@Jim Reilly:

YOU'VE GOT THE POWER

YEAH !

lgndk11r

Why would activision give this guy a call? They already have 2k note converting monkeys at the ready, converting anything and everything into GH tabs for whenever they happen to square away the licensing for the particular songs.

ludwigk

@SnakesSolids: I agree. The Boogie Nights version always makes me laugh.

Didn't see this post until I already posted below.

Adam In Texas

I want the version they sang in Boogie Nights. It's classic.

Adam In Texas

@mzs:
That's the version that should be in RockBand. With Mark Wahlberg singing.

It'd be easier to hit those notes when they're off-key to begin with.

SnakesSolids

YOU GOT THE TOUCH

Jim Reilly

If Stan Bush wants to be in it, he could always re-record it. That's what Jimmy Buffet did.

@ChiltonGaines: I know what you mean. It's past 2005, and I'm still waiting for some robots to show up at my doorstep.

DukeOfPwn

@Hi_ImBlack420: pulls out his DVD of said movie and watches :D

Release on Rock Band 2 now, cos teh internets said so....

Daemonstalker

@badwhodo: ha ha, nice!

Gotta say, though, as good as the Touch may be, there are some other songs on the TF OST I'd rather see (like Instruments of Destruction).

thespyderboy

No nostalgia factor for me so...yay?

HudoKudo

God, this has to happen. Out of curiosity, I got my controller out and played along to it. Feels good.

Bernard McGraw

ahhhh....classic memories....now give me the 80s rock transformers theme in the beginning of the movie.....after unicron eats that crappy planet....damn i got to see that movie again

Hi_ImBlack420

don't forget to approach them using the universal greeting and offer both companies an energon goodie.

bah weep grah nah weep nih nih bon.

badwhodo

I freakin' love this movie. Rodimus Prime and the dinosaur robots and all that good stuff. Haven't seen it in a while though. I find it funny that it was set in 2005.

ChiltonGaines

They might have to use a cover because in order to create a proper GH track you have to have the master mix with guitar separated from vocals and whatnot.

If the master exists. There wont have to be an "AS MADE FAMOUS BY" track.

squish123

@arniejolt: I don't see why they'd have to do a cover of it seeing as how in the earlier post about The Touch Stan Bush stated he would love to get the song in the game.

I don't know why after he expressed interest he'd suddenly create the need to use a cover.

GKFinns

@Parkington: Wait Xbox 360.

Parkington

At the rate this is time to be careful what you wish for...if either Rock Band or Guitar Hero manage to get the song there could be the chance that they'd have to do a Cover version in order to get it.

arniejolt

I would buy PS3 for that.

Parkington

@jeremyschultz:

Sorry, I bought the soundtrack.

jeremyschultz

Rock Band 2. There's a thread on this at the game's website. I seriously think there's a good chance of this happening.

subject117

I would buy it and I don't even own GH or RB.

FYI, I bought the Transformers: The Movie today as a result of this Great Crusade.

jeremyschultz

The simple fact is, I would be a day 1 DLC buyer if this song was announced.

If they released this track, all they would need to do is release the Ghostbusters animated theme on Halloween to help reconcile all of us who AREN'T playing the game by then.

GKFinns

WOOHOO! Now to go watch the movie.

proghuman

Fahey, I love you.

Zefir

I was always more partial to "Dare" especially after "Touch" was butchered in "Boogie Nights".

mzs

Viral marketing.

RetroBob

i'm going to repeat the enthusiasm i had on the previous thread. This needs (keyword here) to be in Rock Band 2.

joerocks1981

that's sick. activision....DO IT!!!!

brooklynwolf

That's the song that ruined transformers

Crowbot

@arniejolt: Say it ain't soooooooooooooooooowoooow.

Parkington

@subject117: Yes, and the link for those that care: [rockband.com]

Khabi

Contacted Rock Band peeps, left a messege saying, "Hey, put Stan Bush in your game."

Bluur

YES.

Thank you, Fahey, for making this your cause.

Commenter: I fear a cover would be... terrible.
Comment replier: Stan, you can't be covered!
Stan Bush: Do not grieve. Soon I shall be one with the Harmonix.
Brian: Stan...
Stan Bush: Mike Fahey, it is to you, old friend, I shall pass the laser guitar as it was passed to me.
Mike Fahey: But Stan, I'm - I'm just a writer. I - I'm not worthy.
Stan Bush: Nor was I. But one day, a Kotaku writer shall rise from our ranks, and use the power of the laser guitar to light our darkest hour.
Stan Bush: Until that day, till all are rocking.

Velawesomeraptor

@Velawesomeraptor: Wow, one of the best comments I've ever read. Though I'm a male and straight, I shall bestow a little heart upon you. :)

paydirt76

I can't effectively express how awesome that was. It clearly should be in Guitar Hero!

Rick Batty

Brings back memories.

RomieYO

@Crowbot: Funny, it's not listed in the Transformers Wiki Article on that topic. Maybe you should add it.

skrolnik

@GKFinns:
I agree. This is awesome.
Hey, whatever happened to the good old whiny star screem who shared his voice with cobra commander? Oh wait, now I remember...

AaronMD

One shall stand. One shall fall. Fuck yeah.

Tim W

I actually made a custom GH 2 and this was on it.

I would prefer Nothing's Gonna Stand in Our Way- NRG

Len Bias Cocaine Surplus

@BigPanda: Ok, I'm an idiot. I meant...

Harmonix! ROLL OUT!!!

BigPanda

@joerocks1981:

Agreed. After watching that and realizing how important the drum is to it, it needs to be in Rock Band 2.

Activision! ROLL OUT!!!

BigPanda

Best ~4:00 minutes of my life.

Hac-Hunter

Uh, no thanks. I mean, I love the movie and all, and the song brings back good memories, but it is just boring. Unless you are singing, this would not be much fun.

BC4T

I'd like to see a rerecording of this with a killer 1 minute solo added for Rock Band 2. You hear me, Harmonix? Get this shit done. Not that you're not performing great already.

Anarchist_Gamer

@HudoKudo: Yea me neither. I never knew that was some kind of cult classic.

Letsgohokies

Stan Bush could be the next Rick Astley.

Polite Society

I forgot how totally badass that song is. I would definitely buy this as DLC.

Wubbytoes

See, this is a test. Harmonix and Neversoft they always listen to fans...Lets see if they really do..

kingme

Heck, I'm convinced we need "Guitar Hero: Transformers."

Saxboy

Funny to watch the video and see all the characters on the stage just standing there doing nothing while the song is being played. It's a pain in the ass to add in the pointers to the note track to get the characters to animate to the beat of the song at the right moments though, but still funny to watch nonetheless if it's not added in. It looks almost as if they know someone's hacked the game and put in a song that's not supposed to be there, so they're not gonna act like they're enjoying it, just gonna stand around like zombies!

laughingdog

damn though... the guy playing it sucks ass.

shade-black

Arise, Rodiums Prime.

Oh I am so ashamed I remember this shit

+ Watch video

Owen Good

I've been requesting this song to be in Rock Band every chance I get.

Hopefully it'll come...and, yeah, I'd rather have it in Rock Band than Guitar Hero.

Seroth

I want the White Lion version of the Transformers theme song to be in Guitar Hero or Rock Band. Have you heard it? It's a freakin' face melter! http://favtape.com/artist/transformers/play/White_Lion/Transformers_Theme

PutnamPriam

That was a good custom version for the song. Seriously, the guys of Activision should put that and Dare in either Rock Band or Guitar Hero at least.

DesertDemon2007

I saw this the other day whilst campaigning for the Transformers 1986 movie soundtrack to be added to Rock Band. It's not too bad but there's too many three note chords, as usual with custom songs people have done for Guitar Hero 2.

Anyway, thought I'd just add that I've started one of them oh so effective Facebook groups campaigning for the Touch, and the rest of the Transformers soundtrack, to be added to Rock Band and Guitar Hero. Feel free to find it and join. Don't wanna be advertising too much due to it being a bit cheap and rude.

lvl54spacemonkey

@Owen Good: don't be ashamed, man. That's classic.

Coxswain

@PutnamPriam: That's not White Lion. Just Lion. [en.wikipedia.org])
I thought Vito Bratta did his own version. Got excited over nothing.

Shinryoma

Rodimus Prime needs to be a DLC costume.

BlackMage66652

Great memories.
Looks like a boring song to play though. And I am guessing that is why they haven't included it in any of the games.
Let the flames commence.

Noel_Leon

@Parkington: Try not to flamebait yourself. It's dangerous. The universe could collapse in on itself. And you wouldn't want that now, would you?

shufflemoomin

@Noel_Leon: I wouldn't flame you, but I would question your judgement RE: what makes a boring song to play. Usually for me it's not about how complex the note chart is, but whether the song itself is an awesome one. If it is, it's never boring to play, just great to listen to...

freakout

can't people just make this and put it in GHtunes? as long as it doesnt get too much attention, im sure it will be up there for a while.

Garbagedick

@shade-black: ugh, i know. painful to watch.

Crawl to China

@freakout: Thank you for showing that there is hope! ;)
I like complex songs that are above average challenging. This song does not look challenging enough, hence I think it looks boring to play.
It in no way represents the view of anybody else but myself.
And yes, I do enjoy the song.

So it can actually be boring to play. Nitpicking wins the Internet.

Noel_Leon

I would just like to say as a GH custom person, that that chart was synced HORRIBLY The job can be so much more professional.

OdelettePorcupine

When I made this, I wish I would have been able to play it a little better. All I knew is that someone had to make some songs from the 86 Transformers Movie available for Guitar Hero, so why not me? I have a musical background, and getting around the tech know-how was a little difficult, but it paid off. Thanks for noticing my work on The Touch, but personally, I want to see the 86 Transformers Theme in GH or Rock Band 2 more!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Let's make it happen!

artisttheone

That was awesome. I can't wait to see this with vocals and a drum part too.
