Re: The Official Rock Band Thread of Music Game Evolution

Don't know if any of you guys still have "Rock Band Parties", but this might be a good tool.

I usually just have my laptop open with an Excel sheet with all of my stuff. Beats printing out a new list every time, since there's always new stuff being added.

Left out was the PR where they go on to explain the sources of these songs, be they re-records or which live performance. I really hope they keep that up, especially for the ambiguous releases.

Re: The Official Rock Band Thread of Music Game Evolution

I'd prefer Black Diamond, Rock Bottom, or Strange Ways... but at this point I'll take any Kiss I can get. Except the re-records.

Love Gun or Shock Me would have been great too, but these will do for now. I'm surprised Strutter isn't getting a Pro upgrade.

TRU has a B1G1 50% off sale right now. Good for picking up RB3, Lego Rock Band, Green Day Rock Band, etc.

I would've put that in, but had to run off for work and was racing to get the info up before you did.

I did put it in but removed it a few minutes later because I didn't want to seem like I was showing Shagrath up in trying to beat you to the punch...

It's a holiday at work so I was out running errands. It was wide open.

Disturbed and Blink 182? That's just sad.

Blink has 9 songs, and Disturbed as 11. I'm sure it follows that bands that have oodles of DLC are gonna rank near the top. A couple of those Disturbed tracks were giveaways too, right?

Hopefully Boston selling so well the first time around means they're next in line for RB3 versions. I'd buy those again in a heartbeat for keys, harmonies, and at least some pro guitar.

Re: The Official Rock Band Thread of Music Game Evolution

I got two Disturbed tracks for free. They aren't normally like Still Alive or Charlene. I wonder if my code redemption for the BB pre-order pack counts as sales?

Re: The Official Rock Band Thread of Music Game Evolution

Disturbed is surprising to me, but not Blink 182. "All the Small Things" is always just under the free songs in all of the "top selling" lists that I've ever seen. It may be one of the top two-or-three-ranked paid songs in the entire library.

I keep on thinking that any week now we're gonna hear about a new Boston DLC announcement along the same lines of the RB3 Queen packs: An RB3-enhanced track pack of (most of) the first album, and a new track pack featuring Don't Look Back, Amanda, Feelin' Satisfied, and several other hits.

No idea how the pro upgrade that's available for More Than a Feeling would effect this, though.

It's amazing that they haven't revisited Boston yet. That track pack was over three years ago!

Re: The Official Rock Band Thread of Music Game Evolution

I would re-buy Boston at this point, definitely among my most played and hugely popular at parties.

That's true. I think I did the same. I didn't realize there were that many Blink tracks. I just thought they had "all the small things" up there, that's why it threw me for a loop.

RB3 version of Smokin' would be wildly different on guitar. Much lower scores.
