A few songs once in a while are fine, but if focusing primarily on modern pop music is the only way to save Rock Band, maybe it's time to let it die, and this is coming from somebody who actually...

Why all covers?

I would.

"Call Me Maybe" sold four times more than typical DLC, and "We Are Young" seems to be doing pretty damn well, especially for a song that a lot of people got months ago through Blitz.

Maybe you're...

I never understood why Helter Skelter in the main Rock Band series is so blasphemous, but there's nothing wrong having a mohawked behemoth singing John Lennon's "Imagine" in a dingy rock club. But I...

Have they? Rock Band 2 was released 10 months after the first. Rock Band 4 hasn't started development, so they ever make it, it won't come out until 2014 at the earliest. 4 years is a lot of time to...

From now on they're going to alternate between Blitz weeks and weeks of all new songs. Once they've released all the Blitz songs in March... well, in the past hmxhenry has been quick to point out...

There's a number of reasons for the Rock Band 1 and early DLC covers. Harmonix have to get the original master recordings to separate the instruments, and sometimes the masters (especially for older...

I still don't get why people want it for Rock Band, and there's already a thread for it in the Ultimate Setlist forum where it belongs.

The Facebook page has always been full of people complaining, and the people who "want Blitz to end and return to RB3" don't know what they're talking about. The DLC releases of the Blitz songs...

"Call Me Maybe" and what else? Dance Central 3 and its DLC have only 5 songs that are also in Rock Band, and "Paparazzi" was released for Rock Band nearly two years ago. Of the 198 songs in the whole...

Seeing how it took Harmonix over 5 years to release about 2100 songs, I highly doubt they've licensed and paid for thousands of songs that they're just sitting on as DLC slows down.

Make it "One Week" then. Whatever song everybody already has.

Foo Fighters - "These Days"
Queen - "Death on Two Legs (Dedicated to…) O
Red Hot Chili Peppers - "Give It Away" O X
Soundgarden - "Spoonman" X

If the cost of authoring a song was negligible, songs would only cost a dollar and would already include pro guitar. If the only two parts they have to author are the least popular ones by far, and...

How do you know that? The Rock Band World page only shows the top 5 scores.

A lot of people like "Black Hole Sun" on drums or guitar or bass, and a lot of songs aren't fun to play on anything. What's the point in saying a song like that is the worst thing in the entire Rock...

Of course the game with nothing but guitar is going to interest guitarists more than the game with drums, vocals, and keys.

For what it's worth, I was against it at first, but now I'm kind of neutral. I'm at least in favour of it for the duration of the tournaments.

I don't see why Harmonix would return to Guitar Hero. They moved on to Rock Band years ago, and have built way too much to leave it all behind for another plastic instrument game.
