I've given them all nicknames already.

I would try setting them up as playable characters in the game, but I don't think the character customization options are quite prepared for any of that. I guess we'll have to wait for Amberian Dawn: Rock Band.

Totally pre-ordering that game. ;)


I wonder,though, if they will give us a Amberian Dawn store in the Rock Band 3 list of stores. I want a store I can get all black leather and buckles easier for my characters.

Good news everybody. ;)

Amberian Dawn is a Finnish metal band that honed their trademark sound with expert precision, making highly polished albums of symphonic metal that are sure to be heralded as future classics by fans of the genre. They've brought more songs to the Rock Band Network than any other band, and have become a fan favorite. That's why we've chosen them as the Rock Band Network Artist of the Month for July 2011.

Carolyn VanEseltine: Right now, Amberian Dawn has more tracks on the Rock Band Network than any other band, and we've heard that your entire catalogue will be coming to Rock Band. What convinced you to make this commitment to Rock Band as a music platform?

Tuomas Seppälä: From the very first steps we made on RBN, it was quite clear that the music of AD is suitable for Rock Band. It seems like the Rock Band players enjoy the technical challenges we give to them and also the music itself seems to be liked among RB players. At first we put two songs on RBN and because of the great response, we [were] convinced about the whole concept of RBN and decided to put the whole arsenal of AD's music available on RBN. It's also awesome that we can reach a lot of people on RBN and those people wouldn't necessarily have heard about AD without this game concept. We got RockGamer Studios as our partner and so far our co-operation has been very enjoyable.

For you AD haters out there, you'll be glad to know that their whole discography is almost completed on RBN, so you won't be seeing more of it until their new album drops (unless you're on PS3). I think there are only a few songs left. One of them is in Finnish, so that won't see release. Maybe 3-4 songs max (if I remember correctly).

Wait, why won't the Finnish song be released? :(

Finnish isn't one of the languages that can show up in RB (as of yet). They would need playtesters on RBN that spoke Finnish in order to make sure it wasn't a string of expletives that could offend Finnish-speaking players.

As it turns out, I had just enough points for the Poison 3-pack. I still can't stand Unskinny Bop very much but singing Nothing but a Good Time and Talk Dirty to Me is a complete blast. I should be able to do those both on Hard with no problem. Expert, we'll see :).

On the keyboard front, I finally took another stab at it since my first stab was dismal. It worked out a lot better after half a dozen songs and two hands is so much easier than one. (I know, probably the rest figured out that long time ago). This was all on easy, but I think I can get medium with no problems. Hard, well that is a different matter. But who knows *shrug*

My only real issue is getting to star power. Have some difficulty for my hand to swing to the left and then back with no problems. But I guess I just need to practice.

Did they ever patch the game so that the drum bass pedal works with the keyboard to activate overdrive?

I stand corrected. I was just checking out RGS's "Coming Soon" songs on their site, and the Finnish song is listed. I have no idea how it's ever gonna get through PR (for vocal content), unless HMX does something special to let it pass.

I guess. I just assumed that the main reason there were only certain "supported" languages in RB/RBN was because those were the only languages spoken by the teams. If that's not the case, then I don't know why we don't have Swedish, Japanese, Polish, etc. songs available.

More importantly, this! I don't know if I will pick it up the first week that it comes out, but I will eventually.

A-fucking-men. I would be beyond thrilled to never have to hear either this or Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody ever again.

I wonder if someone here can help me on how to repair my Beatles RB Drum (Google's been a total bust). I had a bunch of kids over at a Rock Band / 4th of July party yesterday. Someone managed to get the yellow rubber drum pad loose and now it's off the drum. You can sit it on top and it'll still work, but I don't know if I should try to thread it back under the plastic edge and glue it in place. It's annoying to have to fix it, but if I have to do it, I want to make sure I'm doing it right -- I'm not the handiest guy around.

It's a tour pack, they will likely be live versions.
