    I'm going to get 1600 points tonight or tomorrow. I really want all of Blood, Sugar, Sex, Magick...but, there are so many other songs I want. I'm thinking of just being picky and taking 5 off of BSSM and then getting 5 other random songs...it's a tough decision.

    I hear ya.. there are some things on BSSM that are now stuck on my Xbox that I will never voluntarily play again, and will only ever force me to fail out of random setlists (I'm fucking looking at you, They're Red Hot). Then there's things I won't choose to play and wont enjoy when they turn up on random.

    There is quite a few songs I'd never heard of/didn't think I'd enjoy and I never would have chosen to download outside the full album.

    What would make me really fucking happy is if we could delete single tracks out of track packs or albums. WHY, Harmonix?

    I know Sunday I am definitely busy as we are having the baby shower then.

    Man, you're getting ripped off. Ours was at someone else's house, so I got the house to myself all day.

    Though I think that was the day my 360 red ringed.

    Well, we are doing it at someone else's house. It's a boy girl baby shower. I'm bringing Rock Band, we are drinking, it's going to be a good time.


    Well, my fiance is not drinking obviously.

    I think I'm just going to snag the few I want. I mean, if way later down the road I buy the rest and end up spending a good deal more for the whole album, so be it.

    I ended up just getting Under the Bridge and Suck My Kiss—I like the full album but not enough to really splurge on all of the tracks. Those two tracks and Give It Away encapsulate the sound enough for me anyway, though I was considering Power of Equality.

    As my DLC library grows, I'm getting more and more picky with what I end up buying, though I'll definitely get the full Foo Fighters album when it drops.

    EDIT: GHWT's DLC list is meager but not all that bad: Boston's Rock 'n Roll Band is the RB double, but there's also an REM pack of new songs, Jessie's Girl and a few others.

    GH:WT DLC

    Classic Rock Pack
    • "Rock and Roll Band" by Boston
    • "Hot Blooded" by Foreigner
    • "Jessie's Girl" by Rock Springfield
    "No Rain" by Blind Melon [Exclusive for 2 weeks, I don't know what the fuck this means]
    "Horse to Water" by R.E.M.
    "Man-Sized Wreath" by R.E.M.
    "Supernatural Superserious" by R.E.M.

    Honestly, quantity aside, they've could have done better. Also the fact they didn't announce the prices makes me think that they might end up costing a lot more than RB DLC.

    I actually am slightly jealous of a couple of the song annoucements, but I'm not sure how fun they'll really be. Hot Blooded and Jessie's Girl are good classic tracks, but I can't envision a truly fancy notechart. Smashing Pumpinks 1979? What a fucking snooze fest. First rhythm game track that will actually induce comas.

    Of course, this being a GH product, they'll over chart the shit out of them to make them artificially... "fun"...

    EDIT: Raijin, I should have asked, what instrument? If it's guitar, i would really suggest checking the youtube on Naked In The Rain. I'll be disagreed with strongly, but I do not find the note chart fun in the slightest. Maybe try a play along and see if you enjoy it.

    Wait...what? 1979? Get out of here, that track is full of awesome. Not every song has to be a rock fest to actually rock. I'd wish RB put out some more slow songs to balance things a bit.

    According to wiki, it means exclusive on the 360 for 2 weeks, and then available on PS3. Why is this even announcement worthy? Wiki is silent on that.

    There are a lot of slower songs that are a blast to play. I'm not judging the song on it's "rock festeyness" I'm thinking of the potential note chart. Really listen to the song and think about how it'd be charted in RB.

    They have added the ability to buy singles, though, which is a step up from before. Still, I maintain that DLC for GHWT will be wholly underwhelming, even when not compared to RB's epic catalog. But it is interesting that the DLC is very un-metal, though I assume the user-made song section will be clogged with Dragonforce wannabes.

    I looked at a few guitar notechart vids on YouTube and the one for L'via L'Viaquez by the Mars Volta was terrible, so I'm still on the fence about even renting GHWT.

    Breaking the Girl really isn't anything like like those other tracks to have them encapsulate the sound of it.

    As for the GHWT DLC, No Rain I would have liked in Rock Band, but other than that I don't really care for anything.

    What did RB1 have on release day? QOtSA pack, Metallica pack, Jukebox Hero, Cherry Bomb, Bang A Gong, Police Pack...


    aaaaaaaaaaanyways, I'm not really angry. I had prepared myself to see those R.E.M. tracks, and as the most die hard of the die hards, I would get all 3 - but only be EXCITED for Horse To Water (and even then, only the verses.) I'm more pissed that "One I Love" is in the actual game - and even that's not a great choice when you want to get a full band experience going.

    Jessie's Girl will make my girlfriend sad, and Hot Blooded would be one of those songs that 6 months ago I would have instantly bought, but right now I still haven't gotten around to Stop!, Push It, ALL of Blood Sugar Sex Magik -- and thats just recent. Looking back there's stuff I wanted to grab (Shhhh, Running Wild) that I don't even remember until I'm in the store. Hot Blooded would be in that group.

    I'm very curious to see the chart for Drums in No Rain by Blind Melon. I love that song to death, but for the life of me, I can't hear anything beyond the drummer hitting quarter notes on the snare in 4/4 time with brushes and not sticks.

    Personally, I would like to see some kind of RB play mode that supports super long songs or suites that you could play all together, or in individual pieces. In terms of dream theater, octavarium and disc 2 of six degrees would be perfect for this. There are lots of other bands with songs that would work will like "supper's ready" by genesis, "tarkus" by ELP, or even "the decline" by NOFX.

    Epic suites? Anyone?

    We will agree to disagree. :) It's really not the type of artist to have as a main set list song in a rhythm game because so many people hate them, which is why I was surprised to see it pop up. Especially L'Via, which has those extended salsa piano breakdowns. I like the song but I can see it buzzkilling rockin' parties faster than any nerdy Rush song. (Which I also love.)

    True, true, and I'm sure I'll download that before the next major party I throw, since it's a crowd fave. It's kind of like No Rain and Blind Melon, though, in that Breaking the Girl is kind of the exception to the rest of the album's sound. I like Blind Melon's first album, but No Rain sounds nothing like the rest of it. People who bought the CD based on the single were on the receiving end of a 1980s rickroll!

    I went on a spending spree last night. Picked up all the DLC from this week except Harvey Danger (hate that band) and Stop! (I don't mind the song, just didn't sound like it'll be fun for RB).

    Also, out of the RHCP album I picked up:

    Under the Bridge
    Breaking the Girl
    Suck My Kiss
    BSSM

    I seriously considered getting the whole album, but there were a few that I knew I'd never want to play. Figured I'd get 4 now and if sometime down the road good DLC gets scarce (not likely) I'll grab another 4. Apache Rose Peacock, Sir Psycho Sexy, and Power of Equality all sound like they'd be fun...
