Weekly Rock Band DLC: Clash, Police, Ramones

Needs more FULL METALLICA ALBUM.

Not sure I get RB DLC direction sometimes. Sure, music is subjective and what may work for some, may not for others. But I tend to think the devs (who I saw on a special are a lot of musicians who feel they can help 'educate' the masses on music) are sometimes getting a bit too artsy and informative and really hitting a very slim slice of the Rock music pie. I'm down for the occasional way back time machine to 1977 for some Clash - but they are picking songs that weren't even released in the US as singles (in the case of "Complete Control". )

I found when playing RB in a social environment, my friends/family have gravitated towards the songs they know - and being all different ages/genders - they still pick more common/commercial songs with some fringe alternative ones -but nothing like the relatively obscure singles RB is putting out....those are skipped instantly and repeatedly if I download them.

It seems like a large percentage of songs on the CD and DL are either rock/metal/punk songs from 10-15-20 years ago, or very alternative songs from recently. I'd like to see a lot more recent, modern rock (where's any Audioslave? or Priestess, Buckcherry, Linkin Park, Foo FIghters, Nickelback), or some good Girls rockin out (Pink, Ashley Simpson, Evanescence), or any other good rock from the past 5-8 years....instead of the same obscure stuff?

I'm guessing that a lot of what you see in the song list is a result of various legal and technical wranglings. I wonder, if Slash and Tom Morello appear by name in Guitar Hero, have they signed exclusivity deals? Maybe that's why there's no GnR, Rage, or Audioslave in Rock Band. Bands like the Beatles, Led Zeppelin, and Tool guard their IP very tightly, which is probably a mistake but its their right. Other bands like NIN, Radiohead, and QotSA make licensing (and access to master recordings) much easier.

Anyway, I think Harmonix is doing a great job making up for these kinds of issues by deluging us with what content they can. Keep em coming! I am salivating over those NIN tracks!

REALLY MORE DAMN POLICE????? COME ON WHEN IS ENOUGH.......ENOUGH??? WHY CANT WE GET SOME GOOD BANDS LIKE TOOL ...OFFSPRING...RHCP...MOTLEY CRUE.. G N R..THE DEAD WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO THE 18 SONGS FROM THE DEAD WE WERE PROMISED??? AND ALSO I THOUGHT THIS IS ROCKBAND??? WHAT IS "ROCK" ABOUT THE B52'S OR OASIS I MEAN REALLY QUIT SCREWING AROUND AND RELEASE THE FULL ALBUMS ALREADY I HAVNT BOUGHT A DLC FOR WEEKS AND IM NOT GOING TO UNTIL THEY GET SOME REAL ROCK SONGS

Every time the new song list are released, I go on youtube to listen to those I don't know about. I guess everyone is doing the same as most load so slowly.

When do we get Keane?

Meh... pass. Not that these are bad songs, but they're just not what I want for now.

I really want some Queen and some heavier stuff on there, which Rock Band is sorely lacking.

Well, in terms of "fun for everybody" I think I'd take "Clampdown" or "I Fought the Law" from The Clash might be better choices than "Complete Control"

I haven't been keeping up. Have they done "I Wanna Be Sedated" and "Rock and Roll High School" from the Ramones yet?

Another weak DLC for Rockband. Comon guys; there are tons better songs out there than the past 6 DLC.

another pass for me... next month looks really good

we need less police releases i think

LOBOTOMY

Complete Control will probably be the first DLC I'll get.
