Hey, it’s been super busy for me (right after I made the last post in here, I started working 60 hour ish weeks which didn’t let up until February), so I haven’t been able to keep this thread quite up to date. While I’ll still be busy for a good while now, I’ll try to post at least a quarterly update in here to keep y’all up to date on any notable songs that have been released in the interims. Scroll down to the end of this post for the notable songs (which is my personal opinion plus general expectations, you may have your own)

Notable Releases
Devil Went Down To Georgia finally makes it’s appearance in Rock Band after being a 13 year exclusive to GH3, albeit it’s a cover by Nickelback. It just as challenging as the GH3 version, especially since this features a guest guitarist in Dave Martone.
Shot in the Dark by AC/DC marks AC/DC’s -first ever- appearance as actual DLC in the Rock Band series since their RB2 debut in 2008, with their only other songs being via exporting the AC/DC track pack disc. AC/DC ain’t for everyone, but it’s notable just for a big band finally coming around with a studio DLC release. It’s a typical song by the band, but solid.
Rollin’ (Air Raid Vehicle) is a song people never expected to make it to RB after it didn’t show up in the original LB releases, but it finally has! Embrace the memes of yesterday!
Take Me Home, Country Roads is the John Denver signature song and his debut in Rock Band. This is the original recording as well. This one will be a party favorite once those are a thing again.
The Bad Touch is the (mostly) one hit wonder from the 90s that most of us that were alive in the 90s remember. It amazingly makes it into the game MOSTLY unscathed for edits, which is impressive. Also, is it only now I realize how electronic this song was? I guess I mostly listened to it when it played on MTV via a TV instead of actual stereos.
Help, I’m Alive from Metric is Metric’s first ever DLC song for the game series, finally escaping the disc-only-RB3-song-band prison! I don’t listen to a lot of Metric but a notable pick for this reason, only took them a decade!
Superman by Goldfinger is THE Tony Hawk Pro Skater track! And now you can play this ska hit in the game, finally. It somehow even never made it into Guitar Hero. Wonder what changed.
As for the game itself, a big patch is expected soon. I’ll post an update in here whenever that lands.
