (begins at 1.50) - but considering the first 1.25 of the song is mainly keyboard - I'd highly doubt it.

Still - there's a heap of Zappa stuff that could be easily more accessible and put in.

Anything Zappa. Anything. It must be done - to do justice to the legacy of one of the greatest composers in American history.

Oh yeah - and I'd love to play some hip hop. Plenty of Run DMC tracks (Rock Box would be awesome) from the old days are guitar based (they had a session guitarist playing on most of their albums - as that's how Rick Rubin liked it). Gawd - Tone Loc's "Wild thing" would rock. Since they like to mix their genres up - I'd dare say something's on the cards.

[Sazime]

Oh gods, Zappa. Yes. Also:
KE4HGlmtOcg

[pomeroy]

I know it's silly, but more Bon Jovi (not because it is hard, but because it would be so fun. Livin' On A Prayer, You Give Love A Bad Name, Blaze of Glory.).

I think more Killers songs would be great (Mr. Brightside, Somebody Told Me, Sam's Town).

And since we are wishing for things that won't happen, Everclear. I'd love to play "Santa Monica" or "Unemployed Boyfriend".

I'm only talking about Rock Band here. Guitar Hero...eh. Whatever. I have GH3, and love it, but I'm so taken by Rock Band it's not even funny.

[ShivaX]

Sultans of Swing or Money For Nothing <--- Thread Over

Gotta agree. Lack of Dire Straits kinda sucks for GH, especially "Rocks the 80's" which has no DS at all. I mean no Money For Nothing, but a ton of songs noone remembers? What a sad waste.

yes i realize you can get these for gh2 with hax0r'd discs, but i packed up my ps2 because i'd rather play on the 360, so i rebought gh2 and got gh3 and rb for xbox.

Stand Inside Your Love--Smashing Pumpkins

[Nuggsy]

These forums never fail to surprise me. The amount of love for Mark Knopfler (sp?)/Dire Straits shown here has almost renewed my faith in humanity. Ditto for Neil Young.

As great as the song Knights of Cydonia is, I would rather have seen Assassin in GHIII. I'm also waiting for There Goes My Hero by the Foo Fighters and La Via Viaquez by The Mars Volta. Assemble the Empire or End Moraine by Sparta would kick some serious ass as well. I've also been lobbying for Jesus Christ Pose by Soundgarden, as somebody else mentioned, for some time now.

YouTube is blocked in my office, otherwise I'd try and have some links for you guys.

[DjinniMan]

Seriously. You would have though at some point, the guys at Harmonix would've gone, "oh shit, we forgot Money for Nothin'"

EDIT:

Also, I posted this (http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/846/846387p1.html)in the RB DLC forum. All I have to say is, fucking TOOL.

The correct answer is "__________" by Led Zeppelin.

You can close this now.

Seriously. You would have though at some point, the guys at Harmonix would've gone, "oh shit, we forgot Money for Nothin'"I'd prefer Sultans Of Swing myself, but I'd be happy with Money For Nothin' (or anything off of Brothers In Arms).

[Shrinn]

Something, anything Blind Guardian. I'm thinking Bright Eyes (http://youtube.com/watch?v=r5O6Vt_8_ng), Nightfall (http://youtube.com/watch?v=PrEm8jMC5Q8), or Valhalla (http://youtube.com/watch?v=CZ_VFJn2kJM).

Also, Assassin by Muse should have been in GH3. And Knights of Cydonia in Rock Band. A Muse pack would be awesome.

And some Dethklok. Even if it has to be Kill you for the clean vocals. Need more Dethklok.

[LarsenNET]

I'd be happy if Activision started releasing songs for GHIII on a regular basis. Rock Band is killing them.

Adam Blue - I agree completely. Though I would go with Calling (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7pdix9ZZdmw) or anything from Twisted by Design. Exile in Oblivion, while fairly awesome, was trying to be a little too metal I thought.

Ok the songs I did earlier are more for GH3 and are a little more difficult. I thought these songs would be better party songs:

With the Oasis pack coming, they should definitely throw in some Arctic Monkeys. A Certain Romance, What If You Were Right The First Time, If You Were There Beware, or something. Also, Some Might Say should have been in the Oasis pack. I also second the Everclear.

In terms of just fun to have
Violent Femmes - American Music or Add It Up
NOFX - The Idiots are Taking Over

[PatrickRes9]

Actually, if people really wanted to break their fingers, mostly with offbeat stuff, they should have added the amazing "The Mars Volta". Although you may go half the song without hearing much guitar. You could translate other sounds to the guitar though, I suppose.
