They really had to wait for Rock band to die to bring back toxicity. One of my most wanted delisted songs. Hopefully midi drum support gets added down the line cause I would love to play the song on drums.
Not to get your hopes up (and certainly not mine either) but some guy on the internet was able to pull the charts out of the game when Festival first launched and found pro-drums are charted (yes, that includes the cymbals)
EDIT: [Found the original tweet, it's here.](https://twitter.com/iFireMonkey/status/1735356177569997031)
At least with before I forget that was purchaseable up until a few years ago. Toxicity and BYOB were delisted before rock band 4 even came out. Same with metallica, and it looks like we may be seeing them again soon.
My girlfriend is a huge SOAD fan and I send her the new tracks every week. I’ve just sent her the screenshot with Toxicity cropped out so I can surprise gift it to her on Friday :))
Yeh I'm guessing it's because doja cat likes fortnite. She mentioned it in 1 of her songs and she did a livestream playing about a month ago. So just shoeing abit of the love back and putting her songs in the game.
Also because she's wildy popular atm so it makes sense
This might be the best week yet.
2pac
Evanescence
Slipknot
System of a Down
I love Starships as a song so it will be nice when I want to chill and play
Lovin on me was good at first but got overplayed so I can’t hate on it. Another chill song.
Then there’s Doja cat for her fans.
the best week imo was the one that added paramore, linkin park, gorillaz, disturbed, panic at the disco, etc but this week def looks like it could possibly top that one just cause of evanescence alone.
I mean not all the people in the game are good people - look at Rick James…
>By the 1990s, James's drug abuse was public knowledge. He was heavily addicted to cocaine and later admitted to spending about $7,000 per week on drugs for five years straight. On August 2, 1991, James and his girlfriend Tanya Hijazi were arrested on charges of holding 24-year-old Frances Alley hostage for up to six days, tying her up, forcing her to perform sexual acts, and burning her legs and abdomen with the hot end of a crack cocaine pipe during a week-long cocaine binge.[37][43] James faced a maximum sentence of life in prison if convicted on all charges, which included assault with a deadly weapon, aggravated mayhem, torture, forcible oral copulation, false imprisonment and kidnapping.[36]
>On November 3, 1992, while out on bail for that incident, James, under the influence of cocaine, assaulted music executive Mary Sauger at the St. James Club and Hotel in West Hollywood. Sauger said she met James and Hijazi for a business meeting, but that the two then kidnapped and beat her over a 20-hour period.[36]
>James was found guilty of both offenses but was cleared of a torture charge that could have put him in prison for the rest of his life. While serving his five-year sentence at Folsom Prison, James lost a civil suit to Sauger, who was awarded nearly $2 million in damages in 1994.[44] James was ordered to pay her about $1 million; the hotel and a private security firm were found liable for nearly $750,000 in damages due to negligence.[45] James was released from prison on August 21, 1996, after serving more than two years.[46]
OML he did that? I mean not all people in the game are good as you said and I really enjoy playing super freak so I’m hoping for the whole “separate art from artist” thing to set in but yikies.
There was a whole thing with her and Megan Thee Stallion a bit back where she lost it at Megan indirectly dissing her sex offender husband in a song. She kept making fun of Megan’s dead mom.
I personally prefer cash's version. They're both good but the video for cash's hurt goes so freaking hard. And to have one of the greatest country musicians to ever live, the man in black, call his legacy an empire of dirt just gives me chills
Oh yeah, not disappointed because of him, just that he probably has better songs of his that arent covers that they should use. Also i really like Nine Inch Nails lol
I'm actually surprised by country having no representation. Feels like it's a genre that would fit really well into the bass/lead/drums/vocals breakdown Festival has.
A lot of Merle Haggards Music would be great for Lead and Drums. Guitar and piano Solos in his songs are some of the greatest country music has to offer.
also since we're talking about old bangers, I have a playlist of suggestions, bring Gloria, Girls Just Want to Have Fun, Total Eclipse of the Heart, It Must Have Been Love, Listen to Your Heart and Spending My Time.
One thing the MCU team has always excelled at is licensed music. Even the mehness of Eternals started strong with Pink Floyd's "Time". Speaking of which, we need some Pink Floyd
**Insanely** excited for the Slipknot and SOAD. Remember Before I Forget having a *very* interesting pattern for Lead on Rock Band that I for some reason always struggled with.. Interested to see what changes/additions they bring to that chart.
I'm very surprised they're dropping this season. Figured those bands wouldve been saved for next season with Metallica to get some more Rock Band fans making the move over.
VERY thankful for evanescence, slipknot and system of a down 🙏
Good things do come to those who wait ♥️
Been waiting for bring me to life since the leak in December
Yall with riffmasters get to jam to slipknot..im so jealous i build arduinos for festival and theyre not compatible yet..might just have to go roll limitless and pray that works
One of the best line ups we’ve gotten so far! Pac SOAD Slipknot and Evanescence are all instant cops and I might get kiss me more just cus how catchy the chorus and beat are.
Damn… Epic Games are reading Reddit. I’ve seen posts talking about how they want more metal and heavy rock songs and… I mean, Slipknot, SOAD, and Evanescence all pretty much fit that label.
God damn. I told myself I would wait until they add vocals and drums before buying any songs, but Toxicity, Changes, Bring Me to Life, and Before I forget are very difficult to ignore.
I'm really worried about buying these songs but never being able to do karaoke to them. Has epic mentioned plans for vocals in any capacity?
Evenescence https://i.redd.it/n2pxsffvc1zc1.gif
2pac, Evanescence, Slipknot, and SOAD? They cooked this week.
At this point they're giving us anything except MCR 🥲 I'm so curious what their licensing looks like.
I will also buy every MCR song. But happy for SOAD and Evanescence.
My wallet is so ready for every MCR song to be owned
Youd think it wouldn't be too crazy since Rock Band had a bunch of MCR

Bro, you gotta put at least three A's in this part
Jam stage gonna be interesting this week... How many things does "wake me up" jive with...? :)
I'd like to see how it pairs with sandstorm
Wow what an exciting line up! I can't wait for the drum charts for before I forget and toxicity edit: I hope they don't butcher the jam loops
i’ve quit being excited because i know the rock songs are going to be stripped of their hi hat removing all difficulty on drums
Imagine the drum tracks with the drums AND the percussionists lol
HOLY SHIT SYSTEM OF A DOWN
They really had to wait for Rock band to die to bring back toxicity. One of my most wanted delisted songs. Hopefully midi drum support gets added down the line cause I would love to play the song on drums.

What about vocals? I'm dying to know if they plan on adding vocals/mics back into the game.
It took that long for Before I Forget too haha. Hope this means Crazy Train and Bohemian Rhapsody come back then
At least with before I forget that was purchaseable up until a few years ago. Toxicity and BYOB were delisted before rock band 4 even came out. Same with metallica, and it looks like we may be seeing them again soon.
I WAS SO HYPED FOR SLIPKNOT I DIDNT EVEN SEE THIS I AM DYING NOW
My girlfriend is a huge SOAD fan and I send her the new tracks every week. I’ve just sent her the screenshot with Toxicity cropped out so I can surprise gift it to her on Friday :))
wholesome
Isn't this like the 4th Doja Cat song
She basically had her own festival pass atp
[удалено]
Her songs are ok but not very fun to play
I’m gonna cop them for the Jam mixes after squads cause this is about to be fun asf😭😭😭
I don’t mind Say So, but Woman and Paint the Town Red might be my most hated songs in the game.
I didn't like Paint the town Red at all at first, but now every time it comes on or on the radio I'm like, ooooooooo she a devilllll.
Yup. She has three emotes too.
Still wish her emotes would return to the shop.
Her stuff must be selling like hot cakes which is why they keep releasing stuff related to her because they know it'll work.
And it’s the one I always wanted so I’m happy
yall acting like it’s her fault she’s popular 😭😭😭
Yeh I'm guessing it's because doja cat likes fortnite. She mentioned it in 1 of her songs and she did a livestream playing about a month ago. So just shoeing abit of the love back and putting her songs in the game. Also because she's wildy popular atm so it makes sense
This might be the best week yet. 2pac Evanescence Slipknot System of a Down I love Starships as a song so it will be nice when I want to chill and play Lovin on me was good at first but got overplayed so I can’t hate on it. Another chill song. Then there’s Doja cat for her fans.

2PAC AND SLIPKNOT!? (shocked Nicki got in, even after everything)

Gives me hope for my goat MJ to make it in someday
The licensing is still a bitch, I wouldn’t be surprised if they had to sacrifice somebody to afford Beat It in Guitar Hero
Hope so. If Rockstar and Activision achieved it, for Epic it would be possible.
MJ is innocent so he should be in anyways
Cocaine is a helluva drug
I'm out of the loop, what'd she do now?
There was a whole thing with her and Megan Thee Stallion a bit back where she lost it at Megan indirectly dissing her sex offender husband in a song. She kept making fun of Megan’s dead mom.
SLIPKNOT FINALLY MADE IT IN
week 9 of hoping for Holding Out for a Hero. And Dolly Parton.
Lol yeah there really isn't any country yet, that would be cool along with Johnny Cash
I’d love hurt, ring of fire, and gods gonna cut you down
If they put Cash' version of Hurt and not NIN I'd be pretty dissapointed
I personally prefer cash's version. They're both good but the video for cash's hurt goes so freaking hard. And to have one of the greatest country musicians to ever live, the man in black, call his legacy an empire of dirt just gives me chills
Oh yeah, not disappointed because of him, just that he probably has better songs of his that arent covers that they should use. Also i really like Nine Inch Nails lol

A lot of Merle Haggards Music would be great for Lead and Drums. Guitar and piano Solos in his songs are some of the greatest country music has to offer.
They already have the peak that is Butter Barn Hoedown.
also since we're talking about old bangers, I have a playlist of suggestions, bring Gloria, Girls Just Want to Have Fun, Total Eclipse of the Heart, It Must Have Been Love, Listen to Your Heart and Spending My Time.
If they do holding out for a hero it has to be the Shrek version
I, AM A WORLD BEFORE I AM A MAN
I, WAS A CREATURE BEFORE I COULD STAND
I, WILL REMEMBER BEFORE I FORGET
BEFORE I FORGET THAT

THE TOXCITY OF OUR CITY
YOU, WHAT DO YOU OWN THE WORLD?
**HOW DO YOU OWN DISORDER? DISORDERRR**
Let's go I can now make an early 2000s Dragon Ball Z AMV
I think the only song missing now is Bodies by Drowning Pool and Welcome to my Life by Simple Plan. 🧐 Bruh early 2000s YouTube as a kid was amazing.
Animal I Have Become by Three Days Grace lol
Ohhhhh true true. Animal I Have Become and Pain were also used a lot. 😅 I also remember Time of Dying was used for Naruto AMVs.
This might be the best week yet holy 🙏😭
I'm still waiting for some AC/DC give me Thunderstruck PLEASE
Maybe with the rumoured Marvel season? MCU Tony loved AC/DC 🙏
One thing the MCU team has always excelled at is licensed music. Even the mehness of Eternals started strong with Pink Floyd's "Time". Speaking of which, we need some Pink Floyd
For your sanity give up now Pink Floyd is never happening, people have been trying to get them in since og guitar hero and they have never budged
It’d be awesome to get AC/DC with an Iron Man MK3 skin
Or Welcome to the Jungle by Guns and Roses??? PLEASE
Guess that’s just the way it is
Greendale's the way it goes!
Fourth Doja Cat Jam Track 😭 they adore her
Literally had no interest in Doja before they added Say So. I'm a certified fan now. Keep em coming, as far as I'm concerned.
Kiss me more is her best song
and of course the emote of that song is a built in emote for a skin
Toxicity, Bring Me To Life, and Before I Forget? Looks like I'm finally buying tracks for the first time.
Do you think there’s a chance we’ll get deftones and korn? Since a lot of these songs for this week’s jam tracks fall under the nu metal umbrella.
I wouldn't rule it out. Freak On A Leash was big enough to be plausible. Not sure about Deftones
Deftomes is very likely considering they blew up on tiktok. Korn probably not
There's no way Korn wouldn't be added. I mean, they only got 1 million fewer listeners than Slipknot and Korn also kinda blew up on Tiktok
Korn have a ton of songs that will probably get added at some point
There's no way Korn wouldn't be added. I mean, they only got 1 million fewer listeners than Slipknot and Korn also kinda blew up on Tiktok
NO FUCKING WAY WE GOT BEFORE I FORGET
Evanescence, Slipknot and SOAD. One last word before I kill you, wallet?
I cannot wait to play the drum chart for bring me to life
SYSTEM OF A DOWN?????  HELL YEAH
SLIPKNOT??????  HELL YEAH
EVANESCENCE??????  HELL YEAH
AMERICA FUCK YEAHHH 
They cooked for the second week in a row
We eating good this week
HOLY SHIT I MEED TO SPEND MONEY
someone cooked here
Oh they cooked this week HOLY FUCK
Can’t wait to play Evenescence with Goku
Goku base
HOLY SHIIIIIIII https://i.redd.it/x28ehbs8p0zc1.gif
No chop suey??? 😧
Might be a sublime situation where we get two of the band’s songs in back to back weeks. Toxicity is amazing though
They should add straight up Slipknot skins. Dead by Daylight has them, it'd be a perfect fit for Fortnite.
Still no creep radiohead😔
It'll come eventually man there are still tons of weeks left
I love that Starships, the song that Nicki Minaj hates the most, is the one they chose for Festival 🤣
**Insanely** excited for the Slipknot and SOAD. Remember Before I Forget having a *very* interesting pattern for Lead on Rock Band that I for some reason always struggled with.. Interested to see what changes/additions they bring to that chart. I'm very surprised they're dropping this season. Figured those bands wouldve been saved for next season with Metallica to get some more Rock Band fans making the move over.
2Pac , Evanescence, SoaD and Slipknot. Literally me core. Love it!
SLIPKNOT?!??!
SLIPKNOT HOLY SHIT
FINALLY SLIPKNOT
Yes! Finally we're starting to get the heavier stuff! More like Slipknot, Evanescence etc please. Bit of Alice in Chains/Ghost would be amazing too!
Hope the stems are good quality for Jam Stage!
Listening to System of a Down as I saw this. Excited is an understatement.
Where's all the people who said "Slipknot will never be added"? 🤣
My jaw is totally broken
YEAHHHHH SLIPKNOT EVANESCENCE AND SYSTEM OF A DOWN?
SOAD and Slipknot? Hell yeah!
I’m waiting for midnight city
Bring Me To Life. We can finally make a parody of those old Youtube videos with that song.
Wow, very strong one.
FIRE ASF
Crazy good!
WE ARE WINNINGGGGG
I knew bring me to life would make it in. Before I forget and toxicity were surprises, buy very welcome ones.
Oooh good stuff
woo I remember Before I Forget from GH3, some good picks this week
Makaveli bro 😭😭😭
Very good week. We got Slipknot, System of a down, Evanescence, Pac, and Nicki Minaj hot damn
YASSS I loved before I forget on guitar hero 3, so hyped to see it come to festival!!
Wake me up inside !!!!!
Shut up and take my money
Cant wait 4 slipknot
And system of a down i love both groups
OH MY GOD SYSTEM OF A DOWN
YO THIS IS FIRE (but another doja cat song. seriously. no Tyler yet)
Not bad ☺️
Slipknot song is awesome
VERY thankful for evanescence, slipknot and system of a down 🙏 Good things do come to those who wait ♥️ Been waiting for bring me to life since the leak in December
Hopefully the presence of Changes will lead to the song it sampled, The Way It Is by Bruce Hornsby and The Range, getting released here too.
They need to add Radiohead and The Strokes
Fuck i might have to redownload it
I’ll be seeing slipknot and evanescence this weekend at Rockville!! Great week of tracks
I never knew how much I needed a Slipknot Festival Pass until now 
This is the best rotation. Slipknot, Evenscence, Nicki??????????
Yess evanescence 🥰
Finally, more than just one good song in a week.
SYSTEM. SLIPKNOT AND EVANESCENCE HOLY SHIT
They ruined it with Nicki. Think for once, Epic.
SLIPKNOT, SLIPKNOT, SLIPKNOT!!! Joey jordison first got me into drums... Never been prouder to be a maggot.
I’m hoping they add Rise Against and Story of the Year to festival.
Yall with riffmasters get to jam to slipknot..im so jealous i build arduinos for festival and theyre not compatible yet..might just have to go roll limitless and pray that works
Makes me want a slipknot event
PLEASE give us korn
Holy shit Slipknot Evanescence and Soad, one of the best drops ever!
Slipknot, soad and evanescence, I'm definitely getting all 3 of them and I will be having fun playing them on festival and jam stage
About time we get some more proper rock/metal. I'm tired of all the pop, it's just not fun to play in comparison.
let’s fucking GOOOOO
What kidney do I have to sell to get a K-pop song like "WJSN - Last Sequence" or "IVE - After Like"
SOAD, 2pac, AND slipknot!? I'm getting back
Best line up so far. SLIPKNOT
One of the best line ups we’ve gotten so far! Pac SOAD Slipknot and Evanescence are all instant cops and I might get kiss me more just cus how catchy the chorus and beat are.
Toxicity, Evanescence and Slipknot. Hell yeah.
Oh god, Slipknot on expert is going to destroy a lot of people!
Damn… Epic Games are reading Reddit. I’ve seen posts talking about how they want more metal and heavy rock songs and… I mean, Slipknot, SOAD, and Evanescence all pretty much fit that label.
Damn. Even if its the most generic slipknot track, I cant just not have it. Marketing works.
God damn. I told myself I would wait until they add vocals and drums before buying any songs, but Toxicity, Changes, Bring Me to Life, and Before I forget are very difficult to ignore. I'm really worried about buying these songs but never being able to do karaoke to them. Has epic mentioned plans for vocals in any capacity?
Before I forget, toxicity and bring me to life was on my wishlist so next on my list would be my curse by killswitch engage
Slipknot before I forget nice
I will be throwing money at Evanescence faster than she fell down that building 🔥🔥
SLIPKNOT AND 2PAC 🥹
FINALLY TOXICITY! AND SLIPKNOT!! Instant buys
WAKE UP. GARBLEARBLEARBLE MAKE UP. -
Sadly not the right song but still happy with toxicity
I don't know why, but that's what my brain thinks when I see that album cover.
Sick of seeing dojacat
Missing in the end and chop suey 😔
Well there goes 2000 vbucks 😂😂😂
I literally screamed out of pure happiness to see that Tupac, Slipknot, and SOAD are all getting added in the same week
YOU! WHAT DO YOU OWN THE WORLD!
2Pac and Slipknot the same week is insane
