Harmonix has finally come through

Korn is finally on Rock Band. Yes, “Word Up” is on Lego Rock Band, but that is a terrible cover of a terrible song so it doesn’t count. Freak on A Leash was in Guitar Hero 4 or 5, but this makes it official.

Freak On A Leash and Falling Away From Me are now in my library. I stopped buying tracks about a year ago in protest, it was down right ridiculous that Korn didn’t make it in after freaking Ramstein, who had one notable song in the US in 1998, did. It was some serious conspiracy stuff! There’s probably about a dozen bands that Korn opened the door for that had DLC added over the years, but not a drop for Korn (was it a label issue? Sony and Road Runner are well represented in RB though…). I can only hope this does well enough for them to add more, there’s a ton of good songs that would fit well. Would have been great if they released these tracks when the franchise was still huge. But I digress, 2 songs is a treat for me. Playing on Medium Pro drums is actually more difficult than playing on Hard Pro. There’s so many notes taken out that it’s really hard to follow, the chart looks so wrong. FOAL is a lot of fun in particular, the drum pattern is really unusual.
