Rock Band - DLC Done Right

And High Voltage is basically a synth song.

They’ve shoehorned some pretty far-out songs into the game.

… I just love High Voltage. :(

I’d love “I’m the Bomb”.

I’m disappointed there’s no “Bohemian Rhapsody,” but I plan now on singing “Fat Bottomed Girls” at my local Rock Band Night and dedicating it to all the ladies in the house.

Me too. That’s a huge miss in what should be a really fun pack.

Wow, Flobots, that’s unexpected. That song was way overplayed in LA and I think it’s a little full of itself, but it could be fun. The Queen Pack is going to be awesome, though. Can’t wait for that.

While in the car, I thought of my dream DLC pack for October:

“Halloween” -The Misfits
“Halloween” -Siouxsie and the Banshees
“Dead Man’s Party” -Oingo Boingo
“Pet Sematary” -The Ramones

I would have Harmonix’s children for that pack.

Yeah they surely will do SOMETHING halloween themed, since they did it for xmas and election day.

My guess is the same old boring death metal everyone does on halloween. It’s scary and stuff.

Pumpkinhead · 2009-10-03T16:47:11.000Z

I wouldn’t mind a little Black Number 1 From Type O Negative for Halloween.

ChristienMurawski · 2009-10-03T16:48:19.000Z

Maybe it’ll be “What’s This?” as done by Fall Out Boy.

Although this might be better for Xmas. I can never decide.

I wouldn’t mind a little Alice Cooper. “I Love the Dead,” perhaps.

J_Matthew_Zoss · 2009-10-03T22:39:41.000Z

I’d add “Everyday is Halloween” by Ministry.

I left that one off because it’s mostly synth. While they’ve done synth songs into guitar before, why would you when there’s such awesomeness with guitar built in?

Hans_Lauring · 2009-10-04T03:28:58.000Z

The Surfin’ Dead by Cramps… in fact, where the hell is my Cramps DLC?

And yeah, I’d love some Ministry, Revolting Cocks (except that the bandname itself eould be censored out) and Type O Negative DLC.

Flyleaf did a version as well.

Or Marilyn Manson’s cover of “This is Halloween.” That’s certainly appropriate.

DDB · 2009-10-04T12:23:10.000Z

If they want a Halloween pack, they need to release a 3-pack of Boingo (who has probably a dozen Halloween songs that all rule) and make Boingo lovers like myself happy.

Just picked up RB2 and I have a couple questions. (1) What’s the fastest way to unlock the songs on disk? (2) If I get RB1 do I need to play through and unlock the songs on RB1 in order to transfer them over to RB2? (3) I assume anything I purchase in the Games Marketplace is automatically unlocked an ready to play in Quickplay mode right? (It would have to be an awful bad design not to, but I figured better to be sure before purchasing).

[Edit: I know about the unlock code to temporarily unlock songs for a single play session, but would prefer to have the songs permanently unlocked.]

Career Challenges. Much faster than the World Tour.
No, just pay the $5.
Yes.

Thanks salwon.

Specifically play the Marathon challenges. Two per tier. Don’t forget that you can save and quite challenges in the middle of a set and come back later where you left off.

Does anyone else consider it a bit of a crime that there isn’t more classic B-52’s DLC? I mean, come on, there needs to be at least Rock Lobster, Legal Tender and Love Shack available.
