Well, you can always do a tribute to Eric Carr. :)

When the game first came out someone on CAG did Peter Criss and I was looking forward to seeing the rest of the band. Never happened.

Curious Soundgarden picks, but I am getting those and The Killers for sure.

No thanks on LoG, but good to see another old GH track get updated.

Just graduated full time to expert but the Yngwie songs may be too difficult for me. Looking forward to those videos.

I'd love Fell On Black Days from Soundgarden, I just heard that today & thought it would be a good pick.

I think they have a bunch. To me they are band that many people don't realize how good they were until you really sit down and see how many great songs they had in a short time.

I wouldn't have picked JC Pose but I am just glad they are getting some DLC because Spoonman is a horrible representation of Soundgarden's awesomeness.

Maybe, but it is hella fun on every instrument.

I agree, but it is the song most associated with the band and it is such a cliche, goofy song compared to the rest of their catalogue.

I would have liked to have seen something from his first two albums. I am a Viking would have been good.

I'm still relatively new to the Strat (I have the RB2 version) and have a question. I played some last night and the strum is no longer 'spongy.' It's still seemed plenty responsive, but now it's almost as 'clicky' as the Les Paul. Is this a sign my guitar is going out or is it fine and now I have to live with the clicking? Should I just RMA it anyway?

DLC Announcement for this week:

Hey gang,
Ready for this week's DLC announcement? This week you've got a 3 Pack from The Killers, a 3 Pack from Yngwie Malmsteen, 2 singles from Soundgarden, and 1 single from Lamb Of God! We're not too far away from 500 tracks now.

The Killers 3 Pack!

Mr. Brightside
Smile Like You Mean It
Spaceman


Yngwie Malmsteen 3 Pack!

Caprici Di Diablo
Damnation Game
Red Devil


Soundgarden Singles!

Jesus Christ Pose

Lamb of God Single!

Laid To Rest


Each track is available for $1.99 (160 Microsoft Points) or $5.49 (440 Microsoft Points) for the complete three packs.

All tracks are masters.

This DLC will be available on 11/25 for both Xbox360 AND the PS3 (thanks to the holiday next Thursday).

Didn't I post that information yesterday?

You know, it's really kinda lame they couldn't throw 1 more Soundgarden song in there to make it a 3-pack.

Oh for fuck's sake, Shag, that's the official announcement and you know it.

You didn't have a source.

:up:

I'm hoping for some YouTubes since I don't know any of these by their names alone.

Does anyone else thing the Malmsteen songs are going to be the new hardest songs int he game... Caprici Di Diablo is a 4.5 minute instrumental that is just 100% solo material...

I am calling it now, new hardest songs in the game..

No help?

I'm finally moved on from the challenges to the tour, which manager/pr person is best for fans/money?

Just gave them all a listen, I'll get the Killers pack and Pretty Noose for sure. The Malmsteen stuff will probably be too hard to be fun for me.

Yeah, just listened the the Malmsteen too, and it's not quite my bag. And seeing as my guitar skills are medium with like 3 songs of hard - this would be a waste as it looks engineered for the expert players. I'll be happy with Soundgarden :)

I predict Malmsteen being in RB is the answer to Dragonforce being in GH (Just ass hard music).... I know I cant pass his songs in Expert, but i am excited to see the note charts for those songs to see how Harmonix handles it..

487 + 9 = 496 songs on the platform (or 493 if you only consider RB2).

Either way, we'll hit #500 with the next announcement. I wonder if HMX will specify which track they consider the milestone.

Finally we get Mr. Brightside.... I've been saying for years how fun that would be to play on guitar.

I've never heard of any of those Yngwie songs. Too bad we couldn't get some of his classic 80's stuff.

Definitely will get Soundgarden. Not sure on Killers - have to hears the tunes.
