If every band got their own Rock Band game (a fun thread)

Inspired by a conversation with a friend today, when he joked that "Rock Band: Led Zeppelin would come with two guitars, a bass, drums, and a pack of condoms with Robert Plants' smiling face etched on them."

This got me thinking: what else?

Rush's version of Rock Band will come with a copy of "Ayn Rand For Dummies," of course.

Rock Band: Limp Bizkit comes with the date rape drug of your choice (though you must show ID at time of purchase).

etc etc

What else we got?

The Who rock band will be complete with cherry bombs to the drummer to blow up hotel rooms with.

unfortunately unlocking the extras on the Who game is punishable by a short jail term

same with Rock Band: Gary Glitter

No, the instruments in Rock Band: The Who are meant to be broken on impact. Replacement parts sold for $4.99 wherever Rock Band games are sold.

Rock Band: Phil Spector is actually a cleverly repurposed FPS

Rock Band: Weezer allows you to convert your Livejournal entries into original Pinkerton-era songs.

Rock Band: The Jesus and Mary Chain. The drumset only includes a tom and a snare, and the guitarists just hold their guitars up to the xbox while screaming the f-word. Total game time is about 20 minutes.

Rock Band: The Beach Boys comes with a sandbox.

Rock Band: Janis Joplin, brought to you by Southern Comfort.

Rock Band: Grateful Dead comes with an instruction manual made entirely of blotter acid.

Rock Band: Dream Theatre comes with the ability to give you your virginity back.

Rock Band: Joy Division brings you disposable razor blades

And Rockband: Pavement should come with a hoodie.

some dude hacked guitar hero to play toy dolls songs.

alas, no novelty sunglasses peripheral!

Rock Band: Gang of Four would be the first game in the series you had to purchase and couldn't just pirate, so the game would come with a great deal of irony.

Rock Band Hawkwind comes with STACIA and a parental advisory.

For some reason, you need new guitarists, bassist and drummer after every song when you play Rock Band: The Fall.

Rock Band: Bjork's "Medulla" would be an empty box.

punk rock band's controllers taze you if you play too well

Rock Band:Branca has twenty controllers and the buttons on each neck are all the same color.

Rock Band: Philip Glass comes with a list of carpal tunnel surgeons.

Rock Band: Prince will freeze if you try to take too much control over Prince.

Rock Band: Jeff Buckley needs at least one hot girl playing if it is to play at all.

Rock Band games for Vampire Weekend and the Arctic Monkeys share game of the year honors seven month before they hit stores.

Rock Band: Guns and Roses is released as a demo, and nothing more.

Rock Band: Guns and Roses...demo comes with coupon for free download of new album which takes 10 years to publish. Now your free coupon has expired and you must purchase a whole new gaming platform in order to play the new game, which sucks.

Rock Band: Nick Cave - game A comes with heroin, a bunch of loud guitars, an electric razor and a pile of scrap metal. Lots of cancelled gigs but boy the songs sure are fun to play. Game B has no heroin, no guitars and a violin instead. No cancelled gigs, everyone's healthy but the songs are kind of a snoozefest. (Game B sells well in Europe.)

Rockband Def Leppard: comes with one drumstick
BWAHAHAAHAH...

I'm out.

lol@one drum stick

You only pretend to press the instruments' buttons in Rock Band: Monkees

Rock Band: Frank Zappa is only appreciated by other video game developers.

Rock Band: Ozzy Osbourne - wife must activate the game in order for you to play.

Rock Band: Guided By Voices never plays the same song twice.

RockBand Bruce Springsteen: need eleven players to play and game play lasts 6 hours minimum

Rock Band: Led Zeppelin would be without question the greatest video game of all time.

Rock Band: Joy Division would come with some rope.

xpost: Agreed!! I would very much like to play the 20 minute live version of 'In My Time Of Dying'. And "Misty Mountain Hop" would wail.

Rock Band: Wu-Tang Clan would come with 9 mics and a glass pipe (for whoever was doing ODB's parts)

Rock Band: The Rolling Stones would never let you quit playing once you turned the machine on. Even if you were tired and bored and hadn't had any fun for several decades hours.

RockBand Bob Dylan: the point is NOT to hit the pitch marker when you're singing.

Rock Band My Bloody Valentine: 40 guitar pedals and a PA system set at maximum.

Rock Band GG Allin: you have to do more with the microphone than just sing into it.

Rock Band Pavement: You advance by playing worse.

Rock Band Syd Barrett: the notes for the song are never the same twice. Have you got it yet?

Rock Band: Einstürzende Neubauten requires that you dismantle your television & gaming console in order to make your own instruments, which is pretty cool, except for that you can't really tell if you are playing the game or not.

Rock Band Rush: 4 drum sets to place in a circle around you

Rock Band Black Sabbath:

Rock Band: Elvis comes with special receptacles to hold your cheeseburgers and pill bottles, plus a special bulletproof plexiglass protector for your TV screen

Rock Band: Herbert allows you to plug in any object.

...as an instrument

Rock Band: AP Magazine comes with hair product and features a huge roster of bands and over a thousand different names for the same exact song.

yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

Rock Band: Dr. Dre comes with one fake controller & two real ones. As you unlock more & more extras, the real controllers stop working & the game starts to sound really boring.

Conan just sort of did one one on friday:

Rock Band: Beatles will bring many people happiness for years until Rock Band: Yoko Ono breaks it up

(not exact quote)

Rock Band: Oasis come complete with combat game action where the Gallaghers can beat each other up between the gigs.

A Yoko joke, how topical!

unquestionably the hardest would be "rock band: the shaggs"

in the steve miller rock band game, when you lose, miles davis appears on the screen and calls you a "non-playing motherfucker."

rock band motley crue: permanent no-fail mode b/c band and audience are too drunk to care how badly you suck live

rock band NIN: comes with a requirement that you have a house large enough to stage the live shows. game will refuse to work with anything less than DTS surround sound.

rock band belle & sebastian: a wool cardigan and fleeting glimpses of a pretty girl in a window across the street.

rock band motorhead: small vial of lemmy's testosterone.

rock band chuck berry: really don't recommend this one.

Rock Band Milli Vanilli: Comes with people who play the game for you

Rock Band Jandek: only available by cheque from a PO Box, except random copies sent to Charlie Brooker, Emily Booth and Dominic Diamond. No pictures until Rock Band Jandek 27.

Rock Band: Justice - works even when the controllers aren't plugged in.

When you are on the verge of a perfect score in Rock Band: Taylor Swift, Kanye West interrupts you to tell you how much better Beyonce is at the game than you are; you can only complete the perfect score by crying into the microphone.

Rock Band: Spacemen 3 - comes with hypodermic application to see who can mainline the most dope. Also crossover applications with Rock Band: Keith Richards and Rock Band: Velvet Underground

the Neubauten one is the winner for me.

Rock Band Aphex Twim comes with a very old tank and a different title everytime

or Rock Band Anvil the game needs you to complete your shitty daytime job before you can play it. Only in Japan.

Rock Band: Kraftwerk essentially plays itself. You plug the controllers into each other and the Xbox decides what songs to play..

Rock Band: Ted Nugent is equipped with real firearms, bow-and-arrow, and (optional) NRA membership

Rock Band: Black Eyed Peas does absolutely nothing until you shovel a load of money in.

I would add that Rock Band: Black Eyed Peas makes you suffer through disappointingly low scores until your attractive blonde friend shows up to play.

Rock Band: Jean Michel Jarre - comes with infra-red laser harp.

(^^^ Would totally play this)

Rock Band: Radiohead comes with the ability to create your own tracks, MP3s of which are automatically sent to the editor of Pitchfork and given a 10.0 within 5 minutes.

Rock Band: Avril Lavigne comes with a marketing team who carefully manage every little detail about how you play the game. Every tiny detail.

Rock Band Pavement: You advance by playing worse.

lol

Rock Band: Jandek. Object is to play the reverse of whatever the game tells you to

Rock Band Buddy Holly: everyone has a great time playing the game, then you all die in a horrendous accident on the way home.

too soon

Rock Band: Radiohead: The gameplay lies in playing the exact opposite of what your fans expect you to play, and then get rid of them and replace them with new fans along the way. May also apply to Rock Band: Blur, only the replacing them with new fans part is toned down there.

rock band oasis: comes with a lousy counterfeit copy of rock band: beatles

I want to see this Guitar Hero: Shaggs thing happen -- someone please make it so!

Rock Band: Scot Walker. Includes a giant wooden box, a brick and a big chunk of beef.
