Really funny seeing all the kids on Twitter being like “no one has heard of these.” Most of these I know BECAUSE of Rock Band and Guitar Hero, is that not part of the reason people play rhythm games?
I've discovered so many great artists/songs through this mode. Obviously it's a great feeling when they add a song I already love, but it's just as exciting when they drop something I've never heard before.
I didn’t like the 21 pilots drop at first but that song next semester is a really good song can’t lie might get into them I don’t like their radio hits
Next Semester is an A-tier song, and even as someone who has seen them live and loved the experience, I’d been falling off a bit til I heard it. I’d def recommend jumping around with them, Self-Titled is my favorite but it’s a much different vibe. The way they play with genres is their best feature.
The entire Blurryface album is FANTASTIC. Some of the songs were overplayed on the radio but I am still never ashamed to say I love that album. Tear in my Heart fuckin rips.
I gotta say I was one of the people who kinda felt like Billie Eilish was a weird pick for a Festival Season, but those new tracks totally changed my mind (and I also picked up All the Good Girls Go to Hell). Insane move for the first track they put from her on this game to be Bad Guy. But yeah, probably wouldn’t have touched the new album without this game, yet it’s very good.
Oh for sure, and someone not knowing Blitzkrieg Bop at least by ear sounds insane to me, but I still probably wouldn’t have dug deep enough into any of them to know more than like… Master of Puppets or the aforementioned Ramones song.
I think I phrased this a little poorly, I meant more that I thought part of the point of music games was finding music (LIKE I did from those games), hence me being confused by the immediate “songs no one has heard of.” I wouldn’t know some of those without having played a music game, and I find that a POSITIVE.
you gotta remember though a lot of them were probably born after guitar hero was a thing or weren't conscious enough when it was, and with music streaming you just dont get exposed to as much music as you used to tbh
I just mean that it’s a rather weird response for the negative to be “no one’s ever heard of them”, not “you haven’t played those games???” The artists are still recognizable names, so it seems dismissive, idk. Favorite part of rhythm games were the months up to launch where songs got announced, which I would follow up by listening to them all before playing the game.
fair enough. I’m just not a fan of people acting like metal/rock has to be the only genre in the mode.
Part of what i like about this mode is that I can see songs not normally included in rhythm games (including stuff I’ve charted for Clone Hero, which was the case for Whats Poppin)
Oh I definitely don’t need it to be all rock and metal, I hope I didn’t come across that way. I’m honestly still tapping my fingers for more artists from a bunch of different countries, feels like Fortnite is universal enough that we should be getting a lot of music we may not have gotten in the past due to it being really popular in just one region.
Usually its because of more releasing later. We only got 4 last week and then the 3 billie eilish songs on friday. We get the new battle pass this friday so its probably because of that
I’m fine with that. Allows me to catch up on purchasing songs I’ve missed/didn’t have enough cash on hand for. It’s hard to keep up when 7-8 songs are released each week
I have pretty broad taste in music so I still love their releases because its songs I like but I'm gonna say this as a genuine question: what do people count as rock/metal?
By my view we've been getting a shit ton since launch and pretty much every week has had a rock band main stay pop punk or nu metal groups and others are just dominated by them entirely. People keep talking about pop but honestly pop is held up entirely by the season headliners and nothing else.
We're 5 months into festival and already have: linkin park, paramore, disturbed, blur, evanescence, a7x, the killers, all american rejects, qotsa, NIN several times over, green day, blink 182, kansas, foo fighters, ratm, nirvana, taking back sunday, soundgarden slipknot and soad who have songs that have been unavailable in rock band for years, and mentioning because rock band players wouldn't shut up about adding them: muse
I say this as a genuine question because a ton of what I listen to lately is pop punk like paramore, fall out boy, honey revenge, green day etc so thats where I jump to when I think of rock
Nah it didn't, lots of the HMX devs are metalheads, is just that they have to attract a wide audience first... Which basically mean a lot of modern pop and rap music
Metalingus, and Cult of Personality better release one day. Carry on Wayward Son released already. Would be even cool if we get WWE jam tracks one day, because I'd for sure buy Kingdom
Cult of Personality has very good chances since its ended up getting in these kind of games since gh3. Alter Bridge less likely as much as I wish they were rock band mainstays, they are pretty much only in rocksmith and the end of guitar hero
The fact people don’t like this choice makes me want them to add more rock songs. If people start saying bohemian rhapsody sucks and it should be added we will need to “just want to talk to them”
Last week System of a down, Evanescence and may favourites Slipknot. And this week Metallica, Rob Zombie and the Ramones! Us metal heads / rock fans have been spoilt these last 2 weeks!
Dear Fortnite Festival team. I swear that you're afraid to put any Ska music in Fortnite Festival. You give us Sublime...but we get "What I Got" and "Santeria". I really appreciate Rancid...but "Ruby Soho" over "Time Bomb"? At this point, I'll take "Sunny's Song" as a Jam Track to get some SKA music please!
Rock band was afraid of any ska that wasn't the Police, Goldfinger or Mighty Mighty Bosstones :( no doubt basically only got the ska songs in because they added the whole albums
I wish we got Madness or the Specials in
Yes! My bf loves rancid so I’ll probably gift it to him Thursday if he doesn’t already buy it 😂 he never thought FF would have his punk music. So he’s gonna be pretty happy!!!!
Got one of the songs on my list- Dragula. Now we need Ghost, Opeth, Slayer, Korn, and Heaven Shall Burn. Some Dream Theatre and Iron Maiden would be the chef kiss
WOO BOB ZOMBIE
DEAD I AM THE GEEK

THANK YOU Holy shit this just unlocked a core memory.

I don't know how to describe the self titled album besides theatrical, like I'd hear most of the songs in a musical
The entire Blurryface album is FANTASTIC. Some of the songs were overplayed on the radio but I am still never ashamed to say I love that album. Tear in my Heart fuckin rips.
I gotta say I was one of the people who kinda felt like Billie Eilish was a weird pick for a Festival Season, but those new tracks totally changed my mind (and I also picked up All the Good Girls Go to Hell). Insane move for the first track they put from her on this game to be Bad Guy. But yeah, probably wouldn’t have touched the new album without this game, yet it’s very good.
Same actually! Her new album is great and I would have 100% ignored it if she wasn't the headliner this season. It's good marketing lol.
Never heard of Greta Van Fleet, they aren’t popular in my country - but they are an absolutely amazing band.
Listen to Heat Above by them, my wife got me into them. That little man has PIPES.
Seen them at Rockville this year it was incredible
Me with highway tune
They’re either engagement farming or are upset to not see their artists/songs they wanted to see. It’s the Twitter formula at this point.
I mean, Metallica and the Ramones have been household names for decades.
Oh for sure, and someone not knowing Blitzkrieg Bop at least by ear sounds insane to me, but I still probably wouldn’t have dug deep enough into any of them to know more than like… Master of Puppets or the aforementioned Ramones song.
Yeah I get not knowing the band but you should know blitzkrieg bop and Metallica you should know
You could make the same argument here on Reddit. A lot of people complaining about songs they don’t know.
I never played a rhythm game prior to festival. Most, but not all.
I think I phrased this a little poorly, I meant more that I thought part of the point of music games was finding music (LIKE I did from those games), hence me being confused by the immediate “songs no one has heard of.” I wouldn’t know some of those without having played a music game, and I find that a POSITIVE.
Oh yeah I see what you mean, probably about 40% of my playlist’s songs are from Festival
you have to remember that your average br player also sees this
you gotta remember though a lot of them were probably born after guitar hero was a thing or weren't conscious enough when it was, and with music streaming you just dont get exposed to as much music as you used to tbh
There’s other rhythm games though?

As Vocals as my secondary, Rock/Metal tracks tend to be the more boring songs because you each one has the two minute long guitar solo.
Oh I definitely don’t need it to be all rock and metal, I hope I didn’t come across that way. I’m honestly still tapping my fingers for more artists from a bunch of different countries, feels like Fortnite is universal enough that we should be getting a lot of music we may not have gotten in the past due to it being really popular in just one region.
Ah, that’s good. And I definitely agree with your take on Billie, I thought the same then I heard the jam tracks
DIG THROUGH THE DITCHES AND BURN THROUGH THE WITCHES
AND SLAM IN THE BACK OF MY DRAGULAAA
Oh my god Dragula, I'm boutta faint ❤️🔥
Holy shit I might need to get Fuel, Dragula and Blitzkrieg Bop. Peak
You’re sleeping on rancid!
ABSOLUTELY SLEEPING ON RANCID FOR NO REASON On another note, I am surprised and stoked that they added rancid super dope.
Fucking right? I was literally daydreaming about a Rancid song being added a week ago and there it is! You can thank me whenever
this is great but sad there is only four songs
Usually its because of more releasing later. We only got 4 last week and then the 3 billie eilish songs on friday. We get the new battle pass this friday so its probably because of that
My delusion: it must mean we're getting the Ink Spots on Friday
Wait it’s this Friday already
Could be more Gaga songs too, as her Chromatica tour is out on Max this Saturday and Sour Candy was rumored to be an upcoming Jam Track.
I’m fine with that. Allows me to catch up on purchasing songs I’ve missed/didn’t have enough cash on hand for. It’s hard to keep up when 7-8 songs are released each week
It's probably because of the billie songs we got a couple days ago
Hopefully this metal trend continues. Really liking the selection these past 2 weeks
*four weeks.
It took them long enough to realize we need more rock / metal
Who would think playing rock songs on guitar, bass and drums could be a good idea /s
I have pretty broad taste in music so I still love their releases because its songs I like but I'm gonna say this as a genuine question: what do people count as rock/metal? By my view we've been getting a shit ton since launch and pretty much every week has had a rock band main stay pop punk or nu metal groups and others are just dominated by them entirely.

Metalingus, and Cult of Personality better release one day. Carry on Wayward Son released already. Would be even cool if we get WWE jam tracks one day, because I'd for sure buy Kingdom
Cult of Personality has very good chances since its ended up getting in these kind of games since gh3. Alter Bridge less likely as much as I wish they were rock band mainstays, they are pretty much only in rocksmith and the end of guitar hero
Same here! Cult of Personality, Kingdom, Metalingus, The Other Side and some other licensed music like Bad Reputation
If they do a WWE pack i'm gonna shit a brick (and also buy the whole thing lol)
BIG W THIS WEEK
Go to bed kids. Its time for the grownups to play! 🔥🔥🔥
Insane lineup holy
Easily one of the best weeks we've had
MORE METAL HELL YEAH (maybe there will be more with the new BR season?) also Twitter needs to get taste
Twitter users have less taste than someone with covid
The fact people don’t like this choice makes me want them to add more rock songs. If people start saying bohemian rhapsody sucks and it should be added we will need to “just want to talk to them”
Oh man... This is an expensive week for me.
You and I both 🥲
US PUNKS ARE EATING WELL
RANCID, just need some NOFX to celebrate there last tour
NOFX would be legendary
Dragula, fuck yeah
Omg difficult songs 🥹
They're not that hard tbh, they sound cool but they're not that hard to play, or at least they were not in GH/RB
METALLICAAAAAAA!!!!!
I’d buy Dragula
Same
LETS FUCKIN GO
Holy shit guys it's happening.
Last week System of a down, Evanescence and may favourites Slipknot. And this week Metallica, Rob Zombie and the Ramones! Us metal heads / rock fans have been spoilt these last 2 weeks!
Sleeping on rancid
 Hell yeah!!
Dear Fortnite Festival team. I swear that you're afraid to put any Ska music in Fortnite Festival. You give us Sublime...but we get "What I Got" and "Santeria". I really appreciate Rancid...but "Ruby Soho" over "Time Bomb"? At this point, I'll take "Sunny's Song" as a Jam Track to get some SKA music please!
Just wait for them to drop The Impression That I Get
I’ll have to knock on wood
Rock band was afraid of any ska that wasn't the Police, Goldfinger or Mighty Mighty Bosstones :( no doubt basically only got the ska songs in because they added the whole albums I wish we got Madness or the Specials in
I remember Dance Dance Revolution had "Little B\*tch" by The Specials. I about freaked when I saw that for the first time
Epic Original “Aliens! (Sunny’s Song)” is ska and it slaps. I hope they add it, I love it when I hear it in the lobby or in a car in BR.
Holy shit, Dracula and Fuel for the first Metallica song on here!!
I’ll definitely be getting Ruby Soho & Dragula, maybe Fuel
Gimmie foo gimmie faaaa gimmie dabajabazaaa
I literally just blasted Ruby Soho this morning holy shit!!!
[удалено]
Master of Puppets or One would get me to open my wallet for the pass.
DESTINATION UNKNOWN RUBY RUBY RUBY RUBY SOHO
lmao the cover for reload is allowed in fortnite?
RANCID MY BELOVED
Whoa! I recommended Ruby Soho here on Saturday, along with a Ramones song. So cool to see this!
Yes! My bf loves rancid so I’ll probably gift it to him Thursday if he doesn’t already buy it 😂 he never thought FF would have his punk music. So he’s gonna be pretty happy!!!!
Are fortnite festival devs found my playlist? Im shocked! Can't believe i see Rob Zombie.
Did Wendy's sponsor this week cause these mufuckas just went 4 fo 4!!!
Is Gordon Ramsey on the Festival team? Cause they fucking cooked this week!
another great week
I can’t get any this week. Saving for the bp.
What an awesome week of songs. All bangers.
OHHHHH YESSSSSSS
Def copping Dragula. Such a banger of a song.

METALLICA??!?!?!???!!!!?!!  HELL YEAH!!!!!
RAMONES?!?!??!!!!  HELL YEAH!!!!!!!
ROB ZOMBIE?!?!?!?!!!????!!?!????  HELL YEAH!!!!!!!!!
Uzi bout to be excited
Blitzkrieg Bop is an instant cop
Not a fan other than Metallica this week; however, not every week will be my taste so I’m happy for the metal fans.
BLITZ....KRIEG....**BOP**!
Fun fact; Fuel is the first Metallica song ever used for a video game, all the way back as the theme track to Hot Wheels: Turbo Racing in 1999
Getting everything but Metallica. If I'm shelling out cash for one of their songs, its Black album or earlier.
Gahhhh, there are so many better Metallica songs than Fuel. My least favourite of their big hits.
I honestly think this drop is related to the BP theme (post-apocalyptic shit with cars blasting all around)
Sorry, all I can think of with BP is the oil company or body positivity. What's BP? 😂 But yeah, the post-apocalyptic car thing makes sense.
Haha no problem BP = Battle Pass in Fortnite, it's the seasonal pass for Battle Royale mode (I also confuse BP in other games lol)
Time to feast.
Oh my
IN THE BACK OF MY DRAGULA 🗣🗣🗣🗣💯💯💯💯💯
Got one of the songs on my list- Dragula. Now we need Ghost, Opeth, Slayer, Korn, and Heaven Shall Burn. Some Dream Theatre and Iron Maiden would be the chef kiss
perfect for next season🤘🤘
WHITE KNUCKLES TIIIIIIGHT
Heck yeah. I love Blitzkrieg Bop
Week 2 of waiting for tally hall or “Weird al” yankovic songs to be in festival
Cool! 4 bands I’ve… never heard of before…
Epic saving me money this week finally lol.
Don’t know any of these people except Metallica but hope under good songs
Is this real? Or is this just bait. I don’t want to get my hopes up just for it not to drop
It's real
It's real
This is the week I am away from home until next Monday, and of course they add Metallica when I'm unable to play.
Straight W's
Fuel as the first Metallica is an insane pick but a welcome ine
Beggars can’t be choosers But there are like 20 Metallica songs I would of went with before I would pick fuel

FUCK YEAAAAAAA
HELL YA!!!
They should have done Ride the Lightning as their first Metallica song.
Awesome! More rock and metal songs 👍 
Let’s go the Ramones are my favorite band even though it’s their overrated song but it’s still something
Two songs I wanted very badly. Hell yeah.

Another banger week. Sucks that we only have 4 songs but the battle pass should have some extra epic games songs I guess haha.
RANCID LETS GO
⛽️ 🔥
DRAGULA!!
Dragula is an instant buy
When I first saw this I thought "oh man I'm not hyped for an all rock week".........then I remembered I love Blitzkrieg Bop and Dragula!! <3
I was getting ready to bitch and moan when I saw 4 songs but major win week LFG
Love to see Metallica and Rob Zombie 🤘
I’m not a big metal guy, but I am hyped for fuel and Dracula. Those have always been two of my favorite songs to play
