Any of you who have heard both

1. The Album Version of "Last Resort" by Papa Roach
2. The Rock Band version of the same song

Didn't they kick the original drummer out or something? This is probably a re-recording so they don't have to pay that dude, or some kind of schenanagins similar to that.

Papa Roach is fucking terrible.

"Papa Roach is fucking terrible."

I didn't post this thread to bitch about music tastes, I posted it so the Giant Bomb community and those that did like Papa Roach, or at least have an interest in downloading this song, will know its a pretty bad demo recording. There are enough "XXXX Musician sucks" threads on the internet.

Also, that is a good point Megalon, but it wouldn't really be that as they got a track from the brand new album as well.

Ugh, that is one bad band.

"Hopefully more people can hear about this before buying the song and save themselves the cash or even more hopefully Harmonix will acknowledge the problem and decide on a solution, whether it be re-release, refund or tell people to deal with it, I'd really like them to explain the situation to the Rock Band loyals."

i was super excited when i saw this song hit the store, bought it straight away and started playing it, but i had to stop playing halfway, i was so disgusted with the version. it would be great if harmonix were to reissue a radio edit version, but that's not likely to happen, so i'm just hoping for at least an explanation.

Unless Harmonix actually said that it would be the album version of the song, then I don't see a problem.

We didn't get the album version of Dead Kennedy's California Über Alles either, but I'm not complaining. I'm just thankful any version of the song made it into Rock Band."

They had a 100 page thread on this over at Rockband.com


HMXSean has stated that they are looking into this issue.

if I remember correctly there was actually two threads, one which was 100+ pages which got locked, and then another that gets bumped occasionally. Honestly I don't think we'll ever get an answer, and everyone should shut up about it."

Well, I guess I should say we didn't get the version that came on their Fresh Fruit album."

Yeah, we got the Give Me Convenience or Give Me Death version. Personally I like it better then the Fresh Fruit version."

Now you have to play a bad version of a HORRIBLE song? Whatever will you do?

Am I the only one who likes that song?? :(

I'm not a huge Papa Roach fan but I still enjoy that song a lot.

"Am I the only one who likes that song?? :(I'm not a huge Papa Roach fan but I still enjoy that song a lot."

Yeah, that is a great song, and I'm furious about the Rock Band version as well... I wish I could get my money back. Guess I could had previewed it, but I thought I knew what I was buying.

I can totally understand your frustration.  I mean, it's almost fake advertising, what with the album cover being different and all.  I highly doubt anythings going to change, though.

There is one HUGE flaw in all these protests about song versions.  There is a frickin preview button that allows you to here some of the song before you buy it in Rock Band's music store.
