Entire Dream Theater catalog a possibility!

Precisely. Dream Theater is not much more well-known than other bands we've seen on RBN.

And the Exaggeration of the Month award goes to...

Honestly.

Dream Theater is one of those 'just under the surface' bands, as I like to say. Anyone whose bother to look even an inch past what they are told to like by the media has likely heard of Dream Theater. Those people also likely play Rock Band. Put two and two together.

Yyyyyyyeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If this is not true i am giong to be so mad, but thanks for the update

Im still trying to get in contact with alex lifeson of rush for the entire rush catalog, but it turns out that it would take me two hours to bike to his new house, and I dont have a car to drive the 15 minutes away from me, and i do not know if he will even be there

Although I wasn't honestly expecting (and still not really) the full catalog, I did see this as conceivably being something that DT would get into - but hearing about it as more than speculation is great. Would gladly take most anything I could get, and while the 10 minute limit is a hindrance here, there's still plenty of material to be had.

This could be true if Dream Theater was a well known band.

Last album reached number 6 in the US and was 1 in Europe...yup no one knows these guys

As for those who say DT is not a well-known band, their last two albums made it to the #19 and #6 spots in the Billboard Album top 200, and their chart positions in mainland Europe (they never really caught on in the UK, for some reason), Japan and Mexico have been even higher. Think of them what you will, but they're not an small, unknown band by any means, especially not outside of the US.

Precisely. Dream Theater is not much more well-known than other bands we've seen on RBN. Among people who like their kind of music, they may be well-known, but they remain relatively anonymous to the public at large.

Still, if requests and reaction from the forums are any indication, something like this could definitely drive some sales and interest in RBN.

Yeah, they've sold 8 million albums, and all of their albums but one have made it into the top 200 album charts in the US except their first one, including their recent #6 album, not to mention the appearances they made in Rock Band and GHWT... but you're right, no one knows who they are.

The full DT catalogue would be EPIC

The guys on Scorehero were talking about the apparent ten minute limit...they linked an article that mentioned the limit as twenty minutes. EDIT: Ignore that, they're wrong.

Also, in the developer quotes thread HMXEnosity said about any time limit: "We are committed to giving artists the same tools that Harmonix uses when authoring music. I want to make it clear that RBN Store songs (if authored to the fullest) will be of the same caliber of songs in the RB Music Store. More details to come later."

That to me indicates that a big name artist like DT would get the same treatment on the RBN store as in the regular store.

Here's the SH topic.

The Wired link that you're referring to is wrong. It's 30 seconds to 10 minutes.
