Angels & Airwaves – The Adventure
Owl City – Fireflies
Queens of the Stone Age – In My Head *
Via RBA since RB.com hasn't updated.

I think my kids like that Fireflies song, or at least they did 2 years ago. I'll check with them about purchasing...

Overall, I like this week.

Generally speaking, I'll take a three pack of singles over three from one artist/band. It's a shame there isn't an 80s pop tune in this group, but there's still enough to like in there.

As they say, there's always next time.

So there's this Guitar Zero Kickstarter.

I'll let the videos speak for it:

<iframe width="640" height="360" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/O5CthPJU2N0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

I'm kind of feeling like shooting them some money just to see it get done. Not that I care about the functionality of it myself even though my skillz have gone as far as they can. It would be nice to get some of those out-of-reach achievements ;)

So would that basically be a cheat device for the GH games?

pinata242 06-19-12 10:08 AM

Re: The Official Rock Band Thread of Music Game Evolution
 
That's exactly what it is. I'm surprised it took this long to come to fruition.

Wouldn't this destroy the leaderboards? If it works on GH I assume it'll make its way to Rock Band if it doesn't work with it by default anyway.

Re: The Official Rock Band Thread of Music Game Evolution
 
Since it's just a timing chart based on the first note, the only limitation I see is getting that chart loaded. No reason why it couldn't work with any game if the hardware is recognized.

So I don't know if you guys have been following the (artificial?) drama going on in one of the Rock Band Blitz threads over at RB.com, but there is a purported list of the last 10 songs in Blitz.

I'm not exactly sure how people came to get it, but it seems that it involves an anonymous source IMing forum members the list along with screenshots of said songs posted on a photo site and tie-ins to a Twitter account. You can try and sort through it all starting here (since posts have been pulled, it's hard to follow.)

As of right now, the photos have been yanked from the site and HMX hasn't come out and said, "These are songs fake and this isn't the final list," so of course that fuels the frenzy. I have no idea if it's real or not...it could just be ultimate set list material. But I thought it would make for fun speculation nonetheless. I'll hide the list in case you think it's spoiler-worthy.

Spoiler:

1. Moves Like Jagger - Maroon 5
2. We Are Young - Fun.
3. Stronger (What Doesn't Kill you) - Kelly Clarkson
4. Jungle Boogie - Kool & the Gang
5. So Far Away - Avenged Sevenfold
6. Sing - My Chemical Romance
7. Death on Two Legs - Queen
8. These Days - Foo Fighters
9. Give It Away - RHCP
10. Spoonman - Soundgarden

1,4,9,10 are pure love if it happens, especially #1 and #10. Man, I don't even care for the game, I just want the music pack.

There is obviously speculation that the list is fake. Things that point to it being a fake list are:

1) Screenshots in RB3 instead of in Blitz. It's really really easy to import customs into RB3 (before the last patch).
2) There were several unreleased songs within those screenshots. These could be customs, or they could be unreleased songs (if he did indeed get this information off of PartnerNet, MS's internal "Live").
3) In one of the screenshots, it showed songs from "The Sounds", and had both Living in America (from RB3), and Song with a Mission (RB1 DLC). However, these were both sorted as "The Sounds" when Song with a Mission should be sorted as "As Made Famous by The Sounds".

I have no idea if this list is fake or not, but I'd say it could go either way.

Assuming that list is correct, it gives me one right from our "contest"! I haven't been keeping track, has any one else gotten a guess right so far?

pinata242 06-22-12 08:50 AM

Re: The Official Rock Band Thread of Music Game Evolution
 
There was one correct already, I believe. Too lazy to open it.

I hit with "Shout" by Tears for Fears.

DLC for 6/26:


Hey gang,

The first country artist to win American Idol, Carrie Underwood has sold more than 14 million albums worldwide, earned five Grammys, and has topped the charts with 14 number one singles. On June 26th, one of the biggest names in modern country music returns to Rock Band with “Carrie Underwood Pack 01”!

“Before He Cheats,” the chart-topping single from Underwood’s 2005 album, Some Hearts, opens the pack. The highly successful crossover single garnered Underwood a number of awards, including two Grammy’s for “Best Female Country Vocal Performance” and “Country Song of the Year.”

The second song in the pack is “Cowboy Casanova” from her third studio album, 2009’s Play On. The track was another hit for Underwood, certified Platinum and reaching number one on Billboard’s Country Songs charts.

“Good Girl,” the lead single from Underwood’s most recent record, Blown Away, rounds out of the pack. This high-energy track, with its infectious sing-along chorus, swept the charts when it was released earlier this year, rocketing to the top of Billboard’s Country Songs charts. The track also netted Underwood the prestigious “Video of the Year” award at the CMT Music Awards earlier this month.

Available on Xbox 360, Wii and PlayStation®3 system (June 26th, 2012):

• Carrie Underwood – “Before He Cheats” O
• Carrie Underwood – “Cowboy Casanova” O
• Carrie Underwood – “Good Girl” X


(These tracks will be available in Europe on PlayStation®3 system June 27th)

Tracks marked with “O” feature support for keyboards; tracks marked with “X” will offer Pro Guitar and Pro Bass expansions for $0.99 per song.

Price:

$5.49 USD, £2.49 UK, €3.99 EU (440 Microsoft Points, 550 Wii Points™) for the “Carrie Underwood Pack 01”
$1.99 USD, £.99 UK, €1.49 EU (160 Microsoft Points, 200 Wii Points) per song
$0.99 USD (100 Wii Points™/80 Microsoft Points), £0.59 UK, €0.79 EU per song for eligible Pro Guitar/Pro Bass upgrade
My girls would love Before He Cheats, if my memory holds.

Before He Cheats... the anthem of irrational women everywhere.

shaane 06-22-12 09:15 AM

Re: The Official Rock Band Thread of Music Game Evolution
 
My lady likes Before He Cheats as well. Not sure if I'll pick it up, but I'll make a mental note of it.

As for my general thoughts on the pack, I say that it's always good to get music out there that appeals to many types of RB players. It's not for me, but I'm sure there will be a lot of folks out there that will (secretly?) enjoy it. :)

I will say that this week is better than last week, without even having heard these Carrie Underwood songs before.

Yeah, no doubt. I've always just wondered about this song when I did used to do karaoke a few years back. (now I can't find a good place, so I've given up trying). The girls always sing it with such venom, I'm thinking, "Who pissed in your Cheerios?" Honestly, if I'm a dude and a girl cheats on me, I might be heartbroken, but I'm not going to destroy their car. Geezus. But some women have that switch, full on board crazy and shit.

It's usually followed by Ceelo's Fuck You.

Plus three drunk cougars who are at the hotel bar after a 3-day Insurance Convention, singing Buckcherry's "Crazy Bitch". At least one of them has never heard the song before...
