12/14/10 DLC Discussion - Billy Joel Megapack

[Magnet]

Hey gang,

As announced a few weeks ago, and confirmed with specific dates and pricing now for your enjoyment, next week we'll be seeing DLC from the Piano Man himself, Billy Joel! "We Didn't Start The Fire" and "You May Be Right" join the 10 previously announced tracks to round out this killer 12 pack.

But don't take it from me! Here's what the man himself had to say about the pack:

"The addition of the keyboard made me interested in bringing my music to Rock Band," said Billy Joel. "The game introduces music to an enthusiastic audience in a powerful way, and now also helps players get a grasp on the fundamentals of the keyboard."

There you have it! Enjoy!

Yes!!! Just announced! No surprise what was coming this week since we knew about it a month ago. The additional, previously unannounced, songs ("We Didn't Start the Fire" and "You May Be Right") are very good ones to add to the list. Of course, how could you go wrong with Mr. Joel?

Instant purchase day 1 for me. There goes another $20!

Getting it all. This is going to be freaking sweet.

Super excited for "We Didn't Start The Fire", was getting worried it would not be included!

FULL PACK FOR THE SUPPORT OF AWESOME! Woot pro guitar for Movin' Out, I was hoping that song got it Thanks HMX! <3

Only the Good Die Young FTW!

Only wish there was Uptown girl

[Odin Force]

Getting it all. There's a few I like *less* (wish we had My Life, Scenes, I Go to Extremes, even Uptown Girl) and I have high hopes for more Billy Joel in the future, but this is perfectly fine by me! Thank you HMX!

[Bosco32]

Getting it all, and the pro charts. Great, great work, HMX.

Amazing week!

They should have called it "Billy Joel The Hits: Screw that critic who shuddered at the thought of Billy Joel in Rock Band Edition"

Oh yeah, buying every track for sure. Fantastic release, HMX, thank you.

6 song purchases at least, with a possible full pack purchase. Good choices for the final 2 songs.
