List of Songs for RBN Store Launch

[trg007]

Well, it looks like the store is here! Here is the (I think) final list of content approved for the RBN Store - setting a new record for number of new songs to hit the RB platform in one day, topping even the disc releases!

Important: If a song listed here isn't in the store right away, check back in a day or two. For each song, the person/company who submitted it is required to send documentation to MTV Games to show that they've obtained the proper permission to release the song on RBN. If any bands/labels/authors didn't get their paperwork back in time, their song(s) won't be for sale until they do.

Current number of approved songs: 120

Format is: Artist - Title | Genre/Sub-Genre | Release Year | Author | Video Link (If Available)

Song titles in green = recently added!

FAQ

Q: Where can I purchase these songs?
A: You can't - yet. The RBN Store has not launched yet, but once it does, you will be able to purchase them from the Rock Band Network Store from the main menu of RB2.

Q: When does the RBN Store open?
A: Your guess is as good as mine. :) It was originally planned to be launched by now, but Harmonix is still working out bugs in the process. The latest rumored launch time is "early 2010".

Q: Why are there so few songs? The RBN has been in Beta since August! Shouldn't there be more by now?
A: There are a couple of reasons for this. First, the Peer Review process takes longer than you might think if you're not currently part of the Beta. There are a LOT of things to test for in a song. A song could be close to passing and then a bug is discovered that requires fixing, even if it wasn't discovered during the Playtest phase. When this happens, the Peer Review progress starts over at 0%.

Second, there is still a relatively small number of people currently in the Closed Beta, so songs aren't getting through the process as quickly as they will when there are more members. The stickied thread asking for RBN volunteers is intended to help alleviate this problem.

Q: How much do these songs cost?
A: Unfortunately, the price is not displayed on the creators.rockband.com pages, so I don't have that information. Most songs will likely be priced at $1 (80 Microsoft Points).

Q: Are the videos the same versions that will appear in the RBN Store? Why isn't there a video for [insert song here]?
A: Videos may or may not be the final versions, depending on when the author made them. To be on the safe side, always assume a video is of a work in progress version of the song that may contain authoring mistakes which were later fixed before approval. Some songs don't have videos because the author hasn't made one available, perhaps at the artist's request. If you find a video of a song that I'm missing, let me know and I'll add it!

Q: I listened to [insert song here] and I don't think it's [insert genre/sub-genre here]; it should be [insert other genre/sub-genre here]!
A: Genres can often be a subject of debate; however, the Genre/Sub-Genre info is set by the author and cannot be changed once a song is approved. There is a set list of genres to choose from - an author can't just type in anything they wish - so they may have had to choose one that isn't exact but is the closest fit. As a side-note, the Sub-Genre is only used for browsing the RBN Store and will not be displayed in-game.

Q: I heard from so-and-so on Twitter/Facebook/MySpace/etc. that [insert song here] has been approved! Why isn't it listed here?
A: All songs go through a 3-day "quarantine period" after receiving the required number of Peer Review votes. To be on the safe side, I'm not adding any songs to the list until they pass that phase and go up on creators.rockband.com as "Song Approved". Also, the band/author may have jumped the gun or mistakenly believed a song was approved when it wasn't. Or, I may have just not gotten to it yet. :)

Q: I haven't heard of any of these bands/songs! Where's the "good" music?
A: See that little button in the upper-left corner of your screen with an arrow pointing to the left? Click that now. The RBN is designed specifically to give lesser-known artists a chance to get their music in the game, and for open-minded RB players to discover music they might never have heard otherwise. Harmonix will continue to release a wide range of popular music through the regular Rock Band Music Store, so if there's nothing on the RBN that you're interested in, don't buy any of it.

[kuiosikle]

Great topic and FAQ. This is a great look into how things are coming along for those not in the beta, and the work you're putting into making a topic out of it is appreciated.

Hopefully the songs already in the process are OKed for the marketplace soon too, and you'll have more to add to your list! I'm interested to see the variety of genres coming out. Especially the electronica and techno sub-cats as I'm authoring for an artist with some songs in those categories. ;)

P.S. Enosity that is a very clever authoring title. :D

[trg007]

I'll actually have more to add in a couple of days. A whole lot of ass-kicking happened on creators.rockband.com this weekend and a handful of songs got the required votes to pass, and several others are one or two votes away. :)

I'll add the newly passed songs once they're fully green-lighted by HMX in the quarantine phase.

[a21schizoidman]

Glass Hammer makes me :D

[DiRT_X]

do you know if there are any more entries pending in the urban genre? that one song is a plesant suprise, i like it, and will purchase it.

[S1ckH4nds]

I know there have been a couple of other hip hop songs that have shown up in playtesting, but I don't believe any others have made it to the peer review stage as of yet. I agree with you, though; "Top Back" is a lot more fun than I was expecting it to be, and definitely is worth a purchase.

[recharge138]

I already see three songs that are bought on launch day!

Stoked.

[Thom1234]

The Heist and Top Back are insta-buys.

[Knucklesdude]

Grumpytowwwn. Grumpytowwwn.

That song's hilarious.

[Mickstafa]

Trg, can you add Modern Skirts - Eveready? That one has passed. BTW, glad to see people here know Glass Hammer. Hopefully their second song I'm currently authoring will make the launch.

[BostonKingB]

I am struggling with learning to author songs. I'm trying though.

[trg007]

Trg, can you add Modern Skirts - Eveready? That one has passed.

I sure will, once it pops back up on the site as "approved". That's one of the ones that just finished Peer Review this weekend. :)

[HeyRiles]

Wooooooooooooooooo :D:D:D:D

I mean to tell you, I ended up purchasing the song on iTunes. I love it! Can't wait to download it for good

Mick, think you can throw up a preview video for that one? I want people to have that song :D

[Ferocious Q]

No insta buys for me :(

[FlexValentino]

top back looks awesome... shame the video on the poweer metal song aint longer.. ight be worth a purchase that one aswell

I'm glad you like it! I'm preparing a package to send to the band with the preview videos. I always prefer if the bands themselves release this kind of thing, to make sure everything falls in line with rights, etc. :)

*Sees Modern Skirts on the list*

*Hangs head, crosses another name off the list*

At this rate everyone I wanted to author will be up for sale before I can contact them! ....which isn't exactly a bad thing but still!

Great thread.

It would be nice if you could format the newly added items differently for a little while (maybe an * at start) so one can continuously look here and see what was added.

[S1ckH4nds]

Ha ha, would love to do some of their older stuff off Zebra Zebra! Not too sure how well it would work in a T-for-Teen game, though, with every other word censored. :D Glad to hear you're a fan. Their second track we've worked on for them, "Sestri Levante", has just been approved as well. With any luck, we'll have at least one, and maybe two more ready for launch.

The Modern Skirts? Why this is wonderful news! insta-buy for me.

With the addition of Rose of Jericho - "Buried Cold" we've finally surpassed 20 tracks. :)

Well, you were listening to Sean's stream tonight, so you have an idea of what's going on. :) Tons of songs can be authored very quickly, but the bottleneck is with the small amount of people playtesting tracks on the Creators site.

[Xenigma]

No doubt the number of playtesters will increase once the program opens up, though. Then again, so will the number of songs to playtest, so I guess it all works out!

[Casto21]

With the addition of Rose of Jericho - "Buried Cold" we've finally surpassed 20 tracks. :)

Anyway you could put a count of the total number of songs in the OP too? It's quicker for you to put it in there with each update then everybody counting it each time.

[ThatAuthoringGroup]

The problem we're running into is since there is a limited amount of testers in the closed beta, and songs need a certain amount of positive reviews before they can move to the passed section, when real life or what have you gets in the way of a few people playtesting, then the songs will never get approved.

You can only review a song once and if everyone who is currently play testing has reviewed it, it gets stuck at 88% or what have you.

When it opens up we shouldn't have that problem, but that's the reason that more songs aren't getting pushed through right now.

Hopefully some of the 250+ people volunteering to be playtesters in Henry's thread will be given access so the bottleneck can be fixed.

[jmemmerson]

I think in that list there are definitely some insta-buys, I'm thinking White Heat and Sestri Levante would look in my setlist
By the way, I have been trying to follow a particular song, 'Stand for Something' by Skindred. Is there anyway that anyone can tell how that one is doing? And for the record, is The Future Soon going to be released as a RBN or even a regular Rock Band song?

I can tell you, because I worked on that song. :) It currently needs just a couple more votes to pass Peer Review.


And for the record, is The Future Soon going to be released as a RBN or even a regular Rock Band song?

It was authored by HMX folks, but it'll be released through the RBN. Jonathan Coulton has several songs being worked on for RBN, with various authors (HMX, RhythmAuthors, RockGamer Studios).

Awesome. I wish I could do peer review stuff but I live in the UK and we kind of haven't got any of that yet. Sigh. Song should be awesome when it's released though. I love their album

[Fizzeler]

I really hope the Spock's Beard, WatchTower (these are gonna be a blast on drums), Evile, Marillion and Blotted Science tracks make it

[broncosfan06]

quite a few day one buys for me:

Amberian Dawn - River of Tunoi (i will get every power metal song and the fact that its female fronted is another plus.....plus its a kickass song)

DnA's Evolution - The Heist (most kick ass drum solo ever......nuff said)

Rose of Jericho - Buried Cold (female fronted and awesome vox)

Zack Wilson - Another California Song (reminds me alot of Brad Paisley, incredibly catchy)

and...........i still cant believe im saying this but.....

Alias Unknown - Top Back (it actually looks really fun and looks like it works really well in the game.....i actually think it might be one of the more fun songs so far despite the genre)

Hey, thanks for this awesome thread. I know you have a bunch of info about the songs already and this might be a stretch but could you also list the final tier difficulties for the songs? I'm curious how each of them turned out.

What do you mean by that?

If you mean how are they selling, none of them have gone on sale yet.

If you mean how is it doing in the review process it is at 83%. Almost approved.

[BStu78]

.

[Xenigma]

Do we really think $1 is going to be the going rate for RBN songs? I mean, I won't complain, but I really wasn't sure if any consensus had emerged among developers.

I don't think there is an official consensus, but it seems a general understanding that the greatest potential exposure is at the cheapest price point available. This may not apply to some better-known bands, and may change if the overall quality of RBN charts proves to be equivalent to Harmonix charts, but for now appears the most sensible option.

Food for thought: would you rather have 100 curious RBN users buy your song at $1, or be limited to 25 dedicated fans buying it at $2?

[ThatAuthoringGroup]

I can tell you that there are some charts that you would never know that HMX didn't author them.

Others have a different feel than a HMX chart, they still play fine and are fun, but HMX has a certain feel to their charts, kind of a playing style they set up that just clicks when you are playing it, whether you realize it or not.

Some of the charts have that feel to them, other's don't.

Again, don't think this means the other charts aren't good or fun, they just feel different when you play them.

You'll know what I mean when you play them.

Wow, Amberian Dawn! I've been waiting for more local (read: Finnish) music since "Are You Dead Yet?". I'll probably get both of the Speck songs as well...

...Assuming they'll be available on the PS3 at launch, that is. :P

I can't wait to play these AD songs :D when are they gonna start selling them already? Any hope for Christmas?

[JPSChampagne]

Strange as it is, given my large support of the RBN concept so far, I think "Top Back" is my only 100% purchase so far. Other songs look cool and I'll strongly consider them, but that one is my only sure-fire one so far. Just wondering - "Magic and Spells" by Steve and Lindley was mentioned and "Backyard Buildyard" is done. Anyone know the status of "Magic and Spells"? I LOVE that song and I hope it's done by release day.

[ShoTTySLanKiN]

Skindred is a day one purchase for me.

[Happy Dragon]

Wow! The list is really shaping up nicely. So excited to get this thing going. Already see a couple tracks that I will pick up as soon as they become available.

Keep up the awesome work.

Something I think would be good would for a thread to be started for each band that has a song released on Rock Band so people can use the "thread" rating system as a way to review the music in store.

Ahh sorry lol, ummm do you know how "Love and the Triumph Of" by Broadcast is doing?


It's approved, but in that wonderful limbo stage. We have a video ready to go for it as soon as it shows up on the Creators Club. Hopefully by tonight :)

[MetalLicka]

Lots of awesome music, I'd buy alot of it if I were able, alas I play Rock Band on PS3.

[SHPhr34k]

There we go :D Just showed up.

Broadcast - "Love and the Triumph Of" | Alternative | 2009 | RhythmAuthors | Video (http://www.rhythmauthors.com/song_preview.php?id=10)
Difficulties: Guitar - 5, Bass - 1, Drums - 5, Vocals - 2, Band - 4

[calvin680]

so far so great! im really stoked to see more, more ,more!!!

[jellisjenius]

"Love and the Triumph Of" looks like great fun on guitar - definitely not a HMX type chart, but I like it. That and the Cetan Clawson and Amberian Dawn tracks are my day 1 buys so far.

[Thom1234]

Love and Triumph looks AWESOME.

It should be devil-tier on guitar and tier 4 on drums, IMO.

[toymachineSH]

It's like Outside pt.2

[broncosfan06]

Love And The Triumph Of is a frekin awesome song and a great chart........another day 1 buy for me...brings me to 7 day 1 buys so far.......RBN is so awesome

ill have to check out more of Broadcast's stuff......its a pretty awesome song

[solidsnakejt]

dna's evolution have an awesome drum solo wow !!!

most of those songs are gonna be day one buy for sure :D

all hail RBN ;)

[k-mac]

I see there haven't been any new additions for a few days - hopefully more are close to being passed. I guess it'll go much quicker once the Beta opens up, and hopefully that'll be soon. I thought the Beta would open by the new year, especially after Henry said it was about ready to launch a few weeks ago.

I think I remember reading something about open beta being open before the end of the year; somehow, I doubt that's going to happen.

That said, RBN was originally meant to be available in November, but unforeseen issues prevented that; the same thing may have occurred here.

Things have been slower due to the holidays, so there haven't been any new songs approved in a while. I'm sure it will pick up again after New Year's. As for when the actual open beta begins, your guess is as good as mine. :)

[LegendofRock3021]

Excellent thread, thanks for making it. I'm to take a look at each confirmed song that I haven't seen yet.

[mjlambert1]

Wavegroup! Interesting.

[CrazyFoxyFox]

I know! The Heist's drum solo looks freakin' fun!

[NarcoticDiamond]

All of the songs that are for sure going to be on RBN are sounding really good. A lot of day 1 buys for me. But does anyone know if "Where We're Going" by The Japanese Frog is doing well in the stages of getting passed into RBN?

That doesn't sound familiar to me. I just looked and its not listed in the test area.

[Xenigma]

The people responsible for authoring may not be in the closed beta, so it's entirely possible it hasn't had the chance to go through the peer review process yet.

[kuiosikle]

But does anyone know if "Where We're Going" by The Japanese Frog is doing well in the stages of getting passed into RBN?

The Japanese Frog (aka Sara Anthony-Velasco) is a good friend of mine and I'm working with her to try and put some of her songs out for RBN.

As others have suggested I'm not a part of the closed beta, so... that song is at stage one I guess you could say. I'm working on it best I can until the beta opens to the public. But I'm glad to know you're looking forward to it. :)

EDIT: I'm now in the beta, so I'll keep you updated on The Japanese Frog's songs status'

[tcole6]

Glass Hammer makes me :D

Totally up that. I was gonna post that, but I saw yours first.

This will be my first purchase.

[Der_Lex]

The Glass Hammer and Amberian Dawn songs are insta-buys, as is The Heist.

I'll probably pick up the You Shriek and Rose of Jericho songs as well, and after checking out some of their older stuff, Full-Souce has certainly piqued my interest too.

I really hope the PS3 gets a good share of these songs, because RBN is shaping up to be even better than I had hoped.

[vulcanjedi42]

Thank you for doing this list, first of all. I have a bad feeling I'm going to end up buying most of these. :D

One question, if anyone happens to know: how is it that none of the Jonathan Coulton songs that are supposed to be coming have made it this far? I'm particularly confused by the lack of The Future Soon, since that's the song in the sample project...

[HeyRiles]

The majority of those songs started getting peer reviewed before the JoCo songs. The Future Soon itself is being handled by Harmonix, so they're not exactly on the streamlined production plan that these RBN-centric companies are on - Harmonix still focuses on in-house songs too, you know!

And rightly so. It's just a bit puzzling that TFS is apparently finished enough to show as an example, but not ready for day one launch. Oh well, I'm sure by the time the Network is actually up, it'll have its share of JoCo.

[trg007]

I'm not actually sure what's going on with Jonathan Coulton. He hasn't been around the Creators site in a long time. I'm sure he's still supporting RBN, though.

[HeyRiles]

RockGamer Studios has Creepy Doll though, which I assumed would be completed by now, or maybe you guys switched hands with the track, I dunno

[RiceBalls]

i was told when the RBN is launched we are getting Nevermore's full album Dead Heart in a Dead World but i cant find anything about it online and i wont believe it until i see it here...anybody hear anything about that?. unlikely rumor i bet.

[DavyinaToga]

WaveGroup? As in, the studio where many Guitar Hero and Bemani games record their covers? How did I miss this until now? Freaking sweet!

[trg007]

Yep, same people!

Also, I found a video for You Shriek "Lilith in Libra" so I added a link for that. There haven't been new song approvals lately but I think that will change once HMX lets in the people they chose from the recruitment thread...

[Yoshipupdude]

Turn Yourself Around by Nick Gallant is another approved song that you dont have on the list. just lettin you know in case u didnt see it.

[trg007]

Added "Liverpool Judies" to the list. Things are starting to pick up now that more reviewers have joined the beta testing so I will have more to add soon! :)

[Charron]

Even Rats is official too. (And you can blame me for Liverpool Judies, I gave it its last review pass. :p )

[Xenigma]

Nancy Drew by Pink Flag also needs to be added to the list. At least a couple more songs have just passed peer review and will hopefully be officially approved soon, so things are looking good for the RBN launch slate. :)

[Catch-22]

even rats is official too. (and you can blame me for liverpool judies, i gave it its last review pass. :p )

yes!!!

[TheAuthorityClinton]

Just got word that Even Rats is fully approved! It's just a little different than the last video we put up. Don't know if that will be updated anytime though. Hopefully we will see some FC on that puppy! I'd love to see someone FC the expert drums.

[k-mac]

awesome - looking forward to playing Even Rats and Liverpool Judies on opening day!

[daretocompare]

Sorry to be a bother, however, I am somewhat colorblind and would appreciate it if you could change the colors to red and blue or just something else contrasting. Thanks!

[Mickstafa]

Glass Hammer's Hyperbole, a 7:30+ prog epic has been approved. I'm getting the band an autoplay video of the song tonight, so hopefully you guys can get a preview of the chart soon. This is the second Glass Hammer song ready for launch.

[Charron]

Yea, if I counted the site right we just hit 30 approved songs. We'll be over 50 if everything already in review passes.

Still, it'd be awesome if the RBN launch was the largest single-week addition to the Rock Band collection. I don't know that we can pull it off, but it'd be great if we did.

Assuming you are using the RB2 software-only release on the 360 in NA (since RBN is currently only Xbox 360 and NA), that's 95 songs (RB2, Peace Sells full album, and RB Live '08 pack). That's going to be an awfully hard number to beat, but if the store opening is still a while away, it's possible.

That's one of my favorite songs off the last album, so I'm really looking forward to that one.

[trg007]

Yay, two more got approved while I was asleep. :) Added Even Rats and Nancy Drew. Will add the others which have recently finished Peer Review once they show up on the site as Published.

30 and counting...

Pink Flag and the Homewreckers, at least that was what the album had on it. Too bad they didn't release "Fight Song" instead, very intersting drums in that song.

[Charron]

Oh, right, Peace Sells was the same week. I thought it was one of the slower weeks so the target would be under 90.

Still, there's almost that many in the site pipeline, though it'd take a while for all of them to be ready and reviewed. There is whatever Harmonix decides to release that week, too.

[kingtonyx]

With the new reviewers, those songs should come through faster.

[Thom1234]

I'll do my best :D

Also, Nancy Drew is going to be awesome on drums and vocals.

And, if this thread (http://www.rockband.com/forums/showthread.php?t=180201&page=1) is to be believed, I don't think there's going to be enough songs approved to beat the RB2/Peace Sells... week.

For when Glass Hammer's Hyperole gets added to the front page, here is the gameplay video.

yeah, there are a ton more that are close to approval though

[k-mac]

Looks like I might be picking up both Glass Hammer songs too. RBN will break my wallet!

[TheDreamGhost]

I have never heard of this band before until I viewed this page, but now i'm freakin obsessed with Amberian Dawn, their drummer and lead singer are amazing, defiinantly buying their songs when RBN comes out.

[foofighterfan4Mccain]

Awesome stuff, can't wait until the store opens:
1st day buys for songs that have been approved:
Liverpool Judies
Even Rats
Stand for Something

[recharge138]

Still getting more pumped!

Amberian Dawn sound really awesome, I know Speck and of course will be getting them, and I know Skindred and will be picking that track up.

5 gaurantees on launch day now. Damn.

[kingtonyx]

I didn't get in on any of these songs, but I'd say at least half of the songs I've tested/reviewed so far will be getting a buy from me as long as they're 80 MSP. I would understand if "Dancing With Myself" ends up being 160 though.

When the **** does this launch!?!? I want this song so badly! Please HMX, get this out before the end of Q1 2010.

[jayou521]

Can't wait for Full-Source songs, "Even Rats", and "Top Back"

[xXxAquariusxXx-CN]

hey, I can't find the Full-Source music anywhere, does anyone have a link to where I can listen to the Full-Source songs or a preview?

Since Yes is in your signature, I'd recommend checking out Glass Hammer.

Song 32 approved.

Jonathan Coulton - The Future Soon

[Tykki-Teme]

Damn, I'd really want Future Soon, but it will probably take some time before it makes it to the PS3 store :( Well, I'll be satisfied if the Amberian Dawn songs are available for PS3 at launch...

[recharge138]

Another first day buy. JoCo ftw.

End of January can't come fast enough.

Also hoping Lemon Demon (I'm guessing it has to be Ultimate Showdown) and Wheatus get approved soon, two more instabuys. And of course Dancing With Myself.

[kingtonyx]

the Wheatus song is not up for playtesting or anything yet, hopefully soon

[Thom1234]

I can't wait for Teenage Dirtbag. I was absolutely obsessed with that song when I was 7.

"I'm just a teenage dirtbag bay-by!"

[SCFox]

At Valencia Community College in Orlando Jonathan Coulton played a show in our performing arts theatre (that just let out honestly 15 minutes ago); told us about his life, his rise to fame, what it was like, played about 10 songs, and answered a few questions. Mine was of course of what is coming to RBN.

He told us that "The Future Soon" is already done,and that "it should be available to purchase in the next 48 hours", whatever that means. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C3_6LKK0rXg)

He also mentioned "Creepy Doll", which is already being worked on (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HDxgV-JDDfk), and that he just had to upload the finished verison or something to that effect, and said "Code Monkey" was also in the works.

He told no further titles, but said he loves the whole Rock Band Network thing and is looking forward to doing a bunch more songs for it, as he loves the whole process of releasing songs that way.

Then I shook his hand as our giant group of nerds gathered around chatting and laughing with him and my day was made.

I REALLY wish he would have elaborated on that whole 48 hour thing. WHAT DOES IT MEAN?!

[ethicalpaul]

Well I don't think he just blew it and leaked the opening date of the RBN store, so what I think he meant was that the song was submitted to the store just like the other (as of this writing) 31 songs, and is ready to go as soon as the store opens.

That's my guess.

[trg007]

I REALLY wish he would have elaborated on that whole 48 hour thing. WHAT DOES IT MEAN?!

If he said "available for purchase" he misunderstood (or HMX is suddenly going to open the RBN store today :)). After a song receives the required number of positive peer reviews it goes into a "quarantine" for a couple of days where HMX gives it the final stamp of approval. That's all that means.

[sonicnerd23]

Go, Even Rats, go!

[Xenigma]

Hyperbole is official! Up to 33 songs now.

[SpiderSambo]

I was thinking to myself that we'd only need another 50 or so to beat the "most new artists in a day" record

Then realised that some artists were already in the game (Jonathan Coultron) and some bands are releasing more than one song (Glass Hammer, Amberian Dawn etc.)

:/

Wow, I remember listening to that song way back when RhythmAuthors announced them. I thought it sounded insanely hard at the time - can't imagine what the charts will look like! :eek:

I'm curious to see how many Canadian bands/songs are going to be on RBN at launch. We're a nation of rockband fiends, and so many of those myspace pages seemed to stem from the great white north... ;)

Guitar looks harder to pass than Thrasher, Caprici, Constant Motion et al.

Drums look harder to pass than What a Horrible Night... due to the ridonculous blasts during the intro.

I will enjoy failing it. Repeatedly.

No, RBN songs will not be available for RB:U.

Dream Theater has yet to confirm they will actually do this, so I doubt we'll be seeing anything from them anytime soon (although I really hope DT does appear on RBN).

As far as I know, nothing has appeared in playtest yet from Music Game Authors, so no WatchTower or Spock's Beard. Are they not in the beta? :(

EDIT- Excuse me, yes, there is a Marillion song, as S1ckh4nds has already noted. Looks like it will probably be ready for day one.

Actually, there is a video if you click on this link right here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f8wTUcx6olA). It's old though. The charts have gone through many, many revisions since then. It's also a camera pointed toward a TV, so quality isn't the best. I'm looking to borrow a component video capture device to improve the videos.

For all the people asking about the prog rock bands, I want to strongly encourage you to check out the songs that are coming through the pipeline by Glass Hammer! Great, high quality music, recordings, and charts.

Yeah, i didn't put that link in there because it was such an older revision of the song. OP can put it there if he wants.

Also, I reviewed that song and had a lot of fun with it. Will be a day one purchase for me.

That is the point of RBN, y'know. Like, the exact point that HMX made clear from the start?

Also, does it cause people physical pain to listen to new music? The general attitude on these forums has lead me to believe that there must be an allergy to it or something...

[Tykki-Teme]

Well, the idea of finding new music through RBN is definitely working for me at least, I've already got 9 day one purchases from bands that I hadn't listened to before RBN. I've already fallen for Amberian Dawn and Glass Hammer <3

[broncosfan06]

The Buddy Disease sounds pretty kick ass, Ill be getting that one too........9 day one buys so far.....RBN is the best thing ever.

Hey Sean, do me a favor and email me? I lost your e-mail address when I had to reinstall my computer a few weeks ago. :o

YES!! I love this song! Day one purchase for sure.

[Thom1234]

right now out of those 35ish songs, i'll buy at least 25:eek:

i will probably just buy a 2800pts and get all the songs i can:D
I have 4200 MSP left over from Christmas.... I'm pretty sure a lot of it's going on RBN songs.

Seriously, there're already over a dozen day one purchases for me.

[cherokeesam]

Just clarifying:

The open beta *isn't* opening the RBN Store up, right? It's only for XBA subscribers?

[ethicalpaul]

That is right. The store will not open today and there is no announced date for its opening.

[cherokeesam]

Thanks, paul. :)

[Thom1234]

That is right. The store will not open today and there is no announced date for its opening.
We can still cling to "before the end of January," though.

[trg007]

List has been updated. Thanks for posting updates, Casto21. You seem to be able to get to them a lot faster than me. :)

No problem, helps being bored at work and the songs being ones I peer reviewed.

Thanks for keeping this list updated.

[recharge138]

Rats..I was kinda hoping that the store would open today. Sometime soon, I hope! *crosses fingers*

Awesome on having another JoCo song on launch day.

[broncosfan06]

Another JoCo song? Frekin sweet.......up to 11 now

[Lady Siara]

That Terrorhorse song scares me.

I can't wait to fail it. :)

[kicking222]

Seriously, people, download Universal Hall Pass's "Dragonfly (Symbion Project Remix)" as quickly as humanly possible. One, the song is beautiful and funky and unique, and two, it as close as I will get to having my favorite band of all-time, Splashdown, in Rock Band. (For the uninitiated, Splashdown was Melissa Kaplan, who is now Universal Hall Pass and has an incredible voice- she's done plenty of movie and video game scores, including the Assassin's Creed games; Kasson Crooker, who is now Symbion Project and was The Duke in Freezepop; and Adam Buhler, who is now in Anarchy Club.) I am listening to the track (on UHP's brilliant EP, Subtle Things) as I type this, and I can't wait to play it in RB.

Viva Splashdown, the best band my ears will ever have the pleasure of hearing.

[Casto21]

39th song:

Chaunce DeLeon and The Fountain of Choof - "Tadpole Search and Rescue" | Rock/Arena | 2009 | TheAuthority | [No Video Available]
Difficulties: Guitar - 3, Bass - 3, Drums - 3, Vocals - 3, Band - 3

[SideshowN]

Amberian Dawn is must buy for me. I love the opera vocals mixed in with metal. I dont know if this has been asked but will the RBN store be updated once a week just like the regular store?

[Xenigma]

I dont know if this has been asked but will the RBN store be updated once a week just like the regular store?

I'm pretty sure that songs are put on the RBN store as they are approved, so DLC could theoretically come any day of the week.

[davidshek]

I'm pretty sure that songs are put on the RBN store as they are approved, so DLC could theoretically come any day of the week.

You are correct.

[ThatAuthoringGroup]

I THINK I read that they can put up to 10 songs a day for the RBN store.

In the interview the head of MTV games(but again he might not know all the specific details), said that when RBN store launches it will have a couple hundred songs at launch.

Don't know if he meant all at once, or over a short period of time.

[SirRobin1tothe3]

I THINK I read that they can put up to 10 songs a day for the RBN store.

I'm pretty sure you're just misinterpreting the quote that states, "Before the Rock Band Network, [Harmonix] could only put out about 10 songs a week."

This meant that on average, there were only 10 songs a week. It was not new information. When it was first said, though, people were flipping out, saying, "OH GOD WE'LL NEVER HAVE FULL ALBUMS AGAIN BECAUSE THEY HAVE MORE THAN 10 SONGS!" and things like that.

That's the only "ten-song" thing I remember reading.

[Casto21]

Hmm, weird but we seem to have lost a song. Fake Shark-Real Zombie! - "Horses in Heaven" is no longer in the beta.

[Catch-22]

Hmm, weird but we seem to have lost a song. Fake Shark-Real Zombie! - "Horses in Heaven" is no longer in the beta.

Yup it definitely disappeared.

[Xenigma]

Trippolette has been approved, it seems. Good song, although I must admit I wish it was still in playtesting.

[Casto21]

Trippolette has been approved, it seems. Good song, although I must admit I wish it was still in playtesting.

Yeah, it went through the review real quick.

39th song (again since we lost one):

Andrew Buch - "Trippolette" | Prog/Prog-Rock | 2005 | Andrew-Buch | Video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DVhAx0N0grw)
Difficulties: Guitar - 6, Bass - 6, Drums - 6, Vocals - NA, Band - 6

That looks insanely fun, adding another to the day one buy list

[Xenigma]

Yeah, it went through the review real quick.

Yes, frighteningly so. I hope this doesn't start a trend, because, in the case of RBN, quicker isn't necessarily better.

[Catch-22]

Looking at the status of some of these peer reviews, I don't think it's a problem. Signs is totally fine but is still in review needing one more passing vote.

[jr174200]

"Signs" as in, "Signs" by Five Man Electrical Band?! That would be awesome.

[trg007]

"Signs" as in, "Signs" by Five Man Electrical Band?! That would be awesome.

Heh, no. It's a song by a band called Giant Target (comprised of members who work at HMX).

[Xenigma]

Can also add Rip'er to the list (no video as it looks like it hasn't been uploaded yet):

Lead the Dead - "Rip'er" | Metal/Thrash | 2009 | RhythmAuthors | [No Video Available]
Difficultes: Guitar - 6, Bass - 4, Drums - 5, Vocals - 1

[Thom1234]

If those charts in the preview video are the ones that got approved, then all I can say is W. T. F?

[dady5000]

If those charts in the preview video are the ones that got approved, then all I can say is W. T. F?

Heh, I want to play it...but I wonder IF PS3 is going to get Trippolette. Since they said "Select Songs".


IMO unless they have more than 20 songs a day getting released, they should try releasing all of them on it, I'm sure the property owners would love to get a bit more money.

[Skode]

Thats a very strong line up for launch and more could certainly be added before it does get a full public launch. Some of the songs are leaving me baffled at tiering but then i get that even with normal RB songs haha.

Gotta ask though is that REALLY a JoCo song for RBN authored by HMX themselves :confused:

[NoThru22]

Yes, it was authored by Harmonix. Why are you surprised? It has been used to promote the RBN.

[wesker-kun]

i do have a question

i've seen some people have charted copyrighted songs such as a Miley Cirus or Lady GaGa... i obviously think those songs are not gonna make it to the RBN store unless HMX gets the licenses... not that i even care about those 2 artist i just mentioned.

my main question is... can you chart copyrighted songs just for your personal use like on the GH games? (with the difference that you can get vocals charts on this, and of course you arent playing MIDIs this time)

sorry if it's a dumb question, but i'd really like to know

[davidshek]

Sure you can, how would anybody stop you? You'll only ever be able to use it in Audition Mode though.

[SHPhr34k]

Here's the video for Lead the Dead - Rip'er :)

[voodoo618]

So, I'm probably going to buy Rx whenever the RBN store comes out and I would like to know who does the screaming in the song.

[davidshek]

So, I'm probably going to buy Rx whenever the RBN store comes out and I would like to know who does the screaming in the song.

Jason, our rhythm guitarist, and Doug, our bassist, both do the "Road I walk" and "Deep waters" lines. But the rest of the growling male lines are all done by Jason. :)

[Yakalot]

Yeah, it went through the review real quick.

lol overtiered bass and drums

no way those are devils, they're maybe low 5's.

[HauntingYourKids]

lol overtiered bass and drums

no way those are devils, they're maybe low 5's.

It's probably a marketing ploy. Some people go, "DEBUL STAWS?!? I WAN' DEBUL STAWS!!!" Seriously, I've seen people with only "They're Red Hot" and nothing else from BSSM. People are thatnuts. Those guys are gonna make him rich. Screw nostalgia, "IT R HAWD!!!"

[Casto21]

Also keep in mind that the Trippolette video is from december and is not the final product which was used to determine the tiers.

[Thom1234]

Also keep in mind that the Trippolette video is from december and is not the final product which was used to determine the tiers.
So the charts will be different? As I have no idea how that drum chart would be approved as a Devil Tier chart.

I see how the bass would be Devil Tier, as it's basically a strumfest from hell.

Also, Rip'er looks awesome on Guitar and Drums. Also, that song has left hand lead parts and blast beats on drums. No way is that tier 5.

[mjlambert1]

As long as PS3 gets "The Future Soon", "Even Rats", and "Business Time" - I'll be a freakin' junkie for RBN.

[daretocompare]

Rhythm Authors have announced on their site the Lead the Dead's "Rip'er" has been approved! This is tremendous news, sorry but I'm psyched.

[jmemmerson]

Hey, wasn't Creepy Doll on the list? Where did it disappear to?

[trg007]

Hey, wasn't Creepy Doll on the list? Where did it disappear to?

Whoops, I must have accidentally messed something up when I edited the post. Will fix.

EDIT - Yeah, I had "Sleep On" twice and had accidentally deleted "Creepy Doll".

[k-mac]

Hey, wasn't Creepy Doll on the list? Where did it disappear to?

Creepy Doll is on the Creators site list of approved songs, so I don't know why it's not on this list, but don't worry, it will be available to DL day 1.

[Oscar-Rio]

I've seen people with only "They're Red Hot" and nothing else from BSSM.

That's the only song I got from that album, and not because of difficulty, but because it's the only interesting song to be found on the album.

[SHPhr34k]

Another awesome song just came up. London Ontario Metal represent! :D

Heaven Ablaze - "Parhelia" | Metal/Death | 2009 | Rhythm Authors | Video (http://www.rhythmauthors.com/song_preview.php?id=13)

[dman2309]

Footloose and Fancy Free looks so amazing. I cannot wait to pick that up. Admittedly, I'm not that much of a jazz fan but I like this song. The charts just seal the deal. Especially the "vocals" lol.

[broncosfan06]

Footloose and Fancy Free is AMAZING .......JAZZ in ROCK BAND how kick ass is that!!!!! brings my day one buys up to 13

[Thom1234]

I'm so glad I didn't spend the 4200 MSP I got for Christmas... seriously; there's now over 20 songs approved that I will get when the RBN store opens.

That guitar solo is ludicrous. Drums look really tough as well.

[mjlambert1]

Saw video. Bruford track is now a must-buy for me!

[Sayburr]

Listen Marbles incredible Hogarth stuff
Yeah, I pre-ordered it and got the special hard back book release and my name in the booklet... still thought it was week lyrically. IMHO Season’s End was the best and now every song just sounds the same because of his lack of ability to make changes in melody. The music is great, the lyrical melody is stagnant. But, that is just how I feel about it and more than likely that is a feeling not shared by anyone but myself. Afraid of Sunlight was a great album, but that was the album I started noticing how the melodies from it sounded just like the ones from the previous album and those sounded like the ones before it…

…Anyway, I will be downloading the Marillion song to support the band just because I had just a long association with them… 25 years or so, I will never forget walking into the music store, flipping through the albums (that is the large vinyl format) and seeing that incredible album cover on Script for a Jester’s Tear. Took it home, turned it one and was blown away. My love affair ended in ’97 with This Strange Engine even through I pre-ordered every album through Marbles or was it Anarakphobia? Which ever came out last because I have both of them in the special large format.
