Metallica 02
Metallica's contract with Guitar Hero is long time to end, and a 
8- pack of songs from each album would totally be rad, i've chosen the top single from each album for this killer DLC pack. Whiplash is easily the fastest song in the pack. Released as their first single in their first album "Kill 'em all". Creeping Death was released as the only single from their second album "Ride the lightning" it is one of Metallica's most frequently played songs live. The lyrics of the song contains tons of biblical references. Master of Puppets is one of Metallica's most iconic songs, dealing with drugs, them controling you, becoming your master. VH1 ranked the song the 3rd greatest guitar heavy metal song ever. From the album "Master of puppets". Released as their 3rd and final single for their album "...And Justice for All", come One. It was the band's first top 40 hit single reaching number 35 on the Billboard top 100. The song starts off slow but builds on into intensity. 3rd single from their self-titled album "Metallica". Peaked at number 11 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock chart as well as top-ten positions on european charts; Nothing Else Matters. This song has been covered over 40 times. The pack also includes top hits from Load and Reload; Until it Sleeps and The Memory Remains. From their live album "S&M" comes No Leaf Clover. Only performed live song played with the San Francisco Symphony making it a good song for keyboard lovers. From their controversial album "St. Anger", St. Anger; equipped with hard riffs and excludes any solo, was a bold move on Metallica's part to not include any solos on the album. From their latest album "Death Magnetic" The Day That Never Comes finishes off the pack with a blast of power. It also includes the metallica songs from the older RockBand games not included in the export code due to legal reasons.

Chuck Berry's Johnny B. Goode
Ah....the iconic Chuck Berry song brought popular again in the 80's with the movie "Back to the future". Recorded in 1958, making it a rare 50's song that Rock Band would have (the others are all Johnny Cash songs and 1 Jerry lee lewis RBN track). Back then, it was a huge hit with black and white people bringing the races together in love of music. Intense keyboard riffs are included here with awesome guitar work by a master of the 50's. There really should be more oldies hits on Rock Band and they should start with this one, or am I the only one that wants to Rock out like Michael J Fox?

Ah Rock Band.... I am writting this as the DLC of the game ends. But I still wanted more from them, and this is what I wished for from them if they still made music, so sit back and read about my wishlist I hope you like my picks :3

Blink-182 Pack 4

I know there is already a ton of Blink material on Rock Band but there is 3 songs that would top it off their whole career in the series. Some early works that they strongly should have put in there.
 Carousel
One of Blink's first songs and included in many compilations of their greatest songs, it is fast, the bass would be really fun to play with. There is no keyboards but there is great harmonies for 2 people which I love in a punk song.

Josie

From the album Dude Ranch, it is the 4th single release for the album. It is very alike Carousel with fast lyrics and tempo with    2-part harmonies. Also resembles The Party Song already released as DLC.

Man Overboard
From their live album. The last song on the album is not a live song and was it's first single. Very, very strong on harmonies, still no keyboards but it is excused with killer drums by Travis.
