Amazing work on this! However I haven’t passed a single Genesis song on drums yet
” src=”/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/default_SA_frown.gif” /> lol. I got close to passing The Battle of Epping forest, might have to try that one again.EDIT: Yay! I at least passed Firth of Fifth!
Farottone doesn’t like being in the limelight but whereas everyone involved worked hardBut living in the limelight is the universal dream!
Whoops, wrong prog rock band.
With the inclusion of this release it will put my full band custom drive over 2900 songs. Time to buy a new thumbstick!
I’m still goofy about this release. Been playing it all day.
So thankful you guys put them in CON Album packages. However, the following songs show up under “Genesis”, without an attachment to their albums.
Eleventh Earl of Mar
Follow You Follow Me
For Absent Friends
The Knife
Many Too Many
The Musical Box
Paperlate (strange album artwork)
Your Own Special Way
Is that expected? I haven’t yet used C3 Tools, but I could probably use that to fix this, right?
Amazing accomplishment. Congrats! I’m looking forward to learning about a lot of songs that I am not familiar with, and hope to gain a few new favorites.
So thankful you guys put them in CON Album packages. However, the following songs show up under “Genesis”, without an attachment to their albums.Not sure what you mean? I have tested all songs and they group with their albums. Remember though, there has to be at least 3 songs from an album for them to group in game. A few albums only have one or two songs, those won’t group.
Paperlate (strange album artwork)My understanding is that it was an EP. It was created to go with Abacab but for some reason that I don’t know and I’m too lazy to research now, it was only released as an EP. The powers that be decided it should be put together with Abacab. That, if it bothers you, can definitely be fixed using C3 CON Tools.
just wondering how long until, Supper’s Ready gets keys, just wondering because, want to make all of them into a pack soon. btw Thanks for all the Songs/Albums, i downloaded everyone of them, also hi Spin.

Nope. That explains it. These are all songs that come from albums with only one or two songs. I wasn’t aware of that limitation. Thanks for the explanation!

Explains that too. I know Paperlate from side 4 of Three Sides Live, but it never dawned on me that it wasn’t on a full album.
Nothing bothers me about this release. Nothing.

But then farottone started talking about murdering people with 3D printed copies of REAPER and I started backing away slowly.
What Flan said. Paperlate was originally released on 3 Sides Live. Grouping it with Abacab for the release here seems like a fair compromise. I was very surprised to see it in any event. In a good way.
This is a shitty story. But for the C3 authors that did this, it’s my cringy salute to them. (There’s a nice ending, I promise.)
My older brother turned me on to Genesis in I guess it was late 70’s. Maybe it was already the ’80s. I was a budding artist and wanted to draw something. He was frustrated by me being around and handed me the album sleeve of “…And Then There Were Three…” and said, “I don’t know. Draw this.”
I’ll never forget how the band name was written… angled letters, most of the ones in the beginning were full and stylized, and then the rest trailed off. But the way the band name was written there always stuck with me. I listened to that album incessantly. When I discovered “Duke”, it was the greatest thing I’d ever heard. I was 10. And I wanted more. I admit that I’m the terrible Genesis fan that “old school” Genesis fans scoff at, because I love “The Phil Collins Trio”, but that’s the band that made me. But I went back to “Trick” and “Foxtrot” and especially “The Lamb”.
My first concert ever… Giants Stadium in NJ on the Invisible Touch tour.
Erase everything between then and now for the sake of brevity, and I bought RB2 and a PS3 because I always wanted to play drums, and apparently this was all the rage. Also, “Alex Chilton” was on it, and The ‘Mats were another of my favorite bands.
I progressed through the drums, and also did vocals because I can kind of sing, and always called it “Phil Collins-ing it” when I did both at the same time. The dude is my hero. And as much as I loved RB, I was waiting for the day they released Genesis.
They never did.
I got an XBox really cheap a couple years ago and hardly played it until I discovered customs and went into them just to sing, because my IONs weren’t compatable with the XBox. When my IONs/PS3 interface cable died I just decided to get a Roland kit and the Midi Pro Adapter for the PS3. It was great for my PS3 Rock Band. After a year, I realized that a Midi Adapter for the XBox would let me play drums with customs, so I bought an XBox MPA a couple months ago. And then the “Genesis: Chronicles” announcement came up.
I haven’t played drums to customs until yesterday. I spent most of this week ensuring that my drums would work with my XBox. I took a sick day from work for the Chronicles release.
Today, I positioned my mic stand and drums and Phil Collins’ed everything from “Abacab” and “Duke” and “Three” and some of “Selling England…” and “The Lamb…” After my arms wore out from the drums, I went to vocals only, and I figured I’d end the night on the pinnacle of this release.
“Supper’s Ready” You maniacs really did it. Holy cats. Bless you.
I’m still emotional that you guys did this one. “Supper’s Ready” It’s my favorite song ever. I think I finished with an 88% on Hard (APPARENTLY the real words are different than the ones you yell out in your car!!!), but belting out “a new Jerusalem”, in goddamned Rock Band… it was emotionally soul-crushing. It’s not the first time I wept today.
Thank you, C3 authors, and Farottone for putting this together. You’ve given me everything I’ve ever wanted from this stupid game that has given me so much, and now gives me more.
This release is as official as can be. I’d have bought this on release if Harmonix put it out. This is an amazing thing. I’m truly beside myself.
It’s Rock Band: Genesis
Apparently, C3 doesn’t take donations, so I just sent $50 to the March Of Dimes. (I know a new game is usually $60, but I usually find deals, so whatevs.) That money was due to go somewhere. Thanks for this.

I wanted so badly to use it in a teaser but it would have spoiled the surprise.

It’s an awesome thing you did. This is something I had my mind set on from day one but we never acted on it. If any of you guys feel like we deserve to be compensated, donate to a good charity.
” src=”/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/default_SA_smile.gif”>And great to hear you liked this release, with all the hype the risk of underdelivering was substantial, from the general reaction it seems like we didn’t fail.
” src=”/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/default_SA_smile.gif”>You didn’t fail at all mate – superb release, even though I haven’t played any yet, waiting on the wii conversions – I KNOW they will be excellent.
Completely in awe of the work involved and I look forward to picking up many of the well known songs and then listening to all the stuff I don’t know.
