Well there's 12 weeks and 5 confirmed albums coming (Foo Fighters, SRV, Motley Crue, No Doubt, and Jane's Addiction). So even if the Coheed & Cambria pack is true there's still 6 weeks to release 13 songs (guessing that the No Doubt pack will have at the very least 8 songs).

You can't count AC/DC Donnington because it's released on a Sunday for retail. And I would hope that the free 20 wouldn't count as part of their weekly DLC because it was supposed to be on disc originally. I'm sure they would want to have some paying content that week as well. So even if you leave 4 weeks left, they'd still only have to release 3.25 songs each week for those remaining 4 weeks.

Edit: It's going slow now. And I just noticed that the big "RockBand.com" logo says "Beta" above it.

Completely down for me. :(

Michael Corvin 10-06-08 12:35 PM

Down for me too.

Is it Tuesday yet?

Of course those count. They stated that there would be over 500 songs available by the end of the year. Those songs are available - therefore they count.

He just meant you can't count on it taking up a DLC Tuesday because it won't.

I know, right? I'm gonna need a 2nd mortgage on my house for this shit.

argh923 10-06-08 12:47 PM

Oh...gotcha. My mistake.

I'm thinking the 20 free ones will be on a Tuesday by themselves, personally...but we shall see.

Well, that would suck for those that have not bought Rock Band 2.

Can you blame them? Have you met any worth their weight in water?

Trick question. There aren't any PS3 owners. They're all a product of Kanye's overactive imagination.

Decided to play the "Moving Pictures sans YYZ" challenge last night on expert. It was fun and I got 92% of the way through The Camera Eye before I failed from that unexpected (for me) solo. Talk about frustrating to waste like 9 minutes of really easy guitar for that :lol:

Only got like $400 for it.

devilshalo 10-06-08 01:29 PM

I think it's gonna take half a DAY for my lone picture to develop. :(

Michael Corvin 10-06-08 01:54 PM

:lol: I did one for each band member(4) and a band shot. I'm not expecting to see them anytime soon.

devilshalo 10-06-08 02:33 PM

It was quicker for my bandmate picture to pop up. Still not quite sold on spending $70 for it yet.

same thing happened to me on Camera Eye. Seemed pretty easy, so didn't hold onto my overdrive at all and wasn't ready for that... not too bad 2nd time through...

edstein 10-06-08 04:24 PM

I try not to use overdrive playing my first time through songs just in case you run into a Camera Eye or Round and Round.

lordwow 10-06-08 07:36 PM

I might get up early tomorrow to play some of that DLC. This is probably the best stuff since Boston or The Who.

lordwow 10-07-08 06:39 AM

BTTB and All Right Now have audience singing. All Right Now's is awesome. They only come in during the chorus, but it sounds awesome.

All Right Now is repetitive, other than the solo, but the crowd singing makes it awesome in my book. BTTB is tougher than I thought, and the solo near the end almost caused me to fail.

I didn't see the Offspring pack up, I'll try that tonight.

AsmodeusVice 10-07-08 06:40 AM

Looks like we have some issues. The Offspring pack isn't available yet as of right now. Wonder what happened.

Michael Corvin 10-07-08 06:49 AM

:sad: Hopefully it is fixed by this afternoon. Are the other tracks working?

Crowd singing definitely improves some of the more boring songs.

Amen to that. I've actually gold starred about 5 songs (not including the Beasties on vocals) and have no idea where to go to see them.

lordwow 10-07-08 06:52 AM

All 5 of of the others are up in the store. I only downloaded All Right Now and BTTB, but I'd imagine the others work. Offspring was not there, and I checked new releases and the song packs sections.

Michael Corvin 10-07-08 06:59 AM

BTTB?

Looks like there might be a glitch on RB.com. I submitted a photo for each band member as well as the group, so 5 images but it spit out 9 photos. :shrug: Oh well.

Here's my guitarist and group:

^Weird.... I just tried to do this and haven't gotten ANY photos to actually show up... I check and they aren't there after a few minutes...
