What about the fourth week? Did I miss something in the announcement?
Cool that the songs seem to be good, but I wish we wouldn't get so many repeats. That being said, the SHA is probably not Live like the World Tour version, and we have bass/vocals/drums for the Aerosmith stuff now. Even with that caveat, couldn't we have got something not from GHA, like Dude Looks Like A Lady or Janie's Got a Gun or something? _________________

Yeah, why's there nothing for the 25th? Or are they planning something completely different for then?
Glad to know the announcement's finally up. I'm keen to sink into the Aerosmith tracks in spite of the recent Youtube controversies _________________

Pretty disappointing month. Lots of repeats, even if Aerosmith is new to full band. Might grab Rag Doll I guess...
And no May 25th or was it just not settled or something? |

You know, I'm never gonna play GH: Aerosmith again, so I'm all for that pack. Hopefully something really awesome is coming in the last week. _________________

Oh come now, guys, stop your bawwing. I personally think recycling songs from non-band-centric games is a great idea. If anything, it gives us hope that they're continuing to gain usage licenses for songs from previous games. Plus, it re-introduces us to tunes from games past. _________________

As TheGreatDave pointed out. For those who owned the old games and DLC, May has a whopping 4 new tracks.
Once again I question the output considering by this point last year we had Guitar Hero: Metallica. Even without a retail game, we're 17 songs behind last year's DLC pace. (14 was last month. This is another 3 this month)
