Thanks for your service, Alex!

Playlist volume 6. https://open.spotify.com/playlist/3sGDoH1480oagBcjBxPS8G?si=giwq_uK4S1qqi1rxG7dTIg

I like the country songs... *shrug*

Hell yeah Alex!

@omgfather: I liked a few of 'em! Willie's an all-time favorite and the Dixie Chicks are mad fun. I just can't get behind the Paisleys and Rascal Flatts of the world.

Jeez you are a monster Alex.

@slow_pc: Thanks man! Was busy the past few days :)

I love Snoop Dogg.

Agreed on maybe not needing to include "Sir Psycho Sexy" in the game. That final verse is uh, quite something. I do like how the RB version just sort of trails off immediately and becomes an instrumental for the next 30 seconds.

I wonder how many people would even have noticed if they just didn't include anything past "Under The Bridge" on the album.

I hate modern country music, but Darius Rucker's stuff is pretty damned good.

@nameredacted: Give Orville Peck a shot. He's doing some really solid, classic-country feeling stuff.

Thank you so much for these streams @alex. They've been so fun, and the live chat has been great to hang out with during. This one in particular was great for watching while I drove some trucks across Europe. Road Trip!!

Chill truck streams , I would miss. Hope they can continue. Also, drumming streams.

I know this was in the chat, but obligatory 'What is the hardest metal known to man?' reference for comment section prosperity.

I appreciate how Alex redesigns the band members for each stream. Stong late-2000s UK indie rock energy from those folks!

A nice list of songs there only thing missing is Gary Numan's Cars, Shame Rockband doesn't have that one.

I watched it back, that recovery from losing the stick was so quick and flawless. You DEFINITELY woulda had the 5 star.

I apologize as an Ohioan for Rascal Flatts, @alex. There are much better groups and musicians that are deserving of songs or more of their songs in Rock Band than Rascal Flatts.

"Don't touch the Yngwie". Good advice. You know he might "release the fucking fury" or "riliis de fakking fyoori" as it were. 😆

Nice work on The Wagon by Dinosaur Jr! Love that song!

That Rascal Flatts song is the guiltiest of pleasures for me.

i like the guitar wolf cover of brand new cadillac better :]

That last song jebus, what a cacophony. It's not fun to listen to, I wonder if Alex has fun playing it.

Right!?!?! Why put the Rascal Flatts version of that song when the Tom Cochrane version is miiiiiiles better!!

@nameredacted@alex I'm way behind on videos, but...

Also recommend Opry Country Classics, which (in normal times) they do every Thursday night. It's a mix of old classic artists and new artists that play in the classic style. There are years worth on their Soundcloud: https://soundcloud.com/user-971423658

(The last episode before the pandemic was March 12, and then continuing back every Thursday before that.)

Love Orville Peck. Was lucky enough to see him live. Can't recommend him enough.

@nameredacted@alex oh hey, here's a playlist of just the Country Classics shows https://soundcloud.com/user-971423658/sets/opry-country-classics
