Screenshot or it Didn’t Happen: Oasis in Rock Band
I remember the good ol’ days of Rock Band when Harmonix would let us know a whole month ahead of time to what tune we were to surrender our wallets. We’ve been flying at the seat of our thrones for the past couple of weeks, finding out what’s next only a few short days before release and that’s if we were lucky. Justin over at NeoGAF spotted a shot in the dark today and one that’s no longer there! Crap! Well, for those who missed it, here’s what’s on the horizon for Rock Band-

Oasis Pack includes songs by Oasis including “Don’t Look Back in Anger,” “Live Forever,” and “Wonderwall”Week of January 29, 2008
Progressive Pack includes “Siva” by Smashing Pumpkins, “Working Man” as made famous by Rush *, and “Ten Speed (Of God’s Blood and Burial)” as made famous by Coheed and Cambria *
Could they have possibly have picked a more obscure Pumpkins song? In other news, Tiff and I discovered the secret to the universe. Why don’t you go swing on a star and find out.
[Update] I was chatting with Chris Grant about this and he pointed out that while the information is gone, it still mentions Oasis right at the top. Classy!

Siva! Not even joking: that might be the one to push me over the Rock Band edge. The drums after that last breakdown? SO FUN I BET.

What would be absolutely cool is to have some Third Day. Third Day, you are thinking? Why have a Christian Band at all? Because songs like “Rockstar” which are not overtly Christian would be really fun to play.
Chorus lyrics…
I wanna be a rock star
But I ain’t got what it takes
The drive and the determination
And the lucky breaks
I wanna be a rock star
But I ain’t got the face
I wanna be a rock star
But I ain’t got what it takes
Check this song out… It is really that good!!!
There’s always a fine line to walk with stuff like that … by stuff I don’t mean Christian music, but I mean rock songs about rock songs. Take “Guitar Hero” from, uh, Guitar Hero for example. It’s like when they introduced the song “Dance Dance Revolution” into DDR. It’s like, “Yes! I am rocking! I understand this!”
