Neverending Rock Band DLC Thread

[Termie]

Another early DLC announcement for Thanksgiving. Up next week, a pack for Roadrunner including a new Dream Theater single. Plus, an 80s classic "We Built This City" by Starship. Sure, it may be cheesy but I'm jumping on it anyway.

The cheesier the better! My favorite song so far is Paradise by the Dashboard Light, by Meat Loaf. There is no better guy/girl duet.

Yeah that whole Heartache Duets pack is awesome.

I was on vacation so this is a bit late, but Harmonix unleashed a totally unexpected surprise for next week - another awesome pack of Queen! I wish that this pack would have included some of the Highlander songs, but HMX has indicated that the movie tracks are more complicated to license than their other stuff. Still, I can't complain about great stuff like Stone Cold Crazy and The Show Must Go On.

DLC Week of 12/6 - Queen 9 Pack! Don't Stop Me Now, Stone Cold Crazy, Bicycle Race!

I'm so glad there's finally an Opeth song on RB, it's really fun to play and Ghosts of Perdition is one of my fav songs from them. I got the new DT song too, it's one of their easier songs, I can actually get through it on guitar lol.

 

[Pheran]

Whoa, this is totally unofficial, but I'm massively excited. RockBandAide is reporting that the French Rock Band store is displaying an item (currently not downloadable) called "Rush 2112". HUGE Christmas present for me if this turns out to be real DLC.

 

[Pheran]

Queen followed by Rush?? Harmonix is ON FIRE! Surprisingly, this isn't 2112, but the announcement also says, "These three tracks are just the tip of the iceberg for Rush fans; we’ll have even more exciting Rush/Rock Band news before the year’s out, so stay tuned!", so I'm still hopeful for that.

I thought the Highlander\Queen songs were just Queen songs as there has never been an official soundtrack for highlander.

 

[Pheran]

Harmonix seems absolutely determined to end this year with a bang as they keep rolliing out the mega-artists. Next week there is a new pack of Jimi Hendrix, including the classic "All Along the Watchtower". I'm not a huge Jimi fan, but I will definitely pick that song up.

On December 20th, Harmonix is proud to be adding seven classic Hendrix tracks to the Rock Band Music Store.

1968’s Hendrix-produced Electric Ladyland album features some of the musician’s most popular and enduring songs.

An incendiary live performance of “Voodoo Child (Slight Return),” recorded at the legendary Woodstock festival, is also included in the pack. The pack of seven tracks also includes “Dolly Dagger” “Freedom” and “Angel” from First Rays Of The New Rising Sun. These songs were originally recorded for 1971’s Rainbow Bridge and The Cry of Love albums.

OK folks, we will see who is paying attention. Here's a Christmas present for someone. This is only usable for Xbox 360. This is a DLC code for a free RB3 Ozzy Osbourne DLC pack, including:

Rush is my favorite band, so all I can say to this is: F#@$ YEAH!!!

Hey gang,

Harmonix today announced that Rush’s ambitious seven-part suite “2112” will come to the Rock Band™ Music Store of downloadable content for the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system and Wii™.

In 1976, legendary Canadian rock trio Rush released their groundbreaking fourth studio album, 2112. With its opening track – a 20-minute, seven-part suite known as “2112” – Rush painted a picture of a sci-fi world in the midst of a revolution, controlled by technology. An alternate take of this epic suite, largely considered one of the most important pieces in progressive rock, comes to Rock Band just in time for the New Year.

“2112” will be offered as three separate playable packages: one combines “Overture” and “The Temple of Syrinx”; the second features “Discovery” and “Presentation”; and the final track brings “Oracle: The Dream,” “Soliloquy,” and “Grand Finale.”

Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 players have the option to purchase the single Rush “2112” pack, which features all three of the above tracks, as well as one, 20-minute marathon medley of all seven parts of the suite, exclusively available in this special pack. Additionally, as a bonus, players will receive Pro Guitar and Pro Bass upgrades for all three packages, as well as a Pro Guitar and Pro Bass upgrade for the medley for free!

Available on Xbox 360 (December 31, 2011), and PlayStation and Wii (January 3rd, 2012)

• Rush – “2112: Overture, The Temple of Syrinx” X
• Rush – “2112: Discovery, Presentation” X
• Rush – “2112: Oracle: The Dream, Soliloquy, Grand Finale” X

$5.49 USD, £2.49 UK, €3.99 EU (440 Microsoft Points, 550 Wii Points™) for the “Rush ‘2112’” pack
$1.99 USD, £.99 UK, €1.49 EU (160 Microsoft Points, 200 Wii Points™) per song

Man Harmonix seriously has my kudos for keeping up with the DLC. Shit like this needs to be supported 100%. I wish I played more.

 

[Pheran]

While I appreciate 80s music, I'm kind of conflicted about this pack because I'm not entirely thrilled with the song choices. I would have preferred You Make My Dreams and Rich Girl. Still, I won't be complaining about anything for a while after the sheer awesomeness of 2112.

DLC Week of 1/10 - Hall & Oates 3 Pack! Private Eyes, I Can't Go For That & Maneater!

Hey gang,

Oh goodness, classic 80s cheese.

"I [can] go for that, ([yes] can do)!"

Too bad the downloads don't come with an Oates-style mustache to add to our avatars!

Did you know that H&O had six number-one billboard hits? Man, they were giants.

 

[Pheran]

If the Edgar Winter Group has you saying "Who?", take a listen (links in OP!) and you'll have an "Oh that song!" moment. Light week for me, but I may get Free Ride.

A Pro Guitar and Pro Bass upgrade will also be available for the instrumental jam, “Frankenstein.”

More than 25 years later, metal band KoRn was getting its first taste of mainstream success. “Freak on a Leash,” off of 1998’s Follow the Leader, was one of the band’s most successful singles.

Up next week - just about anything you could complain that was missing from the previous excellent CCR 12-pack, HMX is delivering next week with an additional 3-pack of hits. I really like the 12-pack so I will pick this up.

DLC Week of 1/24 - Creedence Clearwater Revival 3 Pack!

Hey gang,

Creedence Clearwater Revival and their music resonated with audiences of the late-60s and 70s, with a rock and roll style that blended diverse musical styles into a tight and distinct sound. The band found success with songs that evoked imagery of Southern Americana… despite the fact that the band itself was from California!

Their first hit single, “Susie Q,” from 1976’s Chronicle, Vol. 1, first appeared on their self-titled 1968 album, and was their take on rockabilly legend Dale Hawkins’ influential classic. The group found further success with originals, including “Lodi” from 1969’s Green River and “Have You Ever Seen the Rain?” from 1970’s Pendulum.

These three landmarks in rock history come to the Rock Band Music Store on January 24th as “Creedence Clearwater Revival Pack 02.” For those interested in a deeper dive into a classic, a Pro Guitar and Pro Bass upgrade for “Have You Ever Seen the Rain?” will be available.

Three singles next week, and Tears for Fears gets a thumbs up from me; it's a nice addition to Everybody Wants to Rule the World that came on disc.

As much as I like listening to Tears for Fears, I found that their stuff isn't ideal for Rock Band. It's almost a bit too "soothing." Kind of like playing smooth jazz on Rock Band.

 

[Pheran]

This Valentine’s Day, Harmonix proudly presents a collection of time-honored tunes about love and heartache… the “Gold Star My Heart Pack”!

Heart’s power ballad, “Alone,” from 1987’s Bad Animals kicks off the pack. This special collection also includes Mr. Big’s tender acoustic number 1 hit “To Be With You,” from their 1991 album, Lean into It. “Every Rose Has Its Thorn,” Poison’s now classic rock and roll ballad is also included. And what would this special Valentine’s Day delight be without Rick Astley’s “Never Gonna Give You Up”?
