Awe you didnt do too bad! I should have been paying more attention to where you were at. Luckily for me sight reading on bass for everything is just a "tad" easier 
Also, taking a drink of beer during the bass intro...not such a good idea. I'd gladly play again whenever, I'll be getting back on in a bit.

At least we gold starred Alive. "Down With the Sickness" and that Mastadon song will be a lot of fun instead of a "WTH was that?!" type thing one or two more plays down the line . Was Mastadon the red devil difficulty we passed or was that another one?

Does anyone here use Quickplay all that much? I noticed that I don't have scores for songs I've done numerous times in the various challenges. I don't play quickplay (save for a song here or there) and have scores for other songs I haven't done in quickplay. Seems kinda odd.
Also I've noticed some of the RB1 songs now have album art, while others just have the RB logo. Also odd.
I still can't seem to get all four band members on stage when I start with my bassist. I've tried booting band members and making them rejoin, but nothing. I can't seem to find a solution.

I skimmed through the thread (but not the previous 9) but didn't see an answer to this.
I've played through RB1, and am working my way through RB2. I've got my fair share of DLC. I downloaded the RHCP album over the weekend, the store shows it's purchased, but I can't find it to play anywhere. Am I missing something? I've never had to unlock DLC before..

It will be in a couple places. First is quickplay. You can create your own setlist and play them all together. Second is in the Challenges. I haven't bought that one, but I'm pretty sure there will be an album challenge somewhere in there. Just look for the RHCP album art.

So just go back and download it again and check to make sure it's queued up and see if that helps. It's already paid for so you needn't purchase it again.

well, I just checked the song numbers to see if Harmonix will hit its 500 by years end, and it looks like this:
As of today we've got 247 in DLC, 58 in RB1, and 84 in RB 2. That makes 389.
The announced albums plus the Offspring and other singles coming out this week are as follows:
9 10/7 DLC
12 Foo Fighters
10 Jane's Addiction
10 SRV
11 Motley Crue
20 Free tracks
18 AC/DC Donnington
That all = 90 (and I'm not counting the songs from the albums already on disc or the No Doubt pack because of the unsure # of songs on it)
So 389 + 90 = 479
So we've got 21 more songs to be released (some of which are going to be the No Doubt pack). And with 12 more tuesdays in the year left after 10/7, I'm sure they'll be over 500 by years end. They essentially have 6 Tuesdays of free space for DLC.

I've had instances where I'd pick something for download on the marketplace and I would go look in my queue and it wouldn't be there, but would be marked that I downloaded it (it's some weird glitch that happens every now and then on my 360). It basically never got downloaded. So I just redownloaded it and made sure that it went into my download queue.
So just go back and download it again and check to make sure it's queued up and see if that helps. It's already paid for so you needn't purchase it again.

*edit - I've been browsing RB.com and the Coheed forums and I can't seem to find the info again. I do find it interesting that searching RB.com brings up over 100 different Coheed & Cambria threads when searching for "Coheed." With that kind of attention on their forums you would think some more DLC would be in the works.
** edit II - found it. I think someone said the rumor may have come from Gamefaq's, but I'm still holding out a glimmer of hope for it.

I highly doubt that Coheed pack is coming out. There have been many people who make these "Fake PRs", thinking that they're being cool, and it's just lame.
I don't mind people saying "Hey, this would make an awesome pack", but making it look completely like an existing PR is ass. If this was something legit from HMX, it would be a little more widely talked about. Plus 12 tracks for 16 bucks is a little low, I believe.

I know, I know, I just can't let it go. As for price, they aren't a huge band like the other artist/albums out there so a hair over $1 per track doesn't sound too far fetched. Plus the way the "press release" reads and the timing, it's all about promoting the big concert at the end of the month. Promotional stuff always seems to be cheaper.
At any rate assuming it's bogus, it seems like it was well thought out.

What? What I posted was originally posted on 7/18. So it actually implies that we were to learn something about the HMX20 the Friday after 7/18. Did we?

Maybe I'm remembering this wrong, but I think whoever originally posted it on the RB boards claimed that it appeared for a brief time on the official Announcements forum. Of course, as we've seen, Harmonix tends to switch things up whenever something legitimate is leaked early, so who knows?

Looks like the RB.com revamp might be underway. This is what you get when you hit the site:

I remember seeing 10/26 (Sunday) as the GH release date. That said, with the RB announcements being on Fridays, it would still allow them to steal a little more of GH's thunder even if 10/28 is the release date for the 20 tracks.
Still, I agree that they might be better served by getting the free 20 songs out on 10/21.
