   9 Mar 2010 ~ 3:42pm _k_ How does this go with Rock Band? All I ever hear are drums and a keyboard with effects.

    All that matters is if the people that are playing have fun. The gaming does not have to present a technical masterpiece, I mean, its Rock Band.....
    
    I'm not a big top 40 fan, but a couple of drinks and a Lady Gaga sing off sounds like a pretty good time to me.

    9 Mar 2010 ~ 4:14pm kryyst I know and having the song on there doesn't in anyway effect it or not - I don't need to download it or ever use it. If other people like it it's great news for them in the same way I was really happy to see Slipknot pack 1 and other people wouldn't.
    
    However, reality aside this is the internet and the internet wouldn't be the internet without bold faced claims of superiority while sitting aloft on a pedestal passing judgment on others. So Lady Gaga on Rock Band = Lame!

    9 Mar 2010 ~ 4:56pm ardichoke Yet another "Rock" Band that I have no desire to plonk my hard earned dollars down for.

    9 Mar 2010 ~ 6:15pm primesuspect It's not a "rock band" - it's DLC

    9 Mar 2010 ~ 6:53pm ardichoke My apologies, yet more Rock Band DLC that gives me no reason to plonk down my hard earned dollars for the game... or for the DLC. Lady Gaga isn't even Rock (nor is half the music I've seen in Rock Band the few times I was around people playing it). It should be called Pop Band and instead of a guitar, drums and mic it should just come with a mixing board, you can sit and make the pop music the way they really do in the industry.
