Legit shook by this.
Every time I'm about to put my plastic drums up, something makes me hesitant.

All aboard! The Love train!
Brianstorm is boring as hell on instruments that aren't drums. R U Mine is the better choice.
Had Deadbolt by Thrice and Sowing Season by Brand New, so I really didn't complain. More than I had expected TBH
A subscription service should work pretty nicely IMO. I invested a couple hundred into my 360 but would still be extremely willing to buy a next gen rockband set, I'd just select DLC I really liked this time around or wait for a sale or something.

Better than A Certain Romance???
If I had only invested a couple hundred I might feel differently. Last I checked my RB3 library was at around 700 songs. That does include RB1/2/Lego imports and freebies, but even after that, I've spent a huge sum.
Yeah 700 is a bit much lol, what is that, around $1400 at $1.99 a song? I know they had packs to reduce it but I just didn't have that much money back then haha. Not sure how they'd allow for importing, especially from 360 to PS4 but I'll hope for it aswell!
First things first, which will be I want a new Rock Band!

I've got like 1,200 songs in my library. Pains me to think how much I've spent, but the game is just too damn fun.
Also, I find it hilarious that after 2+ years of silence, the "where's song/band X" complaints are back without missing a beat
HMX, can we get The National plz?

I'm willing to pay some sort of nominal fee to do so.
I definitely didn't pay street value. In fact a lot of it was from getting points at a steep discount at Target at some point.
But even still, I am heavily invested.
I have zero interest in a subscription though. I have too many subscriptions already.
I quite liked it, lol. Since we're at it, it had Sultans Of Swing, 2 Minutes To Mindnight (fuck the censorship, though), Blue Orchid, Incinerate, Maiden, Mother & Crone, Plug In Baby (the custom animations and camerawork were hype), Runnin' Down a Dream, Steady As She Goes, Sweating Bullets, Woman From Tokyo and more.

I actually thought GH5 was one of the better games in the series.

So, who wants to play tommorow when the DLC comes out? Got no 360 mic sadly, I mainly play Expert Guitar & Bass.

My wallet can't handle this news. If I see a current gen Rock Band announced, with new instruments and we can transfer old DLC and songs, then my life would be forfeit. I would be living in my basement playing it nonstop.
Kind of wish I had a 360 to play tomorrow, sold mine though :S
If you've been with us, you should definitely support HMX.
I know I am. I'm trying to get my console back online so I can buy Microsoft Bananabucks as we speak.

The only reason I still keep my 360 around is Rock Band. This is pretty awesome.
Ehh it was a day 1 white 360, didnt have HDMI out or wifi, I got lucky that I got $100 for it lol.
I should be able to, I should at least have an Xplorer where I'm staying at. I usually play bass.
I won't have any other DLC since this will be on the 360 I gave to someone, and I deleted the 40 gigs of Rock Band to prepare getting a new 360 for myself to re-dl all my RB content for.
This has been a pretty awesome day after a shitty week!
Also, an interesting fact from the livestream is that Rock Band still has UUs in the six digits every month. They couldn't say the specific number since another company got the numbers for them.
Dang, to think at least 100,000 different people log into Rock Band each month makes me think the interest is still there for DLC/next-gen Rock Band 4. I wonder if this counts the people (like me) that only really play RB3 offline now to play custom songs (C3 is awesome).

Subete no aware
I wonder if this is a legacy deal they had or something. It just seems really random anyway.
It's not hard to believe. Harmonix did a fantastic job of keeping the community engaged with the game with the DLC schedule, so there was always something new for players to try out. Being 100% on top of the DLC aspect of the game from day 1 is one of the biggest reasons why it was destined to have a better retention than Guitar Hero, despite the generally larger sales for that series.

This is great news, especially if they start to the DLC up again.
I only got into the franchise in September (well, I had Blitz and around £30 worth of songs) with RB3 and the full band kit from the original and the keyboard, and I love it. Guitar Hero II was fun, but RB3 is in a different league for me.
The DLC has been a case of "oh, I have a bit of change in my PSN wallet, may as well get a song or two with it.", and it'd be great if they can get some newer songs in, as well as some classics that never made it.

There's a 2014 song in there, and two of the bands (Foo Fighters and A7X) have been fairly friendly previously to music games licensing them.

Getting "Anyway You Want It" back from RB2 would be nice as well. And if they can't re-license the album version, the brilliant 1980 houston live version woud suffice!.

None of the Journey songs have relicensed. I wouldn't put much hope into getting back any of their songs

Anyone know where I can find an affordable GH guitar? Does Gamestop still sell used ones?

Makes me glad I bought "Don't Stop Believing" before it got taken down then.

I never understood why GH had the spastic DLC schedule it did.
Seems like the perfect time to ask - I'll be having a party in the next few weeks and wanted to try 7 player RB3 for the first time. I have the following gear:
GH: World Tour guitar (with 2 USB ports on the dongle)
GH2 guitar
GH:WT drums
RB3 keyboard
GH:WT microphone
What else do I need to get some 7 player action going on my PS3? I only have 2 USB ports so I'm guessing I'll need a 4 port dongle? Will any type work or do I need a specific one?
Also, the other 2 microphones - would it be easier to get a pair of singstar mics (I'm pretty sure they used to have 2 mics on the one usb cord?) or should I look round for 2 cheap GH/RB mics? No idea what's compatible but I'm guessing someone from RB GAF will. Thanks

Didn't Beatles get the full album runs of both Sgt. Pepper's and Abbey Road?
I mean, I know there are loads more great Beatles songs, but I think having those two full albums probably makes Beatles Rock Band one of the best supported music games that ever happened.
It just seemed like different production styles. Activision liked to announce DLC a month in advance, often from the same label at a time, etc. Very 'clumped' releases, that were often ready to go far in advance.
Harmonix often ran up to the wire on releases, two of them were even pulled in the hours before the announcement, so we ended up with two songs being pulled at the last second creating a single-song week that almost broke their streak.
