I imagine they'd use a version of the song equivalent to however the music video was edited. MTV music videos have typically censored lyrics way more than the radio edits, so I wouldn't expect the RB editing to be any more zealous than that.

It could go either way; I was kinda surprised that they used the radio edit for Last Resort instead of the MTV one. If we learned anything from that and the relative unfettering of Hammer Smashed Face, it's that you can sing about murdering whoever you want, however you want, which would make the removal of that mattress line a bit hilarious.

Oh, great. Third Eye Blind. I hope Harmonix's engineer had the skills to keep Stephan Jenkins from sounding like complete shit like he does live. He's gotta be one of the worst lead singers in the history of music. Him and that dumbass from Hoobastank. They're both horrible.

Here's about half a sliver more info on the Metal Track Pack:

Example lyrics given by the ESRB reveal two of the track pack's songs: "D.O.A." by Haunted and "Transmaniacon MC" by Blue Oyster Cult, a brand new addition to the Rock Band franchise. A leaked achievement list also reveals "Killed by Death" by Motorhead, "Hair of the Dog" by Nazareth, and "Master of the Universe" by Hawkwind as new songs exclusive to the pack. Considering the last Rock Band track pack debuted 13 new songs unavailable as DLC, we're confident that this new addition will do the same.

Considering how twitchy HMX has been on lyrical content, well...If they censor "bitch" on Hair of the Dog, I'll...do nothing. But that would be really stupid.

How can they censor Bitch? I mean christ I hear it on classic radio all the time like that and if old guys who listen to classic rock stations (myself not included ) aren't offended then I think it's OK.

With all the innuendo laced lyrics of the recent Spinal Tap DLC, then bitch shouldn't offend anyone. On that note, "(Funky) Sex Farm" is so entertaining to sing.

isn't there a song called Queen Bitch in the marketplace anyways?

As Made Famous by David Bowie. Yes.

RHCP's Suck My Kiss was censored...and I'm afraid to even try and download Sir Psycho Sexy, because there's no way in hell that song made it through without some cuts.

edit - just looked it up, and uh, pathetic...why even bother putting this song out there?

Also, when in doubt, just type "rock band [name of song]" into YouTube and you can almost always find a gameplay video of it... it's great for checking the edits or which version of a song they're using or whatever

in awesome Clint Eastwood and Feel Good Inc, Joplin, The Who and The Band, I'm getting everything!

Just the gorillaz here.

Pass. Again.

I would have rather had "Pinball Wizard" or "The Kids Are Alright" as another Who song.

Definitely in for the Gorillaz Pack, maybe White Rabbit too - the latter sounds like it would be awesome on drums.

Thank god for a break. After MvsC2 and the Spinal Tap pack last week I'm hurting for points. May get White Rabbit since it's not live. So sick of live tracks.

White Rabbit and Magic Bus for me for sure.

Gorillaz “Feel Good Inc.”

And the pre-emptive ing of GH5 continues. I love it!

Realistically speaking, a lot of bands probably just prefer to lump a bunch of licensing deals together in a single round, and thus we get a noticeable song overlap when two games come out around the same time. Only this time this is mostly manifested as Rock Band DLC (with a handful showing up in Lego Rock Band as well). But yeah, I still get this petty, vindictive little smile each time I see a song from GH5 show up on the Rock Band side. "Feel Good Inc." wasn't the first, and it won't be the last!

And damn, "Piece Of My Heart," some fundamental classic rock like that is a welcome addition and a pleasant surprise!

Enough with the LIVE tracks. Where are the STUDIO recordings?

Here's an odd "philosophical" poll for everyone:

Is a "LIVE" recording really the "MASTER" recording?

I would say it is not, because a "master" recording is the original one the band/artist did in the studio, not the one he/she/they performed at a concert


Well, at least I'll pick up "White Rabbit"
