On 360? Yes, the DRM stuff is made by Microsoft, it's the same for every game.
No idea about PS3.

Morrissey and The Smiths? Huh.
Also, the only Smiths song I really want is "How Soon is Now?"
edit: "This Charming Man" is a good pick though after listening to it.

Yes some Smiths!!
allegate said:
Normally you can kinda go by groups of 3 to determine if more is coming. They rarely license just two songs. So there's one Smiths here, one on RB3... should we expect a third down the line somewhere, or does Morrissey count as the third?
All I'm saying is, I don't know if there's hope for "How Soon is Now" or not.

why does it always take them so long to post the PS3 RBN selections for the week?

OH MY GOD MORRISSEY AND THE SMITHS!!!
Seriously, after having to go through the damn trouble of getting EU people to buy me Suedehead and Everyday is Like Sunday on Singstar, I'm so happy to see him on an American music game. I think the only other Moz-related song in the US is This Charming Man on Singstar Legends.

Seriously, I hope this isn't all we get from Dio and The Smiths.
Might as well ask now: has there been 100% confirmation you can sing with three mics with old dlc in RB3. People keep telling me to look at Beatles but that stuff was programmed with 3 part harmonies in mind. I just want to know that my friends and I can belt out Holy Diver together Bang Camero style come next month.
Also, any world on the drum kit with 7 pads? I saw it in Game Informer but you can't pre-order it at Gamestop. I need to get another drum kit and figured to spring for that one but I've not seen it made available anywhere.

Morrissey and The Smiths DLC is awesome. Unfortunately this means that I'll be let down once again this week with the PS3 RBN songs.

Question 1 - Old DLC will have to be updated with 3 part harmonies in songs that have actual harmony vocals. However, just like Beatles and Green Day, you will be able to use 3 mics to sing single parts (IE you can play solo vocals with 3 mics going all at once so everybody can sing the same part). There is no reason this shouldn't work with old DLC as it is an engine thing.
Questions 2 - You can get a 7 pad drum set right now. Get a RB2 kit and the three cymbal pack. This will all work with RB3. However the new cymbals are apparently much better so I would at least wait for those to launch (sites say Oct 19th). The main kit should be almost identical from the RB3 / RB2 versions.

It's so well known I didn't even know it was a Smiths song until someone gave me the greatest hits album. :lolRidley327 said:

It really seems like the PSN songs are coming from a certain cluster of artists.

Boooooooooooooooooooo!!!!
I just want Crash Years! Argh!!
Fuck yeah, finally. Although I'm disappointed we're getting one song each instead of a larger pack.
allegate said:
This Charming Man is superior to How Soon is Now in every possible way, Charming Man is one of their five best songs.
How Soon is Now is the type of song that is preferred by people who make statements like "the only Smiths song I really want is How Soon is Now?"

Agreed, my first choice for Moz would probably have been First of the Gang.

Indeed, hence my statement "It's so well known I didn't even know it was a Smiths song until someone gave me the greatest hits album." I wasn't a fan of The Smiths - didn't even know about them, for that matter - until about one to two years ago when I got that album. I can't help it that the song I like the most is the one I've heard the most.xbhaskarx said:
One last spot of RBN for the week:
And the RBN edition of Writing on the Walls is being pulled. I would've looked at it as a good learning experience, compare my work to Harmonix's, but I have a feeling mudrock (the author) is gonna be a bit grumpy over the whole thing.

There's no real reason why he shouldn't be. I guess it shows how little attention Harmonix are paying to RBN if a song they've authored, presumably months ago, can be on the service.

Honestly, I'd love to see some stuff from Years of Refusal...I think that would fit RB so well. That, or We Hate It When Our Friends Become Successful.

I want Scott Pilgrim's Sex Bob-Omb songs as DLC for Rock Band. That is all.

From what I've heard the re-records are good and fitting to Snoop's live show.

Our direct contact with Harmonix is three people. Matt, Christine, and Jess. None of them are on the audio team, that's a whole different crew. Only the audio team knows all the upcoming DLC. (Well, legal probably does too, but they probably forget faster and/or care less.) The audio team doesn't pop by RBN, they have no idea what's in that pipeline. The RBN team doesn't pop by the audio area, so they have no idea what's in that pipeline. Could they communicate? Sure. They probably should and probably do. But they can't reveal upcoming DLC anyway, so they can't really go to authors (who can be loose-lipped at times) and say "pull your song, we're doing it officially".
I will say, I'm surprised they don't have an obvious contingency plan in place. And if anything, licensing should prevent this from happening in the first place, the rights holder should be smart enough to realize they're being asked to give the material for the same game twice and say "naw, sorry, we're already doing that".
So there's rumor that VH1 announced/leaked Bob Marley's Legend album as DLC on the 21st. Not about to make a thread for it yet, but if it does wind up true it's certainly worthy of one...

Just FYI:
On the 360 version in the Rock Band Music Store (in game), they messed up the purchase screen for the Dio songs. If you select "Holy Diver" it downloads "Stand Up and Shout." Select "Stand Up and Shout" it downloads "Holy Diver." The Rock Band screen says you bought the correct thing, but the file downloaded is for the other song.
Thankfully, I wanted both songs.

Never heard of them before. Based on a quick glance of their Wiki page, they're a Warped Tour band.
