Official Discussion: DLC Week of 11/20: 6 Singles Spanning 6 Decades!

Yes, I understand, Henry. And I really had no place to complain about it, it was just reactionary. The forum reaction to my post left a much longer impression to me than the actual song mix-up.

The lesson? Don't post when you're pissed.

You've done the one thing most people who over-react usually never do. Acknowledged you made a mistake and apologised for it. But SheSaidSheSaid is right. Next time you feel upset about something like this, walk away from the keyboard and cool off first :P

Henry's right by the way. I was miffed that I couldn't play Closer when I "bought" it. The 4-5 hours wasn't too bad though.

[Riffrockrat]

Yeah, I know. I bought four of the six songs that morning, played through three and when I went to play Closer, it wasn't there. I figured it was related to a download problem, though, because it had not appeared on the download queue at first. (I had bought the Weight first because I was buying them in chronological order).

[Munnchy]

Ok, this content is genuinely some of the trickiest i've played so far. I've tried gold starring all 5 that I have, I've managed 1.....

Jessica is a lot of fun in Blitz. If anyone's wondering, both solos are still there. Actually, the one problem with that chart is that it's pretty much impossible to level up all the way in the short space between the piano and guitar solos.

Instead of playing Closer in Blitz, I played Head Like a Hole, which is one of the more bat**** insane songs I've played; there were so many notes that I think the frame rate skipped a bit.

Well I made the mistake of trying "I Melt With You" on vocals. Nope. Final score of 1 star and 25%. That 80s voice is impossible for me. I only got it for the easy keys.

Way late to the discussion, but in case anyone was still wondering about this...

I’ve seen a few questions on the forums about “I Melt With You” and missing some of the BGVs. I originally thought they were missing too because the version I was familiar with had them. And we contacted the label about it. Turns out we have the original album version that never had those BGVs. Those BGVs were added sometime later, maybe in one of the several re-records they did.

So there you have it. It's always cool digging into questions like this. Happy to dive deeper when interesting questions pop up about the DLC.

The version with the extra background vocals actually isn't a rerecord, but a remix of the original. The remix was the "official" single release of the song, and also featured in the song's video. Back in the early '80s, whenever a song had significant differences between its album and single releases, which version you heard on the radio usually depended on which radio station you were listening to, so it was easy for both versions to become popular.

You can watch the video and hear the remix here.

A good thing to remember if we ever get the version of Safety Dance without the spoken "S-A-F-E-T-Y" intro.

So am i correct in thinking that Cold by Crossfade is the highest selling single from this pack so far and The Weight is the least? I'm using the Rockbandscores dlc popularity section as an indicator of this, no hard facts. Either way I'm not surprised by either.

No, "Cry Thunder" is least and "Closer" is the highest selling single.
