Rock Band 4 |OT| We're Putting The Rock Band Back Together

Dystopia's label is UMG, so there goes the Sony theory on a song that almost assuredly has split labels somewhere. I'm assuming at this point that, for some songs, Harmonix is likely charting with stems and then the label has them convert it to stemless for final release.

"Dystopia" - Megadeth
Expert Guitar: 272,872 | 99% Notes Hit | Gold Stars | Tier 6 (Impossible)
Expert Bass: 267,976 | 100% Notes Hit (Full Combo) | Gold Stars | Tier 4 (Challenging)

Are the tracks seperated?
Bad news, first Megadeth song in the history of the series to use DIY stems. Missing notes on guitar causes the vocal track to muffle along with the guitar track. Not even long term contributors to Rock Band are safe from the curse of the shitty DIY stems! A crying shame really, considering how great Megadeth's previous DLC tracks were...

Blech. This is absolutely the kind of song where stems are needed because of how easy it is to miss notes.

I was gonna pick this up along with Ozzy, but I'll just pass on both for now, even if the Ozzy one is good. In fact they've missed out on four or five other separated tracks that would have been impulse buys for me. As much as the UI fixes look good, these track issues keep pushing me away from the game.

Why wouldn't you still buy the Ozzy track if you actually want it? You're still voting with your wallet that way without missing out on a perfectly good, properly separated track.

If you've exported the ACDC pack, or redeemed the 20 free song pack when RB2 came out then you're entitled to it. It was made available to Xbone users a few months ago, but some didn't get it. So now it should be working for everyone.

It seems like more people are getting entitlements to the ACDC and 20 free song pack on Xbox. Go check if you haven't received it yet.

It's actually everything. After my first batch, the free Doors pack and the 2 no delisted Funk pack songs showed up. Sounds like whatever the issue was, they figured it out!

Okay then. Everyone should check to see if anything new has popped up for them.

Also for SCEA users, The Doors pack and the country pack 2 should be up.

Are you looking for new instruments?

If so check Amazon out. The new bundles are much cheaper than last year's.

If not PSN has it for 30.

I meant in terms of pre-order songs! I have all the instruments already, but I am not 100% sure if all pre-orders from all retailers will snag you the same pre-order bonus songs.

Oh ok.

Well Amazon will give 2 more songs on top of the 10 you can get from everywhere else. But that's only with the bundles I think.

Those were both showing up in my Ready to Install section last night. Finally! Still waiting on Classic Rock Track Pack though.

They have no way to know why I buy or don't buy a certain track, and their take on the situation is disappointing to me, so I'd rather not pump money into it on songs that aren't must-have for me when I don't agree with their current philosophy and lack of transparency (to their best ability). Ideally they read this thread too for community feedback, in which case they would know I dislike their handling of it, and that they lost a bunch of song sales from a long time regular DLC-buyer. To me that has more impact, but who knows, it's probably pointless. I'm content to wait and see what happens in the next month, and may pick up the separated tracks I would have bought earlier. I have plenty to play in the mean time.

29 of the tracks I was missing from Xbox 360 just showed up under my ready to install list for Rock Band 4 on Xbox One. Finally. Still a few more to go, though...but nice to see some progress again.

Well, I just reached my 1000th Expert Guitar FC in RB4! And the song that got me to that number? "All Along The Watchtower"!

"All Along The Watchtower" - Jimi Hendrix
230,674 | 100% FC (964/964 Notes Hit) | Gold Stars | Tier 4 (Challenging)

Still got 1775 songs total to set scores for though!

I'm not surprised by the Disturbed song. And it's not a god awful cover by any means. But at the same time...

Eurrrrrrgh.

Although it is a reminder that I do need to buy the original.

I'll probably end up buying it if it if I fancy completing my Disturbed collection.

Wow, nice one, and a good choice of song. Here's to the next 1,000!

Look on the plus side, two versions of the same song means the original Come On Eileen might show up at some point.

And I happen to like HandClap for some reason, so that's fun.

So I won codes for the dlc this week, the problem is that it's PS4 codes. So if you want one reply what one you want. I believe it's NA codes only.

Have 1 for each of the songs.

I wish you could hide songs from the library. There are some god awful songs/charts that i never want to play again that I have to skip using the annoying controller buttons every time.

Good news. Rate something a 1/5 in RB Rivals and use the "Hide 1 Rated Songs" filter in the filter menu and it'll hide 'em!
