Eh I got rid of the drums and guitar some years back due to space issues. The last time I played I think was NYE 2012 with my folks. I kind of hit a wall with the guitar, stuck in that "most hard songs are too easy, most expert songs are too hard" chasm, could never really play the drums due to the noise they made and vocals...no
I might get back into it one day, never say never, but it'd take something pretty special for RB5 (if it ever comes)
I don't think they'll ever be a Rock Band 5 sadly. Rock Band 4 brought the game and its DLC to the new consoles and hopefully if Microsoft and Sony can keep games and controllers running on future consoles then Rock Band 4 should live on in to the future.
if you ever see the game or guitar going cheap and take the plunge all of your old DLC is ready to download and go

The new blood are pretty good, eh? My own IRL band had a recent personnel change too, this is all very surreal.
The team smashed it this week

Rival's Challenge - Season 3: Week 2
twitter.com/RockBand/status/925875140172410895
Spotlights:
- Queen - Killer Queen (DLC, October 20th 2009. Single also included in the "Queen Pack 01" and "Queen RB3 Enhanced Pack" packs)
- Rush - A Passage to Bangkok (Rock Band 4 disc song)
- Wild Cherry - Play That Funky Music (this weeks DLC, also free for owners of the "Season 3 Spotlight Pass")
Playing songs from the 70s count towards this weeks challenge.
DLC 02/11/2017: Solid '70s Pack 02!There’s more to the ‘70s than just disco music. We’re bringing revolutionary songs this week that are hard rock, punk, and funk!
Named the 45th Best Hard Rock Song of All Time by VH1, “Slow Ride” is a single by British rock band Foghat. Drums open the song with pulsing hits on the offbeat, then the guitar kicks in with a distorted blues riff. The electric slide technique coupled with the tone of the lead vocals gives this song true grit. This song isn’t a slow ride by any means, it alternates between verses, chorus and powerful instrumental breaks with a ton of action in-between. The guitar and bass fly through the song with fills and accents when they can, with an eventual duet and the drums switch between several patterns from a rock beat to a back beat pattern and more.
Another style of rock music that exploded in the 1970s was punk rock and Joey, Johnny, Dee Dee, and Marky Ramone were at the epicenter. “I Wanna Be Sedated” is a single from Ramones’ fourth studio album Road to Ruin, one of their best known songs and a Rock Band favorite. Rolling Stone named it one of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time and NPR included it in the "NPR 100”, a list to determine the 100 most important American musical works of the 20th century. The song has been used in countless films and television shows, and has been covered by dozens of established artists as well as the countless up-and-coming garage rockers. The fast rhythm changes create the bop feeling to the song that’s so much fun to play.
Shifting to an incredible song from Wild Cherry, “Play That Funky Music” was released in 1976 where it immediately went to #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and Hot Soul Singles chart as well as topping the charts globally. Its popularity is no surprise, being a textbook funk and party song - as soon as the main guitar riff drops, you know you get pumped. This song will prove just as much fun to play as it is to dance to. Between the syncopated guitar parts and main riff, the rhythm section stays locked in a tight groove while the vocal part does its thing over the verse. Everyone can jump in on vocals and belt out the chorus.
Solid ‘70s Pack 02 will be available for £4.39. Songs can be purchased individually for £1.59 each. The Rock Band Rivals Season 3 Spotlight Pass can be purchased for £10.79.
- Foghat - "Slow Ride"
- Ramones - "I Wanna Be Sedated" (Rewind - Part of the RB3 Disc Export)
- Wild Cherry - "Play That Funky Music" (Part of the Rock Band Rivals Season 3 Spotlight Pass)
