Look, someone actually had to point out that singing "solo" meant singing alone. This is why we allow people to work registers at McDonald's that can't make change and it makes me want to run my face under a belt sander. For the love of tits, how can you be on the internet in 2012 and not think "maybe I can Google this word I should have learned in first grade before making a thread about it".

It's too bad that they already used Free Bird for the RB3 disc

Can't say I'm surprised. When the Blitz weeks started coming in I sort of predicted this would happen. They've been especially tight lipped on the forums as well when asked about the future of DLC so we should have seen this coming.

What I'm curious is what HMX is working on. I know Dance Central, and maybe stuff for mobile, but I wonder what else they could be putting together and if it would appeal to the Rock Band crowd at all?

Also, I wonder if there are any bigger name artists who will turn to RBN to get their songs in the game, or if they'll avoid it seeing as it's only a matter of time until that gets shut down as well. Charting companies could see an increase in business maybe?

It's crazy to imagine having a final total number of official DLC songs. Some people should get together and try to do a marathon once it's all said and done, though at this point it would probably take longer than a week to play every song!

It will be so weird to have nothing to check on Friday mornings... that's become a staple of Fridays for so many of us I think

Cleared out a BIG chunk of my back log of "I want this song, but don't have the money." Pay day + favorable tax return = one big show of support. 75 songs today was the most I've ever taken out at one time, probably never will again, but this announcement left me stuck to think of what I could do to help them and feel better about myself.

Now I just need to find some new Rock Band guitars. Mine are dying faster than I thought, and the drums and singing only tide me over for so long.....

I kinda thought the death knell would be further down the line, but then again I'm not here nearly as frequently as I used to be.

But now...now the completionists can really have their day. I'm kind of expecting a bit of a resurgence , if only because the 'end' is here.

Well, the content may be going away, but I'm certainly not hanging up my plastic guitar yet.

Still got thousands of songs to master.

I just hope they keep the leaderboards operational until whatever this version of Xbox Live dies(much like how Xbox 1 live no longer works).

Anyhow, I would personally like them to toss in with one of the Blitz weeks sorted out rights to the missing older songs. Journey, Sabbath, Metallica...

I'm guessing the final song will be free, keyboard only: The Lonely man theme.

Dammit. I just got serious with Rock Band about 2 months ago. Fuck. Well, I guess I'll still have a bunch of DLC to go through. But seriously. Fuck

You know if HMX wanted to go to just releasing new dlc monthly, I would be perfectly happy with that but alas...

I feel bad for PS3 players, cause at least us 360 users have RBN, which I'll poke my head into every so often. Don't regularly see stuff I want there, but its nice to have, especially with official DLC being done. Strangely coincidental, but I've been playing RB3 the past two days out of nowhere, haven't felt like playing it much at all lately, but then just started to feel like getting back into it. Been playing some stuff I don't have starred in the game, now I'll probably start doing more of the challenges I never finished.

I should grab myself another guitar also. I only have my GHWOR guitar now.
