But really, it's funny how quickly they have another big pack. I feel like their last one was recent enough, not like it was last week or anything but hey, it must have sold well so HMX scrounged up another

Didn't the first Nickelback pack come out last summer sometime? Like, a solid year-and-half ago? I mean, not like I was clamoring for a second pack myself, but it's not like they just popped one out three months back or anything.

Is that the fastest turnaround from initial release to a non-launch Protar upgrade with Adventures of Rain Dance Maggie and By The Way?


Wonder if the latest RHCP sales were not what they'd hoped for.
Wouldn't they be better than they hoped for if they got 3 pro upgrades this fast?

Chances are, they were working on them and just couldn't get them out on release day.


"How You Remind Me" is an instant buy. I liked most of the last pack, so I might snag this one, even if I'm not a huge Nickleback fan. I've got nothing against them either. Will give the songs a listen.

Nickelback is under Roadrunner, perhaps after the positive reaction to the DT announcement Harmonix wanted to make it a Roadrunner pack 2. In exchange for a few more songs Harmonix agrees to help Nickelback push their new album with a pack.


Whatever people may think of Nickelback, I doubt HMX needs too much arm-twisting to put a 2nd pack out for them. I haven't checked rockbandscores but I assume the first one did pretty well.
I think only Lady Gaga sold better from that year, which is pretty good for a 6 pack.

Given that the Under the Bridge Pro Upgrade was leaked aaaaages ago, I suspect that there was a delay with finishing up the pro tracks more than anything else.

Well, By The Way will be the first song with a Pro Bass solo.

Now I dislike Nickelback as much as the next guy, but christ, does no one else think that people take it a bit too far with the hate? Sure, you don't like them. That doesn't make them some kind of plague on society.

Damn.


Pretty much. It's not like they're the worst famous band in the world, it's just that their well-known songs either sound very alike (see the various things on YouTube where they've put two of them side by side) or are extremely irritating for fairly obvious reasons (Rockstar, When We Stand Together, etc.). I can see why that might put people off but I'm not sure it justifies such hate.

But then, as I said in my first post, that guy's voice is the dealbreaker for me so it wouldn't make much difference if they were the greatest band in the world doing exactly the sort of music I love.

Yeah, while I don't like them, you can't call them the worst band in the world. I don't think people honestly believe they make the worst music ever. That's not what pisses people off about them. It's the insane level of success that goes with it. I think for most people who hate them, they just make boring, bland, uninspired music, and I get that. It's not my cup of tea either, but there's nothing new about bands making such music. But somehow, they manage to sell ridiculous amounts of albums on a regular basis. That's the part that dumbfounds their critics and inspires such rage.

I don't think it's so much the music per say (although it is some of the blandest stuff on the face of the earth) as much as their personality. Chad Kroeger is seen as being one of the biggest egotistical, self-righteous, douchebags in music history.

Which in the world of the overprivileged and overly large egos that is the mainstream music business, that's saying alot.

I doubt I'll get any of these songs except for Animals.

Not really gone, just sick of updating ScoreHero, really. Don't find it much fun. I still play though.

This is probably where my ignorance of most current events helps me. Outside of Durst, Prince, and possibly Lars, I haven't gotten that impression about most musicians beyond the normal "I'm a Rock Star, look at me" level of ego you'd expect.

Heck, I laughed at their "This Afternoon" video where the guy complains about "Nickleback? Couldn't you get anyone better?" or something like that.

Also, am I the only one who finds it funny that this gets announced just a couple of weeks after Detroit started a petition to dis-invite Nickelback from their thanksgiving day game as they'd consider it "an insult to the city of Detroit".

For the record, the petition got well over the required number of signatures, but the city's going through with it anyway.

I don't think that was a shot a nickleback, so much as a wtf? This is the home of Motown and plenty of kick ass rockers have come outta Detroit. They want one of their own, not Canucks playing generic crap.

Meh. I haven't grabbed DLC since May. Looks like that isn't changing anytime soon.
