The entire thing.

At once.

Make it happen Harmonix!
The lack of Locomotive Breath is a black mark on Rock Band's library. I only hope that it's due to them saving it until the pro guitar was available in RB3.
The problem with Jethro Tull is that many of the master tapes are missing (my brother and I joked that they ether ate it or they smoked it) so thats the reason why you don't see much Tull or the fact that the albums where never remastered.
Hell, I'd be fine with live versions of their stuff. Saw them last year with my parents and am going back to Chicago this year to see them again.

I, for one, am glad that Guitar Hero is going the way of the dinosaur! I never understood the fascination with any of the rhythm game genre and was thoroughly annoyed when it seemed to be everywhere. You'd walk into Wal-Mart and there was a whole isle of fake musical instruments and far too many children demanding them. So, I'm sorry to rant a little there, but I'm glad its gone!

Didn't know they were coming back. If they don't fall at the same time as the IVGHOF Big Bang or Three Dog Night in Wisconsin Dells, we might have to meet up. ;)

They're playing June 26th. Tickets might be sold out already; they went on sale a few weeks ago. Three Dog Night is some good times, though. I saw them when they toured with Kansas last year.

Probably, but I remember last year there were a lot floating around StubHub for a decent price.

Also, you saw them with Kansas last year? When I went, they were with Blood, Sweat, and Tears. It may have been standing room only, but it was the best $10 I spent all year.

General Norris, I like ya alot, but this example is a failure.
This is what happens when you don't play for months :lol: (However note that I didn't mention 3 because of the Sliding).

Anyways, my point stands. Would you say that if Megaman 2 didn't have a Password System and E-Tanks it wouldn't be a "real game", but a glorified expansion pack? Would you say it was stupid to pay full price for the game when it was released?

Also: <3 U back :D

Good to hear. :) They really need to go back to the drawing board on that franchise. I'm not apposed to them releasing a new game per-say, but the franchise was stale,boring and ultimately bad in general. I didn't even get around to the last one but I heard enough to make me not want to bother. Sad when you consider how good it all started out.
You know I really liked Tony Hawk's American Sk8land. It was very arcade-y and simple, music worked, graphics were...DS quality. Although, Activision kept re-hashing the same damn thing over and over, and Every tony hawk game was worse than the one before it in my opinion. Not a bad loss for the gaming industry at all.

The whole album is this single song.

Also it's really hard to find an mp3 of the whole song. I have the iTunes version, but it's split in two AND the computer with it is back at home and not with me at college.

Well...time to go Googlin'...
my copy of thick as a brick is a cd released in the 90's by chrysalis, before the remaster, and it has one, single track. 48 minutes.

i can rip it for you if you want, but it's at my dad's house so it'll be a bit before i can get that way.
