I'll be honest.

NEVER heard of them. Harmonix, great way to kick off the month where you're relaunching Rock Band across Europe by sticking up DLC of a metal band only ever heard in America.
 
I really wish they put up Phil Collins "Easy Lover" as DLC. I would gladly break my drums playing to that...

Also they should put up "In The Air Tonight" I could dress up as a monkey and eat some chocolate for the first three minutes till it gets to the drum part. Oh, and no I dont care if there is no guitar in it.

Yes...

I'd happily download some Katy Perry, Avril or Mily Cryus at this point :(

I may not be a big metal fan, but I'd rather be beaten to death with produce over having those "artists" in the game. So I'm okay with this weeks DLC.

The song failed to get girls making out at a god damn LGBT nightclub. That's how fucking bad it is. I still refuse to explain why I was there though.

God, I hate that song. I don't think it's going to grow on me, either.

Just listening on YouTube now. For some reason, I don't remember this, despite playing GH2 inside out on 360.

You were probably just too intimidated by it. It has by far the highest overall difficulty of any song in that game.
I made it to the wall of notes solo section in Jordan, but I failed Six almost instantly every time. It was GH2's Cowboys From Hell.

Stop... Stop!! Lets not talk about it again!!

Erm... There should put more UK bands in... The Zutons would be good

- Always Right Behind You

or Killanmangiro by Babyshambles

Kaiser Chiefs, Morrissey (Everyday Is Like Sunday), Manic Street Preachers, or The Delays would be good to.
 
JonathanEx said:
Ah, I'm guessing it was under bonus songs then? I played through them all, but only once for a few of them. That'd explain it.

Yeah, part of the bonus song Trilogy of Terror along with Jordan and The Light That Blinds.

No, I'm not touching that either.

AND IT WAS A KARAOKE NIGHT TOO

Quite frankly I was disapointed. I mean, the two girls singing it didn't even make out. I got further with one of the girls who sung it than the other one did!
 
THE METAL TRACKS FROM THE BAND WE DONT CARE ABOUT ARE NOW AVAILABLE... (well they are from the dashboard anyway)...

...STOP TALKNG ABOUT THAT NIGHT
 
Yeah, I've said enough to scare people. And myself. I didn't want to do the second post, but I just had to :P


So, uhm, shall we do Euro whining again? That never gets old.
 
Which one?

FUCK THE PRICE?!?
FUCK THE RELEASE DATE?!?!
FUCK THE PS2/PS3/Wii RELEASE DATE?!?!
FUCK THE LACK OF EURO BAND DLC?!?!?

Cause I'm with you on all of the above really

I am going to complain that “I Believe In A Thing Called Love” by The Darkness is still not available as DLC.

It would be the most epic ever song. It is great for all the players. It would be great for people looking to gold star songs, and would be a challenge for both the drummer and the guitarist. There are fantastic guitar solos throughout as well!!!

Even looking at the video makes you wonder why it is not in the game. The four guys are basically mocking me at the 2:50 mark!!!

Also, I dont sing much, but I would sing like Justin Hawkins in this song and happily not speak of days after due to f'n up my whole mouth!!!!!
 
Eww, The Darkness.

Even though I hate them, I still wish we'd get more British bands. I don't see why they don't just outsource development to another dev to make some notecharts for a different audience. Harmonix clearly have no interest in doing it themselves, so get somebody else to chart Arctic Monkeys songs for me.
 
Sorry if this has been covered already, but Amazon is listing the 360 bundle as having a wired guitar. Has this been confirmed either way? If true I'll have to rethink my plastic instrument buy/sell strategy again :lol.
 
I still say we need Super Furry Animals. Making Americans (or, for that matter, any sensible person... not to imply that Americans are sensible as this is quite obviously not true for the vast majority) sing in Welsh would please me greatly. Their many, many English songs, as well, have some excellent choices, but it's just not the same.

This is the appropriate solution for a lack of European support.

At the same time I feel at least slightly compelled to point out that many of the most influential and popular bands in the US (and for that matter, in the game) are English. By my count about a quarter of the bands on-disc are British though they were still chosen for their popularity in America.

Non-English regions should definitely have native-language DLC or localized versions. With the time it's been taking them they could have localized them by now.

One final thing: you got Oasis DLC. Nobody in the US ever has nor ever will give a thin, watery shit about Oasis (and if you're American and you do, piss off) and this is the way it should rightly be.

While I realize that there is plenty of evidence to cite that Americans did care about Oasis and bought their albums in large quantities, they never managed to make much of a cultural impact and definitely not to the same degree as they did in the UK. The fact that they were largely mediocre and uninteresting is something I blame on the British music press and the general nature of hype much like Franz Ferdinand and The Arctic Monkeys.

I'd forgotten that the Giant Enemy Crab made a cameo in that video.

And I'm pissed that the drums are wireless. Wireless controllers are always annoying, (batteries FTL) but unless you can calibrate for input lag per-player, this is awful.

The calm before the storm?
 
Has anybody played the new songs yet then? Fairly sure I won't be buying them (I still haven't beaten a single song in the Dragonforce GH:3 pack, so I've got enough humiliation lately) but if the songs aren't crazy difficult I may check them out.

I don’t even believe the storm is coming any more. I am ready to come out of the shelter without my umbrella and hold a metal rod mockingly up in the air as I don’t believe any harm will come to be. I would be surprised if I was blown away when (or if) HMX open the floodgates come the end of the year.

Whoa, that’s a lot of metaphor!!

Indeed, what's all that meta for anyways?

As someone who's waiting for a coffin, the flippance with which all of you are so bitterly disappointed in DLC choices while most of you are a week away from an ENTIRELY NEW ROCK BAND GAME has caused me to break three separate items in my office.

Just be glad you're not in Europe. This is all we have to look forward to.
 
Looks like an above-average week chart-wise. I'll know for sure in a bit.
That said... For the love of God, Harmonix, no more songs with prominent double bass, please. Unless you're planning on programming in the option of going 1:1, just FUCKING STOP.
 
Chiron is a challenge. I beat it without really worrying about it, but I only got 4 stars. My hand still isn't at 100% IRON strength, it aches after playing for 30 seconds.

So when will we see u2 DLC?

Any hints from the devs? or is it a GH thing?

No one has U2 yet..

The band are currently signed under the Interscope label in the US. Interscope have people like No Doubt, Queens Of The Stone Age, Wolfmother, Yeah Yeah Yeahs and Nine Inch Nails signed up under their label, and they all have shown up in RB or GH so there is a chance to see u2 in both games right now.

I will explain this is GIF form for those that are confused....

This is how Europe feels....

Not sure I'd use that one since the guy is clearly getting hurt for doing something obviously stupid. This makes it his own fault for being and idiot. This is not at all the case with Europe. They are simply being penalized for not being American when a product is developed by Americans. The same thing often happens to both of us when Japan is the one in charge of developing it.

So, when's Mother 3 finally coming out in the US again? :D

Thank God there's a crack team of wannabe otaku translating it for you. We don't even get that!

Nice thanks. i would dig a greatest hits DLC pack. Heck they have a big enough catalogue to to a full disc release.
