Good idea eddie.

[PhantomaZero]

Great thread. Awesome news regarding the Coheed song!

[BubbaGump]

I hope the Oasis pack are the master tracks and not covers. I'm assuming songs with an asterisks at the end designate covers

I would sure as hell hope not. I also think it would be near impossible to replicate his voice.

I think the best indication is whether it says "by" or "as made famous by."

Call me crazy if I'm wrong.

Seems your both right. The ones with *'s all say "as made famous by" so I would consider those to be covers.

That Oasis pack might be the straw that broke my wallet and force me to finally go buy Rock Band.

[CalBear526]

I like the Oasis songs. Good times.

[CaseID]

I'll be getting the Oasis pack, just thinking the other day that they need to do a Blur pack.

[darkcloudinc]

and from the official website, it looks like the oasis pack is all master tracks.

[GoogleGuyy]

I like the Oasis songs. Good times.

Rock Band wows with 2.5 million song downloads

http://www.reuters.com/article/marketsNews/idUKN1726082620080118?rpc=64

[SilentD]

I'd buy alot more RB songs if there was a way for me to play them simply as music. They're more expensive then itunes, it'd be nice to be able to at play the tunes without having to play the game.

I brought this up on the wishlist thread at www.rockband.com.

MTV Games has announced that Rock Band players have purchased more than 2.5 million downloadable game levels since the game's November 20, 2007 launch, a player base that, according to NPD figures, has broken a million through December across both the Xbox 360 and PS3.

The latest NPD figures, quoted in a release from Microsoft, show that Rock Band has sold 463,000 units for the Xbox 360 and 174,000 units for the PS3. This is in addition to the total 382,000 units across both platforms sold in November. No figures for the PS2 version of the game have yet been made publicly available, though that version has no support for DLC.

Among the total player base, MTV says that the Metallica download pack, featuring the tracks "Ride The Lightning," "Blackened" and "And Justice For All," is currently the top-selling download. MTV says it will continue to release downloadable music levels weekly through 2008 through song packs, albums and individual tracks, with pricing varying from 80 to 240 Microsoft points.

MTVN Music Group/Logo Films president Van Toffler commented, "Our goal with Rock Band was to create an entirely new way for people to interact with the music they love. The incredible response to the downloadable content we've released to date motivates us even more to establish this platform as a way for people to discover new, up and coming artists through the game - in addition to delivering great game play experiences set to the music of mega-artists."

this better?

MTV has just announced that they plan to release stand alone expansion packs for those who do not have internet access.

MTV has told Reuters that once full albums start hitting and more and more artists are brought onboard, they'll be releasing standalone expansions. MTVN's Van Toffler:

We are talking to tons of bands, from indie to the most established ... to release not necessarily their entire catalog, but maybe some of their classic albums and do special packages around that.

fo' sho' ... lets pray they release decent expansion packs though

[SilentD]

Has anyone found any info on what the difficulties are for all the downloadable songs? I've looked and haven't really been able to find a good list. I'd like to know the difficulty of a song before I download it so I don't end up with a bunch of super difficult songs until I unlock all the songs in the world tour mode. I'm new to rythm games, and am only a medium guitarist right now.

If nobody else knows I say we start gathering one here.
After each song list the difficulty for each part for example:

Song. Artist Difficulty
Roxanne. The Police. G: 2, D: 4, V: 3

Wherer G: is guitar, D: is drums, V: is vocals.

The difficulty is:
Warming Up is a 1, each additional difficulty level is one higher.

The numbers I used for Roxanne were made up, once I get home I'll go through my downloaded songs and start making the list.

Speaking of expansion packs, how come x360 got an exclusive 3 song pack?

The best way I could say it is, guitar hero isn't forwards compatible or the rock band guitar isn't backwards compatible. I'm thinking it is the latter.

Anyhow, for not, there is no real way around this that is publicly available as of yet.

[hot_mamma311]

Thanks for the responses :)

Harmonix has said that the Rock Band guitar won't work on G.H. because G.H. only allows certain licensed guitars to work on it.

Harmonix is pushing for an open guitar standard so that both G.H. and R.B. guitars will be cross compatible.

If activision and G.H. weren't blocking a patch to allow the G.H. guitar to work on R.B. for the PS3 I'd probably buy G.H.3, but since it won't work I refuse to buy G.H.3 and even emailed activision.

Activision is the publisher of G.H.

No, not a real drummer. I just like to play maps on drums a lot. I'm ranked 19th on the leaderboards for that song :P The other songs on expert, not so good. I can't even beat run to the hills on Hard, that song is just frustrating.

My TV is the 50" Samsung DLP from the whole Best Buy Xbox deal a while back. Great tv for Rock band. Add me my GT is shockwave827, we should play some score duels or play in a band since i like guitar also.

You guys are cracking me up!

If you saw my tiny NYC living room, you would be crying for me. Just opened up RB the other night and because I got home late from work, I only played guitar so far. Was planning on doing drums tonight but am only leaving work now :-(

I have no idea where I am going to keep the kit as it doesn't really double as a coffee table. LOL

[flashbang217]

just start a multiplayer game and then do tug o war or score duel and then unranked game, then you can invite a friend.

oo cool.

Yeah I saw some of you guys on, but I couldn't really play.. I was just wasting some time before the superbowl party heh. Now that I have a huge TV, my house is the new place for games :P

"We Care A Lot" by Faith No More
"Calling Dr. Love" by Kiss

I don't know, "Losing My Religion" may top "Stand" only because that's when they took off and having to not only listen to that song on the radio non-stop but hear newly minted fanboys claim how it's the best REM song ever filled me with an intense desire to pull my hair out.

The only advantage it has is that it doesn't repeat the title 5,000 times.

But, yes, it's annoying. I'd be happy if the B-52s and REM were both permanently banned.

Sure. Wish it were better news.

(I guess the good news is that they're releasing stuff every week. Whether or not these tracks fit anyone's tastes -- and I'm sure they do -- it's likely they'll eventually get around to DLC I want, if only by attrition.)

It probably is in their best interest to keep it up since they're speculating that its a platform unto itself like Sega CD or 32x is to Sega Genesis. Well, you get the idea but I think this is showing more success than those two failures. lol :whee:

In essence, each song is basically a game cartridge. A short game at it but if you were to calculate amusement as dollars to minutes, it can far exceed a lot of craptacular games.

I disagree. it's better to wait because people will buy what is available.. then something good will come out, and it'll make them buy more songs...

if you look at march's releases.. a majority of the songs are from high-end artist.. which they know will sell itself, or maybe even the game to people who don't own RB yet

I for one am extremely dissapointed in the quality of the downloads made available for Rock Band.
I only downloaded the Mettalica Pack and 1 other song since it came out. I kept reading about all the great songs and albums that were going to be available. But nothing but junk (IMO) has came out since week 1.

[darkcloudinc]

I'm pleased with a good portion of the DLC so far. I've spent at least 30 dollars on rock band songs so far and possibly more with all these great songs that are slated for release already.

And I'm only going to get the STP song. I'd be happier if they released "Army Ants", though.

It's somewhat interesting to find out what bands are willing to sell out their music collection at every opportunity. (Of course, if I had a band, I'd be at the head of any such a line.)

This week's batch of Rock Band DLC is a triumvirate of Trent Reznor's industrial flare. It was noted in an copy of Official Xbox Magazine from late January, although for a March 18 release. The songs (all master tracks):

Nine Inch Nails pack (440 MS points / $5.49)

* March Of The Pigs -- (160 MS points / $1.99)
* The Collector -- (160 MS points / $1.99)
* The Perfect Drug -- (160 MS points / $1.99)

The songs will be available next Wednesday for Xbox 360 and Thursday for PlayStation 3. Videos of each found after the break. (http://www.joystiq.com/2008/02/22/rock-band-weekly-nine-inch-nails-three-pack/)

Sweet in time for my birthday.

I HATE the Police. The only decent song was on GH3 already so I don't need it on Rock Band too.

There is sooo much possibility with RB.

The prob is that we all like different genres of Rock. Sure there have been some packs avail, but doesn't mean I like all of the groupings.

I wasn't a Knack fan either, but My Sharona was fun to play.

There are some good Police songs that are fun to play. And if you don't like at least one Police song, then you don't deserve to be playing Rock Band. But yes, on the whole I would have liked to see more quality songs out by now.

Likewise, words cannot express how much I hate Nirvana.

Sorry if you like 'em, but I was so pissed when I learned that I HAD to play a Nirvana song to beat GHIII.

Thank goodness I have the option of whether or not to extensively include them in my Rock Band experience.

[sapphire7]

According to the WIKI the Feb. 25 song releases are the same as the March 18 songs...so are they switching the dates around on us.

Which wouldn't be the first time they've done it to us. But no complaints. Maybe they're release the nirvana nevermind album on that week instead.

[Eddiedundidit]

I HATE the Police. The only decent song was on GH3 already so I don't need it on Rock Band too.

There is sooo much possibility with RB.

The prob is that we all like different genres of Rock. Sure there have been some packs avail, but doesn't mean I like all of the groupings.

I wasn't a Knack fan either, but My Sharona was fun to play.

m-uh m-uh..my My Sharona!! :lol: good song, but its soo long to play. Guitar on expert is ridiculous

LOL, that was one of the first things I bought, Juke Box Hero!

I LOVE Foreigner. Would be great if they had a Foreigner only pack! I would be happy with Journey, too. Been playing "Anyway You Want It" over the weekend on GH3.

I did NOT like the NIN pack. Perfect drug was retarded to play. There was a point at which it just plain didn't make any sense. The fact that the songs picked are synthesized for the majority of their playtime makes it really hard to relate what you're doing to the song as it's being played...

I love NIN, but really didn't like the pack.

Quite frankly these are some songs that I most likely will play as little as possible.

Rock Band to receive Earache thrash next week

Hmxsean just posted next week's Rock Band DLC over on the official forums and all we can say is be prepared for some Earache thrash.

On Tuesday, March 18th Harmonix will release an Earache Thrash Pack to the XBLM for 440 Microsoft points comprised of three master tracks from Earache Records bands. Ear-aching master tracks including "Blinded By Fear" by At the Gates, "Thrasher" by Evile and "D.O.A." by The Haunted. As always, each chunk of musical DLC can also be purchased separately for 160 Microsoft points. And if you couldn't tell, yes we do have a frown on our face from today's announcement. Ever since we knew "D.O.A." was headed to Rock Band thanks to a little leak, we figured it would be from the Foo Fighters. Obviously, we were wrong. Hopefully The Haunted's "D.O.A." is equally enjoyable.

[jamegumb]

This week's DLC is now up for score-tracking:

* Blinded By Fear by At the Gates

* D.O.A. by The Haunted

* Thrasher by Evile

Each song costs $1.99 (160 Microsoft Points). Available on the Xbox LIVE® Marketplace and PLAYSTATION®Network.

Chart preview video links will be added as they become available. Enjoy!

Just a little while ago, HMXJohnlok announced next Tuesday's Rock Band DLC and Boston fans should get uber excited. Releasing to the XBLM on March 25th will be six Boston tracks sold separately for 160 Microsoft points each or as a six pack for 800 points. All songs are master recordings, all songs are Boston and all songs are wonderfully rocktacular. And here's what's headed our way:

* "More Than a Feeling" by Boston
* "Peace of Mind" by Boston
* "Smokin" by Boston
* "Rock & Roll Band" by Boston
* "Something About You" by Boston

Some really cool beats and the guitar parts sound awesome to play though I haven't tried that yet. Easily the DLC by faaaarr, in my opinion. I recommend everyone get this now!!!!!

You absolutely MUST grab the boston pack... especially if you play drums. This has been one of the most entertaining to play packs I've ever seen.

Songs have a lot of fun parts in them w/enough normal rhythm to recover from most tricky parts... so you get to test your skills, but keep on playing.

Next week for DLC we have the HMX Pack (previously only available via the OXM disc). Each track is $.99 (80 Microsoft Points) or $2.99 (240 Microsoft points) for the whole pack.


"Rock Rebellion" by Bang Camaro (master)

"Shake" by Count Zero (master)

"Super Sprode" by Freezepop (master)


Due to work Sony is doing on their store they won't be adding new material for a couple weeks so this won't release on PlayStation Store this week. When they go back up with new material in a few weeks, though, it will be there lovingly waiting for you. They will appear on Tuesday, April 8th, on Xbox 360.

Rock Band debuts Motley Crue 'Saints of Los Angeles' single

Late last night, we received a Rock Band DLC surprise with Harmonix announcing that a Motley Crue Rock Band track will be releasing XBLM today, April 15th. But the track isn't from Motley Crue's catalog of old music, it's actually their latest single "Saints of Los Angeles" making it the first single ever to make a Rock Band premiere. You can grab "Saints of Lost Angles" for the promotional price of 80 Microsoft points sometime later today when the normal Rock Band DLC hits the XBLM. Nice!

Rock Band Weekly: Jimmy Buffet and Disturbed

This, this may actually be the weirdest Rock Band Weekly ever. This week we get a combo platter of Jimmy Buffet and Disturbed. Our brain actually gave up for the rest of the week on this news, so we've really got nothing else left to add. But, we have pulled out the crushed ice and lime juice and are ready to waste away the weekend. This gives us hope that one day we'll get Abba Gold as a DLC album. Harmonix, make it so!

Two packs: Buffet (440 Microsoft Points / $5.50) and Disturbed (240 MS points / $3)

* "Margaritaville" - Jimmy Buffett (160 MS Points / $2)
* "Cheeseburger in Paradise" - Jimmy Buffett (160 MS Points / $2)
* "Volcano" - Jimmy Buffett (160 MS Points / $2)
* "Indestructible" - Disturbed (80 MS Points / $1)
* "Inside the Fire" - Disturbed (80 MS Points / $1)
* "Perfect Insanity" - Disturbed (80 MS Points / $1)

Videos for these tracks can be found after the break (one Disturbed video may be NSFW). DLC will be available next Tuesday and Thursday for Xbox 360 and PS3 respectively.

isn't it odd that these two packs from two different genres are being released at the same time?

Sounds like a great way to keep a wider audience happy with the DLC.

June 24th eh? That's when Season 4 starts in WoW... 'fraid I'll be tied up.

[Eddiedundidit]

[highfloydelity]

Season 4? In WoW? How does that make sense?

[Clobbersaurus]

The season finale of Season 3 was sad. It was when Henry Blake was shot down over the Sea Of Japan. Hopefully Season 4 will be good.

Weezer and Pixies' 'Doolittle' DLC release to Rock Band next Tuesday [update]

Update: Looks like on top of the Pixies DLC we'll also be getting a Weezer Track Pack next week, featuring songs from their latest album including "Dreamin'", "Troublemaker" and the freakin' amazing song "The Greatest Man That Ever Lived". 440 MS points for the pack or 160 MS points for each song. And because "The Greatest Man That Ever Lived" is so freakin' amazing, we've embedded it above. Enjoy!

Today is Rock Band DLC announcement Friday and what an unsurprising DLC announcement Friday it is. Actually, Harmonix didn't even have to announce next week's DLC today, because we already knew about it thanks to IGN's release date mishap that went down earlier this week. So, this is more of a DLC reminder. Ahem, next Tuesday, June 24th the Pixies' Doolittle album will release as Rock Band DLC in its entirety, fourteen tracks all for 1520 Microsoft points or individually for 160 points each. View the complete Doolittle DLC list after the break.

July 15th, Rock Band gets The Who DLC

You've been waiting for it, you've been demanding it and you've been whining for it for the past year. Rock Band downloadable content from The Who will officially be making its way into the Rock Band DLC library on Tuesday, July 15th. Woo-Who!

Confirmation of The Who DLC comes from the official press release announcing Rock Band 2, where they mention that twelve songs from The Who including "My Generation" and "Who Are You" will release to the XBLM for $1.99 a track (160 MS points) or as a bundled download for $19.99 (1600 MS points). Note though that The Who DLC will NOT be the entire Who's Next album but will instead be a compilation of twelve tracks. The reason being that (as rumored) they had troubles locating the master recordings of certain songs. No matter though, we're getting twelve tracks from The Who, so be happy!

[Eddiedundidit]

The Best of The Who Rock Band tracklist revealed

Before giving us a chance to ponder what could make its way onto the replacement set list for Rock Band's The Who DLC comes an official press release from the official website for the classic band. Included in the compilation release are three original tracks from the originally scheduled, and subsequently canceled, Who's Next album as well as three Live recordings. While it may not include all your favorite Who tracks (Sup, Pinball Wizard?) it does have a wide assortment of awesomeness.

The Best of The Who Rock Band Edition (1600 MS points / $20) -- All songs are also sold individually (160 MS Points / $2)

* "Amazing Journey"
* "Baba O'Riley"
* "Behind Blue Eyes"
* "Eminence Front"
* "Going Mobile"
* "Leaving Here"
* "My Generation" (LIVE)
* "Real Good Looking Boy"
* "Sea & Sand"
* "Summertime Blues" (LIVE)
* "Who Are You"
* "Young Man Blues" (LIVE)

Videos of the songs can be found after the break. The Best of The Who is expected the week of July 15.

Rock Band Weekly: Red Hot Rush Edition

You didn't think all this talk of Rock Band 2 made us forget about the beloved original, did you? This week in Rock Band Weekly, Harmonix brings us a double-shot of Rush and Red Hot Chili Peppers.

Rock Band tracks drop Tuesday, July 8, for 160MS Points ($2) a piece.

* "Closer to the Heart" - Rush
* "Working Man (Alternative Cut)" - Rush
* "Snow (Hey, Oh)" - Red Hot Chili Peppers
* "Tell Me Baby" - Red Hot Chili Peppers

All releases this week are master tracks, a trend we like seeing continue with Rock Band. Rock Band enthusiasts will remember a cover-cut of "Working Man" was already made available in previous Rock Band DLC, but this alternative cut is all Rush.

Looks like a good week, dang, should I get Working Man again?

[wizard7926]

Bleh, put some OLD Chili Peppers out, please!

[BubbaGump]

Wow, Tell Me Baby really works the bass pedal on drums, took me 3 tries to get through it on Expert

[flashbang217]

tell my baby is really awkward in certain parts middle and ending... i think because the chart a high hat closing and it just feels weird. Found one of my favorite drums songs though, Afterlife is just awesome even though it came out a few weeks ago I just bought it last week.

Rock Band DLC: Scars, Staind, Testament and New

Hmxsean just posted a list of next week's Rock Band downloadable content over on the Rock Band forums and what a variety we're being treated to. A total of four tracks will be making their way to the XBLM on Tuesday, July 29th including music from Scars on Broadway, Staind and Testament each for 160 Microsoft points and an 80 point track from The New No 2. List of upcoming DLC tracks below, Scars on Broadway "They Say" video above and its lyrics make it totally NSFW. It's too good not to embed, but there are a few f-bombs. You've been warned.

* "They Say" by Scars on Broadway (160)
* "This is It" by Staind (160)
* "Electric Crown" by Testament (160)
* "Yomp" by The New No 2 (80)

[Eddiedundidit]

Rock Band Weekly: Staind, Testament, Scars on Broadway, The New No 2

Harmonix announced its tracks for next week's Rock Band DLC and it's a slathering of metal. Yes, we're sure there's a better way to describe these bands than just saying "metal." Alternative metal? Post-modern alternative metal? Thrash pre-philosophy metal? Alternative existential rock? We can't keep track of sub-genres anymore.

Individual songs (160 MS points/ $2)

* "They Say" - Scars on Broadway (160 MS points/ $2)
* "This is it" - Staind (160 MS points/ $2)
* "Electric Crown" - Testament (160 MS points/ $2)
* "Yomp" - The New No 2 (80 MS points/ $1)

Check out videos for these songs after the break. The tracks will be available for download next Tuesday and Thursday for Xbox 360 and PS3, respectively.

[Ashley_Tisdale]

I dont get the choice of the STAIND song.. why not put the new song, BELIEVE, on there to promote it :( Or at least a good STAIND song..

Scars on Broadway blow. I dont care if they are part of SOAD or not, the single is freaking garbage -_-V

These tracks are paid for.. so i'm sure ROCK Band isn't spending much $$ on them... compared to songs that sell well.

Cost less... and they can say they have STAIND on their game title.
