Fucking yes.
Clint Eastwood and Feel Good Inc are great choices, and I wouldn’t have expected Re-Hash. But good call, even though I might prefer Tomorrow Comes Today or 19/2000, as songs.
Good Joplin, Jefferson, and Who too. I’ll get everything but Chest Fever it seems.
Me too, I love singing along to White Rabbit in my car, now I can drive my wife nuts in the home as well.
P.S. - Chest Fever? I would pay some serious money to get ‘The Weight.’
Man, good stuff mostly … But Re-Hash?
Not 5/4, or 19-2000?

Same, I think that was one of the songs I suggested when I filled out a questionnaire when getting the free DLC tracks. Now I really hope that there will be a Xbox live point deal somewhere between now and the 11th
If they put in “Somebody to Love” I will be a happy little camper after “White Rabbit.”
Actually, one nice thing about Magic Bus, it’s the first Who we’ve gotten since the best-of pack. I was sort of wondering if we’d ever get any more other than that one pack, good to see we are.

The Weight would be awesome RB3 DLC (with backing harmony vocals FTW).
Yeah, I’m less excited about this The Band song, as I am about the prospect of some other ones.

So, I’ve just played the Gorillaz pack. They all start off fairly simple, but layer upon layer gets added with each song, and I’d call Clint Eastwood the hardest, on guitar, just for the first solo. Save your star power for it, it’s a big ol’ pull-off section with some skips in it. Rough stuff for sure. The second solo has a few trickier spots, but much easier.
None of them are particularly hard, but they’re refreshingly different, like the band itself. Good plays.
Oh, GREAT effects use. And nice that they got the drummer rapping for Clint Eastwood. Whoever set up the transitions and effects created the perfect atmosphere on this pack.
The drums are kinda boring, as expected, on Rehash and Clint Eastwood, but there’s a lot more going on in Feel Good Inc. than I expected. Glad that one’s fun since it’ll probably get the most play at parties.
I guess it’s just one of those things where to people who don’t know much about music (me), you just overlook things. I was completely oblivious to the high-hat going the whole time in the song till I listened to it again after having drummed it.

Wow, two great weeks. Good job Harmonix.
Nice!!! I was afraid all these new songs cater to the hardcore players so the difficulty would be high but thankfully they ain’t. I’m a very low Hard difficulty player so the 2 songs I’m interested in(Piece of me heart, White bunny) are perfect for me. It’s like they know me!
But only one Janis Joplin(also one J airplane)? She died 40yrs ago, why couldn’t they throw in Bobby McGee and another track or 2? Who controls her music, are they asking too much to license? Or maybe Harmonix didn’t want anymore? What’s the story?

The one thing you can be absolutely certain of with Harmonix is that your questions will go unanswered.

nine page article on rock band beatles
A CYLINDER FITTED with metal pins can be aligned next to a steel comb with teeth of varying lengths in such a manner that when an unwinding spring causes the cylinder to rotate, the pins will strike the teeth in a predefined sequence, producing a melodic ring.
This technically accurate description of a music box utterly fails to convey the charming effect of opening one up and watching a little ballerina twirl around to the tune. Similarly, an explanation of Rock Band and Guitar Hero will leave most people who have never played them perplexed as to the attraction.
It was posted in the Beatles Rock Band thread. However, it does have relevance here too, since the game will get three Beatles albums as DLC.
Yup.
A year later, I’m still looking for an awesome RB2 patch!

pretty sure the RB2 patch is tied to the RBN patch, as previously discussed.
Makes total sense from a software / programming perspective. These patches are expensive in every dimension, so best to have one mega-patch than a few smaller ones.

This is my understanding as well.
