I love the Iron Maiden pack. Had a chance to play through it on release day and had a blast.
Wow, that Spinal Tap selection really missed the point. Or, at least, a major opportunity.
The Maiden pack rocks, though. I haven’t had a chance to sample all of it yet, but I did get a nice warm-up run out of “2 Minutes to Midnight” and “Run to the Hills” after breakfast this morning. Even on hard, those probably shouldn’t be used to warm up with.
Fun as heck, though.

I’m still emotionally scarred from playing drums in On the Road Again in GH:WT.
Kinda sucks, I wish I hadn’t bought the first country pack DLC because I would like to pick this up for the 12 exclusive songs.
Well, if it’s priced at what 12 songs might cost, I know at least a few people that are going to be thrilled. I don’t get the logic behind this kind of bundlefuckery, but I guess I’m not representative of what they are trying to appeal to.
Good gaming with sluggo, delirium and Reldan, as we took, and will hopefully hold, fourth place for the Iron Maiden DLC Battle of the Bands! Run to the Hills was, of course, our downfall (and tweaked something in my vocal cord), but the group in first place is a good 1.5 million ahead of us, so they’ve definitely had some practice.
Might want to try this with some other battles in the future, starting earlier to have a better chance at taking first. The upcoming Spinal Tap DLC, maybe?
Damn it Harmonix, don’t go all bundlefuck on me. I like you guys, a lot. I’d even buy two of the exclusive songs on that country pack (Willie Nelson and Kenny Rogers? It’s like…the law). But absolutely nothing else on that appeals to me (beyond sin wagon, bought already). And Rascal Flatts is actively hated by me, as is Swing.
Why are you choosing to lose money by making me unable to buy two songs I want? Well, not unable, but unwilling due to the price they’d be sold at, and the awful stuff I’d be buying to get at them.

I’d buy Willie Nelson and Kenny Rogers in a heartbeat. The rest, meh.
The part of me that likes country music is jumping up and down in my head like an angry gorilla and yanking on my optic nerves. That’s not a good thing. Was there a fire at the RCA storage vault or something?
They will be DLC at some point. Patience.
The “On The Road Again” expert drum chart in GH:WT it s TERRRRRRRRRRRRRIBLE.

It’s pretty much what’s in the song…
Just sayin’
I have to disagree. Granted I haven’t charted many songs, but it sure didn’t play that well, not compared to my expectations.
I think it’s another case of bad Guitar Hero charting, myself.
You are right. It it pretty much one long snare roll I guess.
I just wanted to warn potential RB drummers who may not have known before buying.
This is a really late reply, sorry. I forgot I posted this until a tune from the first album came up on my shuffle!
Would you not agree that the basic focus of II and III are totally different? There are a couple of songs on III that I’m into - for example, The Crowing, which builds on the fairly simple-yet-epic rock of the first record, but overall I thought they were stretching way beyond their means. I don’t think III is an incremental shift at all.
Welcome Home is a good tune too. I like the verses.
I basically think that after and mostly including the second record they started getting ideas above their station. Maybe to fans of their later work the first record sounds boring, but I see it as a tightly focused rock album where the songs work both as a whole and on an individual level. I really, really don’t get that from the later records at all.
But then again, I like Radiohead’s recent stuff more than the early material, so I’ve had the same argument put to me in reverse and found it kind of annoying myself. I guess the difference is I just don’t think Coheed is a good enough band to pull off what they try to pull off.

Above their station? Man, put down the monocle and just listen to some music.
I hadn’t realized the Maiden DLC was pack only. I almost got it, and then I thought the better of it and moved on. They will either need to address your inability to control difficulty, your inability to deactivate songs, or their apparent need to bundlefuck me all of a sudden. Too bad, I really wanted some of those songs.
Between that and the non-integrated future Rock Bands (Beatles, Lego, and potentially Pearl Jam although with any luck it will be more like the AC/DC which is the lesser evil), it seems like Guitar Hero is winning the business model war. It’s really hard not to hold Harmonix up to what may be an unfair standard, but they started off so well. Fucking bullshit.

I do wish the game had slower difficulty progression. The difference between Normal and Hard is a chasm of pain.
It is pack only?
I bought the whole pack myself. But I thought there was the option to buy individual tracks for $2 each.
You should be able to download individual tracks, still. My friend only bought The Trooper.
