When rock band 3 ended with American pie, we never thought rock band 4 would have ever happened. But on October 6th 2015, we were gifted with rock band 4. We never thought we would get another one. Hell I'm sure we would've been happy with more DLC for 3. But 9 years later, and hundreds, if not thousands of songs later for 4, all I can say is I'm thankful for the final journey we got. Rivals was a blessing. I've met some amazing people, and I've been apart of the greatest crew ever. More like a family to me. And honestly, how much rockband has helped my mental health. I could just escape to rockband and listen and play along to music i loved, and it always put me back in a good place. But it is the end of an Era, and the end for rockband. I don't think 5 will happen, being real. However, I'm very grateful for what we got and how long we got it for. And I hope you all are as well. So as we take this final goodbye together, let's be grateful and not take for granted what rockband has given us. The friends we made, the enjoyment it gave us, and the crews and band mates we played with throughout the years. Thank you for everything rockband. I am forever grateful.
I remember when "I Still Believe" dropped out of nowhere, was like a bolt of electricity. Thank you Harmonix and Rock Band! (In the meantime, I'll still be entering my solo act in challenges and muddling my way to the gold or maybe even platinum tier. See y'all around!)
As far as I know, before the announcement of Rock Band 4 in Rock Band 3, they released surprise Dlcs in 2015 that were from: Avenged Sevenfold, Arctic Monkeys and others.
@@djyohan4786 I Still Believe opened that act, and it was free! I think Harmonix later explained that it was a way to test the DLC release pipelines before the announcement and subsquent launch of RB4.
My Sweet ed. and truly best friend for life, and that's for life. So thankful and grateful to Rb and for you. if it wasn't for the game id never ever found my best friend. I'm truthfully grateful every day for that. whenever this game ever does end, ill still have you in my life no matter what. Thanks to you to all these years, and making this journey a wonderful one. we did all together as a family. Best thing ever happened, was day you joined. i will forever be grateful you every single day. thanks for everything, my best friend Ed! We will continue, moving forward, day after day, as always, nothing changing, for us. will keep moving forward as always.
And there's the end of the Rock Band series 2007 up to 2024, almost 17 years of rock band content. Thank you, Harmonix, for all the memories you pull by making all the Rock Band games and DLCs
It’s more like the end of the American AAA(and it’s debatable whether rock band 4 is even AAA it is closer to an indie game than a AAA game) rhythm game scene since guitar hero already died years ago I am aware that Japan’s rhythm games still exist and that American devs are still making rhythm games as well but most of those are indie developers not that there’s anything wrong with indie developers(in fact Harmonix themselves were indie for a decade before being acquired by epic games) and harmonix themselves are making fortnite festival but guitar hero and rock band were the two bigwigs and both of them are gone now and while they could still come back some day it’s unlikely they will anytime soon so it truly is the end of mainstream plastic guitar games(though ofc guitar hero and rock bands legacy lives on in clone hero and fortnite festival and also yarg) but it’s still sad
And lastly I will miss Harmonix yes there still working on fortnite festival but it seems they won’t be working on their own IPs like rock band dance central amplitude or fuser anymore and that makes me sad
@@m8xm153n8r Honestly, I'd settle for a game that plays like Blitz, but still lets us create avatars and watch them perform; just as long as its customization is more like the previous games.
@@m8xm153n8r It'd be better than nothing. Besides, it would be difficult to convince the manufacturers to make more of those instruments. The demand is just not high enough, nor is their value. Believe me, I would love it if current consoles and PCs could get a new Rock Band game - with new instruments and older instrument support, but I'm sorry to say that I just can't see it happening.
Let's hope "Era" as you mentioned in your official post is just a temporary break before the next installment. Thank you for 15 years of a phenomenal game.
@@SwiftyStardustyou never know what's around the corner. Maybe build up a new generation of Rhythm gamers with Fortnite, then see if the market would buy another Rock Band. Remember, unless you were in your late teens or later when Rock Band first came out then that was the only chance you stood at exporting like I did
@@SolidSonicTH could very well be but I'm happy to keep going with the game since I have all exports on my PSN Account. Let's continue on with our lives and if a new installment comes it comes, if not we have a life to live
@@SolidSonicTH Both of the 2 original Rocksmiths are dead with their DLC's being delisted and Plus is not that intriguing. While CH is CH, ill just take Yarg or anything else over it.
Goodbye Rock Band. You were the best game in my childhood, heck even ever. I’ve been playing since 2 and let me tell you, I’ve been playing ever since. So please remember, I will never forget you as one of the best rhythm games ever. ROCK ON ❤
Thank you, Rock Band. For being the game that helped me through hard times and pissed me off a lot but I still came out loving it in the end haha. It’s been an honour.
Man, they weren't kidding about these being emotional. When they released "American Pie" as the last DLC song for Rock Band 3, I wasn't really aware of the emotion it held. I knew the significance but didn't feel that emotional from it. But this trio... this definitely did me in a lot more. While I don't think anyone expected Rock Band 4 and it was an amazing surprise, I genuinely do not envision us getting a Rock Band 5. But we'll see. If Fortnite Festival takes off (which right now... doesn't seem likely, unless they do a lot of changes), I could see that breathing life into the music game genre for the general audience, and maybe capitalizing on that would be a good idea. But I don't see it happening :( Thank you, Rock Band, for so many years and countless hours of amazingly fun collaborative gameplay with friends, addictive high score chasing, and helping me discover and rediscover innumerable bands thanks to highlighting them in your games. All the Rock Band games have been stellar, but Rock Band 4 is your masterpiece. Thank you, Harmonix.
I rarely write comments on videos, but I feel I have to with this. This series has been with me since I was only 12, turning 30 this year and expecting my first child, this game has been through my lowest points in life to my highest and I couldnt be any more grateful to this series than I am right now. Thank you rock band, thanks for the memories and friendships made along the way, cheers to you Harmonix ❤️❤️
Thank you guys for everything! Can't wait to see what the future holds for you guys. I'd love to see the rest of the rewind tracks at the very least. But I know you guys are onto bigger and better things. Again....in the words of Dido from this weeks DLC.... Thank You
Over 16 years, we were all chasing to be Highway Stars, saying Hello There to an incredible community of players, Breaking On Through To The Other Side of rhythm gaming, and now saying Thank You. Thank you, Harmonix, for creating an unmatched series of games that shaped my taste in music and brought together so many people to rock out in ways nobody saw coming. If this truly is the end of Rock Band, then I’d say it’s a good note to end on: a reminder that we shouldn’t be mad that it’s over, but be grateful a game series like this ever even happened in the first place!
Despite the horrendous launch of RB4, it ended up being alright in the end. Tons of FCs and memories with this game. Meeting cool people and getting to carry over my dlc to the next generation was awesome. If you guys do decide to make an RB5, please do it justice. Farewell RB4.
@@gopiratexiii6256 But the point is Epic Games bought Rock Band and used their assets to make a rythym game of their own, so here soon fortnite festival will practically replace any possiblility of a 5th game.
Thank you Harmonix. I appreciate all of the hard work you've all done! My life literally wouldn't be the same today had I never bought RB back in 2007. I legit learned how to play the drums from this game, and it has introduced me to hundreds of songs and bands that I never would have heard. I honestly didn't play any other game on my PS4, and it's still the only game I've played on my PS5.
I cried a little. I'm so going to miss seeing these videos posted to YT, hearing the new songs to buy and look forward to playing. This is just a little bit heartbreaking.
A sincere and heartfelt thank you Rock Band 4! You have given me and my family so many years of fond memories, cheers, tears, laughter and love. You will be missed
Farewell to more Rock Band DLC. What an absolutely incredible run. Nobody else could have done it like you. Thank you, Harmonix. We'll go wherever you will go.
Thank You Harmonix, for fifteen years of great memories of friends gathering for rhythm game parties and karaoke nights. If Rock Band 5 is in the future, we'll go Wherever You Will Go, even if it's VR or a metaverse or whatever our tech overlords are working on. What a great trio of songs to Send Me On My Way, time to invite everyone over to belt these songs out. I'm not crying, we're all crying.
Lego rock band and rock band 3 were some of the most fun games of my childhood, playing guitar and keyboard created so many memories. Thank you rock band for years of great content! I won’t cry because its over, I’ll smile because it happened
Not what I expected for the finale but honestly, really good choices. All the same, thanks for over 15 years of DLC - you guys have shaped my music tastes ever since I picked up LEGO Rock Band in 2010 and I’m definitely looking forward to what y’all have got cooking up in Festival!
Don’t worry guys, even if the DLC song releases have ended, we can still play customs of other songs that could’ve been in Rock Band in the first place. Most Rock Band players may have been gone, but I’ll still be around playing Rock Band 2 everyday. Thanks Harmonix, for including RBN Network to allow us to chart our own songs or song choices, we’ll never forget that moment to make custom songs to still play up to this day. Emulators will still give access to Rock Band games without the consoles, people. If you have a computer that can run emulated games well enough to deal with, it’s a life saver until you can afford a console and other instruments one day. Rock on, Rock Band fans! 🎸🎤🥁🤘🏼
Or just play Clone Hero or better yet YARG if you want want RB experience over a GH one. It includes all instruments including pro and vocals + harmonies. Pro instruments will be re added back in at some point but Pro Guitar and Bass was in v11 so if you must have pro support you will need to play v11. V12 and 12.1 have Pro drums support only currently so no Pro Guitar, Bass, or Midi
@@silverwolflee6978 True, but you can emulate the old Rock Band games for free anyway. If you can’t purchase a disc for it to rip from, you can just find the vanilla RB2 ISO file online and download it if you have a computer that can run it good enough for you. No need to play YARG if you still want old Rock Band action in the future, like I’m doing.
I never had a single RB game, but I have faithfully followed every single DLC for the past 7 years or so through gameplays. Since I love to sing the lyrics correctly, I've been learning through these DLCs the official lyrics to those songs that most of the lyrics websites never had the effort to write them correctly. Thank you for your effort and care to isolate every single instrument from all those songs and to insert the correct lyrics, you guys are the best. Greeting from Brazil!
My best friend got me into gh/rb. His fav song was SMOMW, and when he passed I played that song for weeks straight. Very fitting to say goodbye to rock band in such a way. Plus who DOESNT love Thank You by Dido?!
I see everyone else outpouring about rock band, and I will say rock band changed my life too. Some of my life long friends I've bonded with forever over rock band. I started playing when I was 15 and 17 years later I still play with my hundreds of dlc songs from over the years. Thank you so much harmonix, I truly hope a rock band 5 is on the horizon one day so I can share with my son these memories with his friends, though rock band 4 will hopefully serve just as well.
Thank you for all these years, Rock Band and Harmonix. As recently as last week I had some incredible times with some local Rock Band multiplayer, and I found what is now one of my absolute best friends because we started playing together, that was as recently as last summer.
Thank you for everything Rock Band, for completing my teenage years, i always remember the day when i first played RB1.. a fully enjoyable moment, it changed my life getting to know good music and i wanted the Special Bundle so bad! Thank you so much HMX for making this awesome franchise and for the dlc.
Thank you. This is incredibile. What a blast of last week this is. I'll continue buying old dlc and playing online and having incredibile rock band parties. Thank you harmonix for the last 15 or so years.
Rock Band was the first ever rhythm game I ever touched. I remember having family game night on this series. We started on Rock Band 2 then we got Rock Band 3 along with Rock Band 1 so we had the full trilligy. Then Rock Band 4 came out, but I was the only one in my family that was still interested in playing the game series haha. Man, if only these games were available on PC. Especially Rock Band 4. Thank you Rock Band for bringing my family together!
I havent been able to play in years due to broken instruments but this game was such a major part of my life growing up. I remember walking up tonthe mall on my lunch break (i was cyber schooled)to get my preordered copy of Rock Band 3, finally having my own game and not just bumming off my friends. Thank you for all youve done over the years, guys. It meant the world to me.
15 years, over 1000 DLC songs purchased, playing The Beatles Rock Band with the whole family, playing with friends.... Rock Band and it's updates, DLC, rivals campaign and weekly challenges was a part of the best years of my life! Thank you Harmonix. Will be waiting patiently for Rock Band 5 and ready to preorder the full band kit. :)
It took me 2 days to comment because I genuinely needed to grapple with this fact. I'm only commenting under the hopes Rock Band 5 is coming soon. Thanks for everything. You guys got me through homework breaks in college & breakups in high school. Rock on & cheers.
Been a fan since Rock Band 1 in 2007, and I am STILL a proud Rock Band player, be it only vocals but seriously in love with this franchise!!! Thank you Harmonix for the many wonderful years of music and fun gameplay to keep my spirits up and warm my heart. I hope to see you again in Rock Band 5 if that ever comes to pass. ❤🎤😭🤘
Thank you, Harmonix❤️ I will never forget the day my parents brought in Rock Band back in 2007. We all have consistently played since and Rock Band has created a bond that I will forever cherish. Taught me how to play drums. Thank you for all the memories I forever will admire❤️
Thank you for all the fun, the memories and the drunken laughs (that make us think we can sing better than we actually can). One of my favorite game series of all time!
I still cant believe that this is the final DLC pack. My nephews were babys when I started playing this and now they're in middle school, whenever they come over they bum me to bring my Rock Band stuff up.
Great enders. RB4 was practically a bday gift (oct13) from my brother when he was still working at Madcatz at release. I never realized The Calling and Dido never made it in until now.
Been playing since the original in 2008. I knew this day would come sooner or later, but it doesn’t make it any less depressing. I truly hope there is a Rock Band 5 in the future, but I know that's extremely unlikely. Either way, thank you for 15+ years of great games, Harmonix.
Been here from the get go. From top to bottom and I don't regret a moment. I had a blast streaming this game and bringing people together remembering the music they love. Least you went out on a high note and I only wish the team the best going forward. I'll be playing Festival but it'll never be the same feeling as it was booting up one of these many games, kicking around with some energy drinks, some snacks and some good friends. Thanks Rockband, really. Game or not you did a lot of good for a lot of peoples get togethers, friendships and late nights.
I want to thank you. For giving me the best moments of my life. Rock Band was such an important part of my life and while it’s sad it’s coming to an end. Thank you for all the incredible times.
Thank you so much, Harmonix, for all your work. The years of hard work supporting such a great game do not go unnoticed. Best of luck in your new endeavors.
I normally don't comment on videos but I'll make an exception here. Rock Band changed my life, it made me explore music and push me to challenge myself. I started a band with my friends from school more than 12 years ago and now we about to release our second LP. I wouldn't even have thought about it if it wasn't for this game. Thank you, everyone involved in making this happen
Thanks for everything, Harmonix. You literally changed my life and I will always treasure all the beautiful memories I made with friends and family throughout the years. I still play Rock Band occasionally and I'll keep doing it for as long as I can, and by that I mean as long as my instruments don't die (Fortnite Festival instruments, I'm looking at you). If there's a will, there's a way. Once again thank you so much for everything, much love to everyone at Harmonix for rocking and keeping the dream alive!
Thank you, Harmonix. You provided years of fun and entertainment. Not only did you help me fall in love with drumming again, you helped me discover new art that made me fall in love with music, again.
I was so excited when I picked up the 1st rock band game ( band in a box edition). The amount of fun times I had with friends playing that game and the amount of dlc I obtained through the years, now aged 31, me and my wife, so play it on friday nights together. Thanks again, hamonix, for the good times. Hopefully, see you again in 5.
Thanks for everything Harmonix. I wasn't the kindest to you when the entitlement issues were happening at Rock Band 4's launch, but you all remained gracious and dedicated all the same. Thanks for the joy you brought me. I hope this isn't the end, but if it is, it was a beautiful ride
Rock Band has been such a great part of my gaming life. I remember playing it with friends when my wife was pregnant with our first child back in 2008, and now we play it with my two kids over a decade later. Pretty amazing! You guys rock, and I wish you all the best in your future endeavors. In the meantime, I'm going to dread the day my Rock Band peripherals stop working!
Truly the end of an era (kind of). I'm now very very happy indeed to have a working Guitar Hero controller again after my other broke years ago and I'm now having so much fun finally playing through all these great games and songs again. I bought Rock Band 4 in the hope of one day doing just that and I'm still to play that and purchase a load of that era's DLC after I found my controller will also work on the PS4!! As a massive music fan and collector, Rock Band and Guitar Hero have introduced me to so much amazing stuff, so thank you SO so much for everything Harmonix!! Thank you for starting so many bands and rocking so many worlds! 😀
Just wanted to come here and say thank you to Harmonix. What a crazy almost 2 decades it’s been. I remember playing RB1 for the first time and being hooked. Then RB2 took it to a new level. Then RB3 said hold my beer. And we thought it was over. Then rolls in 2015 and we get hit with RB4 and the next gen. Wow I was hyped at the time. I had just moved down to south jersey to get away from the toxicity of north jersey and didn’t have any friends here yet and this dropped at the perfect time. I ran to GameStop to pick it up during the holiday season. Played it for like 5 hours that Christmas. Been playing it ever since. Went out and bought a legit electronic drum set just for the hype. Then went and bought the adapter for ps4 for a high price and have babied it ever since cause nobody else has them anymore. I imported all the RB1, 2 and 3 tracks over with the export key and have bought over 500 songs. When I tell you this game means a lot to me I don’t kid. I will miss new songs coming out and I hope somewhere we get RB5 for the new gen consoles and get to relive the hype all over again. Still waiting for that alter bridge-metalingus that I’m probably never gonna see but one can dream lol. Hopefully it’s not good bye and just a see you later
Muchas Gracias por todo, espero este no sea el final y más bien sea el inicio de una nueva época, fueron tantos momentos de alegría y seguirán ya que hay un amplio contenido de canciones, pero confío plenamente que algún día este tipo de videojuegos van a regresar donde pagues una especie de suscripción para tener acceso a los repertorios.
I remember getting my first drum kit on RB1, if that never happened, I don't think I'd ever be the drummer (not main hobby) that I am today. Thank you for the last 16 years of entertainment and dedication!
It was amazing to be part of such a passionate community. I will continue playing this game until my hands fall off. Ride into the beautiful sun, my darling!
Harmonix, I would like to thank you for all the Rock Band & Rock Band Network DLC you have given the world over the last 17 years. I was introduced to Rock Band/Guitar Hero back in Christmas 2009 when I was 12 and it soundtracked my teenage years. I played it mainly for the difficult songs like DragonForce and Chaotrope. and long songs like "Sir Psycho Sexy" (Damn censorship) and "Do You Feel Like We Do (Live)". I still play Rock Band 3 but for custom songs from acts that will now never get DLC like Guns n Roses, Michael Jackson etc. One hopes that there will be a Rock Band 5 but if it is the last ever DLC for the Rock Band series; Thank You; and as a popular cartoon character would say in the end; "Th-th-that's all, folks!"
It’s been a great and unforgettable run, gonna be so weird not waiting for new dlc on Tuesday anymore 😦. My friend got me into this game and it has changed my life ever since, not to mention I’ve met so many talented and friendly players in the community, will always be thankful for everything. ❤️
Rock band you have made me so diverse in music and I appreciate all the hard work that this company put in over the years. Thank you for all the amazing memories!
Goodbye, Rock Band 4. Been playing since launch day, it's so sad to lose you. Please be done with this Fortnite thing soon and come back to a real rhythm game. It's not the same.
@@Groudon0199 a full-featured rock band sequel clone hero and yarg do everything rock band 4 does, for example, but they're missing the trappings of a rock band game progression, character creation, story mode, all the instruments, unique modes, play a show, etc.
Bittersweet. So bittersweet. Only recently was able to get back into Rock Band and decided to get mt group of friends together for my birthday to all play. Hadn't had moments like that in quite a long time. But even many years after release we were all able to make some great memories for a life time. While i sadly still haven't got to play rock band 4, thank you Harmonix for everything. My rock band 3 is filled upon filled with songs and hopefully one day soon ill be able to get RB4 before its to late. Im not crying you are, please make Rock Band 5 someday. Fortnite Festival just isnt the same. Much love ❤
Without the influence of Guitar Hero or Rock Band when I was 10 years old I wouldn't have developed my own taste in music, and for that I will forever be grateful with Harmonix. If Rock Band 5 happens sometime in the future, I Will Follow. Long live the King of rock and the king of rythm games!
Farewell for now. Perhaps some day in the future we'll see a new era of Rock Band. I've been along for the ride since 2009, starting with The Beatles RB. Even though I haven't played much at all the last few years due to Rivals burnout/health issues, just wanted to stop in here to say thank you for all the memories. Wish you'd have played on PlayStation for your streams more than just a few times, but at least I got to join in once..
Rock Band changed my life. Thank you for 15 years of DLC!
Fancy seeing you here lol
I thought guitar hero did 🤨
Good to see you here. This franchise was lit.
Dont worry Acai, we have Rock Band 3 Deluxe anyway 🤘🏻🎸

I will always love plastic instruments for the rest of my life

Man, they weren't kidding about these being emotional. When they released "American Pie" as the last DLC song for Rock Band 3, I wasn't really aware of the emotion it held. I knew the significance but didn't feel that emotional from it. But this trio... this definitely did me in a lot more.
While I don't think anyone expected Rock Band 4 and it was an amazing surprise, I genuinely do not envision us getting a Rock Band 5. But we'll see. If Fortnite Festival takes off (which right now... doesn't seem likely, unless they do a lot of changes), I could see that breathing life into the music game genre for the general audience, and maybe capitalizing on that would be a good idea. But I don't see it happening :(
Thank you, Rock Band, for so many years and countless hours of amazingly fun collaborative gameplay with friends, addictive high score chasing, and helping me discover and rediscover innumerable bands thanks to highlighting them in your games. All the Rock Band games have been stellar, but Rock Band 4 is your masterpiece.
Thank you, Harmonix.
I rarely write comments on videos, but I feel I have to with this. This series has been with me since I was only 12, turning 30 this year and expecting my first child, this game has been through my lowest points in life to my highest and I couldnt be any more grateful to this series than I am right now. Thank you rock band, thanks for the memories and friendships made along the way, cheers to you Harmonix ❤️❤️
The last song for Rock Band 4 couldn’t be more fitting. From all of us in the Rock Band community, Thank You.
Thank you guys for everything! Can't wait to see what the future holds for you guys.
I'd love to see the rest of the rewind tracks at the very least. But I know you guys are onto bigger and better things. Again....in the words of Dido from this weeks DLC.... Thank You
I'm so glad they actually got "Thank You" by Dido, but man does it feel bittersweet that it's literally the last RB4 DLC song being released.
I'm not ready for it to end! Love Rock Band and I hope we can get guitar, drum, and mic support for Fortnite soon! Thanks for everything, Harmonix!
Over 16 years, we were all chasing to be Highway Stars, saying Hello There to an incredible community of players, Breaking On Through To The Other Side of rhythm gaming, and now saying Thank You. Thank you, Harmonix, for creating an unmatched series of games that shaped my taste in music and brought together so many people to rock out in ways nobody saw coming. If this truly is the end of Rock Band, then I’d say it’s a good note to end on: a reminder that we shouldn’t be mad that it’s over, but be grateful a game series like this ever even happened in the first place!
I love all 3 songs. I’m sad that the dlc is ending
gonna miss seeing your comments, Freddy!
Thanks
Despite the horrendous launch of RB4, it ended up being alright in the end. Tons of FCs and memories with this game. Meeting cool people and getting to carry over my dlc to the next generation was awesome. If you guys do decide to make an RB5, please do it justice. Farewell RB4.
fortnite festival is basically rock band 5 if rock band played like crap and had overpriced songs
@@dizzyndeadFortnite festival is not a rock band game. Its different
@@gopiratexiii6256 But the point is Epic Games bought Rock Band and used their assets to make a rythym game of their own, so here soon fortnite festival will practically replace any possiblility of a 5th game.
It has been a true pleasure all these years of DLC! Love you all and THANK YOU for the great memories! ❤
Thank you Harmonix. I appreciate all of the hard work you've all done! My life literally wouldn't be the same today had I never bought RB back in 2007. I legit learned how to play the drums from this game, and it has introduced me to hundreds of songs and bands that I never would have heard.
I honestly didn't play any other game on my PS4, and it's still the only game I've played on my PS5.
I cried a little. I'm so going to miss seeing these videos posted to YT, hearing the new songs to buy and look forward to playing. This is just a little bit heartbreaking.
A sincere and heartfelt thank you Rock Band 4!
You have given me and my family so many years of fond memories, cheers, tears, laughter and love.
You will be missed
Farewell to more Rock Band DLC. What an absolutely incredible run. Nobody else could have done it like you.
Thank you, Harmonix. We'll go wherever you will go.
So long, Harmonix, thanks for this 15 years of DLCs
Thank You Harmonix, for fifteen years of great memories of friends gathering for rhythm game parties and karaoke nights. If Rock Band 5 is in the future, we'll go Wherever You Will Go, even if it's VR or a metaverse or whatever our tech overlords are working on. What a great trio of songs to Send Me On My Way, time to invite everyone over to belt these songs out. I'm not crying, we're all crying.
Thank you Rock Band 4 for all the memories and all the DLC. ❤️
Lego rock band and rock band 3 were some of the most fun games of my childhood, playing guitar and keyboard created so many memories. Thank you rock band for years of great content! I won’t cry because its over, I’ll smile because it happened
I have been waiting for “Wherever You Will Go” for a long time. These three songs make the best farewell to RB4 DLC.
Thank you so much Harmonix for such an incredible run and an unfathomable library of songs. Kudos.
Not what I expected for the finale but honestly, really good choices. All the same, thanks for over 15 years of DLC - you guys have shaped my music tastes ever since I picked up LEGO Rock Band in 2010 and I’m definitely looking forward to what y’all have got cooking up in Festival!
And, still bummed.... Getting easier, but yeah, we miss you RB....
Don’t worry guys, even if the DLC song releases have ended, we can still play customs of other songs that could’ve been in Rock Band in the first place. Most Rock Band players may have been gone, but I’ll still be around playing Rock Band 2 everyday. Thanks Harmonix, for including RBN Network to allow us to chart our own songs or song choices, we’ll never forget that moment to make custom songs to still play up to this day. Emulators will still give access to Rock Band games without the consoles, people. If you have a computer that can run emulated games well enough to deal with, it’s a life saver until you can afford a console and other instruments one day. Rock on, Rock Band fans! 🎸🎤🥁🤘🏼
Or just play Clone Hero or better yet YARG if you want want RB experience over a GH one. It includes all instruments including pro and vocals + harmonies. Pro instruments will be re added back in at some point but Pro Guitar and Bass was in v11 so if you must have pro support you will need to play v11. V12 and 12.1 have Pro drums support only currently so no Pro Guitar, Bass, or Midi
@@silverwolflee6978 True, but you can emulate the old Rock Band games for free anyway. If you can’t purchase a disc for it to rip from, you can just find the vanilla RB2 ISO file online and download it if you have a computer that can run it good enough for you. No need to play YARG if you still want old Rock Band action in the future, like I’m doing.
I never had a single RB game, but I have faithfully followed every single DLC for the past 7 years or so through gameplays. Since I love to sing the lyrics correctly, I've been learning through these DLCs the official lyrics to those songs that most of the lyrics websites never had the effort to write them correctly. Thank you for your effort and care to isolate every single instrument from all those songs and to insert the correct lyrics, you guys are the best. Greeting from Brazil!
You should give it a try, even if you haven’t played it before! Rock Band 2 is a good game to start with. 😉
Thanks for everything, Rock Band! I can literally play the drums now thanks to this game. I hope we can meet again one day.
My best friend got me into gh/rb. His fav song was SMOMW, and when he passed I played that song for weeks straight. Very fitting to say goodbye to rock band in such a way. Plus who DOESNT love Thank You by Dido?!
Thank you Harmonix for supporting this game long after it came out. So many great memories! Hope rock band 5 isn't too far away!
End of an era. Rock band truly changed my life. My channel wouldn't exist without it. Thank you HMX!
I see everyone else outpouring about rock band, and I will say rock band changed my life too. Some of my life long friends I've bonded with forever over rock band. I started playing when I was 15 and 17 years later I still play with my hundreds of dlc songs from over the years. Thank you so much harmonix, I truly hope a rock band 5 is on the horizon one day so I can share with my son these memories with his friends, though rock band 4 will hopefully serve just as well.
Holy shit this is an amazing final week. We had shit for so long, but this is a great finale
Thank you for all these years, Rock Band and Harmonix. As recently as last week I had some incredible times with some local Rock Band multiplayer, and I found what is now one of my absolute best friends because we started playing together, that was as recently as last summer.
Thank you for everything Rock Band, for completing my teenage years, i always remember the day when i first played RB1.. a fully enjoyable moment, it changed my life getting to know good music and i wanted the Special Bundle so bad! Thank you so much HMX for making this awesome franchise and for the dlc.
Thank you. This is incredibile. What a blast of last week this is.
I'll continue buying old dlc and playing online and having incredibile rock band parties. Thank you harmonix for the last 15 or so years.
Rock Band was the first ever rhythm game I ever touched. I remember having family game night on this series. We started on Rock Band 2 then we got Rock Band 3 along with Rock Band 1 so we had the full trilligy. Then Rock Band 4 came out, but I was the only one in my family that was still interested in playing the game series haha. Man, if only these games were available on PC. Especially Rock Band 4.
Thank you Rock Band for bringing my family together!
I havent been able to play in years due to broken instruments but this game was such a major part of my life growing up. I remember walking up tonthe mall on my lunch break (i was cyber schooled)to get my preordered copy of Rock Band 3, finally having my own game and not just bumming off my friends.
Thank you for all youve done over the years, guys. It meant the world to me.
15 years, over 1000 DLC songs purchased, playing The Beatles Rock Band with the whole family, playing with friends....
Rock Band and it's updates, DLC, rivals campaign and weekly challenges was a part of the best years of my life!
Thank you Harmonix.
Will be waiting patiently for Rock Band 5 and ready to preorder the full band kit. :)
It took me 2 days to comment because I genuinely needed to grapple with this fact.
I'm only commenting under the hopes Rock Band 5 is coming soon.
Thanks for everything. You guys got me through homework breaks in college & breakups in high school. Rock on & cheers.
Been a fan since Rock Band 1 in 2007, and I am STILL a proud Rock Band player, be it only vocals but seriously in love with this franchise!!! Thank you Harmonix for the many wonderful years of music and fun gameplay to keep my spirits up and warm my heart. I hope to see you again in Rock Band 5 if that ever comes to pass. ❤🎤😭🤘
Thank you, Harmonix❤️ I will never forget the day my parents brought in Rock Band back in 2007. We all have consistently played since and Rock Band has created a bond that I will forever cherish. Taught me how to play drums. Thank you for all the memories I forever will admire❤️
Thank you for all the fun, the memories and the drunken laughs (that make us think we can sing better than we actually can). One of my favorite game series of all time!
I still cant believe that this is the final DLC pack. My nephews were babys when I started playing this and now they're in middle school, whenever they come over they bum me to bring my Rock Band stuff up.
Great enders. RB4 was practically a bday gift (oct13) from my brother when he was still working at Madcatz at release. I never realized The Calling and Dido never made it in until now.
Rock Band is and has been the best game ever.... Thank you all.
Been playing since the original in 2008. I knew this day would come sooner or later, but it doesn’t make it any less depressing. I truly hope there is a Rock Band 5 in the future, but I know that's extremely unlikely. Either way, thank you for 15+ years of great games, Harmonix.
Been here from the get go. From top to bottom and I don't regret a moment. I had a blast streaming this game and bringing people together remembering the music they love. Least you went out on a high note and I only wish the team the best going forward. I'll be playing Festival but it'll never be the same feeling as it was booting up one of these many games, kicking around with some energy drinks, some snacks and some good friends. Thanks Rockband, really. Game or not you did a lot of good for a lot of peoples get togethers, friendships and late nights.
I want to thank you. For giving me the best moments of my life. Rock Band was such an important part of my life and while it’s sad it’s coming to an end. Thank you for all the incredible times.
Thanks for the memories, Rock Band. You continued to carry on for years and years. Hope to see you again.
Thank you so much, Harmonix, for all your work. The years of hard work supporting such a great game do not go unnoticed. Best of luck in your new endeavors.
I normally don't comment on videos but I'll make an exception here. Rock Band changed my life, it made me explore music and push me to challenge myself. I started a band with my friends from school more than 12 years ago and now we about to release our second LP. I wouldn't even have thought about it if it wasn't for this game.
Thank you, everyone involved in making this happen
Thanks for everything, Harmonix. You literally changed my life and I will always treasure all the beautiful memories I made with friends and family throughout the years. I still play Rock Band occasionally and I'll keep doing it for as long as I can, and by that I mean as long as my instruments don't die (Fortnite Festival instruments, I'm looking at you). If there's a will, there's a way.
Once again thank you so much for everything, much love to everyone at Harmonix for rocking and keeping the dream alive!
Thank you, Harmonix. You provided years of fun and entertainment. Not only did you help me fall in love with drumming again, you helped me discover new art that made me fall in love with music, again.
Thank you for everything Harmonix
Thanks for all the tunes guys, gals, and pals. Much love.
We all love rock band thank you so much for all the dlc
Thank you Rock Band and Please don't leave. I hope it's not goodbye I hope it's see you later.
I was so excited when I picked up the 1st rock band game ( band in a box edition). The amount of fun times I had with friends playing that game and the amount of dlc I obtained through the years, now aged 31, me and my wife, so play it on friday nights together. Thanks again, hamonix, for the good times. Hopefully, see you again in 5.
Thanks for everything Harmonix. I wasn't the kindest to you when the entitlement issues were happening at Rock Band 4's launch, but you all remained gracious and dedicated all the same. Thanks for the joy you brought me. I hope this isn't the end, but if it is, it was a beautiful ride
I'm definitely not crying. Thank you guys for everything you all poured into this game over the years. It never went unnoticed.
My first Tuesday in a long while with no uploaded content.... It is not "goodbye" it is "see you soon.....We hope..."
Rock Band has been such a great part of my gaming life. I remember playing it with friends when my wife was pregnant with our first child back in 2008, and now we play it with my two kids over a decade later. Pretty amazing! You guys rock, and I wish you all the best in your future endeavors. In the meantime, I'm going to dread the day my Rock Band peripherals stop working!
Thank you Harmonix for giving me such great memories with friends, family, and solo. Let’s rock on to the next project 🤘
Truly the end of an era (kind of).
I'm now very very happy indeed to have a working Guitar Hero controller again after my other broke years ago and I'm now having so much fun finally playing through all these great games and songs again. I bought Rock Band 4 in the hope of one day doing just that and I'm still to play that and purchase a load of that era's DLC after I found my controller will also work on the PS4!!
As a massive music fan and collector, Rock Band and Guitar Hero have introduced me to so much amazing stuff, so thank you SO so much for everything Harmonix!! Thank you for starting so many bands and rocking so many worlds! 😀
thank you Rock Band, for still being the reason I'm alive today!
Just wanted to come here and say thank you to Harmonix. What a crazy almost 2 decades it’s been. I remember playing RB1 for the first time and being hooked. Then RB2 took it to a new level. Then RB3 said hold my beer. And we thought it was over. Then rolls in 2015 and we get hit with RB4 and the next gen. Wow I was hyped at the time. I had just moved down to south jersey to get away from the toxicity of north jersey and didn’t have any friends here yet and this dropped at the perfect time. I ran to GameStop to pick it up during the holiday season. Played it for like 5 hours that Christmas. Been playing it ever since. Went out and bought a legit electronic drum set just for the hype. Then went and bought the adapter for ps4 for a high price and have babied it ever since cause nobody else has them anymore. I imported all the RB1, 2 and 3 tracks over with the export key and have bought over 500 songs. When I tell you this game means a lot to me I don’t kid. I will miss new songs coming out and I hope somewhere we get RB5 for the new gen consoles and get to relive the hype all over again. Still waiting for that alter bridge-metalingus that I’m probably never gonna see but one can dream lol. Hopefully it’s not good bye and just a see you later
Hell yeah. Way to go out with some 🔥 songs! The run you guys had was insane.
Muchas Gracias por todo, espero este no sea el final y más bien sea el inicio de una nueva época, fueron tantos momentos de alegría y seguirán ya que hay un amplio contenido de canciones, pero confío plenamente que algún día este tipo de videojuegos van a regresar donde pagues una especie de suscripción para tener acceso a los repertorios.
I remember getting my first drum kit on RB1, if that never happened, I don't think I'd ever be the drummer (not main hobby) that I am today. Thank you for the last 16 years of entertainment and dedication!
Harmonix, thank you so much for supporting Rock Band for as long as you have! 🤙
It was amazing to be part of such a passionate community. I will continue playing this game until my hands fall off. Ride into the beautiful sun, my darling!
Even though I already knew, I came back hoping to see another DLC announcement. 😢
You changed my life and my taste for music. I thank you for everything and will play you for the rest of my life.
Harmonix, I would like to thank you for all the Rock Band & Rock Band Network DLC you have given the world over the last 17 years.
I was introduced to Rock Band/Guitar Hero back in Christmas 2009 when I was 12 and it soundtracked my teenage years. I played it mainly for the difficult songs like DragonForce and Chaotrope. and long songs like "Sir Psycho Sexy" (Damn censorship) and "Do You Feel Like We Do (Live)". I still play Rock Band 3 but for custom songs from acts that will now never get DLC like Guns n Roses, Michael Jackson etc.
One hopes that there will be a Rock Band 5 but if it is the last ever DLC for the Rock Band series; Thank You; and as a popular cartoon character would say in the end; "Th-th-that's all, folks!"
Thanks HMX and thanks RB.
I'll see you all in Rock Band 5, whenever it may come.
What a great week to wrap up DLC. "Thank You" was definitely an unexpected surprise.
It’s been a great and unforgettable run, gonna be so weird not waiting for new dlc on Tuesday anymore 😦. My friend got me into this game and it has changed my life ever since, not to mention I’ve met so many talented and friendly players in the community, will always be thankful for everything. ❤️
Thanks for the memories Harmonix. I wish rock band 5 will come soon
Rock band you have made me so diverse in music and I appreciate all the hard work that this company put in over the years. Thank you for all the amazing memories!
A nice sendoff. I only got into Rock Band recently, but I still feel a bit sad that DLC is done. Farewell RB4!
Goodbye, Rock Band 4. Been playing since launch day, it's so sad to lose you.
Please be done with this Fortnite thing soon and come back to a real rhythm game. It's not the same.
Been playing since release day as well.
Define "a real rhythm game".
@@Groudon0199I'm assuming he means a good one
They literally can't. They were bought by Epic Games and have to work on whatever they ask.
@@Groudon0199 a full-featured rock band sequel
clone hero and yarg do everything rock band 4 does, for example, but they're missing the trappings of a rock band game
progression, character creation, story mode, all the instruments, unique modes, play a show, etc.
Just hope when Rock band 5 comes out we get full legacy controller support and a full Rock band export
my final song count is 3135. i have been playing rock band almost everyday since winter 07. thank you so much harmonix and i wish you all the best.
Bittersweet. So bittersweet. Only recently was able to get back into Rock Band and decided to get mt group of friends together for my birthday to all play. Hadn't had moments like that in quite a long time. But even many years after release we were all able to make some great memories for a life time. While i sadly still haven't got to play rock band 4, thank you Harmonix for everything. My rock band 3 is filled upon filled with songs and hopefully one day soon ill be able to get RB4 before its to late. Im not crying you are, please make Rock Band 5 someday. Fortnite Festival just isnt the same. Much love ❤
Been playing since Rock Band 1's release... damn I started tearing up during this video...
Without the influence of Guitar Hero or Rock Band when I was 10 years old I wouldn't have developed my own taste in music, and for that I will forever be grateful with Harmonix. If Rock Band 5 happens sometime in the future, I Will Follow.
Long live the King of rock and the king of rythm games!
*salutes* Nearly 9 years of DLC. Thank you!
Thank you for everything
Thank you! Never got my Phil Collins but cherished my time playing from RB1 thru RB4! ❤❤
Farewell for now. Perhaps some day in the future we'll see a new era of Rock Band. I've been along for the ride since 2009, starting with The Beatles RB. Even though I haven't played much at all the last few years due to Rivals burnout/health issues, just wanted to stop in here to say thank you for all the memories. Wish you'd have played on PlayStation for your streams more than just a few times, but at least I got to join in once..
