September DLC Week 1:

Five Finger Death Punch - "Wrong Side Of Heaven"
“Wrong Side Of Heaven” by Five Finger Death Punch makes its way to the Rock Band Music Library on Tuesday. Guitarists, don’t be fooled by the seemingly easy progression in this song. About mid-way through, be prepared for a HOPO-filled guitar solo that can easily break your combo. Drummers will experience some kick-heavy patterns during the guitar solo as well.

Good Charlotte - "Lifestyles of the Rich & Famous"
Good Charlotte returns to Rock Band with this new DLC track, “Lifestyles of the Rich & Famous”. The energetic beat is sure to keep drummers on their toes – there’s plenty of fast, swung drum beats to go around for the entire song. There’s also some fast chord changes for the guitarist during choruses that might lead to streak breaking. Get some friends together to nail those chorus harmonies down, too.

Not only that but we also have the line-up of artists with songs appearing this month for Rock Band DLC:

September 2016 DLC (Current):
Disturbed - ???
Fitz and the Tantrum - ???
Five Finger Death Punch - "Wrong Side of Heaven"
Good Charlotte - "Lifestyles of the Rich & Famous"
Jason Aldean - ???
Sister Hazel - ???
??? - ???

That's right, we have 1 artist that is currently unknown and Harmonix has this to say:
You may notice that this is a smaller list of DLC artists than we’ve had in previous months…maybe it means something? Maybe I’m making this all up? Who knows! Stay tuned…

Outside of new DLC songs we also have a new trailer and details on the Rivals mode in the upcoming Rock Band Rivals expansion due October.


So, first things first. What is Rivals Mode exactly? We touched on it briefly in July, but essentially it's a Crew-based asynchronous multiplayer mode, based around weekly challenges. Band together with up to 10 friends to compete against Rival Crews.

To get started, when Rock Band Rivals launches in October, you'll join a crew, either by creating one yourself or joining an existing one. If you choose to create one, you pick a name and an icon, and invite people to join. You can promote friends so they can accept/deny/issue invites as well, so you don't need to shoulder all of the work. You'll want to get a good spread of talent/abilities in your Crew for reasons that will soon become clear.

Every weekly challenge will have a theme, like songs with the word "Love" in their title, or songs that start with the letter "A," or songs from the 80s. Within your library, you'll notice songs that qualify for the weekly challenge will have a 'W' icon next to them (As you can see at ~12secs in the video above). Within this challenge, we'll pick three specific songs every week as Spotlight Songs, which I'll detail in a minute (Also noted in the library with a Spotlight icon next to them).

Your Crew's performance in the Weekly Challenge is based on two aspects, weighted equally:

1) Total Crew XP earned -- Every time anyone in your Crew plays a song within the Weekly Challenge theme, you'll earn XP for your Crew. XP is based on what difficulty you play on, and how many stars you earn. There are also bonuses for getting a Full Combo, or playing that song for the first time that week. Note that you can play qualifying songs multiple times and continue to rack up XP, so less-skilled players can still make meaningful contributions if they're willing to play a bunch of songs within the challenge for your Crew.

2) Total Spotlight score -- As I mentioned above, each Weekly Challenge will have three specific Spotlight Songs that fit into that week's theme. Your Crew's goal is to post the highest score on each instrument for each song. (Pro drum scores are condensed to standard drum scores, and harmonies do not qualify) No matter how many times your Crew plays these songs, only the top score for each instrument and song will count. These 12 scores will be added together as your Total Spotlight score. (As you can probably gather, having a good spread of talent across all instruments is vital)

Okay, so your crew's been racking up XP across all songs, and you've posted some crazy-good scores on the three Spotlight songs... what now? Well, if you're good enough, you'll get promoted to a higher tier. Everyone starts in the Bronze tier, but tiers continue to Silver, Gold, Platinum, Diamond, and the elusive top Bloodstone tier, reserved for only the best crews. Once you're above Bronze, if you don't perform well enough in a given week, you'll get demoted to a lower tier. If you manage to make it to Bloodstone tier (Less than 0.3% of Crews can be there at a time), you've got to continue putting on a stellar performance, or you'll get knocked back down to Diamond.

You'll know whether you're at risk of demotion, safe to stay at your tier, or likely to get promoted, based on the Tier Status meter, which you can see briefly at ~27 secs in the video above. Your percentile score on Spotlight Songs is averaged with the percentile of your weekly Crew XP, which results in your Rivals Score for the week. If the bubble with that score is in the red when the challenge ends, you're getting demoted. If you're in the blue, you're staying at the same tier. If you're in the green, you're getting promoted.

A challenge ends, Crews get promoted/demoted as necessary, and another challenge begins, giving you another chance to show your skills/devotion to Rock Band.

There are some other stats we're introducing as a part of Rivals, like individual XP (earned across all songs, regardless of the challenge) and a stat called Skill, which will be a number from 0 - 1000 that represents your skill on a given instrument (Which will make it easy to search out people to join your Crew, if you don't know 10 people that play the game).

On top of all of this, we're bringing Rock Band's first companion app to the game, which will help you follow the Rivals competition, chat with your Crew, etc. More details on that to come later.

As a reminder, Rivals Mode will only be available to those that have Rock Band Rivals.

Jason Aldean - "Dirt Road Anthem"

Sister Hazel’s track, “All For You”, also comes to the Rock Band Music Library tomorrow. Guitarists, get ready for not one, but two solid guitar solos with plenty of strummed chords in between.

I'm putting Metallica-Hardwired as one of the mystery songs. With them putting out a new album this year and a renewed interest in Rock Band, I think it's not impossible to see them making a comeback. Hopefully, if they do, it could lead to the old DLC and Enter Sandman getting relicensed too, which would be huge.

Megadeth - "Dystopia"

One of Slipknot’s monster hits, “The Devil In I”, finishes up our DLC pack this week.

A classic ‘90s track comes to the Rock Band Music Library this week as well – “Flagpole Sitta” by Harvey Danger. Folks at Harmonix are psyched to finally have this track added in the Music Library. “Flagpole Sitta” is a fantastic song on drums with plenty of fills and cymbal swells. Additionally, this tracks makes for an excellent party starter, especially with crowd vocals and harmonies.

Rock Band Rivals European Details:

A bit late on this but the news that many of us have been waiting for is finally here. Rock Band Rivals will reach Europe! However there's some good news and bad news.

October DLC Week 4:

6kg8ompkerxk.png


The Chainsmokers ft. Halsey - "Closer"
“Closer”, from The Chainsmokers ft. Halsey, joins the Rock Band Library this week as Rock Band DLC. It has so far spent 10 weeks at the top of the charts, being the best selling, most streamed, and the most radio played song of the year. In a unique twist, the entire bass chart is made up of chords. It’s rare to find even one chord on Rock Band bass, so this will definitely feel different. The vocals are a duet spanning close to four octaves, but the jumps are never unreasonable, so you can still feel comfortable tackling it.
Sia ft. Sean Paul - "Cheap Thrills"
“Cheap Thrills” by Sia ft. Sean Paul comes to Rock Band this week as well. The first Billboard #1 hit from Sia, it also brought Sean Paul his first #1 since 2006! A worldwide hit, it also peaked in Canada, Germany, and France, while offering a strong performance in the UK. Drummers have a syncopated rhythm to look forward to, and the vocals are exactly what you should expect from Sia. The harmonies are dense, and Sean Paul’s rapping is pitched, so good luck.

Also available are the Amazon pre-order songs; Maroon 5 - "One More Night" and Matchbox Twenty - "3AM".

In addition Harmonix have announced a new change of pace for Rock Band DLC.

You might notice this is not our usual DLC announcement method. This week has featured songs being released on Tuesday and now on Thursday. We are rolling over to a new method more in-line with Rock Band Rivals Challenges, meaning DLC will regularly release on Thursday, with Tuesday announcements. The week of 10/31 will look like this, with staggered releases twice over the week. After that, Thursday will be the singular release day for new Rock Band DLC, with consideration for approaching holidays such as Thanksgiving.

Hootie & The Blowfish - “Hold My Hand”
“Hold My Hand” opens the new DLC pack. This tune is great for the full band, as there is a little something for everyone. Bassists have a constantly active bassline that will be a blast to hold down. Darius Rucker, vocalist of Hootie & The Blowfish, accomplishes a fantastic vocal performance in this track with plenty of variety and vocal runs. Singers will have plenty to practice with this one!
Hootie & The Blowfish - “Let Her Cry”
Another bass-centric tune, “Let Her Cry”, finishes up this week’s pack. Bassists will have the spotlight in this one as well, with an interesting countermelody sprinkled throughout the tune.
Hootie & The Blowfish - “Only Wanna Be With You”
An iconic hit from Hootie & The Blowfish, “Only Wanna Be With You”, joins the Music Library this week.

November DLC Week 2:

twi_dlc_novem10.png


The Cure - "Lovesong"
After appearing on the Rock Band 3 and Rock Band 4 discs, The Cure makes their Rock BandDLC debut with "Lovesong". "Lovesong", the Cure’s highest charting US single, allows players to channel their inner Goth with several challenging arrangements. The constantly moving bass helps push the song along while the vocals can be a bit tricky at times, giving players something to strive for. And of course, the well-known synth hook is playable, being featured on the guitar chart.
Cyndi Lauper - "Time After Time"
"Time After Time", Cyndi Lauper’s first #1 hit, joins the Rock Band library this week. Everyone knows the song, so the vocal duet will quickly be attempted by everyone in your band. The harmony is easy to find, so anyone can feel good belting out the chorus. The guitar is active throughout, even featuring a solo.
Fine Young Cannibals - "She Drives me Crazy"
Rounding out the week, the Fine Young Cannibals hit "She Drives Me Crazy" reaches Rock Band. Having topped charts around the world, it’s guaranteed to be a party hit. The drum beat is unique, which helps make it the highlight of the song. If you’re on vocals, you’ll be trying to match the distinctive melodies and pitch of FYC singer Roland Gift.


November DLC Week 3:

NovSeventeenDLCTw.png


Avril Lavigne - "Complicated"
The pack kicks off with "Complicated". Avril Lavigne’s debut single, it was nominated for two Grammys in 2002. The bass has a strong showing, with plenty of variety through the song. The harmonies are enjoyable, with the third line in particular being an interesting part to follow.
Avril Lavigne - "My Happy Ending"
The next song featured is "My Happy Ending". Released in 2004, the single went platinum by 2005. The bass again shines, bringing quick scales and strumming. The guitar features a HOPO section during the bridge. Drums have many charted ghost notes.
Avril Lavigne - "What The Hell"
Rounding out the pack is "What the Hell", the second-highest selling single of Avril Lavigne’s career. The handclaps in the song have been authored to the drums; they can be seen on the blue pad. Solo vocals and harmonies are both active, which make it the most difficult vocals song of the week, while still being tons of fun.


November DLC Week 4:

11_22_DLC_Twitter.png


Bruno Mars - "24K Magic"
Bruno Mars returns to the platform again in 2016, this time with his new album’s lead single, “24K Magic”. The album, also called 24K Magic, released last week, and you can already play the title track on Rock Band! The bass stands out, being the most energetic of the instruments. Not to be outdone, the vocals are filled to the brim with everything from dense harmonies to talkies to high notes. Playing it on anything will make you feel hashtag blessed.
Coldplay - "Hymn For The Weekend"
Coldplay features another track off A Head Full of Dreams, “Hymn for the Weekend”, on Rock Band this week. The vocals immediately open with a tricky intro featuring none other than Beyoncé, who is featured throughout the song. Drums will prove tricky, being partially played on glass bottles. Much of the piano line in the song has been charted to the guitar, giving it plenty to do.
Green Day - "Still Breathing"
Green Day’s latest single, “Still Breathing”, joins the Rock Band library this week. Taken from their chart-topping new album Revolution Radio, "Still Breathing" features everything you could want from a Green Day song: driving guitar, powerful drums, and a harmonious chorus. With over 75 million records sold, 5 Grammy Awards and their recent induction into the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame, Green Day continues to be a leading voice in rock music. Here’s a fun fact: with over fifty tracks available on Rock Band 4, Green Day has the largest collection of music available in the platform.

“Chop Suey!” by System of a Down makes its way to the Music Library as DLC this week.

Twenty One Pilots - "Heathens"
The pack starts off with the RIAA Triple Platinum smash single “Heathens”, from the blockbuster soundtrack Suicide Squad: The Album. Peaking at #2 on the US Billboard Hot 100, “Heathens” is perfect to get your band grooving to the music. Our lighting artist added cameras and lights in this song that give off the same vibe from the infamous Suicide Squad team.
Twenty One Pilots - "Ride"
“Ride” also joins the “Twenty One Pilots Pack 01” as new DLC this week. Taken from the band’s multi-platinum album Blurryface, “Ride” peaked at #1 on Billboard’s Top Rock Songs and Alternative Songs chart. Breath control is an absolute must for this one – there’s plenty of rapid fire lyrics and long phrases for vocalists to accomplish. You won’t get that much time to breathe, so keep an eye out for those moments between phrases!

~ ROCK BAND UPDATE NEWS ~

~ LIBRARY ~
The in-game library has been updated! This is a fairly minor notice but various artists with two different names to their band title (HIM & H.I.M. as an example) have been fixed. In addition the genres were also updated (Deep Purple is oddly enough now listed as Progressive instead of Classic Rock).

As an added bonus, Harmonies have now been applied to the 30 Harmonix songs released in the pack back in April (and from the pre-order bonus).

~ DECEMBER PATCH UPDATE ~
A new patch will be released in a couple of days that will fix various bugs and glitches in addition to offering some more items for the character/band customisation. The Rivals Expansion owners will also receive 12 free tracks from the artists who appeared in the Rockudrama parody-like story mode.

~ ONLINE MULTIPLAYER UPDATE ~
The good news is that online multiplayer is nearly complete. This can be played up to four players and during the library, it's been filtered to view only the songs that all players have together rather than seeing them blurred out like in previous games. Plus the cool intro from Rock Band 2 returns for Rock Band 4's online multiplayer.

The downside to all this is that the update has been delayed to January in order to ensure the game mode works successfully, especially in odd situations like disconnection and pausing.

~ SIEE EXPORTS UPDATE ~
As you all know, the exports for various Rock Band games (minus Rock Band 1, 3 & Blitz) are still unavailable for European PlayStation 4 owners. It has been revealed that the Rock Band 2 export is currently in testing and owners of the export from the PS3 era can download the System of a Down's Chop Suey! song for free.
 
So if I was to buy brand new copies of all the PS3 Rock Band Games am I able to still export all of them to PS4? Just curious, I doubt I would do it since I would be leaving sooooooo much DLC and RBN stuff behind on the 360.
