Anything by Ronnie James Dio is an anthem!

K, I'm done now.

Still excited to sing "Santa Monica."

Buying all 3 songs, great week of DLC. Would have preferred a pro upgrade on The Anthem though.

For people complaining about 3 songs a week :

If getting Rock Band 4 ready for later this year (all speculation on my part) means cutting us down to three songs a week, then that's the price we pay.

And remember before Rock band? When Guitar hero 2 just got like maybe five or six DLC weeks in the course of almost a year.

REMEMBER THAT?!?!?

Sure 3 songs a week isn't an album or 6 or 9 pack, but at least we're still getting DLC for a game that the entire industry has said is done (BOO ON THEM), and is now almost 18 months old.

I'm not even going to say name me one other game that has given us weekly dlc for almost five years in a row. BECAUSE IT DOESN'T EXIST.

Rock Band is the ****.

3 songs a week is more than 2 songs a week is more than 1 song a week is more than NO songs a week. So can we just be thankful for what we've got, and are still getting?

Instead of being greedy whiny little greed beasts all the time?

THIS. Music/Rhythm/Plastic Band/whatever-you-want-to-call-them games aren't all the popular these days. I'm glad we're still getting DLC every week. Rocksmith gets 2-3 songs every TWO weeks. Before Guitar Hero went under, they were doing 4 weeks of DLC all at once (one week of 10-12 tracks, then nothing for the rest of the month). Hell, Harmonix could EASILY have decided there'd be no more DLC for Rock Band 3 until Rock Band 4 comes out.

I'm glad we're still getting SOMETHING. What we're getting these days is a LOT closer to the amount of DLC being released the first year Rock Band came out. The "good ol' days" everyone's remember (when 8-10 tracks a week were released) was the months immediately after RB2, which is by far the best selling Rock Band game.

People forget in the weeks building up to RB3 we had some pretty small weeks. Ministry Pack 01 was released by itself, just 3 tracks. There were also a lot of dud weeks (honestly, how many people here were excited over Black Keys Pack 01 and Neon Trees Pack 01?) The way I see it, Harmonix is scaling back, releasing less iffy, B-side material, and sticking to stuff that will sell. If Neon Trees were to come to Rock Band today, we'd probably only get Animal as a single, MAYBE 1983, but definitely not Sins of My Youth (that one wasn't even a release off the album).

if you're gonna call your song an anthem, you better be damn sure.

f yeah, guitar hero ii!

"Santa Monica" is my favorite song to sing in Guitar Hero and I'm sure psyched to finally get it in Rock Band. When I saw Good Charlotte I was hoping we'd get more than one song (i hope we get at least a 3rd one in the future), but at least we got one of their very best.

Any week 2 songs I'm definitely going to mark as 5 star ones get released is a great one! Thanks, Harmonix!!!!

I DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOU, BUT I CAN!
tee hee, just kidding~

[rab39]

If I were Harmonix, I'd be psyched to hear complaints about not enough DLC being released. Bashing people for wanting more content makes little to no sense.

Santa Monica(weren't we just discussing how RB has no Everclear in Turntable?) and The Anthem, because there's nothing wrong with EBA tracks.
