The Siblings picked up RB: Metallica, and I have been doing my job as designated Singer. My fingers are too stiff to play guitar or bass, and I am not coordinated enough to drum, so I get the mic. I've gotten the hang of it, and as I said to What, I would have killed for this game 20 years ago in High School. I was a huge Metallica fan, and this has a ton of great tracks from back in the day. The guys look odd though, now that they have been caricatured, Or as I like to call them: Cro-mag, Capt. Jack Sparrow, Coke-puppet, and Pippi Rockstocking.
I wish there were more Misfits/Danzig on this, and that they had put in Whisky in the Jar or Jailbreak instead of The Boys are Back in Town. Also , given Moterhead's history they could have included something more recent than Ace of Spades (something off Inferno maybe? Fight? All in the Name of Tragedy?) Until I am running my own game empire, I can't really complain.
We have all the retro/zombie guys unlocked, and will likely pop back into RB2 soon (Go Hogwazzers!) as there are a few new songs we need to improve on, as well as some old ones we can rank up on. Hitting/holding the last note on
Painkiller without stopping has been a highlight of the game for me so far (Can't... Stop... The... Paaaain-Kill-aaaaaaaaaaaauuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuh PAIN!) and one that will be hard to duplicate unless I start practicing it again.
