just the fact that the song "kids in america" is not on this setlist makes it 10x better. rock band 2 had some really good songs and then some that were just whiny and obnoxious. this one is way better imo.
edit: oh and the exclusion of linkin park = instant win.
what canadians have different music than you? i swear some of you americans are so damn ignorant it sickens me.
yeah thats exactly what i said. thanks for pointing out my ignorance all superior canadian. please show me the way. by the way i'm mexican. the flag is my location not my nationality, but of course you don't make assumptions, you can only speak facts.
edit: btw who is Johnny Reid, he seems to be number 1 in the canadian charts but is no where on the american ones
i dont know who johnny ried is, and by calling me all superior canadian, you are continuing to show your ignorance. just because alot of canadians like something doesnt mean all of us do... thats stereotyping...
and just because johnny ried isnt in your charts doesnt mean that there are no americans who listen to him...
what do you listen to if i may inquire?
and being mexican in an american world i would have thought you would know ALL about stereotyping... nuff said
you need to go back and read. i never said canadians have different music than me, you implied that i said that and that's where the problem started. then you go and call me ignorant for it which shows off your ignorance not mine. yes, i made an assumption that what's popular in canada is not what's popular in the US, and if you look at charts, you'll find that that's actually pretty true. whether you fit into that demographic is not my problem, the exception is not the rule.
then you go and call all americans ignorant based on a post by a mexican. i called you superior canadian because you called me and ignorant american. in case you haven't noticed the cause and effect in this convo, i was reacting to you. people form different places listen to different stuff mostly and while there is a lot of crossover universal awesomeness that we may have in common there is still a local influence into what we like or at least why we like something and that is all i said by pointing out the OP was candian, then you came along and projected your own prejudices onto me.
and yes, as a mexican in the US i know a lot about stereotyping but i'm not the one stereotyping here, you are.
- i mostly listen to rock and folk, song writer/singer stuff and a some of it is influenced by where i live. next month i'm gonna see buika, who is not in my usual musical taste, but my partner listens to jazz and i'm mexican and she sings mexican standards in a jazzy style so guess what? whether we like it or not our backgrounds have a lot to do with what we listen to. you might enjoy Buika if you give her a listen, but if you aren't mexican or spanish or somewhat connected to latin music happenings you would likely not have heard of her. and wether you knew who reid is or not, the chances of you hearing him in an elevator or on the radio are higher than mine if i turn on my local radio. i do like rufus wainwright, but then i'm gay and so is he and therefore i knew of him right away.
if you manage to be completely uninfluenced by your culture or surroundings then good for you, but if you think it makes you a better person because you escaped some stereotypes, then that's just sad.
