System of a Down: BYOB (complete with f-bombs removed from the radio version used in the game)

Didn't quite fit:
Korn: Freak on a Leash
Van Halen: Hot for Teacher
Cult: Love Removal Machine
Dream Theater: Pull Me Under (2007 remix--not sure if that's the one in the game or not)

Just thought I'd share.

You left off Hot for Teacher while green lighting Smashing Pumpkins and Lincoln Park ?

[anarky]

They play "Hot for Teacher" way too much on the radio in LA. They play way too much Roth-era VH. Swear to God, I've heard "Jamie's Crying" on six different stations at one time!

And never ever any Hagar VH. I don't even think there's any point in telling you no Cherone VH.

[Sleazer]

Ok.

Semi-related, I recently played a few cuts from VH3 on my iPod, Chux, and I thought of you. Seriouslyy, I did. I like some of those tunes and the guitars sound great.

[anarky]

I wonder if the supposed tracks for the second Cherone album will ever see the light of day? Or will they be like the quasi-mythical hard rock album that was replaced by Music from the Elder, where, even when they have a chance to release tracks from it, they don't?

[Sleazer]

It will probably be more like Carnival of Souls...with the equally imaginative album cover.

[anarky]

Carnival of Souls was released pretty damned quickly, though.
