*discovers bands through guitar hero*

hahaha that made me laugh.

also, for some reason i get offended when i find out song i like are on rockband/guitar hero.

i was playing freezepop a while ago and someone was like "oh sweet, freezepop" and i was so taken aback that they knew who it was. further conversation revealed the horrorfying truth.

really, no one knows sonic youth? i thought they were super huge...

and guys, eat my cornhole! leave muse aLONE!! they went through a lot, they love their sisters!!!  :fogetcry:

Do you guys realize that a lot of good can come out of this game? Sure, there is that large group of idiots who only add the Guitar Hero/Rock Band songs to their iPods and live their life completely ignorant to the rest of the band's catalog, but that isn't the entire population of people playing this game. Those people are idiots. Ridicule them, not the game. People like me and many others that I know have actually had their entire musical tastes changed by this game. I found bands like Iron Maiden, The Sword, and Metallica because of playing it.
Because of that, I got really into the bands (hell, I saw Maiden twice this year) and then found other similar bands. Because of The Sword, I am now a huge doom metal fan (Electric Wizard, YOB, Sleep, etc.), because of Iron Maiden, I love N.W.O.B.H.M. (Judas Priest, Venom, Saxon, etc.), and because of Metallica, I love thrash (Slayer, Megadeth, Testament, etc.). There are many idiots, but there are also many people who use this game for good.

the point is if you're first discovering sonic youth through guitar hero 1. your discovery will be limited to buying their one song on itunes or 2. you would have discovered them anyways as you would clearly be proactive in not having shitty taste.

Bang Camaro's a little mainstream. I prefer Fuck? Mazda, the drummer's sideproject.

The whole choir of singers thing has got me thinking about how idealistic and impractical it would be to have a band and make it a rule that if anyone wants to be in the band you have to say yes. It'd be like everyone getting to be a rock star in that sort of moronic sugar-sweet-family-band-inclusiveness sort of way.

theyre alright.

saying they should replace the 'choir' thing with someone who can 'actually sing' is pretty dumb because youre basically saying they should change one of the core concepts of their band.

you should never discover a music group through a videogame. if you do, that game should not be guitar hero. if it is, never tell anyone.
I would agree with you, but this case is different to me, since Bryn Bennett the lead guitarist (arguably the frontman too) for Bang Camaro is a CO-FOUNDER of Harmonix. Bang Camaro along with a number of other bands which have members from Harmonix have always been used as Bonus tracks for the Harmonix games, just to get some half-decent exposure that they wouldn't have got any other way.
