Offspring pack is up people.

Well, the pack and Gone Away are up, but the other two songs are missing. :-/ Think I'm going to hold out for the individual songs so I can delete one if I don't like it.

TWO STRIKES HMX... YOU GET ONE MORE!!!

Still a better track record than Neversoft with GH though. I am more forgiving with little messups like this, as opposed to major screw ups like most of GH III and its handling of DLC.

I have long since bailed out on Neversoft... I just expected better of HMX that they are going now. AC/DC is the big thing for me. Everything else is just small mis-steps to be honest

Uhm. I'm downloading "Pretty Fly" separately...You have to download it from the Xbox store.

Yep, it's there now along with Gone Away. Self Esteem is still not up as a singular download though. They must be having some probs.

People routinely download from the music store? It's great and all for browsing the catalog but if I know what I want I don't see any reason to not buy it from the Marketplace, since I can queue up songs and have them background download.

Hey, none of GH3's DLC was late. And, you know, GH3 is still awesome.

I agree, if the music store had the background download stuff maybe I would use it

I check the music store because it lists difficulty. Since I play with casuals a lot, I don't want anything that is insanely hard. Also, once I've bought a song in the music store, I cancel the download, pick another song, cancel. When I'm all done, I go back to dash and do my real downloading there, where I can queue them up and turn off the system if I like.
 
Well, I guess it's good that by the time I have the cash to afford the Offspring tracks, they should hopefully be problem free and up on the marketplace.
 
I finally ran out of MS points. :lol

I will wait until the end of the week to download the offspring pack and the 1 missing song? (I downloaded like 6 songs earlier today so im guessing I already have all the songs outside the offspring pack)
 
Self esteem and pretty fly dont have the litle bit of music when you click on them on the menu. Strange. Still dled the pack, and Push it
 
The show debuted in syndication on September 13, 1993 and ended first-run episodes on May 25, 2004 (although its final airing in syndication was on August 27, 2004, a rerun episode). The show was renewed for the 2004-2005 TV season, but Lake decided not to continue with the show, opting to spend more time with her family. Sony did not issue any comments when the show was canceled.

Heres a nicer shot of my rock band dude. Joey Grecco lead singer of The World's Greatest Tag Team. :D I have to admit i love the website now more since i learned how to get hi rez shots
 
I'm going to have to get a bigger fridge for my 360 soon. I've got like 4 gigs left and I have over 7.5 gigs of Rock Band content.

The Offspring pack has crowd vocals? Awesome, hope they keep on doing this with DLC.

A lot of the recent DLC has.

She Sells Sanctuary does... I don't think I'm good enough/recall it anywhere else.

Sorrow from Bad Religion also has the crowd singing along I think, and so does Stop!.
 
And now the individual members of Bassai Dai

Otis-422x281_0_avatar_420.jpg

The Bassist
Michael-422x281_0_avatar_420.jpg

The lead singer
Lola-422x281_0_avatar_420.jpg

The Drummer

And for some reason, the pic of my guitarist didnt render properly. Soon the full band pic should be available.
 
I'll probably pick up the whole Offspring pack despite Gone Away looking SUPER easy on guitar. Their old work is great so hopefully it will still be mad fun to sing. Apart from that I'm picking up Stop!. I've been dying for some Against Me! in Rock Band for awhile now. Thrash Unreal next please :)
 
Question:

In Rock Band 2, if I create a band with 2 people but just want to play by myself for a while, can I continue the tour with just 1 person, or do you need all band members present to continue in the tour.

Also, I think I read somewhere that band members are no longer locked to a specific instrument. Is that true? A singer who wants a change can move to guitar?

Thanks

You can move characters around now. You can even have them temp join a friends band online. I keep swapping my characters around every so often.

You can do World Tour with 1-4 players with any band at any time. Doesn't matter how many you start with. And any of those players can be online or offline.

And yes, your characters can play any instrument now.
 
Never thought i'd say this - but i actually enjoyed Pretty Fly a lot more on drums than i did Self Esteem. All three of them are great though - awesome dlc week !
 
just loaded RB to get the songs before I play tomorrow.

Got Offspring but the megadeath stuff, She Sells sanctuary and some other stuff arn't showing on the RB store but are in the marketplace ????

Looks like the character models for 70 bucks are made out of that gritty glittery shit that that WOW figurine that guy bought is made out of.
Part of the problem with the WoW figures is that with those, they're making polygon-for-polygon, texel-for-texel copies of models that are pretty much N64-level.
Rock Band models are better quality, so the figures should look better. They'll still have the same basic reflective qualities, though.

Fuck. What the fuck. sorry RB2, GH:WT wins. I can't have country in my favorite game.
Yes, I'm actually going that far.
GH:WT has the Eagles. The Eagles are country, not southern rock... country, period.

You can't get the master to Paranoid since it doesn't exist. With RttH, it was recorded in 1981 and was remastered in 1998 – excuse my extremely naive reasoning, but if the Who can have a suitable master of Leaving Here from 1965, then surely Iron Maiden in '98 can have a suitable master of RttH?
CD remasters are often done from old stereo tapes, so a recent remaster doesn't mean anything. If something has recently been "remixed and remastered", (like the complete Megadeth catalog) that does mean that it's almost certainly good to go in Rock Band.
saunderez said:
Well Singstar has recently got a bunch of Queen tracks, it's not really a stretch at all if there are masters available.
I was under the impression that Singstar didn't use multi-tracks. I've never noticed the vocal track cutting out in that game. They could just use CD rips if that's so.
JonathanEx said:
And as I said before, Bohemian's master just needs to be cooked in an oven before being played.
Baking makes the original tape playable briefly, but then it completely destroys the tape. The idea is to make a copy onto better tape while it's playable, but there are no guarantees. Tapes that need to be baked range from mildly sticky to piles of goo.

The PS3 goes into the PS3 store once you buy from the Rockband music store allowing you to background download no matter where you buy from, so i always use the Rockband store. Especially after buying "Living on the Corner of Dude and Catastrophe" from the PS3 store (due to the Rockband store not updating in time) and having it not work. Checking the Rockband music store revealed the "Already Purchased" error message which wouldn't have allowed me to buy the broken song.
 
It usually shows up in the RB store as well. I can start downloading during my midday Thursday break if I use the RB store, but have to wait till I get back late at night if I use the PS store.

My character, Josef Redbeard, lead guitarist for Josef the Terrible.

Not the best picture I am waiting on a good one. Also I'm holding out to buy him a sweet guitar and the higher end spike clothing.
 
I've failed twice to gold star both Pretty Fly and Self Esteem. My self esteem is DEAD.

Side note; Self Esteem makes me feel like I'm 14, and I missed notes cos I couldn't help singing :$
 
I wish The Screaming Trees song was later so that Josh Homme would be connected with it...maybe that's just me wishing for more QotSA, some Desert Sessions, or Kyuss.

This one's for the Singles soundtrack nerds. Funny, I was just fantasizing how awesome a Temple of the Dog full-album download would be.
 
Another EoDM album? Awesome.

Desert Sessions is something that I would consider a long shot. And by long shot I mean impossible.

And Temple of the Dog would be too much for the game. The sheer awesomeness of Chris Cornell and Eddie Vedder singing Hunger Strike would overload the servers.
