One dollar Two dollars
song title - band name
Drag Me Away - Aminal (Pre-approval chart) Let The Games Begin - Anarbor (Drum chart only) Bow Down - Chrome Coma (Pre-approval chart) The Price - Dappled Cities (Drum chart only) Chalk Lines - Division Day Motorcide - Man Parts Eden was a Garden - Roman Candle (Pre-approval chart) Rude Awakening - Squeezebox
Apparently the Woodstock venue was not used because Harmonix does not like how daytime venues look in their engine, and this is why all of Rock Band's venues are at night or inside.
Was that the one with the mud throwing? That seems to be pretty iconic, in terms of Green Day history.
Yeah but if it looks like it's on a gigantic indoor set, people would have been pissed.
I'd rather HMX be honest about engine limitations than force through something they don't think will work well.
Or you know, they could improve their engine?
As much of a fan as I am of Greenday, I just can't see myself buying this game. The guitar part isn't going to be fun for me as I'm not a fan of alt strumming, and it seems sort of like a quick cash in. The thing that bugs me the most is that there's only three venues. What's up with that?
I'm really quite curious how Rock Band 3 is going to end up. Say what you will about GH and Activision, but I think that with every released, they have learned things that work and things that don't work. To the point that I think GH4 would actually be the best music game if it wasn't for you know...the music in it.
I have no idea if this is an error or something I just missed, but I was going through the Rock Band store and noticed that "I Am Crazy" by Little Fish is free. I had no idea.
I downloaded it, and its alright. Not great - but FREE!

Sure, let's just throw out most of the engine and rewrite it! Easy to do.
No, not really. You have to write the engine in the first place with indoor and outdoor environments in mind. For example, the Halo 3 engine had to be forced into doing Blackout, a nighttime map, because the engine has special issues that had to be worked around to do nighttime. You can't use the special map graphics filters on Blackout due to this - the way the lightmap had to be set up broke them.
I imagine similiar issues exist with the Rock Band engine. It was set up for inside and nighttime because that's where most concerts take place.

Welcome to three weeks ago. Buy some X whilst you're there...
That song is a drawback. I might just end up deleting it.
Normally Free songs are screamed from the mountaintop but I have no idea why I never knew about this one.
Im having a bunch of people over for Rock Band Saturday and hoping another one or two of the 3rd Eye Blind songs make it through RBN before then. Any way to check on that?

Yeah, it was odd about the Little Fish song. It was just kind of mentioned in passing. It's an utterly forgettable song. It makes Headphones On or Charlene comparable to the Thick as a Brick album in terms of 'epic'.
There are already two Third Eye Blind songs in RBN. The third is still wending through approval apparently. You'd probably be better off searching the Creator's website forums for any details on progress.
Outdoor lighting has been an issue since the first Guitar Hero. At least they've always said they've never been particularly happy with doing them. And that they prefer nighttime lighting because then they can do more with lighting effects. Why would you want HMX to scale back all the cool shit they can do during a 'show'?

Don't rip on "Headphones On" now
It is wonderful, easily the best free track
Exhibit 47B in the case that Unbreakable is actually a chick. :P
I don't know, my high school is full of silly gooses that listen to Slipknot and Metallica and lambast anyone that likes anything even a little less testosterone-fueled

It's a nice change of pace
I think there's a new revolution of people actually admitting they like stuff and not "ironically". Just admitting you like something, even if it is cheesy (for example, I now like Lady Gaga and Paramore).

I don't think it's some new revolution at all
I just think I've become less of a hateful little bastard then I was in my teen years and just like a lot more things, lighthearted and often childish as they may be. I recognize what they are, and that's fine.
tl;dr I don't sit in my room with a frown on all day listening to Nirvana

Ultimately, there's nothing wrong with Headphones On. It's not the greatest piece of music, but it doesn't have to be. And I don't think it's trying either, so points for that.
But compared to the Little Fish song? It's a milestone of pop culture. I certainly don't recoil in horror when Headphones On pops up in a Mystery set.
That Little Fish song has a pretty interesting drum part. Its ok.
Also I was really excited for "The Taste of Ink". I listened to that song a lot in high school, and my old band opened for the Used back when that song was getting big, so it was nostalgic.
I'm not being "that guy" and I usually dont complain too much about what HMX does (because there's usually nothing to complain about), but they either recived a demo of the track, an unfinished master (that hadn't been autotuned or tweaked), or they chose the weirdest vocal part ever to push to the front.
So glad I listened to the preview. The vocals sound absolutely nothing like the song I had been listening to for almost 10 years. Weird.

This is actually different. In this game we're taking a different approach to performances: We're building these crafted, linear sequences. One of the reasons we could do open-ended DLC for The Beatles is that it's all tiny clips, and we could just reconfigure them for different songs as needed -- and dreamscape backgrounds similarly had that. With this, we're really creating sculpted experiences for every single song; there's an animation that plays all the way through, pretty much. That's something that's not really practical to do open-ended. So we decided we were going to make DLC just about finishing 21st Century Breakdown, using the DLC that was already out. That created a great three-album game, and also let us give each of those [six DLC tracks] unique assets, more than we could easily pack into a DLC pack. Those songs have their own video-wall assets, their own [motion capture].
Shorter: 'We're acting pretty lame right now...'
Of course, this doesn't mean there can't or won't be future DLC from the band for the platform that is Rock Band, but immediate comparisons to The Beatles 'situation' popped up You Know Where. But then, it didn't help to directly reference B:RB in the statement...
Perhaps, but they also know what DLC will be 'available' for the game itself. So it's easier to create something like 'Play all of 21st Century Breakdown' or something.
So wait, just to make sure: All of Dookie and American Idiot are in Rock Band Green Day? Hmm. I was planning on giving it a pass, but at that rate I'd bite on it once I can snag it for $30 or so, since that's what I'd pay for two $15 albums.
Really, though, in my mind I might be just paying $30 for Dookie and getting everything else for free. I love that album.

Finally FCed "Gunpowder and Lead"
Something always tripped me up right at the end previously
Sounds like excuses to me
Well, Beatles is also cartoony and the venue still looks like it's taking place inside, the lighting is weird
also it's the Beatles. Everyone remembers that. Hardly anyone remembers Woodstock '94
They remember the first one and the one with the rapes and riots. The others just kind of exist in a vacuum somewhere.

They probably don't want to deal with the light source that is the sunlight and its reflections.

I firmly believe that Tik-Tok is the funniest song
Possibly NSFW? All the dirty bits are blanked out

The only thing to recommend Tik-Tok is the blingcycle in the first minute of the video. Otherwise it is the worst.
If Kedollarha come back in ten years and says it was all a big prank on the music industry I might change my mind.
EDIT: Headphones On is a song I don't let any of my friends hear while scrolling past it...but I'll never delete it.

Which would be a first for Rock Band.
I said funny, not good. There's a distinction.
She isn't funny either which is part of her sucktitude.
Really, though, in my mind I might be just paying $30 for Dookie and getting everything else for free. I love that album.
She's also nothing but Auto-tune which makes my ears bleed.
