RB: Monkeys
RB: Tool
RB: Steve Miller Band
RB: Def Leppard
RB: Korn
RB: Pink Floyd
RB: Linkin Park
RB: Sound Garden
RB: Kiss
RB: The Mother Hips
RB: Hall & Oats
RB: REO Speedwagon

:cool:

[HellishFiend]

Off that list, RB: Linkin Park and RB: Journey would be instant buys for me. RB: Metallica would be awesome though, even though it will never happen. :( Or how about RB: Tears for Fears? :eek:

[Cpt. Overkill]

RB : Muse.

[Ventura]

I don't really want to see another standalone retail product based on a particular band. It goes against everything they've been doing the past year with DLC and having so many artists to choose from in the one game. As if most people here aren't just exporting the AC/DC collection onto their hard drives to play them in RB1/RB2 anyway.

If they both keep up the way they're going we'll have either a Rock Band or Guitar Hero game for every reaonsably well known band on the planet, and I don't know about you, but that's not exactly what I had in mind.

True, but who doesnt want to see a massive pack of songs for their favorite band?

[CrazedGeek]

Phase for the PSP.

Oh, fine... Rock Band: Our Live Album Is Better Than Your Live Album Track Pack

[TKS]

Rock band : Bowling for soup

i love BFS so much i would pay the normal price of a 360 game for that .

[Ventura]

True, but who doesnt want to see a massive pack of songs for their favorite band?

I would suspect the majority prefer songs from a variety of artists.

All these games based on individual bands is just compromising the experience for the sake of money. Why just release DLC for bigger bands like AC/DC, Metallica or Aerosmith when you can spit out a disk and milk it for all it's worth?

There was nothing wrong with setting Rock Band as the platform and then releasing a band's music as DLC. It integrated just nicely into the platform and became playable alongside all your other favourite stuff. It was akin to buying what you like the most from any number of different artists and then just chucking it all on your ipod. It worked.

Unfortunately, they're starting to lose their way.

Your kidding, right?

Im pretty sure most people here, if given the chance, would jump on a giant pack from they're favorite band.

[HellishFiend]

I disagree. Harmonix is doing what they have to do to get the bands we want. Theyre doing things the way you want for the most part, but occassionally they just have to do things differently to get certain bands/music that they/we want.

[litaljohn]

rock band Bon Jovi edition.... granted the drummer might as well take a nap and grab easy achievements, but come one, its friggen Bon Jovi!

[Phobophobia]

Iron Maiden.

Theres soooo much good content to make a 2 disc game from!

[wcwwolf]

(As an M-rated)
RB: GNR

Rest assured, they're counting on it mate. Greed is good, so it would seem. I just hate how the quality of the experience takes a dive.

That's the part that's all about money, as I was referring to. Everyone wants a bite.

RB: Linkin Park
RB: Pink Floyd

RB: The Police

The Chinese just declared Democracy... well at least Axel Rose thinks so.

“Chinese Democracy” Release Date, Best Buy Exclusive. 11/26/08,

I want my free Dr. Pepper damnit.:cool:

[jayou521]

RB: Pink Floyd is the only one on that list that deserves their own game~

[quinaking]

Red Hot Chili Peppers Live At Slane Rock Band Expansion where the only venue is The Manor in Dublin. Includes the most epic version of Can't Stop, the most epic song they've made.

[jeronemitchell]

Of the bands listed, wouldn't Pink Floyd and KISS be the only ones big enough to make that sort of demand of Harmonix?

[orionsriver]

Queen Live at Wembley Stadium Rock Band Track Pack

Prince Live at Tokyo Dome Rock Band Track Pack

[Sargehalo51]

Albums as DLC, I want more. But I don't want stand alone products.

[Fleshwound]

I want Queen first. Then Def Leppard and Pink Floyd would be great. How about some Doors or Ozzy or Van Halen.

[gocryemokid]

The day hall and oates gets their own video game is the day I use my xbox 360 as a projectile weapon.

on topic: Rush Band.

[Xevious]

I don't need a RB CD collection, that is why consoles come with hard drives and external storage. You have the goose laying golden eggs every week with DLC, why would you want to screw that up?

[Fizzeler]

My vote is for RB: Pink Floyd assuming they put in all the visuals from all of their songs like they do in concerts

Pink Floyd deserves a game and this would be a perfect one

[toMsons1987]

Absolutely none, hell I wont be touching Beatles if it's not goin' to be able to be played in the RB franchise. They made a stupid deal if this is in fact true. They lost a lot of customers who buy things because HMX lets them play it in their main game. Plus it makes you think, what other artists are they going to sign to a game and leave us screwed. Sorry, this is a total Activision move, no one cares about GH:Metallica or GH:Areosmith. Smart thing would have been to make a better game that is just like the AC/DC game, sure don't brand it RBand. But give us an option, cause otherwise, don't care about any of these one bit.

[ghostofjarjar]

I want an orchestra edition. Plastic violins and harps and timpanis make sense!

[Nudgenudge]

Iron Maiden.
Theres soooo much good content to make a 2 disc game from!

I'd buy "Hallowed Be Thy Name" in any media type whatsoever, at any price.

[Fatal_T]

RB: KISS

No question. Will pay big $$$ for it. Gene Simmons already has a chunk of my earnings to date, why not give him more?

[Jglaubman]

Beatles >>>>> Aerosmith and Metallica

[o1skinneej]

I love the Beatles and am dying to play some of their songs, but I really don't think I'll be that interested if they aren't playable in RB.

[Destnaru]

Christian Rock.
So I don't have to hear people complaining about it anymore.
That would work for me.

[G_tarRoCK3R]

I'm offended you forgot RB: Boston :mad::mad:

I'd buy that in a second.

[Esaccase]

RB: Slayer

Although I disagree with what you say, I shall defend your right to say it. Now, I don't see how HMX is going to lose THAT many customers, in fact, i could see them gaining more customers because the Beatles are so popular. Also, add in that there may be another new instrument or two and people will buy it.

Think of it like this: how many people on this forum have more than 2 guitars just because a new one has come out? People talk about it all the time. You don't think that if they do come out with a keyboard, people wouldn't be excited for that? I think they would, maybe just because its a keyboard and its something different.

Its kind of absurd for people to think that HMX should ALWAYS put out every music game they back compatible to rock band or rock band 2 - because in the end, HMX is a business and the only way you can generate profit is to have more than one product out there.

I think this game will be a HUGE hit, especially with an older crowd (seems like it may be their target) and to not buy the game based solely on the means of no exporting is stupid.

Also, this game will be better than GH:A or GH:M because they are adding new instruments (possibly) and it's a more popular band.

[Pezell04x]

RB: Kid Rock
RB: Monkeys
RB: Tool
RB: Steve Miller Band
RB: Def Leppard
RB: Korn
RB: Pink Floyd
RB: Linkin Park
RB: Sound Garden
RB: Kiss
RB: The Mother Hips
RB: Hall & Oats
RB: REO Speedwagon
RB: Journey
RB: Poison

:cool:

Other than Pink Floyd, I don't think any of these bands even deserve to have a stand a lone game. Linkin Park? Korn? Kid Rock?

Really?

[Mycool]

RB: KISS

When I saw the cannons going off (triggered by drum hits) at the end of AC/DC's "For Those About to Rock" it was so awesome, and my friends & I immediately started discussing how incredible it would be to have a full RB KISS game featuring all their classic songs complete with their trademarked over the top all-out pyro filled stage show....the world would be a more fun place if this ever happens.

[Chocobo115]

Orchesta, the 10 player game experience with music from the finest composers, rumors are that Mozart might allow some of his music on it...

[Vedderman]

I'd take RB:Kiss, RB:Pink Floyd or RB:Poison off that last but the best one would be...

RB:Pearl Jam

[PCTraitor]

None. I am disappointed that it's not an addition to Rock Band. If I have to buy a disc and then import it like ACDC fine, I'm ok with that. But Rock Band is my main game and if it's not adding to that then I may not buy it.

[BlueLogic]

The only one I'd buy is Rock Band: Queen.

[tyche7]

None- I think DLC is better than a standalone that only gives you a handful more songs

[Bertone]

Rock Band: Hall and Oates.

Money well spent. Make it happen Harmonix.

[stevo796]

RB: The Clash

[My name is Fez]

The only one I'd buy is Rock Band: Queen.

QFT. None of the artists save for Pink Floyd mentioned by OP have the wealth of hits or the influence to merit a standalone game.

Hell, I just want a Tool six pack and I'll be happy XD But people demanding full albums or games amaze me.

[onidragon]

RB: Nirvana
RB: Weezer
RB: Beatles
RB: KISS
RB: Ramones

RB: Hall & Oats
RB: REO Speedwagon
RB: Journey
RB: Poison

:cool:

I'm hoping for no more stand-alone games really. I understand why they did it for AC/DC (they had no choice), and The Beatles probably deserve it. However, all these standalone games are setting up a bad precedent. Now every band with an ego is going to demand their own game or they won't give their masters up. As long as there's always an export option it's not as bad, but pricing is always an issue for these things. I prefer discounted DLC packs.

[Newsman]

Unfortunately, they're starting to lose their way.

I definitely disagree with this one. AC/DC is the only project Rock Band related (Beatles technically aren't related to RB) to do a disc. The only real reason for it is that AC/DC doesnt believe in single song releases. So the only way that HMX could get them is to do something that would put all the songs up at once, without enabling people to pick and choose.

So while yeah, this is different its only different because its the only way

[Zalman]

Of that list, RB: Linkin Park. But my biggest wish's RB: Guns N Roses

[Bojangle]

Rock Band: Coheed And Cambria and Rock Band: The Cure

[klorjne]

Radiohead, The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Primus

[Firehouse66]

Rock Band - KISS
Rock Band - Rick Springfield
Rock Band - Staind
Rock Band - Journey
Rock Band - Def Leppard

[HellishFiend]

I'm offended you forgot RB: Boston :mad::mad:

I'd buy that in a second.

Serious question... I thought we already had most of Boston's good music? Is there enough good Boston music left to justify RB: Boston or even another big Boston pack? I was under the impression people didnt have too high an opinion of Boston's later work (I havent listened to most of it).

[deevineh8tred]

In Flames, Opeth, or Dark Tranquillity. All three have been very influential to metal.

in flames and dark tranquillity with the whole gothenburg sound.

opeth being progressive death metal gods

[wickedforce]

full cd's I would like to see:
RB: Def Leppard - vault greatest hits
RB: Korn - greatest hits
RB: Pink Floyd - Echoes
RB: Pink Floyd - The Wall

[John_S]

RB: Iron Maiden

half those don't even deserve to be there. Only onces are Pink Floyd, Queen, GnR, and a few others, but only slightly.

Some of it (Kid Rock, Korn) is a f***ing joke.

They aren't classic, and never will be.

[Chocobo115]

RB Deep Purple
