I'll continue to not buy live versions, I don't like KISS anyway so it's not really a loss. Great to see Roy Orbison confirmed.

If these are the versions from Kiss Alive, I think you'll find that these live tracks are the versions of the song they play most on the radio. The Rock and Roll All Night cover on GH3 was based on the Alive version of the song.

In the case of Rock and Roll All Nite, though, I remember hearing the live version on the radio pretty much exclusively. I wonder if we'll be getting the same recording?

Probably grabbing both the KISS tracks and checking the charts on the Orbison stuff -- Ooby Dooby was fun as hell.

Edit: Hmm. Ninjas!

Yeah the studio version of Rock and Roll All Nite is actually pretty lame. No "I can't hear you!"s and no solo.

I don't car for Kiss at all musically, but if these two songs are half as fun on drums as the other three live Kiss songs I'll be picking them up. The last Kiss pack has three of my favorite songs to drum in the game. They were pretty damn fun on bass and guitar, too.

Roy Orbison isn't my thing, but he's still popular enough (or at least was) to deserve songs in the game, and I'll check out the charts and songs when they come out just in case.

Yeah, the differences between Kiss live and regular tracks is astounding. Not much comes close to how amazingly different it is. What immediately comes to mind for songs we've had before are the Tom Petty songs. Absolutely fantastic live. Since the Anthology came out, I dont tend to listen to anything else apart from a runthrough of Full Moon Fever.

Y'all seem to forget I live in England, where radio stations only play songs that were big hits over here. A lot of bands that were huge in America are virtually unknown here (for example, good luck trying to find a member of the general public who's heard of Chicago or Kansas). Which means no KISS, live or otherwise. Ever. Well, perhaps Crazy Crazy Nights, but that's literally all. They weren't all that successful here, the first time I heard them was in a Tony Hawk's Pro Skater game.

All of which is irrelevant anyway: I wouldn't be interested in the studio versions either, on account of the whole "I don't like 'em" thing.

Because you guys are all listening to Winchester and Oxfordshire instead, haha.

As for the DLC, I'm wondering what it will be like playing Strutter - it was one of the easiest songs in GHII, but in Rock Band with a lot of easier sons, I wonder if it will stand out. Hm...

Live versions are always hit and miss. You do yourself a disservice to declare you aren't going to buy any of them, though, because some of them really are great.

I'll take the live version of Strutter and Only the Lonely for sure. I very well could end up buying all of this.

I'll have to at least pick up the two Kiss songs to add to my pre-band GH (1-3) games setlists.

Updated the OP with video links, and with the official announcement's shell, as well as a couple notes that I've picked up.

The Roy Orbison songs will be the re-recordings from the 1987 greatest hits album.
The KISS songs are not from an album release, but are recorded from a tour. It's likely to me that they're from the same tour as 100,000 Years was.

If the two KISS live tracks turn out as fun as the last ones they'll be absolute must-buys for drummers

Gonna wait for chart vids but I'll probably get them both.

That's to be expected, the only song NOT on the greatest hits album last time was You Got It, which was also a later release

Also to be expected. Great way to bring the GH crowd over though to nab 2 of the more notable KISS Live songs


That being said, I like how the covers done for GH2 and 3 were based off of the live recordings.

KISS is good, much better than just an Orbison week. Two great picks too, Strutter for the GH2 flashback and Rock and Roll All Nite is overdue to come to RB. Sweet, 2 protar upgrades but I'd be lying if I said I didn't want Pro on Strutter.
