    You'll be waiting until September I'd say, his new album is due then. Was it mentioned anywhere that we were getting PC or Genisis DLC?

    I don't think so. A Genesis/solo mixture would be nice though! A number of his famous songs feature piano heavily, that'd suit 3 pretty well.

    1st time in a while I have been both surprised and delighted and ungrateful because of the song selected.
    Blondie – “Rapture”
    dc Talk – “Jesus Freak”
    The Decemberists – “The Perfect Crime # 2”
    Eagles of Death Metal – “I Only Want You” +
    Eels – “Saturday Morning” +
    Family Force 5 – “Love Addict”
    KMFDM – “Sturm & Drang”
    La Roux – “Bulletproof” +

    Never in a million years thought I'd see the Decemberists in RB , one of my favourite bands :) Shakes fist HMX over the song they picked though.

    Deffo gonna pick up the Family Force 5 song, love me some christian rock crunk

    Bulletproof is an odd one to be releasing pre RB3 as there is no guitar to speak of and it's very 'keys friendly'


  • Moderators Posts: 8,678 ✭✭✭D4RK ONION


    I'd imagine at this point they begun hiding the piano tracks in their new DLC? Just a guess really. Nothing there I want tbh, been AGES since I've seen a release and said MUST HAVE.

    They have been hiding the piano for a while, they said as much as one of the e3 interviews I saw. Bulletproof will be great on keys and vocals. Eels, FF5 and decemberists all must haves for me eventually, But ill be spending my points on Castlevania this week I think :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,126 ✭✭✭✭calex71


    Well I was wrong about no guitar on the La Roux song :rolleyes:

    The charted the keys for guitar and it looks like a tricky one too :eek:

    This one will be hella fun in RB3 with proper keys



  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,126 ✭✭✭✭calex71


    Free Song Alert

    Saw one today called "Rock Band Network Megamix 01" - for free :)
    It's a mash up of stuff from the rock band network but is on the regular music store so available to all with a gold live account.

    I didn't see it listed on the game's store but it is listed on xbox.com if you look under rock band store.

    They will hit the 2000 songs mark next week :eek:

    The 2000th song will be "Are you experienced" by Jimi Handrix

    On a dlc note , picked up How We Operate by Gomez earlier (it's on RBN) something like that surely deserves to be on proper marketplace?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,126 ✭✭✭✭calex71


    Next week 19th Nov is a cracker for me :)
    Stone Temple Pilots – “Big Empty”
    Stone Temple Pilots – “Crackerman”
    Stone Temple Pilots – “Creep”
    Stone Temple Pilots – “Dead & Bloated”
    Stone Temple Pilots – “Huckleberry Crumble”
    Stone Temple Pilots – “Trippin’ on a Hole in a Paper Heart”
    Jimmy Eat World – “Bleed American”
    Jimmy Eat World – “My Best Theory” +
    Jimmy Eat World – “Pain”

    I am predicting Doors, Rush, Bon Jovi, and Billy Joel in the next 4 weeks ;)


  • Moderators Posts: 8,678 ✭✭✭D4RK ONION


    I'll get "Trippin' on a hole" to continue my "construct a GH2 set list in RB" mission :) I could leave everything else though.

I'm cough 30 and saw , sepultura, machine head, pantera, biohazard (all 10 minutes of it ) megadeth (euthanasia tour) Alice in chains , Korn when they came on played the 1st album said nothing and walked off , placebo when they was still good, skunk anansie, Smashing pumpkins before they turned **** . Green day on the nimrod tour, offspring on the pretty fly for a nice guy buzz actually i think that was the last gig I was at there.

    Edit: The time Butron C bell from Fear Factory nearly ripped arm off pulling me over the barrier lol good times

    Edit Edit : Dave Gothl from foo fighters wearing the hat I threw up on stage when they toured the 1st abum there. :D

    Not a bon jovi fan but boy do I like their songs in RB , was only thinking the other day how cool it would be to get Bad Medicine :)

    Not sure if I want to get the ones I already have just for the added keys though.

    And that's 3 out of 4 for my predictions that have come out so on that form surely we'll be getting Billy Joel next :confused:

    Phil Collins please!! WHY IS THERE NO PHIL?!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 16,339 ✭✭✭✭tman


    As predicted, Blue Monday is ****ing awesome!!!
    I was half expecting a radio edit of it, but nope, we get the full 7:32:)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,485 ✭✭✭Mr. K


    I'm kinda tempted by Bon Jovi, they'd be fun to play. I don't particularly want two versions of the songs I have already though...

    I haven't seen a side by side and haven't played the new one but the charts look to be the same just with keys added.

    That's a damn shame. I'd be willing to pay a bit extra for the added keys, but paying full whack for songs I already have seems a bit unfair. I was hoping there would be a way to update some songs that really could do with keys - Baba O'Reilly, half of Lego Rock Band :pac: - but full whack means I'll probably only pick and choose a handful of the best if they're re-released.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,126 ✭✭✭✭calex71


    Being asked to pay extra for pro guitar and bass bits when keys and pro drums are included in the regular version is super f**king cheeky in my opinion!!!!!! after all when you consider the cost of a pro guitar :mad:

    They really knew the ratios of guitar players vs every one else there didn't they.

    Bad news for anyone who is sticking with RB 1 or 2 new dlc wont be happeneing for those. It will only work with RB3 from now on.

    http://www.joystiq.com/2010/11/09/psa-all-forthcoming-rock-band-dlc-incompatible-with-rb1-rb2/
    Rock Band DLC released after October 26, 2010, is Rock Band 3 specific and will not be compatible with previous versions of the platform. This rule applies to all future Rock Band DLC, whether it's labeled "RB3 version" or not. Songs released before that cutoff date will remain available and compatible with the first two Rock Band titles. Also, new RBN tracks will be compatible with all versions.

    A Harmonix representative explained to Joystiq that new tracks won't be backwards compatible "due to the new authoring standards, inclusion of new instruments, new lighting / venue cues, etc."

    Although it's a bummer that owners of earlier Rock Band games won't be able to play new tracks, they won't easily be able to purchase the tracks by accident. Any songs released after 10/26 will not show up in the Rock Band and Rock Band 2 in-game store, nor will they show up in the standalone music store app or under RB1 or RB2 on the console's marketplace.

    Kind of sucks for them, but I'm sure there'll be no excuse not to own RB3 soon as it will drop to stupidly low prices thanks to poor sales:(

    OT, but I have the feeling this might be the last hurrah for the series...

    AVOID "headphones on" at all costs!!!
    "Am I crazy" is quite a fun song to play along to, definitely my favourite of the freebies

    If you want a quick fix of songs, borrow or rent RB1 and export the songs from that for 400 ms points

    Indeed! I never bought the Queen pack, so I'll pick this up ASAP, but I feel your pain. If Boston, Grateful Dead, Bowie, etc. ever get updated then I'm in the same position!

    The way they're going about this is a slap in the face, and is unacceptable!

    Poor show HMX :mad:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,126 ✭✭✭✭calex71


    Not even offering a discount on them to people who already got them :mad:

    :mad:

    The duck is this? I knew it was a long time coming but as happy as I am that Sonata Arctica finally get on RBN I can't help but feel as though it was a wasted chance as guess what,

    No vocal harmonies and no keys.

    I know that Harmonix are currently revising RBN so that future content can feature RB3s awesome additions but like... no keys or harmonies???

    Edit: Also, any fans of bands under Nuclear Blast should give this a click http://www.nuclearblastusa.com/Splash/RockBand/index.html. It may brighten up your future for RBN DLC.


  • Moderators Posts: 8,678 ✭✭✭D4RK ONION


    Careful, if you get it now, they might "RB3 VERSION" it later and you'll have to pay again. :rolleyes:

    Have to confess a major weakness for Haley also but for what are likely more sinister reasons :D

    It's a piano tastic song though

    The video reminds me of my time spent in eastern EU lol
