Ah man, I got hung up on the Franz Ferdinand songs and only now noticed two other favorites, ‘Naked Eye’ and ‘Midnight Rider’! This is a great week for me.

Wow, that’s a nice array of stuff next week. Take Me Out is always fun.

Yeah, fantastic week!
Glad I got that slammin’ grey market deal on 60,000+ Xbox Live points now, LOL.
In my largesse, I even bought Chinese Democracy, which has some surprisingly fun tracks to play.
So Take Me Out means there aren’t additional exclusivity agreements for the original GH releases in Smash Hits?
Then let’s see some more of those tracks, Harmonix!

The Allman Brothers tracks are bar none the best thing to be released for this game in god knows how long. Blue Sky is probably my new favorite track after I finally managed to get through the solo on my third try on expert.
So awesome.
Also, since we know they can seemingly get tracks from the two albums they did I’d love to see them release Hoochie Coochie Man and Melissa. Plus you know Jessica from Brothers and Sisters. Though I mean I think everyone can agree that the absolute best thing would be to see some tracks from At Fillmore East released.

Yeah, Blue Sky is awesome and probably the pick of a very solid litter of tracks this week.
Midnight rider is sort of boring-ish and short, though.
And holy FUCK is “Naked Eye” FUCKING HORRIBLE on guitar and bass. It’s just metronome strumming switching single buttons every so often on both instruments. Might be OK on vox and drums, though, but jesus… worst guitar/bass song ever. Gives So What 'Cha Want a run for its money.
Yo wumpy: Hadn’t you ever heard “Naked Eye” before? C’mon! At least watch Npean’s videos before you waste your money.

Naked Eye and Smooth Criminal are great on drums.
Blue Sky=Guitar Heaven/Drum Hell.
When I saw the Allman brothers in concert, they were the only band I’d seen live who had… let’s see, was it just two drummers or three drummers? I can’t remember now, it was a while ago, but I do believe it was three drummers. And I remember it was amazing when they just went wild at one point in the concert and had a drum triplet.

Smooth Criminal is a blast.
Just got to the new DLC tonight. Everyone saying that “Blue Sky” is pure awesome on guitar is absolutely right. I mean, it’s no “Sin Wagon,” but very few songs are.
Downloaded, but haven’t gotten to the Franz Ferdinand songs yet. With my roommates going to bed, though, I’ll have to save them for tomorrow.

Tracks for this week:
Social Distortion - Bad Luck
Social Distortion - Ring of Fire
Social Distortion - Story of My Life
Disturbed - Stricken
Disturbed - Stupify
Steely Dan - Black Friday
Steely Dan - My Old School
Elvis Costello - Radio Radio
The Replacements - Kids Don’t Follow
Nothing there that interests me, unfortunately. Well, except for Story of my Life, and mainly because I enjoyed playing that in GH3.
I can’t believe I used to like Disturbed so much. They make a great first impression. And now I can’t stand them. About seven years ago, I would have jumped for joy at the thought of being able to play Stupify.
Is there a reason why there’s more Steely Dan but not Reelin’ in the Years? I mean, Steely Dan is fine and everything, but that’s, you know, THEIR BIG SONG. And it fits with the game.
Well, there’s 10 bucks for me. I’d rather say, Reach For The Sky from Social D and Prayer from Disturbed, but it’s not like any of the picks are bad ones.
Now damn it, where’s my Dethalbum?
Funny, I’m the opposite. I used to not care for them but now I like them more and more. I’m definitely excited for Stupify.
Great news. I like both of those Disturbed songs, and Social Distortion covering Johnny Cash is definitely coming my way. The Elvis Costello song might be a good one, as well, based on how I ended up coming around to the one on the RB2 disc. See the youtubes rounded up here.
In for the 2 Disturbed songs and maybe Steely Dan and the Replacements depending on the charts.
I like Social D but I have a feeling they will be boring to play.
I’ll buy anything Elvis Costello. And I’m starting to sound like an old fart even to myself, but those Steely Dan songs sound pretty good to me too.

One of my favorite bands! My Old School should be fun to play.
It was still september
When your daddy was quite surprised
To find you with the working girls
In the county jail
I was smoking with the boys upstairs
When I heard about the whole affair
I said oh no
William and Mary wont do
