Sorry, I should re-phrase – using plural pronouns in ALL of their songs (as I’ve realized since I last commented) is too self-referential of the fact that they’ve got so many vocalists, and it makes the shtick seem that much more “shtickier.” I can’t help but imagining this gang of guys surrounding a girl at a bar talking about how they’re ALL going to make love to her, and it weirds me out.

So the reason those two Queen songs are okay is because they’re written to be taken in the context of a team/group, and to build morale, etc. The plural pronouns are appropriate for the content. Can you imagine if it were “I Am the Champion” or “I Will Rock You”? Loses some effect there, doesn’t it?

Though the rest of the song is pretty fun, I always hate the undercharted drum roll in the beginning XD I just feel like a douche if I’m playing drums. Good pick, though.

That last sentence has got to contain the weirdest reason I’ve ever seen to dislike a band. They use plural pronouns, so they’re bad? Dislike Queen much for We Are the Champions or We Will Rock You?

On-topic: I like that song. I don’t necessarily think Bang Camaro is the greatest band EVARR, and some of their songs are decidedly less fun to play than this, but that doesn’t detract from Rock Rebellion. Fun guitar chart and also not a bad bass chart, though both are horrendously overtiered. That is not a devil-head level guitar, and the bass is, if anything, even easier.

Sometimes I feel like I’m the only person in the world who hates Bang Camaro. Every time they’re mentioned in an article or post, it seems like everyone has a collective orgasm.

I LOVE classic rock, and it’s admirable that they’re going for that sound, but the whole gang vocals thing just doesn’t do it for me, and ever since I noticed that they used plural pronouns in Night Lies (like “we” and “us”), they’ve never rubbed me the right way.

I bought this with the OXM as well. Don’t regret it one bit.

Major props to both my brothers for their great work at playing guitar and drums in a full band
