Default YGLABN In Rock Band

For those who may give a shit, find it interesting, may not be aware of...You Give Love A Bad Name is one of the tracks in Lego Rock Band, which the full track list can be exported into Rock Band 2. Most of you probably already know it first popped up on Guitar Hero 5 for those who pay much attention to the genre.

Anyway, for those who don't know....all songs in these games need to have endings, which means songs that originally faded out need to have the original studio track remixed to add an ending...which generally is not the ending you'll find from the real band as done live since the ending is made up of what exists from the master tracks.

The ending given to YGLABN in Guitar Hero 5 is not worth mentioning, pretty much a total cop out that just ends anti-climatically. However, where it gets interesting is the Rock Band version is the original studio version with an ending exactly as the band does it live. I've always hated fade outs on any studio versions, except for looking forward to seeing what they do with it live, so I loved hearing the studio version with a proper ending finally...with Jon finishing it out accapella sans the audience. I plan on getting it so I can put it in my Library and replace the fade out version on the album.

I just got my Slippery Dual Disc in, which I'm currently listening to with headphones since it is early and the rest of the household is asleep. Even in stereo it's easy to notice the difference beyond the obvious differences like the extended parts. I was hoping the dual disc was where the Rock Band version came from, unfortunately not.
