I feel obligated to preemptively defend Discord here, seeing as it's not terrible. It is pretty repetitive electronica, but it's not as dreadful (especially in terms of lyrics) as you'd expect of a brony song.
That said, Kaipa is excellent, pay attention to that instead.
And it's a good thing we have pretty solid RBN releases this week, because...

Love Shack.
Holy shit.
A song I'll actually buy.

Well I guess this isn't the Rock Band Mega-Thread anymore, so it doesn't really fit ITT, but I figured it is something some people in here have been wanting to know.
It got posted in the XBL News thread already though.

I'm kind of excited about 'Young,' so adding that to Wicker Man makes two songs I am interested in I suppose.
'Shine' and 'Metal Health' will be cool too I guess. Shame we haven't really gotten any Collective Soul before 'Shine' (unless my memory is failing me).
I am so excited for the gameplay of Blitz. I loved Frequency and Amplitude so much. Guitar Hero was great and all but it was kind of sad to see the success it had and then realize that there wouldn't be a new Freq/Amp game.

Are they gonna hit us with an export fee on these songs?
Rewrite
Not as deep as he thinks
Probably. My guess is $15 for the game, $10 for the export. Total $25.
I mean, aren't you EXCITED to play this in every song!??
15$ for the whole shebang, you basically buy the full Blitz as a DLC pack.

Awesome will get the foster the people songs for sure. Seems like they'd be pretty fun to play.

Gonna have to pick up Helena Beat. But this whole month has redeemed the generally uninteresting year for me.

I think it's safe to say that the second promised Poets of The Fall song is no longer on the release docket.
That one's RBN, and the group that did it (Alt-Strum Productions) is still running, so you can always pester them directly to get more.
Hi guys. I played Guitar Hero 3 long time ago and that was the only kind of game that I played (meaning, no other GHs or Rock Band were purchased).
After a break in life, I wanna go back to playing those titles, but I'm so confused about the import thing in Rock Band 2/3.
Can I buy RB3 and import every song from RB2? Meaning, DLC and the original tracklist?
If so, how can I do that? I just wanna clear this out before ordering my copy. Thanks!
(Also, can I import Rock Band 1 stuff?)

If you buy all the games new (this is crucial) you can export all but a few songs from both RB1 and RB2 to play in RB3. All DLC songs that worked in RB1 and RB2 also work in RB3, but not the other way around since RB3 was released because of the addition of synth and harmony vocals. The export process is self-explanatory within RB1 - you do it from within that game itself - and should be similar for RB2, although I have only personally done it from RB1 myself.
EDIT: Uh, I might have confused some details here with Guitar Hero exports, but most of the information you need should be available at http://www.rockband.com/support/export-rock-band. I'm mostly unsure about how much you need new copies of the games, but it should be apparent at the link.
I see, thanks.
If I buy a used copy but the person DIDN'T import any songs... Can I still import them? (Because will be really hard to find a sealed copy of all 3 of them!)
Anyway, wow, that seems so good to be true. RB3 with all imports will have like, what, 600 songs?
Crazy!

For RB1, yes; the export is handled in RB1 itself and merely requires a $5 fee to make it happen. It gets a little bit more complicated with RB2, depending on the system you've got. For either the 360 or PS3, you will need a code that's printed on the back of the manual; if it's already been entered, then you're SOL.
And, that RB2 method carries on to track packs and Lego (I believe).

I got lucky and brought abused RB 2 with the code unused. It might've worth asking if any GAFFERs have rb2 and have not used the code.

I recall needing a code on RB3 to get RB2 imports. Or was it only a save? You need a code for Green Day imports to RB3 though, which I unfortunately don't have.
Wii export for RB2 just needed a save file.
You can ask EA support for a new RB2 manual code that will let you export the game (by paying 10$ for it from RB3). This code is made to be given out for the export, since it does not let you get the 20 Free RB2 songs.
If you get a new RB2 disc w/ manual then you get the ability export and a 20 song pack.

Bought sealed copy from Play-Asia! US$34 the US version.
Good deal, I guess?
But this joy won't last long tho. I have the 2007 Xbox and I only have left 5.7gb of space. I think it won't be enough for me to rip both Rock Bands songs and all the DLC I'll download. Fuck.
I don't have RB or RB3 yet, so will play RB2 + DLC till I figure something out. I mean... Nobody wants a 2007 Xbox, is worth close to nothing, right? (And I already deleted all non-essential stuff... Maybe I can delete those huge DLCs from Halo 3 and RE5... but still won't last long... )

How much do you intend to get? On my Wii, I'm at 120 songs with 2.5 GB. Only get what you'll play.
Exactly. But each Rock Band rip is close to 2gb. So, RB3 with RB and RB2 songs = 4gb.
Suppose this leave me with 2gb left. Obviously I'll only get songs that I really like, but what about everything else? I mean, future releases, updates, new xbox live updates, regular games updates, etc. Halo 4 has some mandatory install, IIRC. I still have a lot of gaming to do! RE6, Black Ops 2, Sleeping Dogs, etc.
I think I will have to sell it soon. Damn, so many memories with my white guy.
I didn't buy "Desperate Escape" on 360 (RE5) because of this!
EDIT: Just to clarify: I'm talking about exporting the songs because is the smarter thing to do, since you can have all songs in one single game.

Is it really though? With the calculation above, you're basically exceeding the amount of songs I have, only you probably won't play everything from it. Wii only gets RB2 import and I got about 3 songs since that's all I needed. Is that not an option or is that the smarter thing to do?
If it isn't, then new system it is.
