 | Comment #1 by blitz7287 Friday, July 17, 2009 @ 10:01:54 AM Awesome Band |
 | Comment #2 by iindieRAAV3 Friday, July 17, 2009 @ 10:02:55 AM i hate KOL they seriously suck, may pick up prayer of the refugee and re-education though :D |
 | Comment #3 by Kezzmo Friday, July 17, 2009 @ 10:03:50 AM OMG RISE AGAINST!! YES!! definitly getting that pack!! Wooo!!! |
 | Comment #4 by rowtheboat Friday, July 17, 2009 @ 10:05:25 AM meh |
| Comment #5 by Pyloric Friday, July 17, 2009 @ 10:06:27 AM Rise Against - NICE Rancid - cool, but I woulda picked different songs Kings of Leon - Really? Awesome, awesome band, but I don't think they are right for rock band. . . |
 | Comment #6 by silentbob0 Friday, July 17, 2009 @ 10:07:07 AM Rise Against and Rancid are pretty good, not great. Kings of Leon just plain suck. |
 | Comment #7 by Comrade D Rock Friday, July 17, 2009 @ 10:08:59 AM Definitely snagging the KoL pack, even though I'd rather they have picked something from Aha Shake Heartbreak than Crawl. Other two packs are meh, although Ruby Soho will always be a catchy song. Rise Against are a little too self-righteous for my tastes. |
 | Comment #8 by XZYOE Friday, July 17, 2009 @ 10:09:40 AM I'll buy RIse Against. |
 | Comment #9 by Rooster425 Friday, July 17, 2009 @ 10:12:55 AM Definitely getting Prayer of the Refugee. |
 | Comment #10 by EvilTrovis Friday, July 17, 2009 @ 10:12:58 AM I will probably pick up the Rancid pack. ...As soon as I buy a new drumkit, because my red pad doesn't register at all. |
 | Comment #11 by Sphere Shot Friday, July 17, 2009 @ 10:13:44 AM I'll definitely pick up the Rise Against, and why even put in Kings of Leon, ugh. |
 | Comment #12 by mlemaire Friday, July 17, 2009 @ 10:20:41 AM Shiiiiit. That's great. Gonna get the Rise Against and KoL packs for sure. Little disappointed that "Audience of One" isn't one of the tracks for Rise though. Either way, some good choices. The best part is RB gets "Sex on Fire" before it "debuts" in GH5. Nice. |
 | Comment #13 by puma Friday, July 17, 2009 @ 10:26:07 AM KoL!! nice! need more thrice though... |
 | Comment #14 by hansen578 Friday, July 17, 2009 @ 10:32:45 AM sex on fire is the only song i like there |
 | Comment #15 by jesse477 Friday, July 17, 2009 @ 10:34:18 AM DAMN, this is a good week. Prolly won't get Ruby Soho, cuz I got it on GH:WT, but I'm totally getting the rest of the Rancid songs, and the Rise Against songs, besides Re-Education, again on GH:WT. |
 | Comment #16 by reaper527 Friday, July 17, 2009 @ 10:36:40 AM well, this is far from the best dlc week, as kings of leon suck. rise against dlc might be worth checking out though |
| Comment #17 by JD15 Friday, July 17, 2009 @ 10:48:33 AM Rise against blows, shitty "hardcore" punk band, cant say much better about KoL and Rancid hell I think Lush is the most interesting choice there |
 | Comment #18 by iruhlman Friday, July 17, 2009 @ 10:49:49 AM Rise Against! seeing as i sold GHWT, I'll pick up Re-education since its such a great track! |
 | Comment #19 by Vaile23 Friday, July 17, 2009 @ 10:52:25 AM KOL!!!! YESSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
 | Comment #20 by Barry619 Friday, July 17, 2009 @ 10:53:25 AM Gotta love it when people put their musical opinions of bands as if anyone is going to give a fuck. |
 | Comment #21 by WickedD365 Friday, July 17, 2009 @ 10:54:43 AM KOL finally, forget GH5. Rise Against SWEEET! |
 | Comment #22 by hispanicplaya Friday, July 17, 2009 @ 11:11:08 AM sex on fire alll daaay |
| Comment #23 by hispanicplaya Friday, July 17, 2009 @ 11:11:23 AM lol btw no reason buy gh5 now ahaha |
 | Comment #24 by Sirix88 Friday, July 17, 2009 @ 11:12:19 AM Nice its about time that Rock Band got some Rise Against, and Savior no less! I'm getting that right now |
 | Comment #25 by cool4joe Friday, July 17, 2009 @ 11:12:59 AM Wow finally a week when I could possibly buy everything. |
 | Comment #26 by twotoesjr Friday, July 17, 2009 @ 11:16:26 AM finally some rise against, i hope they get paper wings on there someday. |
 | Comment #27 by Da CRU Mughhh Friday, July 17, 2009 @ 11:22:48 AM About Damn time they got some Kings of Leon =) |
 | Comment #28 by berserkerninja Friday, July 17, 2009 @ 11:27:25 AM Kings of Leon AND Rise Against? |
 | Comment #29 by ponypo2001 Friday, July 17, 2009 @ 11:32:11 AM Would've like the Rise Against stuff but I have them in WT.Certainly ain't buying them again.Nice to see some Rancid even though they don't interest me.KOL = the same. |
 | Comment #30 by ThunderStorm101 Friday, July 17, 2009 @ 11:32:24 AM Kings of Leon SUCKS!! To bad they use to be pretty decent, and look at them now, crap Long Live real Rock music |
 | Comment #31 by JJBDude Friday, July 17, 2009 @ 11:37:09 AM I love Rise Against and their one of my favourite bands but I'm annoyed that two of the songs are already in the GH franchise!?!?!?! I like all of the Rancid songs too, best track packs on Rock Band to date! |
 | Comment #32 by jigo121 Friday, July 17, 2009 @ 11:43:08 AM Kings of leon? I thought this was rock band not pop band. |
 | Comment #33 by iJon72 Friday, July 17, 2009 @ 11:51:47 AM prayer of the refugee was on GH3 lol. |
 | Comment #34 by willberry88 Friday, July 17, 2009 @ 11:56:48 AM Ugg, all the Rise Against tracks released are shit songs from their new album. Get the old stuff out! |
 | Comment #35 by Scythe100 Friday, July 17, 2009 @ 11:57:06 AM Fookin 'ell, would of been nice for some Rise against songs that haven't already appeared on other games but they'll do. Seriously, they must release the same songs on purpose but why's!? |
 | Comment #36 by Santaslave Friday, July 17, 2009 @ 12:00:14 PM Kings of Leon is just another mainstream shit band. |
 | Comment #37 by Jim Ignatowski Friday, July 17, 2009 @ 12:02:43 PM @20 First solitary voice of reason ever in a forum discussing new RB/GH tracks. :) |
 | Comment #38 by GeneralBoltz18 Friday, July 17, 2009 @ 12:04:53 PM LOL nobody talks about the Lush track. Pretty good week overall though. |
 | Comment #39 by A Kid Named Dim Friday, July 17, 2009 @ 12:05:02 PM Wow this is a good week for DLC Kings of Leon and Rancid - Time Bomb. Not a big Rise Against fan but Im sure people are happy for new songs. |
| Comment #40 by A Kid Named Dim Friday, July 17, 2009 @ 12:07:05 PM oh and Lush! Hell yeah, RB needs more shoegaze |
| Comment #41 by jigo121 Friday, July 17, 2009 @ 12:15:59 PM How's about some death metal. Suicide silence's new albu mwas out only a few weeks ago. |
 | Comment #42 by tunaleg Friday, July 17, 2009 @ 12:16:52 PM Rise Against suck. Kings of Leon are good |
 | Comment #43 by II M1CK3H II Friday, July 17, 2009 @ 12:19:45 PM @42, typical mainstream wanker. Anyway, Rise Against is probably the best band to offer there, its just a shame Guitar Hero beat them to Prayer of the Refugee, otherwise the other songs arent too great. And as for Sex on Fire, i got bored after the 100000000th time i heard it on a music channel / radio / night club / randomers singing it / charv's phone. Seriously, people didnt even know KoL existed till they heard that shitty song, but that basically sums up todays society, people are sheep and wank over the bollocks music in the charts. |
 | Comment #44 by General Boredom Friday, July 17, 2009 @ 12:20:46 PM #42: Rise Against are awesome. OLD Kings of Leon are good. Definitely buying the Rise Against songs. |
| Comment #45 by II M1CK3H II Friday, July 17, 2009 @ 12:22:37 PM And yeah for the record, the old KoL songs were far superior to the new shit, but every band seems to be going for mainstream crap to try and get in the charts or get more radio airtime. |
 | Comment #46 by Almighty Tubsta Friday, July 17, 2009 @ 12:29:17 PM variety is good, might pick up a couple of these |
 | Comment #47 by Lumleyyy Friday, July 17, 2009 @ 12:43:16 PM @43 & 45 i couldnt agree with you more mate :) but defo picking up the rise against pack good songs to play |
| Comment #48 by JD15 Friday, July 17, 2009 @ 12:54:46 PM LOL you call KoL mainstream but not Rise Against whose albums reach gold and platinum. I think your the sheep by mixing up good and hardcore. People complaining about bands being mainstream are to pussy to admit that the bands they like are mainstream, good music is good no matter how many people listen to it and it irks me when people bring up the popularity of bands. I dont like KoL and think most of the radio music sucks, but 43 needs to admit that Rise Against is mainstream to, not pigeon hole radio bands as the only mainstream things. |
 | Comment #49 by DarkRedSky Friday, July 17, 2009 @ 01:04:29 PM I always thought Crawl would make a great Rock Band track. Also, KoL's new album should be "Rock Album of the Year" at the Grammy's. |
 | Comment #50 by Colossus033 Friday, July 17, 2009 @ 01:23:15 PM WoW this actually looks like a decent week of DLC for once!!! |
 | Comment #51 by kizwiz Friday, July 17, 2009 @ 01:36:37 PM @50 - You're joking right? |
 | Comment #52 by youre so bastos Friday, July 17, 2009 @ 01:54:07 PM Yes, KoL and Rancid! Can't stand Rise Against though. Might pick these up, but it's gonna be hard to follow up after the Mayhem Fest pack. |
 | Comment #53 by Potato Bus Friday, July 17, 2009 @ 03:33:44 PM I like KoL, but they only picked one good song (Molly's Chambers). Would be much better with Red Morning Light, California Waiting, or King of the Rodeo... You know, something from their older albums before they changed to a shite musical styling... (I remember seeing them in concert in fall of 2005, before they sold out big time...) |
 | Comment #54 by MuscularTea Friday, July 17, 2009 @ 03:52:11 PM I'll get rise against for sure. I'll consider Rancid or Lush if I feel like spending more points. Kings of Leon aren't my style though. |
 | Comment #55 by IXXBLACK0UTXXI Friday, July 17, 2009 @ 04:02:13 PM WHHHOOOOOO!!!!! Prayer of the Refugee!!!! |
 | Comment #56 by Blue Thunder28 Friday, July 17, 2009 @ 04:11:14 PM YAY. Once this is out all that is left for me to have on Rock Band is We Are Scientists. |
 | Comment #57 by Snow Turnips Friday, July 17, 2009 @ 04:17:58 PM i was hoping they would go to guitar hero world tour |
 | Comment #58 by OmarStyles9 Friday, July 17, 2009 @ 05:00:40 PM HELLS YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! RISE AGAINST MOFOSSSS!!!!!!!!! Excuse me. I just think its about time they got their songs on Rock Band :) |
 | Comment #59 by SCA KAZUMA Friday, July 17, 2009 @ 05:13:29 PM Rise Against would be nice if I didn't already have PotR and Re-Education on something else. Savior will be nice, though. I don't have that on anything else. Kings of Leon are alright. Sex on Fire was good until it got overplayed. Crawl is very basic in its sound. It's too much of the same pitch and puts me to sleep. I like Molly's Chambers, though. Got burnt out on Rancid, so I'll probably pass on that. Might get the Lush song because it might be fun to play. Still kinda wish we'd get some more diversity. P.S. Don't make yourself look foolish if you see a band you don't like on the DLC list. Posting "THIS BAND! OMG THIS BAND! ...that other band sucks, though." does nothing but make you look like an idiot. Just take it with a grain of salt. If it's not your cup of tea, don't drink it. |
 | Comment #60 by JT Gregory Friday, July 17, 2009 @ 05:26:02 PM dude why the hell do rock band get all the good bands for dlc what abput guitar hero man!!!!!!!! |
 | Comment #61 by D3LIRI0U5 Friday, July 17, 2009 @ 05:58:59 PM Finally some decent songs!!! Will definately be getting most of these |
 | Comment #62 by KingSigy Friday, July 17, 2009 @ 06:28:03 PM I think Harmonix needs to stop uploading songs for the sake of increasing a catalog and start putting out some songs that are technically difficult. Rock Band has so much easy garbage that people of actual skill are getting more and more bored of it. |
 | Comment #63 by UNDERWALLY Friday, July 17, 2009 @ 06:35:34 PM Yeah Rise Against, damn too bad Ready to Fall isn't there :( |
 | Comment #64 by peterk Friday, July 17, 2009 @ 06:55:08 PM Absolutely getting the Lush track. Rancid falls into the "maybe" category. |
 | Comment #65 by shadowfeeder Friday, July 17, 2009 @ 08:16:07 PM Grabbing Rise Against, they seem fun to play if nothing else. And why are people saying this and that is mainstream and not? Look at the last weeks packs if you want something that's not mainstream.. |
 | Comment #66 by McCabe24TML Friday, July 17, 2009 @ 08:31:32 PM Definetely picking up the Sex on Fire and the Rise Against pack, screw Rancid though. Would've liked to see some older Kings of Leon stuff though... |
| Comment #67 by Mordhaus Friday, July 17, 2009 @ 08:31:59 PM +1 for Rise Against -10 for picking crappy tracks/tracks that have already been done. |
 | Comment #68 by toonsage Friday, July 17, 2009 @ 09:05:27 PM omg love sex on fire ^.^ |
| Comment #69 by JD15 Friday, July 17, 2009 @ 09:51:45 PM thanks 65, i like big dipper and 1/2 off was sweet. |
| Comment #70 by JD15 Friday, July 17, 2009 @ 10:07:28 PM Sry for double post, but @ 62 if you can fc This is Exile on drums and PTTS, then good job its ten times harder than anything on guitar hero metallica. |
 | Comment #71 by Derkie93026 Friday, July 17, 2009 @ 10:48:03 PM Rise Against FTW... Savior is one of my personal favs... just wishing they would have put Behind Closed Doors and Ready to Fall... that would have been a great 3 |
 | Comment #72 by n8ryder Friday, July 17, 2009 @ 11:21:34 PM Good DLC this week. especially Rise Against & Rancid (about time) |
 | Comment #73 by XxJ2XxX Friday, July 17, 2009 @ 11:26:16 PM im getting Rise Against |
 | Comment #74 by Norman Coxwell Friday, July 17, 2009 @ 11:48:35 PM Rancid's kick ass. Hope I can use some pepsi codes on it. |
 | Comment #75 by pablomiguel Saturday, July 18, 2009 @ 12:06:18 AM Re-Education Through Labor!!!! |
| Comment #76 by DCD224 Saturday, July 18, 2009 @ 08:50:29 AM King of Leon SUCK BIG TIME |
 | Comment #77 by CaptainKicker Saturday, July 18, 2009 @ 12:06:32 PM Prayer of Refuuge! YES PLEASE! |
 | Comment #78 by Bass Slapper94 Saturday, July 18, 2009 @ 01:19:24 PM @60. Why? Because RB is better... waaay better :) The end |
| Comment #79 by Bass Slapper94 Saturday, July 18, 2009 @ 01:23:38 PM Sorry for double post but @62. If you can FC Powerslave, Prequal to the Sequel,the Mayhem Pack, or any difficult songs like Jesus Christ Pose, then you have the right to complain like a baby. Other than that, you cant say much. |
 | Comment #80 by Stumpster2 Saturday, July 18, 2009 @ 03:18:01 PM Tbh i'm picking up AOF (Alexisonfire)-"Young Cardinals" over anything next week :) |
 | Comment #81 by DrRaymond Solar Saturday, July 18, 2009 @ 04:20:40 PM Fucking sell outs |
| Comment #82 by DrRaymond Solar Saturday, July 18, 2009 @ 04:21:34 PM #45 you play rockband and you're talking mainstream? Ha! Everyone who plays this game is a sheep by the way. I actually see bands play live instead of sitting in a basement and pretending to play the guitar. |
 | Comment #83 by rvlution Saturday, July 18, 2009 @ 05:52:57 PM Kings of Leon!!!! YES!!! |
 | Comment #84 by XXXWOLFFXXX Saturday, July 18, 2009 @ 05:55:08 PM bout time they put some KOL in the game, but they coulda picked better songs like maybe closer but its still cool :P :) rise against is sick too |
 | Comment #85 by AsILayDying Saturday, July 18, 2009 @ 06:00:19 PM buying everything |
 | Comment #86 by J0K3R C4RD Saturday, July 18, 2009 @ 09:56:14 PM I read about these releases on wikipedia yesterday, I'm so buying Sex on Fire. Kings of Leon are the next big band! And also, ABC by Jackson 5 and Kryptonite by 3 Doors Down should be coming soon as well =D |
 | Comment #87 by Chinchillazilla Sunday, July 19, 2009 @ 02:28:11 AM @86 - Jackson 5 and 3 Doors Down have been listed on Wikipedia for literally the last 6 months with the release date as TBA. They are not coming soon. Sorry =/ |
 | Comment #88 by jj1993 Sunday, July 19, 2009 @ 03:40:58 AM @#82 - Are you a complete fucktard? Noone plays Rock Band, we leave the basements for Dungeons and Dragons. Plus, everyone that plays Rock Band does NOT think that they are in an actual band or think that they are the "Van Halen" or even the Tom Morello of this generation. Picking up Sex on Fire though...will be cool to play at parties and shit. Although I do feel like playing PoTR...hmmmm! |
| Comment #89 by jj1993 Sunday, July 19, 2009 @ 03:49:42 AM I really should learn how to type. I mean, noone plays Rock Band in their basements! CMON KoL and Rise Against! Who the hell are Rancid? |
 | Comment #90 by Mad Man Sunday, July 19, 2009 @ 05:59:39 AM Sweet! Rise Against! |
 | Comment #91 by emooking Sunday, July 19, 2009 @ 11:37:50 AM kool |
 | Comment #92 by Asha-D Sunday, July 19, 2009 @ 05:01:10 PM Wouldn't mind all 3 although would have prefered Maxwell Murder or Axiom for the awesome bass solos for rancid. Worst pack there is definitely the Kings of Leon pack. Also @XOX JORD XOX: Your kidding right you've never heard of Rancid. They're like pretty much the most important punk rock band state side and the artist that literally single handedly brought back punk to America. |
 | Comment #93 by SteroidalEagle Sunday, July 19, 2009 @ 07:12:25 PM Rise Against def getting POTR and Saviour! |
 | Comment #94 by CriscoDisco878 Sunday, July 19, 2009 @ 08:04:25 PM why everyone hating on Kings of Leon? i mean i dont care for rise against but i dont come in here shittin on em. god. people these days. |
 | Comment #95 by JEDI JAWA Sunday, July 19, 2009 @ 09:23:14 PM yay, rise against, too bad rock band is a tad late, already got those song on gh |
| Comment #96 by Makcccp Monday, July 20, 2009 @ 12:15:07 AM Wow you losers don't know shit about music do you? Rancid is a REAL Punk band that is pretty amazing, Rise Against is alright, Kings Of Leon got some great songs, and WTF is Lush? |
| Comment #97 by D3LIRI0U5 Monday, July 20, 2009 @ 06:04:30 AM yea, some older tracks by KOL wuld be swell, like charmer,taper jean girl or my party!!! but Molly's Chamber's bass line is gonna be awesome, i hope. |
 | Comment #98 by djnaps Monday, July 20, 2009 @ 07:53:51 AM Ill get this pack just for sex on fire, not saying the rest are crap! |
 | Comment #99 by mellowknight Monday, July 20, 2009 @ 10:00:02 AM I'm gonna get the KOL and Rise Against packs. I listen to Sex on Fire on my iPod all the time so I'm anxious to play it on Bass. Prayer of the Refugee I played religiously on Guitar Hero 3 but I only played on guitar so I'm anxious to play that one on Bass too. |
 | Comment #100 by hgp627 Thursday, July 23, 2009 @ 06:26:53 PM KOL suck so bad ill get WOOH Rise against |
