i will now not buy this game.

unless i dont have to play through every song, that is.

ok, I gotta say it: Your band sucks.

Yes, this band is so awful I cant believe this story is true.

Nowadays they're pretty bad, but their first 2 albums weren't completely horrible.

yeaaaaah, rock band just pulled a kurt cobain for me. definitely not getting it now, another shitty song on its already weak track list.

wow. way to have absolutely no fun playing the game. someone just wants to get his achievements....

Shitty, wannabe prog-rockers.

also the funny thing is, that guy singing is actually better than the band's horrible singer

oh...my...god.. are you fucking kidding me!? if youve ever even listened to the song once you would know that these kids are no talent assclowns with no rythm or sense of pitch. horrible.

Aaaaaaaaaaand here come the fans to defend this awful cock rock!

Jesus, they're working to get shit like this on Rock Band, while ignoring music gods like Iron Maiden, Rush, Dream Theater, etc.

I believe Maiden didn't want their music in the game, and that Harmonix have been trying since GH1 to get their music in there.

I don't have a source, it's just something I "remember hearing."

I love Coheed & Cambria, they put on a great live show. But I'm not buying this game, so I will just have to go to their shows and listen to their albums.

The guy on your right strums like a gaylord.....this band is sad.....working for IGN I would think there's tons of guys who play Guitar Hero on a daliy basis...I guess not.

Love 'em or hate 'em, they're guitar parts rock. I personally love 'em, but they could've chosen a better song for Rock Band.

Youtube and this band both need to be burned, and the earth salted so that nothing may ever grow again.

"I hate you and i hate the band you like!"

Coheed kicks ass, and David Thorpe should take their lyrical advice:
"pull the trigger and the nightmare stops"

The only thing worse than this band's music are their album titles.

if you removed anything remotely good or entertaining from the music of Queensryche and Styx (there's not much) and combined what was left over with the rejected nonsense lyrics of Neil Peart you just might get something that's almost as bad as C&C...; almost

Feel free to not like coheed, but at least have some ideal of what talent is.. Can you play the solos.. Can you even play the rhythm part at that.. And the singer has quite a range which is difficult in its self.. Before you bash anything ask your self if you even compare. K?

wow, you guys are tools. i'm pretty sure that if the talking head was quoted saying "coheed represents everything that is great about the underground, post emo, progressive rock movement", that all of you would be singing their praises right now.

coheed rules. GDIAF nubs

Ouch my ears.
Don't hold the mic so close to your mouth.

After reading the comments in this thread, is anyone else having flashbacks to when My Chemical Romance was announced in GH2?

For those who don't, there was a huge rush to judgement pre-launch, and most of it turned out to be uninformed and unfounded.


Speaking of uninformed, Iron Maiden has songs in GH2, GH2:80s, and are confirmed for GH3... not sure where you "remember hearing" your comment.

Wow, I can't believe you guys. I bet you're the kind of people who think A7X has talent

C&C; have some good songs. Very good songs. Songs that I would love to belt out my falsetto with in this game.

... this is not one of them... (-_-)

My GOD! This is the first BAD news I have heard about rockband. I have been riding a wave of building anticipation and then this.

I mean I will still get and love the game, but what a godawful song, jesus god...

More maiden, less shit

I like C&C; and their guitar parts are pretty insane... .BUUTT!!! I dont like it as part of rock band's line up... C&C; isnt really THAT great to party to when you have a bunch of friends over rocking out...

Very Disappointed... I think i lost my 4 month long chubby i had from really wanting this!! I hope its a "Bonus Track" lool

Ouch, not much love in this thread, is there?

Personally, I'm excited to play it, but not excited to hear people try to imitate Claudio Sanchez's voice. Same goes for people trying to do Geddy Lee on Tom Sawyer (that's on there, right?).

For those that don't like Coheed and Cambria (nearly everyone who has commented so far?), follow these three easy steps and you might be able to at least tolerate playing through the song:
1) Ignore their fanbase of mostly musically challenged emos who probably haven't even heard their older, better stuff.
2) Remember that Claudio isn't the first rock singer to have a crazy voice.
3) Keep in mind that their lyrics are part of some (overly complex and completely retarded) story, so the murdered girlfriend is the imaginary girlfriend of an imaginary character, and therefore the song is a little less lyrically emo.

Or, you could just keep hating them, play the song once, and never touch it again. It's not like I care if you like it or not. I'm just trying to help you tolerate it.

So which is worse? Guitar Hero 3's Bret Michaels Band or Rock Band's Coheed & Cambria?

I have to go with C&C.;

At least there's now one or more absolutely shit songs on each game's song list. I was starting to think Rock Band was going to be relatively flawless.

While I hate the band, those who aren't getting the game just because of one song are fucking idiots.

Are all you 12-yr olds serious? Coheed are the best band out there right now. I must be too old (26) and out of the loop. These guys are one of the very few bands making anything worth listening to right now. I can't wait for the new album. I wasn't even going to bother with rock band until i read this. It's a sorry state when today's youth hate quality music. may i ask, what do you clowns listen to? I need to know what you all consider "good" if you think Coheed sucks.

@ Joe:

Dude, I like all those bands too (well, except one or two that I don't really listen to so I can't really say I "like" them). This is crazy. I mean, I can see why there's people that don't like Coheed - they're not for everyone. But I thought video game nerds, especially the kind that post comments on video game blogs all day, would like Coheed. I guess I was surprised by how much actual hate there was for them. Oh well, I'm going back to listen to the new song they put on their myspace yesterday! later, all you 16 yr old haters!

I honestly think that everyone here is batshit insane. Coheed and Cambria is truly one of the more talented bands working today, not only musically, but in other facets as well. It's obvious to me that nobody here has actually even LISTENED to any of their music other than what gets radio play.
