[quote name='BustaUppa']I hope we get a holiday-themed free download, like GH3 on July 4th. I said it before and I'll say it again... Carol of the Bells/Christmas Eve Sarajevo by Trans Siberian Orchestra would be so sweet![/QUOTE]

I would rather see My Chemical Romances version of all I want for Christmas is you.

As for the Christmas discount new songs for 80 points would make me happy, but I would still rather see a discount on a very large chunk of what already exists.
 
[quote name='CouRageouS']Anyone pick up the cymbal add ons? I saw them today. I still am on the RB1 drumset, but may consider upgrading. I'd like all the nice new stuff before all the holidays parties begin.[/QUOTE]

I got 2 cymbals and they are awesome! They are much easier for me than just the standard 4 pads. Highly recommended! :D
 
Dammit I'm up to 9 completed Expert challenges and still no achievement. Do I have to do these as a band or something? Or maybe get 5 stars on everything? I've never had an achievement not unlock and it is making me mental...
 
Strange. You don't have to do them in a band or 5 star everything. Are you sure you're doing the Band Challenges and not the Battle of the Bands? Thats the only thing I can think of. :whistle2:k

Did anyone play with you on a lower level? That would effect it. Once you get to 10, you should get the second of the three challenge achievements.
 
Has anyone seen that Rock Band Battle show on MTV? I swear to God, it is the single lamest thing I have EVER seen in my life. Good God. It makes me not even want to play RB or GH and just sell whatever I have of those games. I can't believe the people they put on there. How about these people actually start a real band?

Yes! Also they should have:

Jimmy Eat World - Last Christmas
No Doubt - Oi To The World

[quote name='JohnnyFoxDarko']Too bad it's from aydy. :[

Also, just checked out the free track.
:bomb:[/quote]
Well, hopefully singing wise isn't all talky parts since all their early stuff is just Alexi growling.

And yes, the free track and the Naked Brothers are all crap.
 
[quote name='LinkinPrime']Yes! Also they should have:

Jimmy Eat World - Last Christmas
No Doubt - Oi To The World[/QUOTE]

Nah, gimmie AC/DC - Mistress for Christmas

and of course TSO would be all kinds of awesome.
 
In for the AAR track I suppose.

...I don't think anyone is downloading that free track. Unless there are a lot of 9 year old girls with Xbox Live.

EDIT: fuck YOU, LINKIN! You made me think the Jimmy Eat World track was going up for realz and I had missed it.
 
[quote name='Corvin']Nah, gimmie AC/DC - Mistress for Christmas

Then I request "Merry Christmas, I Don't Want to Fight Tonight" by the Ramones.

*Edit* - Never mind. Yikes. This is...disturbing.

[quote name='eastx']Then I request "Merry Christmas, I Don't Want to Fight Tonight" by the Ramones.[/QUOTE]

Finally, a Christmas request I feel comfortable agreeing with.

Man they really are pumping out the tracks to reach their 500 by the end of the year claim. I think they're right on the border of reaching it.

Further proof, as if you needed it, that the kids who clamor for "MOAR METAL!" in this game just live to bitch and moan about everything released for this game that wasn't recorded by a band that wears face paint and spike-ed gauntlets.

You got Bodom, yet you continue to bitch. Just buy/download what you like and let those who want the naked brothers or whatever download that.

It's like those people who bought the 7-8 awesome Nintendo Wii titles this year released by Nintendo bitching about WiiMusic and that Nintendo doesn't care about the hardcore gamer. Get over yourselves.

That said, I'm not interested in any of next week's downloads in the slightest. Not complainin', just sayin'.
 
[quote name='Mojimbo']^

Speculation is that track is the one being dropped.

I look forward to purchasing Spiderwebs. :oops:[/QUOTE]

That's lame! If they're dropping it because of licensing or something, then they better give me a Talk Talk trackpack!

...

*pigs fly*
 
I heard Trapped in a Box was being dropped, as it was never released outside of that CD.

I want the whole album, Jimbo.
 
That sucks if It's My Life is being dropped, though I'd love to see the original! For the No Doubt pack, I'll probably just pick up the Tragic Kingdom songs, didn't really care for their albums after Tragic Kingdom. I'll pick up Bodom and maybe Platero y Tu next week.

Bought the Yngwie pack and Lamb of God this week, definitely satisfied with those songs! Passed the Yngwie songs on expert guitar on my first playthrough though I did need overdrive a few times, fun and challenging though! Glad to have the master of Laid To Rest, unlike the GH2 version. I enjoyed the drum charts for the Yngwie songs and Laid To Rest, though I got close to failing Laid To Rest at one part.
 
[quote name='thrustbucket']After seeing Down open for metallica, they really should be on Rockband.[/QUOTE]

Ooh Down would be cool, throw in some classic Phil and get me some Pantera too.

Down's "Tempation's Wings" would be great. Phil sounds kinda bad here though.

My whammy bar just kind of snapped to the side, anyone know of an easy fix?
 
[quote name='BustaUppa']I figure No Doubt purists will hate me but I am excited over the prospect of playing "Hella Good" :whistle2:#[/quote]

Ummm...shitty pop groups don't have "purists", don'tcha know.
 
[quote name='Trakan']Holy shit!

I just beat Visions on expert bass.

Never thought I'd do that.[/QUOTE]I liked it better when you couldn't play past medium. :cry:

I think even Rybread could kick my ass now. I need to teach myself to alt-strum.

It's the secret to high level play. Keep working at it, one day it will just click.

Ha! Not surprised that you're getting all righetous while totally missing the point of what you're replying to. I didn't even know who those little twerps were until I looked it up. I was just laughing at the name of the song. Who the fuck is "clamoring" for more metal? I'd certainly like it but I'm hardly throwing shit at the wall just because we're not getting a Sepultura album next week or whatever. I think you have me confused with a guy that has a sticker-plastered guitar in his sig.

I'll take more of pretty much everything. I hate it when people say "we have too much (insert genre) already!" There is never "too much" of anything when it comes to a game like this.

You got Bodom, yet you continue to bitch.

Nice try, but I don't care about Children of Bodom either. But obviously since I don't want anything next week and laughed at one of the songs, I'm "complaining" and you're just "saying." Mmmhmm.

Just buy/download what you like and let those who want the naked brothers or whatever download that.
Click to expand...
Ok. I'll cease stopping people from buying whatever they want. You're all free to purchase anything now.

It's like those people who bought the 7-8 awesome Nintendo Wii titles released by Nintendo
Click to expand...
This is off topic, but I'd be really interested to see what 8 "awesome" Wii titles Nintendo brought out this year.
 
It's O/T but yeah, 8 seems a bit high. I'll give it a shot though:

Smash Bros.
Mario Kart
WiiFit
Wario Land: Shake It!
Animal Crossing
Mario Super Sluggers
Harvest Moon
Endless Ocean
 
Definitely gonna buy the No Doubt album...

People like the Talk Talk original? that version of the song blows, that's one cover that crushes the original.

No "No More Heroes" or "Blast Works?" C'mon!

Boom Blox
Smash Bros
Mario Kart
Wario Land: Shake It!
No More Heroes
Blast Works
Animal Crossing
Tatsunoko vs. Capcom

Yes, but...Well, basically naming 8 Nintendo published titles for the Wii that were good this year is basically naming all that came out for the Wii this year it seems. So hardly seems fair as is...
