Yeah, those are worthy songs, particularly the Metallica and Black Sabbath ones. I think they could call the Dec. 18 pack the "navel-gazers," but that might give people the wrong idea. That's not what I'm talking about.
Look at the Police pack, which is already out.
Look at the third song.
Motherfucking "Roxanne."
Yeah, I know part of the appeal of this game overlaps with the desire to sing along at concerts and possibly even karaoke, and maybe bring your buddy's girl/guy-friend in on the mic because s/he might not be able to play the toy guitar or drums. But does no one remember the "Elevator Fans" skit on Saturday Night Live with Sting, Kevin Nealon and Dana Carvey? I'm linking the script because I couldn't find a video of it as an example of what I'm talking about.
I won't say "thankfully," but four Rock Band fans have already produced an example of what I was talking about. And like Yahtzee and Halo 3, I want everyone to know that I fucking called it.
It's hard to criticize song packs and song selection only because it's all in the eye of the beholder. (If someone remarks about it's ears instead of eyes.. automatic FAIL). Anyway... I like the Metallica tracks, but from the 3 song packs they offered only one interested me.
I could say it sucks but I'm sure these new packs made someone's day.
I like how they actually put and justice for all from metallica, because
1. Its a really complex song, theres about 3 main riffs, and a shit load of licks.
2. Its about 11 minutes long.
Hahaha, but its a 60 mb download, thats pretty big for a DLC song i guess, but that would be the only reason i would get rock band, is to play the fuckin drum parts on AFJA, those are fuckin kick ass.
I guess I'm not really surprised that none of you have actually acknowledged what I really wanted to talk about in this post, but hey, free message board.

The Disc already has a really good track list. Way better than GH3 in my opinion.

And yes, I do like music.
If it really bothers you, just hide/destroy your mike, and if anyone asks...
shoot them.
