With our special guest star, RUSH! YAYYYYYYYYY

With the arrival of Karma Chameleon, we nearly have the entire The Mix 107.77 radio station from Saints Row 2 in Rock Band. I think the only song missing at this point is Out of Touch by Hall & Oates.

The game night theme seemed a little vague and loose, so my crew has been calling it the Zoolander challenge because all the Zoolander songs that are already in RB qualify for the challenge.

C'mon now; in a party setting, RB is basically "hey it's that song" in video-game form.

I'm in for both tracks, for once.

I'm way more into "hey it's that song" from 90s one hit wonders than from the 4 year old pop hits that I recognize from Apple ads.

VROOM VROOM

To anyone who bought the Electric Six pack when it briefly went back up on sale at the launch of Rock Band 4, did anyone else lose access to Dance Epidemic and I Don't Like You? Went to play the former for the weekly challenge, and got a message that the song was unplayable but refreshing my song library might fix it, with both songs disappearing from my in-game library after doing so (though still viewable in my installed files on the Xbox dashboard). I should note too that Gay Bar is still playable, as are the Dinosaur Jr. which I bought at the same time.

I have repeatedly had that issue with my entire library. I don't know if Rock Band is a piece of poo poo, the Xbox is a piece of poo poo, or if Live is a piece of poo poo. Either way, I routinely have my library disappear and doing the check in the options menu just hides them all because it can't find the licenses. A combination of rebooting the game and console and trying to redownload and check the library and swearing is required to fix it, taking somewhere between 5 to 20 minutes.


It is a large part of why I play so rarely now. This happens almost every time I try to play.

And then I remember my 360 and RB3 both still work, so I just do that instead.

The pirate code is really more of a guideline, than actual rules.

I still have a zillion other games to play and two kids to raise but I swear I'll join a crew when I have more time for RB4.

Are the requirements for Dad Zone just to be a dad, or do I also have to be good at plastic instruments? :v:

That’s Kaboobi’s top secret crew, not an open goon one. But you’re welcome on Goons Playing Tunes regardless of ability level as soon as you have time to contribute plays. We have more lifetime Rivals Points than they do anyway. :smug:

Looks like a couple of those songs might have fun harmonies.

We're all set to play more this evening, probably by ourselves since no-one online could pay attention to the "wants to play Rivals songs" flag.

So... Let's say someone snapped the pedal of their RB4 set. Anyone have suggestions for an inexpensive MIDI drum set?

I'll keep yelling about the brilliance of the ROLAND TD4P v. Had it 3 years + now, has survived many drunken bashings - and even if a pad did go, changing one is easy an inexpensive - and it folds away to the size of a space heater.
I managed to grab mine for $1100NZD - so I'm sure you can find one relatively cheap in the US.
