Re: Rock Band 2

That would be interesting.

That would be awesome, but wonder what the cost would be.

One song is obviously going to be censored.

Re: Rock Band 2

Sounds more like their own game by how it's phrased in the article.

Re: Rock Band 2

It could be something like "Progressive Rock Band Featuring Pink Floyd" or something like that.

Re: Rock Band 2

Rust in Peace will be awesome...just not sure how much of it I want to get since I already have the Peace Sells album. Definitely Hangar 18 and then maybe 3 or 4 others.

Absolutely cannot wait for this. Peace Sells is a great, and maddening, album to play on there.

Re: Rock Band 2

If you're wondering where Rock Band 3 is, a year and a half after Rock Band 2 and five months after the launch of The Beatles: Rock Band, it seems EA isn't sure it's going to get to publish it. During an investor conference call, EA execs revealed that the publisher's deal with Viacom (the company that owns MTV, Harmonix, Rock Band and maybe you as well) is only active through fiscal year 2010 (which ends March 31).

and in other news....

The Royalty Network is a website which aims to educate members of the music industry on copyright laws and how to protect their intellectual property. As part of this service, it reports when requests have been filed by companies to use the licenses of songs in their catalogue. In the January report, the Royalty Network lists requests for the following four songs by Harmonix, the makers of Rock Band:

* "Ante Up" by M.O.P.
* "Evacuate the Dancefloor" by Cascada
* "Say Aah" by Trey Songz
* "The Way I Are" by Timbaland feat D.O.E

Re: Rock Band 2

Nothing screams rock band like Timbaland.

Yup.

I'm slowly losing interest in this game. It probably doesn't help that last night while I was playing the bass pedal that I bought a while back and had only used about 4-5 times broke. It's not like I am stomping on the thing with all of my might... I guess I need some super heavy duty one but don't want to pay $75 for a damn pedal.

Re: Rock Band 2

I think the problem is there are only so many Artists Harmonix can get because certain groups charge a lot for there music and Harmonix doesn't want to pay it.

Likewise, though for me it's because I'm rather busy with other stuff, including writing and playing my own music.

Re: Rock Band 2

For me personally in general, yes there are exceptions but in general the DLC has been crap for RBII.

It seemed with the original the DLC was much better. Now this is for my tastes, but now there's not much I want. And when I do, it's usually live so I pass.

I think the genre has peaked.

Re: Rock Band 2

Rolling Stone says next week's DLC is Otis Redding.

I am not familiar with Redding's music, but at least it's a new artist.

Agreed. The DLC sucks.
