Are we the only ones that always get 100% on vocals for “So What’cha Want”? None of us admit to knowing even 25% of the lyrics. =)

We laugh a lot when this song comes up, the vocalist, whoever it is, ends up making everyone crack up.

You don’t need to know the lyrics. Unlike Sabotage in RB1, where it was a major feat for even the best vocalists to get 3 stars with the game’s broken talkie engine, RB2’s talkie engine is so forgiving that you can mumble anything you want in So Whatcha Want and get 100% on Expert. And that’s what makes it so fun – you can go crazy doing your wackiest Beastie Boys impression and not worry about failing at all.

Same goes for Give It Away. And, in a funny way, Visions. (Just growl nonsense about how much you hate the song and it actually becomes enjoyable.)

Both Beastie Boys songs are awesome on drums, for what it’s worth.

Woah! I wouldn’t go THAT far. Visions is immune to entertainment tricks.

Basically, people who have actual, y’know, taste in music like the Rock Band 2 soundtrack.

The main setlist, yeah. But I’m thinking of deleting the 20 downloaded songs. If I could pick and choose I would go through them and see which are worth keeping, but as it is I just feel like they’re cluttering up my song list.

I feel obliged once again to point out that Wumpus has stated that he could not tell the difference between cymbal hits and drum hits until he got the cymbal add-on for his Rock Band kit. I would caution against taking seriously his ideas about what constitutes “good taste.”

ZekeDMS · 2009-02-12T14:07:07.000Z

There is a difference between good taste and knowledge, I suppose.

TriggerHappy · 2009-02-12T14:58:19.000Z

“Good taste” is entirely subjective for one.

Shadarr · 2009-02-12T15:31:50.000Z

By definition, I have the best taste in music of anyone.

wumpus · 2009-02-12T15:47:29.000Z

It’s only subjective because you’re not trying hard enough.

Yep, thank goodness for that song and being able to 100% on Expert Vocals (yum achievements!) with ease. This from a person who can not beat solo Easy Vocals campaign. =/ And yeah, it is fun to just run with the lyrics and say whatever.

Shadarr · 2009-02-12T16:02:13.000Z

I always felt kinda sheepish about getting the Flawless Singing achievement on Debaser in RB1. I’m much more content having gotten it on Sorrow in RB2. It may be an easy song, but at least you have to actually sing.

Lizard_King · 2009-02-13T08:12:11.000Z

More Human than Human, Black Sunshine, and some other song by some other band.

TriggerHappy · 2009-02-13T09:01:48.000Z

I’m all over the two White Zombie songs. High school all over again.

sluggo · 2009-02-13T09:47:34.000Z

More Human than Human

Sweeet!

ZekeDMS · 2009-02-13T09:54:38.000Z

Rawk!

I’m always up for more Zombie, maybe we’ll get really lucky and they’ll throw in Iron Head (purely for the Ozzy-Zombie crossover) or Never Gonna Stop later. Every game needs songs about A Clockwork Orange.

Adree · 2009-02-13T11:13:51.000Z

All of La Sexorcisto please.

Midnight_Son · 2009-02-13T11:47:18.000Z

Lukewarm Yay!!

Robert_Sharp · 2009-02-13T11:53:23.000Z

Damnit! Black Sunshine is just about the only song I don’t like on that album. I can’t believe that. What are the chances that they would grab the one song I don’t care about on a fantastic album? Oh well. I really like More Human, so I’ll get that at least.

I’d love if they’d release all of Sexorcisto though. I’d buy the whole thing, and then cut Black Sunshine and one or two others. But I’d play most of it. LOVE that album.

Midnight_Son · 2009-02-13T11:55:06.000Z

Last two weeks only 3 songs each. Domed!!

Robert_Sharp · 2009-02-13T11:58:40.000Z

I would LOVE I am Legend. I think that may be my favorite song on that album
