DLC Discussion: Week of 6/28 - Poison 3-Pack and 3 Doors Down 3-Pack!

[Magnet]

Hey gang!

Next week we'll be adding two 3 packs to the RB library, including the long overdue addition of Poison, which should hopefully flesh out the hair band options a bit for the longtime faithful on the forums.

Poison will make their Rock Band debut next week with a three pack of hits – “Nothin’ but a Good Time” from 1988’s Open Up and Say … Ahh!, “Unskinny Bop” from 1990’s Flesh & Blood and “Talk Dirty To Me” from their debut album, Look What the Cat Dragged In.

Rockers 3 Doors Down are adding to their Rock Band catalog with a three pack of songs next week that will include “Here Without You”, “When I’m Gone” and “When You’re Young”, the first single from their new album Time of My Life, which will be released July 19, 2011.

Each band will also have one Pro Guitar upgrade available. Enjoy!

Discuss, but don't talk dirty to me.

kind of shocked at the omission of "Every Rose Has Its Thorn" but that may very well end up being released in Poison Pack 2 or as a single. Good week thought, will get both packs!

[TheStuddz]

Also surprised by the lack of "Every Rose", but I don't mind. Probably wouldn't have bought it anyway. What I will buy, however, is the 3 Doors Down pack, and "Talk Dirty To Me". I'll listen to the other Poison songs, and maybe even buy the entire pack.


EDIT: I've listened to the Poison tracks, and I'm happy to report I'll be buying it all this week!

[SwordofWhedon]

Why are you shocked? The one downside of Rock Band has been the serious lack of Power Ballads, so I was grossly dissapointed, but not suprised by the lack of Every Rose. Vocalists need love too, power ballads love.

[DackAttac]

I must concur. While it's a good idea to err on the former side of the rawker:ballad ratio, a good balance is crucial.

couldn't agree with you more, their song selection since they've become independent has been spectacular

Glad folks have been pleased with the DLC lately! There's still a lot of amazing stuff in the pipeline, should should make for some excellent RB parties this summer.

Yep, there have been great songs for DLC ever since RB3 came out. I love the classic rock and hope for more of it, but I also like more recent bands like Maroon 5 and Puddle of Mudd.

Great Poison songs this week.....hopefully Something To Believe In by Poison will be out at some point, since it seems like a great fit with the Piano.

POISON!

When Look what the Cat Dragged in was released I was in sixth grade. Me and my friends couldn't decide for the longest time if that was dudes or ugly chicks on the album cover.

True story.
