3/18 DLC Speculation?!?!?

[TimmyWeiss]

So, we all had a nice little roller coaster ride this past week, and now it is only a couple days til the next announcement.

The week was made interesting with the inclusion of the SXSW (sp) pack, which proves that the good folks at Harmonix can strewn together some music in a condensed amount of time (thinking maybe a month to put at least two or three of those tracks together).

There was also the discovery by the folks at Scorehero of a fourth track..."Misery Business"...so, basically, this next announcement could be anything.

I personally believe it will be something from the previously cracked list of songs...I think it will be a 6 pack of good ole rock sauce:

"The Thrash Pack"

&

Bad Company- "Shooting Star"
The Police- "Message in a Bottle"
Lynyrd Skynyrd- "Simple Man"

Now on to your thoughts...ready...set...go...

[Punkrockdrummer]

Sweet, misery business is another cool Paramore song.

[Julio_Strikes_Back]

I hope the Trash pack isn't released by itself since that would piss alot of people off. And now there probably isn't a point in speculating since this week's DLC was WAY out of left field.

[BhindBluEyes430]

Wow already Im hoping for the pack that was original annonced for this week. Maby the metal pack. i really dont like metal but Supenaut looks like so much fun.

and again I am Always hoping for Who's Next or any Who

Excuse me?

Also, I know not everyone here may have had it, but Message in a Bottle was already in GH2. Wouldn't you rather see new songs than something you might have paid for already?

[TimmyWeiss]

I pray, also, that it is "Who's Next", but I fear that the corporate heads (not the developers) might be saving that one as a weapon against one of the Guitar Hero expansions coming this spring/summer.

I think they threw the curve ball this week, and that next week they are gonna follow through with a tried and true fastball of previously announced songs.

[rotciv50]

personally, I cant wait to play Supernaut and Simple Man..

[Elegy]

Excuse me?

Also, I know not everyone here may have had it, but Message in a Bottle was already in GH2. Wouldn't you rather see new songs than something you might have paid for already?

yes. but it would also have bass, drums, and singing, which would be awesome. All we need is to have a feature that forces our bands to argue amongst each other, in order to pass the song

[noobert]

as long as its not just the thrash pack,im good

[shadebug]

Excuse me?

Also, I know not everyone here may have had it, but Message in a Bottle was already in GH2. Wouldn't you rather see new songs than something you might have paid for already?

but this is the masters, which means it includes the ridiculously cool drums (which were left out of the gh2 cover) and which I've been pining for

[defmonkey]

Excuse me?

Fact.

I would love to have, Sweet Child 'O Mine, Hangar 18, Freebird, Jessica, Crazy on You, Carry on Wayward Son, Less Talk More Rokk, The Trooper, Killing in the Name, Madhouse, Trippin' on a Hole in a Paper Heart, Rock and Roll Hoochie Koo.

Even when I bought the game twice over.

I agree. It's not paying for it twice, either. You bought the guitar (and bass if you really count co'op) tracks, not the entire band track with GH2. I would definitely love to see more GH2 songs.

[RockBandRocker]

Who cares about next weeks DLC :confused: I mean, after this weeks, it could be anything. I am just going to wait until Friday's announcement, then I'll give an opinion.

However, I would love to see songs from the GH series make it to RockBand. Harmonix should buy the series back and take control over it again. We at least wouldn't get GH: Aerosmith (a rumored RockBand copycat) :p With all the money Harmonix is making off of DLC, it could happen :)

[Creation88]

if it's not Tool, Guns N Roses, Rage Against the Machine, System of a Down, or The Mars Volta . . . i hope it's Simple Man.

[SwiftravenCD]

Did any of the GH's have Mother by Danzig? It has both a cool guitar solo as well as drums.

I never played any of the GH's so I dont know what they may or may not have had.

I want more 80's hairbands as well. Since I am in my 30s and most of my friends are as well, we want to play songs we know and that was our decade :)

Def Lep, more Bon Jovi, G&R, etc. Pearl Jam would be good as well (especially Ten)

[Kevhouse]

I'm still waiting for Fuel....me and my bandmates have been waiting patiently...

[mkkiller]

I see no fourth track link plz

[shadebug]

gh2 had mother by danzig

[Zeleii]

I KNOW WHAT WERE GETTING. AN ACTIVISION GH3 PACK INCREDIBLY CRAPPY COVERS, such as The Seeker, Cities on Flame With Rock n Roll, and Rock n Roll All Night

[bood-boy]

Excuse me?

Also, I know not everyone here may have had it, but Message in a Bottle was already in GH2. Wouldn't you rather see new songs than something you might have paid for already?





rockband is not guitar hero... you can sing and play drums in rockband. not everyone plays rockband for the guitar. the police songs are probbly the best songs in the game to sing, so keep the police coming please.

[revczar]

i agree with defmonkey
but i want every song rereleased from the HMX Guiter Heroes and as many of
the GHIII songs as they can release

when HMX puts in Matchbook Romance "Monsters"
im never playing GHIII again

[RockBandRocker]

rockband is not guitar hero... you can sing and play drums in rockband. not everyone plays rockband for the guitar. the police songs are probbly the best songs in the game to sing, so keep the police coming please.

Thank You!! At least somebody agrees with me that the older DLC songs are better. I think the game needs more from The Police, and I am disappointed because rumors about this weeks DLC included "Message In A Bottle".

[bumbousdude25]

To all who hope the Thrash pack isn't alone when it comes out...

If it is released by itself, let's hope the songs are 80 credits each... :rolleyes:

Seriously, though, those are 80 credit songs. They're good, and I'll get the whole pack, but they're not the kind of songs that everyone knows and would pay more than a buck for, you know?

[duckbutt86]

I hope the Trash pack isn't released by itself since that would piss alot of people off.

Actually that's the only rumored released that I've been waiting for and I'm a little disappointed it wasn't released yet. I'm not a fan of any of the bands in the pack, but with the lack of metal songs that exist outside the radio world is pretty slim if you remove the old school Metallica pack. I'd much rather play the At The Gates song than wannabe 80's Metalers Blakc Tide or Serj.

[toefer2]

The Eclectic Taste Pack

Hanson - Mmmbop
Good Charlotte - Boys and Girls
Limp Bizkit - Rollin'**

**Might be replaced by one of Wes Borland's solo hits

[chunkypony]

Link??? plz??

[sillystou]

I don't think the announcement will be on Friday though. And if it is, then it will be 2 announcements in ONE week :/

[sidman69]

i hope it's the pack with fuel from metallica on it. Not really interested in thrash pack, also good to hear that misery business was found.

[Jimmik]

I predict.......Who's Next! :D

[PacoL250]

You can't deny the coolness of Danzig :p:D

http://blogs.sfweekly.com/shookdown/cyberneticghost04.jpg

Honestly, I speculate that we'll get what OXM had predicted for 3/11.

Which will be fine by me :)

[TimmyWeiss]

Here is the Scorehero link:

http://rockband.scorehero.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=4829&start=375


You may have to page down to read about the discovery.

I am still betting that they release 'Still Alive' as a free track sometime during a random weekday as a thank you, but I have been wrong...oh soooo wrong...before.

Now on to your thoughts...ready...set...go...

The way DLC has been lately I'm predict the following and it'll be called....
The Least Wanted Pack
1. Wham - Faith
2. Culture Club - Church of the Poison Mind
3. Judas Priest - Last Rose of Summer

Enjoy lol

[Sychosymatic]

Chris Cornell Pack:
Cochise
Like a Stone
Spoonman
Rusty Cage

Any of those four would be awesome for me. And to the person above me, "Faith" is by George Michael, not Wham.

[joeincolorado]

While I know it won't happen...Foo Fighters pack anyone?

Breakout
My Hero
Monkey Wrench
This is a Call
I'll Stick Around

Any of those is great. Thank you.

[WhiffleBallTony]

I'm thinking maybe Black Tide's new album. It comes out next Tuesday, and the fact that Shockwave came out today could be a hint at that.

[vedis]

my bets are on:

ultimate showdown by lemon demon
trogdor by strongbad
clint eastwood by the gorrilaz


no really, i just wanted to name a few random songs lol

lets just wait til friday, we need to stop beating our heads over what may or may not come out

[Gryffindor]

Since the songs released this week are a tie in with a MS sponsored event, I'd be looking to see what else MS is going to be sponsoring in the near future.

[Mycool]

I am dying to get my hands on the Rolling Stones songs that were speculated about through the cracked file. "Honky Tonk Woman" would be amazing, although I don't remember if that was one of the songs mentioned. Man, just thinking about it has started the song playing in my head...

...I met a gin soaked bar room queen in Memphis...she tried to take me upstairs for a ride...

[PacoL250]

I'm thinking maybe Black Tide's new album. It comes out next Tuesday, and the fact that Shockwave came out today could be a hint at that.

Unless you know something we don't, I'm pretty sure that HMX said the first album for Rock Band would be The Who's Who's Next.

Of course if you're not talking about DLC, then feel free to ignore my reply...I need to get some sleep.:p

Oh, I know much more than you, much more than you can even fathom.

[PacoL250]

Oh, I know much more than you, much more than you can even fathom.

For the time being I'll concede that point. I may respond when I'm more awake ;) :p

In all honesty, if the DLC was a Black Tide album, at least it would be cheaper than expected seeing as how this week's DLC was at $0.99.

[Rock_Starman]

I speculate there will be no 3/18 DLC.
It'll come on 3/17. Flogging Molly,The Pogues and Thin Lizzy.

[Brent212]

I would definitely love to see more GH2 songs.

I would love to see all the songs from all of the GH games. Unlike Rock Band, almost every song in the Guitar Hero games is an awesome pick. IMO, of course.

[dlowell]

I would love to see all the songs from all of the GH games. Unlike Rock Band, almost every song in the Guitar Hero games is an awesome pick. IMO, of course.

Rock Band has very original songs, there not all mainstream songs you've heard before. I like finding out music i've never heard before, which happens alot with Rock Band, i love it!

[an1m051ty]

Its the Thrash pack, 99% definite. I checked out the band's record label Earache... http://www.earache.com/

Scroll down a bit and look at the advertisement. They announce Evile's song for download on March 18th.

Love it or hate it, it will finally be released and WE CAN ALL MOVE ON.

Still, its possible like someone else said that they'd release a few more songs with it. At any rate, I just beat GG&HT on expert last week and every other song I have - I'm up for some new challenges!:D

[Dustincopter]

Country Pack ftw

[Muneeb]

Rhcp Pack!!=]

[Pootytang907]

RHCP would be very nice but it'll prolly be the damned thrash pack. Whoever mentioned the Foo Fighters pack should explode for not adding Everlong in there.

[Daytman]

I speculate there will be no 3/18 DLC.
It'll come on 3/17. Flogging Molly,The Pogues and Thin Lizzy.
They can't choose the day.

[Al_Dags]

It doesn’t matter Harmonix will release what they want when they want. They have made that very clear in the 2008 downloads

[tekturbo]

Please be the Rolling Stones songs that leaked. I need those before my bday on the 22nd as there will probably be much RB playing at my party! Haha

[Onslaught_fei]

Evile's website has already stated that their song has been confirmed for 3/18. Looks like its definately going to be the thrash pack. Can. Not. Wait. Im itching with anticipation to melt some face.

[jaydee6385]

simple man. yay

[Sarge51]

If there's more than one pack, I won't care what they release...

[tekturbo]

Yeah, I hope we get the Thrash pack for the metal heads and another pack for everyone else next week. That would be nice.

[jr174200]

While the title of this thread is quite misleading, I agree with others that two-packs would be great. That said, I don't expect it to happen. I expect to get the thrash pack. I also expect to continue playing my Dead tracks for another week, still stuck at 98 songs. I'm ok with all of this, as I wait for the leaked stuff I want, specifically Nevermind, and hope that a curveball is thrown my way at some point.

[Xerosnake90]

Metal Pack FTW! If not, than Thrash pack!

[DreAdAwaKeNinG]

I would say, if they go by what was posted originally for March... the Thrash Pack, and then the other three songs... Simple Man, Message in a Bottle, and whatever the other one was.

[Pinstrype24]

score hero finding misery business in the song names is interesting...i think i'd prefer that over crush...more fast paced and more fun on drums...i wonder if they'll release it and/or when

i hope there is other stuff besides the thrash...i was on about a month long drought till this pack...i hope another one doesnt start up

not saying the past releases werent good..just not my kinda songs

[forcingfate]

I hope by a Metal pack people aren't saying Slayer and Pantera and that garbage...That stuff is hard rock nowadays..



And it definitely sucks.

[Onslaught_fei]

Obvious troll is obvious.

[DreAdAwaKeNinG]

I'm sorry, but I'm not the biggest fan of Slayer or Pantera, but to call their music garbage is ignorant.

Oh, and just to clarify, louder and harder to understand screaming and pig squealing does not equal metal. It equals "hard to listen to without my ears bleeding" crap.

[Riastlin]

Personally, I doubt that they will release both a Thrash Pack and another pack. Frankly, it doesn't make a whole lot of sense for them to do so. They want to keep releasing dlc every week, and breaking those packs up into two weeks makes it that much easier to do so. If they for some reason run into a problem down the road with a pack, then they've bought themselves sometime if they have an extra pack ready. I think the GD pack was a little different because a) rumors are they are planning 18 dead tracks, and its much easier to do those in 3 packs than 6 and b) they were using it as a test for pricing of an album pack.

As for full albums, my prediction is that the first album released will be Nevermind. I've heard rumors that suggest that Who's Next won't be released for a while and that the hold up has nothing to do with HMX.

Black Tide album? Seriously? That would not make any sense at all. For starters, they don't have near a big enough following (or history) to justify a full album release.

At any rate, I have seen a leak as to the 4/1/08 DLC:

Tribute
Still Alive
Smells Like Nirvanna

Edit: Corrected Song title

[Sully]

Speculation is completely pointless now that HMX has shown that they have stuff ready to go that wasn't on the leaked list. Had this week contained more songs on that list, then I'd assume we'd see the rest of the list before seeing anything unexpected. You can pretty much pick any three songs that you can think of and they have as reasonable of a chance to be the DLC as any three other songs.

So, in that case, I'm VERY OPTIMISTICALLY (and completely unrealistically) thinking:
Dinosaur Jr. Pack-
Almost Ready
Feel The Pain
We're Not Alone (http://downloads.pitchforkmedia.com/Dinosaur%20Jr%20-%20Were%20Not%20Alone.mp3) (track 8 on Beyond, absolutely ZERO chance to ever be DLC but an amazing song)

[tidu]

At any rate, I have seen a leak as to the 4/1/08 DLC:

Tribute
Still Alive
Smells Like Teen Spirit

They wouldn't release Smells Like Teen Spirit without releasing the album. But Tribute would make my day. No, my year.

[Shayde21]

Sweet, misery business is another cool Paramore song.

Now that's an oxymoron.

[keeper_1313]

I will honestly say that I was not a huge fan of this weeks DLC and after the delay friday and all day monday we thought something big was coming. this weeks DLC was like waking up Christmas morning and finding out the Grinch stole all your gifts. I still got it as it is 3 more songs to play!!!! I have heard them before and thought well maybe it is not for me. However once you play them in rockband they seemed much better and as with all DLC it has opened my mind to more types of music. Lets hope the announcement tomorrow is killer!!!

[RyanAbrams77]

OMGZ...WE NEED MORE NOIZE! FUZZY DISTORTION WITH GROWLING/SCREAMING VOCALZ! LOLz! SUPER FASTE DRUMZ THAT CAN'T BE PLAYD WITHOUT DOUBLE BASS! ROFL

EVERYTHING ELSE IS POP!

[Riastlin]

They wouldn't release Smells Like Teen Spirit without releasing the album. But Tribute would make my day. No, my year.

Bah, this is what I get for typing in a hurry, I meant Smells Like Nirvanna. :p

[mkkiller]

Where did you see this at?????

[Riastlin]

Where did you see this at?????

It was meant as a joke, but would seem to be the perfect list for 4/1/08.

[Ironman2909]

I think a good dlc package could also be The Killers!!!

with:

Jenny
Smile Like You Mean It
Read My Mind
On Top
Mr. Brightside
Somebody Told Me
I've Got Soul But I'm Not A Soldier

That would be awesome!!!! :D

[Purist]

I'm so glad they disproved the leaked list. Leaks just ruin the fun of anticipation. I can't believe another announcement is coming in just two days.

I too would love Sweet Child of Mine (and have requested it via the official link as well). But who can really say, after the last announcement, what could possibly show up.

[FultonPub]

I think a good dlc package could also be The Killers!!!

I've Got Soul But I'm Not A Soldier
That would be awesome!!!! :D

Uh....The song is actually called All These Things That I've Done. Great tune though. :)

[hmxhenry]

Yeah, so this thread has been full of some great suggestions but it's really all just unfounded speculation. And then it kind of morphed into a "what I'd really like to see as DLC" type of thread and that's more of an Ultimate Set List type of deal. Feel free to discuss songs and bands that have actually come out or have officially been announced (or keep wish lists in the USL forum). Thanks!
