Back in the day, it was hilarious seeing my stoic goth bassist saying Cartman's "Mum mum mum muh~."

If you already bought them on PS3, can you still download and use these songs in RB4 after they are delisted?
(don't have RB4 yet, still waiting for all of the exports...)

Even the Stevie Nicks songs? Strange, seeing how Stop Draggin' My Heart around hasn't been delisted and that was released before. I need to get the Styx pack while I'm at it, and I guess I'll listen to the singles I haven't got.

Stevie Nicks didn't write Stop Dragging, Tom Petty and Mike Campbell did.

You need to "buy" the PS4 versions before they do. I think.
Stevie Nicks or someone involved in both Mac and Nicks solo career probably not signing up again, while Petty owns Stop Draggin'.
Styx is also a band with continual legal issues.

All the Styx songs we got were written by Tommy Shaw. Guess he changed his mind about music games, or he wanted more dough.
Bizarrely, Band Hero managed to get the DeYoung-penned Mr. Roboto. It was also one of the few tracks from that game that didn't export.
The Styx songs were also re-records (I think you know that, just stating for the thread) to deal with their legal issues with DeYoung. It could be that they're on their way to repairing relations with DeYoung and having DeYoung-removed versions of Styx songs would be a sticking point. DeYoung also started touring as DeYoung and of the Music of Styx since those songs came out, so maybe the situation has changed since then due to that as well.

I hate to be the one to tell you...
The EU RB1 bonus songs aren't included in the export. And apparently aren't available as DLC in Europe.

Individual song patching is the real feature here. Quite the list so far.
Euuuurrrgh. Licensing. I hope they come as DLC, but given how half of them were delisted anyway...
I just want Rock 'n Roll Star in a recent Rock Band game. It's all I've wanted for so many years.

One step forward, two steps out a window.
Edit: Going back to the game after a bit of a break in anticipation for the update and I've finally worked out what irks me about Rock Band. It's the instrument interface, I really hate it.
They posted a screenshot of it
Apparently it requires you to pause the game right when a character blinks

April update now available.
it doesn't seem like it will let me install my coldplay pack on ps4 yet.
*sigh*
I just want to play the scientist on the ps4 >.<;
Installed the April update. How does the EU RB1 export work? Is it in the exports section or does it get added to My Add-Ons?
Also, if you search for "Export" on the EU store it looks like Green Day is close as the item shows for PS3/PS4. I added it to my basket and checked out but when you click "download to PS4" nothing happens

There's some sort of big update happening in the fall, and online is speculated as that big update.

Yep. Supposedly a refresh of the instruments. And I wouldn't be surprised if a wireless module for ions is released.

Saw the leaderboard notes and thought I'd test the leaderboards as they were completely broken for me on XB1 before the April patch. Did a few different things:-
Checked "Newly Acquired" Songs played from the last few weeks of DLC without playing them post patch yet
"Everybody Talks" - pre-patch score uploaded without playing again.
"Zombie" - pre-patch score uploaded without playing again.
"Dreams" - pre-patch score uploaded without playing again.
"Ode To My Family" - pre-patch score uploaded without playing again.
"Figure It Out" - No pre-patch score uploaded yet.
"Thunder & Lightning" - pre-patch score uploaded without playing again.
Entire RB2 Setlist (Still in "Newly Acquired") - No signs of score uploads without replaying them yet.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Replaying songs that I had played before the previous March update that had 100% FC and Gold Star icons on the other hand had much more mixed results.
"My Own Eyes" - FC and Gold Stars registered on song select. Didn't have previous score uploaded pre-patch, set a new high score, uploaded the new score immediately after.
"Wicked Garden" - FC and Gold Stars registered on song select. Didn't have previous score uploaded pre-patch, set a new high score, score uploaded roughly 15 minutes after setting the new score.
"Stop!" - FC and Gold Stars registered on song select. Didn't have previous score uploaded pre-patch, set a new high score, hasn't yet uploaded the new high score (est: 25 Mins after playing and counting).
So yeah, it's seems to be mostly working! Curious as to how the leaderboards are actually updating though as the results so far seemed a bit mixed. I wonder if connecting to the leaderboard servers slowly updates your scores across the board and checks what you've played over the course of the last half a year. Interesting to say the least. I have over 1600 songs so I wonder if that has anything to do with the odd results.

So does the RB1 PS4 export work for anyone in EU? Only heard of people getting this message so far:
Same with me. Fucking LOL.
Edit: oh
Same with me. Fucking LOL.

Wrong, you can download the EU RB1 songs as DLC in Europe. I've done it.

Yeah, shit doesn't work. Fuck off.
Wuh? Please elaborate.
On EU PS4? I've been regularly searching for Rock N Roll Star ever since it went up on the US store and not seen it once

No more Mad Catz logo when starting the game up. :0
Oh yeah, I was talking about Xbox One, but they probably should be there for PS4 too. Though SCEE probably "forgot".
How much are the songs? and do you know if they work on NA RB4/Xone?

If it means I get to the game more quickly, I'll take it.
Just the normal price and for Xbox One they probably do since content is region free.
In b4 the EA logo comes back

No, they're gonna add the Fig logo.

Still can't download the export, even though I own the PS3 pack and it appears under "Exports".
Still buggy?

Yup. A Harmonix rep confirmed on here they have no real priority to fix it either since it won't affect leaderboards. Then there is the achievement cheat too. If your profile is signed onto more than one instrument, it will give you the achievement for the highest difficulty of whatever is being played. I was on expert guitar while my wife was on easy vocals on the same profile and it gave me expert vocal achievements.

I really just want to finish career mode, as I really prefer simple quick play, so if it helps me breeze through faster, and doesn't screw up the leaderboards. I'm gonna try it. So you just start on hard, then pause, and restart on expert? Doesn't doing that completely rest your score?
Also, does finishing career mode make more venues available in quick play? I don't remember.

I can't believe how ridiculous this situation is.
Goddamn comical.
I can't download it. Export is available but when you click on it each song just has three dots next to them.
Only song on the list that's actually available to buy is Wanted... by Bon Jovi but I already own it.
Utter shambles of a game. Continually get server errors on the normal store too.
