The rumors are true, a Green Day 3 Pak coming July 7th. The songs are from the new CD, 21st Century Breakdown: "Know Your Enemy", "21 Guns" and "East Jesus Nowhere".
In honor of that, the song lesson is the first song I learned on Guitar, "Holiday".
Main Riff is super easy, just power chords:
G|-10-10-10--6-6-6-13-13-13--8-8-8-8-
D|-10-10-10--6-6-6-13-13-13--8-8-8-8-
A|--8--8--8--4-4-4--11-11-11--6-6-6-6-
Strum in a blues rhythm.
Hardest part for me is the bridge, since I always forget it:
G|-------------6----8-----|-----------8-----10-|
D|3-3---6-6-6-8-8-10-|3-3---6-6-8-10-10-|
A|3-3---6-6-4-8-6-10-|3-3---6-6-6-10--8-|
E|1-1---4-4----6----8-|1-1----4-4----8-----|

My Greatest Moments In Rock Band (and Guitar Hero)
Yeah, yeah, I got one of three possible songs comin' down the pipeline, with two more originals to post, but I figured I'd make this worth it.
Might as well spoil what I have left of the RB update:
-This Post
-Green Day "Holiday"
-Other Tier 5 song update.
-Logo/Banner
The tabs will be put up as I find time, a little bit with each update.
Anyway, I got to thinking: smell is the sense most tied to memory, right? What about music? I figured it would be worth it.
-One I already posted about, my 21st birthday. To recap, everyone played Rock Band, most for the first time, and my 4 year old niece tried out the drums. She failed, and I was more upset than charmed, but then again I'm not at that age where the pinnacle of my life is to watch a baby. Still it was nice to have everyone playing and the whole point of Rock Band is the group dynamic, with everyone keeping each other in time. But most important was everyone coming in to my world, in a sense, and common ground. I don't really follow sports, so it was nice to gather around some rock n' roll.
-There was also the time I first played GH and the DigitalLife Expo. First off, with the DLE, the entire cost around 20 bucks, tickets and food for 4, seriously. Second, I remember seeing an ad to have your song in the Guitar Hero game contest, and I didn't think it would go anywhere, just sort of have this little niche appeal like DDR. Then I actually got my hands on one and took a look at the setlist. I've heard all these songs, I know all these songs, and it was a big imporvment going from Amplitude's control scheme to something more real.
Plus I got to see other new games (at the time, this was 2005) like Star Wars Battlefront 2 and Marvel vs. Some Idiots EA made up.
-Me and my girlfriend were playing "Won't Get Fooled Again", and made out through the entire organ solo. I don't think I should have to elaborate, but as a sidenote I find it refreshing when a girl actually has a taste in music, and can explain why she likes it, instead of just going along with the Top 40.
-The first night I brought Rock Band 1 (PS2) home, I got my friend and little brother, and we played for a few hours, getting pretty far along the setlist. The joking around, humiliating ourselves singing, and I learned something that night. My friend can be pretty gay while singing "Ballroom Blitz".
So, there you have, a short little filler. Tomorrow, I'll try and have a song lesson for ya.

Beatles Rock Band Looks Epic
I mean, the opening cinematic alone shows how much effort they put into this. While I'm sure Neversoft would have put in a good effort if the music went to Guitar Hero (they collaborated on a venue with Tool to have 3 of their songs in the game), I don't think they could pull off anything like this.
It's not like AC/DC or The Clash or any of the bands I'm usually a fan of, so I can't say which songs "be better be in there". If I've heard of it, chances are good it'll be included in the setlist. My only disappointment so far is that George Harrison's "Wah-Wah" won't be included as a bonus song.

SPY'S SAPPIN MY UPDATE!!!
The update foreshadowed in the "Won't Get Fooled Again" update is that I havbe completed a song (thematically) about the Spy from TF2. Well, not yet anyway. The bassline it revolves around is laid out, and all I have to do is layer the guitar over it. However, it's too late for all of that right now, so consider this a space saver.
Also one about the Sniper coming down, as well as "Epic" by Faith No More.
Been busy looking for a summer jorb.
