Harmonix released a patch for Rock Band this week which allows you to export your RB1 songs to RB2. For $5, you can send 55 of the 58 songs from the RB1 disk onto your hard drive. The 3 songs missing? They’re good ones.
- “Enter Sandman” by Metallica
- “Paranoid” by Black Sabbath (cover)
- “Run to the Hills” by Iron Maiden (cover)
- “Monsoon” by Tokio Hotel (a DLC song from the European disc)
I play Enter Sandman and Run to the Hills a lot on drums. I guess I’d probably move on with Rock Band 2 coming, but it’s sad to see them not make it over. I’m sure the reason for Metallica not making it is the deal they have with Activision for Guitar Hero. But Run to the Hills and Paranoid? No idea. Hopefully real versions make it to Rock Band 2 so these covers become pointless.
Am i the only one truely offended by this? I mean i love the cheaper rock band tracks and all that jazz but let me get this straight. They want 5 bucks to ALLOW me the right to take imformation i already own (game content) and transfer it to a hard drive? Bah humbug i say . I was all kinda jazzed about backwards compatability but they shoulda said up front that it would cost money. And yeah its only 5 bucks and im sure as hell going to pay it …. i dont know im already not half as pissed as i was when i started typing this. lol
They have Tokio Hotel songs, now I wanna see some Jrock songs.
