Re: Rock Band: Official Thread
 

Boys Are Back In Town and Hit Me With Your Best Shot for me.

Re: Rock Band: Official Thread
 

In for Benetar. Everything else gets a big ol' "whatev."

Re: Rock Band: Official Thread
 

Boys are Back in Town sounds pretty solid in the clip.

Re: Rock Band: Official Thread
 

What process does HMX use to select artists? Are the deals made with the label or the artist specifically? Does HMX have a request line for people to make suggestions of future artists? I'd really like to see The Smithereens represented in this game.

Re: Rock Band: Official Thread
 

In for Pretenders and Pat Benatar.

Re: Rock Band: Official Thread
 

That'd be an awesome choice. Go to:

Then in the Contact Us box, there is a link for Request a Song.

Re: Rock Band: Official Thread

2. Strangers When We Meet
3. Blood and Roses
4. In a Lonely Place
5. Behind the Wall of Sleep
6. Only a Memory

Re: Rock Band: Official Thread
 

I'm never big on vocals of live shows tho and some of it is a bit off.

Re: Rock Band: Official Thread
 

Yeah live versions are not my preference either, but at least the tempo isn't all over the place ;)

Re: Rock Band: Official Thread
 

I'd state my opinion of this week's DLC, but Shagrath would just bitch about my bitching. :lol:

Re: Rock Band: Official Thread
 

I finally gave RB2 a spin after a couple weeks break. I gave Mute Math, Zombie, Godsmack and the Ghost Hounds a go. All were awesome. Color me surprised when I saw I already had a Ghost Hounds tune in the game (part of the HMX20?). I loved both songs.

Re: Rock Band: Official Thread
 

Yes, HMX20. That's (obviously) the first band in those 20 to make a return visit.

Re: Rock Band: Official Thread
 

Wait, there's Mute Math?

Re: Rock Band: Official Thread
 

-ohbfrank- Typical...

Re: Rock Band: Official Thread
 

Has anyone seen this?

Re: Rock Band: Official Thread
 

First I've seen of this. I'm going to go out on a limb and say that it's deceptive on Best Buy's site. I'm thinking those three bonus tracks are on the CD, but the download code provided in the box will just get you a 3-pack of stuff off of the album. Either that, or those songs will release on the Marketplace shortly after. I don't see HMX charting songs, when the only way to get them is to pony up $125.

Re: Rock Band: Official Thread
 

Looks like you get it with the $28 version as well. Based on price, that version appears to be:
The $130 "Super Deluxe" edition is just the Deluxe + vinyl + cassettes and other crap. After the Death Magnetic fiasco, I'm a bit hesitant though.

Re: Rock Band: Official Thread
 

That's what I get for reading. :)

My original guess still stands though. This will just be 3 songs off the album.

Re: Rock Band: Official Thread
 

Keep reading:

Clearly different than the bonus tracks listed for the actual CD (see above). Kinda weak they couldn't pick one of the other 6 bonus songs since we already have Alive. Or give us three tunes from the Unplugged gig. I'm still skeptical, but I was going to pick up the set anyway so I took a shot. If it pans out like Metallica, I'll just return it.

Re: Rock Band: Official Thread
 

I clicked on both albums and didn't see a tracklist on either of them to see if these songs were on the disc or not. I'm just hazarding a guess that these won't be "Exclusive" by any stretch. Either it's just a 3-pack off the album as the download, or these "exclusive" songs will hit the Marketplace at the same time or shortly after the CD's release.

Re: Rock Band: Official Thread
 

I hope they're eventually available online since I just pre-ordered the giant set from pj.com.

Re: Rock Band: Official Thread
 

Yeah, I'm playing detective trying to piece the information together. Here's the breakdown of the different sets. Based on the price, this is the Deluxe Edition. If you go by the actual press release it appears pretty straight forward:

Disc 1: original Ten tracklisting digitally remastered (original mix) (these 3 bonus songs were not on the original Ten)
· Disc 2: original Ten tracklisting digitally remastered and remixed by Brendan O’Brien, plus six bonus tracks: “Brother,” “Just a Girl,” “State of Love and Trust,” “Breath and a Scream,” “2,000 Mile Blues” and “Evil Little Goat” (two of these songs are listed as part of the Bonus, but Alive is missing)

So to me it appears that these are different tunes, and are the Rock Band tracks. :shrug: Anyway, everyone's on their own on this one since I doubt Best Buy will clear it up, or handle it any better than Metallica.

I can't seem to find any info or thread on the Pearl Jam forum pertaining to Rock Band either. Does anyone belong there want to investigate for us?

Re: Rock Band: Official Thread
 

Unrelated, but I FINALLY played Visions for the first time. rotfl 12%. Fuck that song.

Re: Rock Band: Official Thread
 

I'll believe it when I see it. Still waiting on my bonus South Park tracks :(
