I'm glad I finally get to play Hollywood Hulk Hogan's entrance theme.

Re: The Official Rock Band Thread of Music Game Evolution
 

Jimi has never done much for me musically nor in Rock Band (I think I have everything to-date). That said, there's no way I'm passing on Watchtower.

Re: The Official Rock Band Thread of Music Game Evolution
 

O_O Voodoo Child AND All Along the Watchtower? *faints*

Re: The Official Rock Band Thread of Music Game Evolution
 

I've never won any codes before. Hope to tomorrow. Haven't bought any of the big packs that usually have the codes attached to them in hopes they'd go on sale. This might be just as good.

Harmonix Holiday Livestreamaganza on 12/19! Q&A, DLC reveal & giveaways FOR CHARITY!

Hey gang,

If you haven't heard of Child's Play, it's an awesome gaming related charity that benefits children in hospitals. The organization is supported in a huge way by the fine folks at Penny Arcade, a number of developer / community run fund raising events around the world (including Umloud in San Francisco which we just attended last week) and they're inches away from hitting their goal of raising 2 million dollars this year.

On Monday December 19th, we'll be taking donations for Child's Play by hosting what we've taken to calling the Harmonix Holiday Livestreamaganza. We'll be running a livestream from the Harmonix offices from 5-8pm EST on twitch.tv and there will be all manner of fun and games to keep everyone entertained. What can you expect during this holiday livestream? LOOK BELOW:

* Interviews / Q&A with Harmonix devs! You can actually get involved with the show RIGHT NOW by submitting questions below. We'll use the best questions on camera, call out your forum handle and you get the smug satisfaction of knowing you asked a better question than everyone else.

* Rock Band and Dance Central gameplay! Ever want to see an HMX dev sing Painkiller or dance for your amusement? This is your chance!

* Early DLC announcements! We'll be announcing upcoming DLC artists so tune in for a scoop!

* Other crazy announcements! There's some exceptionally rad stuff going on in the RB world beyond the DLC and we'll be talking about those things on the livestream for sure.

* DLC giveaways! We've got a mess of codes to give out (for both 360 and PS3), and you guys love free stuff. It's a perfect fit!

* Terrible holiday sweaters! What more could you ask for?

* On top of all that, this will all benefit an excellent charity so it's a great opportunity for all of us to have fun and do some good in the world at the same time.

So that's the quick rundown. We'll have more details in the next few days, so be sure to keep posted, submit questions below, share links with your friends, mark your calendars and tune in for a great cause. It should be a blast.

We'll see you on Monday!

Re: The Official Rock Band Thread of Music Game Evolution
 

I'm sure the scoop will be newsworthy!

Re: The Official Rock Band Thread of Music Game Evolution
 

Huey Lewis DLC confirmed for next year, Rush's 2112 hinted at again. . .

Re: The Official Rock Band Thread of Music Game Evolution
 

This is good news.

Re: The Official Rock Band Thread of Music Game Evolution
 

:rimshot:

Re: The Official Rock Band Thread of Music Game Evolution
 

Perhaps they are adding the Harmonica, Saxophone, and trumpet then? But I guess you didn't say "and The News", so I can't be sure.

Re: The Official Rock Band Thread of Music Game Evolution
 

We're getting some Bush next year!

Re: The Official Rock Band Thread of Music Game Evolution
 

Hey, they answered my question!

RB3 apparently coming to Xbox 360 Games on Demand tomorrow for $20.

Re: The Official Rock Band Thread of Music Game Evolution
 

Booger will be so happy.

Re: The Official Rock Band Thread of Music Game Evolution
 

Hall and motherfuckin' Oates!

Re: The Official Rock Band Thread of Music Game Evolution
 

:up:

Re: The Official Rock Band Thread of Music Game Evolution
 

Yawn.

Decent DLC announcements, but that's it?

Re: The Official Rock Band Thread of Music Game Evolution
 

Re: The Official Rock Band Thread of Music Game Evolution
 

I'm down for the entire Sixteen Stone and Razorblade Suitcase albums. Please.

Re: The Official Rock Band Thread of Music Game Evolution
 

They said there are just 3-packs for the 3 artists announced today

Re: The Official Rock Band Thread of Music Game Evolution
 

Bush? *yawn* What's next, Hanson?

;)

Re: The Official Rock Band Thread of Music Game Evolution
 

I was actually naive enough to hope for a big Led Zeppelin or U2-level announcement on this thing. They claim that parting ways with MTV wouldn't affect anything but it's hard to deny that things have changed when they make a big deal out of Huey Lewis, Bush and Hall & Oates.

Competition is a good thing and without Guitar Hero they don't really have to try all that hard with the DLC anymore.

Re: The Official Rock Band Thread of Music Game Evolution
 

And what's funny is I'd take the entire catalog by any of those three before I'd want to play a single Zeppelin or U2 track. ;)

Re: The Official Rock Band Thread of Music Game Evolution
 

I've been waiting for Huey Lewis since Rock Band 1. So yeah it's a big deal!

Re: The Official Rock Band Thread of Music Game Evolution
 

You know he's already in Rock Band 3, though, right? :)

Re: The Official Rock Band Thread of Music Game Evolution
 

So in for Hall & Oates, I'm flashing a strobe during the claps in "Private Eyes".


I'm so tired today. :(
