Hate to create another topic(especially another recommendation topic)so I am going to try just asking here vs creating a new topic. Can anyone recommend me some new rock music in the emo/new age punk genre? Bands like Taking Back Sunday, Lost Prophets and Rise Against are good examples of what I am looking for. My radio died awhile back and Rock Band hasnt been putting any of this type of music up for some time so I really need exposure to some new bands.
 
[quote name='kennistond']Looks like Snoop Dogg is coming to Rock Band.

Why couldn't they give us some better rap, if they felt like they had to?[/QUOTE]hahahahaha... assuming they throw some of Snoop's guest shots on there, I hope we get "The Next Episode." There's a sparse guitar line in there and actually some singing (so it's not 100% "talky"). I can't see these tracks offering much gameplay-wise, but man oh man will they be fun to bust out at the parties.

Street Fighter IV and GOOD Rock Band DLC songs on the same day?! AWESOME!!!
 
Hey gang!



This week we’re announcing three new DLC tracks from two bands new to the RB set list. You get one track from Turbonegro, and two from White Zombie. Here’s the songs coming at you next week:





Turbonegro – Wasted Again

White Zombie – More Human Than Human

White Zombie – Black Sunshine



All tracks are original master recordings.



These tracks will be $1.99 (160 Microsoft Points) a piece.




I know it was posted above but just to post the official posting.
 
Definitely getting the White Zombie songs. Soon that horrible Black Sunshine cover in GH3 will be a thing of the past; if someone's going to butcher that song, it's gonna be ME.
 
By now I kinda do wish Harmonix/EA did do a monthly service for DLC. The 20 free DLC tracks introduced me to Endeverafter with "I Wanna Be Your Man" and that is easily one of my favorite songs to play. So with things like that it does make me alot more open to trying new bands.
 
After a few really disappointing weeks, finally something decent, I won't say I'm super hyped over Turbonegro and White Zombie, but it's not bad, I'm still waiting for some Clutch (preferably s/t material)...

The past month or so I've been pretty 'meh' about the DLC, but this is an instant buy for me. MORE PLEASE!
 
I might pick up More Human Than Human one day when points are a little more plentiful and my g/f and I have done all the random setlists so we don't have to worry about it coming up, but other than that, it's a pretty 'meh' week for me. I'm glad to see so many of you psyched up about this week though.
 
If I got the rock band track pack for 360, could I put the songs onto my hard drive to play on rock band 2? Kinda like how you could rip most of the songs from rock band 1.

Yes, it comes with a code to do that.
 
This must be the longest amount of time between albums since they started releasing them. Wonder what the deal is.

Maybe something along the lines of the rush album is whats up. Man that sucked ass when that happened.

But something does seem a bit fishy since we've been getting such a small amount of songs each week. The Rob Zombie and Turbonegro seems like it should have gone along with the 3 pack from last week.
 
I had even forgotten about Nothing's Shocking until BostonColegeFan mentioned it. Is there something else we're waiting on besides that and Ten?
 
I played More Human Than Human on all 4 instruments today; finally having White Zombie on Rock Band has more than made up for the fact that I mistook that Wii DLC announcement for the announcement of the last 3 songs in Nevermind.

SRV-Texas Flood was promised.
 
[quote name='kennistond']Chinese Democracy is also coming as an album.[/QUOTE]

I hope they plan to release either a beatbox, synthesizer, or pro-tools-like rock band instrument just before it, then.
 
White Zombie is pretty fun on bass, but Jesus tap dancing Christ a challenge on drums if people are interested (especially More Human).

I like Black Sunshine, I think on drums that's good times. More Human than Human though...that shit is no good! I would compare it to E-Pro, but harder.
 
I got 100% / gold star on More Human Than Human Expert Guitar, on the first try, so it must be pretty easy. Guess I should try it on bass/drums.

There was a post on the RB forums from HMX that the DLC we are getting now was worked on during the holidays. i.e. when everyone was sick and or on vacation, which is why there are fewer tracks. It should ramp back up again soon.
 
Next week's tracks are (so far) a three-pack from Jimmy Eat World. We'll be getting "Futures", "Lucky Denver Mint", and "Sweetness", all available at the usual 160MSP per song.
