Oh hot damn, I'm getting All Right Now and Bad to the Bone.

Oh never mind, those are the 3 Offspring Songs I do like :lol: My bad. 5 for me it looks like!

pinata242 10-03-08 11:28 AM

3 Offspring + All Right Now + BttB + Nearly Lost You for me.

lordwow 10-03-08 11:29 AM

I only wish that Harvey Danger song was Flagpole Sitta

Mad Dawg 10-03-08 11:31 AM

For god's sake. I had hopes that I'd only be buying 3 this week until this bullshit. This is getting to be punishing, MSP-wise.

All Right Now may end up my most played song, at least for a while.

GoVegan 10-03-08 11:33 AM

Nice - early announcement! I'm not really an Offspring fan, but I'll probably get the three pack and the Screaming Trees track. Not sure about Bad to the Bone - I'm sure it'll be fun to play, but I was looking forward to it being free.

Liver&Onions 10-03-08 11:34 AM

Screaming Trees! FUCK YES!
Bad to the Bone?! Sweet!

And i am sure the offspring too will be making it my way.

DaveWadding 10-03-08 11:37 AM

In for Offspring, All Right Now, and BBBBBad to the Bone

discostu1337 10-03-08 11:50 AM

Wow, really good DLC day! I have no idea what they have for that free 20 song thing now...

REL77 10-03-08 12:00 PM

Great mix of music this week.... Gonna get everything but Harvey Danger, and Against me.... Good week... I wish the Static X song was Dirthouse, but Push It is a good pickup

REL77 10-03-08 12:01 PM

were all 6 of those songs on the leaked 20 free song DLC list from a few weeks back?

Yeah the rumored list is pretty much dead now. I just hope it's not filled with a bunch of no-name indy bands.

pinata242 10-03-08 12:02 PM

5 of them were for sure, can't remember if The Screaming Trees was or not.

invisiblegt 10-03-08 12:29 PM

Damn... "All Right Now" is one of my favorite songs of all time. Looks like I'm going to need to buy this after all.

bee_01 10-03-08 12:52 PM

It doesn't really make sense for them to give away songs that would sell easily as DLC or could be put in a sequel. I'm not expecting too much from the 20 freebies.

Michael Corvin 10-03-08 12:53 PM

Offspring Yea! :banana: But where are the other two tracks? Wasn't the leaked pack 5 or 6 tracks? I think one ended up being in RB2.

Out of the others I'm definitely down for Thorogood. I'll probably grab Static-X as well, it's a fun tune. I'll have to listen to the others.

The Bus 10-03-08 12:57 PM

Did Harmonix ever say the 20 DLC tracks weren't going to be by Sprode or Wacky Detergents or Bobby Lee and the Thriftstore Rhinestone Cowboys or whatever bullshit "bonus" artists were in RB1 and GH2?

pinata242 10-03-08 12:58 PM

They haven't said anything other than it's coming and it won't be artists that are on the RB2 disc.

argh923 10-03-08 01:02 PM

I'm in for the Offspring tracks, Screaming Trees, Thurgood, and Static-X. Yeah!

Check the leaderboards again, chief. ;)

I thought there was a quote at one point that said that the songs were going to be well-known songs from well-known artists. I could be misremembering though.

Yeah, an article somewhere mentioned some/most/all of them were basically just songs they didn't have finished in time to put on disc, and that's why they were free...whether they were from bands like The Bus mentioned (:lol:) or good bands, not sure.

Great week again for DLC...I wish they had something other than Pretty Fly in there, and hope we get The Kids Aren't Alright still at some point.

Also in for Thorogood and Free for sure, never heard Screaming Trees before but I like the sound of it, and maybe Static X if I'm in a shitty mood.

thelwig14 10-03-08 01:41 PM

They picked the wrong Rise Against and Harvey Danger songs, but I am going to snag all the tracks. Great week.

I have a feeling the 20 free tracks will be a lot of leftovers from GH 1 and 80's that they already more or less have charted.

chuckd21 10-03-08 02:31 PM

Wow, everything BUT that Static-X song for me!

:up: Heat of the Moment 2-pack. Asia version and Cartman version.

If they do more revisiting of the old games, I'd love them to grab the southern rock stuff. Jessica, Freebird, and Hold on Loosely. :drool:

I'll try as soon as I get home. How much further ahead are you? I played on Hard and had 99% for each song...and I don't think I can do those on sexpert yet. :(

dvdsteve2000 10-03-08 02:48 PM

I just listened to it & I like it. I'll be grabbing all but the Harvey song and maybe the Trees song, unless it (they) end up being free for DLing the entire pack. I just listened to Gone Away & I never knew that was Offspring, I like that song alot. Good week, and Crue the week after!!

pinata242 10-03-08 02:53 PM

^ There will be no discount on the 6 non-Offspring singles, so don't expect Harvey or Screaming Trees to come along with the other 4 for free.

UncleGramps 10-03-08 03:09 PM

I was on sexpert (:lol:), and I was about 16,000 points ahead of you or so.

OK - I can do that on Hard. Just need to not break combo a couple more times :)

mdc3000 10-03-08 05:33 PM

Against Me! is a must buy for me - would love to see a few more tracks from them. Getting The Offspring pack, All Right Now and probably Bad to the Bone... SOLID week!

naitram 10-03-08 06:06 PM

Where the fuck is the PS3 version?! This is stupid. It better come out before the economy collapses and i'm eating dirt pancakes or I'm going to be pissed

Same place it was when RB2 was announced. Coming soon...

Michael Corvin 10-03-08 07:30 PM

So pinata with 9 tracks next week and the rumored Dr. Feelgood how are we looking on our 500 tally?

freshticles 10-03-08 07:44 PM

Static X? Why? Do people even listen to them?

Please give me the rest of the songs to Bon Jovi's Slippery when wet!!

dvdsteve2000 10-03-08 07:53 PM

I practiced some expert GH3 & Aerosmith before playing RB2 and man, what a difference. RB is really slow compared to the GH games. I was hitting everything early for a couple songs until I got used to it.

Ya know, I was watching a youtube vid of rabbit and I thought to myself...he reads these forums and sees all of us talking about struggling through songs, 'how in the Hell do you get through this or that?', or woohoo, I got through this song... His only problem seems to be not getting an FC 100%, lol. I feel so small.

Kelkee 10-03-08 09:14 PM

Rabbit is truely worthy of the title Guitar Hero!
