FUUUUUUUU

fun

Not really all that familiar with Jimi Hendrix's music, just never been a big fan, but I'll give it a listen. At least they're doing something big for the milestone.

What the... jeez, why must they make me still spend money on Rock Band 2...

This makes me wonder why Guitar Hero World Tour used the live version of Purple Haze.  I though that version sounded like garbage, and this release shows that the original is available.
 
edit: nevermind, updated the main post.
edit-edit: Nope, turns out they're using the studio version of the song.  Very strange.

Woo for 2,000 songs. Anyone know if these will be Pro-Guitar compatible?

Good stuff.

 

Oh my god...are they going to put Jimi Hendrix's entire discography??
 
If the answer is yes, then FUCKING AWESOME!!!
 
I believed Axis: Bold as Love to be one of the must have full albums on Rock Band (along with Moving Pictures, Rust in Peace, Texas Flood, and some others I can't remember off the top of my head) so this should be great!
I just wonder though, what happens to Fire if you already own it from the LEGO Rock Band export??

Awesome! Need to get some of these songs.

*cough* Ten, and Backspacer *cough*  JK. I'll accept that not everyone would want those entire albums. Those people are wrong though! They're great, dammit! :P "

Well, I'm going to have to get this. It's a great album, should be fun to play.

Hendrix is all cool, but C'mon EA. Give me a good reason to use my drums. Give me something difficult. Something heavy. Like Trivium, Daath, or... Dethklok.

You know something ironic??
 
Fire (Live) is not playable on LEGO Rock Band yet the master recording is actually IN THE GAME.  I wonder why...anyone notice??

That's not really ironic :). Just absurd. Kinda like how The Metal by Tenacious D is classified as "Rock", not "Metal" :)

Are you being serious? The Jimi Hendrix Experience tracks are some of the most challenging drum songs in Rock Band. Do you know who Mitch Mitchell is? Hide your head in shame, sir. Also, Trivium are about as heavy as Avenged Sevenfold. Which is to say, they are not heavy at all :) "
