Surprising no one, next week’s DLC will be a three-pack from English alt-rockers Bush (leaving only Huey Lewis & the News from the revealed artists in HMX’s Christmas livestream). The only song I actually remember from Bush is “Glycerine” – which I love but fully acknowledge would suck to play in Rock Band – so hearing all these again should be a thing. The Songs * Bush – “Everything Zen” * Bush – “Comedown” [...]
It may not have escaped your notice that I’ve been absent from my entire blog of late, let alone Rock Band posts. I talked a little about that in another post, suffice it to say that it’s a new year, I’m feeling better, and it’s time to once more talk about this stuff, a lot. Not only that but I return to Rock Band DLC with a three-pack of Hall & Oates? Someone sure loves [...]
A quick informative DLC post today as I have dragons to slay and flowers to pick in Skyrim. An exciting week coming up though, with some much-needed love for keyboardists: Stevie Wonder. This pack hits it out of the park, and if you have any interest whatsoever in keys you must check these out. But don’t think you should pass them by if you don’t play keys – there’s some incredible funk/soul picks in here, [...]
It’s been a while in coming: This week’s Rock Band DLC is a downloadable version of the Country Track Pack 2, which was previously only available on disc. Even better, all tracks have been updated for Rock Band 3, meaning keys and harmonies. Possibly a sticking point for those who bought the disc ages ago, but really good news for anybody who wanted to cherry pick from the setlist. (Hey Harmonix, consider doing this for [...]
Breaking Benjamin return to the game with their second pack, and they’re joined by a lone single from Papa Roach. The Songs * Breaking Benjamin – “Sooner or Later” * Breaking Benjamin – “Breath” + * Breaking Benjamin – “Until the End” * Papa Roach – “Forever” + = pro-guitar/bass chart available The Thoughts I don’t really know Breaking Benjamin, but for some reason I had in my head that they were kind of [...]
Harmonix is celebrating Halloween the best way it knows how, with a full-on Zombie invasion. Having a busy week so no commentary this time around. But I will say to give the song by The Darkness a try if you don’t know it; it’s a delightful little bit of sparkling glam rock totally at odds with the band name. The video is amazing. * The Darkness – “I Believe in a Thing Called Love” + [...]
Ahh, it’s a cool, refreshing glass of “something I like”. The Clash single, at any rate, which is just about perfect. There’s a bit too little variation in Blink-182 songs – generally speaking – for me to not feel like I probably already have whatever they’re offering. But that’s without listening to them, so I could be surprised. The Songs * The Clash – “Rock the Casbah” + * Blink-182 – “The Party Song” [...]
Another week that’s sour for my tastes as we get a four-pack from alt rappers/nu metal/blah blah genre group Limp Bizkit. The Songs * Limp Bizkit – “Gold Cobra” * Limp Bizkit – “Nookie” + * Limp Bizkit – “My Way” * Limp Bizkit – “Re-Arranged” + = pro-guitar/bass chart available The Thoughts “Golden Cobra”, now with 500% of your daily air humping. And yeah, okay. So I listened to all these songs [...]
The DLC for next week isn’t so much for me, being a four pack from metal group Slipknot. Should be a nice seller for Harmonix though and as I’m still several weeks behind on picking stuff up, I appreciate the break. The Songs * Slipknot – “Wait and Bleed” + * Slipknot – “Left Behind” * Slipknot – “Pulse of the Maggots” * Slipknot – “Snuff” + + = pro-guitar/bass chart available [...]
DLC this week is all Nirvana to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Nevermind, which by the way doesn’t make me feel old at all. All of Nevermind is already in the game of course – at least in some form or another – so the new tracks are from In Utero and a single from their eponymous collection. Also included are ten pro-guitar upgrades for songs already in the game, all Nirvana so basically all [...]
