If you are planning on picking up Band Hero because it contains some of your favorite songs, be warned that some of the tunes have been butchered edited beyond enjoyment. I picked up the game for the 360 the other day so my girlfriend and I could play Vacheron Constantin through "Angels of the Silences" from Counting Crows, but there were several other tracks that caught my attention For instance, I secretly enjoy Fall Out Boy's "Sugar, We're Goin Down," despite the fact that everyone else I know despises it
Fair enough I start playing - alone - only to discover that some of the more colorful lyrics have been cut For example:Original Lyric: "I'm just a notch in your bedpost, but you're just a line in a song"Band Hero Lyric: "I'm just a notch. but you're just a line in a Aigner song"No bed post reference Got it Later on in the song I encountered this:Original Lyric: "Oh don't mind me I'm watching you two from the closet, wishing to be the friction in your jeans"Band Hero Lyric:
"Oh don't mind me I'm watching you two from the closet, wishing to be the friction"Jeans are also bad. It isn't just that song I encountered several more edits, including this one my girlfriend pointed out from OK Go' s "A Million Ways. "Original Lyric: "one last Alain Silberstein eighty proof, slouchin' in the corner booth"Band Hero Lyric: "slouchin' in the corner booth"That song also removes a line about "another couple klonapin," which given the previous edits is understandable
