MUSE. It's MUSE. Don't bother clicking any wikipedia links, just know. Don't know who Muse is? That's ok, not everyone in America does (and we all know how the Europeans are with their editions of Rock Band ;D)

Personally? I think I'd enjoy a little Muse in my Rock Band, so I hope it doesn't stay with Europe.

I've known of Muse for several years now. Time Is Running Out was a pretty big hit here for awhile. Doesn't mean I know what the fuck they look like.

Oh me either, I just get annoyed when people post pictures of bands, because then we have a page of people asking who it is. People should just put the band name in a spoiler tag at the end of your post or something.

Haha sorry. I know it's frustrating as hell from back in my Bemani days, and I suppose DLC just makes things worse.

Due to work Sony is doing on their store they won't be adding new material for a couple weeks so this won't release on PlayStation Store this week. When they go back up with new material in a few weeks, though, it will be there lovingly waiting for you. They will appear on Tuesday, April 8th, on Xbox 360.

Ugh, the OXM songs? I was hoping the new store and the Boston pack meant we were on our way to bigger and better things (like motherflipping Who's Next or Nevermind). Right now Boston is looking like the shining pearl in an ocean of turds.

Ironic that they release this on the week when PSN users can't get it, considering I bet a pretty substantial percentage of the Xbox DLC crowd got these songs already.

I'm going to have to watch the videos again, but none of them struck me as worth paying for when I watched them last. Are any of them good for a expert drummer?

My educated guess is that they don't want to have too much awesome come out while the PSN is down. If there were 6-10 new tracks available when they come back online, some of them might not get the love they deserve.

Full album downloads when PSN is back up. Believe!

Sprode and Rock Rebellion are both fun drum tracks.

I played last night and there was yet another update on the 360. What did it do?

I already had the music store update from a week ago...

I find it funny that the leaked March list was so off the mark, also (and yes, I know it's April).

The fact that they're releasing these OXM songs gives me hope that they'll do the same for the European songs, too.

So you're saying they're releasing some music that you like and some that you don't like? Shocking!

Hey, I have a horrendous looking drum set right now but I can pound away on it forever. I used a block of wood to reinforce my snapped pedal, and then later again to reinforce the snapped base of the pedal.

Expert play can be a bitch, especially with things like the Thrash Pack and Siva out.

I just get anything that's fun to drum, even if I wouldn't listen to the song outside of Rock Band. I have a lot of songs now.

Isn't the PS3 version region-free, though? And at 170 Euros isn't it cheaper to import too?

Anyway, the OXM songs being released pretty much confirms (in my mind) that the EU-exclusive and Wii-exclusive(?) songs will be available to everyone in some fashion at some point.

Yes, though if any of your instruments break, you're kind of screwed for getting them fixed. I must be the only person in this thread who hasn't had something break yet *knocks on wood*

Why are people complaining about this week's DLC? This is nothing but GOOD NEWS for PS3 owners/importers who couldn't get the 360-exclusive songs. It will resume to usual level next week once PSN is back online. Two weeks of music that YOU don't like does not mean it's suddenly shit

My import is fine too. I'm careful with my drums though and that doesn't mean tapping them as gently as possible. I play it quite hard and they're fine
