RBN Community Spotlight : October 2012

[Iron_Lombax]

Okay here's the last announcement we've got for the day.

Since this is the year anniversary of the community Rock Band thread I thought in celebration we'd talk about what TAG is going to be doing for the NEXT year. So here's an advanced 'look' at what we'll be bringing to you later in 2013.

This stuff is still a ways out. We've got our current pile of fun to get through, but we wanted to do something special for the thread in honor of the year mark so here goes!

Since I started TAG there's been some watershed bands (at least for me) that I've been chasing since even before we released our first piece of DLC. We finally locked down a lot of them and so I'm proud to announce a VERY early look at what you can expect in 2013 (later half of) from TAG.

You should probably sit down

The return of Fearless Records
American Head Charge
Slightly Stoopid
Black Light Burns (Wes Borland)
Early Avenged Sevenfold (first two albums)
Sublime
Children of Bodom
The return of Subpop records
In Flames
Brendon Small/Dethklok

It's been a hell of a year for us at TAG.

2013 is going to be even better.

See you all next announcement thread and everyone keep rockin!

Whoa! Nice job!

Looking forward to these being released.

[Pankrazzo]

Will buy any Sublime/Slightly Stoopid/Subpop records songs, amazing move.

[FairwoodStudios]

Didn't that have to do more with the author straight up lying to labels that they worked for Harmonix?

No, I think that one was the PUSA guy. Although, yea, the EMI guy might not've actually been authorized by EMI. We'll never know for certain, of course.

[MagicMurderBag7]

There was PUSA in the RBN at one point? Damn, that would have been awesome.

[SylarTheNinja]

Not full albums (well not at the moment) from Avenged, but I won't see you tonight pt 1 and Chapter 4 could be coming (hint).

Ahh that's my favourite Avenged Sevenfold song!

[Tykki-Teme]

I just stopped reading the thread to say holy freaking jesus In Flames and Children of Bodom?! I would've NEVER expected either of them (or many of the other announced ones) to come through the RBN. This. Is. Win.

Brand New Key re-record sounds good to me. I've only heard the original once, though, so I don't really know the difference.

[TheStuddz]

I'm not sure if anyone has mentioned this, but the Sublime stuff will probably be from the first two albums, since the third was on MCA. This means no "Santeria", "What I Got" or "Wrong Way".

We could still get "Date Rape" though.

TAG, correct me if I'm wrong.

[TheStuddz]

Here is a list of Sub Pop artists and the songs I'd most like from them.*

If a title is in bold, it is because I believe the song could work well in RB and/or I want it most.

If a title is green, it is because the song has a deep, personal connection to me, or a past experience of mine, and I desperately want to be able to sing my life's story through these songs. I hope you'll help me with this objective of mine, TAG.

Aww yeah! Those harmonies sound epic on that one.

I'm definitely hoping for Date Rape if we get Sublime stuff. haha
On another note, has anyone heard that re-record of What I've Got on the radio? It makes me ears hurt. lol
