Soundgarden!! I thought for sure we were going to get a three pack with those two plus TDITTL. Hmm I wonder if that one will come out later.

To those saying Spoonman is goofy and cliched... er what? How could it possibly be cliched, there is no other song anything like that in all of rock music. It's prog rock that sounds like pop, how many people have pulled that off and actually made a hit out of it? I did a tempo/meter map of that song and it is insane, and was an amazing amount of work, but fun as hell. Try FCing it on expert drums ;)

:lol: I suggested that song when I downloaded my bonus 20. Seriously. I completely agree it would be a blast to play and sing.

I would love to have much more P!nk than just "So What", but I kinda like all of her songs (except that first album)...

shumway 11-21-08 09:31 PM

Yeah, I like many of her songs as well.

I have a question about the ACDC add-on disc. I rented the disc, but the code was unused, so I DL'd the disc to my drive. Now, I can play all of the songs without the disc (I returned it), the challenges are open, etc..., but I can't get any achievements on it. I hit three different ones that should've unlocked and none did. Can you only get the achievements if the actual disc is in??

I believe you do have to e actually be playing it as the AC/DC game rather than just the songs downloaded to get the achievements.

Yep. The achievements don't carry over. They're only in the AC/DC game itself.

But, we've also seen announcements that didn't actually happen.

News is news, whether in rumor or announcement form.



Back on, I proclaim I've got the 500th figured out.
Spoiler:

Nah .. I vote this one ..

It has a long piano/bass intro but I'd vote for One is the Loneliest Number for number 500 so we can get some Three Dog Night into the game.

Good song, curious how much fun it would be to play though.

Yeah, you need to be playing the actual game disc - you shouldn't have returned it so fast! - I got 400 easy gamerscore between that and track pack vol. 2 (if I were better at vocals and my drums didn't miss notes all the time, I could have gotten an extra 100gs). Not a lot of people seem to be renting these, or if they are, not a lot of people are using the codes, which is wicked.

Is BBV carrying the AC/DC game for rental?

I called a few days ago, and they didn't have it. I believe Kij looked for one last night as well, and came up empty-handed.

Seems like it's not going to be available at chains, but more at Mom & Pop type places. Seeing as how I live in a city with no local rental places, looks like I'm screwed on that front.

I just got my refurbed 360 back. Anyone know if I will I have to reexport the tracks or redownload the license in order to continue playing RB1 songs in Rb2?

If it's a different box, then you will probably have to redownload the license for all of your stuff.

Go to xbox.com/drm to use their tool to re-tie all content to your box. Then you'll have to go in and queue everything up for download to grab the new licenses. It will only take about 1 second per item, so it shouldn't be too bad. Might be easier to queue things up via the online marketplace as well while the 360 is on.

Absolutely. Here's a quick link to your d/l history for quick queuing: http://marketplace.xbox.com/en-US/my...seHistory.aspx

Microsoft should've done it for you already. You go to your history and "redownload" everything which only transfers the licenses. (it shouldn't have to actually redownload all the files)

If Microsoft didn't do this, call them and request them do it like they were supposed to. Don't use the license transfer tool since you can only do it once a year.

You can redownload from your Download History. Should be under Account Management somewhere, I believe.

Shagrath 11-25-08 06:21 AM

Caprici di Diablo marks the game's second instrumental. I picked up everything this week (Soundgarden's not up yet), but I don't think I'm gonna pass CdD anytime soon.

Have fun, rabbit!


pinata242 11-25-08 07:23 AM

I never get tired of seeing Old Greg wail :lol:

Also, f that song in the a. Haha! Solos...

flashburn 11-25-08 07:26 AM

One of The Killers songs has a drum solo in it. I think this is the first DLC with one. Now where the fuck is Soundgarden?!

Seconded. :(

Mad Dawg 11-25-08 09:19 AM

Yngwie is just someone I can't enjoy. I appreciate his skills, but it's not for me music-wise. And that chart gives me the runs. The LoG song is tempting just as another classic GH2 throwback, but the vocals kind of kill that one for me.

Picking up The Killers and the hopefully eventual Soundgarden.
