There Is New Rock Band DLC and Nothing Makes Sense Anymore

I read the announcement while on break at work, and almost LITERALLY did this. "Something From Nothing" and "R U Mine" are KILLER tracks. Now, I'm just mad that I threw out my drum set. Still have my guitar and mic, though.

I can actually play R U Mine because it's in one of the Rocksmith games. Makes it weird to think about going back. Really happy to see they chose Shepherd of Fire. Should be a great chart.

WHERES MY MOTHERFUCKING MUSE?!

(Seriously, i still have my drumset with pro cymbals waiting for it)

If they released a new Rock Band or Guitar Hero for next gen consoles, I'd buy it.

I thought they had literally killed the store. There was a bunch of stories about 6 months ago concerning the longevity of the store, and I thought I had read you wouldn't be able to buy any more music, due to licensing or something.

Wow, I'm not sure what to think of a possible new uprising of plastic instrument games.

On one hand, I love the idea of those games coming back, purely for nostalgia's sake. On the other hand, I've gotten rid of all my instruments, my games, and almost all of last generation's consoles. I've kinda moved on, sadly. I can say that I'd like to play a new Rock Band, but it would really need to add something new, something that really made it stand out from the others for me to invest in all that again. One thing I think would be cool is making new guitars that have buttons that slide slightly up or down the neck and from side to side, to simulate bending or sliding up or down a string, but that would inconvenience many people who are looking for reasons to use their old instruments. A monthly feature where Harmonix offers new music, not just the latest hits or classics, would be nice for someone like me who struggles to find new good music without asking hipster buddies or constantly downvoting songs on Pandora.

Idea:

Something that is not even close to realistically possible, but would be damn cool and would sell a shitload of Rock Bands, is if they created a story mode similar to the tours of the previous Rock Bands; it covers their first three albums, so maybe 30-45 songs, all of them original songs written by established bands for the game. (It'd read something like "THIS SONG KICKS ASS", by *your band name* [written by the Foo Fighters]). The artists wouldn't be required to even take the song super seriously; they could just have some fun with it, but they'd have to make it a good song since this would be a representation of their band to a crowd they may not usually appeal to. They could release it as a standalone soundtrack as well! It'd get mixed with a new, smaller set of songs your band covers, just like the old games, to make a complete soundtrack for the game.THAT would make me buy a Rock Band game more than anything.

Activision is free to take that idea as well ;)

But otherwise, I doubt I'll be coming back to play any plastic instrument games if they're just going to play and be like the previous installments.

So Is rock band night is back at pax east this year???

Still have the video for that last one.

With the power of the Xbox One, we can finally have guitar strap technology!

You know what

I think the world is ready for a new Rock Band

Well, I'm glad I got Rock Band for Christmas

harmonix sent me out a questionare thingy not long ago asking what machine i would like to see Rockband 4 on, maybe they releasing new music in preperation...

@alex: since that Foo fighters song is on there new album that just recently came out I wouldn't be surprised if this is the record industry trying to get attention to some bands, like basically advertising.

I kind of think this genre is dead but it was a fun party game for awhile.

I also hated how the constant dlc updates would flood the Xbox live dlc section of the market place. But that was basically Microsoft's fault not separating music dlc that comes out daily from normal dlc. So I myself don't miss the dlc.

Hilariously, this is the kind of overrepresented music that led to people not playing Rock Band anymore. Anyone asking for more Foo Fighters or Avenged Sevenfold is in the extreme minority and has gotten enough.

"R U Mine" is a fine addition, I suppose. "Do I Wanna Know" probably would've been smarter for bringing back the karaoke kids.

@griddler: Only 10 years too late

@Coreus: With thousands of tracks available and potentially more in the future? Hardly.

@i_stay_puft: Indeed you can. All three tracks can be played in Blitz. Enjoy!

these songs are bad but i want to support new rock band stuff!!!!! shit

@zaapp1: Always wanted some Ian Dury in Rock Band!
