Is it just me, or does Detroit Rock City sound odd? Specifically the vocals... maybe it's the camera's mic capturing Spike, but the song doesn't sound exactly like the original from Destroyer.

Quoted from Magic_Mike:It's not the original. Paul and Gene went back in the studio and re-recorded all of their hits to get around having to pay royalties to Ace and Peter.
I like KISS but the remasters suck ass.
Yea I kinda suspected that after rewinding and listening a few times. It sounds like Kiss, but it's not original. Had no idea of the re-recordings. Definitely knocks the game down a bit on the want-list, pending a full cracking of Spike. We'll see if the gameplay can make up for the meh tunes 
Quoted from CrazyLevi:We've been over this one 100 times...these are the re-recordings from 5 years ago, not the original recordings.
Maybe YOU'VE been over it 100 times, but this is the first I'd heard of it. Kiss is just an OK band to me so I haven't been watching the launch of this game too closely. It's a non-issue if Spike gets cracked, but otherwise would probably prevent me from owning the game. It's not as bad as Nascar's butchering of Hagar, but it's too noticeable to ignore :/
Quoted from vid1900:KISS does not own a recording of God of Thunder or of Firehouse.
Gave you a thumbs up on the first reply just for "Def Leopard" 
Sorry to hear these bands don't own their own music, but regardless of their past licensing deals, I'm only interested in the original tunes I grew up with. Obviously I'm not the only one.... Stern would be best served by not spending *too* much resources protecting Spike... 
Quoted from vid1900:If they are unavailable to be licensed, then there is nothing Stern can do. Stern is not going to cancel a project that Gary has been trying to do for a decade, just because he can't license Firehouse.
Of course they're not. I'm just sayin... spend their development resources on the playfield and rules, make them really good, don't waste too much effort trying to encrypt the assets, and they'll sell plenty of games 
Quoted from DevilsTuner:I was amazed at frigging Mortal Kombat but now I need a game to be a bare min of 30-40 gig in size with 4k textures powered by my 3x970gtx's and 7 gig over clocked water cooled rig. Yah get what I am laying down?
As someone who still enjoys playing Kaboom! in all its 2048 byte glory, I must say no, I'm not down with you
