Official Discussion Thread: DLC Week of 3/6 - Everclear, Good Charlotte, Mastodon

[Lowlander2]

How is complaining about a dip in weekly dlc output at this point in the game's life cycle, and where the genre as a whole is currently at anything but self entitled bull?

Okay, personally? No real issues with the quantity of the DLC. I would like more, but sales, demand, whatever, I am fine with what we got.

But however you look at it, it's not just some of us getting "picky", although I don't necessarily think asking for more content is bad, either. HMX themselves raised the bar, pure and simple, and I'm not just comparing this to the RB2 days. I am comparing this as well to, well, this time last year. 9 months ago. Six, even. The genre was not really any less "dead" then than it is now. In fact, Rocksmith's moderate success may have given it some legs yet.

So...what?

Henrrrrryyyyyyy!!!

I know I'm in the nichest of niche countries when it comes to Rock Band, but I've said this before: if I can't get RBN content as easily as I can HMX content, it doesn't count. Pure and simple.

There are apparently workarounds, but man, if you heard what I've been through to get any RBN content within the last year, you'd be instantly sympathetic.

I'm not saying don't stop promoting this otherwise wonderful and amazing platform of extra material, but I hope you don't mind that, whenever you say that, I'm going to stick my fingers in my ears.

For 98% of Rock Band players, it does count. It may surprise you to learn that the world does not revolve around you.

Hmm, it's not like I said something to that effect in the post or anything. No, no.

Also, 98%? Hyperbole.

Everclear is a must buy for me. Bringing me back to 7th grade. I hope this means more possible in the future. I know their songs are not super complex on any instruments, but they are catchy. Father of Mine would be a great one.

Not a huge fan of GC but "the anthem" is the one song of theirs I like, might get it eventually.

Mastadon is one of those metal bands I just don't get into, but still a highly requested band so glad the fans get another track from them.

I like singles weeks.

Skipping this week - just not my style.

Congratulations to Everclear for making it to Rock Band.

No favorites and no keys in the official DLC, so it's a pass week for me. But that's okay. I haven't even found time to buy the Huey Lewis pack yet, so I'll still have that to keep me busy this weekend and next. I may also check out the Jerry Naylor tune in the RBN.

Congrats to the fans of this week's tracks. Enjoy!

I love it when a new band pops up. Santa Monica is awesome. Thanks guys. I'll check out the others and see if I at least semi recognize them so I can give you some more money.

Just listened to Corporate Control because I really liked the name of it.

AND WOW! COMPLETELY BLOWN AWAY! BUY IT BUY IT BUY IT!
Even though it's a bit too anti business for my liking, whatever! Even if I don't agree with the message, it's still awesome!

Nothing for me. I'll wait till they go back a few decades again.
