Has it kept my experience alive? A bit, though I was still playing often by the time I heard about C3. What it did do is refresh the experience for many of my friends. My RB now goes on the road a lot, and I don’t mind — people get shocked just to see how much good stuff is on there.

 

And the songs… yes, they have made me go back and see what Harmonix has in their RB catalog and has prompted me to purchase a few CDs even. Thanks for keeping this around.

I would like to know how those of you finding out about C3 now (i.e. 2 years+ in) are hearing about it. I have an idea that the HMX forums are a bit more lax when customs are mentioned than they used to back in the days, and I think that may have something to do with it. But I have no proof of that.

I had seen a few videos on youtube of some customs, but always thought it was done through modding the xbox and such. After some digging I found this site ” src=”/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/default_SA_smile.gif” />

Even though ive bought 90% of dlc, I still felt a little empty inside because I know that even with all the gh and rockband games and their dlc, that its just the tip of the iceberg. Then I found out about you people, and by you people I mean everybody and their beautiful brain that has help make the vision a reality. You guys have just about perfected the whole video game/ partyokee idea. Then it gets better, you guys are sharing your knowledge so that just about anybody ( I use that term loosely) can create and keep the vision going. THANK YOU!!!!! to everyone, I have gotten many hours of enjoyment out of the second life you breathed into my 360. I know charting isnt easy but has anyone thought about a lead guitar, a rhythm guitar, and bass chart? CHEERS & THANKS.

If you chart it they will play

Right then, as the end of days seems to now be approached I guess this is the best time as any to do this, to be honest this is kind of hard to do.

 

After the DLC dried up, me and my friends still played Rock Band but I could sense the end was coming with no DLC it was just a matter of time before we couldn’t be bothered to get the stuff out…

 

So I searched endlessly on Rock Band forums / Rock Band Aide and other sites just trying to find some information that possibly new DLC was coming or Rock Band 4 was in development, there was nothing… Then around the end of 2013, there was thread on the official Rock Band forums on how people keep the game fresh, on this thread someone mentioned customs “what’s this customs thing?” I thought.

 

A few google searches and I came across a YouTube video of someone playing customs, this was awesome however I soon realised this probably relied on a modded 360, then a bit more searching I saw C3’s how to play customs on a 360 guide. Did it and it worked! My mind was blown, literally the first week my friends came round after discovering this, this was like Rock Band 4 to us, having all these new songs and convenience of stuff like having to no longer change discs when I wanted to play Beatles Rock Band allowing us to import these now to Rock Band was/is beyond awesome.

 

I tried doing customs and failed (ask funky, thanks for your help) lol, but with C3 going I may give it another shot, but from trying customs myself I see the effort it takes to make them and I couldn’t have any more respect for the authors because of this, sure there are a few customs that aren’t my cup of tea, but thats my problem and I will always respect peoples efforts.

 

Friday releases were a highlight again, so many great songs released, too many to list and a special shout out also to songs that probably wouldn’t see the light of day, even if HMX was still doing DLC, Black Lace – Superman for example, this song took me back to my childhood going to a local social club with my parents, I find it hard to believe this was have got done via official means.

 

THANK YOU for on the top of my head: Guns n Roses – November Rain, Led Zepplin – Stairway to Heaven, Madonna – Like a Prayer, Genesis – Land of Confusion, Toto – Africa, Cranberries – Zombie and there is literally so many, many, many more!

 

And also a big shout out to the guys on “The Other Customs” thread, especially the guys who do FB customs. Whether still active today or not.

 

So there we go, from a simple google search, here we are almost 2 years later. Seriously to all the authors THANK YOU not just from me, from my wife and from every single person who has played a custom when I bring Rock Band to a party. You kept this going longer than I ever thought would have hoped and whilst RB4 won’t straight away replace Rock Band 3 party wise (as it all about the songs then) I will still be buying RB4 on release and see what the future holds.

 

All the best and I hope we can continue C3.

 

THANK YOU

Adam and the band (No Fail Mode)

It has kept, lets say rejuvenated my interest. I love all the interesting customs (Henry the VIII, Kicks, and Just Dropped In bring back so many memories of my youth).

 

I’m kinda confused though, how does the arrival of RB4 affect C3?

 

But if it is indeed the end, I would like to thank everyone that has helped me.

Take 10 minutes to read the copious threads and posts about this topic already. Been discussed to death and has at least two announcement threads dedicated to that effect.

[sanchny]

I only just found out about C3 this summer. My interest in RB3 had waned and I had stopped playing, despite owning ~700 official songs, an Ion drum set, and an RB3 Squier Stratocaster. My interest was rekindled with the RB4 announcement this Spring, but even then I didn’t know about C3. I wish I knew sooner, instead of as it’s ending.

 

I had known that RB customs existed but thought it required modding your system, which I had no interest in doing. I’m not sure exactly what it was, but *something* clicked this summer and I realized (saw somewhere) that modding wasn’t required on the 360. Joining this late in the game is a little weird because the community has been around for so long and there are so many known authors and community members and they’ve made so many songs available, but I’m happy I’ve found it. I just got an XB1 for RB4, but I’ll be keeping my 360 right next to it for customs, both playing and hopefully authoring some songs. And I’m glad that there were no takers when I was trying to get rid of my Squier and RB keyboard controller earlier in the summer.

This community is literally a dream come true. When HMX DLC ended, there were still so many great artists that I badly wanted to see in RB – but that was it, the final cut, not to be. Then I found out about the GH to RB project, but those songs were Xbox only! I downloaded them anyway, in the hope that, one day, there would be a way to make them work on the PS3. Every few weeks, I would do an Internet search for PS3 RB customs. Finally, in July of 2014, I hit this link: http://pksage.com/ccc/IPS/index.php?/topic/10443-how-to-playing-customs-on-ps3/page-1 and I’ve been here ever since.

 

I’ve seen a lot of well deserved “thank you”s go out to Farottone, Pksage, and all the C3 authors. I want to take a moment to thank Trojan Nemo and TDCMark. Without their efforts, the PS3 would not have been a part and I never would have been able to enjoy the rest.

 

Thanks to all for giving me my heart’s desire:

…and Hamburgerjung and Stack and all the people who worked hard behind the scenese to convert songs for PS3, Wii and Phase Shift. You are absolutely right: they deserve a ton of credit!

Yeah Stack has been extremely helpful for many people, including me, and I am quite grateful for his work as well. The “Playing Customs on Wii” thread has basically been 61 pages of him helping people get customs working!

Hello, I’m new to this group. I just wanted to thank everyone who made this possible! It’s really breathed new life into my Rock Band Experience. I just found out about this is site last week and I can’t wait to be apart of this community!

if it wasn’t for stack, i would have never used any of the resources on this site.

Just want to say a big huge thanks to all the guys at C3 and all authors contributing all these great custom songs , I have been playing rockband / guitar hero since day one all those years ago lol and unable to purchase rb4 as of yet but still playing RB3 , but as the choice available is soo vast for customs it keeps the rocking alive .

 

I have been reading up on all the experts posts and just seeing how much time and effort goes in is amazing and so undervalued by some , keep up the good work guys , i hope to contribute someday but will need a big helping hand lol

 

ooooh cheeky request as there seems to be Stones tracks around any chance of my name sake as my favourite Stones track back in the Blues days

 

Cheers guys , enjoying every minute ” src=”/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/default_SA_biggrin.gif” />

Well, as a charter of Stones songs myself, I would love to chart that song. Alas, my weakness in charting is the very first step, tempo mapping. If we could find someone to tempo map it, I would do the rest ” src=”/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/default_SA_smile.gif” />
