Bring Me to Life RB3 Version.

Bring Me to Life RB3 Version.

I would have preferred that over these. I'm not sure if I know any of these. Ill give them a listen in a bit.

[T-Hybrid]

Bring Me to Life RB3 Version.

That could depend on how well these sell. This is indeed a pleasent surprise akin to the 2nd CCR pack. I'll definately be buying these as soon as I have enough points.

[instantdeath999]

Meh, Evanescence is another band solely supported by nostalgia for me... so the only song I'd have the slightest interest in buying from them would be a RB3 version of Bring Me to Life. And maybe My Immortal. Everybody's Fool wasn't so bad back in the day, but it's quite obnoxious when I listen to it now.

I really hope next week isn't post-grunge. The pattern was broken by Men at Work and Santana, but they've been pouring a lot of it out lately.

Also, bummed because at first glance I thought we were getting more Sunny Day Real Estate songs

I absolutely love Evanescence, so this week is great to me.

I have to ask this though and this is directed towards HMXHenry or any other HMX employee that can answer.

Since it's quite obvious that you guys have a good working relationship with the band and/or their management, can you tell us why they decided to release "Going Under" through the RBN and not go through the official channels?

No offense to the RBN authors, but one would think that a band this big who has had other songs released in the game through HMX would stick with that method.

Offence taken.

[Santa Claustrophobia]

Offence taken.

Look. The sooner you realise that RBN is beneath us all, the better off we'll all be.

Well than you wouldn't have Going Under.
Harmonix didn't release it through the RBN, the authors did.
the RBN charts are just as good as Harmonix charts now.

[Lowlander2]

You're wrong.
They're even better in some cases.

Every post you make is rude and offensive.
If that's how you feel you shouldn't even speak. Enough said.

Wait, wait....

was he serious?

Is this a common attitude coming from him?
