The Rock Band Thread vol.2: Goodbye Yellow Brick Road

[RetroCora]

The only hurdle for me is how much pop I’ve got on my hard drive. Doubt it’s much.

You have every song in the game in your library, just pick a few decent ones off the ready to download list.

Top 10% gets into Bloodstone. Might throw some xp down now and see what happens.

[BID0]

promotion looks a little unachievable this week I'm surprised so many people play so heavily still to be getting teams scores like they do

[TigaSefi]

MUSE DLC finally!! Knights of Cydonia is finally here!!

[BID0]

wow it finally happened!

[RetroCora]

strawberry floatin' Muse content! Currently top of the Knights of Cydonia leaderboards but we'll see how long that lasts!

This has actually been one of the best years since the relaunch for music, at least for me. Some absolutely great content, top new songs and a general smattering of the usual.

From a very selfish perspective, it's great to see another classic Guitar Hero song ticked off the list in KoC. GHIII was always my favourite game in terms of the core setlist, and aside from just the One, I've now got all my favourites from that game.

[BID0]

I think Knights of Cydonia may have been my first song to play on a plastic guitar. I remember trying easy on Guitar Hero III with no luck

I think sefi said he would be playing tonight at some point. I'm not sure if I'll be free but there may be a chance to get a group together for a live session

Thanks for doing the business with your partner last week, Dave lad. I am stepping into the fray this week.

Thanks for doing the business with your partner last week, Dave lad. I am stepping into the fray this week.

I haven't been able to buy the Muse pack yet. On Xbox it says it's not available so if that remains the case I might not be able to contribute much this week. I imagine with Muse being released everyone will be playing and this week will be a real grind to be promoted anyway.

[Buffalo]

The new lad has put some good spotlights in but it’s early days.

[Buffalo]

Man, I haven’t listened to Muse since the record with Starlight and KoC came out, so it was really cool thrumming along to it. Always found Muse a bit of a difficult band to get into.

[Buffalo]

I will probably play this week. Turfed out an inactive and Tigasefi is next if he doesn’t pull his socks up.
Uninteresting fact - I am in the top 1000 for stars earned on bass. So that’s nice.

[RetroCora]

Decent pair of DLC songs this week! Shoved in some scores as we’re getting to the business end and I finally have a place of my own to play in.

[Buffalo]

Hope things are working out mate.

[RetroCora]

Thanks babe, definitely getting there.

Also, cheers to whoever put up a score on Heard It Through The Grapevine, just bashed it out and got over 2,500XP with the 1.5x boost. Ten and a half minutes long but not even a little bit difficult.

[Buffalo]

That was me. Had no idea it was going to be that long, Jesus wept.

[Buffalo]

We’re a stones throw from promotion - Dave, Chris can you help us get over the line? Me and Ben have been on rocking it this week.

[BID0]

I'll wont be able to get on until tomorrow evening, so I'll try and do something then with anything that needs doing on spotlights and LP etc

What instrument have you been mostly playing on buff? I guess Cora has been vocals? Just so I can maximise the LP points

[Buffalo]

Bass all the way. I’m doing about 30 tunes right now which might be enough, not sure, my Expert game isn’t that good.

[Frank]

I’m doing about 30 tunes right now

Thirty songs! You're a machine I'll try and throw a bit of drum XP in over the next few days (the Rivals week finishes on Wednesday, doesn't it?).

I've ended up going back to some of the classic 360 Rock Band/GH titles over the past few weeks, so I've been properly neglecting RB4. Whoops (Off topic - I'm amazed at how good the guest artist soundtrack is on GH: Van Halen. The actual Van Halen tunes are absolutely solid, though Hot for Teacher )
