Hey gang,

Next week brings you a 3 pack from Coheed and Cambria, the first pack from one of the most requested band on the forums! The past singles have always been a big hit so hopefully you dig these three tracks from their new album. Also joining us will be the first track from The Violent Femmes in the RB library, another track for the female vocalists from Siouxsie & The Banshees and the first Supergrass track in RB proper (their last was only available in Lego Rock Band)! Enjoy!

Available on Xbox 360 and Wii (April 20) and PlayStation 3 system (April 22):

Coheed and Cambria – “Guns of Summer” +
Coheed and Cambria – “Here We Are Juggernaut”
Coheed and Cambria – “The Broken” +
Siouxsie & The Banshees – “Peek-a-Boo”
Supergrass – “Sun Hits the Sky” +
The Violent Femmes – “American Music”

Yay, more Coheed. I hear the new album is pretty great.
 
FUCK YES!! COHEED and VIOLENT FEMMES!

Amazing!

This also means we're never getting Pantera. :( They've missed three opportunities for adverDLC with them now.

It's a lot more likely that they have one of their big singles in RB3 and the pack will follow that.

The wait for more Elton John is as painful to me as waiting for Pantera is for you. I can sympathize.
I actually don't even really like Pantera and don't know more than a handful of songs outside of the Vulgar Display album. I just wanted some metal, and I remember hearing the Cowboys album a lot at work when I was back in high school and worked in a comic shop.

Why is everyone continuing to be surprised that I love classic pop rock? LOOK AT THE AVATAR.

I kept my wish secret, muddy funster, so Dave wouldn't whine about guitar being charted as a piano.

Rocketman plz, or at least the Me First and the Gimme Gimme's version.
 
Nope fuck this shit. HMX you have screwed me for the last time. Until PS3 users get some sort of RBN i am not spending another cent on your fucking product. Grren Day RB, pre-order cancelled, and no more DLC. Every week i hope for some awesome DLC, and now i see that my 2 favourite bands, Underoath and The Devil Wears Prada (laugh all you want gaf) are on RBN, with, wait for it, MY FAVOURITE songs that i have been requestion since who knows when, and i cant even play them? You wanna split for fanbase HMX, especially when your genre is dieing in the ass? Fine fuck you too. Do it right next time.

*disclaimer: Once its up im back. Just sick of being fucked around and having shitty DLC, while i miss out on my fav songs.

Buy a 360.
 
I have sat back and been stuffed around enough by this company. Sure there product is awesome, but just because my 360 stuffed up, i purchased it on PS3. And i have been cool with delayed launches, delayed DLC, delayed patches, delayed ION EVERYTHING. But now i see my favourite songs, you know, the gameplay of this game, being stuffed around, with probably zero chance of getting to play them, unless HMX deems fit, NO! Fuck HMX. They can either do it right next time, or not at all. This is not what you do. In a genre that is crumbling to bits, why do this? So i will stand tall this time. They aint getting another dime from me. They have now joined the Activision ranks.
 
It's not totally their fault that Sony doesn't have a user-based creation system in place to handle the RBN stuff. A lot of the reason RBN is so easy on 360 is because there's already that XNA backbone set up for handling distribution and payment and all of that.

Hasn't Microsoft been actively working with them on all this as well?

Plus Harmonix just don't give a shit about PS3. I mean, seriously. Let's not pretend they're trying.

Yeah true, its also not their fault the 360 was built so shitty. I mean, had mine not wrecked i would of had it for the 360. But after 500 DLC, RB1,2,LEGO,Beatles ION and mods, i am not buying them again. Arrggh, it just makes me so mad. I was OK with Senses Fail and A Day To Remember, but now this? So nope, stuff them. Work with Sony and build an interface, than tell me about it. Because at the moment, this is just wrong. I seriously think they dont even try. I mean, i sat through every delay, and was half OK with it, but now your stuffing around with gameplay, and thats my limit.

Yes, they have. Microsoft has a serious interest in HMX. It's apparent when they've showcased their multi-platform titles at E3 for the past 2 years.

Aspiring said:
...work with Sony...
:lol :lol

From what I've heard, Sony is the hardest of the three to work with/on.
 
Well, I am happy for more Coheed but not really for new songs because I haven't heard any yet. I would've preferred two new songs and one from their last album or something. Oh well, hooray for adver-dlc...

So we're finally getting violent femmes and it's not blister in the sun, kiss off, or add it up? Boo.

That's what I'm saying. It's great we're getting American Music, though. As far as Siouxsie and the Banshees songs go really wish we'd get Cities in Dust.

OK, odd question, but when was the last time you took your tampon out?

You're acting like the rest of GAF, and it doesn't look good on you.
 
I play on PS3 and it doesn't matter. Stop taking everything so seriously. Yeah, we don't have RBN and that sucks, but everything else is petty.

Waiting a month for RB2? Was that really that hard? And Microsoft paid them a ton of money for that one month exclusive deal.

Delayed DLC? It's delayed by like a day and a half because that's when Sony feels like putting content up.

Delayed patches? What was the rush to get the patch out? RBN isn't happening on PS3 (now, anyway), so there was no rush. They probably had like two guys do it over the course of two months or something.

RBN is not on PS3 because Sony has a fuck-all attitude. There was an interview posted in this thread that explains why. If users wanted to sell their songs it'd be a bitch to publish. So Harmonix is willing to do it for them after a month. You'll still probably get your shitty emo songs, so stop whining.

RBN will probably be in RB3 for PS3 anyway, through some service on their website or something convoluted and stupid. But it will probably be there, in it's piece of shit halfassed hackneyed glory.

Oh and the reason the ION and the stupid stage kit didn't come out on PS3 is because there is like a 70-30 split between the platforms. The reason they don't give a shit about PS3 is because PS3 owners don't give a shit. You're the minority in a minority. Stop bitching.

Well i dont know. Maybe. But still, i am sure they would not be against it. I read that they are hoping for RB3 to have some sort of featured RBN in RB3. If thats the case, i will be back than. Until than i am not even going to touch the case for this game. I am just upset. I mean, even if they made some sort of tool, that allowed the creators to develop the songs for PS3, and than HMX released it on the store for them. I mean, even WITH the 30 day exclusive period, i would not care. But they have done NOTHING.

:lol Thanks for making me laugh. Yeah i know i am pissed. I mean, probably over reacting, but still. The worst part is this is MS's fault. If the 360 was built tough i would be playing on my 360.
 
Also megalol at advert-DLC Coheed & Cambria. Someone called that in this thread. RB DLC is so boring now compared to last year and especially the year before that.

Jesus, shut up. They're not doing anything, but it's not by choice. What the fuck do you want them to do?

PSN ISN'T THEIR INFRASTRUCTURE TO CHANGE.

RBN WOULDN'T HAVE HAPPENED IF XNA HADN'T EXISTED

And that's it. That's all the explanation you need, and judging by your posts, it's the only explanation you deserve.
 
ratcliffja said:

Yeah. I like the song they picked, but would have liked more.

As for Peek a Boo, that's the most bizarre song choice in a long time. It has no guitar or bass. What drums there is are all over the place. Vox will probably be a bitch.

I've liked the Coheed that's been in the game before so more is good.
 
In that interview that was posted a few pages back, they already confirmed that RBN will be included with RB3. Whether or not MS's 30-day exclusivity window on tracks will still be in effect is unknown.

I'm going to assume you're stupid and just spelled the word touchy wrong.

But am I really touchy? Naw son. You're the one blubbering about a corporation not respecting you because your favorite HotTopic bands have songs on a service you can't have through technological limitations. So you want them to do the impossible and create a service out of nothing.

wat

tl;dr (A five sentence paragraph is long, I wouldn't put it past you) - douche, aren't you? :lol
 
On a topic people actually care about... I'm curious how the drums for American Music will look. Technically, Victor just played brushes on a snare, tambourine, and cymbal, so the main shuffle is all on a snare. I'm curious if they'll put the light hits on yellow, or only author the strong strikes, or make it all a red roll, or what. Probably the first.

Plus, that is the single most harmonies-based song the Femmes ever did, so it better be harmonies-ready.

I'd be surprised if it wasn't. I'm fairly certain that a lot of the DLC is forward-compatible with unreleased features.

Especially since we know it's coming, they can just be like "fuck it, put 'em in".

I still maintain it wasn't an accidental leak.
 
Not sure if it was or wasn't. I mean, I thought it was pretty much a given that it'd be in there, so it wasn't anything I didn't already "know".

Green Day stuff is the only DLC with the harmonies MIDI files though, which is maddening. Maybe they've got a new standard in place for RB3 that we can't read at this point after the DLC gets ripped from Wii, cos it wouldn't make sense not to.

I hope there's an option in RB3 for me to just sing the harmony lines while playing guitar, all under one profile. I'd like to give that shot without faking multiplayer.
