Gameplay Notes
“Hold My Hand” opens the new DLC pack. This tune is great for the full band, as there is a little something for everyone. Bassists have a constantly active bassline that will be a blast to hold down. Darius Rucker, vocalist of Hootie & The Blowfish, accomplishes a fantastic vocal performance in this track with plenty of variety and vocal runs. Singers will have plenty to practice with this one!

An iconic hit from Hootie & The Blowfish, “Only Wanna Be With You”, joins the Music Library this week. Featuring an energetic beat on drums to a fun guitar solo, this track is sure to be a staple in your ’90s setlist. The track also includes an interesting and varied bassline and catchy vocal harmony charts.

Another bass-centric tune, “Let Her Cry”, finishes up this week’s pack. Bassists will have the spotlight in this one as well, with an interesting countermelody sprinkled throughout the tune. “Let Her Cry” is an excellent tune for beginner rockers.

Bon Jovi is back with memorable guitar riffs and driving drums in “Born Again Tomorrow”. An awesome addition to any music library as Bon Jovi returns to their unique brand of Jersey-born rock ‘n’ roll. This song will be fun for players of all skill levels with challenging vocals and fret-work.

The Rock Band Rivals Companion App, the first mobile companion app in Rock Band history, is available on the App Store and Google Play.
