hello? last year?

ROCK!

Lounge Act! w00t bassline

But lulz at Something in the Way.
That's going to be boring on guitar.

More or less than So What'cha Want on bass?

Breed!

BREEEEED!

BBBBBBBBBRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD!!!!

DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD!

c-c-c-c-combo breaker!!!!!!!!

BREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEDdddDDDDDdDd

I DONT CARE I DONT CARE I DONT CARE I DONT CARE I DONT CARE I DONT CARE I DONT CARE I DONT CARE I DONT CARE I DONT CARE I DONT CARE I DONT CARE I DONT CARE I DONT CARE I DONT CARE I DONT CARE I DONT CARE I DONT CARE I DONT CARE I DONT CARE

Creed.

:3

Dang, looks like 2 months in a row without DLC for me:(

Why do you hate things that are awesome?

Oops, I meant 2 weeks haha.

Anybody know the reason for those omissions? Especially considering that those are the 2 songs that pretty much everyone would actually want to play? Licensing issues? Or did Courtney Love just try to grind up and smoke the master tapes?

probably will be released in rock band 3? 4?

Just a guess, i wouldn't be surprised, isn't it three songs?
Come as you are
Lithium
Smells like teen Spirit

Lithium was in RB I think...

Nope, In Bloom was in RB1 and Drain you in RB2.

I knew something was amiss. No mention of Lithium! Curses.

yes dude lithium is one of my favorite songs by them

HOLY CRAP!!!!! MY DREAMS HAVE COME TRUE!!! but clearly they have some soft of plan for smells like teen spirit and come as you are..... the 20 free tracks?

My guess is that those two songs may be part of the 20 free d/ls for RB2.

I mean, one can hope, right? Please?

HMX has stated the 20 free tracks are not from artists on the RB2 disc.

Damn. That's too bad. Maybe, then, they'll just release the three hits as their own DLC three-pack? I dunno. I'm still jazzed for these songs but it seems a bit mercenary.

Plus? I know Polly is going to be lame for drummers, but I still would have bought it to get the whole album. But since there isn't the whole album yet... no Polly for me yet.

i dont like polly at all, and territorial pissings isn't that great either imo, but the rest are grand, i'll probably pick up a few :D

If the only ones you're skipping are Polly and Territorial Pissings, you might reconsider and go ahead and just get the pack. For the 5 other songs, it would be $10, and it's only $11 to get all 7, so you get those two songs you don't like as well for a buck.

If that's not what you meant, then sorry... :)

That clearly was supposed to read:

HMX has stated that tracks will be artists NOT on the RB2.

Something about this announcement doesn't smell, and I don't like it.

I could have sworn I smelled teen ..... oh nevermind.

ba dum tish.

On a Plain!

yes maybe.

nirvana 3 pack

smells like teen spirit
come as you are
rape me/heart shaped box/about a girl

but either way im psyched for next week now!

No! I kept telling myself not to buy so many songs, because the 20 free ones will be out soon, but they just keep making increasingly difficult.

Nirvana? Mmmyep, pretty good DLC for next week. I enjoyed listening to most of their songs back in Middle school unlike now that I moved on to other better bands. Then again, I don't completely hate them, it's just that I don't listen to them as much now...

This will also be on the first Rock Band right? If so, I might download Breed so the drums kick my ass like always. :P

Yes, all DLC works on both Rock Band and Rock Band 2. At least for now...

You know I am the same way. but then sometime last year I put in nevermind and it blew me away again. It really is such a awesome album. I forgot how good it was.

Ha, I have to agree with that Eric. I remember that whenever someone put any of the songs in that album on the jukebox in my school's cafeteria, I stayed from one end to the other of the song, even if I get a little late to class. Hell, I even sang some of those songs when I felt funky.

Now those days are long gone after they replaced that album for the HSM soundtrack...

Good thing I've a cellphone that can play music. :P

So that's pretty much "THE" Nevermind they've promised last year, cept they forgot the main song.

it was never promised.

I (kind of sort of) TOLD YOU SO

Actually, I imagine that what was merely a hypothetical situation eventually blossomed into something so massive that they had no choice but to actually tackle Nevermind.

Bummer, I guess my desire to sing "Smells Like Nirvana" will have to wait.

At least I still have "Gump", "My Bologna", "Theme from Rocky XIII", and "Bedrock Anthem"... ;)

They seriously need some of Weird Al's non-parody stuff. "I'll Sue Ya", "Hardware Store", freakin' "Albuquerque"... I mean, the last one alone would be epic, what with it being a long tiring song that the vocalist has to sing through the entirety of and has two completely out-of-the-blue solos.

This petty much confirms my theory that Harmonix is holding back "Smells like Teen Spirit" for Rock Band 3. Here's hoping Guitar Hero releases it as non-exclusive DLC soon and forces Harmonix's hand.

Yup, instant purchase.

In regards to Lithium, Smells Like Teen Spirit and Come As You Are:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_downloadable_songs_for_the_Rock_Band_series#Unconfirmed_songs

Every Nirvana song just announced was part of that list as well as the latest The Offspring pack and some songs on RB2

Maybe they're holding back for the Weird Al parody instead.

BRAiiiiN FReeeeZEEE!

Lawd, I'm sorry everybody, I can't help it, I can't resist. I liked this music as a teenager, but grew up and realized it's absolute utter garbage and just plain shitty music. Chalk this up there to the number of times I had to pipe up when for some god awful reason they made a Guitar Hero: Aerosmith, another example of awfullly crappy music.

*ducks and flees for international waters

that must be why its topped more "best albums of all time" lists than any other album then..

Well if that dictates what is good music to you, then kudos! You'll never have to think for yourself again!
