I wonder if the label issue has something to do with what happened with their second album.

OK, I just picked up a Beatles Limited Addition 360 RB bundle at Game Stop for $99. I also picked up RB1, RB2, and RB Lego's used for dirt cheap. Can I load any of these songs onto my hard drive or do I have to use each specific disc to play the tracks available? Sorry if I seem confused, but I keep hearing about importing tracks or some such thing and I want to figure out the easiest way to have tracks available for play.

Thanks!

Beatles you need to use the disc, no export available. Also any DLC or exported songs from other games will not work in it. It's a separate entity with it's own songs and it's own DLC.

Rock Band can be exported at a cost of 400 points ($5). Lego Rock Band had a one-time use code for exporting, if you have that you can do it at a cost of 800 points ($10). If you don't have the code then you can't export.

Rock Band 2 is only exportable for use in Rock Band 3 I believe? Although I have not checked if you can use your exported RB2 songs in RB1 or Lego: Rock Band, I wonder why you would as Rock Band 2 was the best of those 3 games.

The Beatles songs you must use the disc to play them.

RB1, RB2, and RB Lego can all be exported to the hard drive to play the songs in RB2. Or, if you pick up RB 3, you can play them all in RB3. It will cost you 800 MS points to export RB2 and RB Lego. I think the export fee for RB1 was 400 points.

Josh Turner - "Would You Go With Me"
Keith Urban - "Days Go By"

Sugarland - "It Happens"

Alt. Country 01:

Neko Case - "People Got a Lotta Nerve"
Old 97s - "Time Bomb (Live)"

There's also a Toby Keith six-pack they could pull from along with singles from Shooter Jennings and Carrie Underwood.

I would love some more country in the game.

And then some Tom Waits. That would be hilariously fun to sing!

Muse!

Man I am royally sucking on the guitar parts on these Billy Joel songs.

Bitch enough and there it is. Now where's my Ayreon?

One of the Devin Townsend Ziltoid songs went up the other day in Playtest, and it's a mess on vocals. They added this "feature" called "garbage vocals" where Ziltoid has hacked Rock Band and forces you to just say random bullshit instead of the lyrics. So fucking stupid.

They are supposedly going to reduce that drastically, but it will still be there, and it sounds like it won't be limited to just this one Ziltoid song and perhaps will be persistent across the entire album. It also includes him hacking the animations and camera system, and also sounds like they are thinking about including messing with the other charts as well. I really hate this idea, but as long as they don't screw with drums, then I don't really care too much.

I am officially confused.

Yup. Same here.

I guess the new version's "ghost" vocals are supposed to be super-blatant "punch you in the face" as to why they're there.. "Ziltoid is hacking Rock Band and making me sing this."

Stupid stupid STUPID

The only way it would be okay is if Ziltoid, in the actual song says something about hacking Rock Band, and even then, it should only be for like a phrase or so, anything more would just be stupid. I'd also prefer if it didn't overlap over the actual vocals.

I know Devin Townsend is crazy......but seriously?

well, his finger apparently smells like poop.

That's gotta do great things for the genre.

Looks like it would probably be fine. It's not as nice as the one I have but it's way cheaper than what I paid.

As for the Ziltiod thing...my enthusiasm has diminished

I'm confused. Is this why Harmonix was uncommunicative for a while after the RB3 launch? Because they were trying to fight the Ziltiod worm?

I went to buy the Billy Joel pack this morning and only had 1510 points. Ugh. Later, I remembered I had Bing Rewards codes sitting around, so I got it. Love having all these songs. But there are some missing.

Probably, dude is one scary mofo.

There are songs missing from the pack?

Depending on your build and how long your play sessions are, it might be worth getting a better one. I was playing on a POS throne I bought on clearance at Best Buy for $15. I'm not a big guy, but it still hurt after only 20-30 minutes of drumming.

I just bought this one:

http://drums-percussion.musiciansfri...one?sku=445666

It's at $90 right now, but you could probably call them up and get them to lower the price (shipping will still be free). I called them and got them to sell it to me for $80. Yeah, it's kind of expensive, but the thing's freaking rock solid & super comfortable (but still firm) and compares to the Roc-N-Socs that go for double the price. I'm a cheap guy (hell, I tried to get away with a $15 throne), but this thing was actually worth it.

You could also go to a local music shop (Guitar Center) and just start sitting on thrones to see what you like.

Pre-order is up at Best Buy for the Squier:
