My Iron Lung, Brass in Pocket, and Buddy Holly Tomorrow!

[MeleeMan]

Who's buying?

[Leo_10th]

<3 buddy holly

[Keebler]

The Pretenders' song doesn't strike me as one that me and my male friends can "rock out" to, not to mention we don't really enjoy singing songs with female lead singers.

"Buddy Holly" is a MUST PURCHASE. Probably jumps right into our collective top 10 as soon as I buy it.

"My Iron Lung?" Never heard of it before just a few minutes when I looked it up on youTube. Seems like a very good song, but not sure if I'll buy it.

[AeroTrain]

At what time do the songs become available?

Midnight Eastern time?
Mightnight Pacific time?
Someother time?

[Badosh]

buddy holly fer shure

[dfjdejulio]

I'm buying "Brass in Pocket" to get another track with a female vocalist for the office, and "Buddy Holly" as well. "My Iron Lung" doesn't interest me at this time.

[MysteryMan]

I will definitely pick up Buddy Holly. Great song. Unsure about My Iron Lung, definitely passing on the other song.

[Makomachine]

Buddy Holly for sure. Other two, maybe later...

[HPLabonte]

Def getting Buddy Holly and Brass in Pocket, My Iron Lung seems a little boring

[darknessmoon]

Buddy Holly: a song most of my friends and I are waiting for.

My Iron Lung: Definitely, simply cuz I love that song and Radiohead.

Brass in Pocket: Never heard it. I'll probably listen to them before making up my mind as to whether I want it or not...

[ZkDotNet]

That. <weetenchar>

[Mr_GtD]

Definately getting Buddy Holly and My Iron Lung. I'm also gonna grab Ever Fallen In Love tommorow.

[the_spike]

I'm getting all three. :D

[admanimal]

This is the week I've been waiting for since the game came out! (Not that I haven't bought most of the other DLC, too..)

[TheREVALOProject]

Buddy Holly is must have for me.

[JVeeJVee]

All the new DLC tomorrow is a must-have.. you're a fool for not buying them.. but then again, what do I know, I'm just a guy sharing his opinion and love about music.

[HPLabonte]

All the new DLC tomorrow is a must-have.. you're a fool for not buying them.. but then again, what do I know, I'm just a guy sharing his opinion and love about music.

yeah, i've only not bought... umm, I think the Foreigner song so far, hahaha

[KaYotiX]

buying all 3!!

I think out of all the DLC i dont have like 4 songs LOL. I love all kinds of music and im loving all the DLC.

[espher]

I'm buying an unhealthy amount of DLC if it finally hits here.

[optimusdarko]

Yeah i'm definitely buying all 3. This is a must have pack for the HORSE GOONS to rock out to!

[MuayThaiGuy]

I've been getting all the DLC as well, to try and encourage Harmonix to release as much as it possibly can.

That said, the only "must have" from this particular pack IMO is My Iron Lung. Radiohead is awesome, and they have some songs that would be perfect for RB. So in an effort to try and get more Radiohead on RB I think we should all buy My Iron Lung. lol

[The Hungry Samurai]

Is anyone else amused by the UTTER irony of My Iron Lung being included as DLC?

For those who don't know My Iron Lung is about Radiohead's frustration from their fans desire to hear only one of their song's. The song became the band's personal Iron Lung supporting their fame and restricting them to the point of almost making them a one hit wonder.

That song that drove them so nuts? Creep

I actually felt bad for Radio Head when I heard that Creep was on the Rockband's songlist (thinking of this song but at the same time being psyched at getting a chance to play it myself anyway) When I saw My Iron Lung on the upcoming DLC list I cracked up.

Way to respect your artists Harmonix.

[rgaino]

Buddy Holly is a must have! Now, My Iron Lung is a good song but I wonder why they chose it over "Just", which has better vocals, drums and guitar lines. Plus it's a better song.

[Shillelagh Law]

All 3 are great songs. Can't wait to get them.

[Eman311]

Yea, I've been looking forward to this pack.

[DesiredFX]

This is the set of three I've been waiting for since the launch DLC.


My Iron Lung is a good song but I wonder why they chose it over "Just", which has better vocals, drums and guitar lines. Plus it's a better song.

Well, there's about five well-known Radiohead you could ask the same thing of...especially some that are from the last, oh, FIVE albums.

But my non-snide answer would be that the machine gun guitar at the end of Just would make it play too similar to Creep.

[rgaino]

Well, there's about five well-known Radiohead you could ask the same thing of...especially some that are from the last, oh, FIVE albums.


True. I honestly would prefer Electioneering or Paranoid Android. That would be EPIC.

[padreswin]

Gonna definitely pick up all three, but most looking forward to Buddy Holly & My Iron Lung.

[StaticSmoke11]

how could so many people reject my iron lung, are you serious?

[rgaino]

how could so many people reject my iron lung, are you serious?

My theory is personal taste.

[HPLabonte]

how could so many people reject my iron lung, are you serious?

do you have the Bowie pack?

if yes, how freaking awesome is it!?

if not, are you serious!?!?

[Electric_Zen]

I'm going to avoid Brass in Pocket because it is a cover.

But I will definitely pick up My Iron Lung and Buddy Holly.

[WingsOfSteel]

I'm getting all three. Can't be worse than Sick, Sick, Sick.


do you have the Bowie pack?

if yes, how freaking awesome is it!?

if not, are you serious!?!?

SO freaking awesome. Moonage Daydream and Queen ***** are a joy to sing and play guitar on. Heroes is kind of bland, and I definitely would have preferred a rocker from Ziggy Stardust like Hang On To Yourself.

[Fatal1ty_Reaper]

I'll be getting all three as soon as they come up on the marketplace.

[sushi111]

If it comes out in Canada, My Iron Lung is the point of my existence. Also Buddy Holly is a personal favorite so those 2 for sure if they are released.

[ScreamingSlave]

My Iron Lung was a request of mine on the Ultimate Setlist boards... dream come true to see it make the cut! What a GREAT Radiohead song to rock out to!

Brass In My Pocket is a definite, so is Buddy Holly. I stocked up on Microsoft points for this game, and I'm glad I did, because I've bought every dl so far.

[Requiem]

Totally psyched for Iron Lung and Buddy Holly... the other... not so much.

[Ultrace]

We'll be picking up all three. Very different songs, they all have their place in the setlist... I'm glad for the variety being offered through the game itself and the DLC. I'm sure some people would prefer to be able to stock their consoles with 50 metal or punk or whatever songs, but our get-together group has four people with four very different tastes... That's why Harmonix's approach works out so well.

[TheTogfather]

getting Buddy Holly and My Iron Lung. Was on the fence bout the Pretenders song, and knowing now that it's a cover I'll probably pass. For now at least...

[kennytomson]

too lazy to search...does DLC have crowd reaction?

[TheTogfather]

too lazy to search...does DLC have crowd reaction?

I haven't really noticed, but I think someone mentioned before that it's kinda muffled, as in the crowd doesn't sing the song that you're playing like they do with on-disc songs, it's just more of a muffled sing-a-long. Not sure though.

[polishdog90]

My stepmom wants Brass in Pocket.

Free Microsoft Points for me.

[CyN1caL]

Definitely getting My Iron Lung and Buddy Holly.

Not really interested in The Pretenders song though.

[King_Nuthin]

Buddy Holly and Brass in Pocket for sure. My wife loves singing Brass in Pocket and I have yet to get her hooked.

Pass on My Iron Lung unless there is the option to buy it with the other 2 at the combo price, then I'd be tempted.

[jq715861]

Buddy Holly on Thursday.


That is all.

[JIrish780]

I'm definately getting Buddy Holly. What an absolutely fun song for this game.

Brass In Pocket is on the "get a little later" list. I love the Pretenders to death, but I can think of a few of their songs I'd have rather seen first, like Message of Love, Middle of the Road or Watching the Clothes.

My Iron Lung... I've never been a big Radiohead fan. I'll have to hear the song first.

[bounchfx]

most definitely getting all three. buddy holly will be sweet and My Iron Lung will rule the house, so happy they put it on there, it's a great song. Brass in pocket too for sure. Also think I'm going to pick up Ever fall in love from last week, it seems like a lot more fun than the other two.

[monoxidehektik]

Why didnt they just do Paranoid Android?? Cmon guys. Do it alreADY!

[blue_dragonzero]

Ooookay, heeeerrree we go.

[pulseMOD]

i'm getting all the songs.. i don't think theres going to be a song I won't download just for the fact that I want every possibly choice I can have in the game :P

[hellspawn]

Getting all three, particularly looking forward to my iron lung and buddy holly.

Tey just release the bends an ok computer as full albums.

[barbasol]

Buddy Holly definitely.

I'd die for full album dlc of Pinkerton.

Edit: Well, for that matter, the rest of the blue album too!

[ThePaska]

I cannot wait for My Iron Lung and Buddy Holly, I've been looking forward to this week since the songs were announced.

[lpunderground19]

Buddy Holly. My bro went and burned all our points on the Halo 3 maps (damn those halo maps) so I can only get this song. And that LP DLC has to come out this week too :(

Hahaha! That's a really good point and observation. Cheers. :cool:

[Electric_Zen]

Way to respect your artists Harmonix.

The songs are sort of bookends to each other. I definitely think it was respectful to offer both songs, instead of just leaving the top-40 hit out there as the only Radiohead.

[Kyle11268o]

I'm happily buying all three. This is definitely the week I've been waiting for over any other.

I agree with the above posters.... If they put up all of the Blue Album, Pinkerton, and/or The Bends.... my face might explode. (I'd prefer all three.... hint, hint!)

[nate]

**** yeah radiohead my iron lung

[bounchfx]

hell, I just realized that not only am I looking forward to these songs, but I'm REALLY Looking forward to hearing what the next month of songs are going to be, and when the albums are coming.

WOOT.

[stonicus]

I wish I were able to buy at least one pack. Sadly enough, I live in Mexico, and that xbox DLC is nowhere to be found. I'm thinking about purchasing MS Points from ebay and opening a USA account, but I dont know if it'll work. Can you help me out guys??? Thanx in advance...

[raregamer]

I think I may get buddy holly, but not sure if the 2.00 is worth it yet.

[deathstick]

Creep was in SingStar before it was in Rock Band so get mad at Sony for using it first.

[HeXcoda]

I hope they post this in the next 10 minutes (midnight pacific). I figured, what the hell, I'm staying up late anyway, I may as well sample these three before snoozing.

It'd help if more people online got DLC. I never get a chance to play them because in any four person band of randoms, chances of everybody having something other than ZOMG METALLICA is nil.

[Black Flame Zealot]

The DLC usually goes up between 1 AM and 2 AM Pacific (4 AM - 5 AM Eastern).

I'm in Canada and i have 2 accounts...one is US...and i bought almost all dlc...so yes it does work :)

I buy Microsoft points on ebay from a US seller and Voila!!!...it's done

[AnEternalEnigma]

I'll definitely grab "Buddy Holly". Could care less about the other two songs.

[rockst01]

Come on, release this already. This is the one time I stayed up late for the DLC too.

[Requiem]

Argh. Me want Weezer.

[SSPWOLF]

bump.. news?

[Black Flame Zealot]

Still not up as of 2:15 AM Pacific US time.

I'm heading to bed. :)

[HubbubJub]

I haven't seen it up yet.

[Fatal1ty_Reaper]

Where is the DLC? Never had to wait this long... I was hoping to try them out before I went to sleep but they still aren't up... Oh well, it's sleepy time, guess I'll just have to wait until later to try them out.

[ibender]

i'm getting all 3

[tomahawk72]

I've tried several times but cannot get into My Iron Lung. I'll get the Weezer song though.

I just really want more metal. :( I know, I'm whining.

[HubbubJub]

Is it out yet? I should be sleeping...

[Bluvox]

I'll get Buddy Holly when I get home tonight, not sure I've heard the other two...

[TheHip41]

Who's buying?


i am buying this when I get home

stoked for Radiohead and Weezer

[jdpkeeper]

8:30am eastern time, no new DLC.....

[dfjdejulio]

Hm... 8:38am eastern time... still no sign of new DLC... what's up?

Most recent downloads I see are the punk pack and the rock band theme. Could this have something to do with the Rock Band Central server maintenance scheduled this morning?

Dagnabbit, if I can't get it in the next few minutes, I can't get it until tonight. And I wanted to play it at lunch time at the office today.

[padreswin]

Looks like no pre-work DLC session today!

[jdpkeeper]

"Servers will be down for scheduled maintenance on Tuesday, December 18th from 8:30am EST until 11am EST."

I am amused with the irony, but do not feel one iota of guilt. Bands don't have the right to tell us which one of their songs we should like more, or less. How pretentious can you be? (the band, not you Hungry Samurai)

[DesiredFX]

I don't think it's pretentious, but I do think it's a bit whiny: the song opened the door for them to be hugely successful and ultimately very independent. I heard an interview with Thom Yorke in which he said that OK Computer sounds like it does because after all the money they made on the first two albums, they could afford to get their own studio set up, which allowed them to work on material as long as they wanted to at no additional expense.

It's the double-edged sword of popularity: if you want it, you have to be willing to acknowledge what brought it to you.

Right, because the artists themselves (or their record label, whoever owns the rights) have absolutely NO input as to what songs of theirs make it into the game. Didn't you know that Harmonix can just go out and pick songs willy-nilly and throw them into their game without getting any approval from anyone? :rolleyes:

"Respect your artists." What a godawful stupid statement. Radiohead isn't stupid. They know Creep is their biggest. song. ever. They might hate the fact that it almost made them a one hit wonder, but they ain't dumb ;)

[TH3Hammer]

I just hope the Pretenders cover is good. I'm planning to buy all 3 songs, but that is the one I am most excited about.

[logicalnoise]

i woke up at 7 am for buddy holly man cmon!!!!

bang bang knockin on the door!...best part for singing ever?

If HMX already submitted the DLC then it's all on the XBL team.

[MeleeMan]

Thirty-nine minutes until DLC!

[logicalnoise]

Thirty-nine minutes until DLC!

how do you know? It was running late already is there some update?

[jonfitzsimon]

Thirty-nine minutes until DLC!

hopefully!

[dfjdejulio]

Thirty-nine minutes until DLC!
We will see. I'm a little nervous because Major Nelson's 'blog (http://www.majornelson.com/default.aspx) hasn't mentioned any RB downloads for today yet.

(Major Nelson is the community manager boss dude for XBox Live. He has a pretty good 'blog that usually mentions every single download, often before they're available.)

[MeleeMan]

From the Rock Band Server on XBL -

"Servers will be down until 11 am EST, Dec. 18"

[CowShark]

Radiohead isn't stupid. They know Creep is their biggest. song. ever. They might hate the fact that it almost made them a one hit wonder, but they ain't dumb ;)

They probably liked Creep just fine until they'd been on tour playing it for 2 years straight. I doubt that they'd feel any ill will by giving it to video gamers to sing/play whenever they wanted. That's one potential audience sated, able to experience music that they've more or less put behind them without having to play that same song again.

[jonfitzsimon]

I am going to pass the rest of the time by watching "How I Met Your Mother" that i dvr'ed from last night. I freaking love that show. Doogie Howser makes that show.

Yeah, but the Servers are still under maintenance.

after 2.5 years of this show, he is no longer "Doogie", he's Barney.

He is out from under that shadow.

He has created a character that is very memerable and likable. HIMYM is the best sit com on TV now, and probably in the last 5 years. Basically since Friends and Seinfeld left the air.

The Office is probably a better show overall, but its not really a sitcom, it is in it's own league.

[Reaper2099]

doesn't DLC update on xbl at like 5am, besides I just tested connection on the servers by doing band quickplay and i connect with 2 other people. Servers seem fine to me

The funny thing is that "Barney" in real life is ***. And he plays his womanizing charachter so perfect though. He is honestly a great actor. did you see him in Harold and Kumar go to White Castle?

[DesiredFX]

Wow, this is careening wildly off topic.

And I'm a huge HIMYM fan.

Playing multiplayer online does not depend on Harmonix's servers.

[admanimal]

Neither do DLC downloads.

well i also connected to the online leaderboards? Is that on their servers? If not then what is?

[MasterTick]

From the Rock Band Server on XBL -

Ok... it doesn't matter if the rock band servers are down. The dlc is hosted on Microsoft's servers.

[Reaper2099]

*sigh* why on the week of buddy holly?

[admanimal]

From another thread:


Nothing on Live updated today so it's all on Microsoft. I'm sure they're working on it and will get it fixed soon.

[mobhit101]

w0rd on How I Met Your Mother :D
one of the funniest shows on tv right now!


::back on topic::

My Iron Lung and Buddy Holly FTW! Can't wait to rock these out when I get home!

[DesiredFX]

*sigh* why on the week of buddy holly?

At a guess, I'd say it was specifically to torment you.

[MdubMedia]

Weak sauce. I got home early from work, nobody home in the apartment above me, and I went to DL Buddy Holly and it's nowhere to be found....*sigh*
