====================================
I need more info on Rock Band!
For starters, there is the
Rock Band WikiPedia page that is up-to-date for the most part. The folks in this thread are more than happy to answer any quick questions you might have.
Oh man, this game is awesome! But I'm stuck on...
Hold on! As usual, there are people out there far better than you that full combo "Freebird" on Expert while upside down on leftmode with their ear lobes. For the most part, you can find a gold mine of info and help by visiting the
ScoreHero Rock Band forums and checking out the stickied topics and subforums.
So, what songs are in this?
This
WikiPedia page has them all listed and sorted accordingly. The PS3 and 360 versions have a Music Store in it that allows you to buy/download the weekly DLC.
Hmm, I want to see the notecharts for...
Pretty much any on-disc song can be found on YouTube. If you want to see notecharts for DLC or simply want to hear the music, check out the Rock Band DLC
Song Database page.
Fuck, PS2/Wii don't get DLC, right?
Sadly no. However, there is a
Rock Band Track Pack Vol. 1 currently available.
Dude! This game totally needs...
Yeah yeah...we know. How about you go tell Harmonix what you want in the game via their
Song Request page. Will they listen? Who knows. But with all the awesome they've thrown on us every week, there's always the possibility...
GOD DAMMIT! MY GEAR IS BROKEN!
Harmonix/EA/MTV have been nice so far and allowed people to RMA their broken equipment via EA's
Support Site. However, the deadline for non-60 day reciept RMAs is October 1st, 2008. After that, you need your reciept to send stuff in.
I'm tired of playing "Welcome Home" with these retards...
So are we. This is why there is a PA group for Xbox Live folk. If you are down, throw a friend request at
Rock Band PA and check out who's on the list. For PA rockin' we:
- Headsets aren't mandatory but it does make it more fun.
- Before throwing game invites, send a message beforehand to negotiate what instruments people are playing.
- Warn others before you start yodeling "Seven" with an open mic.
- Don't be a dick. This is just for fun.
- If you have DLC, be prepared to play it because most of us are bored with most of the main setlist. DLC isn't a requirement but if we see it, we just might play it.
So I heard this new single from the Sex Generals...
Ah, that would be some of us. We have a casual ScoreHero group for full band PA outings. sadly, only 4 at a time otherwise we would Bang Camaro this bitch. This is as casual as it gets so there are no scheduled meetups. If there's enough of us capable of challenging some scores, we'll go for it. Here are some of the recent outings.

New FeaturesAdditional 20 Songs for Free?
Yes, confirmed by Harmonix. They wanted to ship the game with 100+ songs but didn't get to do so in time. As such, another 20 will be available for download "soon after release" for the price of ZERO! Still no official word regarding which songs they will be.
MORE TO COME...
Carrying this over for awesome.
I really just want to see these note charts to figure out whether to get the whole thing or just YYZ.
Not really.
But I will buy it. It is an epic song.
Yeah but I had this OP sitting in a Word Pad file for ages*.
*About 2 days.
With my bro backing me up on expert drums we made it to about 60% or so, right when everything starts getting crazy.
Rock Band DLC | GW:OttW - arrcd | WLD - Thortar
I just did this, but it was mostly because I'm moving from Sydney to London around the time RB2 comes out.
It was a choice between shipping RB1 to London, or getting RB2 to be shipped to me. The choice was obvious.
I got fishing fever.
Catch a fish"?
(Taken from A Show of Hands, Tom Sawyer live)
Yes, they are delayed. Because of unspecified "technical difficulties".
Rock Band DLC | GW:OttW - arrcd | WLD - Thortar
On the brighter side that will give you time to fix your drum pads for Rush!
Everyone I work with are Rush-hating bastards, so they don't understand my pain.
(Ok, really just want the dot. And Rush.)
It better be out by Saturday, since I have plans with friends that involve this album.
The answer to this is crucial.
http://lexiconmegatherium.tumblr.com/
As long as this Rush thing is sorted out, there will almost certainly be DLC next week. Don't worry.
It's just because Arikado is away at PAX, so he can't change it.

Break Stuff is not one of their best songs but it is one of their awesome songs.
OMG, the Jem theme???? Really? Long live Freezepop. More Than Words is an interesting choice, it's gonna be awesome on guitar and vocals...but there's no drums and bass?
