1UP has an article that says U2 wants their own Rock Band. Think there's any chance? I wouldn't buy because I don't care about U2, but they are a huge band and it would be great for the series.

Yea, I can see it now, the U2 dreamscape... Bono singing while injecting African children with vaccines. RE5 can suck it.

Yeah, that's not too appealing.
If we have to listen to that singer, I wish they'd release some Son of Sam content. It's probably the closest we'd get to Samhain on Rock Band for now.

Is Danzig GH exclusive for some reason that we'd never expect to see any Samhain?
Man, I don't want to give a dime to Activision, but seeing Astro Zombies planned for release this month really tested my will. Oh, and they were in GH: Metallica. Hmm. Dang.
My will succeeded, by the by.

More Than Meets The Eye, Surfing With The Alien and Point of Know Return are definites for me. The latter two are addicting as hell to listen to, the former just kicks ass.

ing amazing. Shame on you if you're the least bit interested in metal and skip this track.
In for the Motorhead song too as long as it's a decent remake. Tenacious D stinks but I may buy the pack anyway since I'd be getting a discount. Glad the AFI rumor was false.

[quote name='DJP519']I'm thinking full-on duets in RB3, along with harmonies. Stuff like Meat Loaf, System of a Down, Linkin Park, Lacuna Coil, etc, bands that often use two vocalists in the same song, they would work very well that way. I'm sure some of you can think of better examples as well...
And I'd imagine our existing libraries of older songs would continue to work, just as single vocalist only.[/QUOTE]
If that's the case, I hope we finally get a Barenaked Ladies track that isn't Hanukkah-related. Some They Might Be Giants would be nice too.

I'm too broke for this. I haven't actually bought any DLC since maybe April or so (although I got a ton in the Pepsi promotion), but Queen should change that.

I was going through dlcquickplay.com to look at the user ratings for songs, and noticed something interesting regarding some of the grunge tracks. Whereas the Something in the Way and Master/Slave, the last songs to Nevermind and Ten respectively, are two of the lowest rated songs of all the DLC catalog, Would?, which is the ending to Dirt, is rated one of the best songs.
Lego Rock Band songs confirmed to export to RB2 the same way as RB1 tracks do. $9.99

There is a code - check the most recent Joystiq or Kotaku articles. So, one time use only. If you're renting, you'd better be the first person to do so.
Pass. The one time use is bad enough, but there is no justification for charging double the money for less tracks (compared to RB1's export). The tracklist mostly stinks anyway.

Ugh. I just saw this on Joystiq:
The Lego Rock Band disc export will cost $9.99 (800) and transfer all tracks from the Lego disc for use on the regular Rock Band platform. It appears to work in the same way as the conversion of the original Rock Band disc, except that owners will have to enter "a unique code from an insert in their game manual into a dedicated website" to activate the option.

There's some decent songs on there, but dunno.
But one thing I noticed. Is it just me, or is Kaiser Chiefs - Ruby on every single guitar game? I swear, that song feels like it's everywhere.

To be fair, it would be a pretty stupid business move to allow the "rent n' rip" method when they're trying to sell a brand new game. A RB1-style export would be great for us, sure, but it would kind of shit on the Lego RB developers.
If it stings that bad just look at it as buying two track packs, and getting five bonus songs and a new game to go with it. I guess it does kinda suck if you legitimately like only a few songs on the disc though, since they won't ever be available separately.

the tracklist looks really good to me... I do think though that they shouldn't be charging to Export if it's a one-time code.

It isn't rent and rip. Its input a code and pay 10 dollars to play in Rock Band 2. Basically the 10 dollars is to make the game cost full retail without charging you 60 dollars in store.

Yeah, I agree with this. I mean, the code is included with the game. So, by buying the game new, you're already paying for the code. It's almost like you're paying for the songs twice. The ability to keep all of your songs in one place should be a reward for being loyal to the brand.

I'm curious how the filtering and the radio edits are going to work. Since most of the songs are censored already, "radio edit" probably means "shorter" in this context.
I would've preferred a longer setlist, but I see a lot of songs on there I'm going to enjoy. Is Korn's "Word Up" a cover of the Cameo song? :shock:

That's about how I feel, although if Rock Band taught me anything I'll probably end up liking some or maybe even most of the songs I don't recognize.
It seems like there are a lot of British bands in the list. I have a feeling that was intentional.

So, it's the same as the track packs and the RB2 free songs? Is anyone really surprised that Harmonix is doing it this way instead of letting you rip rental copies and cannibalizing their profits in the process?
The only reason RB1's transfer worked the way it did is because they decided to do it after the game had already shipped, when it was too late to give individual codes to each copy. Given that none of the games Harmonix has released since then have transferred like that, I'm surprised that anybody thought it would.

Exactly. And I'm fine with that. No fee would be better, but since the game with transfer is $60, I don't see any reason to complain about the price.
Besides, it could always be worse - Guitar Hero 5's transfer cost money and left more than half of the songs on the disc in the process.

While I wouldn't call myself a fan of most of the tracks on the disc, I do find myself a lot more acceptable of songs in the RB/GH format. Some songs that I would never be caught dead listening to are actually a lot of fun to play on guitar/drums or in a party setting. So all that being said, this list looks to be a serious amount of friggin' fun!
so am I misunderstanding it and the songs will be availbable for 10 bucks, or u can buy the game and then pay 10 to export as well? I thought you needed a unique code, such as found on a manual, yet people say you don't need to rent it to rip it... Hell, even if that's the case, I could prolly go up to the vid store and take pics of the manual code with my camera...
I think I'm in for the Brutal Legends pack; better to buy it than skip the Motorhead. I might pick up the Kansas songs and maybe the L7 one depending on the chart.
And that setlist for Lego Rock Band is not bad at all, definitely worth importing. I'll try to snag a code from Blockbuster or something on release.

Good luck with that. The stores I've seen around here pull the manuals from games like this (because really, how many people actually read the manual for Rock Band?) or just stick in a photocopied sheet of instructions and hold the manual in the back until somebody buys the game. Even if they do include the manual, the employees and their friends will probably beat you to the punch.
Or...you could just, y'know, buy the game and support the developer instead ofing over whoever ends up buying the rental copy down the line. You're on Cheap Ass Gamer - you know as well as we all do that as soon as the game drops, it'll be all over the site. If you wait a few months, you'll probably be able to find the game for $40 or $30. If you buy it new, GameStop gives something like $30 on first-week trade-ins. Why not do one of those?

The Zutons are finally making an appearance in one of these games, although Valerie definitely isn't their best song for a rhythm game. Not enough songs that I like in Lego Rock Band to get me to grab it though. Hope they put up some DLC for some of the bands that are making their first appearance on Lego Rock Band.

Far from confirmed, but this would definitely be a day-1 purchase for me if they put the same effort into it they did the Beatles game. This would probably surpass the Metallica game as my favorite single-focus band game.

Personally I'd rather have custom bands/dreamscapes as a feature in RB3, rather than any more dedicated band games. I begrudgingly accepted the "walled garden" approach of The Beatles, and they're my favorite band.
The weird thing with Queen, though, is that they'll already have 12 of their biggest songs in the main game already. I guess it wouldn't matter if the game wasn't exportable.
