If it werent for C3 (or the custom scene, I guess), I think I would’ve stopped playing RB. The release of RB4 is useless to me, being a pro k/g/b player. C3 is my future on the RB side, unless HMX magically updates RB4 with pro keys at least, in which I have big doubts.

 

Anyways, keep up the great work!

I started with RB1 and then moved to RB3 (no RB2 in officially Australia), I have been playing all the time ever since. When DLC ended I was a little sad, then later I found customs via that other iso site and various other locations. THEN C3 ENTERS, Wow. The organisation here is great, I love the database, makes it easy to find songs; and the visualiser images is a great concept.

 

C3 for me has added the extra variety/genre of songs to rockband, like rhythm guitar, sax/bagpipes etc on keys. I will continue to play RB3 and customs, and thanks to C3 I’ll try my hand at authoring a song. I also got another person to migrate from GH to RB because of customs, specifically because of the C3 database website, and with all the tools available makes it easy for them (novice computer/xbox user) to get songs onto their xbox.

 

I’ve been lurking here for a long time. I’d like to say a very big thanks to all those in C3, GHtoRB3, RBHP, and all the authors whether you’re in C3 or not, I have probably played your customs, and I loved them.

 

I hope C3 and customs continue after RB4 is released.

Yes. I look forward to every friday. Even when rb3 was well and alive there seem to be more interesting choices here. Because im on wii i wont be able to experience rb4 so this group has been essential to expanding the life of rb for me.

 

Ill be sad when you guys stop outputting songs.

I don’t post here ever, really, but the whole reason my group of friends started playing Rock Band 3 was because of C3. Every week, we meet up and play Guitar Hero and Rock Band. We’ve been doing it for years. We used to play mostly Guitar Hero, but eventually we got Rock Band 2. It’s a great game, we loved it and wanted to buy some DLC for it. We even made a list of all the songs we were going to buy, there were dozens. But unfortunately we found out that by the time we got RB2, the DLC store was already shut down on the Wii, so instead we decided to add some custom songs.

 

While we were searching for custom songs for RB2, we found C3. At first we were disappointed because all the customs were for RB3, but then we realized we could just switch to RB3 instead. Since then we’ve downloaded so many songs from the database and the forums. Some songs we couldn’t find, so we used the tutorials on the forum to chart them ourselves. C3 is awesome, the game is so much more fun when all the songs are ones you actually like.

 

(Also the RB3 DLC store still worked so we were able to get the DLC we wanted after all ” src=”/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/default_SA_smile.gif” /> )

 

Unfortunately we’re probably not going to be able to play RB4 because all of our instruments are for the Wii (not sure if they’ll work with the XBox/PS), but we’re still going to keep playing RB3 even after there aren’t any new C3 songs.

We were late adopters of RB3 after playing it at a friends house.

Got it, then discovered customs.

Now we have the most robust catalog in our circles thanks to the fine folks here and all the hard work they do!

Emphatic YES to your question.

firstly let me say my RB life pre c3 was a happy one, i was a Ps3 user with pretty much the entire Harmonix DLC bought and paid for and played constantly on all instruments.

However, having played the same songs on drums so often, i became obsessed with high scores & record attempts, to the point of lunacy!!! all the while constantly searching the web for ways to get new songs onto my ps3, but to no avail.

then one day after getting sick of my searches always ending with “only for xbox360” , i decided to follow the white rabbit as if i owned one of these magical 360 devices and clicked on, curious as to how the other half lived & exactly what i was missing out on…

that was the day C3 not only improved the playing field, but changed the whole frickin game entirely as far as i’m concerned!

i signed up and spent the entire Friday evening finding some of my all time favourite songs and reading awesome comments & chat between awesome RB enthusiasts, so excited for the daylight to arrive bringing with it Saturday morning retail hours!

so within 15 or so hours of joining this community, i had gone and bought an x360 and the first guitars & drums i came across (still not managed to get a darn Logitech guitar for 360 tho, despite having won an ebay auction for one *thanks very much Ebay & australia post! i didnt want a refund, i wanted a red LogiGit to match my 2 Black ones!!!*)

Anyway, i’ve since introduced this amazing site to others & we’re now frantically trying to get authoring sussed before you shut down for your very well deserved hiatus, coz we play C3 customs and Other Community Customs constantly.

BTW most of the people i play with are working musos who gig/tour constantly, so being able to have a cupla drinks & have fun together in the loungeroom on songs other than our own originals that we all have to play constantly (ad nauseum!) has really put some fun back into our home lives

So Thankyou so much Farottone, pksage, TrojanNemo, Nyxyx…, espher, sideshow, nunchuck & all of the other authors who spend sooooo much time and effort to give us all stuff to rock out to. You can all feel free to ask me to test any drum charts, any artist, anytime , anywhere.

You Guys Rock

Rock Band customs without a doubt saved me from getting entirely burnt out of RB3. After playing every single song umpteen times I just started picking up the game less and less and less, sometimes going months without playing it. Because of C3 I’ve been able to play some of my absolute favorite songs ever, stuff I never thought I’d see in the game in a million years. Yes’ Gates of Delirium? Dream Theater’s A Change of Seasons? The entire Act II by The Protomen? Dreams comes true to play in the game all made possible by the awesome dedicated people here. So yeah, C3’s customs really did a ton to rejuvenate my interest in RB and I want to very emphatically thank everyone here who’s contributed something to the community.

C3 customs brought me back from years of absence and across platforms to play Rock Band again. I had to stop myself from buying more DLC at one point, and got back into it in RB3 when they announced the end of DLC. But it didn’t last very long as the variety was not increased that much. I was always sad that PS3 support just wasn’t the same and avoided the customs scene because it didn’t apply to me.

 

I was very impressed when I came across C3 this year and found the massive catalogue available. So much so that I went out and bought an Xbox from some kid in the boonies who seemed confused that I would want one (it was clearly sidelined by his XB1). Not long after that I found myself with a fancy electronic drum set rocking along to bands I never imagined would be in the game, and spending every spare moment thinking of new songs to add and setting to work on making it a reality.

 

I now have quite an impressive library, to the point where I have to prune it frequently to stay under the song cap. Yet even more impressive is the list of “to do” songs I still hope to add someday, with the only limit being time. C3 made all of that happen and empowered me to keep it up indefinitely, the step HMX could never take. But I have to imagine they are proud.

And of course RB4 will be awesome but RB3 already rocks, and no matter what farattone and all you guys are gods of music and C3 will be always in my heart and im sure you will continue because music is life so C3 is life but even more than that thanks

 

Keep Rockin!

[ComaWhiteCPW]

Thank you to the official contributors as well as the authors in the other customs section. I enjoy browsing and adding to my collection. Definetly kept the experience alive. RB4 will be fun as it will be a new challenge in terms of goals, achievements, and skill, but C3 has kept the game and experience alive for me and my friends who wanna have full band karaoke and could care less about the in game accomplishments. So thanks again!!

[Deadly Robots]

C3 rejuvenated my love for the game, and helped it reassert itself as the primary multiplayer game in my circle of friends. I’ll always be thankful for that.

[imac007]

I would say they have. I play quite a lot, but now I have new songs.

I tried my hand at creating, but couldn’t get the handle of it.

Now I just wait and see what gets released.

Keep it up.

[Kylr0y]

Put plainly my life is crap, I use Rock Band as a coping mechanism, Life just seems more worth living knowing there will be more great old and new songs to play on every friday, I have not given up un Harmonix or rock band as since i have begin using CCC as a song source i have still been buying rb3 songs to the tune of 600$ worth or more, still buy more every friday! I currently cant afford the current gen/instruments needed,RB4 game, but i will get it when i can, i heard there will be no online band capability in RB4, as i have noone local to play with i guess i will be doomed to play with myself.

So You can say CCC has kept me wanting to live and interested in a game that Aint dead yet!

 

I will miss CCC, and always remember their part in making my life better!

 

Rock on and Prosper!

Hello all.

 

I was about to type out a long, boring story about when I first played RB and how awesome it was but we all know this. I’ve loved these games since I first played one and found it so, so difficult to get used to. But then it clicked and I’ve never looked back.

 

RB3 and Rock Band: Beatles were so important to me. The latter in particular because my wife is a huge Beatles fan (as am I) and she was genuinely hype to sing all these songs that we both love in the game and so she greenlit us getting the band in a box set. I can’t sing for toffee and am more than happy to play bass. And bass is all I play in RB3 too. I love bass. Love it.

 

And truthfully I’ve gone all these years just playing bass on all the great songs in game (RB1, RB2 and RB3) and some of the great DLC (REM, Nirvana, Stone Temple Pilots, Soundgarden, Hendrix, etc) and absolutely loving it.

 

And then I found out about customs. And holy shit – the fun really started then. And I really mean fun.

 

So, yeah, C3 hasn’t really kept the experience alive because I’ve still got official DLC to buy that I really want to play (and I will, absolutely, continue to buy that DLC – ‘Ten’ album pack is next) but it’s just multiplied the fun to the nth degree. Pink Floyd? Chris Isaak? Temple of the Dog? MADONNA? Hell. Yes. Please.

 

I genuinely from the bottom of my heart appreciate the time, effort and skill all you authors put into doing this. The fact you’re all doing it for the love of music really shines through. The variety is the key for me. And even though I will buy RB4 because I want to support HMX and Mad Catz for making all this possible, I really, really hope that C3 and other authors that I’m yet to discover continue to produce customs because I can see myself playing this game for many years to come.

 

Thanks very much. Cheers.

I started playing with my buddy just about every other Sunday again after two years off mostly thanks the C3.
