5/5 DLC - Franz Ferdinand, Allman Bros, Prong, and More!

Having watched the videos, I think I might get everything. To be fair, I was only going to leave the Franz Ferdinand pack, but they don't look too bad... and my mates will go mad for 'em when we're doing the drunken band thing.

Also, y'know I'm not normally a fan of difficulty, but I'm gonna play the shit out of Idealistic Types - partly 'cos it's a great song but mostly because it looks like a great workout on a variety of skills.

NOOOO!!! Why did they use the shittyass remix of Naked Eye?

Regardless, I will get every track from this week once I have points. I'm still roughly 3 weeks behind

EDIT: Wow. From what I've seen, this is the best overall drums week in a LONG, LONG time.

For anyone looking for drums or vocals charts, Corporal Gregg has his usual multi-instrument videos up, although he didn't buy all the songs this week. OldPsy has vocal videos of everything and drum videos of the Prong songs and one of the FF songs. It looks like he might be putting more drum videos too.

The Banishment and Smooth Criminal both look pretty awesome on drums. Smooth Criminal has a lot of cool stuff going on, and Banishment has some interesting patterns and a reasonably fun looking solo.

Both Prong songs seem like they might be undertiered on drums though. I haven't played either, but they both look like solid tier 5s to me, especially Idealistic Types.

Yikes, the last word of Do You Wanna being sung differently isn't that big of a deal, is it? O_o

I kind of like the last "yeah" in do you want to. Being a gigantic super mega insane-o franz ferdinand fanboy (much moreso than most of the people here, even if they like franz, I can imagine), it seems like exactly the type of thing they'd do. Make this huge build up ending in a terrible anti-climax, just for shits-n-giggles.

Of course, what do I know? I know the original version (or at least the well known version) has the climactic "YEEAAAAH" at the end, but I like this version too. =P

Damn, I need a video of Drain The Blood on drums. I've already seen the drum charts for every other song, but what about the Distillers? D=

Allman Bros songs are a blast to play on guitar, where the hell is Jessica?

everything else is fun, havent played Prong yet, looking forward to it

For Hard guitar, Blue Sky is the definitel winner this week IMO. It took me half a dozen times to FC it. The fact that it sounds a lot like Jessica doesn't hurt either.

Smooth Criminal is a blast on hard drums (I failed Expert at 74%). I played it (on hard) over and over until I got the FC.

Smooth Criminal OMB FTW (yes, on hard).

The Prong songs have most of their teeth removed in the hard charts. In fact, I easily FCed the level 6 one on my sightread. They sound great though and were still fun to play. If you're looking for a challenge on hard guitar though, you won't find it here.

All in all. This was a great week for DLC Whores (nothing remotely bad at all).

I managed to use a friend's 360 to DL these songs (mine is red-ringed), but all I can say is...

what a perfect day to be home sick from school!
(no sarcasm)

I can't play drums (drumset busted), which is a shame, but these songs are great. Even the less interesting guitar/bass songs (naked eye and drain the blood) are great to listen to IMO. Naked Eye is a totally unexpected and random addition to the game. I never thought we'd see 90's dance-pop in this game. Now if only they'd release "groove is in the heart" so I could play that sexy bassline.

Smooth Criminal is obscenely fun on drums. In the top 5 charts of all time, for sure. I had never given Alien Ant Farm the light of day, passing them off as generic mainstream rock/pop-punk with a sort of "Papa Roach-iness" about them that put me off, but this song made me check again.

Looking up some of their singles on YouTube, I think just about everything they put out would be great in Rock Band. Ultimately they're just catchy fun, but they back it up with some really interesting touches, instrumentally. This Mike Cosgrove guy is a mad scientist on the drums.
