Discussion Thread: DLC Week of 1/29 - Aerosmith 6 Pack! Plus 2 Pro Guitar Upgrades!

[dudemann14]

Wow, I honestly kinda stopped expecting Aerosmith to show up at this point... I'm very excited for this pack, haven't been this excited for a release in a while. Instant full pack buy even without listening to the two new songs, very good song selection from the oldies. Hoping the Dream On live version is good, that's my favorite song in the pack. Thanks HMX, I'm very much looking forward to playing a big RB pack all day for the first time in a long while. I guess this explains the randomness that was the Train Kept A Rollin' community goal this week.

I bought the upgrade for I've Done Everything For You a week after it came out and was ranked 11th on pro bass on my sightread. I only just made the jump up to hard.

There's no way they sell well.

But saying "No one buys pro" is wrong still.. people buy it.. just not enough people.

jesus christ what the hell am i reading

"Call Me Maybe" was the #2 song of last year and is still in the top 40, Aerosmith are one of the top-selling rock and roll bands of all time, Andrew WK has only two songs that charted only in the UK, "Gangnam Style" wouldn't work in Rock Band, and reading the last page or so has made my brain hurt.

She didn't obviously checked the poll at the top of the page, where 1/3rd of the voters will be getting the upgrades.
My guess is upgrades sell in the range of few thousands, which is not great considering the audience but far from "no one".


Henry, can you at least find out what's the length of Dream On we're getting?

I feel like Tom Hanks in "Castaway" when he looked up and saw the container ship passing by...I've waited months...loh many years now, for something I can sink my dentures into. God bless Harmonix! God bless the USA! ROCKBAND LIVES!!! There's a party next week at hippy Scott's house! Free love and dirt weed for all!

Over-looked and had me LMAO.

No, they know of Steven Tyler as the guy from American Idol. I imagine many people haven't connected him to Aerosmith despite possibly knowing a couple songs. I never knew Randy Jackson was once part of Journey until my mom had told me.

edit: think of it this way. I am 17 and have known of Aerosmith for quite a few years. I had never even heard of Andrew WK until the RB song.

This exactly this, except im 21 and have heard hundreds of bands (even before Rock Band) and I NEVER, even back when i was younger and Andrew WK's song was a "hit" (supposedly?) have heard that song till Rock Band... you cannot compare Andrew WK and Aerosmith WWW.
Aerosmith= Pure Raw Talent
Andrew WK= Copy Metal Riffs/Use Party Theme to get sales....

Oh man, Dream On. I loved it when it showed up in an ending of Cold Case. Fantastic ending. Will get, regardless of being live.

I am, in general, quite happy with this week's incoming. Some classic Aerosmith there. Still browsing the RBN though with list in one window and youtubing in the other. Discovering new groups is fun.

Brilliant Harmonix.

About this constant mentioning about the Elton John picks being "bad". Why? If it's because they aren't his most popular hits then you could argue that Billy Joel should have only got a 4 pack with "Piano Man", "We Didn't Start the Fire", "Tell Her About It" and "Uptown Girl" as those are his most popular songs to people nowadays.
