I will be on later tonight as well, send an invite when you're ready to throw down on bass and I'll lend you my guitar/drums or vocals.
Up for doing this tonight? I had to go to sleep earlier last night.
edit: just did a practice run.. 449,003 points, 91%, 4 stars
edit2: someone just posted a run on Youtube. They found out 750k on Bass is still not enough for Gold Stars
Watching vids and comparing scores, I think right around 800K is the threshold for GS.
And sadly, I work till at least 10PM Thursday-Sunday, so the earliest I can get on for some rocking out won't be till Monday. But I'd love to get online w/ you sometime. I haven't played in a band setting in months. Would be nice to get it going, especially since I still haven't got any of the band achievements on RB3
When I rocked Rime on bass, I've gotten as high as 570,222 which is a low 5-star score.

Browsing through the Rock Band Network and I found a song that isn't metal or punk, has decent audio quality, and actually looks fun to play (at least on drums...)
The High Strung - The Luck You Got
Got links to preview charts for it in the spoiler - first one is bass, pro drums, pro keys(!) and harmonies, the second is guitar, regular drums and keys and solo vocals.
so that's 11 there, then another 3 we already knew about... leaving for 11 more songs to reveal (the article mentions 25 songs in the game)
They also listed out more powerups for the game:
Shockwave - sends out a wave that scores on all notes it touches
Bottle Rocket - explodes and clears notes it hits on tracks
Point Doubler - 2x points
Bandmate - takes over a track and plays all notes for you
Jackpot - play absolutely perfect to earn 3X points, but flub up and lose it all
Pinball Note - keep a pinball bouncing to clear touched notes
Blast Note - blows up any notes it touches
Synchrony - switches tracks without breaking your note streak
Flame Note - burn everything with fire to keep
Runaway Note - chase a note to get a bonus
edit: hahahahahahahah at that pro keys finish to the BRE in "The Luck You Got"
I fucking despise Collective Soul and that shitty fucking song. For nearly twenty god damned years I've had my hate on for that thing. The rest of that setlist had better be worth it.

I've got a couple from the RBN that aren't metal but I got them for personal reasons (Hint: They're both Stan Bush songs).
Also, local radio station is doing their "all live versions" playlist this weekend. What songs do the crowd singalong in some form? Is there a list somewhere?

Their drummer is my best man's kid brother. I thought I'd be a nice guy and give it a listen when they came out with their first CD, and played it every day for months. I can't count how many times I've seen them live now. Their bassist is awesome too. Check out the drummer and singer trying their own song!
It's always amusing to see a band unfamiliar with Rock Band try and play their own song. Though it's hard to top Stephen Colbert making Rush try to play Tom Sawyer.
EDIT:
Oh, if anyone still needs that challenge to do a "Harmonix Recommends" setlist, there's currently one available that's all RB1/2/3 songs.
(I hate One Week though. HATE. Can we delete individual songs from Blitz? Because while I don't care about "Visions" because no one at a party would ever have heard of it, and therefore no one will EVER pick it - people are going to constantly pick "One Week" and I'll be miserable.)

There will be a 1 week delay on the Bullet For My Valentine pack on SCEE / Sony Europe. International PS3 rockers can expect to see the pack on 6/6. We'll update this post if the schedule changes before then.

Can I say that I still love HMX's mixing abilities?
Last night I finally played a "recommends" playlist and it included Word Up. It actually sounds like a Korn cover as opposed to the disc version. It doesn't sound like an almost exact copy of the original, but something close to the band's style. Also, didn't know about that guitar solo at the end.
DLC Week of 6/5 - Singles from Florence + the Machine, Cracker and Midnight Oil!
Hey gang,
Harmonix kicks off June’s Rock Band Music Store releases with a selection of three singles that assure there’s something for everyone when the tracks drop on June 5th.
“Teen Angst (What the World Needs Now)” from alternative rock group Cracker kicks things off. The single comes from the band’s 1992 self-titled debut record, and peaked that year at number one on the Billboard’s U.S. Modern Rock Tracks.
When Florence + the Machine released their debut record, Lungs, in 2008, it quickly became one of the year’s most popular releases. “Dog Days Are Over,” the multi-platinum second single from Lungs, hits the Rock Band Music Store on June 5th.
Finally, Australia’s Midnight Oil makes their debut in Rock Band with ”Power and the Passion” the first single from the critically acclaimed 1982 record, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.
Available on Xbox 360, Wii and PlayStation®3 system (June 5th, 2012):
• Cracker – “Teen Angst (What the World Needs Now)” X
• Florence + the Machine – “Dog Days Are Over” O
• Midnight Oil – “Power and the Passion” O
Tracks marked with “O” feature support for keyboards; tracks marked with “X” will offer Pro Guitar and Pro Bass expansions for $0.99 per song.
Price:
$1.99 USD (160 Microsoft Points ™, 200 Wii Points™) per song
$0.99 USD (80 Microsoft Points™, 100 Wii Points™) per song for eligible Pro Guitar/Pro Bass upgrade

I can't remember if I ever properly thanked @JohnnyChopsocky for lending me RB3 to grab the free Doors pack since I wouldn't be able to get the game for myself in time. That really helped.
The problem with scores on RB1/2/3 is it just turns into OD path maximizing. I think it's mostly just friendly leaderboard competition, otherwise it's all about the co-op.
Maybe Blitz will make it more competing friendly?
I usually don't care about the tiering discussion, but wtf at Shining Star being considered two dots higher than Riders on the Storm
edit: more people need to buy the Billy Joel pack.

You should, like, update the thread title and OP.
They also released 12 other Iron Maiden songs, if I believe.
The songs revealed so far
I have 549 Rock Band Drum and 305 Pro Drum FC's
REFS REFS REFS REFS REFS REFS REFS REFS
FUCK! Collective Soul!
So that's at least 6 songs I want from this game. That's worth the $20.

Shine, One Week, Raise Your Glass and Cult of Personality are pretty much enough to sell me on it right there.
Or Where the River Flows or Heavy for awesome guitar work, but I'll take what I can get.
That's got a bit of a Beatles vibe to it. I am liking it. Does anyone else have any RBN diamonds amongst the metal??
This one has been out for a while, but I got it a month or two ago and I have been loving it
Very Busy People - the Limousines
And of course, if you don't have them yet, go and download anything by Jukebox the Ghost.

SHINE!
SHOUT!
Worth the price of admission ALONE. Hell yes.

And no, you cannot delete songs from a pack. Your only hope is to one-lighter it and then 'hide' one-lighter songs.
Or come to grips that people will pick a song they know and that you dislike.

At first glance I thought it was Limozeen from Homestar Runner. They had a song in Guitar Hero 80's edition.
Yes, it does. You caught me before I could edit. But it's still the only "on-disc only" song set I've seen.

I'll probably have direct cap ability within 2 months.

Fuck. Yes.

Anyone ever notice that they improved the singer's mouth animation for whistling parts?
