I'll probably get Molly's Chambers. And maybe Prayer of the Refugee.

Fairly poor week otherwise

D4RK ONION · 19-07-2009 9:41pm

And there's some Kings of Leon! I wonder if the pack comes with a special "sell out to the teeny boppers" option just before you get to play the song!

SELL OUT

Uh-oh! Looks like you've run out of cash because you've spent it all on alcohol, hoes and drugs! There's only one route left... Make an album which undermines everything you've worked to achieve over the past 6 years but appeals to the ravid teeny boppers and idiots!! Do you want to sell out and abandon your faithful fan base, but simantaneously make crap loads of money?

YEAH SURE!
NO WAY!

That would be awesome, I'd buy that.

calex71 · 21-07-2009 11:41am

So i picked up the Rancid pack this week, not the hardest songs in the world but ruby soho did give me some troubles

cedomination · 25-07-2009 12:07pm

The Blink 182 pack is going to make them so much money.

Possible Pantera DLC:

So apparently VH-1 Classic leaked the DLC for August 4th. My friend was watching earlier, as it was hip-hop time on Fuse, in his words. The video for one Cemetary Gates played. After the video, there was a recording that said "Play this song, and 5 other Pantera classics on Rock Band starting August 4th."

James Howlett · 25-07-2009 12:33pm

Sweet, will probably get all of these.

Probably.

calex71 · 25-07-2009 12:44pm

http://www.rockbandcontent.com/rbc/db/songs.php

Think i'll hold off on getting them blink tracks if there is going to be a big pantera one soon as points and $ are low :mad:

calex71 · 29-07-2009 11:11pm

I didn't know Harmonix released an Accordion for Rock Band.

calex71 · 15-08-2009 10:14am

Pleased to see the Blind Melon song on there , the rest does nothing for me.
Not a huge foo fighters fan , but they might be fun to play.

Twilightning · 15-08-2009 12:48pm

There's too much f*cking Foo Fighters on this game already. They got a full album and tons of other DLC, and now they're getting 3 more songs? Ridiculous.

I'm assuming if it was a band you loved, you wouldn't care. You could easily say there's too much Rush up, or too much Megadeth. If peace it sells, keep supplying!

This is the sort of game that's supposed to appeal to everyone though, across all genres of rock music. It's just too much bloody Foo Fighters. There's not nearly the same amount of Megadeth or Rush up compared to them anyway.

ongarite · 17-08-2009 1:50pm

Popular bands sell well as seen here by Keldon DLC popularity list.

Foo Fighters songs sell well and they obviously have no problem licensing their songs; makes financial sense to release more songs.
Iron Maiden (44K across 360, PS3) hasn't exactly set the DLC charts on-fire compared to Journey (190K) which was released around the same time.

D4RK ONION · 17-08-2009 3:57pm

As wonderful as Harmonix are, you need to remember, they're a business, and despite all the PR, they are looking for the same thing every other business is. Profit. And if Foo Fighters bring in the profit, then Foo Fighters stay in the DLC charts for-everlong. If Rush roll in the moo-lah then they will remain in the limelight.

I feel dirty after those puns...

Pearl Jam - Backspacer to be released on sunday

For the first time ever, Harmonix will be releasing a full album as DLC for Rock Band in conjunction with the album's general release.

Pearl Jam's new album, 'Backspacer', will hit the Rock Band Store on Sunday - the same day the album hits the shelves in stores.

For lucky US folk, a special edition can be purchased at Target for $29.99 and will include a code to download the full album DLC.

The full track listing is:

Gonna See My Friend
Got Some
The Fixer
Johnny Guitar
Just Breathe
Amongst the Waves
Unthought Known
Supersonic
Speed of Sound
Force of Nature
The End

Though the price for the full album via the Rock Band Store is yet too be revealed, I think it goes without saying that each track will cost 160 MSP.

Doubt ill be getting the whole thing, the fixer and just breath could be good ones though.

D4RK ONION · 18-09-2009 2:07pm

I just amn't that much of a pearl jam fan. That song "Alive" just drooooones on and ooooon... Wont be touching these.

ongarite · 18-09-2009 2:21pm

Are 3 of those songs cover versions (SuperSonic, Speed of Sound & The End) or are they just named after famous songs by well known bands?

D4RK ONION · 18-09-2009 2:43pm

From what I can tell, they're not covers

robby^5 · 26-09-2009 6:18pm

It's about damn time Alice in Chains got a little more Rock Band love, I'll be getting all 5 of those songs.

Still though, Dirt needs to be full album download.

calex71 · 27-09-2009 12:11pm

+1 for more songs off dirt, godsmack would be ace ..... the song not the band of the same name, though mind you Awake by Godsmack would be hella cool to play especially the breakdown in the middle

Guess ill never see any deftones in these games :mad:
but I can live in hope :pac:

D4RK ONION · 27-09-2009 3:58pm

With this new rock band network, I'd expect you'll see a lot more names being dropped into the hole, don't give up hope just yet!

calex71 · 28-09-2009 5:41pm

I just noticed the deal of the week this week is 25% off GH dlc :mad:

Why couldn't it be RB

D4RK ONION · 28-09-2009 6:12pm

Pretty clear that XBL pushing GH at the moment, what with the ingame avatars actually giving the stupid little things a slight reason to exist.

Twilightning · 28-09-2009 10:48pm

I'd say Activision shelled out a lot of cash to get those promotions going. Any attempt to revive a once great video game franchise that's becoming stagnant and old, repeating itself again and again.

Onto something that doesn't suck though, this week's DLC! Breaking Benjamin and Alice in Chains are an instant buy for me! Been waiting ages for Would?, and The Diary of Jane and So Cold are just an added bonus!

Well I got would? and Rooster today.

Rooster is brill!!!

Would? ........ Bitterly disappointed :mad:
The mix in the levels on the guitar track is aweful, the chorus is just pure noise !!!! Maybe just my setup ? Although I doubt that as everything else sounds fine.

Electric Six :eek:

I like dance epidemic but will be checking the videos of it b4 i consider it.
Electric 6 had some good tunes on the 1st 2 of their albums, these have to be very poor choices from them overall. Dance commander would have been sweet. Maybe Danger ! High Voltage is out already but don't recall seeing it. And their cover of radio ga ga would have been cool also. Oh well

calex71 · 03-10-2009 1:55pm

Sorry to go a little OT , well maybe not , didnt want to start a new thread

The Metal Track pack was quietly released on the 22nd Sept.

Artist Song Title
1. All That Remains Two Weeks
2. At the Gates Blinded By Fear
3. Black Tide ShockWave
4. Blue Oyster Cult Transmaniacon MC*
5. Bullet For My Valentine Waking the Demon
6. Children of Bodom Are You Dead Yet
7. Evile Thrasher
8. Godsmack I Stand Alone
9. The Haunted D.O.A.
10. Hawkwind Master Of The Universe*
11. I Mother Earth Levitate*
12. In This Moment Forever
13. Judas Priest Screaming for Vengeance
14. Lacuna Coil Closer
15. Lamb of God Laid to Rest
16. Motörhead Killed by Death*
17. Nazareth Hair of the Dog*
18. Queens of the Stone Age 3’s & 7’s
19. Rage Against The Machine Bulls On Parade*
20. Yngwie Malmsteen Red Devil

I haven't actually seen this in a single shop, mind you I'd really be only willing to pay max €20 for it anyway and doubt I'd get it for that much anywhere.

Just as a matter of interest does anyone know if the track packs have codes to import to RB2 or is a license like RB1?

Exclusives:

Edit: After doing some investigations seems that the metal pack will be going the same route as track pack 1, country and classic rock packs and there will be no pal release and the US discs are not region free
