Don't fret, Rock Band will get new DLC Tue

Back before Rock Band released in the US we had a pretty good idea of what downloadable content was in the pipeline, because Harmonix shared a handy DLC release schedule. But that handy schedule only detailed Rock Band DLC through December 18th and we have yet to receive any word from Harmonix about future DLC. As a result, we've been in the dark. And when we're in the dark we think of the worst possible scenario which would be that they ran out of Rock Band DLC. Oh teh noes!Thankfully fanboys, that isn't the case. Harmonix developer hmxsean over on the official Rock Band forums shed light on the Rock Band DLC mystery and confirms that there will be new content releasing this Tuesday, that more content is planned weekly and that a second handy Rock Band DLC schedule will be released on Monday. Hmxsean then goes on to tease us about a future Rock Band "fix" that's planned, but doesn't give any details. Happy DLC Tuesday and a special fix coming soon, joy!
[Thanks, Baker]

fix = online Band World Tour amirite?
hopefully they fix some stuff like account switching and the glitch where if a certain instrument drops out at the beginning of the song, you can't hear it for the rest of the song. Blackened by Metallica without drums was just plain creepy.

That is great to hear! I hope they give us a special Christmas pack with 9 songs or something! Rock Band is such a blast and right now I am home for the holidays and everyone wants more songs to play!

How about releasing it in Europe early? I want to virtually play some drums god-dammit!

I hope they add in support for using your character with different instruments. Me and my bandmates switch around a lot and it would be cool if our character could move with us.

The steady stream of content for this game so far is extremely impressive.

The only "fix" I'm interested in is single-player band world tour mode, but I know that's not coming... :(

You can do the World Tour by yourself you know.

I'm curious as to what this DLC will be! Maybe our first full album? Since it is Xmas...
I also want the 'fix' to be Online Band World Tour. I don't get the game until Tuesday but damnit it already saddens me that I can't jump online and tour with what will be the greatest virtual band of all time.

Great, I just redeemed a points card a friend gave me as an early Christmas present and now I have to save them until Tuesday, to see what DLC's coming up the line.

"that more content is planned weekly and that a second handy Rock Band DLC schedule will be released on Monday."
Maybe I missed it, but I didn't see anything in that post that mentioned a new schedule being released..?

Zack, How so? I tried creating a singer, but get dizzy trying to play drums and sing too! Is there a way to work around that?
Amber @ Dec 27th 2007 6:51AM
The easiest way by far is to use the guitar and play bass all the time while you sing. Sometimes you'll be forced to pick Hard with both instruments, that's when knowing the setlist comes in handy for choosing whether you're going to be Hard guitar or Expert bass. If I recall correctly, you're NEVER forced to pick Expert, the highest difficulty you're *forced* to play is Hard. Since you'll be focusing on the notes all the time, in order to completely beat Band World Tour by yourself, you'll have to have all of the songs memorized to the point where you can play every one on Hard Vocals and still pass it without even looking at it. Good luck! (I can do this but that's only because Vocals is my best area.)
