Also Anything For Love is on Singstar on Playstation so maybe there is hope!

A Track pack would be awesome, it wouldn't surprise me actually now you mentioned Guns N Roses (Well Axl Rose and some Paid Musicians :P) and Metallica.

If they did do one I wonder what songs would be in it, a track from HCTB obviously but I wonder if there would be more from the same album or more of a 'Best Of' deal.

I wonder what Meats thoughts actually are on the games themselves and if he would like to see them have his music on there? I know he's not a fan of downloads it seems but it'd be interesting to hear or see what he has to to say about this sort of thing.

melon · 03 Apr 2010, 06:49

I would actually go out and buy the console and game just for Meat if he had songs on the game, I don't play playsation games and stuff anymore, I used to all the time though.

robgomm · 11 Jul 2010, 11:30

Just thinking there are so many Rock Band games out there, and one thing that keeps pissing me off is that there are no Meat Loaf songs on any of the Rock Band games. I keep writing to them but they insist they have nothing against putting Meats music on there, but I don't believe them because I know tons of people have requested his songs on there.

So I think he should do his own one, who doesn't want to strum, drum, and sing along to BOOH and the hundreds of other songs he's done? Also it would introduce him to a new market of people including a younger audience, which could only be a good thing.

jcmoorehead · 11 Jul 2010, 20:42

I think the issue with Meat music not being on the games might be more down to the record label themselves I know sometimes the labels can be a bit dodgy about it.

Personally like you I'd love to see his music in Rock Band, I'm a huge fan of the series. I'm sure the developers must have thought about it and if the label/he isn't already away then I think it might be a good idea for someone to let him know there is actually demand for it and maybe he could get the ball rolling on having some of his songs released on there.

melon · 13 Jul 2010, 12:52

I don't have any gaming consoles..... mainly due to a lack of time, but if I knew of a game that had Meat's songs on it, I'd be out buying whatever I needed that day.

Even if it involves handing over $300 in one day? That's what a true Loafer would do alright.

I agree though computer consoles are extremely time consuming....I hope what ever he releases comes out on the Xbox360 it's the only one I have.

Yep, whats money anyway, can't take it with ya

My 12 year old nephew went with me to the show last night and met Meat too. He has learned BOOH on the acoustic guitar. Meat and my nephew had a nice conversation about it.

Then Meat informed him that Guitar Hero won't put BOOH on it because of the numerous chord changes and it's too complicated. So, I learned a little bit in that 5 minute discussion. Of course it was my nephew's moment so I didn't ask about alternate songs....but I suppose until the gaming industry can support BOOH's complicated chord changes, we'll have to take this one off the list for now.

Just thought I'd share,

Very good lodgick right here

I didn't even realize there was a Guitar Hero/Rock Band thread until it popped up under new posts. I really must explore further into the archives.

I love both games and it is disappointing to hear BOOH may not appear on a game. I would love to play Pigs or Madness. That would be awesome!!

Best Guitar Hero moment - playing Metallica and Rage Against the Machine

Waiting for - Anthrax, Megadeth, Meat Loaf

robgomm · 15 Jul 2010, 20:04

That's really sad that Bat won't go on a game, but surely there are plenty of other ones that aren't as complicated that could go on?

Took the words is very simple. In the US its probably meats best known tune other then Paradise

jcmoorehead · 15 Jul 2010, 23:05

Is that just for Guitar Hero or for Rock Band as well? Just because Rock Band has Dream Theater and Rush in its tracklists and these are two bands that have quite complex music. I appreciate that came from the man himself but I have heard songs on Rock Band that are quite complex if not more so then BOOH.

I think one of the best songs really for Rock Band would be Lemon, it's very guitar driven, got a good riff and great solo's in there. There is also the stuff from HCTB too to consider.

Not sure about Anthrax but there is a considerable amount of Megadeth on Rock Band they have the entire Peace Sells album and Rust In Peace.

Thanks for that. Hopefully then we can hear something about Rock Band then. The Guitar Hero franchise has seriously gone downhill since Harmonix left to make Rock Band and Activison decided to go all one game a year so hopefully we can hear something from the Harmonix side.

I actually did e-mail Harmonix about this, I doubt I'll get a reply but I just wanted some clarification on if a song like Bat would be too complex for them to put into the game.

considering what they're tackling with RB3, I think not. Your supposed to actually be able to learn and play the guitar, drum, keyboard parts to songs in the game, and then pick up a real instrument and play them. Pretty ambitious if you ask me. I cant wait!

You mean the optional pro mode? Yeah I'm quite excited for that, I actually wrote a bit about it on my gaming blog. The idea is that you can buy optional instruments for it one of which is a very nice looking Fender guitar which serves as an actual guitar you can plug into an amp and play and also you can use in game to play along to the actual songs with. Yeah it will teach you how to play the actual instruments, it is really ambitious.

However I don't think it decreases the chances of Bat being in or a part of a release for Rock Band. The tracklist is already boasting Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen and Roundabout by Yes so I don't think Bat would be too complex for the guys from Harmonix.

EDIT: Oh and that was my 500th post, has only take me about 7 years to get it.

Gratz on the 500th. and having been a musician for years, its nice to see that this may finally inspire more to start playing.
