Motley Crue Single Does Better On Rock Band

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the strike-while-the-iron-is-hot dept.

Erik J writes "Remember about six weeks ago when Motley Crue and Rock Band partnered to release a new single premiering first in the game before anywhere else? Come to find out their song 'Saints of Los Angeles' was downloaded over 47,000 times on the Xbox version alone, beating out digital services iTunes and Amazon, which were tapped only 10,000 times for the single."

    This means that no one wants to listen to a poser, but everybody would like to be one.

    Look, I loved Crue back in the 80's (who didn't?) Me for one. Although I was always more into music like Pixies and punk and less mainstream. But yeah I agree with what you're sayin'. S'funny now the Crue is more a niche act now. the music I dug in the 80's, in turn, seems to get more exposure.

    Does that mean in 20 years hair bands will rule again? I'm sure the ozone is cringing.

      You ARE aware that you just pissed off everyone in France, Norway, Sweden, Germany, Denmark, Spain... and let me not start about the eastern half of Europe which has some really funny specks and dots above, below and inside letters as well.

      Just because the English alphabet only offers you 26 letters to choose from doesn't mean that's how it should be. Though I have to admit, coding with a keyboard filled with those additional letters is rather hard (ever tried writing a C program and having to use ctrl-alt-whatever to get a [ or a {?).

GWB pissed all of these countries off already by going into Iraq. What's a little more anger from the old AXIS of evil really going to do anyways? :-)

      So, as the poster was saying, only the crazies use chars not in the first 127 of ASCII.

    MrHanky is a fairly old-fashioned troll. While not being something you'd read on its own, it's very suitable for a Slashdot post. Consider "Motley Crue Single Does Better on Rock Band," filled with extremely gay comments. Very few people with any self respect will read that kind of crap, but within the context of the thread, it fits perfectly. "Why not?", an RSS reader, and mod points...perfect. Actually reading it? Not so.
