Not a killers fan, but I do think there's enough stuff there for their own game. Definitely wouldn't mind some more DLC from them, their drummer is a talented man and they're songs people know, so that's always good.
As much as I hate and I mean, hate, avenged 7fold, every song of theirs on GH and RB has been extremely fun to play. Beast and the Harlot on GH2 remains one of my all time favourite tracks.
No, please no...
yeah i didnt expect A7X to go down well but thats the GH i'd like
pantera would be fun but i dont really care haha0 -

Heresy! Just because they don't make videos so there's only 3-4 songs that ever get played anywhere doesn't make them boring! With the exception of the current album and a blip around 2001 when they cut their hair and their live shows became a little bit pedestrian, they are the business.
Iron Maiden. They have the back catalogue. They have the prestige. They have the international appeal. They have the variety of difficulty levels. They have 3 guitarists and a bass player for 6-player online madness. Throw in a minigame between gigs where the lead singer has to fly a plane while the rest of you drink and some means of mirroring your career progress through the evolution of your stage set / Eddie... 36 chambers of Aw Sum. For early shows, you could even have a dedicated Eddie in the band, using a balance board, M+ and nunchuck to stomp around the stage "frightening" the crowd. I smell a collectors edition set of latex masks...
@JayP - My Iron Lung is on the RB2 shop I think. Not exactly Electioneering but it'd do
I like their music, but would post-Bends Radiohead work in the context of the game?0 -

I guess it wouldn't really work... I just properly thought about it and I guess none of the stuff from Amnesiac or Kid A could actually work.... There are some songs with guitars, but not very much. The vocals are fairly weird, and the drums are done on computer! Haha! I should think these things through a bit! In Rainbows would defintely work though, like I said. Some stuff on Hail To The Thief would work too.0 -

Theirs just something I don't like about them. Just the way I've always felt. Meh!Heresy!

Iron Maiden would be good, and your minigames sound class! It reminds me of this

I can really see U2 getting one- loads of material to choose from
- known across the world
- no songs released on RB as of yet
- they were impressed with the Beatles RB
- etc, etc.
Ha, over my dead body! Possibly my favourite thread in this forum!0 -

Thousand year band here I come! Rock Band U2 please! Everyone has their opinion, but it's a fact that U2 are one of the biggest bands in the world with one of the biggest followings in the world too. So it makes a lot of business sense to choose them, especially given that they're interested it the idea.
Visuals are another reason to choose U2. You have some really great videos to draw inspiration from, for example I can already see a stage set in the video for Where the Streets Have No Name, echoing The Beatles final stage on Apple Corps rooftop. Their tours have been consistently visually striking as well. Not to mention the change in the bands own style throughout the years, I can already see slicked back hair and bug eye shades Bono pulling shapes on stage Plus seeing Dublin in a Rock Band game would be great!
Gameplay-wise the drums would be great as would the vocals and bass would be fine, but I who really cares about bass
Now obviously Edge uses effects a lot so the songs wouldnt be very complex at all and the guitar would be pretty dull, remedy? An effects pedal. I dont think it'd be that hard to implement really and it would add a new feature to the game.
Another one I'd like to see would be Rock Band: Pink Floyd. The story of the band is almost perfect for Rock Band. You could start off with a stage with Syd Barrett-era Floyd, then the bulk of the game consisting of Gilmour/Waters era album by album, a stage for Gilmour led Floyd (probably The Division Bell Tour which was a spectacle) and then the final stage being the reuinion at Live Aid, ending the game on a positive note. Obviously visually it'd be amazing too.
Then it the beyond longshot category, Rock Band: Primus! (At least give us some DLC!)
One thing that will hold back some bands could be lineup changes, would be kinda crappy to have a rotating band lineup like that in a game. Also there'd be the matter of getting ex-members to agree to allow their likeness.0 -
