I'm as big a fan of the song as any Transformers fan but I have to ask, does anyone else think Stan Bush would have retired from song writing years ago if Transformers didn't exist? He seems to only be famous thanks to The Touch and he relies on it to stay famous. Besides Ground Zero, now reworked as Till All are One, I can't name another song by Stan Bush.

As much as I like Stan Bush, not getting a copy of Rock Band 3 with the instruments as a grand prize along with the CDs, kind of makes this a sucky Rock Band contest. Really, it's a Stan Bush contest with Rock Band over tones.

Pass.

More so in the video than in these pics do they look similar. I wonder why Stan didn't have any makeup on? :???:

Anyway. I expect allot of sad and disturbing videos to rise from this. It's gonna be awesome!

No mention of the fact that the song is only available for Xbox360 and not PS3 or Wii (and no mention if it ever will be available).

There's 'Dare' as well, lol. 'The Touch' and 'Dare', I really do love to bits. My ex had them both played at her birthday party, and there was only her, myself and her older brother dancing/playing air guitar to them infront of a hundred or so people. 8-}

But when I saw the video for 'Till All Are One' performed at whichever 'Con it was, I cringed so much I almost turned inside out. I do think Mr. Bush has taken his Transformers themed music too far.

Also, 'The Touch' only available on Xbox = high degree of bull!
