Quality rock songs in GTA V

I really hope they put some great rock songs in the game. Songs from System of a Down and Smashing Pumpkins and Avenged Sevenfold. They have had great Classic rock in past gta games, but I would really enjoy seeing 90's and 00's rock songs. Anybody else second this notion?

I am hoping for this as well. GTA IV honestly did not have many good rock songs. Liberty Rock Radio was mediocre in my opinion. Hoping they step it up a notch in GTA V. Even San Andreas had some great stuff.

I knew I wasnt alone on this issue. Gta iv had good music, but not good rock music. How awesome would it be driving along the fictional version of pacific coast highway listening to Aerials by System. It would be epic

Was I the only one that really liked LRR and Radio Broker? I thought they had some really good tracks, though admittedly a few bad ones as well. I also enjoyed LCHC before The Lost and Damned.

 

I'm just gonna say it, I don't want a System of a Down song in this game. Just the completely wrong vibe.

But Rockstar are never going to make a radio station that consists entirely of your favourite bands and songs. If they did, it would be a gigantic coincidence. There will always be stations with great songs, mediocre songs and bad songs. It's just how it is. So stop claiming a station was bad when there are others out there who may have enjoyed it.

 

It's like, you say you want System of a Down in the game and I say I don't. Either way, one of us will be disappointed.

I just want a good classic rock station. GTA IV disappointed me with that. GTA VC/SA/VCS had the best Rock music in GTA.

Im not asking for them to make a station entirely made of my fav songs, I just hope they put really good rock songs in this time around. And I was using system of a down as an example of a good band, something both of us can agree on

LRR got a little better in TLAD, but we need a more modern rock station.

 

 

I hope we get at least 1 Avenged Sevenfold song, also considering they are from Huntington Beach... Would fit the local area radio nicely.

I really, really like Liberty Rock Radio. It has some mainstream music on it, but it also has a lot of songs that are relatively "underground". Honestly, I'd rather listen to a new, good song than a song I've heard on the radio a few thousand times arleady.

I don't think they're a good band though, at best I think they're average. That's my point, difference in opinion. You say you want really good rock songs and I say IV had them too, so stop complaining.

I think a song like Mr. Jack or Toxicity would work better than Aerials. Aerials is too preachy. Too much about the song and not enough about doing stuff while the song is playing. It's too prominent to be background music. It is a great song though.

Or how about listening to B.Y.O.B to get hyped for some rampaging through Los Santos XD

All the bands you listed are good bands, and as far as Avenged Sevenfold to each its own, but imo I think Avenged is better than half of the bands you named

If we're going to have modern rock/metal, then I'll suggest Iced Earth. They are pretty underrated.

But you are complaining. The title of this thread itself is a complaint; by saying you want quality rock songs in GTA V you're implying that the songs on LRR weren't good enough, then you went further to say that "Gta iv had good music, but not good rock music." That right there is a complaint. You have a right to an opinion, that is alright, but you should not try and reign is as supreme.

I would like a 60's-80's rock station and a 90's-00's rock station. It'd be cool to have stuff like Nirvana, System of a Down, Disturbed, Alice in Chains, The Pixies, Avenged Sevenfold and other 90's to 2000's rock band.

In all honesty, there better at least be SOME Desert Rock/Stoner Rock, this f*cking stuff originated in California and LA and the Palm Deserts, I mean come on, bands like

,
,
,
,
,
,
,
and even stuff by
.

 

And hell, just the description of it:

 

The Palm Desert Scene is a group of related bands and musicians from Palm Desert in Southern California. Their hard rock sound – which is often described as '"desert rock" – contains elements of psychedelia, blues, heavy metal and other genres, such as hardcore, as well as distinctive repetitive drum beats; typically performed with electric guitar, bass guitar and a drum kit. The musicians often play in multiple bands simultaneously, and there is a high rate of collaboration between bands. The Palm Desert Scene is also notable for producing stoner rock pioneers Kyuss. The term "stoner rock" is sometimes used interchangeably with "Palm Desert rock." However, not all Palm Desert scene bands are "stoner rock."

If not a single trace of those bands appears in GTAV, then Rockstar seriously dropped the ball.

 

edit: I mean come on, can't you just imagine riding over the dunes and dirt of Blaine County with some of those songs blasting out? That would be f*cking ace!

Oh god yes. I asked for this in one of those old threads about what stations you want. The Palm Desert/Springs area is between LA and the Salton Sea, so I wouldn't be remotely surprised if that area is in the game. Mark Lanegan would make a great DJ/Host, only if my reason is his voice sways me. It would also add life to another area of the map that could go unnoticed next to the mountains/LS metropolitan area.

I still dont see where I was complaining, when most of the community on gtaforums can agree that the rock stations in gta iv were underwhelming

Then you clearly have no idea about music and just listen to certain bands because they have radio appeal over artistic intent. I also doubt you have heard any of those bands that you claim Avenged Sevenfold is better than. What a stupid f*cking name for a band anyway suicidal.gif
