Yeah, I haven't installed any customs for ages. I should go through the last 4-6 months of customs and download everything I like and relearn.

Tesla, Cake, Queensryche, Dream Theater, Muse, Beach Boys, Nightwish, Weird Al, Triumph...

A veritable who's who of what I wanted from Harmonix. Downloading a bunch. Now I gotta figure out how to make them work again.

:eek: HOLY. SHIT....new this week:

Spoiler:
the full Octavarium track.



You can be assured that these charts are accurate; I put over 350 hours of work into this album and have thoroughly tested these charts.
Dayum! Major kudos to that guy.

Whoa. That seriously makes me want to go buy Rock Band today. Just for DT.

Would I just need RB3 and a plastic guitar?

Michael Corvin 11-08-14 12:16 PM

Re: The Official Rock Band Thread of Music Game Evolution
 
You need a specific copy of Rock Band 3*, a jump drive, a Window's PC to format the jump drive so you can see Xbox files on it, i.e. put songs onto the drive, there's (no mac version of the software), and yes a guitar.

*Digital version of RB3 won't work.
*Newest release of RB3 with the MadCatz logo on the box won't work

This is because you have to roll back the Title Update to the game for customs to work. The newer disc and digital versions have the TU hardcoded into the game and can't be 'downgraded.'

That's confusing. :)
I'll cheek my local EB Games for a used copy. So no Mad Catz logo = good to go, right?

Yeah, I need to as well. I have a bunch I downloaded recently that I need to get on my system.

Mindcrime = :rock:

Here's the rundown.

Good luck finding a guitar though. I think most places cleared them out awhile ago. Might have to hit up Craigslist.

Thanks! That link is awesome.
I can't seem to find the answer to one question I have. I've got the GH3 and GH World Tour guitars. Will they work with RB3? I assumed not, but my quick search showed that they might work with RB2, but I can't find an answer for RB3.

Yes they will work fine

This week's customs releases: 81 songs - over 36 hours - of Genesis!

http://genesis.customscreators.com/

Man, I need to get back into the customs thing. After taking a break from it, I downloaded a whole of of them several months ago. Since I went way over the 256 song cap, I attempted to put all of the songs into three large packages. Only the first one showed up in RB, I got frustrated, and said "screw it."

Maybe this week I'll try to figure out what I did wrong and organize my songs again. I've been talking with a friend about organizing another game night, which we haven't done in ages, so that should give me a little motivation.

I want to do the custom thing. I just don't know if I want to put the work into it.

Holy crap that is badass! For me, I'll wait a few weeks between checking CCC and it never ceases to amaze me the quality of work that those guys pump out.

Re: The Official Rock Band Thread of Music Game Evolution
 
The only hiccup with customs I've ever had was the 256 upload glitch with party buffalo. Once I figured out why shit wasn't showing up in my playlists, it was an easy fix.

Hey gang,

It's been a while since the last relicensing update, just over 4 months since the last update at the end of July, but we'll be saying farewell to a few more tracks in the RB DLC library at the end of December.

As has been the case with all previous relicensing updates, if you already own these tracks then nothing should change for you. The OP in this thread has some additional info, but the short version is that these songs are coming down from the store, not your personal set list, and the only people affected by this announcement are the people that haven't purchased these tracks in the 5 years that they've been available. Here is a list of the affected tracks:

• Dinosaur Jr. – Pick Me Up
• Dinosaur Jr. – The Wagon
• Electric Six Pack 01
• Electric Six – Dance Epidemic
• Electric Six – Gay Bar
• Electric Six – I Don’t Like You
• Joan Jett & The Blackhearts – Fake Friends
• Just Kait – U Suck
• Lights Resolve – Dreaming of Love
• Morningwood – Best Of Me
• Morningwood – Sugarbaby

These tracks are scheduled to come down from stores on December 23rd.
We don't control when 1st party updates their stores, so you may see content come down a little earlier or a little later. Store updates during the holiday are occasionally wonky, so if you're looking to pick up these tracks before they are pulled then you're probably better off not waiting until the last minute.

Dreaming of Love is free so everyone should get it if they don't have it already.

This week's customs are the remaining tracks from Weezer's Blue Album. It's a Festivus miracle! (No, really, this makes me very happy.)

Weezer – “The World Has Turned and Left Me Here”
Weezer – “Surf Wax America”
Weezer – “In the Garage”
Weezer – “Holiday”
Weezer – “Only in Dreams”

Also:

Death Come Cover Me – “Shake It Off” (a German heavy metal Taylor Swift cover)

BTW their Twelve Days of Customs start tomorrow.

I read this in October, containing this quote from Harmonix's PR head:

"We love Rock Band, it’s in the company’s DNA. We own the IP. And when the time’s right we will absolutely come back to it. There’s a whole bunch of factors to take into consideration before jumping in that pool again, but there’s a desire for it, absolutely."

I didn't post it then because it's not really news. But it's something, I guess. :lol:

ROCK BAND™ MUSIC STORE SPRINGS TO LIFE WITH NEW MUSIC FROM ARCTIC MONKEYS, AVENGED SEVENFOLD, AND FOO FIGHTERS!

Cambridge, Mass. – January 12th, 2015 – Harmonix today announced that new tracks from Arctic Monkeys, Avenged Sevenfold, and Foo Fighters are headed to the Rock Band™ Music Store of downloadable content for the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft and the PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system.

Rock Band provides the deepest and best selection of artists, songs and albums through the Rock Band music platform, which features more than 1,400 artists and more than 3,500* tracks via disc and download purchase (complete list of tracks at www.rockband.com/songs). Rock Band’s gigantic music library dwarfs that of any other rhythm video game on the market. More than 100 million songs have been sold through the Rock Band Music Store since its launch on Nov. 20, 2007.

Tracks downloaded from the Rock Band Music Store are compatible with the award-winning full-band Rock Band 3 experience, as well as the controller-based rhythm-action title, Rock Band Blitz, available now on PlayStation®Network and Xbox LIVE® Arcade!

Rock Band DLC Additions for Xbox 360 and PlayStation®3 system

On Tuesday, January 13th, new music from Arctic Monkeys, Avenged Sevenfold, and Foo Fighters will hit the Rock Band Music Store!

“R U Mine?” marks the first appearance of the Grammy Award winning Arctic Monkeys on the Rock Band platform. From 2013’s critically acclaimed album AM, “R U Mine?” – with its driving riffs, syncopated rock beats, and memorable hook – is perfect for Artic Monkeys’ Rock Band debut.

One of the most fan requested artists, Avenged Sevenfold, makes their return to Rock Band with “Shepherd Of Fire.” The track comes from the band’s sixth studio record, 2013’s Billboard chart-topping Hail to the King.

Foo Fighters’ “Something From Nothing” from the band’s latest, 2014’s Sonic Highways, will also be available for download. Heard in the opening sequence of the hit HBO music documentary series Sonic Highways, directed by Foo Fighters’ frontman Dave Grohl, “Something From Nothing” topped the charts when it was released last October.


Available on Xbox 360 and PlayStation®3 system (January 13th, 2012):

• Arctic Monkeys – “R U Mine?”
• Avenged Sevenfold – “Shepherd Of Fire”
• Foo Fighters – “Something From Nothing”


Price:
$1.99 USD, £.99 UK, €1.49 EU per song

(These tracks will be available in Europe on PlayStation®3 system January 14th)

** Dates for Rock Band game tracks are tentative and subject to change. **

I just read this on Facebook and was going to post it. Awesome news that official DLC is back, even if I don't particularly want any of those songs.
