*ahem*
Gwen Stefani SUCKS.
That is all.

Infradead

As soon as I heard that ND (and not just any ND, but Tragic fucking Kingdom) was making an appearance, I broke down and wept. Because I live on the Old Continent and have yet to get Rock Band, and Activision has managed to hit me at my weakest point (first concert, amongst...other firsts) I may actually cave in and buy this...as soon as my guitars get back from the shop.

LoopyChew

"Sunday Morning" is an awesome, awesome song. "Spiderwebs" would be my next choice.

goldarsun

@HigglyPiggly: Why did I read that? Now I'm seeing John Waters.
I'm going to go cry now.
@set89: I want my K-O-T-A-K-U! So when will they stop showing games?

Erwin

I thought this was Kataku.com not MTV.COM.

set89

AND WHERE IS SUBLIME!?!!?!?!?

cybereality

@Capp: Yeah, I feel the same way. GHIII has a few decent tracks, but they really need some classics. I figure the really stuff just can't get licensed. But then again, Rock Band seems to have no problem getting quality tracks. What bothers me the most is how they get decent artists but then they don't pick the track they know everyone wants.

I would pay good money if activision wants to do a guitar hero with some *real* ska (the specials, the selector. etc.) or even some newer poppy stuff like the might mighty bosstones. Some good skate punk (pennywise, nofx, face-to-face, newer stuff on victory records, etc,) or some hardcore tracks would be appreciated too. And where the hell is Offspring? Please Activision, I want some "come out and play" action. Come on, who the hell wants the Aerosmith expansion? Seriously.

cybereality

IT HAS A MUSTACHE

HigglyPiggly

@Admonisher:

Ska Poser music? I haven't heard anyone talk like that since middle school... and that was in 1997! (and it's not for lack of trying.. I've been in a Ska band for the past 5 years)

But some ska in tracks would make me actually buy guitar hero..

how about some ska songs in rock band?

We could get some Goldfinger, Reel Big Fish, The Hippos, Suicide Machines! I could go on forever.

That would rock so hard.

Grocerspride

@Aeralindor: Yes Please. Hows abouts maybe Aquabats? NOFX? Arrogant Sons of Bitches?

Redface, The Dark Messiah of Justice

@CockroachMan: In order for Led Zeppelin to end up in rock band or guitar hero, they would have to pry the master tracks out of Jimmy Page's cold dead hands.

I love me some Zep, but to quote Mindless Self Indulgence, "I Hate Jimmy Page"

Dauragon C. Mikado

Ouch....I seriously hope that NONE of this lame Ska poser music comes to Rockband. No Doubt? Seriously? I mean Who listens to a No Doubt song and thinks...GUITAR HERO!!! YEAH!....

On second though I do see why it would make sense on rockband...its a party game and you want music that everyone can enjoy...but why the F is this on Guitar Hero....the guitar parts are so LAME!!!!

I'm glad I didn't buy GH3 and have to be stuck with uber lame offerings like this.

Admonisher

No Doubt would be better for rock band IMO.

There better be some Hella Good coming to RB soon.

Dauragon C. Mikado

Its days like these I wish I hadn't bought the PC version of GH3. I love Tragic Kingdom! It's my favourite No Doubt album =\

NobleArc, The Lazy Canadian

With her ridiculous fetish for Japan, I can't wait for her to try out Ganguro.
That should finish her off, professionally of course.

Erwin

I wouldn't pay 5 points for No Doubt songs... Way to fail me again, Activision.

Legendary GIR

I would prefer to have em' for Rock Band... *sigh*

Han Daimond

500 points? No way.

CanaryWundaboy

Man. Activision is blowing out loud with the songs they are picking.

Who the fuck do they have choosing songs anyway? Some idiot with lack of taste for music? I mean COME ON now...

Do they have official guitar hero forums? Because frankly, I'm NOT impressed.

*sadpanda*

xMaverick

No Doubt as a band are great, Gwen Stefani as a Single Artist, HORRIBLE!!!

Punk Ska for the win, although yeah...I would probably prefer Spiderwebs and Just a Girl than Excuse Me Mr.

kingme

@Bigfoot: QF-fricking-T. Although Rock Band would be preferable. Really, almost any of their albums would be fantastic.

BuckTwenty

Yes, because when I think about rock, I think about Gwen Stefani.

PurpleMonkey

i almost died when i read this, just couldn't believe it. ran to purchase & play right away. hands down the best dlc of rock band or gh3 for me and my friends, gigantic fans of tragic kingdom since the day it came out. we're totally enthralled, absolute perfection.
so here's an ecstatic yes vote from one person to counter the continuous whining of many in dlc posts.

bagelskate

I love No Doubt! Don't Speak and Sunday Morning are good choices, I would have liked to see Bathwater. And I would like to see it on Rock Band.

rogueslayer0

I had a hell of a crush on her back in her No Doubt days. I listened to every song on Tragic Kingdom and knew just about every word.

I even wrote her a fan letter once about how much I really liked her.

Then I threw it out before I sent it, because I thought to myself, 'What are my chances with a girl like her?'
Or maybe it was just because it seemed a little creepy, like 'I'm stalking you and watching you right now through your window while touching myself' creepy.

I was a young kid with raging hormones, sue me!

@iameleveneight:

No, I don't have a mullet. I am a business professional with a short hair cut and a suit. I just know what good music is and what Rock is and No Doubt is neither.

Oh, And Gwen is gorgeous from the chin up. Her body is built like a surf board: Flat on front and back and no curves on the sides. Its like looking at a 9 year old with a models' head stuck on the body.

Capp

For the first time I am jealous of Guitar Hero owners. Rock Band is far and away the better game. However, Tragic Kingdom is an amazing album and I would kill for some good ska in Rock Band.

StrikerObi

@KaneRobot: Then I need to find these 14 year old boys.
Maybe I should rephrase that.

Erwin

@Capp:

Haha you have a mullet don't you?

iameleveneight

Wait wait wait...

SKA?! HOLYFUCKNUGGETS BATMAN!

I don't care if its No Doubt, thats actually a pretty good album and those songs are fun. Wow they actually are releasing new Guitar Hero songs that aren't an advertisement for other games (yes the Aerosmith songs counts).

Cool.

iameleveneight

@KaneRobot: I don't know where you are from.

nxp3

I'm staying quiet to avoid Banhammerin.

Project Thanatos

how bout a full body pic next time?

koosh

No spiderwebs? That song rocks! why wouldnt they put it in there?

LemonproX

@Capp:

Thank God I'm not the only person to utter the name Satriani on Kotaku.....

Billkwando

Oh boy, that's gonna be...something.

Ulquiorra

@doubtful:

I think it's the Mexican looking guy with the funny hair

*looks it up*

Wait, nope, that's the bassist. Still have no recollection of the guitarist.

CyN1caL

@KaneRobot:

Nothing says guitar legend like No Doubt and their guitarist, um, wait, I'll think of it, just one second...um, it's, no, no, no...

doubtful

Terrible song selection. Must be for the sorority chicks, plus or minus ten years. "Just a Girl", "New", and "Hella Good" would've been MUCH better choices if they HAD TO put a No Doubt "track pack" out.

Activision's really doing a bang-up job with their new toy.

jollydwarf

@KaneRobot: Lol. I'll agree with you on her body, but I still think she has a cute face. On topic, I wish they would put hella good and ex-girlfriend on rock band. I could jam to those.

I_Hate_This_Place

I have to say WTF!!!!

This is supposed to be Guitar Hero: LEGENDS OF ROCK...so, where are the legends at? There are a couple in the game but they have yet to release a download pack that had a decent band, much less a "Legend".

When I hear Legend, I think of real legends...Hendrix, Doors, The Who, Zeppelin, Metallica, AC/DC, Iron Maiden, etc.. You know, bands that actually influenced the industry and changed the way rock/metal is played. How bout throwing in some simple Guitar Legends, such as malmsteen, Vai, Satriani, beck, wylde etc.. I think they would be appropriate, and definitely better than the crap they have been releasing.

I'm sorry but Velvet Revolver and Foo Fighters are not legends of anything. They have some decent songs, but they are by no means legends.

Now, seeing they are putting a No Doubt song, which isn't even Rock much less a legend, in the game makes me want to just throw my guitar in the trash.

Capp

Don't like No Doubt. At all. But for some reason, I can't turn off the radio when one of their songs plays! And I have family that insists on playing one of their CDs! And I don't complain! WTF?!

I won't be buying these tracks (for serious).

Taco Bell™

You know, she aint no holler back girl...

and stuff...

-EDGE-

Gwen is not "hot." She looks like a 14 year old boy in drag.

KaneRobot

NO DOUBT?! A-hahahaha! Enjoy your crap. I'm usually not this abrasive, but No Doubt is some of the worst "rock" trash I've ever heard, and shame on you if you like them.

Hilarious that this is why Guitar Hero owners get after weeks and weeks of nothing, while Rock Band owners get a ridiculously awesome cavalacade of stuff every week. Hope you own both if you own GH3.

KaneRobot

I'm never getting the game...but Gwen is hot looking. She's on HP website too you know.

nxp3

Sixteen is a wicked track on Tragic Kingdom. Wish that was on rockband.

I would like to see full album of No Doubt on Rockband. It would be awesome. But know you what would be more awesome. I even dare say, MOAR awesome! SUBLIME

Let's just say, "I smoke two joints in the morning..."

Eumenides

Rats, I really like No Doubt, but with my boycott of all things Activision due to asshattery, I can't get this. As soon as they start playing nice with Harmonix over peripherals, then I can go ahead and play, but I have to try to keep voting with my wallet...

Swervo

Sunday Morning is fun. I enjoyed it.

Excuse Me Mr was terrible. Another goddamn chord fest. I hate you, Neversoft.

Don't Speak was very enjoyable, coming from a big fan of the song.

I would've rather seen It's My Life, Hella Good, Just A Girl, or Spiderwebs than Excuse Me Mr.

Lethal_Dosage

What the FUCK is up with her arm and blood veins..eww. !

nopposan

To quote Brian Griffin:

"I don't know what a Hollaback Girl is, but I want to kill Gwen Stefani."

wild_world_girl

@FlashIV: I thought the Wii is getting Rockband?

MURDERFACE

I'd prefer most any metal to No Doubt. :P

Sorry, didn't like them then, don't like them now either. There was about a billion better bands in the 90s. And as said...this really a good fit for Guitar Hero?

Karlott

I'd enjoy Sunday Morning, alas I'm stuck with a Wii.

FlashIV

Shame she became really nothing after leaving the band that made her famous, "no doubt". and yes spiderwebs would be good for guitar hero 3.

D3Anon

They must be smoking crack over at Neversoft if this is what they think people want in GH.

CaptLtrl

@vism:

We can only hope

harlock_JDS

"Finally I get to post a giant picture of Gwen Stefani's face!" Um, where you posting pics of Gwen's other body parts before? ;P

Puhgete

Some Gwen before she sold out! Frankly the only No Doubt album I enjoyed was Tragic Kingdom. The rest were nowhere near as good and I'm not even going to talk about the solo career.

Rask

@Wolf_Dog: You're welcome :D But I quite like "QuitFuckingTrolling". I shall remember to use that on somebody next time.

Candlejack

WTF ACTIVISION!!!!!

ST19AG_WGreymon

Does the fact that No Doubt is under the Universal Music Group label (Interscope), which is now linked to Activision through the Vivendi Universal merger, mean that we'll never see No Doubt on Rock Band? :(

vism

I liked No Doubt (the first 3 albums).. but I thought Guitar Hero was about guitars! It should have stuff like Hendrix, Led Zepelin.. you know? GUITAR HEROES! Not No Doubt!

CockroachMan

I can't decide if I've always thought Gwen looked manly as a side effect of hating her music, or if its an independent feeling. Her and Cameron Diaz, you could cut yourself on those chicks ;)

DaiMacculate

@MURDERFACE: @Bigfoot: Seriously, if they could put the entire 311 Grassroots album up as DLC for Rock Band I'd pick it up in a second.

slav_9920

Sunday Morning is a great track but as for the others, meh. I definitely agree with you Fahey. It needed Spiderwebs.

Skitzoap

@spidermanskivvies:
I find your lack of faith in the average player disturbing.

I really prefer anything other than metal. Give me some oldies. And not all these rock oldies, but some others that still have guitar.

StupidDufus

She needs so much makeup to look good it's sad. She cute imo, but without makeup it goes downhill.

P-Sheddy

Eh, it's something different. And Sunday Morning is a fun song at least. *shrug*

If the average internet GH fan had it their way DLC would be nothing but boring metal, metal, metal, and oh yeah, more metal. Fuck that.

spidermanskivvies

I must be the only person that likes Sunday Morning. You guys know you sing all the lyrics when one of the songs from Tragic Kingdom comes on anyway.

djbooba

This should re-he-heallly be on Rock Band. I was a ND fan back in the day and none of the guitar parts were memorable. Hope Harmonix gets it right and get Spiderwebs in there.

Wow, Gwen's changed a lot hasn't she?

CHU BOI

@Candlejack: @Josh*:

Damn you kids with your internet slang and your LOUD music, lol, thanks guys.

Wolf_Dog

@Wolf_Dog: Was supposed to be Quoted For Truth, so I suppose closer to the latter :)

Aeralindor

@Wolf_Dog: without the cursing, perhaps, it's most likely "quoted for truth"

Spiderwebs would've been excellent and led to me purchasing it. Too bad, they probably would've liked to have my money.

Ummm at least there's no BANANAS present.

velvet396

Over use of red lipsick

Rengenki

While Guitar Hero releases No Doubt, Rock Band gives us Nine Inch Nails. Rock Band wins.

qbix

@ MIKE FAHEY: It's worth about as much as any other semi-attractive pop princess.

On a side note: I'm glad they added No Doubt songs. As much as I don't like Gwen, they were a decent band back in the day and these songs are among the ones..... that....I can remember....

CheckersMcGavern

Like 90% of the the posters said, would be more fitting for RB, and I would definitely pick it up then, even though there are better songs.

def PD

@Wolf_Dog: Quoted for truth = QFT in my world.

Candlejack

@Wolf_Dog: closer to the second one

Josh*

@Jagzthebest: Seconded so hard. I'd have loved Spiderwebs though.

Bernard McGraw

@Aeralindor:

Did you just tell me to QuitFuckingTrolling or ummm QuiteFuckingTrue...?

Wolf_Dog

Would buy them if they were in Rock Band :(

Struct09

Couldn't you have point a more, er, lucky picture of her? :(

Josh*

@Bigfoot: yeah i would like to see that but for rockband i would Only want it if they let you Play some of Chad's crazy drum solos that he does durring the live shows. It would be awesome to break from the song for like a few mins just so you can bust out some crazy solo and then go back to the song. LOL i would pay so see that happen.

MURDERFACE

No doubt I like the sound of this. Spiderwebs would have been pretty good too.

JustJake

@Lemming To The Sea: errrr 6.50

Lemming To The Sea

@Jagzthebest: This picture in particular is more slut than glamour, I agree, but I've seen some really nice shots of her. Some days she's got this hypnotic look about her, others she looks like trash...all in the makeup and how she carries herself I guess.

Norellicus

400 points = $5, so expect them to cost 4.99 or something around there

Lemming To The Sea

You know when I first saw the don't tell me video, I though she was Madonna after a round of plastic surgery.

HurricaneDave

Altough you could have picked a slightly better picture...

Sasuntsi|Davit

Where is Just a Girl?

Len Bias Cocaine Surplus

I also would have preferred Spiderwebs ... and New.

@Jagzthebest:

DO NOT WANT

Billkwando

I never really considered No Doubt to be a very, you know, guitar-centric band. Would it be great in Rock Band? Sure. But Guitar Hero? Not so much.

CyN1caL

her face makes me sick. seriously.

Jagzthebest

Ah yes, the golden years of my youth. When No Doubt was great and I was in high school.Im tempted to get it but I will hold out to see if it comes to Rockband.

ichiban1081

Diamond? How many is that, exactly? I'm guessing 10 million?

Cogito

Guitar Hero/Rock band needs 311.

Bigfoot

The New would be great on Rock Band.

donsanedrin

Don't particularly like No Doubt - but Don't Speak, Spiderwebs and Just A Girl, would have made a much more preferable group of songs from that album.

And yes, putting it on Rock Band would have made it all much better as well.

Meldy

Mmm, this has been the best visit to Kotaku I ever had. A big Stefani face right as I pull the page up. Delicious.

Absent Blue

I was about to shit myself in anger before I noticed they picked songs from when she was actually worth listening to. Crisis averted.

(Yeah, I like "Don't Speak". What about it? :P)

ShaggE

@Wolf_Dog: QFT. More mid 90s Ska please. Speaking of which, I get to see the Mighty Mighty Bosstones at the Avalon in LA on Saturday. I'm excited :)

Aeralindor

That picture is not as giant as it should be.

Ryumeka

Om nom nom...

I'm ashamed to say that I actually really enjoy Gwen Stefani's recent solo albums... it's about the only pop I can stand to listen to...

Could you add the "GIANT FACE" tag though, please?

Northernsky

AHHH FUCK!!! Why not Rock Band (cries for 90's Ska)

Wolf_Dog

Fuck. It's all downhill from here Kotaku.
