Pleased to see the Blind Melon song on there , the rest does nothing for me.
Not a huge foo fighters fan , but they might be fun to play.

There's too much f*cking Foo Fighters on this game already. They got a full album and tons of other DLC, and now they're getting 3 more songs? Ridiculous.

I'm assuming if it was a band you loved, you wouldn't care. You could easily say there's too much Rush up, or too much Megadeth. If peace it sells, keep supplying!

This is the sort of game that's supposed to appeal to everyone though, across all genres of rock music. It's just too much bloody Foo Fighters. There's not nearly the same amount of Megadeth or Rush up compared to them anyway.

Popular bands sell well as seen here by Keldon DLC popularity list.

Foo Fighters songs sell well and they obviously have no problem licensing their songs; makes financial sense to release more songs.
Iron Maiden (44K across 360, PS3) hasn't exactly set the DLC charts on-fire compared to Journey (190K) which was released around the same time.

D4RK ONION

As wonderful as Harmonix are, you need to remember, they're a business, and despite all the PR, they are looking for the same thing every other business is. Profit. And if Foo Fighters bring in the profit, then Foo Fighters stay in the DLC charts for-everlong. If Rush roll in the moo-lah then they will remain in the limelight.

I feel dirty after those puns...

Ah, this song reminds me of gunning down criminals in a military helicopter, stored in my desert hangar. San Andreas, you legendary game you...

Pearl Jam - Backspacer to be released on sunday

For the first time ever, Harmonix will be releasing a full album as DLC for Rock Band in conjunction with the album's general release.

Pearl Jam's new album, 'Backspacer', will hit the Rock Band Store on Sunday - the same day the album hits the shelves in stores.

For lucky US folk, a special edition can be purchased at Target for $29.99 and will include a code to download the full album DLC.

The full track listing is:

Gonna See My Friend
Got Some
The Fixer
Johnny Guitar
Just Breathe
Amongst the Waves
Unthought Known
Supersonic
Speed of Sound

The End

Though the price for the full album via the Rock Band Store is yet too be revealed, I think it goes without saying that each track will cost 160 MSP.

Doubt ill be getting the whole thing, the fixer and just breath could be good ones though.

D4RK ONION

I just amn't that much of a pearl jam fan. That song "Alive" just drooooones on and ooooon... Wont be touching these.

ongarite

Are 3 of those songs cover versions (SuperSonic, Speed of Sound & The End) or are they just named after famous songs by well known bands?

D4RK ONION

From what I can tell, they're not covers

I hope you're talking about Breaking Benjamin there and not Alice in Chains!

robby^5

It's about damn time Alice in Chains got a little more Rock Band love, I'll be getting all 5 of those songs.

Still though, Dirt needs to be full album download.

+1 for more songs off dirt, godsmack would be ace ..... the song not the band of the same name, though mind you Awake by Godsmack would be hella cool to play especially the breakdown in the middle

Guess ill never see any deftones in these games :mad:
but I can live in hope :pac:

D4RK ONION

With this new rock band network, I'd expect you'll see a lot more names being dropped into the hole, don't give up hope just yet!

Stop it, or i'll be thinking we'll see glassjaw in RB before we see their 3rd album ............... I know what is more likely though :rolleyes:

calex71

I just noticed the deal of the week this week is 25% off GH dlc :mad:

Why couldn't it be RB

D4RK ONION

Pretty clear that XBL pushing GH at the moment, what with the ingame avatars actually giving the stupid little things a slight reason to exist.
