LOL.

This lull (for me, anyway) since the Pearl Jam stuff is nice since I just bought GH Metallica. Wallet is hurting.

Ended up getting Journey, Benatar, Von Bondies and the Spongebob Pack this week. It was a good week for drums. Spongebob was much better than expected and the Von Bondies provided a decent challenge.

Updated OP, there are a few randoms they added for next week alongside the country stuff.

I'd like a Bush 3-pack - give me "Everything Zen", "Machinehead", and "Greedy Fly".

Definitely in for Black Tide and Bullet for my Valentine. And here I thought there would be nothing for me next week...

I'll probably pick up Black Tide, think that's all for me next week.

Also, looks like the LIPS mics now work with RB 2 and GH: Metallica according to Major Nelson's twitter: http://twitter.com/majornelson/status/1447114885

RB2 is set to work with Lips mic in the summer. GH:Metallica I can confirm it works with though.

I most likely will grab the Black Tide song... it sounds like it would be a lot of fun.

Holy shizzy the Lips wireless mic works with GH Metallica and Rock Band 2. That is about the best news I have heard on these games in a bit. I was wondering when they were gonna work that out. So is this for sure or rumored. Plus that Toby Keith pack is gonna be awesome.

They only work with GH: Metallica right now like bardockkun confirmed, and RB 2 in the summer. Major Nelson also corrected himself to say the same - http://twitter.com/majornelson/status/1447579369

One thing about the Lips mics I noticed with Metallica, is if you have any extra mics. for backup there is major feedback from it.

Terrible, terrible week. It's getting to the point where I won't even care to check what DLC came out anymore.

I'm mildly interested in New Slang but it's a little bit too mellow to play when people are over.

Go with me on this one: PJ, AIC, Nirvana, STP & Soundgarden(Seattle)* spawn acts like >> Bush & Silverchair** which in turn spawn >> Creed*** which leads us to today and >> Nickelback**** *Doug **competent clone of Doug but still not as good as the original ***sensitive clone of Doug ****childish and mildly-retarded clone of Doug No offense to anyone who likes these acts. All in good fun and just a fun analogy to toss out there. Speaking of, personally I love Silverchair, but I'm not deaf. If you listen to those first few albums they were essentially PJlite. They have actually turned themselves into quite decent artists (although I've always enjoyed them). Young Modern(2007) was an incredible album.

Wow, glad I checked back in on this since it has sparked a bit of discussion. I can appreciate what Pearl Jam did (personally, I feel they're indebted to Nirvana though...who was superior). Your "Michael Keaton Theory" definitely holds water though, as most of what you said was accurate. But I'll say, in 1993, I was 11, and Pearl Jam just didn't have the appeal to me that Nirvana did. As I got older, I could enjoy them more, but they still just didn't draw me in past their big hits: Even Flow, Jeremy, Alive...and even Black, which is a song that I love.

But when Bush came along, they took a formula that was rough and messy, and made it a bit more coherent. I don't think Bush is better than Nirvana in any way, but their songs definitely hit home with me far more than Pearl Jam. I can appreciate Pearl Jam melodically, but hearing Eddie slur his way through a song like a drunken lunatic never did much for me. I'm a singer/songwriter, so lyrics tend to be a big deal for me. I'll just leave it at that though, as not to upset the balance here. But it's just my opinion and personal preference.

That's just it n8rockerasu, Pearl Jam was doing everything in their power around 94 to not be famous and avoid the mainstream success. That's where Bush and Silverchair were more than happy to fill the void.

As for the PJ/Nirvana debate, of course Nirvana was bigger, but for whatever reason Vedder and PJ's style was easier to rip off. Like I said, I don't have a problem with Bush or Silverchair, both have some great albums(and I'd buy both in RB) I just think the the further we get from that original Seattle sound of the early nineties the more derivative it becomes.

Does anyone but me miss the first year of Rock Band? Like, 2008? Back then half the fun of the game was wondering what DLC would come out the next week, because it was almost always either A) A really fun song to play, B) a really well-known, classic song, or C) something new, fun, and popular enough that everyone you would play with would know it.

But now, IDK, everything that comes out just seems...less stellar? Which I guess is expected, after going a year straight with pretty solid releases every week. But the last thing I bought before the Journey song this week was...the Killers pack, I think.

Obviously different strokes for different folks, yeah, but I was wondering if anyone else felt that the "DLC spark" has kind of faded.

Hell no. I'm just as excited to learn what's coming out next week as I've ever been.


2009 as a whole has been GREAT for DLC. Some off weeks, sure, but overall really solid IMO.

Maybe it's because I have a lot of DLC that keeps me always interested, I dunno.

Back in the day where there would be about a dozen "where the are full albums, need them now now now now" bitching posts per week? No thanks.

Lego Rock Band actually might be real, check out pages 68 and 69 of Dan Teasdale's GDC slides:
