January DLC: weeks of 1/22 and 1/29

[RightoSparky]

Oh man, more Rush!!! I gotta hand it to you guys, I'm SUPER-IMPRESSED!

As far as the covers are concerned, it probably doesn't lie with Harmonix, but the record company isn't letting them have the master tracks. Can't have everything, but what we have is great!

I think the guy doing the Geddy vocals is about the best I've heard. I give him a LOT of credit for pulling of a job that is nearly impossible to do.

Now, if we can just get SPIRIT OF RADIO!!!!

I want Ironman...

looks like I'll be purchasing 100% of the Jan. 29 tracks. I'll at least get Wonderwall on thursday.

still no word from HMX about why Coheed is a cover i see...i really wish it were a master, or least be given a reason as to why is a cover. Not that I don't have faith in the recording of the cover songs, but it's just different when i'm singing along with the original vocalist and when i'm singing along with a covered vocalist singing like the original. why? i don't know...just sounds different. I have faith in the music though, the covers thus far you have provided us with have all been pretty darn spot on with the instrumentals...just the vocals every now and then take a dive, i hope this is one of the covers that stay above water though....and why not make a Coheed Album DLC, just wishful asking...it would be quite epic

Hard sell for me to get the Choheed without it being in a 3 pack, wah wah wah.

Honestly even the Smashing Pumpkins is a hard sell for me now, hmm....

/me is spoiled by pack pricing!

Rush is not only prog, but one of the founding fathers of the genre.

Excellent choice HMX! I was beginning to wonder if Moving Pictures was the only album you guys had

Rush had a few prog albums, Working man isnt prog though. And actually the founding fathers were Yes, Genesis, King Crimson, etc. (With King Crimson arguablly releasing the first true prog album). Rush's first album came out in 1974, years after the others first albums, and it wasn't even prog. But yes Rush had some prog albums...mainly Caress of Steel (such an underrated album!), 2112, A farewell to kings, Hemispheres (a masterpiece) and to a lesser extent Permanent Waves and Moving Pictures (they were already starting to shift styles by this time, but it was still present.)

Anyway about the DLC. I will get all this. I don't love oasis, but I like those songs. They aren't a bad band, but they are not great like alot of people annoint them to be either. Silva was a great choice as well. I can't really complain about anything.
But anyway, I also want to say I love that Working Man was included. I think itd be cool if they could have got a live version! It is so awesome live, Alex just gives off so much energy during the solo. Plus it would make you feel like you are really performing a concert, and they might be able to get a recent live track easier than a Master version, plus it'd be the real deal!! -Anyone else agree about the live tracks? Obviously it would have to be live tracks from bands that can actually play live, but Rush can so it wouldn't be a big deal. Heck I think they even sound better live, because of the amazing energetic playing and elaborations.

it almost as if they want to take ALL of my money. damn your excellent choices Harmonix. damn them to hell!

There's someone over in the GameSpot Rock Band boards who's either fabricating one of the most elaborate lies I've ever heard or is leaking information...

GameSpot Forums - Rock Band - 2/5/08 Downloadable Content

That's not elaborate, or even marginally believable.

[WhiffleBallTony]

Still no Avenged Sevenfold?


Whatever, I'll probably buy everything except the Pumpkins' song.

Get M.I.A. by A7X! That would pwn so hard.
