Lyrics and Tabs to Rock Out To
The Rock Band video game lets wannabe musicians start their own, well, rock band. Now it's back for an encore. The sequel, out now, features dozens of blistering tunes that gamers can shred, sing, and pound the plastic drums to. Ah, but which songs do players really want to rock out to?
We took a look at the top "tab" and "lyrics" searches from the past seven days and found a healthy mix of musical genres. When it comes to lyrics, rock groups aren't all that popular. Lil' Wayne, a rapper, has the most popular lyrics in Search and Kid Rock is also in the top ten. Sheesh, instead of Rock Band 3, how about Rap Group 1?
On to guitar tabs, where Metallica rules the roost. In second place? The anti-Metallica: John Mayer. And the makers of Rock Band should take note: If they want Rock Band 3 to be a success, consider including Stairway to Heaven. It's the number one tune, even topping lookups for "led zeppelin tabs" by a healthy margin. Ohhh, it makes us wonder.
