I really like the album, or Tenacious D in general. Awesome that this game is still getting content support, really hoping that the current gen consoles get a new Rock Band/Guitar Hero!

Should have choose 'To be the best'.

Harmonix needs an 80's montage to reboot Rock band for current gen,

Seriously. If there isn't a new Rock Band game in the works I'll eat my imaginary hat.

To Be The Best is just about a minute long, so I have to vote against that, no matter how great of a song it is.

Well, hopefully we can compromise by getting the entire album in Rock band 4.

I doubt this will be possible due to stupid music license bullshit I think they might do something safe like Dance Central Spolight so the users can focus on choosing what DLC they want. But they might just go balls out and do a 130 song set list, which I would prefer. I've discovered some great songs/artists from the on disc setlists that I never heard before.

Well, gotta get both of those. I'm going to assume that the fact that they're putting out a couple of last-gen tracks mean that forward compatibility to current gen is a go for whenever they release the new Rock Band.

Those song titles can't be random lol

Is Rock Band back?

Harmonix right now:

Yes, Harmonix is finally adding more songs about dicks.

Thanks for the separate thread. I wonder if we will continue to get monthly DLC until/even after? Harmonix announces a new RB game maybe at E3. I will pick up Back to the Shack for sure and checkout gameplay of Rise of the Fenix first then maybe get it.

Rize Of The Phoenix is easily the best Tenacious D song in the game so far, and one of the best overall guitar tracks in the game. The rapid strumming in the middle has a good chance of catching you off guard though, the rhythm feels really weird, yet consistent, surprised I managed to perfect it on my first try. The outro solo at the end is rad as fuck too. Bass is pretty great too! Well worth the dosh! Dug the Weezer tune, a tad simple, but the bassline gets pretty interesting at parts. First playthrough scores are below:

The option would be great, but I'd rather buy songs ala carte.

I thought I'd get a new audience, I forgot that disco sucks
I ended up with nobody and I started feeling dumb
Maybe I should play the lead guitar and Pat should play the drums"

- 'Back To The Shack' by Weezer

I think this is Harmonix apologizes about abandoning Rock Band. Also Rock Band 4 is inminent I think, they're waiting for PAX East or E3.

Love it! Hope there is either more DLC on the way or a new Rockband title in the works!!
