Rock Band Network - prospective songs list

[davidshek]

Just to be sure, these songs will be free?

No, none of them will be free. Songs on RBN will have the option of being $1, $2, or $3. The person submitting the song (the band or the author) chooses the price.

[Ultrace]

Just to be sure, these songs will be free?
Nope, no songs will be free, nor should they necessarily be. These bands deserve to be paid for their music just like any other. If the price is too high, then people will let their wallets speak for them. Although I did think that songs were going to be priced as low as $.50 from what I thought I heard at PAX; sounds like from what Davidshek says that I'm wrong.

I heard the same.

[HeyRiles]

Yeah they originally stated 40-240msp for any song, but HMXSean corrected that shortly after

HELL YES. I actually already knew of Children of Nova, and they're one of those rare "smaller" bands that you'd suspect to be a chart topper.

The Complexity Of Light is DEFINITELY going to be a great song for Rock Band. I hope you guys decide to put up more CON tracks soon ;)

Interesting I would call them closer to the Crossover Prog. side with Coheed & Cambria and The Reasoning than the Heavy Prog side with Porcupine Tree and The Mars Volta still good though I'll be sure to both submit them to Progarchives and download this track when it is released :)

Great sound. Very atmospheric.

I assume they're licensing the version on last.fm, and not the acoustic version that's on their Myspace page....?

That is correct, we'll be doing the version from the album. Although the acoustic cut is great, the album version definitely lends itself more to an in-game track.

DAMN, Sick, you're a busy man. :)

GREAT artist lineup on your "label," and you're proving that RBN *isn't* going to be all about the unsigned/unknown --- you're picking up some major acts there.

And great news about getting CI aboard....if there's any way they can license older August Burns Red material, you're gonna have a *lot* of fans on these forums already...;)

(And psssst: under Circus Circus, it's "First We Feast, Then We FELONY," not "Famine" ;) )

[S1ckH4nds]

(And psssst: under Circus Circus, it's "First We Feast, Then We FELONY," not "Famine" ;) )

D'oh! I knew that, I really did... mental slip o' the tongue. :) Will fix.

Thanks again for your support! We're looking forward to doing the best job we can with these artists and their music, and hope to continue bringing out a wide variety of great acts that have quality tunes. As far as CI goes, we definitely have our eye on more material from them, but these are the only ones we can announce as of right now.

You say "only ones" like that's a bad thing. :p

You're gonna get a ton of downloads for all these guys, but Texas In July will probably wind up being huge. Great bands in your stable....can you tell I'm impressed? :)

[Lizard_King]

hey guys,
just wanted to post in here that Bright Midnight is now on Twitter, you can follow us at : http://twitter.com/bright_midnight

we would love the support! we will be twittering frequently the progress of our music, links to music videos, preview charts for RBN, etc.

so please follow, we will follow you in turn :)

thanks again!

[TragicEnd666]

OMG my best RBN band so far. i love Texas in July. gonna be very fun songs to play

[TheOzone]

I'm proud to announce I've finally received an unreleased copy of Counterfeit Pennies upcoming EP with the master recordings coming shortly.

These songs will definitely be fun to play. I challenge drummers to try to tackle some of these songs, and singers will also have a blast. Guitar and bass will also be tricky. Pretty much these songs will be a great addition to your Rock Band Library.

I announced the songs on the Ozone Radio Twitter (http://twitter.com/OzoneRadio/status/4488437005). The six songs coming to the RBN are:

"All of Our Dreams"
"Can't Stop the Light"
"It Was Ours All Along"
"Say What You Want"
"Five More Minutes"
"Soft-Served Sweetness"

I will be working with the band to get previews of these tracks up on their Myspace, as they've fastly improved since the material that's on there now. When the stuff's up, I'll make a band thread. I look forward to sharing these songs with you guys and I'm excited to play them myself as a Voxtarist. :)

[HauntingYourKids]

Here's one: a person on YouTube by the name of iantcummings (http://www.youtube.com/user/iantcummings) is posting videos of his progress on charting songs by a Tennessee artist named Zack Wilson. Based on his videos, the songs we can expect are "Ox," "Another California Song," "Moonshine Hollar," "Free Myself," and "It's Beautiful."

It's a good track to play and listen to. I wasn't quite as impressed with Ox, but California Song is one of those that, if it was released as regular DLC, I'd be happy. When you see that sort of thing come out on the RBN, it's pretty cool.

Can't wait to get 'em!

This thread is awesome! I've been looking all over for a list of confirmed RBN bands. How I managed to not know this forum existed is beyond me...

Just can't stop listening to The B.O.L.T.'s tracks on their myspace. I can't to play those songs on RB! There are so many great bands/songs on that list, but I'd have to say they are probably my favourite.

Added everything plus "The Slip"

Two new announcements in two days from us here at RockGamer Studios! Busy week. :)

Ballyhoo! - Cali Girl
Ballyhoo! - Paper Dolls
- genre - reggae rock

- website - http://www.myspace.com/ballyhoo

Recommended for fans of bands such as Sublime, 311, or Slightly Stoopid!

Pure awesome. Will buy day one. And noticed they are playing in my town a week from today, might have to check that out.

[MrOwn1]

Nuclear Bubble Wrap - Draining The Lizard on a Dead Gay Wizard
Nuclear Bubble Wrap - In Space No One Can Hear You Scream
Nuclear Bubble Wrap - (Unconfirmed number of songs)
- Genre : Comedy
- Source : Um... i'm charting their songs
- Website : http://www.nuclearbubblewrap.com/

[Mr Jonnyears]

I counted 321 confirmed songs, very impressive. It shouldn't take long for the amount of Rock Band Network songs to overtake the amount of normal Rock Band songs.

[Watchmen89]

I saw Blotted Science and literally squealed at seeing that. Can't wait to play that pack as I hope their pack ends up being one of the top downloaded packs from RBN.

[RockBandAide]

Hey S1ckH4nds, let's make it 3 for 3:

The Gufs - Beautiful Disaster
- genre - pop rock
- source - RockGamer Studios (http://www.rockgamerstudios.com/2009/10/30/the-gufs-wisconsins-worst-kept-secret-coming-to-rock-band-network/)
- website - http://www.myspace.com/thegufs

The Gufs have been one of Wisconsin's best-known bands since the late '80s. Their melodic, catchy tunes are reminiscent of Coldplay and Matchbox Twenty.

PS - String solo FTW :D

I'm still freaking out that they're going to be in Rock Band. My girlfriend's their number one fan (she was even in a magazine article about the band awhile ago). It is an awesome song. Definitely check it out when it's available!

[Oscar-Rio]

Sick, continuing to bring the star quality.....

Love it! Definitely picking up Ballyhoo....definitely need some reggae mon.

i would hardly call any of that reggae music at all. It's not bad, but it's definitely not reggae.

Skgfdsgdsk. I love you, TheOZone. I love Crush 40. =) I'm really glad that they're finally hitting RBN, and even though it's likely not a Sonic song, it may show SEGA the power of RBN, and maybe they'll allow a Sonic song in there!

Anyway!

Very nice voice. :)
I like her sound....very nouveau-blues, bordering on pop. Reminds me some of Colbie Caillait....

"What Do Ya Do" would be a VERY nice add to RBN as well.

And allow me to join in on the Crush 40 love, too --- didn't recognize the name, until I heard the songs. My son would absolutely LOVE having songs from Sonic Heroes and Shadow the Hedgehog in RBN.

In case anyone doubts my word on Crush 40 (why should you?), here's a better source for the OP: http://www.facebook.com/Crush40.

[fireshoes]

Doug Doppler is releasing his song Grind through RBN!

Doppler, Inc. - Grind
- genre - Rock / Metal / Progressive
- source - http://www.thegearpage.net/board/showpost.php?p=7070757&postcount=78
- website - http://www.dougdoppler.com

Doug is an amazing, amazing guitar player, and also works for WaveGroup Sound, which has contributed on many GH & RB songs. He is a former pupil of Joe Satriani (later asked to teach there after Joe decided not to anymore) and is signed to Steve Vai's Favored Nation label. This song comes from the 2002 album Nu Instrumental.

Also, an interesting note. Doug actually played on six Guitar Hero Encore Rocks the 80s tracks.

* Ballroom Blitz (Krokus) - guitar
* No One Like You (Scorpions) - guitar, bass
* Play with Me (Extreme) - guitar and bass
* Radar Love (White Lion) - guitar
* Seventeen (Winger) - guitar
* Wrathchild (Iron Maiden) - guitar

Here's a video of him playing Grind at an Ibanez clinic:

updated..

[FangSing]

I have a question are some of the Main Drag songs going to be remade so it will fit more appropriately for Rock Band? Such as more guitar like what you guys did to Jagged Gorgeous Winter.

Just wondering.

[Awesome_Tree]

I wouldn't say within the next 24 hours.

D: Sorry. I saw you saying that you need to receive paperwork to announce the songs, so I thought "surely that must not take that long." But I guess I was wrong.

I know how you hate people jumping that they're all Sonic songs, but I would really hope Live and Learn was picked. Ever since I discovered Live and Learn, and rhythm games, I always thought it would fit well. But that's just me. I guess I'll have to be patient and wait for clues/announcement.

I guess I'll have to be patient and wait for clues/announcement.I have no clue when I'll be getting the paperwork. Jun actually took a couple weeks after our first discussion to give me the list of songs to sign off my approval on (and help him pick a couple). But with this having ties with the album that's dropping soon, I'm sure he's doing the best he can to get it to me as soon as possible.

And yes, I'm glad you noticed my annoyance with people jumping to conclusions its Sonic music. I never said they were, and I don't want get people getting hyped on rumors being portrayed as fact. I wish I could reveal what the songs actually are to stop all this, but I can't yet.

Oh well. non-Sonic Crush 40 would open me to, well, non-Sonic Crush 40. Can't wait for the all instrument melter. ;)

One question. After these initial songs, would we see/hear other songs in the future after those?

A quick question; are all the announced tracks going to be on the RBN shop on release, or gradually updated, like the RB DLC Shop?I'd say they're all aiming for launch, but some (like the Counterfeit Pennies songs I'm working on) may be delayed for release due to not passing peer review/time issues/etc.

[trg007]

There are about 9 songs completely approved at this point. So yes, they're going to come out gradually. Very gradually. :)

I can't confirm specifics as of yet, but that is a highly likely possibility.

[TheOzone]

Talked with Jun this afternoon. Good news and bad news, folks.

Bad news: It's been moved down to 3 Crush 40 songs.

Good news: This opens to possibility of the track that was removed appearing in a future second pack of songs should the sales be great on the first one.

No other news I can share with you regarding this...yet. Stay tuned.

I dont think i have heard of any of these bands so not sure if the RBN will be any use for me.

[LegendofRock3021]

I dont think i have heard of any of these bands so not sure if the RBN will be any use for me.

The purpose of RBN is to give lesser known bands the opportunity to add their songs to Rock Band, bands that are more well known will continue to add their songs to the game via regular DLC. This is the perfect chance to check out some of those bands' songs to see if there is something out there that you will enjoy playing, I know I've already found a bunch of stuff that I'd love to play and hope comes to PS3. I'm sure you'll be able to find something you'd enjoy playing as well, all it takes is a little bit of listening to find whatever type of music it is that you think would be fun to play.

[Mex]

I dont think i have heard of any of these bands so not sure if the RBN will be any use for me.

A little early in the game to determine that don't you think?

[S1ckH4nds]

As I always like to remind people, each song available on the RBN will have a demo version available for free download that consists of the first minute or third of the song, so you can check out a lot of great, new music at next to no risk to your wallet. So even if you haven't heard of awesome bands like Marillion, Amberian Dawn, or The Apples In Stereo yet, that won't be a problem. :)

We currently have one song finished and are working on another.

The finished song is called "Europa" and the song we're currently working on is called "Sleep Again". Figured you could add these to the list of prospective songs.

Quite a few of these bands are well established. Watchtower basically invented Prog Metal.

[trg007]

Garage bands and left field players won't ever make to my HD again.

EVERY band that's on your HD, on your iPod, in your CD collection, whatever...was once an "unknown" band. I always find it funny when people say they're not going to buy music from bands they've never heard of; how do you listen to ANY music in that case? You obviously heard it for the first time at some point!

[cherokeesam]

Hey! I'm working with a friend of mine to chart some songs for a band we know called Arkady.


You might want to clarify that statement...."a band we know" doesn't necessarily sound like authorization.

Make sure that "band you know" is actually *employing* you to chart their songs....you can't just start charting songs without a band's permission.

You might want to clarify that statement...."a band we know" doesn't necessarily sound like authorization.

Make sure that "band you know" is actually *employing* you to chart their songs....you can't just start charting songs without a band's permission.

Sorry about that. What I mean to say is that we've spoken with them and actually gotten permission to chart their songs. My friend knows them personally and has met with them. We aren't even taking any of the cut if there is anything to be made. All proceeds will go to the artist, Arkady.

You still need to make sure you have a solid, legally-binding written agreement with the band that allows you to use their copyrighted material. In other words, a contract.

Well seeing as all that is happening right now is this being put on the "prospective" song list I think all should be well. But yes in the future I'm sure we'll have to sign/arrange some sort of contract. My friend took the song to them recently for the band themselves to actually play it and apparently they thought it was really cool. Should have a video up of that very soon.

[Ultimatum]

If there's some sort of label involved, you HAVE to make sure all the legal bases are covered.

[solidsnakejt]

EVERY band that's on your HD, on your iPod, in your CD collection, whatever...was once an "unknown" band. I always find it funny when people say they're not going to buy music from bands they've never heard of; how do you listen to ANY music in that case? You obviously heard it for the first time at some point!

THIS

just in the last 2 years i discovered at least a couple dozen artists that i now really like.

They're currently unsigned.

[ThatAuthoringGroup]

whoa, "Teenage Dirtbag"

that's a pretty big deal eh? maybe the most popular song on RBN so far?


There's a Snoop Dogg song up in testing now.

But of course which is more popular depends on your tastes I guess :D

Teenage Dirtbag was one of the songs I've been wanting to play(used to listen to the song, and it sounds like it'd be fun on Rock Band), so this is a big win in my book.

[Casto21]

Are you allowed to say which Snoop song? I would think so if you can say Snoop is there at all, but not sure what kind of NDA (if any) was signed to get into closed beta.

Yes, once a song is up for playtest, we can talk about it.

It's a cover of David Bowie's "Fame" redone by Point Defiance featuring Snoop Dogg. The fact that it's a cover is a pretty hot debate in the playtest forums.

Can we Still Get Bowie's Fame :( / Do you know where I could listen to it

Interesting. I thought it was made clear by HMX that RBN has a strict no covers policy. Sounds to me like it should simply fail testing right off the bat.

IM with magnet we were told NO COVERS and Ive got a band with a hot "cover" of a song that is in public domain (Ploy of Oracle's House of the Rising Sun) so theres no legal issues with the song and Ploy of Oracle WANTS/NEEDs us to chart this song and it would be HUGE seller as it is a one of the best renditions of this song ever....

agreed. when i heard it was coming to RBN, i was so excited. but when it was taken away, i was upset by the lose of such a great song...

Especially since Rising Sun is public domain, and has been covered by pretty much every band in rock history....

Ploy Of Oracle's version *did* sound awesome, and I really hope HMX changes its tune (heh) to let that track back into RBN.

[KineticArtist]

thanks guys I figure if snoop dog (a rapper) can cover David Bowies "Fame" then Ploy of Oracle's HOTRS is a no brainer....

and I for one wont be buying a snoop dogg version of anything cmon gives us David Bowie's Fame!!!!

I'm with you here. If Snoop Dogg or any other big name gets an exception to this, RBN will be setting a terrible precedent. Either make it so that anyone with a legally-sound cover can put it on RBN, or have absolutely no covers at all.

So I wasn't going to say anything until all the contracts and such were squared away, but the band went and tweeted it on me prematurely. (And they promised Christmas. Oh, the pressure!)

So, fine!

You actually may want to message them and ask them to change that. The RBN store isn't even going to be open by Christmas, and that's not even counting the time it's going to take for the song to get through Peer Review. :)

I've already informed them via email. If it's still up tomorrow I'll emphasize the point.

...but, hey, clearly they're excited!

I would be willing to take over and maintain the thread,Or start a new one ... No way I could rewrite the entire main post though.

I was just going to offer to do this myself! It would be very good of you to take over, very useful thread indeed.

[Charron]

While I'm thinking about it, on the topic of song lists. There's already a big lyrics database (http://www.lyriki.com/Rock_Band_DLC_Lyric_Sheet) I've been maintaining for main-list songs, is there any interest/need for the same for RBN tracks? (Obviously I couldn't manage it myself, but if it's in wiki form the bands/authors can just add to it.)

[wesjett08]

I would be willing to add some of my bands stuff to that list for sure.

As for taking over the thread,Mods ... Any help here?

If you are serious about taking it over, you could quote and copy and paste all the pages into word, make a new thread, reserve the first four or so posts, and paste all the information into it

Ozone Entertainment just got a huge acquisition. I know what the 4 songs are, but they aren't being revealed yet. Hint: This is a tie-in with their new CD...

Sweet, Is this legit?

[SirDavidTLynch]

It was, but they ran into legal troubles (I don't recall exactly what, but it had nothing to do with Sonic. I think it was more on the US label/distribution side). This thread's actually pretty old; there's a prospective song list 3.0 thread that's more up-to-date.
