Seriously, was America just too traumatized by the sight of a little girl stabbing birthday cake or something to give this song the loving that it deserved? Well, I couldn’t pull off a list like this if I didn’t give you all 120 Minutes flashbacks more than a few times throughout it all, so let’s start with another should’ve-been-bigger post-hardcore number. Not to mention the sci-fi groove in every sample and guitar lick… I realize that the loss of the keyboard peripherals means that a new wave song with a lot of synth loses a bit of its potential as a rock game classic, but damn, there was just no resisting this just based on how much essence of ’80s it had alone. Sigue Sigue Sputnik – “Love Missile F1-11” Alas, the band broke up soon after it was made, but hopefully we can still memorialize this gem.Ĥ. Feh, today’s fickle audiences…ĭespite the complaints of some fans that higher production values actually tarnished Jawbreaker’s sound, I can at least say that “Fireman” had the potential to be a classic punk hit due to its sheer catchiness alone. Wavves is one of those bands where every time I hear them, I wonder “Why the heck isn’t this band more popular?” You’d think that a shot of killer garage rock that soundtracks a tribe of junkyard-bred warrior kids straight out of Beyond Thunderdome would be massive, yet it isn’t. Although “Sleeping Giant” was already a downloadable song for Guitar Hero III, it’s still one of the greatest, trippiest, and most noteworthy metal songs of the past decade in my opinion, so it sure as hell deserves a spot here. Let’s start with the obvious question: Will either of these games have Mastodon in them? If not, then they have already failed and should hang themselves out of shame. So with that out of the way, hey ho, let’s go…
GUITAR HERO LIVE PLAYLIST SERIES
Mind you, I tend to lean towards more relatively lesser-known fare ever since Guitar Hero II kind of inspired my tastes (and I hope I don’t come off as someone like Jack Black in High Fidelity), but let’s see what my dream setlist for either of these games would look like…īy the way, one last thing before we begin: Since Harmonix wants to try and find a way to make all previous DLC in the series compatible with Rock Band 4, I decided not to include any songs that have been in a Rock Band game or have been DLC for them, since no sense demanding any songs that they’re planning to bring back anyway. Honestly, I have even more potential tracks to include waiting in the wings, but these are the first ones that sprang to mind for me. What can I say, I’m a rhythm game fan, a veteran of all the main games in both series, a fairly big music fan (though not as good an expert as Bryce or Luke), a disc jockey from my university days, am kind of obsessive, and so forth.
I kid, but I am pretty excited to experience these games again, and extremely curious as to what songs I get to jam out to this time around, as you can see by the…um, rather large number in the title there (don’t expect descriptions here that are too detailed, unsurprisingly).
