That should be [COOL] not [CAPTION]

Sorry, the correct answer is:

You may now take the time and effort to learn an instrument and play Devo. Any time you play Rock Band, you are a complete douche.

Any time you play complain about people who play Guitar Hero and Rock Band instead of playing an instrument, you are a complete douche.

/you don't hear ballet dancers biatching about DDR

I'm afraid that won't help.

Didn't take long before the insecure musicians showed up.

The 80's sucked but Devo sucked especially hard.

Damn you, frankmanhog! How dare you beat me to the punch! I shall crush you for this! Crush you like... like...

...like all my hopes and dreams...

sweet!



Q: Are we not men?

As someone who just bought a mic stand for his Rock Band mic, I'm really going to get a kick out of Devo...

Everyone I know who looks down on Rock Band hasn't played it yet. Converted more disbelievers than I care to remember.

/put down the chainsaw and listen to me

DEVO is merely documenting the devolution of the human race through commercially viable participation in an attempt to separate the non-mutants from their money, just as they always have been. The joke is on you.

Saborlas: Didn't take long before the insecure musicians showed up.

I don't know...it's always seemed to me like the people who make comments like that in general don't play instruments themselves, while every one of the people I play Rock Band with play some sort of instrument (including myself).

This just in: Members of Devo have hit retirement age and are broke. Stay tuned after this word from our sponsor, Whip It non-dairy whipped cream dessert topping.

So, I can get some ... satisfaction ....

/worked better in my head

Seriously how many times can you possibly play "Whip It"? I don't think I could make it through the first time. Devo sucks.

Rain-Monkey: Sorry, the correct answer is:

Anyone who takes the time to go after someone for having a different hobby than themselves on the Internet, is a complete douche.

I nominate Rain-Monkey for douche of the thread. Anyone seconding it?

Do you get all indignant about people playing FPS games, calling them names because they are not out there with real guns? Do you get all offended by people who play the Sims, insisting they get a real dollhouse? Do you get your panties in a bunch when people play racing games, insulting them because they are not driving on a real track in a real car?

I am a guitar player. I also play Rock Band. See, I like to have fun. No one thinks that because they play Rock Band that they are a guitar player any more than people who play Star Wars games think they are an actual Jedi.

Get over yourself. The gamers are definitely not the douches in this thread.

soupbone: Seriously how many times can you possibly play "Whip It"? I don't think I could make it through the first time.

Especially if the drums were accurate. Your arms would fall off playing the hi-hat part.

Run To The Hills begs to differ.

/just killed my red pad.

shadowself:Do you get your panties in a bunch when people play racing games, insulting them because they are not driving on a real track in a real car?


Hey now, careful with that one. There are people out there who WILL actually get upset that sim racing fans don't take their real cars to the track.

\Thinks everyone should try an autocross or track day day at least once.
\\Also thinks that real-world racing is not a requirement to properly enjoy said racing sims.

I disagree, i think that Rain-monkey does believe he is a real Jedi.

eviljimbo: devo rules

No, Devvo (new window) rules.

Eh, I'm one of the people who doesn't "get" rythm games.

That being said, I've only really gotten after my roommates twice for playing it. Most of it had to do with the fact that at least one of them is likely playing it, reasonably loud, in the living room.

Not usually a big deal, as I can play my own music or w/e, but after a while it does get annoying, just like any other persistent noise.

But they're good about it, so we don't have any fights, really.

Rhawb: Hey now, careful with that one. There are people out there who WILL actually get upset that sim racing fans don't take their real cars to the track.

Well, they can "hrumph!" and "I never!" all they want, but it doesn't change the fact that I don't have a car, license, or access to a track. This will not stop me from playing my favourite type of game. Then again, I would never get that type of reaction from anyone, as I don't normally converse with douchebags.

You mean I'm not really made out of lego?

I'm through being cool.

I'm of the "they're not real instruments, jackass" camp.

However ... DEVO! Woot!

My money is on Whip It, Satisfaction, and Freedom of Choice.


What do you guys think?

I don't think that anyone believes they are real instruments. Those with an imagination, however, can have a blast playing the game.

And I am with you for two of those: I think it will be Whip It, Freedom of Choice, and Girl U Want.

If they'd choose Devo's cover of Head Like a Hole, I'd finally have all the incentive I need to plunk down the cash to finally buy Rock Band.

DEVO rules, and all the hater-spuds can suck it.

Thank you, Kublai Khan for shattering all of my illusions, fark you very much.

Kublai Khan wins so much.

I didn't watch the video but I read earlier in the week that they went back into the studio and recorded some of the synth parts on guitar just for Rock Band. Should be a lot of fun.

Has there been any word on the Cars album? It was supposed to come out in May, so if not tomorrow I guess that won't be happening?

That would be a nice purchase too, hopefully the Devo tracks come soon as well.

Pssst ... I'm in a real band, so I can mock the toy-playing wannabes if I want to.

Devo + cool tag = ironic

I've only got guitar hero's, looks like it's time to give rock band a go.

Geez, I always figured ANYONE who played Rock Band was a complete douche. But now that DEVO is available to download, it is totally wicked rad!

that wasn't my goal, I was trying to prove a point to the previous wiener that even though you've got instruments doesn't mean you can't have fun with a rock-band or guitar hero

Actually, it IS coming out tommorow... fyi!
