Wow, this is a great announcement. Gonna be buying all but "The Weight", which I may end up getting later depending on how the live version sounds. The studio version just didn't catch me like I hoped it would. I'll check it out again on Tuesday.

Getting "Closer" and "I Melt With You" in the same week is just blowing my mind, two of my most wanted songs for the game. I know that the f-bombs will be censored of course, but that makes no difference to me. Can't wait to sing both of those.

"Jessica" will be a ton of fun to play on guitar, I remember enjoying that one in GH2. Glad to see it show up in RB.

I feel obligated to buy any and all DragonForce due to TTFAF, but this one sounds like it'll be much less insane, which makes me happy. I feel like that'll make it more enjoyable to play, even though I do like playing TTFAF and OGAP. It'll be interesting actually being able to hit notes on a song by them.

"Cold" was a song I never expected to see show up, let alone in the post-RB3 era. Cool song, I always liked it back when it came out, I'll enjoy playing that too. I would've liked to see some more love for it, but I get why it isn't happening.

As I said, awesome week. Great way to celebrate RB's birthday! I hope this is a sign of some more bigger song amounts coming, I love weeks like this.

Wow. Finally a good week. I can't believe how long it's been. Finally, classic rock, which we've had none of all year, outside of Chicago. Finally, metal. Dragonforce and Allman Brothers Band look awesome. Rest, not so much, but two out of six is pretty good.

Yeah, this song should have ended at least 2 minutes ago, and I'm at the 4 minute mark.

It's length is so unnecessary. It's not great to start with, so when you're stretching that, it feels so... tacky.

It's just that the 3/4 of the song feel completely unnecessary. They drag on without adding anything

Just so you know I have no problem with long songs, as long as their length can be justified. Jessica is a great example of how NOT to do it

@DoofiestDoofz The song stretches on for far too long, and desperately needs to be condensed to a more concise length.

@DoofiestDoofz The guitar solo was nothing at all special, especially considering how the juxtaposition did not work in its favor.

In other words, the definition of a 5/10. Mediocre.

Was the 666-1 hint ever explained? The 6's are obvious, but the -1, and the fire?

I'm thinking flames were a red herring, and it was 6 artists from 6 decades for the 5th anniversary of Rock Band. 665

After that happened to me a few times, I got in the habit of copying my entire post to the clipboard just in case it bombs out, I can re-post it easily. Yes, SO annoying.

Fire/flames for Dragonforce, maybe? Ehh, it's as good as anything.

666 - 1 = 665, which meant 6 singles, 6 decades, 5 year RB anniversary.
