Rock Band

[Haws Bah Gawd]

This Afternoon and Rockstar I can live without. The other songs are fine.

 

[AnonymousBroccoli]

Unfortunately, it's going to be hard to tell if the songs are actually any good from sites like RBDLC.com, with the angry internet masses likely to 1-star bomb them, justifiably or not.

 

[AnonymousBroccoli]

There's a whole schmoozle of music game stuff on sale via XBL coming up soon. LIVEapalooza~!

http://www.xbox.com/en-US/community/events/liveapalooza/default.htm

I figured it out, and if I get all the Rock Band stuff I don't already have (minus Going Country, since I'll get the Track Pack disc cheap some day), I'm looking at...

82 songs (with one repeat - got "Indestructible" by Disturbed with Track Pack Vol. 2)
5,640MSP
2,473MB

Also, this coming week's release is rumoured to be a big CCR pack.

[Conspiracy_Victim]

Jumpin' Jesus H. Christ I'm already counting the minutes until that CCR pack. That is epic music right there.

Rock Band 3 Reveals More Songs Trailer Video from GameVideos

New rumoured-ish songs today, courtesy a leaked video:

Blood, Sweat, & Tears – "Spinning Wheel"
Chicago – "25 to 6 or 4"
Faith No More – "Midlife Crisis"
INXS – "Need You Tonight"
T.Rex – "20th Century Boy"

The video shows some footage of the character customization screen, Pro Mode gameplay, and all but confirms Rock Band 2 song export, as well.

Also, the LIVEapalooza sale is live now, as are the CCR tracks.

 

[Thoth]

The Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny is in Rock Band Network.

 

[AnonymousBroccoli]

Between blink-182, The Who, and RHCP, I've now cracked through another big number, up to 510 Rock Band 2 tunes. Gotta say, whoever tiered "Adam's Song" at 2 dots and "My Generation" at 1 on bass really fucked the dog.

 

[bps21]

Haha...I'm actually at 499 playable songs on Rockband 2.

I feel like the next one is important...

but I also feel like it's going to be the CCR pack, so I'll never know...

 

[AnonymousBroccoli]

Tom Petty, more Pearl Jam, and Nirvana take it to 534.

 

[AnonymousBroccoli]

I just officially went mental, and polished off the whole plate with Peace Sells... but Who's Buying? and Disturbed 01 (the two songs I didn't have, at least). Because I like playing metal so much. Kinda fitting that I'd top it off with the song "Perfect Insanity".

Final song tally after LIVEapalooza damage: 560, putting me at just shy of 1/3 of the total library available.

Sale ends today, if you're gonna get in on it.

Bad Religion – "New Dark Ages"

There's also a quote at that link from the lead singer of Avenged Sevenfold saying they'll be "on the Rock Band 3 disc".

And courtesy of some hints & guessing games on Twitter/Facebook, it's confirmed that Tears for Fears will be in Rock Band 3. They seem to be teasing another reveal right now.

 

[AnonymousBroccoli]

Marilyn Manson is that teased band. They'll announce the specific song tomorrow.

 

[AnonymousBroccoli]

The B-52s are also in for Rock Band 3.

 

[bps21]

Oh it'd better be Rock Lobster

 

[Baby Shoes]

Oh it'd better be Rock Lobster

Rock Lobster would guarantee Day 1 Purchase for me.

 

[AnonymousBroccoli]

Def Leppard, Filter and Foreigner are in.

 

[bps21]

I preordered Rock Band 3 when they put Burning Down the House as a preorder. I'm sure it'll be available for purchase too...but Talking Heads gets my preorder anyway.

 

[Haws Bah Gawd]

What tracks are there from Def Leppard and Filter?

 

[AnonymousBroccoli]

They just announced them at a Comic-Con panel.

Songs for those new bands:

The B-52s - "Rock Lobster"
Def Leppard - "Foolin'"
Filter - "Hey Man, Nice Shot"
Foreigner - "Cold As Ice"
Marilyn Manson - "Beautiful People"
Tears for Fears - "Everybody Wants to Rule the World"

 

[Haws Bah Gawd]

Foolin' is an excellent choice. Long overdue for one of these games. Hey Man, Nice Shot is OK, but I was hoping for Welcome to the Fold.

 

[AnonymousBroccoli]

"Hey Man, Nice Shot" is in Guitar Hero World Tour, and while I probably only played it once on drums, I don't remember it blowing me away.

 

[AnonymousBroccoli]

There was a thread posted at GameFAQs a month ago claiming these songs might be in RB3. Some of them were confirmed today, and "Midlife Crisis" was in a leaked promo video a little while back, so the list is kinda gaining some validity. Only the ones in bold are confirmed.
