First Song’s Announced For ROCK BAND

July 6th, 2007 · No Comments

“Of the eight listed songs, an impressive six are drawn from the master tapes of each band’s original recording: The Who’s “Won’t Get Fooled Again,” David Bowie’s “Suffragette City,” Weezer’s “Say it Ain’t So,” Nirvana’s “In Bloom,” The Hives’ “Main Offender,” and, for that extra bit of cowbell, Blue Oyster Cult’s “Don’t Fear the Reaper”

The remaining two tracks, Black Sabbath’s “Paranoid” and Mountain’s “Mississippi Queen,” will be performed as covers, in line with most of the music used in Harmonix’s previous Guitar Hero games.”

First Video Of Rock Band for XBOX 360!

July 5th, 2007 · 2 Comments

This is the first video I have come across on the new game Rock Band. The concept is exactly like guitar hero almost, but you can actually put together a band, in various parts of the world. Using the guitar, drums, bass, ect. Video isn’t great, but that part comes at the end, the first part is about another concept they are creating on a virtual world. The guitar they will be using is shown below, with link to video.

Soprano’s Finale: Final Minutes

June 11th, 2007 · No Comments

Ending with a song “Don’t Stop Believing” by Journey could be a genius song for an ending to a great show like Soprano’s…

Just a small town girl, livin in a lonely world (Here’s where they could have shown what happened with MeadwShe took the midnight train goin anywhere
Just a city boy, born and raised in south detroit
He took the midnight train goin anywhere

A singer in a smokey room
A smell of wine and cheap perfume
For a smile they can share the night
It goes on and on and on and on

Strangers waiting, up and down the boulevard
Their shadows searching in the night
Streetlight people, living just to find emotion
Hiding, somewhere in the night

Working hard to get my fill,
Everybody wants a thrill
Payin anything to roll the dice,
Just one more time
Some will win, some will lose
Some were born to sing the blues
Oh, the movie never ends
It goes on and on and on and on

(chorus)

Dont stop believin
Hold on to the feelin
Streetlight people

But alas it wasn’t used to it’s potential… so here is a place where we feel the song was better put to use:

ALL MUSIC FROM FINALE:

Vanilla Fudge - “You Keep Me Hangin’ On”
Tony wakes up; Dante drives Tony to his family; Phil fills up.

Randy & The Rainbows - “Denise”
Tony and Paulie wait for Agent Harris at the airport.

Sonic Youth - “I Dreamed, I Dream”
Tony and Uncle Pat talk in backroom of The Bing.

Curtis Lee - “Pretty Little Angel Eyes”
Paulie is spooked by a cat at Satriale’s.

Credence Clearwater Revival - “I Heard It Through The Grapevine”
Tony offers Paulie a promotion.

Larry Graham - “The Jam”
Neil bears bad news in The Bing backroom.

The Noisettes - “Scratch Your Name”
AJ leaves work and picks up Rhiannon from school.

Kid Creole & The Coconuts - “The Lifeboat Party”
