We looked it up in quickplay later, and what I'm guessing happened is that since it's listed as coming from the greatest hits album, the release year reads "2006 (1985)", so it's counting the song as a 2006 song. I wish they'd fix that, because if any song could be considered a quintessential 80's song, it's 'The Power of Love'.

That's odd, because they actually have separate bits of metadata for "Year" and "Decade." For example the Styx songs will sort with "80s Hits" even though they are listed as 2009 re-records. I think there are just some weird issues with the Road Challenges. When I did an Alternative Setlist I only had like 20 songs to choose from - I have a 650-song library which includes all the full-game exports, so I know that can't be right. Not sure if this is an intentional limitation of the road challenges (possibly filtering for songs of a certain difficulty?) or an honest-to-goodness glitch.

They've mentioned that they're aware of the problem at least. It looks like the only lasting DLC issue will be with a couple of songs that were on the European disc version of RB1. Whatever licensing issue that kept them out of the disc export is blocking their U.S. DLC versions as well.

Simple question

Is there any way to turn off karaoke mode in Rock Band 3 when playing with more than two players.

I noticed that when I play just two player co-op it is fine but once we add a third player
Guitar, Bass and Keyboard that it automatically turns on Karaoke mode and there seems to be no way to get rid of it. Thanks

Did RBN's site change? I can't find the "added" column header and would like to sort by newest to oldest songs added.

Ok, here's a weird one. As a preface, this did NOT happen in Rock Band 2.

I had Wanted Dead or Alive come up randomly in RB3. This is kind of hard to explain, but while playing it, I noticed some minor skipping/distortion noises, sort of like what you hear if you rip a CD and there are problems with it.

That's the only song I've noticed it on - I had the Pixies song also from RB1 in the same setlist and it was fine. I could almost understand that maybe there were problems with the rip (since RB1 really is an export and not a download), except for the fact that in Rock Band 2 this problem didn't happen.

Someone else want to give WDoA a shot in RB3 and see if it's happening for them too? I did only play it once but I'm going to give it another shot and see if it still happens.

We were bitching about this a few pages ago. For some reason they removed the column. Really, the best browse-by-date chart is now in the game itself...which sucks for people just wanting to quickly check it, hopefully there will be a better alternative soon. There are sites that have lists but they are not up to the minute (not to mention occasionally ahead of schedule) like the one on rockband.com was.

Nah, it forces the karaoke mode for the combination of guitar, bass, and keys. I have no idea why.

Yeah, I just now read those posts (I took a break from this thread from a while). Don't know why they had to go mess up a good thing. I'd buy more tracks if I could view it the way it used to be.

And I hope that we (by "we", I mean "I") don't have to wait much longer for Dimmu Borgir.

Played it twice this weekend and didn't notice anything. Although I do think it may be possible to get the 60 and 90 second overdrive challenges by yourself on this song. I didn't do it, but I ed up one section where I think I could have made it happen.

At least you can sort this list:

Here's one that was mentioned a few pages ago...still not perfect but better than nothing. Select the tab you want to view, it is sorted by most recent date first.

Alllllllsooooo...

Attention Puny Earthlings! Ziltoid has an announcement for your feeble brains. We've received word that Ziltoid the Omniscient has discovered Earth's love for all things Rock Band. Nothing would please him more than to ridicule "all the sexually repressed adults with their toy guitars" (his words not mine) that play this Rock Band game. So Ziltoid has once again set his sights on Earth, and nothing but the total subjugation of the best of the best Rock Band players will satiate him. All we've managed to secure so far is this lone image posted on Ziltoid's myspace page : http://i233.photobucket.com/albums/e...1_rockthis.jpg Ziltoid's arrival is imminent. Are you ready?

Should be out by Xmas according to the authoring group.

The other day I had the "MTV Hits" cable channel on, and I thought it was odd that they showed the video for "Been Caught Stealing" (since the channel normally plays current stuff). Turns out they were doing a Rock Band 3 special and specifically showing videos of songs from the game. I thought that was pretty neat.

Not sure if this has been linked before...if so, it hasn't been recently. Online radio station streaming songs from every RB game.

Is there any way to edit or get rid of "recommendations?" I will NEVER buy any Stone Temple Pilots DLC, so why are all of them "recommended" when I normally play 60's through 80's songs?

^ You can turn them off completely, where the filters are.

Is the Doors launch pack free as of today?

I know, it sucks!!

Still need more ETID in this game though

Well I just finished the last tour challenges. It was a bit too short if you ask me. Obviously there are lots of goals and what that will keep me distracted, but I think it could have been longer.
