there are so many other songs I would prefer by them... alas... the song will likely be Irresistible for me
as for the others, some of them I don't hate, but none of them are stuff that I find to be worth $2, perhaps a sale down the line.

My Songs Know What You Did in the Dark and Uma Thurman are the only FOB songs I want from here on out.
I would like those 2 and Immortals.

Never thought I'd see a track by The Weeknd in Rock Band before some of the acts that I've been waiting for literally from day 1.
Getting more tracks from Walk The Moon and Fall Out Boy is depressing and kinda signals that some of the dlc I've had my fingers crossed for never coming. My dream dlc has always been The Strokes - Is This It full album.
Can't Feel My Face is a fun song and will undoubtedly be a hit for my Rock Band parties, but HMX's aparent aversion to modern indie/alternative rock is really disappointing.

How can you say Harmonix has an aversion to modern indie/alternative when they released Beck, Cold War Kids and BØRNS two weeks ago?

I mean as far as the entire history of Rock Band dlc.
Like the fact that there was never any Beck dlc before Dreams.
I love a wide range of stuff so I've bought tons of dlc, but I've always felt they've done a poor job of getting dlc for music that was made within a couple years whatever games release.
They've done a lot more current stuff for Rock Band 4 dlc but its mainly been pop and radio friendly stuff.
to be fair, one of those sells much better than the other
I'm hoping next week against all odds we get christmas pack 02 including blink 182's I won't be home for christmas.

That's true, makes me wonder what sone of the dlc bestsellers are, there is such a wide range of stuff.
i'd love to see a best sellers list as well as a most profitable list as I doubt every song costs the same to license for the game.
1. Beatles
The Who
Metallica
Boston
Disturbed
No Doubt
Foo Fighters
Police
RHCP
Blink 182
(they didn't disclose the order of non-Beatles)
oh I know we won't get one, doesn't change the fact I would love to see one lol.

Beatles aren't DLC are they?
*Looks at amount of Foo Fighters songs I have* Yeeeah I can imagine FF being pretty profitable for them

The Beatles: Rock Band got Rubber Soul, Sgt. Pepper, and Abbey Road as album DLC, plus All You Need is Love as a single.
I didn't buy any of them, Rock Band platform or bust.
Tsss, Abbey Road Medley is the best thing I've played in Rock Band, platform or not.

Abbey Road Medley is amazing. It is too bad we won't see any Beatles stuff transfer over.

I would've bought the Beatles DLC in the past few months if I could play it on Xbone in some way. I even picked up a physical copy of Abbey Road a few months ago.

Or The Beatles Rock Band: The (Pete) Best Edition.
I fully support that. I need that Everybody's Got Something to Hide Except for Me and My Monkey.
Introducing our first full album DLC for Rock Band 4...

I don't know why TBRB went with Within You Without You/Tomorrow Never Knows instead of just the original Tomorrow Never Knows.

I imagine Apple Records probably dictated what songs they could use, and one of the catches was they had to use a remix off of the "Love" album.
The original Within You Without You is DLC. I think they went with the remix (made for Cirque du Soleil) because it fit a music game better.
Tomorrow Never Knows was probably because they had to choose between Revolver and Rubber Soul and Rubber Soul won out.

Just got a Roland TD-1KV in today, and figured out the nest of cables and devices needed to plug it into my PS4. It's great! Feels way more stable than the old Rock Band 2 kit, and might even be quieter in some ways. I still need to figure out the right setup (snare/hi-hat crossing is still troublesome), and I'm getting the occasional ghosting/crosstalk/whatever (basically, sometimes I'll hit the blue cymbal and the yellow will also trigger, or vice-versa). There are enough different ways to tweak all this stuff that I'm not totally sure what to do, but whatever.
On the flipside, I could in theory record footage of the game as well as record my laptop screen (which displays all my hits using eProDrums) and figure out where I'm missing notes on songs I'm close to FCing. So that's neat.
EDIT: also thanks to all the Beatles talk, I wondered if the MIDI pro adapter even worked on The Beatles: Rock Band. It turns out it does! (for drums, anyways) Gonna have to try that at some point.

Oh shit The Weeknd! Didn't see that coming. I'll probably pick up Ex's and Oh's too.

Really thinking about getting some Roland drums. Can someone help me make sense of the current situation?
Xbox 360 - supports edrums with Mad Catz Midi pro adapter? (My best choice because of customs.)
XBONE - Screwed. Thanks Microsoft! As always, your consumer friendliness is legendary!
PS3 - Edrums work with Midi Pro Adapter.
PS4 = Edrums work with Midi Pro Adapter from PS3?
Is that about right?

You've got it. I've got MIDI drums up and running on PS4, no new hardware required. The user accounts stuff seems a little fiddly but is fine otherwise.

Yes. The only other thing to keep in mind is if you buy the TD-1 (or the entry-level models from Alesis or Yamaha), you'll only get USB MIDI outs, which means you'll need more equipment:
drumset --USB--> computer --USB--> USB-MIDI adapter --MIDI--> MIDI pro adapter
Higher-level Roland sets (TD-4 and up) and older entry-level sets (HD-1, HD-3) have a standard MIDI output, and can be plugged into the MIDI pro adapted directly.

Some adapter-combinations seem to cause trouble, too. Just curious: do the IONs have a regular MIDI-out or is it USB?

I'm leaning towards the Roland TD-1KV. Would that need the extra midi adapter?
Never mind. Reading comprehension fail.

Lowest-level Roland brain with built in MIDI-out is the TD-15. Yamaha seem to have dropped their entry-levels with MIDI-out though? (I dunno, I have the DTX500 brain that has one, the new DTX502 doesn't seem to)
The TD-11 series has standard MIDI out, and I think the TD-15 kits have been discontinued. If they ever decided to make dedicated PS4/Xbox One MIDI Pro Adapters I suspect they'd have to add USB input, but I don't see it happening.

Hamronix is doing an AMA on Reddit
Setlists and Practice Mode are coming, online play is discussed, and exports are coming in January in order of Rock Band, Rock Band 2, and Lego Rock Band!

Not thrilled at the priority list, but I know I'm like super in the minority on this

Right, got confused there, they look so similar. The 15 still shows up on Roland's German site, the international one has it discontinued indeed.
Quoted for top of the page. January for all of them is awesome, was expecting a much broader rollout.
Here's the blog post
Now, about that export, SCEE...

Thank god they seem to realize that exports are everybody's main concern.
Also very excited to hear practice mode drops in January. I'll gladly give up a week or two of DLC to get the GOAT setlist back.

"It's hard to make the music licensing gods align in the exact way that they do at any given time, so it's unlikely we'll be able to offer an RB1 throwback pack, for example, with all the songs from RB1. That said, it's entirely possible that individual songs from the soundtrack will make a return as standalone DLC."
And in the blog post they mention that there may be a week or two in January that doesn't have new songs as DLC.
So potentially some RB1 songs as DLC in January for those who missed it?

I asked them to fix the surround sound. I know most are probably tired of hearing me bitch about it, but it the biggest deal breaker for RB4 for me.
this game used to sound awesome when you'd crank it on a 5.1 system. Now it just sounds so flat.
