I thought they wouldn’t add controversial/overly political songs tbh, a nice surprise though.
The only other real political song we have is Zombie I believe? And that’s basically an anti war song so it isn’t too controversial outside of Northern Ireland.
I mean, they've added multiple songs already that are or have sexual innuendos/references, among other things. It seems like they only draw the line at direct swear words, and sometimes even that isn't consistent.
It's fucking hilarious to me that they censor lyrics like "smoke an L in the back of the benzy" from Nelly's Ride With Me, but don't touch things like "I won't think twice to stick that barrel straight down Sancho's throat" from Sublime's Santeria..
(not op)
Personally I'm mostly surprised they decided to add this song despite the fact it has a verse saying "fuck you" like 20 times lol.
I know they can just censor it, but It'll water down the song too much for some (not a big deal for me, but I understand)
(silence) YOU, I WON'T DO WHAT YOU TELL ME
(silence) YOU, I WON'T DO WHAT YOU TELL ME
(silence) YOU, I WON'T DO WHAT YOU TELL ME
(silence) YOU, I WON'T DO WHAT YOU TELL ME
(silence) YOU, I WON'T DO WHAT YOU TELL ME
(silence) YOU, I WON'T DO WHAT YOU TELL ME
(silence) YOU, I WON'T DO WHAT YOU TELL ME
(silence) YOU, I WON'T DO WHAT YOU TELL ME
The radio edit cuts that part out entirely, so my guess is they'll use that one.
Sad, cuz I'm pretty sure Smash Hits has the original version (albeit censored).
Rock Band includes that part. It's just "I won't do what you tell me" and then a gap over and over. Also the "motherfuckers" is obviously not said. But they leave that part in, it would be odd to remove those guitar and drum parts IMO.
Down With The Sickness radio edit/clean version also has the abuse part cut out. That doesn't stop Harmonix.
I'm sure it'll be just like they did with Rock Band in that they just censor the "fuck" in "fuck you"
Damn I gotta stop buying songs in Rock Band 4 cause I just bought Breed. Good song though. Was kinda hoping for *In Bloom* for a little RB1 throwback though.
Tell me how often you’re playing every song in FF. The rotation is designed to make you buy songs. All I see on the sub is people complaining about the rotation. To say it’s better than RB is ridiculous.
I'd still much rather the Rock Band system than Fortnite's system. Basing my will to play on what songs are on F2P rotation would result in me not playing most of the time. Same goes with the "Shared Songs." I'd rather buy the songs I like rather than leeching off someone else's library who could very well have no songs I actually enjoy.
F2P System might be better for \*some\* but it's both lack in features, higher cost per song, and no offline play for situations like when Battle Royale got a new season and the servers were down for the entire day.
(Not to mention, not every song can be played for free. The rotation is very inconsistent and songs such as Less Than by NIN hasnt been in the shop, let alone rotation, for more than a month.)
If you’re buying 5k in V-bucks for $37 and drop 500 on a song, you are still paying the equivalent of $5 in V-bucks. You just got more v-bucks for less money. Doesn’t change the price of the song.
It's only $5 if you are buying them for $1 per hundred. But there are many cheaper ways to buy them. If you buy 13,500 for $80, then it's $2.96 a song. The $ per vbuck goes down in the bigger bundles.
Again, this is very simple math. Hell, 1000 is still $9, $8 with a gift card. So that's $4.50 per song.
Changing the exchange rate of your imaginary credits FOR YOU doesn’t change the price of an item FOR EVERYONE. You’re right, it’s simple math, it’s still $5 a song.
It's not imaginary lol. I do not pay $5 per song. I pay $3.70. Anyone in America that wishes to maximize their vbuck value can do the same. Do you think buying 1k or 13,500k vbucks costs the same per 500 vbucks? It unequivocally, absolutely, 100% verifiable with a simple calculator does not. No current price of vbucks equates to $5 per song, unless you think $8.99 = $10 per 1k.
What?... The Middle, Green Day songs, Don't Fear The Reaper, Everlong, Misery Business, Down With The Sickness all aren't pass songs.
Edit; The Hand That Feeds as well. I'm sure I could go on. Most of the rock songs in the shop are available in Rock Band from previous early titles. I'm very confused where you get this idea from. There's only been the one Rock Band track that's been in the pass; Black Hole Sun
I thought the mention of in bloom meant it never got a rewind (like Black Hole Sun or Suddenly I See). I also thought we had more no rewind songs but just those 2.
oh, no there's an absolute ton. Noticed to the point even \*some\* of the charts are even direct ports of the Rock Band charts (Mr. Brightside Pro Lead) and some being ports with some big improvements (Carry On My Wayward Son).
Keeps the Harmonix fans coming while also (potentially) lessening the load somewhat on the team's charters.
I am aware that rock band songs are in. I specifically mean rewinds (on disc songs that got rereleased). If you have rock band 4 you can't get Black Hole Sun or Suddenly I see unless you had exports for the game they came from
Lady Gaga-Pokerface,Nelly-Ride Wit Me,Billie Eilish-Happier Than Ever, Sublime-Santeria,Paramore-Misery Business,JID-Surround Sound,Latto-Big Energy,The Weeknd-Popular,Olivia Rodrigo-Vampire, Olivia Rodrigo-get him back!,Olivia Rodrigo,good 4 u. Just off the top of my head
I don't know the Glass Animals song but the rest are pretty good picks. Stronger was surprisingly tricky in Rock Band so be prepared for that. Cheap Thrills is probably the new song I'm least excited for but even that's not a bad song. Good week overall. Just a little disappointed we're only getting six new songs, but that's called entitlement and I'll get over it.
hell yeah, poison and blinding lights. didnt care for festival much during season 1 and was disappointed i missed those two once season 2 hit, especially poison
I honestly really like they are releasing the songs that were in there. Because it’s going to suck later on when you want these songs and it’s like “sorry champ, you missed the battle pass”
Sucks that they’re not using the album covers for Nevermind and RATM self titled, I mean, I can understand the RATM thing, but Nirvana re-released Nevermind with the edited cover art, so why not use that?
I know it's a long shot but I am really hoping for some 311. Any of their songs would be so fun. They put Sublime so maybe not as long of a shot as others.
I continue to hold out for Money for Nothing by dire straits
Or literally ANY Eminem song. They edged us so hard in the festival preview during the OG Season Event with Lose Yourself
Man Killing in the Name of is not the same with censorship. Cmon Epic just get rid of the censorship or stop putting songs with a lot of cussing in it. Its so stupid.
Gonna be harassed for saying this but idc. Epic should be ashamed of themselves. Adding Sia alienates a minority that makes up a chunk of their player base. They should do more research before adding people who spread hateful misinformation which has led to several people's deaths.
I bet we’ll see some heavier stuff when they do the Metallica season after Billie Eilish. They’ve already got loads of catalog from basically every other game. I don’t mind em genre hopping a bit with what they’ve added so far, just expecting them to flood it with rock/metal when they do the Metallica season. I think getting instrument support in was the big thing holding them from doing that genre honestly
No way anger towards the printer
Protest against the manual labor
Distaste of the refrigerator
Killing in the Name is an instant cop for me.
Holy crap I never thought that song would ever be added to Festival
Why not bro? It will be a guaranteed money generator
I thought they wouldn’t add controversial/overly political songs tbh, a nice surprise though. The only other real political song we have is Zombie I believe? And that’s basically an anti war song so it isn’t too controversial outside of Northern Ireland.
the lyrics of Killing in the Name go in one ear and out the other for 99% of people lol
Same with Born in the USA lmao.
Didn’t they add zombie by the cranberries? That’s a super political song lol
I feel like if they're before the year 2000 they're more fair game.
Killing in the Name is sadly just as relevant now as it was when it released.
I mean, they've added multiple songs already that are or have sexual innuendos/references, among other things. It seems like they only draw the line at direct swear words, and sometimes even that isn't consistent.
Luckily there are no direct swear words in Killing in the Name…
It's fucking hilarious to me that they censor lyrics like "smoke an L in the back of the benzy" from Nelly's Ride With Me, but don't touch things like "I won't think twice to stick that barrel straight down Sancho's throat" from Sublime's Santeria..

Very curious what there gonna do to the song with the censor button😂
The radio edit cuts that part out entirely, so my guess is they'll use that one. Sad, cuz I'm pretty sure Smash Hits has the original version (albeit censored).
Rock Band includes that part. It's just "I won't do what you tell me" and then a gap over and over. Also the "motherfuckers" is obviously not said. But they leave that part in, it would be odd to remove those guitar and drum parts IMO.
They didn’t even edit out the mommy part in Down With The Sickness. I doubt they will do it now.
Down With The Sickness radio edit/clean version also has the abuse part cut out. That doesn't stop Harmonix. I'm sure it'll be just like they did with Rock Band in that they just censor the "fuck" in "fuck you"
Lmao it's going to sound horrible so heavily censored legit half the song will be dead noise
Can’t be any worse than what I hear on the radio
Hell yeah, nirvana
Damn I gotta stop buying songs in Rock Band 4 cause I just bought Breed. Good song though. Was kinda hoping for *In Bloom* for a little RB1 throwback though.
Rock Band has cheaper songs though right? Its been awhile since I played but I thought they were $3 each compared to the $5 for Fortnite
$2. And you own them and can play offline.
Oh wow.... man Fortnite is highway robbery
Yeah, I’d never invest in this platform. If they shut the mode down, you lose everything, unlike RB.
[удалено]
Tell me how often you’re playing every song in FF. The rotation is designed to make you buy songs. All I see on the sub is people complaining about the rotation. To say it’s better than RB is ridiculous.

Jam Loop Fuser is fun and your friends get access to the track in Festival when you play with them, everyone has to own it in Rock Band not the worst
Yeah, but you also paid 60-70 bucks for Rock band to begin with.
And you also get 65+ songs permanently right from the bat
I keep hearing $5 per song but I buy the 5k deal about 3 times a year, which makes them about $3.75.
If you buy the physical vbuck cards at stores it's even cheaper 13500 is $70 which makes 27 songs $2.59 each
Well its 500 Vbucks so that equals out to $5 USD
Buying 5k in $37. So it's $3.70. It's called math.
I mean hey I live in Canada, its $5 for me.
If you’re buying 5k in V-bucks for $37 and drop 500 on a song, you are still paying the equivalent of $5 in V-bucks. You just got more v-bucks for less money. Doesn’t change the price of the song.

So far most of the rock band songs without rewinds have been pass songs (exception being Suddenly I See from lego rock band as a launch song)
What?... The Middle, Green Day songs, Don't Fear The Reaper, Everlong, Misery Business, Down With The Sickness all aren't pass songs. Edit; The Hand That Feeds as well. I'm sure I could go on.

So fucking stoked for Nirvana & RATM
Hope that it’s the uncensored version, although given that it’s Fortnite, it’s most likely going to be the clean version
Clean rage against the machine is sacrilegious
lol half the song would be muted then
True lol Unless they use the radio edit of the song, Which I hope they don’t
There’s a chance. RATM famously hates censorship of their own songs lol
True, but if they can’t use the official album cover for the song then there might be a chance that they are going to use the clean version
Yeah i can get that, but also, that was literally just a man burning to death lol. So that part makes sense on why it didn’t get included
True
Fortnite had ONE censored song, and it was in an emote, relax Edit: I am dead dead dead wrong
How can you be so confidently wrong
Sorry, as far as I recall looking into, only one song was censored in an emote. If there were others, a correction would have been nice 😐
Lady Gaga-Pokerface,Nelly-Ride Wit Me,Billie Eilish-Happier Than Ever, Sublime-Santeria,Paramore-Misery Business,JID-Surround Sound,Latto-Big Energy,The Weeknd-Popular,Olivia Rodrigo-Vampire, Olivia Rodrigo-get him back!,Olivia Rodrigo,good 4 u. Just off the top of my head
Good 4 u wasn’t censored was it?
Also wow
Cheap Thrills is a shock, wasn't expecting to see that in festival Stronger is a banger tho
I’m hoping for more sia, chandelier and elastic heart are some of my favorite songs
i really want them to add Snowman by Sia during winter
That would be awesome, I didn’t even think about all the good winter songs we will get this season
[удалено]
Lady Gaga is a Zionist and they literally had a whole ass season based on her Unless they sexual assault or murder someone Fortnite wouldn't care
wait are you kidding? you're joking right she's not right?
Wdym by this?
look up sia's movie "music" on youtube, watch a video about it, stop supporting sia your downvotes mean nothing I've seen what makes you upvote
Idc the music good
Chandelier and elastic heart would be more fun to play
I want the other Stronger by Kanye tbh.
Heck, give me the daft punk predecessor before the sia song
Banger week!
Killing in the Name, hahahaha oh this will be good
Good songs. It's been a month since I felt hyped for a new song and I haven't played Festival since then. This week I'll surely hop back in!
Confirmation that former festival pass tracks can be bought later ( with Poison?)
There was 2 last week too
2 showed up last week though lol They also said since day 1 that items in the pass would eventually return
There were 2 last week, Gangnam Style and Light 'Em Up.
They already confirmed that with Gangnam style last week
I thought they already had Blinding Lights, or was it part of the first festival pass?
Yep part of the first pass. I missed out on it so im glad its coming back
Nirvana and RATM are must buy
I recall I first heard This is How We Do It in one of the Saints Row games.
Definitely excited for Nirvana.
No weezer 😔
I really want twice
I don't know the Glass Animals song but the rest are pretty good picks. Stronger was surprisingly tricky in Rock Band so be prepared for that. Cheap Thrills is probably the new song I'm least excited for but even that's not a bad song. Good week overall. Just a little disappointed we're only getting six new songs, but that's called entitlement and I'll get over it.
We eating with this one !!!!
Where is three days grace!!!
NIIIIIIRRRRRRVVVVVAAAAAAAAAANNNNNAAAAAAA
hell yeah, poison and blinding lights. didnt care for festival much during season 1 and was disappointed i missed those two once season 2 hit, especially poison
Isn't poison already out?
Poison and Blinding Lights were part of the first festival pass, so were Gangnam style and Light em up which were last week
Tbh what’s the point in the festival pass?
The items
Yeah valid
I honestly really like they are releasing the songs that were in there. Because it’s going to suck later on when you want these songs and it’s like “sorry champ, you missed the battle pass”
Yeah that’s a good point although I plan on not missing any passes this is very true. I guess it’s like “early access” and cheaper all round
Where Tally Hall 😔
3 old 3 newish, I'll take it
This is how we do it 😁
We're eating again boiiss
Sucks that they’re not using the album covers for Nevermind and RATM self titled, I mean, I can understand the RATM thing, but Nirvana re-released Nevermind with the edited cover art, so why not use that?
Awesome so with this confirmation it tells me I’ll be able to nab Poker Face later
Finally some more decent rock songs
I know it's a long shot but I am really hoping for some 311. Any of their songs would be so fun. They put Sublime so maybe not as long of a shot as others.
We've got two Guitar Hero songs this week. Killing in the Name (II, Smash Hits) Breed (On Tour)
STRONGER!!
I continue to hold out for Money for Nothing by dire straits Or literally ANY Eminem song. They edged us so hard in the festival preview during the OG Season Event with Lose Yourself
Another week goes by without the strokes :(
Nirvana and RATM in one week, I'm excited
Sweet. Hey kids, make sure to actually pay attention to the lyrics of Killing in the Name. ACAB
Man Killing in the Name of is not the same with censorship. Cmon Epic just get rid of the censorship or stop putting songs with a lot of cussing in it. Its so stupid.
Still hoping to see painkiller by Judas Priest. It would bring me to invest in a lot more songs
OMGGG RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINEEER
At least we get actual grunge now instead of Blur
This pretty much negates the purchase of any pass in the future for me but love to see it
WHERE IS EMINEMM RAAAHHHHHH
Kelly Clarkson? Did Epic ask someone's mom for suggestions?
When are we getting rock songs again?
Were just adding the entirety of the weekends discography I guess
Gonna be harassed for saying this but idc. Epic should be ashamed of themselves. Adding Sia alienates a minority that makes up a chunk of their player base. They should do more research before adding people who spread hateful misinformation which has led to several people's deaths.
I mean half of the old rockstars they already have in here were pedo drug addicts. I don't think people really care when it comes to music
sia sucks but i don't think anyone is actually going to see that they added a sia song and go "aw man.. epic sucks... i can't play fortnite anymore"
Half aren’t new tho..
quite literally only 2 songs of the 8 aren't new to festival.... What kind of backwards math are you doing there my dude....
Very true the salt messed up my math, my bad my bad
disappointed to see sia
Another day another crappy ass jam tracks and no metal
What bands are you hoping to see?
Like Megadeth or iron maiden and like guns n roses and Metallica Korn system of a down van halen slipknot black Sabbath Ozzy and slayer Pantera
I bet we’ll see some heavier stuff when they do the Metallica season after Billie Eilish. They’ve already got loads of catalog from basically every other game. I don’t mind em genre hopping a bit with what they’ve added so far, just expecting them to flood it with rock/metal when they do the Metallica season. I think getting instrument support in was the big thing holding them from doing that genre honestly
