[V8VANTAGE]

Yippee! Best RB3 week in AGES. This is the kind of stuff I like to see.

BUYING THE WHOLE FRIGGIN PACK!

I can't tell you how excited I am!

I believe you guys misspelled it. It's Arrowsmith. The nobel profession of crafting long, cylindrical projectiles.

I think the live version of "Dream On" is off of Rockin' the Joint. The year doesn't match what Harmonix has (the album was released in 2005), but it sounds like the same version as the preview video.

It's not very well known, because it was only on the DVD side of a DualDisc release.

well if that is the live version, it sadly looks like I will only be getting Sweet Emotion

I'm actually almost 100% sure this is the version of Dream On we're getting.

On Little South of Sanity, Steven Tyler says "Listen" before going into the "Dream on..." and has the line "balls turn blue".

Rockin' the Joint and the HMX preview have "Now listen" and "dreams turn blue"

I really think it's Rockin' the Joint.

just when I thought the RB world was going to fade away with a whimper.... this!
I'm not a huge aerosmith fan ... but a few of these are day one buys. very cool!!

Hmm... if this article from July 2008 talks about Van Halen and Eagles exclusivity, then it means that Van Halen's exclusivity period started waay before GH:VH. Way back when Hot For Teacher came on GH:WT, in fact.

Assuming they both got the same 5-year deal Aerosmith did... this means their contract will be up sometime within the next six months.

So we could potentially be getting Eagles and Van Halen packs in July... assuming that the DLC does run longer than March.

(Seriously, WTF Activision? You get exclusive rights to one of the biggest-selling bands, give them a disc song that doesn't export and a 3-pack of DLC, and then do ABSOLUTELY NOTHING ELSE with them?)

Please, please, please, please, please, please..........

I still play GH;VH. Other then that, the only other GH I still play is when I get the hankering for Hotel California. And I usually play that song and change discs again. It would be awesome to consolidate.

Holy ****balls! Never in a million years did I think we'd ever see Aerosmith in a Rockband game again, yet you guys have opened up a huge can of 'surprise' all over my face. Thank you so much for grabbing songs from these guys after the GH deal expired. Its been a long time since I could say this but here it goes, I can't wait to buy EVERY song that comes out this week. Oh, its glorious.

[karaokefreak]

Awesome. Will buy all of them!

This is correct. The vocal inflections are identical in this version.
