Fake Band News: Rock Band Unplugged and Guitar Hero 5
I’ve been living under a gaming rock. I had no idea that Rock Band was coming out in portable form, but it is under the title of Rock Band Unplugged. Now the interesting part is that the set list has nine songs that are exclusive to the game for a limited time, meaning they should become available on regular Rock Band. What are they?
Audioslave - “Gasoline”
Black Tide - “Show Me the Way”
Freezepop - “Less Talk More Rokk”
Tenacious D - “Rock Your Socks”
3 Doors Down - “Kryptonite”
Alice in Chains - “Would?”
Blink 182 - “What’s My Age Again”
Jackson 5 - “ABC”
Jethro Tull - “Aqualung”
Yeah, there’s some real must haves in here. You can’t go wrong with Tenacious D, though there are other songs I’d rather play by them. I’m really excited for “Would” and yes, I’d love “ABC” just for the casual crowd fun factor. As far as the actual portable version of Rock Band? Meh. I prefer my pretend instruments to be large and attached to a huge TV, thank you.
Not to be outdone in the news department, Guitar Hero 5 details have finally emerged as well. According to 1up, the game will feature 85 new master tracks with plenty of artists that haven’t appeared in a music game before. The sample set list released so far has some pretty good picks:
“Sympathy For The Devil” by The Rolling Stones
“All Along The Watchtower” by Bob Dylan
“Blue Orchid” by The White Stripes
“No One To Depend On (LIVE)” by Santana
“A-Punk” by Vampire Weekend
“Runnin’ Down a Dream” by Tom Petty
“Ring Of Fire” by Johnny Cash
“Sex On Fire” by Kings of Leon
I’ve always said, you can’t go wrong with Rolling Stones.
