 | Comment #1 by danjohnson58 Monday, May 26, 2008 @ 02:00:03 PM Never heard of them, but a new album is good news. |
 | Comment #2 by Callum x360a Monday, May 26, 2008 @ 02:03:01 PM Is this the same Cars who did Drive? |
 | Comment #3 by Guitar Man OO7 Monday, May 26, 2008 @ 02:05:19 PM they're a 70s 80s classic rock band |
 | Comment #4 by Grimgravy57 Monday, May 26, 2008 @ 02:16:26 PM the good times roll is a great song, good band good cd, but i dunno if it warrants a purchase |
 | Comment #5 by Xedoss Monday, May 26, 2008 @ 02:23:53 PM Just listened to some. Not really an instant download if you ask me. I'll pass. |
 | Comment #6 by squirreltakos Monday, May 26, 2008 @ 03:12:13 PM Why can't we get an awesome full album... The last two I don't even want one song from. |
 | Comment #7 by X Dboi X Monday, May 26, 2008 @ 03:20:25 PM Is this the same Cars who did Mater-National? |
 | Comment #8 by GodComplex13 Monday, May 26, 2008 @ 03:28:25 PM ..The who? It sounds like Im talking about the band, but Im actually just showing my distaste for the full album choices. I'm sure someones excited about this, but I wish for full albums they would start with more popular bands. |
 | Comment #9 by Ricass Monday, May 26, 2008 @ 03:29:24 PM Screw The Cars, Doolittle by the Pixies is the next album, coming in June if Wikipedia can be believed! Yay! |
 | Comment #10 by Johnny Candles Monday, May 26, 2008 @ 03:45:19 PM Great album! I'm a big fan of 80's music so this is a welcome download. And "yes" to comment #2. They also do "Drive". |
 | Comment #11 by Dragonfire 360 Monday, May 26, 2008 @ 03:49:47 PM Whats ever happened to Who's Next? I REALLY want that one. XD I might pick up 1 or 2 songs from this one. |
 | Comment #12 by Honkymagoo Monday, May 26, 2008 @ 03:57:08 PM I wouldn't say "screw The Cars" Ricass because they're a pretty good band but DOOLITTLE BY THE PIXIES!?!?! FUCK YES! |
 | Comment #13 by soccerplaya13cj Monday, May 26, 2008 @ 04:47:54 PM @everyone dissing on the Cars/Judas Priest albums, these are both very popular bands. Just because they aren't your "favorite", they both contributed a lot to the genre. Priest is one of the best metal bands of all-time, and the Cars have had many songs in the main stream media as of late (Best Buy commercial, i.e.). The already announced Pixies? Not as much, but they are still a very solid band. I understand everyone wanting The Who, Nirvana, (insert your favorite band here), but they can't go for Guitar Hero's proverbial throat until closer to Guitar Hero Aerosmith is released. |
 | Comment #14 by ZoopSoul Monday, May 26, 2008 @ 04:57:15 PM Bring on Doolittle. |
 | Comment #15 by buck wyyld Monday, May 26, 2008 @ 05:07:33 PM It always gets touchy when people start to voice their musical preferences. Might as well have a "talk" about abortion. I wouldn't get too uppity, though, you're arguing very mainstream bands exclusively. You don't know who The Cars are? Seriously, why are you playing Rock Band? This album will surprise you--it's a solid example of New Wave rock. The call for "Doolittle" is warranted, too--that album smokes, but I'm not picking up this game until they do a death metal edition. Try playing some fucking Nile or Psycroptic, then ask who The Cars are! |
 | Comment #16 by xSIQxNASTYxAJx Monday, May 26, 2008 @ 05:23:22 PM Yea I'm definately getting this. |
 | Comment #17 by andyb24 Monday, May 26, 2008 @ 05:35:36 PM getting the full album. also, doolittle is deffinatley coming next month and who's next should be the month after. |
| Comment #18 by Honkymagoo Monday, May 26, 2008 @ 05:37:19 PM Buck I used to listen to a lot of metal and used to feel the same way but playing any type of extreme metal on guitar hero is just going to be fucking stupid. I'd much rather play rock or blues songs. Metal on guitar hero is just slamming buttons and strumming as fast as you possibly can, it's no fucking fun. With rock/blues you're jamming and rocking out, that's the experience I'm looking for in the game. |
 | Comment #19 by zyxomma100 Monday, May 26, 2008 @ 06:03:47 PM One of only two good albums by The Cars, IMO. I'm buying this... eventually. Too bad there isn't a way to play Moving in Stereo and All Mixed Up with gapless playback, because those songs just become epic when put together. |
 | Comment #20 by todd_pip33 Monday, May 26, 2008 @ 06:04:40 PM Hmm...definitely not a buy. I agree that there really should be a cease in the constant flow of old rock. I love old rock, I truly do, but when pretty much every single download is old rock, I am getting tired of it. I don't really count the Harmonix bands, which I find shameful for the company to release. I don't dig them plugging their bands into all their releases. Anyhow, I guess looks like a I have another week of no downloads...HARMONIX PLEASE NEW SONGS! But please no idiotic Fall-Out Boy. |
 | Comment #21 by barnesB0mb Monday, May 26, 2008 @ 06:07:07 PM ac/dc album would be awsome ill wait b4 i D/L this theres loads more tunes i want b4 i get this |
 | Comment #22 by emirP sumitpO Monday, May 26, 2008 @ 06:14:52 PM definitely a good buy esp if u just go for all of them. and Rockband will have no reason to go for GH's throat considering GH 4 is going to change EVERYTHING. |
 | Comment #23 by an1m051ty Monday, May 26, 2008 @ 06:19:09 PM Great album, I'll D/L the whole thing! |
 | Comment #24 by MR NOVAK Monday, May 26, 2008 @ 06:26:04 PM NIRVANA, nuff said |
 | Comment #25 by TristanValendro Monday, May 26, 2008 @ 06:48:27 PM uh...how about a Slayer album? And yes, AC/DC album please! |
 | Comment #26 by BigApple3AM Monday, May 26, 2008 @ 07:04:16 PM Just what I needed! |
 | Comment #27 by Samurai_King Monday, May 26, 2008 @ 07:47:29 PM I think we need some newer stuff, dnt get me wrong i love metallica etc but id like some Disturbed, Korn, Stone Sour, Bullet For My Valentine, Trivium and Killswitch Engage. i would say put a few lighter songs on it, BUT its got plenty already, i mean i look at the list and see BEASTIE BOYS and just think could not just put Killswitch Engage - Arms Of Sorrow or Rose Of Sharyn in its place? |
 | Comment #28 by Infomouse Monday, May 26, 2008 @ 08:02:42 PM They need to stop making these DLC's too damn expensive |
 | Comment #29 by flipitdave Monday, May 26, 2008 @ 08:15:27 PM I want more Smashing Pumpkins, at least 1979 please. |
 | Comment #30 by VA5HtheSTAMPEDE Monday, May 26, 2008 @ 08:30:44 PM Why are people so poor on Xbox Live? ;P |
 | Comment #31 by bodomchaos Monday, May 26, 2008 @ 08:50:22 PM haha buck wyyld you're right on the money. Give me some LOG, All That Remains, tool would be fantastic. |
 | Comment #32 by VampireViking Monday, May 26, 2008 @ 08:56:26 PM -agrees with #27 some heavy rock/metal would be nice.. they had that on guitar hero and this is meant to be better |
 | Comment #33 by brosif74 Monday, May 26, 2008 @ 10:24:21 PM disturbed - land of confusion |
 | Comment #34 by sleepynow Monday, May 26, 2008 @ 10:26:13 PM Yes yes yes yes yes!! These are some catchy tunes that everyone I know loves! Definitely getting this one. |
 | Comment #35 by crunchb3rry Monday, May 26, 2008 @ 10:38:45 PM This is a pretty damn unique choice. I'm buying this for sure. This is rock history no matter if you jilted metal snobs like it or not. |
 | Comment #36 by GuitarGuruXXX Monday, May 26, 2008 @ 10:57:00 PM Bought for sure. This is a great album from top to bottom. |
 | Comment #37 by darquesyde Monday, May 26, 2008 @ 11:08:04 PM There are some classic hits there, but I'll be spending my points on petrol instead. |
 | Comment #38 by Demonic Dounut Monday, May 26, 2008 @ 11:11:51 PM Some of u guys really need to come to realize that some bands will never be released in any of these games like tool, jimi h., Ac/dc and etc. Tool won't even sell their songs on itunes. household name bands like ACDC, Jimi have very limited control if any to release their stuff. 250,000 to buy rights for a hendrix song? i would rather have rock band2 |
 | Comment #39 by DaJoernIdentity Tuesday, May 27, 2008 @ 12:08:16 AM the 80s were a weak decade for music |
 | Comment #40 by ZombieDrew Tuesday, May 27, 2008 @ 12:19:18 AM driving cars suck... |
 | Comment #41 by QuarantineV1 Tuesday, May 27, 2008 @ 01:00:40 AM I think both DLC albums were a great idea. I practically shat myself when I found out they released the entire Screaming For Vengeance album for Rock Band. I guess the rest of you can just pray for the some newer stuff....I personally enjoy classic rock. |
| Comment #42 by Augustus Tuesday, May 27, 2008 @ 01:30:09 AM Nothing can stop us now Because we are all made of stars |
 | Comment #43 by kiwi18 Tuesday, May 27, 2008 @ 01:37:16 AM Pass... |
 | Comment #44 by Fryza Tuesday, May 27, 2008 @ 01:46:46 AM May download 'Good Times Roll' and 'Just What I Needed', but would rather listen to the album rather than play it. |
 | Comment #45 by sh0ckwave Tuesday, May 27, 2008 @ 03:33:34 AM Lol @ all the kids who haven't heard of The Cars, this is an awesome album. I will be purchasing it in full. |
 | Comment #46 by Sweet666Kraven Tuesday, May 27, 2008 @ 03:42:12 AM Moving in Stereo is awesome! |
 | Comment #47 by Jagged 88 Tuesday, May 27, 2008 @ 03:59:31 AM The Cars sound OK but does anyone think that they will ever bring the song "The Don" by The View out because the bass is Amazing in that song. |
 | Comment #48 by mattblasto Tuesday, May 27, 2008 @ 04:07:38 AM oh my god... where are the good songs? can we have some good rock now? where's all the iron maiden, metallica, and disturbed? |
 | Comment #49 by haxor ftw Tuesday, May 27, 2008 @ 04:28:31 AM lol its not that good |
 | Comment #50 by ZombieNinjaX Tuesday, May 27, 2008 @ 06:38:23 AM Mattblasto wtf.... you cant use fucking Disturbed in the same sentence as those other bands lol! And Cars WERE a good band. /sigh |
 | Comment #51 by Vanuslux Tuesday, May 27, 2008 @ 10:50:24 AM I'm kind of iffy on this one. There's definitely some choice songs on that album, but it's kind of moldy around the edges and I'm a little burned out on the classic rock right now. I'll probably just grab my favorite few individual tracks. |
 | Comment #52 by JohnFrantastic Tuesday, May 27, 2008 @ 01:32:30 PM If only Drive was available. |
 | Comment #53 by JonnyStrife182 Tuesday, May 27, 2008 @ 01:36:15 PM The people demand Alter Bridge track packs!! |
| Comment #54 by JohnFrantastic Tuesday, May 27, 2008 @ 01:51:53 PM ^ I don't. Well. I demand Avenged Sevenfold and Pantera more. |
 | Comment #55 by Castrum Tuesday, May 27, 2008 @ 02:12:12 PM Just listened to the songs via RB, and god do they sound dull. "Laid-back", I guess some would say, but I prefer the word "dull" in this instance. There were some songs in the pack that showed some slight promise, but overall, it's another crappy week for RB DLC. |
 | Comment #56 by GonzoPoopsmith Tuesday, May 27, 2008 @ 03:15:34 PM If nothing else, it's gonna be fun making drunk friends sing Just What I Needed. |
 | Comment #57 by BootlegWarrior6 Tuesday, May 27, 2008 @ 07:53:39 PM everyones saying that the cars and judas priest are not popular, but if you were from that genration that would be some of your favorite stuff. personally im not a pixies fan, but if you read game informer it says on the latest issue (featuring GH4) that Judas Priest, Cars, and Pixies were the fist three full albums. |
| Comment #58 by BootlegWarrior6 Tuesday, May 27, 2008 @ 07:57:35 PM oh yeah, i did download the entire screaming for vengence album, and i think im getting this as well :) |
| Comment #59 by brosif74 Tuesday, May 27, 2008 @ 08:16:44 PM i want some disturbed and thats what it says on WIKIPEDIA.org |
 | Comment #60 by Bondfan626 Tuesday, May 27, 2008 @ 11:16:35 PM I want Whos's Next album, and some Queen songs. Guns and Roses would be nice also. |
 | Comment #61 by MasterLinkTP Tuesday, May 27, 2008 @ 11:25:04 PM They need some more modern stuff. don't know if anybody likes but The Fall of Troy would be ridiculous. Queen and the Who would be sweet too though |
 | Comment #62 by SASQUATCHfrenzy Wednesday, May 28, 2008 @ 01:07:35 AM I think that this is a decent album and I will more then likely download it. The Pixies album, however should be interesting, although most of the songs don't even break three minutes, so i guess we'll just have to wait and see. |
 | Comment #63 by ExiledStarjammer Wednesday, May 28, 2008 @ 05:12:51 AM Boo to the Cars!!! 80's new wave sucked. I know alot of the bands i want on RB will never be on RB. So i wont even go into it. But Queen and some More Bowie would be nice. |
