Rock Band - DLC Done Right

delirium:

You should be able to download individual tracks, still. My friend only bought The Trooper.

Really? All I saw in the music store was the maiden Pack, and none of the individually listed tracks that usually follow. Maybe I need to check again.

Shadarr · 2009-06-17T14:01:51.000Z

Could be because of the general Live and Marketplace screwiness today. I’ve only bought three songs (so far)

Not_One_Of_Us · 2009-06-17T14:20:37.000Z

Okay, yeah, the Music Store is currently all fucked up.

Robert_Sharp · 2009-06-17T18:02:04.000Z

I bought about half the Maiden pack, only. You do NOT have to buy the whole thing.

Chris · 2009-06-17T20:21:41.000Z

You should though, it’s freaking awesome.

Since RBDLC is dead forever or something, any guidance on which are the best drum tracks in the Iron Maiden pack?

delirium · 2009-06-17T21:00:11.000Z

Fear of the Dark, Hallowed be thy Name, and Aces High would be my picks. Pretty much everything is pretty fun, though, aside from Run to the Hills and perhaps Number of the Beast.

question: WTF happened to the scheduled Tuesday DLC? I know Live was down most of Tuesday, but it’s Wednesday now, and… nada.

Shadarr · 2009-06-17T21:40:08.000Z

They’re still having problems with the Marketplace. That’s my guess for the culprit.

Aww man. What happened to it?

Jamie_Madigan · 2009-06-18T20:56:17.000Z

I kind of like the Evanescence pack. Not too hard for me, but challenging enough. It’s nice to get some songs of middling difficulty for those of us who aren’t guitar gods.

They had some domain name problems, it is back now though.

The Evanescence pack is actually pretty fun on drums. Nothing terribly complicated but the pedal-work is fun and the songs are decent.

The_B · 2009-06-19T08:49:57.000Z

Next week’s DLC?

Err… Maroon 5… yeah…

Maroon 5 “Little of Your Time”
Maroon 5 “Makes Me Wonder”
Maroon 5 “Wake Up Call”
(Although on the more positive side, there’s also the Warped Tour pack.)

A Day to Remember “The Downfall of Us All”
Bad Religion “21st Century Digital Boy”
Chiodos “I Didn’t Say I Was Powerful, I Said I Was a Wizard”
Escape the Fate “The Flood”
Underoath “Reinventing Your Exit”

WarrenM · 2009-06-19T08:53:54.000Z

The Evanescence pack is actually pretty fun on drums.

I’ll give it a go this weekend then. I bought it but it hasn’t come up in rotation yet.

Midnight_Son · 2009-06-19T09:09:53.000Z

Dear HMX,

Where’s the Stars and Lips mic patch, eh? After all, RB2 has been out for 360 since LAST SEPTEMBER!
You gonna announce any more albums or what?

KThnxkbye!

Dufresne · 2009-06-19T09:29:16.000Z

I’m actually relieved that they’ve finally succeeded in making a week where I won’t be buying any of the songs. Gives my wallet a much-needed break.

I still haven’t bought any songs from this week either, but I expect I’ll pick up “Bring Me to Life” at least. I’m on the fence with the Spinal Tap stuff; none of it looks particularly difficult, meaning I’m less likely to play the songs on my own, and since none of them are from the movie, I don’t think they’ll be popular picks at parties.

Shadarr · 2009-06-19T11:11:37.000Z

Maroon 5 and Bad Religion? Woo!

Warped Tour? really? I’m sure 13 year olds around the world will be happy, at least

I was comparing it more to Maroon 5, although to be fair I doubt I’ll be getting any of this week’s offerings at all either.

theborbes · 2009-06-19T23:19:47.000Z

well, of course musical taste is so varied from person to person, but I’d put anyone in the warp tour on the same level of quality of maroon 5. Then again, some maroon 5 songs are catchy.
