What RB3 songs are you most excited about?

[jimcallumuk1812]

Well now the full list has been revealed what is getting you excited in RB3?

I was already looking forward to “Bohemian Rhapsody” (mainly to watch the other guys in my local band do the Opera bit) and “The Power of Love” as that’s a big favourite (and the most requested song from my local band again).

But now we also have “Through a Big Country” – never thought I’d see a Big Country track in RB, I saw them before Stuart Adamson committed suicide and they were amazing, been one of my favourite bands for years and that is a great track.

“Everybody Wants to Rule the World” in a great song, and any Police or Blondie is always welcome so “Don’t Stand So Close to Me” and “Heart of Glass” are also appreciated.

Of course “Imagine” is an utter classic and I really enjoyed the recent “Juanes” pack so another from him should be good.

I may be the only person who’s looking forward to more Elton John – I don’t particularly like him I just find some of his songs annoyingly catchy.

And perhaps best of all “Walk of Life” by Dire Straits – been one of my favourite songs off one of my favourite albums for years.

So doubtless we all have totally contradictory opinions – what are the songs you can’t wait to play in RB3?

Plush is probably my favorite STP song and I was a huge fan of the band back in the 90's when I was a teenager so I am looking forward to Pro-Voxtarring that one. Did I just make up a word? Hrmmf.

I like Filter as well and have always enjoyed Hey Man Nice Shot. Not sure how good it would be for Rock Band though. Take My Picture or Where Do We Go might have been a better choice.

The thing I am most excited for is the Pro Guitar feature. Ever since I got addicted to Rock Band my guitar playing has taken a back seat so this should revitalize it I hope. It kinda sucks that the pro guitar controller is a Fender Squire though. I already own a true Stratocaster so I doubt I'll ever use the Squire for pure guitar playing purposes. I am curious how they are going to handle songs with alternate tunings, especially Drop - D tunings. If the note charts reflected this, it might sound bad if someone plugs their guitar into their amp.

I am MOST looking forward to Faith No More, Primus, Anthrax, Filter and QotSA. Very excited to see some content from FNM's Angel Dust album, and I really really really hope the entire album eventually comes to the RB library (it's epic). In addition to those bands, I'm excited to see more Janes Addiction, Queen, Police, Ozzy, Paramore, and STP in the mix.

The '80s is represented very strong in the setlist with some great artists appearing for the first time! I just hope we get more of it! I think the introduction of keyboards will help push that.

[BlackCherry831]

Okay, so now that I've looked through the entire list, I'm not so excited. There are about 10 songs that I am totally stoked to play. Some that I'm not familiar with. Most I've heard, or heard of and don't really care to play them or not. Eh. I'm afraid that it'll be fun for awhile and then we'll be saying, "I want new DLC, I'm tired of playing disc songs." hahaha

And let me just take a moment to say AAAH! DEF LEPPARD! WHOOO! Yet another "D" band.

Still sucks for vocalists in All Instruments Mode. I hope you all don't mind playing in 4 person bands for me?

[jimcallumuk1812]

Now I read somewhere there being something about not scoring vocalists and D's comment: "Still sucks for vocalists in All Instruments Mode. I hope you all don't mind playing in 4 person bands for me?" seems to bear this out.

I seem to have missed something - what is the vox situation in RB3?

Also are there new "traditional" guitar controllers for RB3 or only the "Pro" ones?

[Saccian]

From my readings in the forums and watching videos, IIRC, if you have 5 people in your band the scores from the vocalist do not count towards the band score. I don't really do vocals so I'll admit I didn't pay much attention to this part so I could be wrong but that is the way I think it worked.

There are no new guitar controllers for RB3 except the two Pro ones, at least nothing has been released yet. Also, I found out that the Fender guitar won't be ready at the time of the release. BOO! Now I have to figure out if I want to waste $160 on the Mad Catz one as I want to focus on Pro-Guitar. It will probably depends on the delay I guess, if it is only one month I think I can hold off.

[mistressd]

You're right. With 5 instruments, vocals is set to a sorta karaoke mode where you can sing but you will not be scored, so you can see my dilemma.

As for new instruments, as far as I know, the cymbals pack for the drum set comes out first and the pro-guitars follow after the game is released, by how long I can't recall. There's also a new microphone coming out as well which is supposedly supposed to eliminate distortion at high volumes or something. I'm not sure about the keyboard, right now you can only get it bundled with the game right?

Anyway, good luck with your pro-guitar Saccian! I hope the delay's not too long.

[skk817]

Well, I'm a rock and metal fan so here are my "can't wait"s:
"Beast and the Harlot" Avenged Sevenfold
"Been Caught Stealing" Jane's Addiction
"Before I Forget" Slipknot
"Caught in a Mosh" Anthrax
"Hey Man, Nice Shot" Filter
"In the Meantime" Spacehog
"Jerry Was a Racecar Driver" Primus
"Midlife Crisis" Faith No More
"Plush" Stone Temple Pilots

I do vox for the most part, but my inner bassist is drooling over the prospect of playing Spacehog, Janes Addiction and Primus! By far Beast & the Harlot is my top pick - I'm a huge A7X nerd

[vw_fetish]

Will anyone be playing this game on launch day (Tuesday)? I have it pre-ordered from a local GameStop that plans a midnight release. Trama-tized (drummer) is coming out to my place that weekend and staying until Wednesday morning. We plan to play through as much of RB3 as possible. Hell, we may even shoot for platinums if possible. If anyone cares to join us on Tuesday for a jam session, feel free to shoot me a message on PSN. I'll be on guitar/bass while Trama is on drums. The rest of the spots will be empty for whoever wants to join us.

[mistressd]

I got a pre-order too, so I'll probably see ya. Don't know if there's a midnight release, but if one Gamestop's doing it, the rest are probably going to as well.

I'm with Siri, give me the rock and metal! \m/ The Spanish songs are gonna be a little hard, but I'm covered for the German in "Du Hast"! And I also want to add "Walk of Life" to the list, because today was the first time I'd heard that song in 20 years and I remembered how good it was. In fact, there's a lot of songs I haven't heard nigh on 20 years, I feel like a kid again looking at that setlist. BTW, I'm 29 in case you all are thinking I'm an old lady.

[wadopotato79]

Got my pre-order in, but it looks like Gamestop (maybe just mine...but online as well) has pulled the PS3 version of the keyboard bundle. Ended up having to order the game and keyboard separately...retarded. The store manager said he wasn't sure if they were going to have a midnight release or not...regardless, I am very tempted to take a "sick" day.

[skk817]

I preordered from Gamestop too, but I wasn't planning to get the keyboard bundle anyway. And ... I actually took the 26th and 27th as vacation days from work just to play RB3!

[wadopotato79]

That is going to be a very tough week for me...I have the 26th to play, but then I'm out of town for company meetings Wed.-Fri. It is going to be impossible to concentrate for those 3 days. Might have to lug my PS3 and keyboard with me...ha ha.

[Saccian]

I had originally booked off a week for RB3 release although things at work are hectic with 3 other managers leaving or taking new positions. Looks like I'll be working now although I was mostly wanting to practice all the Pro-mode stuff and with the later release of the Fender, I guess it won't matter now. I still might get the Mustang one just to tie me over. Seems like a waste of money for me, but we'll see. I will likely be playing it a lot on the first two days though.
