Official Discussion Thread: DLC Week of 12/13 - Rush, Black Veil Brides & Volbeat

[blingdomepiece]

Actually the part about the drummer is true. As awesome as Peart is as a drummer, his lyrics really are pretty terrible. I blame his misguided Ayn Rand fetish.

Ayn Rand fetish only really existed from 1975 to 1981 or so. I think his lyrics get a lot better later as he develops his own ideas and stops repeating those of others.

I have a feeling Rush 2112 is being released the first week of 2012. The announcement says there will be more Rush information by the end of the year. I'm guessing this means the last week of December will announce 2112 coming next week (in 2012). I doubt we'd get two Rush packs all in month anyway.

You mean, this ISN'T planned for release?

Hadn't seen that before. Comedy gold.

You cannot compare them to Nickelback. Really, it's just the lyrics of this one song. Their other stuff is nothing like Nickelback.

Indeed.

This is pretty much the worst possible song to represent the "sound" of Volbeat.

What does Wilson, Jackson, and Polk reference ?

PM me if you would like to help participate in the DLC next Tuesday morning, if you're planning to purchase all five songs

A lot of prog since Rock Band 3. I like it.

I kinda figured that would happen as soon as the keys were announced. Keys= better prog in the game.

Yes, Queen (sorta Proggish - listen to The Prophet's Song), Rush... I know I'm lovin' it.

[FujiSkunk]

Rush for sure. Great to see two more classic tracks, even if one of them is a live swap.

Whenever I hear "Fly by Night" I now think of the Dead Alewives "Dungeons and Dragons" bit. Not the original, but the lesser known second part (ignore the pics-are-unrelated). "Fly by night, the Mountain Dew! Mountain Dew-a-doo-oo-ooh!"

I might pick up the fishy song too. That guy seems pretty good on keys, even if he has a weird way of expressing his opinion sometimes.

Probably get Spirit. One more week left to release TSO...but I think since it was not announced today there will not be any coming (again). Any later release will be fewer sales and less profit for HMX.

I would have thought the whole "holiday music doesn't sell outside of the holiday and so don't expect any" would have limited your expectations of seeing any tso.

Good Rush pack, and Volbeat (though not the song I might've expected :P) is a nice touch on top. Good work.

And of course the Volbeat song will give me something to spend the odd $1 when I eventually get a $20 card, and spend $15 on the DLC for Deus Ex

I would have thought the whole "holiday music doesn't sell outside of the holiday and so don't expect any" would have limited your expectations of seeing any tso.

Indeed, unfortunate but true.

Although if we did get Christmas DLC, it'd probably be next week. They should probably do what they did last year and just give us one really notable song, so as to satisfy the people who want Christmas themed DLC without making the entire week dependent on the few sales of the more 'novelty' songs.
