Official Rock Band 2 thread

[D Mac]

I tried something and it worked. Turn on performance mode and no fail mode. Then go into solo vocal only and it will play the songs just like jukebox mode promised. You can just watch and listen.

[U-Warrior]

You playing on expert? I'm on hard in World Tour. I'm afraid that once I get to the hard songs, it will say I need to step up the difficulty. I can play easier songs on expert, but the hard ones I have trouble.

Yeah, but I havn't done much in world tour yet. I've been doing challenges to unlock everything, since it's faster.

[Kane Knight]

Got my Drumrocker kit in, but I have like ten minutes to get ready to go out to an appointment, and it's only aboot 80% complete. :mad: This always seems to happen.

It LOOKS pretty sexy, though. It's also gotten some good reviews from both VG sites and musicians (Who admittedly say it's not a top end kit, but that should be a no-brainer....)

[Kane Knight]

Also, :foc: at them saying my Omega Pedal may not be compatible. I love that fucking things.

[Fryza]

Ranked #82 out of four-hundred-something in 'Peace Sells' battle (H)

[Kane Knight]

Hey Fry, if you're still gonna be on shortly, IM me. I shut down my system after I got done playing on someone else's band, and since I was an idiot and shut it off, I don't want to turn it back on unless I'm gonna be playing.

[Funky Fly]

Should have pre ordered Funky. :p

http://www.jasonpiche.com/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderpictures/inignot.jpg
I hope you can see this because I'm doing it as hard as I can.

[Kane Knight]

There are a few copies at most stores around here.

What we lack is instruments.

[Funky Fly]

Not gonna have a chance to play for an extended period for a while anyway, but it sucks that I can't even get it yet.

[Kane Knight]

Yeah, that kinda blows. I'm just pissed because it looks like I'm going to have to dig around for a new Strat. Motherfuckers at Amazon didn't even bother telling me it's no longer available.

[Funky Fly]

lame

[Boomer]

I added you KK. Jtboomer2 for those who wish to play some time.

[Kane Knight]

I'll accept the invite soon as I get back on (Which shouldn't be that long, either).

[Boomer]

Had a guy just drop out of an online session because he refused to play Give It Away. Ugh. I mean I hate Panic!, but at least I'll play the damn song.

[Blitz]

Charts (guitar at least) are so much harder.

[Blitz]

Wow, fuck that riff on Chop Suey. Just fuck it.

[U-Warrior]

Wow, fuck that riff on Chop Suey. Just fuck it.

Right? It's a fucking cocksucker. I can get thru 50% of the song, till I hit the longer version of that riff.

[U-Warrior]

Ramblin' Man is a cum-guzzling tranny whore too. But at least thats broken up enough to pass.

[D Mac]

Boy I can't wait to play Painkiller on expert. :shifty:

It probably makes Green Grass and High Tides look like In Bloom.

[D Mac]

You know what DLC this game needs?

Weird Al Yankovic.

[U-Warrior]

I want heroes del silencio tbh. Ton a songs that would be mad fun on guitar and drums and vocals.

[U-Warrior]

So Watcha Want is fucking awful. On everything.

[U-Warrior]

Just an fyi, but you can choose which venue you want to play in quickplay. But you have to turn the option to do so on, in game modifiers first. Discovered it by accident. Was wondering where the option was.

[FearedSanctity]

I had a great time playing So Whatcha Want on bass and going into the kitchen to get a drink, standing behind the TV, playing behind the back, between the legs, etc. Shit is stupid easy on any difficulty and I have no idea how it even made it into the game

[D Mac]

So Watcha Want is fucking awful. On everything.

Its fun on vocals because I know most of the words. Funky song.

[D Mac]

I challenge anyone on TPWW to beat my streak of 603 on the Bass Streak Battle in Battle of the Bands.

[D Mac]

"YEEEEEEEEAHHHHHHH, You can't front on that!"

[Champion of Europa]

Saw that the song "Charlene (I'm Right Behind You)" by Stephen Colbert was downloadable for free.

This almost makes me wanna shell out the money for the game.

[D Mac]

[Kane Knight]

Finally played with a TPWWer. Fry, tried inviting you, too, but never heard back.

[Bo]

Im playing on my 360 right now if you want to join ( Gamertag MBtheGR81 )

[Kalyx triaD]

Angry/Jealous

[D Mac]

The best song on here is Carry on Wayward Son.

[El Fangel]

Question, if one person has a DLC song, and the other doesnt, they cant play it together right?

[D Mac]

right

[El Fangel]

Thats shitty. Oh well, I play to buy a few songs anyways.

So how do you buy Microsoft Points anyways?

[Kalyx triaD]

7/11, Gamestop... They come in 1600 and 5000(?) flavors.

I gotta say, the charts I've seen thus far are the best I've seen (and on two cases played) in my whole GH/RB experience. Laid back without being insulting, challenging without being obnoxious. Can't wait to own it.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Or just buy them online through the dashboard with a CC.

[Kane Knight]

Question, if one person has a DLC song, and the other doesnt, they cant play it together right?

Yeah, this is really dumb. I have like 170 songs between DLC and the Rock Band export, and a lot of people have almost none of them.

http://dlcquickplay.com/xbox/zacharyamaranth

This is the most I've ever spent on a toy, but there's so much good stuff.

If my friends come over here, we can play over 200 songs. If I play with them online, then we can play 80-ish or 130 with the export (If applicable).

It's kinda sad looking at my list in BWT, and seeing all this shit greyed out....:(

[U-Warrior]

Altogether, I have about 290 songs.

http://dlcquickplay.com/xbox/fignuts82

Also, is the Pixies album worth picking up? I mainly play guitar, but I enjoy drums too.

[Boomer]

I love Doolittle as an album, but I'm not sure a non-Pixies fan should pick it up. The guitar parts are fairly easy, but the drums can get really difficult. And one of the songs (Silver) shouldn't even really be a song on Rock Band. I like the song, but it is a way boring play.

[Kane Knight]

Altogether, I have about 290 songs.

http://dlcquickplay.com/xbox/fignuts82

Also, is the Pixies album worth picking up? I mainly play guitar, but I enjoy drums too.

If you like the Pixies, definintely. If not, it depends. The Pixies are a very simplistic post-punk act, in that they have minimal arrangements. You won't find a lot of shredding or variation in the leads. The drumming is pretty damn good, though, and some of the songs on the record are amazing, whether or not they're easy (Debaser is easy as fuck on vocals, because it's all "talkie," But since it's oen of my fave songs, I don't care).

As mentioned, Silver sucks. It's so retardedly simple it's not funny, with the exception of machine gunning a few orange notes on guitar. Unlike Boomer, I was never a fan of it; I just picked it up because it's so much cheaper to just buy the one song you don't want in with the package.

A side note, Kim Deal's Breeders are on one of the rumoured lists for the 20 free DLC. Hope it's true. :D

[DaveWadding]

[Kane Knight]

Man, the Ion set is so much easier on my leg. I played two five song sets today without so much as a twinge in my shin or calf. The only problem is it's massively loud compared to Every fucking pedal I've used. I mean, the Omega Pedal uses a real beater, and it's STILL quiet compared to this.

[Fryza]

If two people are playing on one console, then you cannot have a third or fourth playing via Live right?

Oh, and this. (http://dlcquickplay.com/xbox/carlitohashiba)

[Kane Knight]

As far as I can tell, you can. You just need to make sure to set it up on the online tour instead of the local. It'll allow you to press green on any given controllers before you select live players.

It would be awesome if you could play any song as long as the host had them, it would be very fair, as you could test out the song by playing with a friend before you buy it yourself.

And as I was typing that I had an epiphany, That WAS the original plan, Metallica wouldn't allow it as a stipulation in the rights to put their music on the game.

DAMN YOUSE, LARS! DAMN YOUSE TO HECK!

:lol:

Anyway, I think it's more an issue of practicality. Most of these songs are upwards of 10 MB, and so it'd be a pain to stream to the other folks.

[Kane Knight]

Ah, didnt think of that. It would pose a problem. It's still a bit of a letdown, though. I mean, all this talk of using your DLC in new ways, and it's still not really available in WT mode, and you can't select tracks your buddies don't have. It'd be nice if I could at least play with them online, even if my friends don't have them,

[Fryza]

Whoever decided to put that 'Rebel Girl' song into the game should be shot.

[Kane Knight]

Rebel Girl>j00

[El Fangel]

I may be able to get this sooner then I think, I may be having a monetary windfall soon im hoping. We shall see.

I want to play RB2 so bad right now.

[U-Warrior]

PDA is mad fun.

I just wish they had some singles this week.

[U-Warrior]

Holy shit, 3 full albums in a row. Would be awesome if I gave a shit about RHCP.

[Kane Knight]

Holy shit, 3 full albums in a row. Would be awesome if I gave a shit about RHCP.

This is why I was hoping we'd get other tracks as well.

Though I'm impressed that they've gone so long with records I like. This'll be the first time I don't buy a full album, I think.

[Funky Fly]

Probably gonna end up getting the rest of Screaming for Vengeance, all of Moving Pictures and Peace Sells. Glorious albums.

[Kane Knight]

I got three PS songs in a random setlist.

I love the album, love the band, but motherfucker, can it be a pain in your ass.

[Kane Knight]

But yea, I've got Moving Pictures, Peace Sells, Screaming, the Cars, Doolittle.

I don't count the Who, since it wasn't really an album.

What I love is how many people are calling for more Rush, even though we just got a new album. I love Rush, but come on.

[D Mac]

Megadeth sucks. A Metallica knock off.

[Funky Fly]

Megadeth sucks. A Metallica knock off.

You know that Metallica ripped off a lot of their music from Exodus (Kirk Hammet's band before joining Metallica) and Jason Newstead after he left the band? So in effect some of Metallica is ripped off Megadeth, not the other way around.

You're a fan, do your homework.

He's less a fan, and more a smark. You know those retards in the wrestling forum who are blindly devoted to given wrestlers, and confuse obsession with being "smart?"

[El Fangel]

Megadeth is the goods, Metallica kicks a member out, and we end up with two great metal bands. Pretty nice deal.

Fuck I want to play Rock Band

[D Mac]

Revealed the Endless Setlist 2 last night. Holy shit, 84 songs. :eek:

[Kane Knight]

One great metal band and Metallica.

[Kane Knight]

Revealed the Endless Setlist 2 last night. Holy shit, 84 songs. :eek:

Is that amazing?

You know, since the Endless Setlist encompasses all songs and the setlist is 84 songs long...

I unlocked it, but I haven't tackled it yet. I don't have that kinda of time in one sitting.

[D Mac]

I believe you can save in the middle of a set and go back to it later.

[D Mac]

I revealed it but it's blacked out ATM. Is it random songs or just all the RB 2 songs in order?

[Kane Knight]

I revealed it but it's blacked out ATM. Is it random songs or just all the RB 2 songs in order?

Oh, so you still need more stars to actually unlock it? It's all 84 songs in some specific order (Don't remember).

Also, far as I know, you can only save during challenges.

[D Mac]

THANK YOU FOR PURCHASING ROCK BAND 2

Please check back in a few days for the opportunity to enter your Registration Code
and sign up to receive the Bonus Downloadable Tracks.

It's been more then a few days. :mad:

[Kane Knight]

It's been more then a few days. :mad:

Yeah, it kinda sucks.

[Pegasus Crawford]

I revealed it but it's blacked out ATM. Is it random songs or just all the RB 2 songs in order?
It should be all RB2 songs in a particular order. To be able to play it, the requirements are to have at least 900 stars and pass the "Rolling Stone" gig.

Of course, if you can beat the Endless Setlist 2 without pausing and failing a song (a total fail, not just one band member failing), you'll obtain the "Bladder of Steel" Achievement. :D

[U-Warrior]

It's been more then a few days. :mad:

They are waiting for the ps3 release, most likely.

[D Mac]

I read at Gamespot it is a standalone disc that you can only buy at Wal Mart for 40 bucks. No word if you can import them into Rock Band 2.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

My US 360 has just RRoD'd so you can all fuck right off with your Rock Band 2 until it gets a PAL release.

[Blitz]

Thinking about buying that whole pack, but Shoot To Thrill+The Jack alone=:heart:

[Disturbed316]

klgiehgtipewhtgpieh Highway to Hell :love: rjghrewsughesghewughewh

[U-Warrior]

Definitely gonna havta hit up no fail, for the intro to thunderstruck.

[D Mac]

IGN updated it:

The AC/DC LIVE: Rock Band Track Pack will be available in the U.S. on Nov. 2 on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 2 and on Nov. 16 on the Wii. All versions will retail for $39.88, except the PS2 version, which will be $29.88. Europe, Australia and New Zealand will also get the pack for all four consoles in December (priced in Europe at €39.99 for PS3/360/Wii and €29.99 for PS2, while gamers down under will see one simple $49.99AUD price tag on all versions.)

All the tracks will also be available for play in Rock Band and Rock Band 2 by entering a special export authentication code for Xbox 360 and PS3. No word on if any AC/DC tracks (live or otherwise) will be made available as downloadable content without purchasing the retail Track Pack.

The New York Times is reporting that the standalone game will be sold exclusively at Wal-Mart and Sams Club stores, but a news release sent to media today by MTV Games did not mention such an agreement.

After contacting MTV Games for clarification, the company confirmed that the release will be sold exclusively at Wal-Mart and Sam's stores.

[Funky Fly]

... wow, expensive. I'd have just made it DLC so that you can mix and match. Plus Only at Walmart? Lame.

[D Mac]

Yeah and they're live tracks, not the studio masters.

[D Mac]

http://register.rockband.com//

Registration is now open! You can also give band and song suggestions on it.

I told them we need Godsmack.

[Kane Knight]

... wow, expensive. I'd have just made it DLC so that you can mix and match. Plus Only at Walmart? Lame.

"Ac/DC doesn't make singles, they make albums."

[Funky Fly]

They've made the same album 20 times and somehow keep selling millions.

[Destor]

Well it's a really good album

[Kane Knight]

They've made the same album 20 times and somehow keep selling millions.

Linkin Park still has that beat. I mean, they managed to release the same SINGLE 20 times and sell millions.

Anyway, I just loved that quote, because I can't think of a major Rock Band for which that is less true, even the current acts. Even folks like 3 Doors Down, who are basically known by their singles, could say that line without as much scrutiny.

Anyway, they've made the same collection of singles 20 times, and somehow keep selling millions.

I could go for individual tracks, but since we're not likely to get any, I'm not sure I'm gonna buy this.

[Kane Knight]

BTW, in perspective, Guitar Hero: Aerosmith was a better deal in terms of cost per song. I know that in Rock Band you have four parts instead of two, but GHA is a full-featured game, whereas this is still just a track pack, even if you can play a feature limited version of it without RB1/2.

[D Mac]

I might buy it, export the tracks into Rock Band 2, then sell it.

[U-Warrior]

Gonna wait till I see reviews for this pack, before I buy it.

[Funky Fly]

Well it's a really good album

Amen

[DaveWadding]

Apparently they're putting out a whole Crue album on the 14th.

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!

http://www.imeem.com/motleycrue/blogs/2008/09/30/I476yj9g/win_the_entire_catalogue_and_a_signed_copy_of_the_dirt

Track List:

* "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"

I think Spilly just came his pants.

[D Mac]

Probably just get Kickstart My Heart and Don't Go Away Mad, maybe Feelgood too.

[D Mac]

[Kalyx triaD]

Lord have mercy... three of my 5 fave Offspring tracks...

FUCK YES

...Static-X?

I hope "Somebody Told Me" is true. That would be a hoot at get togethers.

I said hoot.

[Kane Knight]

Yeah, Somebody Told Me would be a hoot, eh?

[Kalyx triaD]

Well... Where I'm from, ya know Miami? We care about things like family values and staying honest. And... we believe in our booming export and import economy. When America sees what I have in my heart, that is God's heart, they will understand that America comes first.

Hi daddy.

[El Fangel]

...Static-X?


Trust me, you want that song on RB

[Kalyx triaD]

Certain recommendations I follow up on without contest.

[D Mac]

Yeah, hope they come out with Bled for Days in the future, too.

[El Fangel]

If they put "The Only" on RB2, I will seriously sell shit to buy it.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Woooo, Taking Back Sunday

Bah, it's whats it feel like to be a ghost :wavesad:

[Kane Knight]

Stop! Basically contains everything I hate about the Hives, in a convenient non-Hives package. Well, except the singer doesn't sound like as big a douchebag....

[Kane Knight]

I might snag the Harvey Danger or Screaming Trees tracks. Probably depending on how they sound on my surround sound unit.

[D Mac]

I only know that Screaming Trees song because it's on the game The BIGS.

For some reason, I can't get enough of Our Truth by Lacuna Coil.

[Kane Knight]

Lcauna Coil is just plain aswesome, period.

[El Fangel]

^ True Story ^

[Disturbed316]

FINALLY Offspring is coming :love:

Bad to the Bone :love: Everyone should get that :love:

[D Mac]

Lcauna Coil is just plain aswesome, period.

I'm a little embarrased. Never even heard of them before Guitar Hero 3. Liked the song on there, but never checked any more of them out. Now Our Truth being awesome, I'm downloading their discography now finally.

[Kane Knight]

I'm missing a record or so from them (Two now, because I lent Comalies to Heidi and her brother stole it), but I love them.

[U-Warrior]

Their latest album is the weakest, imo, but it' still good.

[Kane Knight]

I don't think I've heard the new one. I had to look it up to find the name. I've loved everything up to it, though.

[El Fangel]

I suppose your liking of Lacuna Coil has absolutely nothing with your want to bang the hell out of Christina Scabbia

[Kane Knight]

Mine? Nah. I didn't know what she looked like when I started listening to them.

[Funky Fly]

I'd like to see more of their Comalies stuff in these games. Like release a pack with 4 or 5 songs (especially if Tight Rope and Heaven's A Lie are in it) and make my day.

[Kane Knight]

Heaven's a Lie would be great. :heart:

[El Fangel]

I agree with all people who have over 40,000 posts.

Awesome, give Harmonix some money, and they'll make a 6" figure of one of your in-game characters.

[Kalyx triaD]

That's actually pretty fuckin cool.

Yeah, we've known about this for quite some time. Unless the price has come down in the last month, though, I doubt I'll be taking it up.

[DaveWadding]

Evanescence >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Lacuna Coil

Nah, just fuckin. Lacuna Coil are actually pretty good. and Cristina Scabbia is about 21343654909876234567 times hawtter in person.

[Funky Fly]

Oh Reginold... I DISAGREE!

[D Mac]

Incorrect, Sir Dave.

[DaveWadding]

Black text, niggas.

[D Mac]

Hmm, stayed up to download the new songs and Offspring pack was missing.

[Kane Knight]

Hmm, stayed up to download the new songs and Offspring pack was missing.

Noticed. Also, can't download any other song right now.

Also, Evanescence is terrible. It's like saying Linkin Park>>>>>>>>>>Iced Earth.

Nu (genre) never beats the original.

[Disturbed316]

:mad: WHERE IS OFFSPRING?! :mad:

[Kane Knight]

:mad: WHERE IS OFFSPRING?! :mad:

Calm down, D-Mac...

...Sorry, usually it's D-Mac spazzing.

[Disturbed316]

:mad:

[D Mac]

The Offspring Battle is up, but still no Offspring.

[DaveWadding]

Its up now.

[D Mac]

They're all fun. Push It hurt my wrist on guitar.

[Kalyx triaD]

I looked up the chart video for Stop! and its unintentionally hilarious to me.

[Disturbed316]

The crowd singing along is much better in these tracks, I guess they programed them for RB2. Needs to hurry up and get released over here :mad:

[D Mac]

Ok I'm gunna do it. This Saturday I'm gonna get my ass up early and start on the Endless Setlist 2! Might take me all day, just hope the 360 don't overheat and get a RRoD!

[Kalyx triaD]

My loser-ass still plays on RB1, but the new DLC does have the crowd singing (awesome on "Pretty Fly").

I want RB2 so bad.

[D Mac]

Dr. Feelgood album is officially confirmed.

[Fryza]

Gonna download 'Push It' and 'Pretty Fly' later.

Need to play with you guys more. I played a few songs with Funky.

[Kane Knight]

I need to play with more of y'all too.

[DaveWadding]

Word.

[Kalyx triaD]

Pretty Fly is epic with the crowd singing along.

[U-Warrior]

K, so whats up for next week?

[Kane Knight]

Doctor Feelgood album.

[Pegasus Crawford]

Dr. Feelgood and Kickstart My Heart = INSTA-BUYS

[D Mac]

Doctor Feelgood album.

Which was already posted here ages ago, twice.

[Kane Knight]

Which was already posted here ages ago, twice.

Well, he asked.

[U-Warrior]

I am lazy and don't feel like loking through the thread on the offchance that it was announced earlier than friday.

Not when I can have the denziens of tpww simply tell me when I ask. I am their king, you see.

[D Mac]

righto :p

[Kane Knight]

On your knees when you address Lord Fagnuts!

[U-Warrior]

Lord Figburt Von Nuttenhousen III, to you.

[Fryza]

But not me.

[U-Warrior]

Yes, to you its Batman.

Don't tell anyone tho.

[U-Warrior]

...

wait.

[Kane Knight]

Dr. Feelgood is awesome. Album and song.

[Kane Knight]

Hey gang,

Here's the DLC for this week. It's a hearty helping of 7 Nirvana tracks! Dig in and enjoy!

Breed
Lounge Act
On a Plain
Polly
Something in the Way
Stay Away
Territorial Pissings


All tracks are masters.

The full Nirvana 7 Pack will $10.99 (880 Microsoft Points) or $1.99 (160 Microsoft Points) per track.

These tracks will be available on Xbox360 on October 21st and on the PS3 on October 23rd.

[D Mac]

SWEEET

[D Mac]

I was thinking yesterday that we need a Nirvana pack. Weird.

[D Mac]

Come as You Are or Lithium isn't on here. That kinda sucks.

[Kane Knight]

Come as You Are or Lithium isn't on here. That kinda sucks.

Nor is SLTS, the one that's gonna get all the fans wet.

I'm wagering three pack later.

[D Mac]

Hopefully they will be among our 20 free ones.

[U-Warrior]

Wow, dr. feelgood is the best album yet. Mad fun.

Just got my wireless sunburst controller too. Pretty hot.

[Disturbed316]

meh

[Kane Knight]

Hopefully they will be among our 20 free ones.

They won't.

The 20 DLC were intended to be on-disc. Not only would common sense indicate that they wouldn't repeat an artist who was on disc already, but they've actually said they won't be repeats as well.

[D Mac]

They might be saving one for Rock Band 3. Hope not.

[KingofOldSchool]

Bleh.

Wake me when they have a Pearl Jam pack.

[Kalyx triaD]

Those 20 extra tracks come in Nov.

[What Would Kevin Do?]

Holy shit, X Japan!

[Funky Fly]

X Japan is kinda cool, but I am severely disappointed by the rest of it.

[Blitz]

Hollywood Undead, Underoath, and X Japan are the only ones I'm really interested in. But it's 20 free, so I'm not complaining.

[What Would Kevin Do?]

I didn't notice Hollywood Undead on there... Although I'd prefer if they used "City" which is a great fucking song.

[Y2Ant]

I have been obsessed with Dr. Feelgood for the past 2 weeks, and as much as it rapes me on expert, I still fucking love it. Rock Band 2 can't come out here fast enough.

[Kane Knight]

he list is shit. :(

[D Mac]

Never heard of any of them.

[D Mac]

Hopefully you can delete ones you don't like.

[Kalyx triaD]

Can't imagine why you wouldn't be able to do that. I'll try out all the tracks whenever I get RB2 anyway, I might like something.

[D Mac]

http://www.rockband.com/forums/showthread.php?t=93235

There's some youtube vids of some of the songs in there.

[D Mac]

Checked some of them out and their not too bad.

[DaveWadding]

October 23, 2008 - 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."

http://xboxlive.ign.com/articles/923/923042p1.html

[Kane Knight]

Needs more "Slow Dive" And "Wheel's on Fire." Even if the latter is a cover.

[D Mac]

Well, here's one week where I won't be downloading any songs. :-\

[Kane Knight]

Because you hate good music.

[D Mac]

Seriously, these are all faggot bands. :foc:

[Kane Knight]

Siouxsie Sioux>You.

[D Mac]

Nothing is better then me. Faggot. :foc:

[D Mac]

Kane Knight is a btch!

[Kane Knight]

Nothing is better then a Faggot. :kiss:

[D Mac]

Now I have a hangover. :n:

[Kane Knight]

From all that cum you drank?

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Well, it finally has a PAL release date of "November".

Is the bass any good in this game? As mentioned in the GH4 thread, it's awesome on GH4, it's like the games only savior.

[Kane Knight]

Joke's on you. It's "November 2010." What do you mean by "any good?" A lot of people complain that bass is boring, but it's true to the instrument. Except on expert, there are more bass chords than I've ever seen in real bass playing.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Well, that "ever reliable source" GameFAQs has 08 :(

I like playing bass, I guess it's more song selection. In terms of the songs then, is there a good ratio of the machine gun ones and complex fingering rotations?

[Kane Knight]

Decent number of songs really are more than standing notes.

Rumored DLC for Nov. 4:


"Dune Buggy" - Presidents of the United States

Separate instruments will be available in December.

http://kotaku.com/5070599/are-the-beatles-coming-to-rock-band-2-and-not-guitar-hero

Apparently MTV Networks, owners of Harmonix, and Apple Corps Ltd, administrators of The Beatles releases of the 1960s, are holding a press conference tomorrow to make some announcement about an "exclusive agreement to develop a global music project."

The release lists a number of media contacts, including one of the main PR folks for Rock Band 2. This seems to back up what the Financial Times reported back in June. Though at the time it sounded like both Activision and Harmonix were wooing Apple Corps. Did Guitar Hero get the shaft or is another announcement, this one with Activision, hitting later this week? We'll update once we can needle out more official word.

Apple Corps Ltd. and MTV to Announce Exclusive Agreement to Develop Unprecedented Global Music Project

WHAT: Apple Corps Ltd. and MTV to announce an exclusive agreement to develop a global music project.

WHO: Jeff Jones, CEO of Apple Corps, Ltd.
Judy McGrath, Chairman and CEO of MTV Networks
Van Toffler, President of MTV Networks Music/Logo Group

WHEN: Thursday, October 30, 2008
2:00 pm UK Time, 10:00 am ET, 7:00 AM PT

Finally picked this up today.

My only question is could I rent the first one sometime, unlock the songs and then export them to Rockband 2?

Sounds stupid I know.

[Kalyx triaD]

It'll still cost ya.

[Pegasus Crawford]

You don't need to "unlock" the songs. Just buy the export key, use the export option in RB1, and 55 RB1 tracks will instantly be available in RB2.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

No it doesn't. It's the fucking Beatles and MTV. Hyperboyle central. I don't care if this circus is for half a DLC song, I'm so there.

[Kane Knight]

Finally picked this up today.

Yep. For five bucks, you can export the songs. If you want to rent the disc to do so, you can do it.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

The Beatles thing is it's own new game with "samples" of the entire Beatles library, going through the Beatles history. It is not a Rock Band game.

All the music will be the originals, not the re-release copies and imagery around The Beatles will be used throughout the game. No word on Rock Band exporting but they are saying it will be different to Rock Band, somehow.

[Bo]

Damn well I posted a thread in the fourm on the Beatles of well I can get bitched at for posting once in while I guess lol.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Just edit the title of the other thread, since it's not a Rock Band game anyways :)

[Kane Knight]

The official NOT ROCK BAND: BEATLES thread.

[D Mac]

Hey everybody,

So in addition to the 20 free DLC pack coming out next week we also have a three pack from Presidents of the United States of America (just in time for election day), a new track from Hinder, and a new track from Fallout Boy.

POTUS Three Pack

Presidents of the United States of America- Dune Buggy
Presidents of the United States of America- Feather Pluckn
Presidents of the United States of America- Ladybug

Hinder - Use Me
Fallout Boy - I Don't Care


Each of the POTUS tracks are $1.99 (160 Microsoft Points) or $5.49 (440 Microsoft Points) for the whole pack. The tracks for Hinder and Fallout Boy are $.99 (80 Microsoft Points) each for a limited time (1 month). All tracks are masters.

DLC arrives on Tuesday, November 4th for Xbox 360 and Thursday, November 6th on PS3.

[D Mac]

Might get Hinder. Not a huge fan of the song, but it's only 80 mp.

[Kane Knight]

I'd get FOB before Hinder.

[Bo]

I'd get FOB before Hinder.


I agree. Hinder is nothing more than a modern day 80's hair band.

[D Mac]

Free tracks anytime now, WOOOOOOOOOO

[D Mac]

Still no email. :mad:

[Kane Knight]

Yeah, nobody's got one.

[D Mac]

WTF!!!!!!!!!

[D Mac]

There was a problem with the 20 free downloads.

Microsoft can't handle giving away that much free stuff.

We're now charging a nominal fee of $1.99 per song to cover Microsoft's costs.

[D Mac]

I bet the 20 free DLC is another moving pictures type FAIL

Except this time they just aren't saying anything about it untill its tommorow and they have failed to get the free DLC out at which point they will be forced to admit their failure

[Pegasus Crawford]

From the official RB forum:
Hi Everyone:

The codes for the 20 free DLC on Microsoft will begin to go out this evening for redemption. Due to the volume of emails being sent, these will roll out over a 24 hour period. We appreciate your patience!

Thanks,

Harmonix.

PS3 users get jipped again? :(

[DaveWadding]

I still never entered my code...maybe I'll wait until later.

[Kane Knight]

From the official RB forum:


PS3 users get jipped again? :(

LOL. You're joking, right?

[Y2Ant]

FOB :love: :love: :love:

So I have 2 weeks to finish GH:WT which comes out on the 7th, since this comes out here on the 21st. :o

[D Mac]

Still haven't got mine. :n:

[Kane Knight]

Picked up both the FOB and Hinder tracks, BTW. I am ashamed.

[D Mac]

9 AM and the next day and still nobody has gotten their codes. Epic fail.

[D Mac]

From Harmonix:

We have hit an unexpected delay with getting the content online with Microsoft and are working diligently with them to get that resolved. We have suspended sending out the token codes until the content becomes available. Sending out the codes before the content is live will just result in more confusion. We hope to have this resolved in the next 24 hours and apologize profusely for the delay.

We're also working with Sony to get the content up on PS3 and the codes out. More on that as information becomes available.

Again, we apologize for the delay and are working our butts off to get the content out to you.

[Disturbed316]

Not bothered, they are all shit songs.

[D Mac]

Some of them I checked out were'nt all that bad.

[Kane Knight]

Most of them are mediocre to awful.

BTW, I can't help but laugh. After all the people bitched about this being M$'s fault, it's not set up for the PS3, either.

Think now we can just admit Harmonix fucked up?

[Pegasus Crawford]

Think now we can just admit Harmonix fucked up?

They did.

Now I'll be on my merry way and play some AC/DC. :D

[Kane Knight]

I'll be playing GOOD DLC

[D Mac]
