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

[JBlack240]

I won't be getting anything. Figured there'd be some modern metal coming but yet it's only a single and not something I want, bummer. Oh well, it's not like I'd have time to play these songs come Tuesday anyway.

[nunchuck charlie]

I will buy them. I will play them. I will smile. Thank you again Harmonix.

[Spidermaniac]

Well... I got news for you

Heh. It may not be DLC this week, but you might try Good Charlotte's "Hold On" if you don't know it. If you like the Blink 182, Green Day, and pop-Emo scene, you might dig it.

I wouldn't say she's a terrible writer

You also wouldn't know much about good writing.

Granted, she's not as terrible as Dan Brown or Christopher Paolini (or Stephenie Meyer, but that's kicking a dead horse), but she's done her fair share of mangling of the English language and her books desperately need a good editor to weed out a lot of the more redundant passages. Not to mention to cut that damn 70 page Galt speech in Atlas down to size. There's just no excuse for that.

That was my quote not Fayth1564's quote!

Yeah it was. Weird that it was attributed to him. Never seen the quote tool do that before.

Can anybody from Harmonix confirm which version of "Santa Monica" that we're getting? It was originally released on "Sparkle & Fade", but (and even this was new to me), they re-recorded a bunch of their songs for a Greatest Hits album in 2011 called "Return to Santa Monica".

Audio team almost always calls out when we are getting a rerecord, and they haven't mentioned anything this week so it's safe to assume that it's the "Sparkle & Fade" version. I'll double check to make sure.

Bummer though. Slowing down to 3 a week is understandable, but still disappointing/disconcerting. We all want the franchise to stay healthy enough to get our favs.

I hope you'll agree that releasing new content every week, regardless of quantity, is a good thing and a sign of how healthy RB is right now. 3 songs a week, plus Pro upgrades, is still no joke production wise and the RBN offerings will always lift those numbers up into the 12-15 songs per week range. Additionally, we are working on weekly Dance Central DLC and some other seeeeeeeeeeecrets as well, which you may have seen mentioned in the PAX East panel announcement yesterday. So yeah, in short, we're plenty healthy.

None for me this week but thanks anyway hmx and keep rock and roll going.

We definitely will!

[Songblade]

Everything went better than expected.

FFFFFFFFUUUUUUUU....

(Meh singles are meh.)

[BohemianMatt]

Oh gawd!!!! Everclear's first RB song!

A great day for 90s youth!

Here's to many more!

Exclamation point!

[Tykki-Teme]

The Mastodon song is pretty good, and the Everclear track is good too. Will probably end up getting both.

[Lowlander2]

and the RBN offerings will always lift those numbers up into the 12-15 songs per week range.

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.

Ah sweet, pro upgrade for Santa Monica~!
