I guess its like how twofold would be considered 2 times, 2x for the math enthusiasts. Hence 7X means sevenfold for the L337

On a side note, is there a way to get the microphone volume to get any higher? I have it set as max and the master track set low, but I can barely hear my voice when all instruments are firing off. And I'm pretty loud[/QUOTE]
I hate that too. Singing is fun, but it still sucks compared to actual karaoke.
I'm pumped for the new Offspring song. Of course old would be better, but Hammerhead's not a bad song. Hopefully more will come in the future.
Speaking of punk... Bad Religion's in Rock Band 2!!! My all-time favorite band finally makes an appearance after sitting out the music game genre since Guitar Hero 1 (plus that was just a cover) and the same song as DLC in GH2. Anyway, the song will be Sorrow, which is one of their more mainstream songs, but very good regardless. Hopefully classic BR songs like Against the Grain, Twenty First Century Digital Boy, and American Jesus will follow some day.

WOW! Very excited about BR!
Hope there will be some DLC for RB soon as well. They have such a strong catalog of songs, I'd love to see a BR pack offered. With BR, due to the shortness of many songs and the albums I'd love to see a "Greatest Hits" type of offering in RB, maybe 20 songs or something like that as opposed to just an album. I know it will probably never happen that way but I can hope. Oh well, I'll buy anything from them that shows up in RB regardless.

All this RB2 talk the past month or so, seems likely that GH4 may cause Harmonix/EA to put it out earlier than needed. I'm excited and sad at the same time. They already have my money.

Offspring and Bad Religion coming to Rock Band (2)... this is one of the best weeks in the history of the internet.
[quote name='porieux']I always wondered if anyone actually liked Offspring. I sure hated those songs that were on the radio way back when, but I'm glad for whoever likes it.[/QUOTE]
I loved Offspring. Their albums seemed to get sillier and sillier as the years go by though. I haven't heard the latest yet, but the last solid album was Americana, which was quite a few years ago.
Some of their earlier tunes would be extremely challenging.

Any idea as to why Brett Gurewitz would be putting finishing touches on a Rock Band song? I thought the bands were only involved if the songs needed to be re-recorded, and it's from 2002 so the recording should be fine. Perhaps they guitars just needed to be separated or something?

Although I am a little disappointed to hear of Rock Band 2. I was sort of hoping they'd skip a year and stick with the DLC for now.
In other news, my pedal was feeling a little mushy, so I checked it out... snapped. I thought I was in luck, since this this was actually my spare pedal, but in checking the other one I saw that it was broken in the same spot. These are long out of warranty (assuming EA is now enforcing the time period), so does anyone know how much they charge for a new pedal?

Coke that would be nice for us financially, but at least with Rock Band, we do have the option of sitting Rock Band 2 out... If someone chose to, he could just keep on buying the DLC, since it's supposed to be compatible across RB 1 & 2.
Rock Band is the new kid on the block and while it's built a modest following, they definitely need a new game to compete with Guitar Hero 4... Otherwise no one would even notice if they released part 2 next year - GH would have too great a hold.

They have a lot of really great songs, but at the same time some really crappy ones that were way too overplayed on the radio.

You get everything for $20 but the best thing about it is that the pedal is actually a lot better than the stock one.

That's crazy. I paid $20 for the official Rock Band drum pads alone a couple weeks ago. Now I wish I had bought that pedal bundle, and kept the pedal as a stand-by.

[quote name='GTzerO']How do metal songs play in the game with the drums? I know that a lot of metal songs use two kick drums, so with only one in the Rock Band drumset those songs would probably be damn there impossible.[/quote]

You can mod a real kick pedal to work with RB pretty easily using a magnetic alarm sensor.

My drum RMA took about 3 weeks. A week before them sending me the empty box and 2 weeks for them to receive and send me a new one. Not bad. I got another EL set in return, it feels a lot different from my launch EL set though. I haven't given it a play yet but just the way the pads feel and even the d-pad being stiffer are quite different.

Just to clarify for those who were asking,
On Xbox, DLC goes up on Tuesday 2 AM PST, Which is 5 AM EST. It's up on the marketplace before it's on the music store.
I know it's the xbox forum, but on PSN it goes up on Thursdays.
May want to add this to the OP.

Oh great. I was all excited to download the new songs this week and guess what. My Rock Band disc starts freezing at the menu. Every time when I press start after the intro movie, it freezes up at the exact same spot, no exceptions. Does anyone know where I can get the disc cleaned? I went to gamestop this morning and they said no and it pissed me right off since they're supposed to be a used game trading store, something about that just doesnt' make sense to me.

Unless you're sure it's the disc, try clearing the hard drive cache, by selecting it in the memory menu of your 360 dashboard, then pressing X, X, Left Bumper, Right Bumper, X, X. Then select yes. I've had to do this for some other games that gave me this problem.

I kinda keep forgetting to ask, but what the hell do you do when a DL'ed song doesn't load and instead it takes you to the "The song data you were accessing has become unavailable, and the game cannot proceed without it. Your game session has restarted." Since I delete and re-download it, but still no dice.
