So, this post isn't actually about Rock Band. It's about Guitar Hero. But Robot Guitar Hero sounds a bit silly, no? Anyway, I'm not a huge fan of rap music. In fact, I very rarely use the phrase 'rap music,' because to me it's more like saying a bunch of words really fast with some overly repetetive beat in the background. (By the way, I think that sentence just put me into a very elite group of crotchety old people who want those damn kids to get off our lawns.) Apparently, Kanye West has a new single called Stronger, which "borrows" heavily from a Daft Punk track called Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger. And while I can't stand Kanye West (moreso because of his obnoxious arrogance than his music), I'm a huge fan of Daft Punk.
So I was listening to Daft Punk on the way home from work yesterday, when I realized that they would make an awesome addition to Guitar Hero. Specifically, Robot Rock from their Human After All album would be a blast to play. Keeping in mind that I know absolutely nothing about music, I think it has an amazing drum intro that would be perfect for Rock Band, but the lack of vocals on the track make it better suited for Guitar Hero. The above link goes to a YouTube video for the song, but I don't think it plays the actual music video. I'm sure you could find a sample of it easily. If I had to compare the track to something already included in Guitar Hero, I'd say it's most like the two Freezepop tracks, which also happen to be my favorite songs from both games. Heck, I might even pay 500 Microsoft points for some downloadable Daft Punk....... Nah. That's crazy.
