I believe that someone mentioned this in the news section already but I wanted to make a thread to see who all is interested in it. Guitar Hero World Tour comes out for all major video game systems on Oct. 26th. No Rain is one of the downloadable songs you can play! I hope this is a sign of more songs to come out. Time, Dear Ol Dad, Galaxie, and Down on the Pharmacy would all be great additions to the game! Also, this is a great marketing strategy for the guys to reach out to a younger crowd. Maybe even release a full album on it. I wonder if the guys even know about it...hmm

Thanks Brad for finding it and bringing it to my attention. I don't have the money to buy it but I am going to have to give in on this one...

Hey, no problem.
I doubt though, that we will see another song from Blind Melon for the Guitar Hero / Rock Band games. Remember, to the world outside Melonland, they were a one hit wonder. Though I hope I am wrong.
Peace

I heard the same thing back when the guitar hero tracklist was released, and then when the final draft of songs came out, no rain wasnt on the list...im glad to see its still on there, at least as a DL...i think the band on their next release should do a marketing strategy for their next album down the road...then a bunch of the melon tunes would get on the game eventually...

Yeh I hope you are right melonheadbama. Man there are so many jammin songs that should be featured for Blind Melon. Hopefully No Rain does well and they consider a 3 song pack of some other tunes...

I can't wait!!! They have a section in this new one where you can write your own songs and allow them to be played in the game and publish them online. So, maybe some ambitious melon will use it to do more BM songs?

I hope so. I will try to put some of their songs together. I am decent on the guitar but the rest of the instruments might be a challenge. Hopefully we will see some additional downloads from guitar hero as well. If you read this Rogers that may be a great marketing tool...

So, maybe some ambitious melon will use it to do more BM songs? I am sure this is possible. Not sure about the vocals though. I thought I read somewhere that the songs we can create on the game were instrumentals only. It would be awesome marketing for the band. Especially with the new stuff.

That makes sense. I doubt we will be able to add the vocals. I hope so though.

Well the GHWT website says you can create songs using for different instruments so maybe you can do vocals.

"Now, before you get excited about laying down the note chart for your favorite song that isn't in the game using the, there are a few things you should know. The first is that there is no vocal stream in the song creation tools. You can put down a keyboard part and have someone sing it, but dictating the words or recording your voice is out. " -IGN
Sounds to me like you can't record vocals, but you may be able to sing with it??? This music thing sounds sweet like you can just have a jam session and freestyle, but I'm not sure yet.

So if someone did the music part for BM songs, you could still sing Shannon's/Travis' part along with the music since we all know the words. It will be a challange, but totally worth it, I think. There is also I section you can freestyle in, I don't remember off the top of my head what it is called, but it is a seperate section from the publish your song section. You can do any of the songs you have in the game, the ones you published or downloaded freestyle. So if someone figured out "Time" you could publish the music part, and then play it in the freestyle mode and jam out! There is also a "No Fail" setting in this one so little ones can play with the family and the more experienced people don't have to be hindered. Pretty amazing what they are doing with video games now.
