Probably not. If you didn't export Rock Band 2 to Rock Band 3 you can't get access to it.
There are some great songs on the RB1 and RB2 setlists that will be inaccessible to people who were unaware of the exports back then.

I'm afraid not, and the process of getting the Rock Band 2 export at this point is fairly complicated.
Kamelot would be awesome. Get Center of the Universe or The Black Halo on there. New stuff from Haven would be great too.
Wow, yeah, looking at the lists, there are some great instrumental compositions there.
I'd have loved to perform the drum intro in Painkiller. The vocals, not so much haha.
And the bass intro in Peace Sells! And Hysteria!

When I played at PAX, I played Hysteria in RB4. I think I've also seen it for sale in the DLC marketplace.
But Metropolis Pt. 1 is the best Dream Theater song that isn't called Space-Dye Vest.

Picking up a track pack from gamestop with an unused export code is probably an impossibility, but it's probably worth it to get RB1/2/Beatles/Green Day at the very least. I'm guessing you need to have 3 to import the RB2 setlist, too.

Eh. Not really. That song in particular is a rip on Stax R&B/Soul. It's OK, not great tho. Not the best "guitar" song.

Yikes. Poor show from both games this time around.

Rock Band 1 export doesn't require a code.
Green Day export is no longer supported, but the whole soundtrack for that game was made available as DLC.
There is no Beatles export.
Yes, you need Rock Band 3 to import Rock Band 2's setlist, but please look at the link I posted a few posts up.

Yeah fair enough and there's nothing wrong with that. But it ends up being that the setlist is generally meh. Guitar Hero is usually 70% good 30% eh. Rock Band is usually the complete opposite. Yes I'm making up percentages but it's generally how I feel when looking at GH setlists as opposed to Rock Band.
Will have to check them out.
YES!
You'd need that keyboard for Space-Dye Vest. Octavarium is my fav but not like a 24 minute song is ever gonna make it. Surprised Metropolis with its 9 minute length is on there.

Wont't Get Fooled Again isn't 9+ minutes /nitpicking
Anyway yeah, there have been a bunch of long songs in the DLC, even 10+ minute songs aren't unheard of (2112, Do You Feel Like We Do, The Camera Eye, Rime of the Ancient Mariner).

I think I need to switch my preorder from PS4 to XB1 with the DLC transfer the way it is. I owned 1, 2, and 3 or 360 and that's where my purchased DLC is. Do I currently need access to my 360 or the game discs to transfer the old content?

Also Heart of the Sunrise and CCR's cover of I Heard It Through the Grapevine.

Ah, perfect. Yeah, outlook doesn't look as awesome as I hoped, but I spent the most time in RB1 anyway, so whatevs.
Can't believe I forgot those two. Those are great.
I was probably one of the few really popular Elvis songs they still have usable masters for.Weird choice for a Presly song...I mean there's guitar at the start but after that its buried in overproduction violins and what not...not a bad song but they could of chosen something more...rock ?

I wouldn't be surprised if it was really the only option. Most of Elvis's classic songs are probably too old to be usable, for technical reasons.
even off the same album I prefer Take the Time and Under a Glass Moon
since there's no keyboard in RB4 (or am I wrong?) I don't know why they didn't go with more metal DT. The early prog DT makes sense if keyboard is in the game I guess. This Dying Soul would be great for all parties involved.
and since your avatar is boss, there should be some FNM or Bungle, but Harmonix lol.

Rock Band really does need some Mr. Bungle.
Aww, I was excited to find out the full tracklist, but Meh apart from maybe a handful
oh well try again in Rockband 5 because we know it will be made regardless.
For now i'll stick with the PS3, and when four goes cheap enough i'll buy it purely for a handfull of songs, and ps4 only dlc

Land Of Sunshine is near the top of my most wanted list for sure. Vocals would be amazing.
"Here's how to order!"
I'm leaning towards just getting this on PS4 and leaving all of my DLC/exported tracks behind on 360, since I can't convince myself that I want an Xbox One and I probably wouldn't play this as much as I did back when I was in college anyway. Have they talked at all about the possibility of re-releasing old on-disk songs as DLC? I'm sure they'd have to work new deals for them, but there are too many popular songs on those disks for them just to be lost forever.

They could probably get away with Carousel if they cut out the mock-vomiting.

Would be nice, but without the backing of juggernauts like EA and MTV, and with Madcatz in dire straits too, it'd probably cost too much to get those old songs back as DLC without a major publisher's help.
HMX aren't as well funded as they used to be.
When I was a kid I used to always look for "short skirt" pornography in Kazaa and I would never get what I want. I'd always get a music video or mp3 for the song "Cake Short Skirt/Long Jacket". 15+ years later I still have never heard this song lol, but it's in Rock Band now.

You can still export Rock Band 1. You can try to contact EA Support for a Rock Band 2 export, but you need a copy of Rock Band 3, and you may have to try a few times , you won't always get a key.
If you used to watch Chuck, you know Short Skirt/Long Jacket.
I have Rock Band 3 and everything I would ever want has been exported into Rock Band 3 for me, on my 360.
Is it too late for me to have all my DLC and Rock Band 1 and 2 and 3 songs show up in Rock Band 4? Fuck, I will be depressed if I missed some kind of deadline.

No EA or Viacom money this time around.
Any DLC or exports you have already bought are good to go. You're not too late for the Rock Band 3 export, either, it's not available yet.
Could you direct me to how to do this...or is it done when you get RB4?
Never seen Chuck.
Awesome, thanks so much for that news. *phew*

You can probably just buy it from the Xbox 360 or PS3 marketplace for $5.
PAULINK
I microwave steaks.
Considering the game is clocked at around 6 gigs, it would probably take them whole RB dlc catalog and then some to fill the disc lmao.
Developers shouldn't be worried about the amount of disc space leftover anyways, the less space it takes, the better.
Xbox and Playstation
I'll also link to FyreWulff's great post on some of the key exports and methods of expanding your library.
Bye!
I just don't get it. Either you like the game, or you don't. If they made a game with exactly all the songs YOU want on it, they'd sell exactly one copy. And you'd still find something to complain about. Either you want in on the PLATFORM, which is what it is, or you don't. Stop acting like they're dicking you over. Buy the ticket, take the ride.
