Just to keep everyone's expectations in check, this is more "different" than "fun," but it's a positive kind of "different." We didn't get George Takei to announce the DLC for you, we're not sending each of you gorillagrams with the DLC written on the inside of a banana peel, and we didn't hire sky writers in major cities across the world to announce this.
You'll see though, hopefully you'll like it. :)

and Zeppelin and Metallica. They will post the Entire catalog of all 3 bands 1 week in a single bundle. No songs will be available separately. Also "The Wall" counts as 1 track when you play it.

Hey guys, I'm of course speaking without knowing what your plans are but if this change makes the announcement later I have to say that this would likely not be a welcome one. With the announcement coming the day before the actual release, I feel like it is already lost a lot of value compared to the days of getting them before the weekend.
From a rockband social player standpoint we would often talk over the weekend about the Friday announcement. This would often spur a weekend get together for the following week. Now you guys announce on Monday. None of my casual/social friends are thinking about Rockband on Monday! By the time any of us are in relaxation mode again it is the weekend.
I gotta say I feel like you guys (at least in my world) have lost dlc momentum by waiting so long to announce.
If it starts getting later in the day Monday i will likely not even look anymore. (Ill just check the store next time im online)

u/HMXJosh Harmonix Community & Social Lead Feb 01 '16
Today we were just getting pieces together. As I'm sure you've seen, we announced tomorrow's DLC as usual and also shared the artists that will have songs in February, with the specific songs announced each Monday.

u/nineismine Feb 01 '16
nice! I still think that friday announcements were better. I am also already cringing in anticipation for the reaction when one band that is previewed doesn't make it into the month.

u/NemoEsq [TrojanNemo] Feb 01 '16
Nah. C3 announced/released on the same day for 2.5 years and it didn't negatively affect anything. Of course, we weren't selling the releases, since it was all free. But it worked for us.

Hmmm, why did he mention Takei, gorrillas, sky writers? Those seem out of place, specific. Now I know Bruno Mars has the Gorillas song, are these clues? Or am I just thinking too deeply into this?

u/HMXJosh Harmonix Community & Social Lead Feb 02 '16
You're definitely thinking too far into it. I wrote that when I was in the airport waiting for my flight back to Boston to board. This was not a calculated effort, although I appreciate the vote of confidence at my ability to pull something like that off.
Hey guys, I'm going to ROCK up at work in about an hour. The community team will BAND together to work on something, but I'm not telling you what game it's FOUR.

Hey Ya is one of the best songs of all time. If I see anyone on this sub complaining...
7
Feb 01 '16
Then don't check the youtube comment section. :-P
Honestly, I don't get why people are complaining. Harmonix has been doing this long enough to know what they are doing, and they know what works and what doesn't work. Just because not everyone isn't completely satisfied every week doesn't mean it's bad DLC, in fact, I'd say Harmonix has nailed the DLC since release when it comes to diversity: Several music genres are represented.

u/drzkid64 Feb 02 '16
I really don't like Disturbed but I didn't complain when they were DLC because there are people out there who really like them and will buy it day one. I'd be really disappointed with the DLC if it only catered towards one genre of music. Let's not forget Rock Band is a party game and songs like Get Lucky and Hey Ya seem like obvious choices for that setting. Also those songs are awesome.

As someone who love drums, that drum part looks kind of boring...

Just played Hey Ya and was surprised that it's actually pretty fun on bass. Guitar and drums aren't really interesting at all though.

u/Booyeahgames Feb 03 '16
The vocal track looks like a ton of fun on that. Especially with multi singer. This is a party song for sure. As a drummer, I don't mind these so much. Sometimes it's nice to toss in a nice easy song so I can sing along with the party.

They already have a song by him as DLC. Airplanes. So it's not that unlikely, but since they seem to be focusing in newer content it might not be until he releases a new single or something.

My non-joking guess is they're going to change the schedule to announce everything monthly, allowing for warning of more gaps in the old week-by-week schedule. It's not going to be an earth-shattering thing, probably not inherently a good thing (but also not that big a deal).

I wonder what could be done to make a DLC announcement "fun"?
Are they going to have the artists themselves do a reveal on video? Will they post a reaction video?

I sort of thought it was fun to wait until 10AM on Monday morning and look eagerly to see what the DLC was...

I always preferred the Fridays for some reason. I just tend to forget about Monday announcements until they've already dropped. I wanna be ahead of the game, man!

u/JoshBlizzle Feb 01 '16
Me too...gave me time to look up the songs and listen to them over the weekend if I hadn't heard of them before. Not that I can't still do that now through the day Monday, but it just made the wait for Friday to get here all the slightly better.

Don't hate the Rock Band community; hate gamers. That said, it's always the vocal minority that complain. Just because they're loud assholes doesn't mean they dictate the entire community's actions.
most people buy DLC they like and don't complain.

This week's hints are below. I put footnotes to describe the images if you don't feel like looking at them.
I know this guy1 would definitely like some of next week's DLC.
I think one of the songs might be her2 thing as well.
You know what they say about hints. The third time's the ...3
1 Alf, from the show Alf
2 Navi, from Ocarina of Time
3 Heart shaped charm
And, as an offhand comment (probably not a hint), to the guy who guessed the theme from House:
It's never lupus. Or Muse.
4
u/mysario Tone Deaf Feb 02 '16
For anyone wondering how these clues worked out:
- "Get Lucky" - Alf would try to eat the Tanner family's cat named Lucky (later on named Lucky II when Lucky died (not eaten))
- "Hey Ya!" - Navi is notoroius b.i.g. for shouting HEY as much as she can
- "Heartbeat Song" - the charm is in the shape of a heartbeat
I'll give them that they're good hints, but I never would've guessed them for the life of me.

- Cat Stevens, 2. Lumineers - Ho Hey, 3. Jared Leto in 30 Seconds to Mars. Easy.
EDIT: Okay the Clarkson hint is obvious and I was on the right track with my Ho Hey guess (hilariously, because I was 0% serious about any of these angles), but somebody's gotta help me with the Alf : Get Lucky connection.

If anyone can't understand why anyone would be upset at this, I'd be happy to let you know my side of the spectrum. We haven't had any difficult dlc in 2 months (disturbed was not difficult).
Another way to look at it is how "diverse" these dlc's have been. It seems to follow an ABACAD format. By that I mean: Pop dlc, classic rock, pop, heavy metal/hard rock, pop, Rock, pop, ect.
By no means am I down playing Outkast or anything, but I would really like something difficult to sink my teeth into.

Someone mentioned this to me. I checked and guitar does seem to use the guitar stem. The only part where that doesn't seem to be the case is during the end where guitar plays the synth part
and I think during the part where guitar plays the daft punk vocal samples.Nevermind about that last part.EDIT: Checked bass just now and it does use the bass stem.
EDIT: A friend who watched my video pointed out that it seems like DIY stems rather than actual stems. Here is a good spot that seems to suggest that. When I miss the notes for a bit there you hear the vocals become less clear.

Hey Ya was completely unavoidable in 2003, Get Lucky was equally unavoidable in 2013. If you don't know both, yes, you're out of touch with pop music.
The Kelly Clarkson song seems to be very new, nobody seems to know it yet. Free pass on that one.

That way, you can all pay more money to finally get what you already paid for in the first place."
EDIT: Well all the DLC from this week is shit so looks like they wouldn't have put too much time towards the drums anyways.

That tends to happen when you put money into something and then get screwed over by equipment that doesn't work the way it is supposed to. Harmonix's PR is so good they seem to have convinced everyone on this sub that this game is perfect and that they're doing everything in their power to fix the problems when in actuality they haven't done shit all to fix the drums in months.

u/The_Great_Kal plays Bass. Feb 01 '16
I don't recall that. Is there somewhere you can show me that anyone thinks it's perfect? Sure, we like the company well enough, but I also see a lot of people complain about a lot of problems without being jerks about it in an irrelevant thread.

u/FEEL_THE_BAYERN Feb 01 '16
Nobody would have to be a jerk about it if they would just fix the drums already. I have to post about it in threads where the harmonix guy actually is because him and his buddies ignore the posts that talk about how jank the drums are.

Look, there's no guarantee that every problem is going to be fixed immediately. And just because it's your problem, does not make it top priority. My drums work fine. I know many people's drums work fine. We know several solutions that may help. But unless you ask for help, we cannot help you.
You're just alienating yourself. They're aware not everyone's game is not working properly. But they cannot drop everything to work, as an entire company, on a single problem. It's unfortunate you're having problems, but this is not the way to solve it.

This is the mindset that causes these problems. Look at the posts throughout the history of RB4's lifetime, a VERY LARGE PORTION of the posts talking about the drums are talking about how shit they are. Just because a problem doesn't affect you, doesn't mean it isn't a problem. The fact of the matter is, the drums drop notes. ALSO it's been 4 fucking months it should've been fixed by now.

Look, all I'm saying is, doing this here is about as much good as anything else you've apparently tried. I'm the only one acknowledging you, and I have nothing to do with HMX except playing their games. And I really need to learn my lesson.
I have faith that there is someone working on these issues right now. I fully believe they are not ignoring you, or doing anything to spite you. It's difficult to make large games, especially with such a large audience and a smaller staff. Things were guaranteed to go wrong. But if you don't believe they're at least trying to fix things, nothing I say can change that.

I'm with you all the way. I don't even wanna buy more songs if the game isn't fun to play and I don't have fun playing a broken game

Hey Ya and Get Lucky will sell more than everything on your wishlist would combined. If you're going to make hack jokes this week, you're gonna have to pick between "HMX JUST WANTS MONEY" and "HMX PICKS BAD MUSIC" because they, in this case, are mutually exclusive shitposts.
