I noticed on this week's DLC that they put a little more effort into it:

Unlike previous DLC, the Who songs include the crowd singing along as you perform well during the song, and also includes new info cards for the loading screens. I know they won't do this every week, but I hope for any big name releases they continue to do that.

Psh, Page K broke this news last night.

Can I work for Harmonix?

That party is going to ROCK!!

*goes and sings Baba O'Riley on Rock Band*

@Zerozaki Ishiki: Horrorshow?

I loved what I watched of it...which admittedly consisted of the above segment, some girl dancing in a tub of beans, and Jack Nicholson pretending to be a psychologist.

Then I couldn't stand anymore. But it's undeniably the best The Who movie ever made.

@Rabidsquirrel: so it' out?

I haven't connected to the store in a couple of weeks. This sounds great!

NerD!!!

If not for the fact that they are old as fuck, I would be really excited.

I am still going to watch it though. I mean, come on, it's T Who!

A private party?

Awwwww..

I bought the Who pack last night... This could be awesome..

Rabidsquirrel

@Arsenicberyllium: God, the Tommy movie is a fucking horrorshow.

Zerozaki Ishiki

KICKASS.

Okay, so MTV HD(essentially a mature, music-focused MTV) has been showing The Who stuff all week to hype the Honors, and yesterday was this:

@kingofallcosmos: I meant non-documentary movie.

A couple of seasons ago on Top Gear, they did a van review where the boys where shipping The Who's gear from Hyde Park to somewhere else.

Fantastic quote from Jeremy Clarkson: "Zak Starkey, unlike his father, is a drummer"

bruzie

@kingofallcosmos: The Kids Are Alright is pure rock classictry (I'm making it a work ok?).

Tommy movie is indeed a fucking horrorshow. No two ways about it. Oliver Reed is fantastic in it though. But then, he's fantastic in everything.

@Luke Plunkett: nah dude, it's featured on Baba O'Riley which isn't a live recording. it is a nice subtle touch and you can tell a lot of love when into it. biggest surprise for me is how "real good looking boy" is a great song to play. and zak starkey fucking rules i now know.

otakuhouse

@Luke Plunkett: nah dude it's on tracks that aren't live, like Baba O'Riley. The whole crowd goes along with "onnnnnnlyyyy teenage wasssssteelland"

otakuhouse

@dan: Glad someone had their thinking cap on last night.

@KaneRobot: The crowd singing's because, I'm fairly sure, they included some live songs as part of the DLC, to make up for the fact they couldn't get some of the old master tracks. I only just woke up, though, and could be TOTALLY making that up.

Luke Plunkett

@Arsenicberyllium:
I disagree. The Kids Are Alright is a way better movie. I could watch it anytime.

I hope that the crowd is sufficiently excited. The Who played a couple of hours away from here last year, but the cheap seats were $150 each. I would love to see them live.

kingofallcosmos

"Fun fact: The Who's current drummer is Zak Starkey, who Ringo Starr's son and was drumming for Oasis."

ESL?

Coyotegrey

@bruzie: aw shit dude that kills me. ringo will forever be immortalized, but i daresay his boy has better chops.

otakuhouse

@otakuhouse:
Yeah, I noticed when playing Real Good Looking Boy that this guy seemed to be able to play damn near as manic as Keith Moon used to. Not quite, but awfully close.

Mommar

I never considered getting Rock Band until now.

For me, The Who = Best Rock Band Ever

*sobs at thinking how much Rock Band costs . .

DrStrangepork

This will be so cool, I wish I worked for Harmonix.

Otaconnachos

@Arsenicberyllium: I can highly disagree. The best Who movie ever is "Quadrophenia"

yjaved1

@DrStrangepork: Well if you start saving now, you'll be able to afford it when it releases later this fall :)

Of course, I need to buy a new X360 as well. I hocked the last one for music equipment. Damn my impatience.

Intellectualdiot

The Orpheum Theatre can hold 2000 people. That's a lot of invites!

Only a couple of miles from me. So close, yet so far away!

@Luke Plunkett: More Page K posts, please. Loving it.

Too bad all of our guesses on The Who were moved to some other post, due to the Kotaku hamsters taking a break last night.

FP mind in rewind

@KaneRobot: Yeah, I noticed that too. I was just playing Baba O'Riley and my guitarist was imitating Townsend with the big sweeping arm motion. It was awesome.

Roger can suck one.

F'ing awesome. They were amazing! Pete busted a string on Pinball Wizard though :(

That is pretty sweet, I just bought The Who pack on Rock Band yesterday, it is pretty sweet! Rock Band 2 has a great set list, and some of the new features for GH WT look cool too, I might have to pick up both :)
