I guess that's fine if U2 wants a rockband, but do we get a say?

Enh, don't really care too much.

typical U2

Why is this considered newsworthy

mhm

One of the most boring bands ever

how exactly does a desire become defunct? I would think that a desire is either present or it isn't. Also, this game would suck...also, USA today is barely a step up from weekly world news

Not nearly as boring as neutral milk hotel. The first few U2 records are excellent. after that.. not so much

U2 is...

bad.

nah U2 in general is boring

I love how suddenly after a few more experimental efforts such as No Line, it's suddenly cool to rag on U2.

I would buy this.

No Line was NOT experimental. That shit was safe as milk

almost everything they did up until the millenium was quite solid and some of it classic and they are one of the biggest bands in the world because of that. if they basically use the tracklisting from their two 'best of' decade albums, i'd play this.

Milk does horrible things to the body.

We're the #1 band! We want rock band meeeeoooowwwwwwwwwww!

I'd be too bored playing it, but my dad ould love it

I'm not a huge fan of U2 but I love the fact that they have enough respect for themselves to not put themselves on a game that turns serious musicians into cartoons *cough* guitar hero *cough* and actually respects their artists (Rockband).

they're full of themselves

and they suck

they saved my marriage

cool. But they're not good anymore.

fuck em

I'm not buying this

I dont think we needed another excuse to rag on U2, 'experimental' efforts or not

almost everything they did up until the millenium was quite solid and some of it classic and they are one of the biggest bands in the world because of that. if they basically use the tracklisting from their two 'best of' decade albums, i'd play this.

A Jawbox rockband would be sweet. And would sell about 12 copies

If U2 get their own rock it'll be like opening the flood gate allowing other (shit) bands like Nickelback and Brokenycde to get their own game.

The next band specific rock band should be Raidohead and none after them.

If U2 get their own rock it'll be like opening the flood gate allowing other (shit) bands like Nickelback and Brokenycde to get their own game.

power chords+delay pedal+dickhead frontman=classic albums?

Don't compare nickelback to U2. that's like comparing the rolling stones to smashmouth. if you don't like U2, that's your own deal - you're probably too young to remember when they were significant and wrote important music (80's through 90's). yes, their last three albums were crap - but try to have some respect or just be quiet. if zeppelin were still together and making bland records, you'd probably be pissing on their career too.

milk goes bad in like a week. just saying.

If U2 get their own rock it'll be like opening the flood gate allowing other (shit) bands like Nickelback and Brokenycde to get their own game.

If the music not from the 21st century and indie it sucks

these guys are so cocky.

The only reason The Beatles and Metallica got their own games was because the profit was there. U2 may be a big band, but it wouldn't be profitable to create a multi-million dollar game just for them. Just look at Guitar Hero: Aerosmith...

I would rather watch paint dry then play this. Everything I've heard from U2 has been absolutely painful to listen to.

Talking about how boring they are is boring.

I thought they were too busy trying to buy Africa to be thinking about video games?

Guys guys guys

all the earnings will go directly to Africa.

^Which they own

YES

YESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYES

YESSSS

I came several times. OH LAWDS PLEASE SAY THIS IS TRUE

excuse me while I go outside and hug a tree/calm down a bit

I hate trends, which is why I stopped wiping my asshole.

I dont know but I'm pretty sure this would sell copies and would be one of the "profitable" band based games. However, I would not be one of the people buying it.

YEA YEA YEA YEA YEA YEA YEA YEAAAAAAA

but really, no

fuck this

It would have to come with a delay pedal add on surely?

U2 doesn't suck, but a Rock Band about them will.

typical u2

U2 and Rock Band sucks

U2 and Rock Band sucks

u2 doesn't have enough variety to make those tracks entertaining...obnoxious bastards.

dang lots of U2 hate around here.

whoops let me re-phrase that: lots of morons around here.

oh shi-

well imo, as far as music goes, they're an overrated but still impressive band that have made incredible songs, but Bonno's still a piece of shit.

whatchya got against Bono man?

U2's alright, but they hardly deserve they're own rock band.

Now they can have a guitar hero for all i care, but i actually like rock band.

U2 is great but not the band I would like a full RB game from.

whatchya got against Bono man?

bad combo

he just urkes me on how he tries to help the poor and dying kids but then spends millions of dollars on show sets whenever he tours.

U2 have some awesome tunes. I wouldn't mind this.

I actually wish they would make a U2 Rock Band. That way, all U2 related material will be together in a game that I can easily avoid

Once they saw the money made from the Beatles version, capitalism kicked in and U2 decided they would do anything or another buck.

Seriously, what's with all these fuckwits hating on U2? Sure they suck now but their first four-five albums were absolute gold. Listen to War and tell me U2 sucks so I can tell you you're an idiot

Hate to say it, but Edge is NOT a "guitar hero" by any means. Seriously. His whole career is based off different incarnations of this riff/song:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ySO-gryuO-c

I want a hoagie, but that doesn't mean I'm gonna get one

We're talking about guitar hero?

In reference to the title

Title is Rock Band ????

No one is saying The Edge is the best guitar player of any kind. He is however one of the most influential and that's NOT up for debate

Oh my god my joke is being massacred.

Title is "U2 wants Rock Band"

I said "I want a hoagie, but that doesn't mean I'm gonna get one"

Thus, just because someone wants something nice, even if their name is Bono, doesn't mean it should be handed to them like a delectable sandwich created on a roll.

"And the more people that come to shows: the more money the band gets, a lot of which then goes to all the charitable stuff Bono is involved with. "

The funny thing is, Since their new set is so over the top, the band are yet to actually make a profit from touring. But whatever, I'm not here to argue. At the end of the day you either like U2 or you don't.

U2 wants Rock Band.

My comment was in reference to Brah....

wasn't having their own ipod enough?

Haha got it, sorry, for some reason it didn't register. Same difference, to someone who doesn't play either I guess. Point stands, playing him in a game would be a little pointless; him creating the tones and effects setups is what makes him such an influential guitarist.

True, but Rock Band isn't just about playing guitar, hence my comment.
They're still a bit of a big deal for some, i'm sure SOMEONE out there would like it.
Personally I think it's a bit of a joke, unless I could hack it and make Bono's head explode

lol U2

U2 rockband would be painful

I want my own Rockband too!

"excuse me while I go outside and hug a tree/calm down a bit"

a joshua tree?

wasn't having their own ipod enough?

stupid u2

It would have to come with a delay pedal add on surely?

^this

I must have missed something cause they were only featured in ads/promo type stuff.

no, he's right. there was a limited run of the u2 ipods. black with a red wheel and the band's signatures on the back.

i think you mean in lieu of

anyway, U2.

Gotta put it in perspective.

Stopped reading about ten comments in. I can't be bothered to wade through the sea of mediocrity to find an intelligent remark. To those who said that U2 produced some solid albums early in their career, get yourself a beer.

To everyone else, you better be back in your cages when I deign to visit again.

As for the idea of a U2 Rock Band, I'd much rather have some DLC from their first few albums.

Glory Hogs.

If U2 get their own rockband it'll be like opening the flood gate allowing other (shit) bands like Nickelback and Brokencyde to get their own game.

guys

U2 don't suck

http://www.sputnikmusic.com/album.php?albumid=10205

listen to these, THEN try and tell me they suck.

I'm never ever gonna wipe my butt

scotish i've listened to A LOT of U2.
i still hate their music. im not gonna say you cant because obv. you guys get somethign outta them. i cant see it though

s'alright, but I get he feeling that there's lots of 'lol U2 suck' among people who aren't really informed.

aka they want to get the royalties.

Musically they're pretty boring, some ok stuff back in the day.
And that's me not being an uninformed dick, just dislike them with a passion.
But i'm not ragging on anyone who does like them

Haha i don't think they 'suck' by any means, I just feel like the point of those games is to show off flashy musicianship (hence the Dragonforce BS), not splendid songwriting, cool effects, or memorable songs like U2 is more known for.
And yea, Deviant, you're right, having it as a full band would certainly help its case (tho not enough for a full game IMO).

^Agreed

Great. Just great. I really don't think it will happen though.
