The Official Thread to Guess What the DLC For the 25th is.

[MeleeMan]

What do you think it will be?

[Elnino]

Anything from that Twisted Sister Christmas album. It's all perfect for RB.

[TheBends]

It is who's next. i read somewhere it will come out before 2008 and tuesday next is the 1st

[A_Perfect_TOOL]

They're getting Tool for me for xmas. :)

[Quinarvy]

One by Metallica is my guess

[Arreck]

One by Metallica is my guess

Oh god, I have nightmares about that song now because of GH3. :p

I hope it's some free stuff, but bet it's a full album.

[druff42]

I'm hoping for Don't Shoot Me Santa by the Killers, and hopefully a time frame on those grateful dead songs =P

[padreswin]

The first full-length album - my guess is Who's Next.

[Magnet]

I'm gonna go with Who's Next. I can't really think of anything more appropriate.

[erickOnasis412]

i also have a feeling its gonna be "Who's Next".. i'm really hoping i'll be playing baba o'riley on tuesday!

[Grave461]

Metallica's Black Album

[Royges]

Nirvana's Nevermind

http://card.mygamercard.net/ES/gelsig/ROYGES.png (http://profile.mygamercard.net/ROYGES)

[SoKGiX]

discounted song pack?... :hmm:

[omghi2u]

yep its Metallica's Black Album. I knew trusted ole' wiki would have it first.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_songs_in_Rock_Band#Downloadable_content

bookmark it boys and girls!

edit: btw I wonder if we will be able to buy singles as Enter Sandman is already on our in-game tracklist and don't feel we should have to pay 1.99 for it.

To bad that Metallica's Black Album isn't coming out. (Sniffle,sniffle,sob)

[blue_dragonzero]

Can Anyone Verify if this site is correct. Sometimes people edit the dates to mess with people. And if this is correct then this will be a great christmas.

Read above post

[CKarinja]

It's a lie. It used a false citation. Someone edit it back out.

Yeah. I looked at the citation and all it states is:

"But wait, there's more. Hoping to toll the bell on its competition, Harmonix revealed the Grammy-winning "Enter Sandman" from Metallica's 1991 Black album will be included in Rock Band's initial lineup shipping with the game. Announced at the end of EA's press conference, Kathy Vrabeck also made mention that a "substantial" number of songs from Metallica's catalog are slated to appear in the game."

So, all this confirms is that there will be a substanial amount of Metallica songs in Rock Band, which we already knew.

[buniteer]

looks like its b.s. but i really hope its not.... it would be a really great christmas gift... please let it be true... my favorite song is there (wherever i may roam)

[CKarinja]

looks like its b.s. but i really hope its not.... it would be a really great christmas gift... please let it be true... my favorite song is there (wherever i may roam)

I would love for The Black Album to be released too, but I don't believe it will. Good choice for yuor favorite song, Where I May Roam is banging :D. My ultimate guess would be Who's Next.

[Sashimi-X]

I wish Harmonix / EA would just release a statement noting what this week's content is...

[STLnCHI]

my guess it that it will be the Who's album. the question is will i have to wait till thursday/friday to download it from the Playstation Store. Having it available on Christmas would be awesome.

[STLnCHI]

my guess it that it will be the Who's album. the question is will i have to wait till thursday/friday to download it from the Playstation Store, which is what the trend had been lately. Having it available on Christmas would be awesome.

[padreswin]

The statement is likely to come during business hours tomorrow. HMXsean said Friday or Monday. Didn't happen Friday, so, must be Monday.

[STLnCHI]

i read somewhere that they would give us another DLC schedule for the next couple on weeks on monday, tomorrow

[Rock_Starman]

I'll go way out on this one...The Beatles.

[toefer2]

my guess it that it will be the Who's album. the question is will i have to wait till thursday/friday to download it from the Playstation Store, which is what the trend had been lately. Having it available on Christmas would be awesome.

The PS Store isn't updating at all next week, so the new songs will only be on the 360 version, starting Tuesday. The following week, when the PS Store does its regular Thursday update, they'll be getting a double dosage of new songs. Unless, of course, the PS Store decides to update sometime earlier that next week, which I doubt.

So:

360:
Next Week = New Stuff A
Following Week = New Stuff B

PS3
Next Week = Nothing
Following Week = New Stuff A & New Stuff B

[Quastor]

My guess is they drop a ****ton of stuff, just like release week. I think an album, and maybe two packs.

-Who's Next
-GnR Pack (Welcome to the Jungle, Paradise City, and one other)
-Rolling Stones Pack

*crosses fingers*

[blue_dragonzero]

My guess is they drop a ****ton of stuff, just like release week. I think an album, and maybe two packs.

-Who's Next
-GnR Pack (Welcome to the Jungle, Paradise City, and one other)
-Rolling Stones Pack

*crosses fingers*

That would signify the proper time for changing pants.

[TheTFacta]

I can wish for a Muse pack, but that will probably never be fulfilled.

Shot in the dark - It'll be BOTH Nevermind and Who's Next.

And if a GnR pack comes along with Paradise City, Sweet Child, and Jungle, I'll nut myself.

[Black Flame Zealot]

I'm with most here. I'll bet it'll be Who's Next.

It's obviously not going to be Christmas music since the PS store won't be getting any of the DLC until January 3.

[osirisbunnyfoofoo]

Either Who's Next or some Christmas stuff. I kind of hope it's the latter, just because it would make Christmas Day that much more awesome. I really think that if it's Who's Next, they would have already announced it. What's the point of having a surprise if it's something everyone already knows about?

[kanerules]

I think it'd be a peachy time to unleash the mighty Zep :P


But seriously, I agree...probably Who's Next :D

[tepidshark]

I will probably be Who's Next, but would be crazy if in addition to that they also put out Nevermind, and maybe some big single songs on the same date.

[sandswipe]

My guess is, we'll get Who's Next, a nice Grateful Dead 3 pack, and either a pack or a few songs which are unannounced and unbelievably awesome (Beatles, Zeppelin, Guns N Roses, etc), possibly an entire album.

That'll also probably be the last day we get a super update for a while. It'd be enough, though.

[Rock_Starman]

Maybe it'll be Who's Next AND a Who pack with Pinball Wizard,My Generation and Who Are You.

[ThinkSoJoE]

Here's hoping that it's the other 7 songs from "...And Justice For All." I'd love to be able to play "Eye of the Beholder" on Rock Band

[CableCarrier]

Maybe it'll be Who's Next AND a Who pack with Pinball Wizard,My Generation and Who Are You.

That would be inhumanly awesome.

[Draconis77]

I previously wrote that they're going to have a Wham! pack. Last Christmas and Wake Me up before you go go.

[Nedyah]

I previously wrote that they're going to have a Wham! pack. Last Christmas and Wake Me up before you go go.

Dear lord that would be terrible.

If we're gonna stick with a Christmas Theme then I want TSO! I don't think having an instrumental or two wouldn't be all that horrible.

Other than that I'd like some Megadath or even any old thrash like Toxic Watlz (Exodus), Critcal Mass (Nuclear Assault) & Remember the Fallen (Sodom). But that's wishful thinking.

[Eman311]

Something unannounced and unexpected that will rock our socks off.

[Sgt Pepper]

I'll go way out on this one...The Beatles.

I'd give my right kidney and a chunk of my left one to see that happen...

[Halfazedninja]

I think it's going to be some rock covers of Christmas songs to counter the GH content. Anything from Punk Rock Christmas would be good with me :)

[the_spike]

I'm guessing a three song cheap pack "Dew Breakout 07 Artists" with tracks from The Myriad, Them Terribles and The Material and either the Nevermind or Who's Next albums.

I say Nevermind because it seems like if they want to go for a surprise that they would go for Nevermind over Who's Next because less has been said about it.

[jr174200]

I'm going to guess the Bang Camaro 3-pack that showed up on wikipedia and dissapeared.

[Fatal1ty_Reaper]

The Who is kinda weak lol... I'd take it I guess, but the Nevermind album would be much better.

[obsoleteshock]

I predict a major re-launch of the DLC with a similar amount of content to the original launch. There are going to be a lot of people opening the game within the next few days and it would be a great time to tempt people at all of the family parties while people are off from school/work. Plus, there are a lot of drunken New Year's parties coming up, so the more awesomeosity the better to launch the game beyond the hardcore early adopters. I'd say something like the following:

- One full album (probably Who's Next)
- A Grateful Dead song pack
- A couple of other song packs from bands in the game with master tracks(Maybe STP, Foo Fighters or Soundgarden)
- A few random tracks, likely one-hit wonders and cover versions of classic rock songs

After that, they'll go back to a three-pack per week with maybe one full album per month.

[theplot]

This is just me being hopeful, but it would be pretty awesome if they offered up Still Alive by Jonathan Coulton (the Portal song) for free on Christmas.

[tombrady]

They're getting Tool for me for xmas. :)
How dare you support Tool...lock this thread please.

[Vertebreaker]

After that, they'll go back to a three-pack per week with maybe one full album per month.

That'd be highly awesome, minus the Grateful Dead. They do absolutely nothing for me, but that's just my musical taste.

I'll probably get booed out of the topic, but I would love so much to see a Chevelle pack with Family System, The Clincher, and maybe The Red, and a Breaking Benjamin pack with Breath, So Cold, and Firefly or Breakdown.

Also, a Mudvayne pack of basically anything by them. I don't care. I just want my Mudvayne.

If I had those three packs, I'm pretty sure I could die happy.

[Draconis77]

I won't boo you Vertebreaker. I love Chevelle and Breaking Benjamin.

[obsoleteshock]

That'd be highly awesome, minus the Grateful Dead. They do absolutely nothing for me, but that's just my musical taste.



I was going for more a prediction than a statement of personal preference. I don't know much of the Dead's catalogue, and I doubt it will be my cup of tea. I like Touch of Grey, so I'll probably pick up the pack that it ends up in and see if the rest catches me or not.

[Jimmik]

My Christmas miracle would involve

-Who's Next (full album)(obviously)
-Is This It? by The Strokes (full album)
-Supergrass 3 Pack (Tonight, Time, I'd Like to Know)
-Bad Reputation by Joan Jett
-Suck My Kiss by RHCP
-Can't You Hear Me Knockin by the Rolling Stones
-Police and Thieves by The Clash

I think I turned this into a wish list on accident........Oh well! My real prediction is Who's Next for Christmas and a list of DLC through the second or third week of Jan. Good enough for me :D

[cjkuhlenbeck]

What if....
They just added like a whole 3rd of the requested songs on the RB website...
THAT would be cool...but they'll prolly just add some crap remix of a crap song...
oh well...

....ps....have you ever seen so many "....."s in a post?....

[erickOnasis412]

I'm guessing a three song cheap pack "Dew Breakout 07 Artists" with tracks from The Myriad, Them Terribles and The Material

i saw those three bands listed on wikipedia under the Downloadable Content section, but just out of curiosity, where did this rumor even come from that they were going to have songs on Rock Band? im just curious as to why these three bands were rumored to have DLC content

[Gamers_League]

Led zeppelin mothership

[TreoRock_]

Guns and Roses DLC Album! Anyone I don't care!

[TheFatBloke]

My Christmas miracle would involve

-Who's Next (full album)(obviously)
-Is This It? by The Strokes (full album)




Is This It would be an absolute godsend and I would willingly pay through the ass to get that.

[vApathyv]

I'ma go out on a limb and say that, since it's Christmas, it'll be some Harmonix in-house bands doing covers of Christmas classics. Something like Vagiant doing a cover of Santa Claus Is Coming To Town, for example. Either that, or Who's Next PLUS at least one free Christmas-themed song.

[vApathyv]

Is This It would be an absolute godsend and I would willingly pay through the ass to get that.

I'd give up a freaking arm just to get that album...

[dfjdejulio]

It's obviously not going to be Christmas music since the PS store won't be getting any of the DLC until January 3.

Well, by that reasoning, it could still be... "New Years Day" by U2!

[humbo]

If it is Christmas themed stuff they could have "Do They Know It's Christmas" with support for multiple mics in coop hahahaha.

[trilidar]

I'm going to guess the Bang Camaro 3-pack that showed up on wikipedia and dissapeared.

Umm. Anybody know/remember what the 3 songs were?

tril

[Katdaddy]

Metallica's Black Album

That would be amazing.

[BathTub]

I think it's too late for christmas themed music, that should have been out a couple weeks ago. Now it is christmas and as many people have said, a lot of people will be getting their sets today, and Sean did mention awesomeness, so my guess is for something big and wanted.

Maybe Who's Next, if theres any albums that will be it. otherwise a couple of 3 packs and a few random singles. Guns and Roses, Rolling Stones, Bon Jovi perhaps.

[Killbasa]

If it is Christmas themed stuff they could have "Do They Know It's Christmas" with support for multiple mics in coop hahahaha.

And we can all met up on-line together and sing it in a great RB choir...

COME ON EVERYBODY!!!!


"FEEEEED THE WOOOOOOO-RLD! FEEEEEED THE WOOOOO-RLD!"

[thrdeye]

Well, by that reasoning, it could still be... "New Years Day" by U2!

That would be cool.

[CKarinja]

Metallica's Black Album.


That would be amazing.

I second that. :D

Oh yeah, and give me my Led Zeppelin.

[Ceely4]

Guns and Roses DLC Album! Anyone I don't care!

Why just one album? Why not their whole discography? I would buy every song! That’s my Christmas wish/dream.

What I realistically think will happen is we will get an announcement today about what will be released tomorrow and it will probably be the Who’s Next album along with a song pack or 3 single songs. Then we will be updated every Friday or Monday about what they plan to release that following Tuesday.

[DYoungEagle]

what i wish is for some AC/DC

[That_One_Dude]

Nevermind and the Black Album won't make it because Who's Next was already announced it was going to be the first album.

That's if we even get an album on the 25th...

[CKarinja]

Nevermind and the Black Album won't make it because Who's Next was already announced it was going to be the first album.

That's if we even get an album on the 25th...

True, but having The Black Album released anytime soon as the album they plan on releasing would be the best (Since they never announced which album it would be).

[shmup]

If they do release something tomorrow, is it going to be only for XBox and release PS3 a few days later...like they've been doing all along? That would royally suck.

[sushi111]

Oh Im so excited to see what it is!

Im opening up a fresh XBL Points Card for Christmas and I hope I get a good surprise under my DLC tree.

[CKarinja]

If they do release something tomorrow, is it going to be only for XBox and release PS3 a few days later...like they've been doing all along? That would royally suck.

PS3 will get in next tuesday (Not Christmas), because Sony's offices will be closed for the Holidays.

Xbox 360:
This Week - Batch A
Next Week - Batch B

PS3:
This Week - Nothing
Next Week - Batch A and B

[Ultrace]

looks like its b.s. but i really hope its not.... it would be a really great christmas gift... please let it be true... my favorite song is there (wherever i may roam)
They've already got the mainstream Enter Sandman plus three older classic Metallica tracks. I could totally dig on For Whom the Bell Tolls, but I hope we don't see any more Metallica for a while. Remember, there are hundreds of great bands out there (metal included) who haven't had any songs in RB...

[FoeHammer117]

If they do release something tomorrow, is it going to be only for XBox and release PS3 a few days later...like they've been doing all along? That would royally suck.

Hey, you PS3 Online users get what you paid for!

[Valery Faye]

I'm going to have to jump on the "Who's Next" bandwagon, despite that my mind sort of swayed towards the whole Jonathan Coulton comment. I'd gladly pay an over-priced single track for "Still Alive" but oh well, throwaway update '09 ahoy!

[Setsu102]

I really hope it will be "Who's Next", but if I remember correctly the announcement a while back said "Who's Next" wasn't coming till after the new year.

[Maggot_Brain]

Announce something already! Geez!

(Patience is a virtue best reserved for others.)

[obsoleteshock]

When it was widely believed that Who's Next would be available at launch, I said that the first thing I would ever play on Rock Band would be Baba 'O Reilly. It's a good thing I'm not a man of my convictions...

[CJ452]

I'm hoping some guns n roses

[Vriess]

I gotta join in with the chorus here, "Who's Next" would make a great christmas gift to all!

[crowithabomb]

maybe a new band to play to on rockband instead of a band that is already on the game.

[CableCarrier]

maybe a new band to play to on rockband instead of a band that is already on the game.

If this is the case, it needs to be Queen. Lots of Queen.

[MeleeMan]

If this is the case, it needs to be Queen. Lots of Queen.

Here's hoping for Bohemian Rhapsody!

[AdamBomb629]

Here's hoping for Bohemian Rhapsody!

Oh man, that would rule... so much! :D

[hessonbox]

I'll go way out on this one...The Beatles.

that would be so amazing. can they even get rights to the beatles songs. man i would play them all day

[ThePaska]

I have a feeling it is going to end up being Who's Next. I just hope it is something good, it is Christmas after all.

[SMOKE_U_FOOLS]

I don't think they'll disappoint us...They haven't so far...

[Charron]

i saw those three bands listed on wikipedia under the Downloadable Content section, but just out of curiosity, where did this rumor even come from that they were going to have songs on Rock Band? im just curious as to why these three bands were rumored to have DLC content

Here's (http://www.melodic.net/newsOne.asp?newsId=9356) the source for the claim.

The only thing I can be sure about predicting is a glut of songs like on release. Not sure how many, but certainly more than 3. Think it's too early for the Dew bands, and an album is pretty likely, but if there is an album I think there'll still be something outside of it. I'd predict a revival of a past GH song or three, since it'd take (slightly) less work to develop- two of the lines are already done.

Still. Who's Next seems pretty likely. Anything else is me hoping.

[DanteintheDark]

i would think that it's going to be something we have heard about before... such as who's next, the grateful dead or nirvana's nevermind. I just want some bad company or tom petty.

edit: by the way, i don't know why anybody would want christmas music. sure, it'd be good for a day but would you really want it randomly showing up in band world tour all year long? i don't think i would even download it.

[chrstnslts1]

True....True.........

[pmyers23]

c'mon already! announce something!

[AdamBomb629]

I don't think anyone is working at Harmonix today.

http://www.rockband.com/forums/showgroups.php See?

I think we may not get an announcement, but instead just get some DLC up tomorrow.

I keep saying "Dire Straits-Sultans of Swing" would be the ultimate

There will be DLC next week. An announcement will go out today or Monday.

An announcement would go through a press release (probably jointly from MTV Games and Harmonix) to news outlets. This doesn't require any Harmonix developers to be active on the Rock Band forums or anything.

[AdamBomb629]

It's up. http://www.rockband.com/forums/showthread.php?t=17450

Not too exciting! great price, though! I do like MOVE ALONG!

[DanteintheDark]

anticlimactic.

[williams22]

Wow I'm very underwhelmed. All American Rejects should be fun, but only releasing 5 songs? When are the full albums coming? How about some holiday music?

[AdamBomb629]

HOliday Music wouldn't work being mixed into the BWT.

[coolman01231]

Not what i was expecting, but ill take All American Rejects

[RastamanD]

well...the way i see it is. if we all just sing christmas carols right now all at the same time in unison we will get our announcement we want so badly....any suggestions on a song?

Edit: HMM i guess it worked....i bet i was the only one singing

[Charron]

Well, at least I was right that it was more than 3 songs.

[Xanthous]

The two 30 Seconds to Mars tracks are going to be awesome, and at $0.99 a song, you can't possibly go wrong! That's a friggn iTunes track right there. =]

[Purple Penguin]

by the way, i don't know why anybody would want christmas music. sure, it'd be good for a day but would you really want it randomly showing up in band world tour all year long? i don't think i would even download it.

You could always erase the song off your system and in the case of the Xbox 360 just re download it again for free next year. that way it doesn't appear in any set lists.

[williams22]

Anyone know if we can get these at midnight tonight?

[DanteintheDark]

can you erase them? i didn't realize that.

on second thought concerning the releases, .99 cents isn't bad at all. especially, if you got a good deal on xbla points.

[pntbllrspdr]

Did HMX even say there was gonna be DLC on Christmas?

[Jimmik]

I predict............Some All-American Rejects, some 30 Seconds to Mars, and maybe the Sounds. And at $.99 per song!!!

Hah just kidding. That'd never happen..

[Eman311]

well i was dead on with my "random stuff" prediction.

[tazzmissionx]

30 Seconds To Mars is fine, I got no issues against them. All-American Rejects, I'm tired of hearing Move Along already but maybe it might be different playing it, Dirty Little Secret I am unsure how fun it will be to play, I think I'd rather play Swing, Swing instead.
The Sounds I am simply going to pass on, besides Maja's singing, the band overall sounds generic, lifeless and lazy.

[Phrank-E]

We still haven't seen The Who's "Who's Next" album yet. Which I sorta expected last thursday.

[BathTub]

Well that was a tad underwhelming.

That was my first question, I have nothing against aar but if you're going to put them in the game there has to be swing swing. Nothing against the decision, but it would have been a nice three pack.

[SoKGiX]

lame...

can see why though. all the high school/grade schoolers who are into this kinda stuff will be waaay more likely to buy...

sucks for everyone else though
