      Sorry for the delays. Spent the entire weekend at a gaming convention/expo (the most-attended event of its type ever held in our neck of the woods) and have been busy trying to get RB:HP sorted out for this week. Totally dawned on me tonight that I hadn’t gotten around to it yet!

       

      Here’s what you can expect this week:

       

      * A pack from a modern American band that has had several songs released as RB content, including one song twice. Depressingly, this fits a number of artists.

      * A piano-centric pack for a classic band from Europe that was forced to change vocalist.

      * This British quartet’s single underwent a significant if often overlooked title change at their label’s hand. It was also featured in a plastic instrument game, previously.

      * The highest charting single from an American pop rock band who saw their second highest charting single released as official DLC.

      * This single, no doubt to the frustration of Alice Cooper, was one of several to quickly climb into the top three of the American rock music charts. It also has a name that seems like it would be far more suited to a crappy horror film or an adventure game. *checks Wikipedia* Oh. Both.

       

      These hints might be a little less subtle but we’ll let you take a shot at it.

      4th bullet point sounds like “Everybody Talks” by Neon Trees (comparing that song with “Animal,” featured as RB DLC and their second highest charting single).

       

      5th bullet point sounds like a Mumford & Sons song based off of the topical Alice Cooper reference.

      Title change, hm. “Paint it, Black”?

      #404529

      hmm for the 1st clue, shinedown maybe?

      #404538

      I guess the last one at ‘The Cave’ Mumford and Sons? In which case my gf is going to love me longtime.

       

      She loves em. Big time.

      If this is Shinedown then is the Shinedown song that got released twice Diamond Eyes from Rock Band Blitz since it got released for that game (and as such part of that export pack) and then as a separate DLC song?

      Pearl Jam? Alive was on Rock band 2 and Alive (Live: Drop in the Park) was on DLC.

        “The highest charting single from an American pop rock band who saw their second highest charting single released as official DLC.”

         

        Gotta be “Apologize” by OneRepublic.

        The only one I can think for the title change is ‘Paint It Black’, which became ‘Paint it, Black’ which is marred by the fact the Stones aren’t a quartet.

          Replace “quartet” with ‘foursome”, and pardon my haste typing the hints up and mis-using a word, because this artist isn’t actually a quartet.

          that’s the logic i was using.

          Since when is one Republic pop rock?

          Same could be said for A7X, but i was expecting them next week perhaps. Far as shinedown goes i’d love to get Unity! lol
