"This Song is in Rock Band 2!"
« on: July 14, 2010, 06:26:17 AM »
Sure, its kind of trivial, but if we can have a Myung Kicks a Beach Ball thread we can have this too  ;)

Anyways, I was noticing JLB has been saying stuff like "This song is in Rock Band 2!" at the beginning of Panic Attack. Do you think it was his idea, or if someone in the band/crew suggested it ("Hey JLB I bet a lot of these guys have Rock Band 2 and it would be good promotion")

(Also, I love the guy's delivery of "That was hilarious")

This reminds me that I want to ask Mike at his meet and greet tomorrow (HOLY SHIT, my concert is tomorrow. I'm really excited I can actually go to this one [check Concert Dilemma thread]) if Dream Theater has any songs on the new Guitar Hero or Rock Band or if they are going to be doing the Rock Band Network thing any time soon.

I played Constant Motion last night on RockBand 2.  My friend downloaded it.  i never play that game.  it was fun.  but his idea of DT is now Panic Attack and Constant Motion.  They are good songs, but not DT classics.  It bothers me lol.

It would be AWESOME to see the entirety of Images And Words done for Rock Band 3, especially because of the keyboard! It would be a great way to play "Wait For Sleep". The whole album would be a challenge, but even individual songs would be tough! Maybe we can bug the band enough to see what they think!

Yeah, I think the worst part of DT's set was when JLB introduced Panic Attack by making reference to Rock Band 2.

Eh, Randy Blythe did the same thing when opening up Laid To Rest the last time I saw Lamb of God live

If the entire 12 Step Suite was put on RBN, that would be pretty awesome. But at the same time, those songs are vastly different from the songs that are in Rock Band, so if a song did make it, it would probably be A Rite of Passage.

"A Rite Of Passage" isn't part of the Twelve Step Suite... unless you just meant any song from the last 5 albums in general, but by the wording of your post, it sounded like you meant "if a song [from the 12 Step Suite] did make it"...

But I agree, the Twelve Step Suite would be long and hard on Rock Band. Not many songs over 10 minutes make it onto GH/RB (I don't play them enough to know which, if any, exist), so I'm not sure how well received "The Glass Prison" or "This Dying Soul" would be. If any of the five songs, it'd have to be "The Root Of All Evil".

Badly worded post, my bad. I meant to say, if another DT song got it, it would have to be similar to Panic Attack or Constant Motion. And I was thinking it would have to be A Rite of Passage, since that song is one of their more recent popular ones.

As I've always said to my friend, Train Of Thought would be the perfect album for a game like Rock Band.
Jesus Christ himself* comes down amidst a choir of 2 billion angels singing Handel's Hallelujah chorus. As KrotchRaut shred randomly on guitars made of dragon bones using picks made from God's kidney stones, Jesus heals a blind woman who promptly gives birth onstage to a creation of pure light.

*Yes, Jesus Christ himself. Nothing less will do.

Ahhh yes, the typical metal-side single - "Panic Attack" and "Constant Motion" definitely fit that theme, as would "A Rite Of Passage". Going backwards, "As I Am" would be great too, as would "The Test That Stumped Them All" (single edit or not).

As I've always said to my friend, Train Of Thought would be the perfect album for a game like Rock Band.

That sounds like a good idea. Although "Vacant" would be interesting, but with Keyboards now, you could do Keyboard/bass for "Vacant". That would be interesting.

Yeah, with the keyboard peripheral on its way, now I'm REALLY looking forward to some DT songs in the game.

For all I know they've done this, but it would be cool if they could let anybody create a rock band file or whatever it's considered for any song. Then put it in an online marketplace for anyone to try and rate how good of a song it is to play. Different people could do different versions of the same song. That way you could download and play any song you want to. I guess you would need artist approval, but I bet people would pay like $10 for a whole album like they do on iTunes though.

I'm definately expecting some DT songs in RB3 with the inclusion of the keyboard, the producers would be stupid to not put them in.

If they do a Dream Theater song in RB3 it better be one with an insane JP/JR unison.

That's not the full setlist, it's just the officially announced songs, so it's still completely possible.
Personally, I'm hoping for something from Awake.

The Mirror is a popular song, right? If its anything off of Awake, it'll probably be that, but I wouldn't count on it. My senses keep pointing towards A Rite of Passage, even if that song is meh to me. Although I wouldn't complain if they put the whole A Mind Besides Itself suite on there :neverusethis:

You have to play it as soon as it appears in tour mode, because that venue will never be open again. :neverusethis:

As much as I want something from Awake, it would more likely be something more recent; odds of it being A Rite Of Passage are probably pretty high. Though there are other songs I'd prefer, I'd be fine with that.

I imagined the story to go more like this.

I was sitting a traffic light blaring Space Dye Vest and next to me in another car was Kevin Moore. And I'll never be open again.

Yeah, I think they'd add something off Systematic Chaos or BC&SL, since RR Records has been releasing a lot of DLC recently. If they added The Dark Eternal Night I would FFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU- first, but I'd realize that it's a hard song to play and hell of a fun one to sing.
