If you could put any songs you wanted in Rock Band...

you sir are the coolest person in this thread thusfar

Also, to everyone who is screaming DRAGONFORCE DRAGONFORCE DAGRONFAREC HUARRGH, uh, I don't mean to burst your bubble, but...it isn't possible. A Rock Band drum kit cannot reproduce more than one or two DragonForce drumlines out of their entire discography. Why? There is only one bass pedal on the kit. There is no way that a single pedal can keep up with DragonForce's double bass, unless you can indeed force out five minutes of eighth and sixteenth streams at 200BPM (note: you can't).

Besides, Rock Band lacks a keyboard attachment and the keyboardist is seriously the best member of the band anyway =3

Now for my brief songlist:

Rainbow in the Dark - Dio
Paranoid Android - Radiohead (the guitar would be fucking ridiculous)
I Want to Conquer the World - Bad Religion
Trust - Megadeth (The drumline isn't too complex but it'd be a lot of fun)
Sail On - Masterplan
Sweet Home Alabama - Lynyrd Skynyrd (Free Bird would be no fun for anyone but the guitarist)
Knocking at Your Back Door - Deep Purple
Civil War - Guns N' Roses
IN A GADDA DA FUCKING VIDA - Iron Butterfly (I mean the freaking 17 minute long album version, because jesus that would be a party)
Kashmir - Led Zeppelin (yeah like zeppelin will ever be in a music game maybe if you pried the money from their cold dead hands)
Bat Out Of Hell - Meat Loaf
Mr. Crowley - Ozzy Osbourne (It's a toss-up between Crowley and Goodbye to Romance)
Losing My Religion - R.E.M. (I demand the lead guitar play mandolin)
Panama - Van Halen (I was thinking Hot For Teacher but that belongs in Guitar Hero IMO)


Okay, maybe not so brief. I kinda sifted through my albums. NOTE THE LACK OF DRAGONFORCE, A BAND WHO, WHILE I OWN THEIR DISCOGRAPHY, DO NOT FEEL THE NEED TO VERBALLY FELLATIATE OR SELL MY SOUL TO (hint: jesus christ they aren't that good get a hold of your selves)

there are parts during And Justice For All drums that sound very much like double bass, they just don't chart it. granted, it's very different than "ignore constant double bass throughout the entire song" but still worth noting.

Well, this is a good point, but I think we both agree that the double bass in your average power metal song is more often than not too prolific to ignore in terms of staying true to the song.

[bg_hojo72]

indeed we do. i just felt it worth noting ^^

but i wouldn't put it past them to simply easify double-bass throughout an entire song. they charted Maps on guitar without ever having you do the fast single note riff and also didn't chart some of the drumrolls on Wanted Dead or Alive.

[fornicate forum boredom]

I suppose it's possible. It isn't a big deal, anyway, because even if some DragonForce songs made it on there, none of my favorite songs would be the ones chosen.

[forum boredom]

Like what? I think the only ones I would enjoy are Fury of the Storm and My Spirit Will Go On. The rest just sounds too similar :<

I know that all of you would love some of your songs to be in Rock Band, but some of the songs, like any song from Dragonforce, is highly unlikely to even be RECOMMENDED because in Harmonix terms, it would be too difficult to play (solo would be too hard with their timing window compared to GH3, and drums are even harder if you don't have fast hands). I don't think their is enough vocals in their songs as well, depending on which song.

Putting that aside, I would go for some Guns 'n' Roses songs, especially Paradise City. That song is perfect for Rock Band. Hard enough for Rock Band, decent drums, especially at the fast part, a lot of vocals as well, and an ending riff to finish it all.

[forum boredom]

People have cleared TTFAF on hacked GH1, so I doubt something with GH2-esque timing would be an issue, plus with the solo frets it wouldn't really be THAT bad.

The drums I can kind of see, but the vocals wouldn't be any worse than in GG&HT, with two long-ass solos.

1) Dawn Over A New World
2) Soldiers of the Wasteland
3) Flames of Youth
4) Cry For Eternity
5) My Spirit Will Go On

They might do MSWGO but I'd say we're 95% more likely to get like, the first four songs off of the Inhuman Rampage album.

As an argument to that, I believe that the community has agreed that all of the custom hack DragonForce charts were nowhere near as hard as the official TTFAF chart, though I may be remembering something I never actually read.

[forum boredom]

I've watched vids of a couple and they aren't as bad as TTFAF, no. I saw a really wicked Fury of the Storm chart that would be pretty easy to tap if you could keep track of it.

[fornicate forum boredom]

Honestly, I don't tap, but it's a matter of preference. I just don't find it fun to play that way.

Same.

[forum boredom]

The way the chart is laid out it almost demands it. The only time I ever tap is the intro of TTFAF because that's simply the easiest way of doing it. The solo of that FotS chart has patterns that are really similar to the intro of TTFAF, but that's how the song is played, so eh.

leave dragonforce for stepmania

even though they all sound the same

Way to contribute to the topic.

I would like to see Eruption as DLC for GH.

The full 10-minute live version.
