I'm with Deathlove. I know GHVH and RB customs kind of killed the Van Halen buzz, but they're a great band for a plastic instrument game.

Now give me a Cake song on-disc with more as DLC, Hamronix.

If I compare the GH reveal 'Eminem' vs the RB reveal 'Van Halen', Harmonix is the clear winner to me here.

Yay Van Halen, I just wanted another song I already have from an artist I already have 23 songs from.
Maybe next we'll get Metallica...who cares that I already have over 100 songs from them?!

Can't wait for the announcement that I can finally be excited about (surely it's coming...)

I think instead they should just announce, and let people be excited or not based on their preferences. It's clear that what HMX thinks is big and people should be excited for doesn't always translate into actual excitement from their customer base.
I was excited to see Elvis, even if it wasn't a song I particularly wanted. I'm more excited for the Neon Trees song they continue to refuse to announce properly even though it was leaked a couple of months ago now.

Holding the fact that people have converted all of GH:VH against Harmonix for putting them officially in their game is stupid. It's a sobering reminder how small a minority we are because I'm sure there's plenty of people who are full on stoked to scream "PA NA MA-AA!" at the top of their lungs.

That said, I care way more about Eddie Japan. EDDIE JAPAN!

Well, my point being that GH:VH came out in December of 2009. Any die-hard Van Halen fans would have gotten plenty of play already of those songs. So announcing Van Halen like it's a huge deal to me is kinda silly.
Yes, it's new to Rock Band .That is good. But is it a huge deal? I don't think so.

I wholeheartedly disagree! I love Van Halen, but I hate most of everything that Activision has done with guitar hero, so I never bought GHVH. And I have a PS3 so I can't easily run customs.

It seems incredibly silly to me that the fact that unofficial mods did something first means it isn't exciting when it happens officially.

It's like if people complained about Roy being dlc for Smash 4 because he was already hacked back into Brawl for Project M.

The Scorpions being on disc to me is a bigger deal historically but a huge artist like Van Halen being nailed down for an on disc song and future DLC is pretty big news.

The only good thing about VH coming to RB is that it's more likely we'll get Sammy Hagar VH tracks unlike the guitar hero game

GH's fine. May actually pick up the new one just to check it out. I only have three four plastic guitars so I'm not at max capacity yet.

I just like drums more, and since they ditched that instrument (and good riddance, they were bad at it) then I'm kinda defaulting to Rock Band.

I loved drums, loved it. But only with a bunch of other people, and I am no longer a college student so I can't find pick up groups. Not your fault Harmonix!

(Plus I want to use my Ion Drum Kit and no one will let me anyway)

I can't think of a more perfect fit for Freestyle Solos than Van Halen.
