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.

    Anyone who really loved them would never have forgotten the umlaut.

    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.

    Wait wait wait... this coming from someone named after the guy who did "I'm Too Sexy?" My irony sensors are overloading.
