nothing that particularly jumps out at me on an epic scale, but i'm in all the way, I just can't get enough of GH DLC.

Of course RB dlc owns GH3 DLC but you've got to admit that every DLC song they've released is pure fun to play and that cannot be said for every RB dlc.

Of course there are awesome songs in RB but no real epic ones IMO


Only if you define "epic" as "large quantity of coloured notes flying at you".

If you want to include musical quality, soul, meaningfulness, etc. - then Dragonforce, Satriani, Steve Vai, etc. do not even belong in the same paragraph as the word "epic."


You obviously haven't listened to very much of these guys then. I'll agree with you on Dragonforce, but saying Satriani and Vai don't make quality music with soul and meaning? Seriously?


LOL, I can't help but think something is incredibly wrong with people today. Satriani, Vai and Buckethead were the most amazing choices I could imagine. Also, looking at DragonForce, it seems they came a few generations too late, if they rose in the 70s i think the subject of DragonForce's epicness would be very different, i think Revolution Deathsquad was one of the best choices ever, and playing that for the first time was such an epic feeling, as well as the rest of the pack, it was like being thrown into an entirely new GH universe, even more so than TTFAF and any song i'd played before. It's a ridiculously entertaining pack and people need to stop thinking of this in a "oh but they weren't an amazingly epic band who did this and that, omg but GH/RB are still putting them up for DLC", the fact of the matter is, they are amazing songs to play in a rhythm game. For example, Bob Marley is unbelievably epic in every way, his songs defined beautiful african love century, but boy would I be pissed if I paid £2.50 to play Don't Worry Be Happy on Guitar.

tl;dr stop arguing about DLC and trying to make it about the meanings/soul of the music, because when it comes to GH, i'd pick DragonForce over Bob Marley any day, and anyone who would rather Bob Marley, i admire you, but i will eat your face if you sway the DLC market that way.

Exactly. On guitar hero, you can't bend notes or slide a pick up a string, you can't make the guitar 'cry' like Hendrix. IMO, GH isn't about the 'soul' of the music (although, WT might get somewhat closer with the velocity-sensing drums), but about the fun and challenge of complex note patterns.

I've listened to Satriani and Vai quite a bit - and you're right, there are a few songs Satriani has done that are quite good. The majority of his work I'm not too into, but SwtA is one of his better works, I do have to admit.

Vai, however, I was probably too nice to. Have you seen the guy in concert? The time I saw him, he stood in front of a giant fan so his hair would blow in the wind and acted like every stupid sustained note he played was manna falling from the heaven. It was a G3 concert with Satriani, Vai, and Kenny Wayne Sheppard, and KWS blew Satriani and Vai away in every conceivable way.

Vai was trained by him...

Texas flood is the Stevie Ray Vaughn album right? I'm NOT looking forward to AC/DC if it's anything like Let There Be Rock. That was the most disappointed I had ever been by any game ever was playing that song.

That AFI, Manson, Flyleaf pack = BORING

Velvet Revolver pack = BORING

Dropkick Murphy pack = SO BORING OMFG

All the free songs (Halo, Top Gun, Murloc) = Ugh. Bad.


I'll give you Dragonforce and Virtuoso. I'll even give you the classic pack with Journey and Boston and such. But please man, it's really not close.



'Epic' Rock Band songs: The whole Metallica Pack, the whole Who pack, the whole Boston pack, Judas Priest album, Working Man (Rush), Shockwave (SO awesome), Skullcrusher Mountain (Epic song), YYZ

There's like 30 songs or more right there. And that's like a fraction of all the DLC available and a fraction of all the DLC I have and, let me tell you, I'm pleased with just about every purchase. (Except Snow. UGH)

My Guitar Hero purchases have been nothing but disappointing. I really hope that GH:WT changes that but I feel it's a little silly to boast the superior DLC when there's so little of it and most of it is subpar.

EDIT: I neglected to mention the upcoming albums for Rock Band in the "epic" catergory. Texas Flood (Holy hell is this going to be hard), AC/DC pack.

And also, the Coldplay wasn't anything to write home about in GH3.


Although I think Shockwave is a freaking awesome song and i'd love their full album in RB or GH it's not epic in the sense of the word. Epic is something that sends shivers down your spine something like soothsayer or for the love of god do that to me...at least to me.Shockwave doesn't.

I agree the Boston pack was cool and I guess you could call More than a Feeling epic but not more epic then Soothsayer or For the love of god. Also the Dropkick Murphy pack was free and the other packs you mentioned:

AFI MM, Flyleaf pack was just for the soundtrack and is tons of fun playing.

Also the VR pack, i wouldnt call Slither easy And the Dropkick Murphy pack was free and all songs were not exactly easy. And i still play them once in a while.

Also nearly all free songs were fun. W3K was awesome, I am murloc was funny just like skullcrusher mountain(not epic...funny)and it was also free.

IMO rush is not epic, Judas Priest and Metallica are all not epic although they have great songs don't get me wrong. They have their epic songs like for judas priest IMO Electric Eye and for Metallica "One" which happens to be in GH3 .

And the Coldplay pack was just because it was well known and to stop the virtuoso and DF pack madness . Sorry for the long post.

what are you talking about? How is Rush, Boston, Metallica, the Who etc... NOT epic while Dragonforce is? You have this completely backwards.

The Who has Baba O Riley and Pinball Wizard, Boston has More then a Feeling and one or two others, Metallica has One and the unforgiven IMO, and Rush is not very epic IMO. Also I never said DF was epic That doesn't mean the other songs by the bands aren't bad but they're just not EPIC.

Stupid fanboy argument about "epic" stuff


God dammit, people, do you not realize that there's no point in this? Arguing about what's "epic" and isn't is completely useless, because no one's going to change anyone's mind, and quite frankly, the word "epic" basically means nothing any more because of how often people feel the need to throw it out there when simply using the word "cool" or "awesome" would suffice. I can't be the only one who doesn't really give a shit how "epic" something is as long as it's fun. For chrissake, we've had enough GH/RB arguments already.

By the way, if I didn't post in this topic already, sweet week. Death Magnetic I may finally get around to getting, a few of those other songs are definitely worth buying, and No Rain is nice. Haven't really listened to that song in a loooooooong time.

i basically bought a ps3 just for gh:wt

on an off-topic note:

i really wish i had gh3 for ps3/x360, the virtuoso pack and the DF pack look so much fun to play.
VR pack too

btw, I'm pretty sure that DF would live up to their reputation if they stopped being drunk at every concert.

still off-topic:
I'm a guitarist myself, and I've made quite a few songs of my own which were fast-paced, but not DF-ish. A friend of a friend of mine wanted to speed up one of my songs, which I absolutely refuse. I call it 'guitarist's pride'. All the guitarists I know have that same type of pride; if they can't do it live, they won't do it in the studio.

I don't know for sure, but I think this guitarist's pride applies to most guitarists, including DF.
But that may just be me. :/

ok im sorry that this reply is probably about to piss off a lot of people, but here i go.

what are a lot of people smoking these days?

rock band and rock band 2 dlc better than guitar hero 3 and guitar hero world tour dlc?

what?

well i see how one could say this. 1) if they are a rock band and/or harmonix fan boy or 2) if they are completely obsessed with drums and singing.

i'll admit there are a lot of good songs for dlc in the rock band games, but blood sugar sex magik being better than all of gh dlc? let me guess dark viper, you're obsessed with rhcp and u think they're the best shit to happen to this world? because i know people who really like rhcp and they wouldn't even come close to aggreeing with that.

i've seen the rock band dlc and played it. its just not as good as gh dlc.

some of the epic bands/musicians in gh dlc are dragonforce, metallica, journey, joe satriani, buckethead, steve vai, slash, tom morello, ozzy osbourne, and queen.

and quite frankly a lot of the rock band dlc is extremeley boring to play, undercharted, and pathetically unspectactular.

there's no question that guitar hero dlc is better than rock band dlc. how could one make an arguement for rock band dlc being better than guitar hero's.
