    Glad to see Rock Band launched the Warped Tour series of downloadable packs with some great tunes – it’s sad, but most of the Warped Tour is crappy teeny bopper stuff these days, it’s a good thing they got some good tunes. Bad Religion is always classic, and it’s especially great that they included “I Didn’t Say I Was Powerful, I Said I Was A Wizard” by Chiodos…really awesome guitar groove.

    There’s a gameplay video of this track at : http://displacedbrett.wordpress.com/2009/06/25/chiodos/
