[quote name='help1']Hey, are there any chances of them expanding their music horizon? Maybe get some techno in there, or some hip-hop?[/QUOTE]

In the past they've said they're looking mainly for traditional guitar/bass/vocal/drum bands, but I think we may see expansion once they've kinda played out these rock genres.
 
[quote name='DrazenX']is there a way i can get on the list for the oxm disk? or is there anyone willing to ship it out to me? thanks - i can pay shipping[/quote]

I don't see why not, send a PM to sp00ge.

Got the disc yesterday, I'm sending it out today to ThatDamnDave.
 
Well, I said a while back I'd love to see the first three Ramones albums as full album downloads...I guess they're doing it piecemeal instead of album-at-a-time.

The game is called "Rock Band". Not "Rap Band" or "Drum/Synthesizer Band".:)
 
[quote name='anomynous']Rage Against the Machine please


I don'teven care if they're covers, I want some RATM[/quote]

OFMT!

Also people settling for covers of Rage Against the Machines? Really? Did ANY of you play Guitar Hero II and try "Killing in the Name of"? Arguably WORSE cover of any GH or Rock Band game and plus no use of the word fuck. So no, do not want unless real thing at all...

But if they do covers of it, they can leave it uncensored because it's DLC
 
I'd love to see some more progressive bands

Pink Floyd (money and another brick in the wall come to mind)
The Slip (Even Rats was the first guitar hero)
Mars Volta (anything by these guys, lol)

and a lot more I can't think of right now
 
[quote name='REL1203']DamnedDave,

are you part of tha chain for the disk, or any chance you can send me the disk and I can send it to the next person?[/quote]

Somebody is already in line after me. You'd have to talk to sp00ge.

I agree. It was the worst of the covers. It was just terrible, and I was so happy to see Rage on the list. Too bad it wasn't really them.
 
I'm getting this game from the YF360.com site. I can't wait. I think this is the game that's going to make me buy a crapload of DLC.
 
[quote name='ajh2298']I asked before but can I be added to one of the chains for DLC disk?[/QUOTE]

ditto

P.S. anybody have an answer from my question about the drums from 2 pages back? i asked if they accept the drums where you have to hit overly hard to register on the pads.
 
I just received my Rock Band Special Edition for the Xbox 360 from Amazon over the weekend.

I noticed that by the UPC bar on the box, there was a small, wide (~2 inch sticker?) of what looked like a barcode and some numbers. The sticker was placed really close to the UPC on the box, and this sticker is orange in color.

Does anybody else who ordered from Amazon have this orange sticker on their box? And do you know what it may be for? Does anybody have their Rock Band from Amazon and *does not* have this sticker?

I had preordered mine from amazon before release. I dont' recall any such sticker.
 
So the dude after me hasn't PM'd me his address for the train, we just skipping them?

The person after him (ortar) already sent me his address by mistake so I'll probably just ship it to him once I get it.

Have you tried PMing him? I'll give it a shot just in case, I noticed he posted here saying he couldn't get in contact with you but sounded like he thought you should be messaging him, not the other way around... We'll see!

If I haven't heard back from Bazz in a couple of days I'll pm you to let you know.

Has DeathPrawn received the disc yet? Just trying to keep some sort of order on the list to minimize confusion :)

I don't think that makes any difference 'rock' doesn't really mean anything specific.
Plus 'rock' can be looked at as a verb rather than a noun ie 'rocking out'.
Finally, it's just a name. If it's fun to play it should be in there IMO.
 
I'm eventually going to buy the game once I'm in a situation where I can (In college, need money). Do you guys think I should just D/L the songs I want now (I have a ton of MS points so not a worry) or just play through the game first, THEN d/l the DLC songs I want later for additional content?
 
I'd wait to you buy the actual game. Theres 3 new songs a week so depending on how long till you get it, there could be tons of other songs you'd favor more than others.
 
[quote name='anomynous']But if they do covers of it, they can leave it uncensored because it's DLC[/quote]
I'm kinda doubtful of the uncensored bit. I've yet to sing a song that has any kind of swearing. Hence why when singing Beastie Boys I feel compelled to fill the gap in the song with "I got this fuckin thorn in my side" as opposed to leave it blank (if they released a patch for that, I'd gladly dl it).

Besides swearing is the smallest problem for RATM, since majority of their songs are light on the language in anycase. Though still if it's a cover, I'm better off with nothing if GH2 is any indication of what I'm going to get (the guy sounded NOTHING like Zack De La Roca, sounded like some idiotic guy they picked off the streets).
 
Has anyone seen the Drum Set in store it was street dated for yesterday 2/12 but I have called a couple stores today and so far not so good. Also gamestop.com moved there date to tomorrow and others have early march.

I have a $50 BB (thanks Old Spice) giftcard going towards the drums so I'm waiting to hear that BB has them in stock. I called earlier today and they didn't know what was going on with the drums. I wish they would at least show up on the BB website so I could order them through there.
 
So is this list of future DLC going to rule or what?

[quote name='javeryh']So is this list of future DLC going to rule or what?[/QUOTE]

I would download at least half of those songs probably closer to 75%
 
I mean just listen to this song and tell me you don't want to play it on rock band. The opening guitar solo is the bomb

[quote name='pete5883']Looks like a lot of "old man rock" to me.[/quote]

yeah, they could have included some bands like Fall Out Boy, Good Charlotte and Nickelback to modern it up a bit. :arrow:
 
[quote name='javeryh']So is this list of future DLC going to rule or what?[/QUOTE]

I would say "Going to rule!" but after my RHCP heartbreak I have to ask where you found that list.

If true, though, that's a lot of must-buy stuff.
