I wish they would expand the character creator.
I want to make an accurate Frank Black, and that's impossible when the only options are to make a human skeleton or a buff macho man

I just want to recreate the guy I used in Rock Bands 1, 2, and 3 but the creation options are horrible.
Really, really, miss the features from the character creator, and the lack of venues sucks.

Nothing will top Rock Band 2 in terms of animation IMO. Everything about that game was amazing and I really miss that art style they used. The way the singers weren't always glued to the microphone, the stage effects (for example, the way Epic by Faith No More ended with smoke + lights), and the characters themselves looked fantastic. Also miss the awesome music videos some of the songs had.

The RB1 export appears within RB4. Go to get more songs, exports, and it should be there.
It wasn't visible in the SCEE ingame store for a fair while. If it's not there, search for it on the web store.

I'm kind of shocked right now.
I was so sure that I had exported my Lego Rock Band on 360.
I've been following Rock Band threads forever and just sat idly by while seeing so much talk about it expiring and about the people that missed it, knowing that I safely had it exported.
I just realized today that I don't. What? No!

I figured it might be "Radioactive" since Harmonix already had their hands on the stems from Disney Fantasia.
I'm too lazy to do any matching up myself, but I wonder how much overlap there is between RB and Fantasia at this point.

You missed Burning Down the House, FyreWulf.

Surprised that we still don't have more info on the expansion or the ION drum adapter.
expansion details still MIA but we do have a pic of the ION adapter
"Officially licensed by Microsoft, the Rock Band™ 4 Wired Legacy Adapter for Xbox One is exclusively compatible with Rock Band 4 and these specific legacy controllers:
Rock Band 3 Midi PRO-Adapter for Xbox 360
ION Drum Rocker for Xbox 360
Wired legacy Rock Band peripherals*
* The adapter is still in development, but Harmonix and PDP are working together to achieve compatibility across the entire wired product line.

Eh, I'm not a Who fan. I did give it a listen and it sounds like it would be a great drums song (of course, it's The Who), but I don't play drums. Maybe if the PDP drums have good quality to them, I'll buy a set.
How can you not want The Who's The Real Me? Just listen to it.
If we got "The Real..." anything though, I would want FNM's "The Real Thing."

Playing Devil's Advocate here, the guitar part doesn't sound great. Of course, I don't want the song in the game because of its guitar part.
I don't hate radioactive, but it's far from the best imagine dragons has to offer.
the top song by them that I would want is
bleeding out
I'd love it on vocals, and while the other parts wouldn't be super exciting they still wouldn't be to bad to play which would be fine because I would sing along with it

Woo, first ever bass FC of Radioactive! The bass chart is so fucking bizarre. Bass wubs that are all over the shop in terms of beat and tempo.

pop songs can have some fucked up bass charts
'alright it's a steady 4/4. i can do this..'
'wait what the fuck triplets, i don't even hear - oh fuck, they're off the main beat. help'
'fast strumming? this a fucking fruityloops sample on repeat, i can't.. NO FUCK YOUR BLAST TRIPLETS I HAD THAT FC DAMNIT'
one of the Gaga tracks has a bass track that goes all over the place. It's almost as irritating to play as Fly Like An Eagle's Guitar chart. Almost
yeah it seems pretty boring but these karaoke hits are what pays the bills and gets us the other songs, that's how i look at it

Well, that's this weeks DLC played through. Here's my first playthrough scores:
"Radioactive" - Imagine Dragons
Expert Guitar: 58,844 | 100% Notes Hit (FC) | Gold Stars | Tier 1
Expert Bass: 111,478 | 100% Notes Hit (FC) | Gold Stars Tier 4
"Never Too Late" - Three Days Grace
Expert Guitar: 97,555 | 100% Notes Hit (FC) | Gold Stars | Tier 2
Expert Bass: 75,146 | 100% Notes Hit (FC) | Gold Stars | Tier 1
"Never Too Late" is a really fun tier 2 guitar song. Plenty of hammer-on and pull-offs up and down the board with some enjoyable chord strumming, easily the highlight of the week. I'd only really reccomend "Radioactive" for party play though as it's fairly boring outside of the bizzare bass chart.

SOL for wired 360 drums. You'll have to wait for the PDP adapter.
You may want to source RB2, Beatles, or RB3 wireless drums anyway - that wired set doesn't have the ability to expand to Pro later if you're interested in doing that
if you have the digital version, MOST people (only seen one that it works for) are unable to even start the game. when you click on it, it just crashes. it's unbelievable to me that this is still an issue. i understand this is a beta dashboard but when you can't even play a game that should be a HIGH priority issue for MS to get fixed.
Yikes. OK,I'll wait then.
sad news for our British rock banders.. i'm pretty sure all your DLC just doubled in price from the GBP freefall.
edit: this a glib remark about previous price changes and the brexit, i guess i have to put an actual disclaimer that harmonix has not actually literally changed the prices in the store.

Soo, what are we getting this week? Hold The Line? Or Africa?

It better be Hold the Line. It's the better song from both a gameplay and musical standpoint.

I'd give the slight edge to Africa, but if it's Hold The Line, I'm not complaining.

But not from an "I know this song" standpoint, which for many people is just as, if not more important.
Baron von Loathsome

Maybe it's just my area, but I've never heard Africa anywhere except when I look the song up on YouTube. I've been hearing Hold the Line at parties or on the radio as long as I can remember.

IMO, in the US "Africa" is one of those songs that everyone remembers from the 80s, up at the level of Hungry Like the Wolf or Everybody Wants to Rule the World. Hold the Line is good, but not at that level. If you want a quick example of the difference in popularity, on Youtube (Toto actually has an official channel), Africa has 111 million views. Hold the Line has 11 million.
