Official Discussion: DLC Week of 11/6: Dave Matthews Band RB Debut with a Three-Pack!

[hmxhenry]

Word from the DLC Production team is that the DMB DLC should be up on PS3 now. We had flipped the switch for content to go live on our end at the usual time, but Sony was a bit late it kicking things on their end, which is why the tracks showed up in the store but were listed as unavailable.

As for the PS Store re organization, that's not something we're involved with and it affects all DLC for all titles. We'll have to work out what this means for DLC sorting moving forward and when we have a chance to explore the new lay out we'll do what we can to provide info to make sure people are able to find recently released DLC.

during the livestream they stated that the violin is charted on legacy guitar but not on Pro Guitar

that's... interesting. they have to have the same stems, since the pro upgrade only includes the charts, not different audio. so does that mean if you mess up the pro guitar part, you'll hear the violin audio cut out?

Being curious about this (and tired of waiting for Elison Cruz to upload a play-through of the pro g/b charts to YouTube ), I plugged in my MPA and took a look in practice mode. There are no guitar solos on the pro chart (and it may not be charted as a solo on the 5-lane chart--I can't remember); during that violin solo the guitar just plays the alternating staccato G and D chords which "punctuate" it.

THANK YOU!!!!! Been requesting some DMB songs since the first rock band it feels like and its nice that there are some out there now. Please keep them coming. Even though these aren't the best 3 choices for DMB songs to be released they are still a lot of fun to play. And challenging!

[mikeyts]

I'm perfectly happy with this selection. It's not the three I'd have chosen (which'd probably be "Grace Is Gone", "Jimi Thing" and "American Baby") but the older songs are two of my favorites and I like the new song.

After playing these through, I've got to say that the studio versions don't pack nearly as much energy as the live renditions. DMB is one of the rare bands that sound much better live than they do on a record. That's probably why they've released dozens of live shows.

I think a lot of people on here would be way more open to DMB if these had been live recordings. Hopefully HMX will realize this and release live material in the future.

Still great songs for rock band. I think that i'll be happier to get some overextended live version of litterally anything by them, but these songs are shorter, therefore better for parties.

I doubt it, since most of the people who've expressed a dislike for the band in this thread have stated that they hate DM's voice, which is still a major component of the live tracks.

Elison Cruz' play-through of the pro g/b charts of "Ants Marching" is up on YouTube, here.

His voice has gotten a lot deeper since the 90's.... as expected. I'll even admit that I don't like his voice in the early albums compared to recent ones.
