Rock Band

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

I Predict A Riot and There's No Other Way are both rather excellent on bass.

FUCKING HELL.

• Avenged Sevenfold – “Bat Country”

(All tracks are original master recordings)

These tracks will be available for purchase as Talking Heads Pack 01 and as individual tracks on Xbox 360 and PLAYSTATION 3 system.

I will buy pretty much all of these. This is one hell of a week

EDIT: It's starting to look like the list of artists scheduled to be coming 'soon' will be coming a lot sooner than thought. I mean seriously, Tom Petty last week, Talking Heads this week (and some would say that isn't even the best DLC this week) so maybe we'll see Nirvana, White Stripes or something else next week

Was the Playstation Store updated yesterday, as for some reason I couldn't find the new Rock Band tracks(namely Rebel Yell) last night or this morning for that matter.

And about damn time Bat Country gets added, now all I need is Gunslinger, Scream, Beast and the Harlot, and Trashed and Scattered(though that will never happen) and all my Avenged Sevenfold wants will be fulfilled.

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

The Jam and most of Talking Heads means an expensive week coming up....

Some more Lego:Rock Band songs have been leaked

David Bowie - Let's Dance

Elton John - Crocodile Rock

Iggy Pop - The Passenger

The Police - Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic

Queen - We Are the Champions

Queen - We Will Rock You

T. Rex - Ride a White Swan

And someone has confirmed that they're exportable, but likely as a unique exportable thing so you can't just trade it in afterwards ¬_¬

In other news a Queen 10 pack has been announced, but the only song confirmed is Under Pressure (so we have a 12 pack if we count the L:RB songs)

And according to rumours the Rock Band: Unplugged songs are going to be released in September (but it's looking very likely like they'll be 9/8's dlc)

[Nimrodic]

Well, I know that my bro is going to bug the living hell outta me to get the Queen pack. So there goes a $20 network card when that comes out now, and I'll probably spend the $60 on Lego Rock Band as it was fun to play at SDCC.

So The Beatles Rock Band is pretty amazing.

Not being a huge Beatles fan I wasn't going to pick it up, but everything is so well done. The presentation is amazing. This makes all of Guitar Hero's band specific titles look like complete rubbish.

[GoGo Yubari]

Okay, how do you get every game early? WHAT IS YOUR SECRET.

I'm hoping it's at the Penny Arcade Expo this weekend, but the problem is I'd need four people and the ability to stand in the long-ass lines Rock Band always gets (as opposed to the... nonexistant lines Guitar Hero had last year).

[Crybaby Bunting]

Apparently a Japanese magazine has accidentally leaked next weeks DLC

Which supposedly includes Jackson 5's ABC and a Freezepop 3 pack

[Captain Eo]

I have a few methods.

But this time around was 7 Eleven. I've lucked out with this and Batman so far.

If that doesn't work there's usually always someone on Craigslist who knows someone else that can get me it early.

I don't want any fucking Jackson 5 DLC.

Give me The Jacksons "This Place Hotel", or something by Michael that isn't "Smooth Criminal" or "Beat It."

Freezepop however, can someone get me a new pair of pants?

[zero]

I thought ABC was going to be on Lego Rock Band? Or was it a different Jackson 5 song?

[Crybaby Bunting]

You are indeed mistaken, Lego: Rock Band gets 'I Want You Back' by the Jackson 5

Which is infinitely superior I believe ¬_¬

[Crybaby Bunting]

Turns out the leak was right.

Tracks available on Xbox 360 (Sept. 8) and PLAYSTATION 3 system (Sept. 10):

Freezepop – “Get Ready 2 Rokk” *

Freezepop – “Less Talk More Rokk” *

Freezepop – “Science Genius Girl” *

Jonathan Coulton – “Re: Your Brains” *

MC Frontalot – “Origin of Species” *

Paul & Storm – “Opening Band” *

3 Doors Down – “Kryptonite”

AFI – “Miss Murder”

Audioslave – “Gasoline”

Jackson 5 – “ABC”

Freezepop, Audioslave and Jackson 5!

But it comes out on the same day as The Beatles: Rock Band so naturally I'll not bother with DLC for a few weeks ¬_¬

EDIT: Freezepop songs are 80msp each so I WILL HAVE TO GET THEM

I hate retreads, but Freezepop are awesome, and at least they're cheap. Me and my housemate used to play Less Talk More Rokk way too often, loved the slow-build intro.

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

Mmmmmmmmm Freezepop. Always a bonus high point of the earlier Guitar Heros and I've played Sprode to death on Rock Band so these three will please me, especially Less Talk More Rokk.

"So throw your panties on the stage......No wait, you're underage"......Awesome.

[Kaney]

Awesome, I love Less Talk More Rokk, and it might not be Cochise, but any Audioslave is awesome by me.

[Cactus Drags]

Cochise would be a retread :@

Gasoline is fine, first album is fine.

[Kaney]

Cochise would be the most fantastic retread ever. I'd learn drums just to play that intro.

[GoGo Yubari]

Okay, I've played the following songs on The Beatles: Rock Band;

- Helter Skelter (vocals)

- Yellow Submarine (guitar)

- Back in the USSR (bass)

- I Saw Her Standing There (bass)

- And Your Bird Can Sing (guitar)

Highlight is that they include Ringo Starr's "I'VE GOT BLISTERS ON ME FINGERS" on the vocal track so you get to scream along with that at the end of the song. Game's pretty fun all in all (harmony vocals rule but will be hard to actually pull off), and I'm definitely looking forward to getting to properly explore it once I get it in the mail.

Cochise would be the most fantastic retread ever. I'd learn drums just to play that intro.

I hadn't considered the multi-instrument angle, that would indeed be quality.
