5/22 DLC Discussion Thread - Iron Maiden Epics 6 Pack!

[Sayburr]

Did you ever catch the tv show? Good song, not my favorite Maiden album for certain. Henry said it has tv clip so it will be pretty sweet.

Oh yeah... "Who's #1, you are #2"... Hated the AMC remake, it was a big steaming pile of crap.

Really? A little disappointed. Oh well, there's always next week.

[Desverger]

I'll pass this week. I watched the preview video, and the songs don't interest me enough to open my wallet.

Nice to see people excited, and I hope to feel that excited some time this year.

Don't know any of them by name, so none for me or my list. Though I guess it's not worth keeping the list right now anyway.

[Tom Imp]

I have mixed feelings on this one.

I love Maiden and will definitely buy all of it, but on the other hand this is one of those bands that I feel we have enough of already and was hoping for someone new that hasn't been in the game yet.

Was shocked as soon as i saw it was Iron Maiden and the fact that we're back to the old times number of songs. A bit dissapointed in the choice of songs tough, since we've been waiting for songs from The Final Frontier ever since it's album release and still we've gotten nothing from it. The songs are good but it's not any of my "Favorites" with the exception of "Seventh Son of a Seventh Son", sadly with no pro upgrade. In a nutshell i whould say this is quite a good week of dlc and we haven't had any of those for a "Long" time. Up the irons!

I understand why it was done, since Billy Joel and Bon Jovi even getting big packs in the first place was probably heavily influenced by the fact that they were pimping those specific compilations at the time of release.

Just seems like overkill if anything, they didn't have to. If I wanted to get this song else where, looking up Newest Releases by these artists will have those albums show up, and since people prefer greatest hits when buying albums, it's all in the bag. It's no skin off my back, but eh I'm one of the few who prefer getting studio albums to greatest hits.

Sorry to say, I never got into Maiden. It is nice to see the '80s hard rock/metal train continue, though. I'll keep hoping for some Scorpions.

In the meantime, I'll at least buy the two tracks with keys.

[Tykki-Teme]

Holy hell, what a pack! I'm not even a Maiden fan, but damn do I love these songs. Will be getting everything, upgrades included.

[peterike]

are just old dudes who got into music with classic rock type stuff and don't really care that much about the other genres, and are just doing some mild grousing.

Hah! That would be me. On the other hand, there are some current bands that this old fart would LOVE to see, like Gogol Bordello, Sufjan Stevens and The Weakerthans, to name a few. None of which I ever expect to see in Rockband.

RB has quite a lot of great classic rock in it already. It's just that there's still so much more out there that we old geezers would like to see added (Cream being #1 on my personal list). The other big gap for me is 80s punk/New Wave material. Aside from a lot of great Clash music (though none of the great early Clash), the pickings are very slim and there are SO many good bands that have never been touched (Gang of Four, yo, Gang of Four) and others represented only by a song or two (can we get a 12 pack of Elvis Costello puh-leze?).

So good on you Maiden fans, but that horrible noise makes my ears bleed.
