I like Rock Band a whole lot. Did you know that?

[LarsenNET]

Now it feels like home. I hope this get pinned.

[Rock Bandit]

Hope I reserved enough. Looks like there's a 10000 character limit here. Any chance that could be raised?

[Suave Peanut]

In the future event that you run out of space, my above post could be edited to accommodate.

It's gotten to the point now where I look forward more to the late-week announcement of next week's DLC than its Tuesday release. I guess I like a little hype and anticipation.

[LarsenNET]

I think what needs to be done is clean up all of our posts and lock it so it's only DLC and only updated by Rock Bandit. Then have another post to discuss.

[Rock Bandit]

No, we should be good. I wouldn't want the talk splintered across threads.

[Vandabo]

As they say, with great Rock comes great responsibility.

Great job Bandit!

[Cupelix]

Has anyone heard if they've fixed the RHCP issues from yesterday? I tried to download Under the Bridge, and was one of the lucky ones who didn't make it past 1%.

[LarsenNET]

Bummer, didn't know there was a problem. I bought the album and it downloaded without a hitch. Did you try again this morning?

[Cupelix]

Bummer, didn't know there was a problem. I bought the album and it downloaded without a hitch. Did you try again this morning?Not yet; no time to do anything but get up and go to work in the morning :)

I'll certainly be trying again when I get home tonight. I'm just glad that I saw from other threads that there were some weird issues with this week's DLC, otherwise I would've thrown a fit thinking something was wrong on my end.

[Rock Bandit]

I was having that problem yesterday morning. Tried it again last night and it downloaded.

[Rock Bandit]

I went to drop word at the old thread that this is where I'll be keeping things updated and it looks colonyofgamers.com is censored.

And then I lol'd.

[Karmakin]

Yay.

My favorite thread made its way over :)

[Rock Bandit]

Well I just finished up my last bit of business there and clicked Log Out. That's it, I'm done. I am now a PiRi and CoG man only. Feels....weird.

[Variable Gear]

Blood Sugar Sex Magik is one great album. There's only five or so songs I didn't enjoy on expert guitar.

[Mdot]

Duh, I just asked in another thread if you were continuing this. I should have looked around first lol. Home sweet home.

[icronic]

Blood Sugar Sex Magik is one great album. There's only five or so songs I didn't enjoy on expert guitar.


I completely agree. I actually enjoyed them all on expert guitar. Well aside from that 2 minute joke song that's virtually impossible to keep a combo going on.

I wish they could figure out a good way to rate the difficulty for each instrument though. It's so incredibly inconsistent and misleading right now. We've got songs that are 3/5 for difficulty that should be 5/5 we've got songs with flaming heads that are barely worthy of 4/5. It seems especially bad for the drums. I could beat every song in RB1 on expert drums minus Run To The Hills, and there are songs in the first 3 tiers that I'm failing out of.

It looks like we're going to be getting full albums from this point on though, I can't wait to see what they come up with. I'm hoping for a little Rolling Stones and some Doobie Brothers myself.

[Nameless]

Thanks for bringing this over here, Rock Bandit, it's incredibly useful!

I'm excited to be playing Blood Sugar Sex Magic for the first time tonight, my buddies and I are getting together to run through the whole album! Any songs that are incredibly difficult on Expert Drums that I should be wary of?

[Variable Gear]

Sorry, Rock Bandit...but I've gotta post this. An AC/DC track pack is coming (http://www.joystiq.com/2008/09/30/nyt-rock-band-getting-wal-mart-exclusive-ac-dc-expansion/) to Rock Band and Rock Band 2, but not in the form you might expect...
Update 2: The "Track Pack" has been confirmed by Harmonix and MTV Games and will be available exclusively at Walmart and Sam's Club beginning in November*. The AC/DC LIVE: Rock Band Track Pack will be available in the U.S. on Nov. 2nd for Xbox 360, PS3 and PS2 and on Nov. 16th for Wii. The disc will retail for $39.88 for Xbox 360, PS3 and Wii and $29.88 for PS2.

The AC/DC LIVE: Rock Band Track Pack will also be available at most major retailers in Europe, Australia and New Zealand in early December. All tracks from the disc will be available for play in Rock Band and Rock Band 2 by entering a special export authentication code for the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions.
Master recordings from various live performances (remixed by Mike Fraser; 99 mins.):
"Thunderstruck"
"Shoot to Thrill"
"Back in Black"
"Hell Ain't a Bad Place to Be"
"Heatseeker"
"Fire Your Guns"
"Jailbreak"
"The Jack"
"Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap"
"Moneytalks"
"Hells Bells"
"High Voltage"
"Whole Lotta Rosie"
"You Shook Me All Night Long"
"T.N.T."
"Let There Be Rock"
"Highway To Hell"
"For Those About to Rock (We Salute You)"
The tracks can only be transferred once per disc (http://www.joystiq.com/2008/10/01/rock-band-ac-dc-tracks-can-only-be-transfered-once-per-disc/). Which sucks.
After yesterday's announcement of the AC/DC LIVE: Rock Band Track Pack, featuring all the tracks from the Live at the Donington album, Variety got a few more details from MTV's Paul DeGooyer. Most importantly, DeGooyer said the transfer can only be done once per disc, confirming initial indication of a download code printed on the game manual and expectedly void after use. Hear that gurgle? That's the collective sound of all those Blockbuster patrons' sinking hearts.
I'll definitely be buying this.

[Sandman]

I just thought of a name for an AC/DC track pack if it was downloadable....

"DLC Done Dirt Cheap"

[Cupelix]

It seems especially bad for the drums. I could beat every song in RB1 on expert drums minus Run To The Hills, and there are songs in the first 3 tiers that I'm failing out of.I've thought the same thing. Granted, I got stuck on Foreplay/Long Time in RB1 (really, just stuck on the Foreplay part, since I know the rest of the song is relatively trivial). A lot of the RB2 songs are much more challenging in terms of sheer speed (Welcome to the Neighborhood) or surprisingly weird rhythm (I thought Anyway You Want It had a surprising number of weird bass hits). Granted, I just looked and those are both in tier 4 according to wikipedia.

I will say that for whatever reason, E-Pro consistently makes me feel like I have no rhythm at all, and that's tier 3.

Damn. Was hoping it would come in used. I guess I can wait and hope that some schmuck doesn't use the code.

[pomeroy]

Boo. Hiss!

Stupid AC/DC track pack. Stupid disc-only, Wal-Mart exclusive AC/DC track pack.

[Rock Bandit]

Sorry, Rock Bandit...but I've gotta post this.

No apologies mate, it's what we're here for.

Now to be honest...I don't like this. It's forty dollars for 18 songs, a price that's dictated by the fact it's an on-disc product. The weekly DLC was meant to free us from the shackles of such things. Now if the disc also included extra content like an AC/DC venue and clothes, that'd be great. And it's good to see it's transferable to the hard drive to keep with the "one disc to play them all" edict, but there's no reason this shouldn't be downloadable at around 20-25 bucks. That also gives people the option to pick and choose the tracks they want to pay for instead of the "all or none" way.

This move is obviously because of the exclusivity contract AC/DC has with Wal-Mart and it's either this or no AC/DC at all, but it still stinks.

And yes I'll probably end up buying it. :mad:

What I was actually thinking was that maybe AC/DC set track rates at higher than usual. Anybody remember when Harmonix said that songs would be from $.99 to $2.99. The band could have wanted that $2.99 price for them and this could have been a compromise.

Yeah. It's not so much the price point though as the disc format which forces you to buy everything. The fact that a person can pick and choose what they want, or grab everything at a discount, is a thing of beauty. We lose that here.

[Variable Gear]

I agree that the price is far too high for the amount of songs we're getting. I'll be buying the track pack, transferring the songs and unloading the disc at GameStop. I have no need for extra discs. If they accept the trade-in, that should cut about $15 off of the price of the tracks, which gets them closer to the price point they would be at if they were available in the Rock Band store. It's not perfect by any stretch, but it's what I'll be doing.

[Mdot]

Yea, that AC/DC disc is wack, but I really can't resist it. Truth of the matter, I'd probably pay double that for a Zeppelin pack too, as pathetic as it sounds. Really wish it was just DLC though. Would be so much more convenient.

[inmostlight]

Yay! My favorite thread is back!

(I still don't even understand the AC/DC thing. "Wal-Mart exclusive" is the exact opposite of "rock and roll".)

[Suave Peanut]

Additionally, it makes no sense that the 360 version is $10 more than the PS3 version.
Correction: The PS3 price is the same as the 360, but the PS2 version is $10 cheaper.

Still too much, of course.

[Variable Gear]

I corrected it. Thanks for the tip! ;)

[Suave Peanut]

Thanks for the tip! ;)
No problem. Also: that's what she said!

Yeah, I hate me too

[Rock Bandit]

Oh snap! (http://www.shacknews.com/onearticle.x/55064)

The entirety of Motley Crue's album "Dr. Feelgood" is coming to Harmonix's multi-instrument music seres Rock Band on October 14, according to the band's blog.

"All you fans of Rock Band will want to check back on October 14th to download the entire Dr. Feelgood album through your console's online marketplace," the entry reads.

Based on past Rock Band DLC releases, Xbox 360 owners will receive the content on Tuesday, October 14, followed by a PlayStation 3 release on Thursday, October 16. No price was named, though such downloads have been priced between $11 and $20.

Both Rock Band and Rock Band 2 owners will be able to purchase and play the content. The track listing for Motley Crue's "Dr. Feelgood" follows:

"T.N.T. (Terror 'N Tinseltown)"
"Dr. Feelgood"
"Slice of Your Pie"
"Rattlesnake Shake"
"Kickstart My Heart"
"Without You"
"Same Ol' Situation (S.O.S.)"
"Sticky Sweet"
"She Goes Down"
"Don't Go Away Mad (Just Go Away)"
"Time for Change"

Kickstart My Heart! Finally!

[Mdot]

He's the one they call Dr. Feeeeeeeeeelgood
He's the one that makes ya feel alllllllll right

[pomeroy]

Hmmm...Motley Crue is on DLC. That's pretty good.

It's not "Girls, Girls, Girls." That's pretty bad.

I mean, how else is that stripper pole I just installed going to get used?

[King3567]

I finally found out about all the drama that happened over at Evil Avatar and, like many of you, logged out for the last time. Thanks for bringing this thread over here Rock Bandit. As for the AC/DC thing, I'm buying it. Rock Band is a social game and what rock band encourages singing along as much as AC/DC does. Yeah the price is kinda high, but I do like to have physical copies of my stuff so I'm not complaining :)

[Rock Bandit]

Good to see you made it King.

Off the top of my head I still need:

Elrik Murder
divinechaos
Sirindu
Saldrin

until I can feel like the band's truly back together. I should just bite the bullet, go back, and shoot them a pm.

[King3567]

Elrik is coming. The same guy who told me what happened sent Elrik an PM. As soon as he sees it, he'll be here.

[Rock Bandit]

Good to hear. I just sent out pm's to other parties that I hope might be interested in joining.

Oh hey, did you see we're getting some classic Crue? Friggin' rad!

[King3567]

That I did and it is really awesome! Harmonix is really pumping out full albums. I mean, they still have like four announced albums to come out with! I want my Colour and Shape now, damnit! ;)

[Rock Bandit]

If I was a betting man I'd say that's what we're getting next week. Gut feeling.

[mister slim]

A friend and I were trying to come up with a hair metal album that would actually be worth buying the whole thing, and "Dr. Feelgood" was the only one we could come up with. Nice to see it coming so soon. Can anyone think of other hair metal albums that aren't mostly filler?

[divinechaos]

Guess who made the jump? As soon as Rock Bandit told me about this site and I was done drumming I came to see what this was all about. Not to derail the thread but things aren't the same over at EvAv. The familiar names are gone and it just doesn't feel right. Anyway, I came here and saw that the family was still the same and it made me happy. The only thing that irks me about this place are the colors... I hope that somewhere down the line we can pull some donations together to give this place a face-lift. What use is an awesome personality if the looks don't match it? Yes, I'm shallow as fuck.

Anyway, my love for both Rock Band and those who love it as much as I do is what brought me here. Rock on motherfuckers!

I agree with this post in every way. I hope down the line the site can look a little less generic, but I can wait. Just as long as the cool kids are all here :cool:

I never got into character-making until recently so I never posted there. But now I've made Gene Simmons, Kirk Hammett, Freddy Mercury and James Hetfield. I've been thinking of what drummers I could create but rock drummers are so... bland that I can't figure out who to make.

Thread is up, post away.

[Camel]

Awesome, I freaking love Motley Crue.

I also love AC/DC, but I am torn. I NEVER buy full Rock Band albums, basically because I don't want to play 15 songs by one group. I like the variety! AC/DC is one of my favorite bands, and I like every single song that will be coming out from them for Rock Band, but I dunno...I just don't want every third song I play to seem like it's AC/DC.

[King3567]

Once you have a lot of DLC, full albums' songs don't come up too often. I've got around 215 songs and I have 2 albums and the full Boston and Who pack and it is very rare that these come up.

Oh yeah, and what's will all the FlapJack avatars? :p

FlapJack and Chowder are both great shows. Cartoon Network 4 lyfe! CN is so much better than Nick. Seriously, what the hell has happened to Nickelodeon?

Oh god, this so off topic XD

This thread is fantastic. So glad to see it back.

I don't think a PC can be "Magic" if it can't play Rock Band.

Aw boo, didn't realize they were that popular.

I am completely in love with the show. It's so so so bizarre. It's like a combination between Sponge Bob, Ren and Stimpy, and...something else.

I love it. Flapjack's laugh (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gADfjEkCp4E&feature=related) is hilarious (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MEb8SvNhvYs&feature=related).

I really can't wait for the offspring pack to finally arrive.

[Suave Peanut]

So ff Dr. Feelgood is out on the 14th, then what are we getting next week?

[TheSilentDeath]

Damn, another good album coming out when I don't have any money. Makes me sad.

[Zero]

Apparently the Offspring ad is back up on Live. I can't confirm it though.

[anakin876]

My wife is so excited about the Motley Crue pack. I am going to have a lot of fun with her in a couple of weeks - as it is we have a good time with Rock Band 2 anyways - but I think we overdid it a little bit and she kind of got tired of my constant suggestions. A good 2 week break - and then some awesome new music is just what the Doctor ordered!

[Sirindu]

Thanks again for the info on what went down over at EvAv, Anakin. So sad to see that happen. But the fundamentals of the community remain strong. ;) And almost all now remain here. So I've made the switch as well.

[Rock Bandit]

Who wants a boner? (http://www.rockband.com/forums/showthread.php?p=1371747)

Hey everybody,

Self Esteem

Each track is available for $1.99 (160 Microsoft Points) or $5.49 (440 Microsoft Points) for the complete three pack. All tracks are masters.

We also have -

Stop! by Against Me!
All Right Now by Free
Bad to the Bone by George Thorogood
Cream & Bastards Rise by Harvey Danger

Push It by Static-X

Each of these tracks is available for $1.99 (160 Microsoft Points). All tracks are masters.

Tracks come out 10/7 on Xbox360 and 10/9 on PS3.

[Suave Peanut]

Well there's the answer to my question! Nothing really exciting as far as my tastes go, but I'm sure a couple of you guys are stoked about that Offspring pack finally dropping.

[Zero]

Weird... there's no complaining going on about this week's DLC... Hey! We forgot carnage11! Did anybody tell him we were over here now?

I PM'd him already. I'm pretty sure he'll make his way over here soon enough.

Weren't some of those tracks in the rumored 20 free downloads?

Eh, oh well. Bad To the Bone is going to be epic.

[mister slim]

That's an eclectic update. Thorogood and Free should be fun. Screaming Trees too. I do wish we were getting more old Offspring, I'd love Come Out and Play or Nitro.

[LarsenNET]

I'm getting the Offspring pack, Bad to the Bone, Nearly lost you, Push it. So almost all of it. Definitely getting Dr. Feelgood.

Bad to the Bone and Self Esteem for me, most likely.

Oh, and some Queen please. For the 40th some odd week in a row.

Come Out And Play is on Rock Band 2, you could play it right now if...you...oooh sorry.

[Elrik Murder]

Let there be Murder! And so there was!

I am here! Had to tag along. Not really sure about the details over the exodus, but don't care. Too many good names disappeared. Nice to see them all again.

Now, let us Rock! My new kick pedal was received with great jubilation yesterday. Also, visions of the Ion drum set feel me with intrigue.

1st post in a new community!!!

[Rock Bandit]

Yeah! And Sirindu's here too! I love my new home. I'm hoping to see at least 3 more people from the old thread.

[Talanvor]

I just found CoG after looking at the DLC thread back at EvAv and this thread was my first stop here.

So, do you think we should hold off on buying anymore DLC until they let us know what the 20 songs that are tied to the code in RB2 or just go nuts like usual?

Huh? The free tracks won't be anything already released. They have a secret list of twenty songs that we'll only see upon release.

All those lists we've seen were just rumors. If it's released as pay DLC then it will not be on the list of 20, 100% gauranteed.

[Rock Bandit]

It's 20 songs that were planned to be on the RB2 disc but weren't ready in time. So instead of either (a. delaying the game or (b. releasing the game and just moving those 20 songs into the regular DLC cycle without mentioning they were originally meant to be on-disc they let everyone know what was up and that they were getting them for free, or if you like, as part of the $60 bucks you already payed for the game proper.

There's probably going to be some HMX bands on there (Honest Bob, Freezepop) but it won't be all of them.

My guess is we'll be getting them in the same week the game is released on PS3. Oct. 17th I believe.

[anakin876]

Offspring tracks! Those are going to be great. I don't think I've heard that Harvey Danger song - I wish it were Flag Pole Sitta or private Helicopter. When can we get some Cake? Please?

[Suave Peanut]

Whatever they decided to include, I will still unbegrudgingly download it. That is the point I wish to make.

I'd bet you are dead on with the date. And at least this way if I hate a song or something, I can more than likely delete it.

[Rock Bandit]

Oh yeah, if it's on your hard drive, it can be deleted. That's how I was able to get rid of my RB1 Tom Sawyer cover and replace it with the original. I now never have to hear fake Geddy Lee again.

[Suave Peanut]

I'd bet you are dead on with the date. And at least this way if I hate a song or something, I can more than likely delete it.
But if they give us the 20 songs as a single download, we'll be stuck with an all-or-nothing scenario. I would really like to be able to check/uncheck (à la iTunes) which songs appear in mystery setlists, etc. Maybe there's a chance for that in a future update.

[pomeroy]

I'll give you that one! That cover was terrible. Almost as bad as fake Claudio Sanchez in Ten Speed. Painful! It still pisses me off. :mad: And a special bonus shout out to fake Brandon Boyd ruining one of my favorite songs in the original Guitar Hero.

That cover for Ten Speed pisses me right off too, blergh.

Man, I would love to see some Cake. That would be awesome. Fashion Nugget full CD DLC, please.

The only one of those that ever annoyed me was Killing In The Name Of. Ten Speed (which is my favorite Coheed son) and Tom Sawyer never actually bothered me.

Yes indeed! Second the Cake too..

[King3567]

It looks as though the rumored 20 free songs list are all coming to Rock Band as single tracks. That's fine with me as I thought the list was kind oh "meh".

Next week's tracks are kind of "meh". Still waiting for Foo Fighters and Jane's Addiction;)

[Veregon]

All Right Now by Free
Bad to the Bone by George Thorogood

Looking forward to those two classics!

[King3567]

The only one of those that ever annoyed me was Killing In The Name Of. Ten Speed (which is my favorite Coheed son) and Tom Sawyer never actually bothered me.

Agreed on both accounts. I actually thought the Coheed and Rush covers were kinda good for being covers...

[Camel]

Awesome!

Self Esteem is such a great song. Same with All Right Now.

I am starting to get the same with with Rock Band DLC as I am with video games. Right before RB2 came out, I was still picking up DLC like a mofo, and I hadn't played RB1 in MONTHS.

[inmostlight]

Do we know if they're censoring for content other than bad words? Specifically, drug or alcohol related? Because now that the George Thorogood option is there, I really want "One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer" or "I Drink Alone".

[Rock Bandit]

I dunno, they seem to be all over the place with that stuff. Cocaine is left untouched in Casey Jones but marijuana is cut in Gouge Away. Goddamn is left in El Scorcho but dyke is cut from Rebel Girl. *shrug*

This is really something more games should be doing. Reward people who actually buy the game new and also encourage people who don't have their console online to hook it up and download DLC. I'd like to see a retail game launch with full multiplayer as DLC, including a code in the box for free multiplayer for the original purchaser. This would allow developers to recover a little revenue from all those players buying their games through GameStop.


My guess is we'll be getting them in the same week the game is released on PS3. Oct. 17th I believe.

Or maybe October 26th, the GH:WT launch date.

They cut out the word "bong"?!?!

Dammit, all modern consoles now have parental controls. The data files are already set up to only play the audio track in certain situations, can't they set it up so that if controls are on it bleeps out "bad" words and if they're off it just plays the original track?

[crazyD]

They cut out the word "bong"?!?!

Yep. They even cut implied drug usage.

It does allow a reference to Stellas.

[inmostlight]

Yep. They even cut implied drug usage.

Sigh. I'm never going to get any Hold Steady DLC.

Hmm, what the heck are they gonna do with "Dr. Feelgood" in two weeks?

October 14th is going to turn into Motley Crue day - my wife has the day off and is super stoked for Dr Feelgood to show up. Should be lots of rocking good times.

What happened to the Offspring tracks? I didn't see them anywhere in the store... :(

Offspring track will be up at some point today is the official word.

I second the stickification of this thread. I like having it at the top of the page as opossed to looking for it.

Yes, we needs a sticky!

Personally I'm probably going to pass on the AC/DC game, just like I passed on GH: Aerosmith. A game centered on one band just strikes me as boring.

Same here. Pretty disappointing though cause I would have loved to have had a fair amount of those songs.

Still, you can burn those AC/DC songs to your hard drive and intergrate them into RB 2 (or 1 if you've yet to upgrade). Still would of preffered it as flat out DLC though.

Has there been any further word on the release date for the 20 additional songs (or even a list)? I recall speculation that they'd release along with the PS3 edition, but unless I've missed some news along the way, that seems unlikely...

Woah, someone just pointed out the list line in the Monster Mash (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monster_Mash) wikipedia article to me

The video game Rock Band will release this song as free download content in time for Halloween, though no official date has been confirmed.

Yes, I want Lithium, Come As You Are and Polly. I can play Smells like Teen Spirit on real guitar and it is an incredibly boring song for the guitar. I can also imagine the singing would be pretty hard. At one point in the song you have to shove marbles in your mouth to get the appropriate effect.

Can't wait for Rock Band 2 tomorrow. It's going to be a blast.

[Variable Gear]

Not to whine but how do you do a Nirvana 7-pack and not include Smells Like Teen Spirit, Come As You Are, or Lithium?
I agree. In addition, Harmonix should at least consider putting some Meat Puppets tracks in Rock Band. A lot of people remember those songs from Nirvana's MTV Unplugged performance.

[mister slim]

That MTV Unplugged performance would be fun to play. Well, maybe not Pennyroyal Tea. MTV probably co-owns the rights, so maybe we'll see it as DLC.

Yes. I would love doing 'The Man Who Sold the World.' Though I'd be fine with the Bowie version too. :D

...I might not even bother downloading them.

[maharahaj]

I've only heard of two of those bands and only listen to one of them: Between the Buried and Me. I think they could have chosen a better song by them though. One of their earlier songs. Also, the vocals will turn off a lot of people though the drumming and string work should please those players.

[Sirindu]

Those are the twenty songs that were meant to be in the game but wouldn't fit...?

I'm a bit surprised. Not exactly disappointed... lots of times my favorite music for Rock Band has been music I've never heard before. So I will wait and see (hear). I'm just surprised.

[carnage11]

I've not heard of any of that. I'll download it only because it's free. Otherwise I'd not even think twice about any of it.

[Suave Peanut]

I am not excited about anything on that list, but this is probably why it is free.

[King3567]

I just came here to bitch about 20 free songs that Harmonix didn't have to give us but decided to as a thank you to the customers.

Seriously, though shut the fuck up all of you people moaning about free stuff. 20 free songs no less! Too bad so sad your favorite band didn't show up, but isn't that what everyone does with the weekly DLC anyways?

I am looking forward to X-Japan (how about they put up Art of Life on here ;)). I have heard good things about BTBM, especially their new album so I will look forward to that too I guess. All the other stuff, I am sure I will be pleasantly surprised by at least one of them. One thing Harmonix has over NeverSoft is their ability to pick less known bands and I have complete faith in them.

Why are you being such a fucking twerp?

These songs suck (especially in contrast to some of the rumored lists that were out there) to some of us, and one thing I've always loved about this community is that no one will hold back their opinions. You want me to do a dance of joy that I can download some songs that no one I play Rock Band with will ever want to play? Fuck that. It was dumb of them to even advertise these songs as a feature.

[King3567]

Again, that's all subjective. People post rumored lists all the time (GH:WT's rumored setlist, anyone?) and I've never seen so many people complain such as now, especially something that is FREE. Everyone needs to chill because Harmonix didn't have to give us anything.

And everyone's kind of let down because, in essence, Harmonix didn't give us anything.

[inmostlight]

My gripe is that the time and effort spent on these takes away from the things I want to actually listen to. :)

So guess this also kills the theory that the "good" Nirvana songs from Nevermind would be in the free pack. Have they said anything about why those were missing from this week's DLC?

I don't fucking care. Fuck off. I'm allowed to complain because I paid $65 for this shit. I expected better from Harmonix.

Now go beg your parents for more money to buy your games.

[neutralism]

I've never even heard of a single one of these bands on this free DLC list. However, on RB1 and RB2, I never heard of about probably two-thirds of the bands on there, either. I wound up liking quite a few of them, though, and I hope it's the same case with these 20 bands.

[Inverarity]

You want me to do a dance of joy that I can download some songs that no one I play Rock Band with will ever want to play?
This is my main concern- it's hard enough to get my friends to play mystery playlists as it is. Throwing in 20 more obscure songs, however worthy they might be, is not going to help. I already tend to avoid the 'confuse the drummer' options and ones like it because my vocalist doesn't want to screw up the last song of a successful set by getting thrown a song she's never heard and has no hope of doing well with.

I welcome the chance to try out a bunch of new bands - I'll probably enjoy at least some of the tracks. But I wish they'd come up with a way of excluding songs from random picks if they're going to guarantee that 20% of the RB2 song list is a complete unknown for most players...

[rvieira]

Jesus! I have to google every band on the list, I don’t know any of these bands....
I would prefer 5 DLC for free that I can choose from the RB store, then those 20 songs.

[Veregon]

They said in multiple interviews over the past few months that the 20 DLC would be more obscure type stuff.

Advertising 20 free songs to be delivered by end of year, for purchasing a game is not 20 free songs. You did pay for the game correct? Just because it says free it doesn't mean, in this case, that you didn't pay for them. You have a code that came with a game you purchased to get them, and as everyone else has mentioned, they suck.

If they were free people that didn't purchase RB2 would be getting them also. FOR FREE.

[Rock Bandit]

I'm underwhelmed by the choices but it's free and optional so meh. It should be noted I thought "We Care A Lot" was the stupidest song choice ever back when it was released as DLC but now it's one of my favorite songs to sing.

We still got Foo Fighters, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Jane's Addiction, and No Doubt to look forward to so my spirits aren't exactly dampened. 500+ songs by end of the year!

[Talanvor]

It's fucking awesome that they got X-Japan in there. I'd love to see more Japanese bands in Rock Band 2.

No kidding, I would freaking love some High and Mighty. Hell I downloaded Frets on Fire just to try out Ichirin no Hana; too bad that game is buggy as fuck and crashed when I tried to load it.

RB definently needs more diversity in songs, seems like everything is either from the US or UK.

Of course I would never have a complaint again if I got the Dethalbum as DLC. Uncensored, of course. Fuckers.

As Disgustipated said, fuck off. You are a moronic fan boy. We have been told a LONG time, that the game would have 20 "bonus" tracks that wouldn't fit... and would come with the game, to make it 100 songs +. That was part of the SELLING point. Not 84 songs, but an ultimate number of 104 songs. So yes, if they have 20 new songs that VERY few have HEARD of... then I feel I am getting ripped off. I hope there are some songs in there that I really like. I know in RB 1 there were some that I had never heard, and now are favorites... but dropping 20 like that? I already think RB1 had far more wheat in the chaff... this just makes it worse, for RB2.

RB 1 had fewer songs, but more I liked to play. Ultimately, THAT is what matters. Add to that, the fact that I can't create set lists to choose JUST those songs when playing, I enjoy... and RB 2 is kind of slowly falling off.

[pomeroy]

I'm wondering if their first set of DLC didn't sell well? If so it's probably not a high priority.

[King3567]

Okay, I guess being reasonable is the thing to hate on these days. You people are acting like the sole purpose you bought this game was for the 20 songs download. I am no Harmonix fanboy as I have all the Guitar Hero games too (I don't even know why the fact I am a fanboy came up...?), I am just saying that this is a thank you from Harmonix which is nice. It's free and if you don't like it, don't download it. It's that simple. I have complete faith in Harmonix though because I like alot of the songs I've never heard before on all their music games.

Basically Me to Internet: Chill.

I have not seen the option. What I am talking about, is in the game itself... when you have to play "random set lists". It would be nice to be able to queue up the songs I actually CARE to play, not just 100% random. That is what I am referring to.

In quick play there is an option at the top either above or below Random Song that lets you choose a setlist.

It seems pretty controversial. Or divisive. Either way, people be yellin' at each other over it.

[inmostlight]

Not really. I have about 250 songs in my game, but it seems like in the random options or mystery setlists I am far too likely to get one of the few songs I absolutely despise and which completely kill a party atmosphere. I want to be able to mark a small number of songs to never come up unless I manually select them. We're playing the game to have fun, after all.

Between RB1 tracks, download tracks, and RB 2 tracks, my "list" would be greater than what is in Rock Band right now. It MAY defeat the purpose, but it would make the game more fun, at least for me, and those that I personally know that play the game. None of us want to play My Sharona in a random set list, EVER again. But, we want to have the option just goofing around... Stuff like that.

I agree with this in a limited fashion. I think you should be able to ignore 1-2 songs in each difficulty set. I liked how in the original Guitar Hero games, you usually didn't have to play every song in a set to advance. Sometimes I just plain don't like a song and don't want it in there.

If you're just goofing around however, why not just use quickplay?

[zirky]

This feature would make me love Harmonix. Like that. There are just some songs which I can't stand to play and really kills me when they pop up.

[Veregon]

There are usually about 20 threads about this on the RB forums at any given time. I'm surprised they haven't given in to it yet.

[Zanzibar]

These songs are gonna be on the disc for the Wii and PS3 versions, yes? I dunno, makes me glad I have an X360, because I got to play the game without having to suffer through these as random playlist songs in my World Tour.

Can we ban this troll? :p

I was at Best Buy yesterday and they had the new GH:WT guitar hooked up to the demo station. I gave it a good molesting to see how it felt.

Buttons feel exactly like they do on the Les Paul. This is a negative in my book, they stick out too far and were a bit tight. The touch-pad buttons were...there. Without the game to test it out with I have no idea how using those feel.

The strumbar is now the exact same thickness and shape as the Strat but with that Les Paul clicki-ness to it.

The back/starpower button is very nicely situated. My palm was resting right over it and is perfect for those that don't like tilting. It's also used to for palm mute notes for bass players.

This was without a doubt the heaviest toy guitar I've ever held but it was still pretty tiny compared to the strat. Design wise it looks like one of those knock-off guitars your mom ordered out of a catalog for $75 for your 11th birthday with a name like The Bender Superstar.

I like the RB strats way better than the GH Les Pauls. Granted the quality control wasn't there at the start but that seems to have settled down now.

The RB vs GH guitar debate.

You know, in my experience, so far, whatever guitar you started playing, and learned with, is the one you prefer. I recently started playing with my RB1 guitar, and quite like it.... EXCEPT for the things I like on the GH guitar. :-) How does that sound? They are very different. I DO like the quietness, of the RB guitars.

According to IGN, this is next weeks' DLC.
MTV and Harmonix today announced that Souxsie & the Banshees along with Blink-182, Psychedelic Furs and Silversun Pickups are bringing a total of seven tracks to the Rock Band catalog on October 28 on Xbox Live and October 30 on PlayStation Network.

Siouxsie & the Banshees is bringing "Hong Kong Garden," "Kiss Them For Me," and "The Killing Jar" while Blink-182 adds "Dammit." Silversun Pickups has two songs: "Melatonin" and "Well Thought Out Twinkles" and Psychedelic Furs comes with "Pretty in Pink."

Each song is available for 160 Microsoft Points ($1.99 on PlayStation Network) or 440 Microsoft Points ($5.49 on PlayStation Network) for the three Siouxsie & the Banshees songs.

Wow. I think I'll be getting everything but the Blink-182 song, this is the best DLC week for me in a long time!

[King3567]

I'm liking the DLC for next week (if it's true). I'll probably pick up the two Silversun Pickups songs since I loved Lazy Eye. I too played Guitar Hero: World Tour's Guitar at my Best Buy. It felt exactly like the Les Paul (which I kinda liked, but my favorite is still the X-Plorer). The touch pad buttons felt terrible though. They don't stick out of the neck at all and there is absolutely no spacing between them. So basically, go to one of your old guitar hero guitars, take your index finger, and slide it up and down the middle of the neck and that's what it feels like. Not very intuitive at all.

The drums were....well, they were broken already so I can't really tell you about them (though I guess that can speak for them quality-wise). One thing I have to point out is how it holds the drums sticks. Instead of having two plastic things stick out in front of them to hold the sticks, they have indentations in the side of the drums to make them stand straight up which is a really weird choice. Enough of this Guitar Hero: World Tour discussion though, I'll start a thread for that before this one turns into a huge debate.

[Rock Bandit]

According to IGN, this is next weeks' DLC.

Dammit and Pretty in Pink are insta-buys. I might just boycott the Silversun Pickup songs soley because Riley likes them so much. :cool:

[Rejuvenile]

I went by my Best Buy yesterday and they had their Rock Band demo area decked out with the ION drum set. Man, that thing is pretty. Quiet as heck too (big deal for my apartment-dwelling ass). Asked an employee who said they weren't selling it yet (well, that was after the other employee who told me it was the RB2 set).

I wants it! My precious!

[Zanzibar]

Okay, sorry to bug everyone in this thread, but I gotta ask - has anyone played the RB2 drum set to give me an idea whether I should just plop down the money?

I have a launch-day RB1 set, it's not sensitive at all, so I really need to pound on them to play. Which makes them loud as hell. I've tried pads, which makes them quieter but a tad less sensitive, so I need to pound on them even HARDER to register hits.

Are the RB2 drums A> quieter, and B> more sensitive than the RB1 drums?

[divinechaos]

Get the RB2 drums if you're still with the original ones. They're a MILLION times better. They're not as quiet as I'd like them to be but the sensitivity is better and they just feel better too.

They are definitely quieter and more sensitive, but I never had the sensitivity problems you did with the original.

I am kind of waiting for world tour, and figuring out if I should get the RB2 drums, or WT drums, myself... and then craigslist my current drums. :)

I saw the World Tour ones set up at Best Buy. Didn't get a chance to check them out or play around with them though. I think I'd have to retrain my mind to work with the 3 pads + 2 cymbals set-up.

Yeah, that seriously fucked me up when I tried them.

Okay, sorry to bug everyone in this thread, but I gotta ask - has anyone played the RB2 drum set to give me an idea whether I should just plop down the money?

Definitely get the RB2 drums. The GH drums are pretty crappy and they have nothing to hold the bass pedal in place. Also, using the RB2 drums in GH will be much easier than trying to use the GH drums in RB2.
