Re: Rock Band 2

There was talk of a "Guitar Hero" or "Rock Band" download of "Chinese Democracy." Is either going to happen?

There is talk about a "Rock Band" release, and they felt the record-based on the nature and complexity of the depth of instrumentation-deserved a bit more attention and some more involved elements than they've generally dealt with. I have no idea what that means but it's my understanding they were very enthusiastic. We're looking at a Feb. 28 release, according to [executives at MTV responsible for] "Rock Band." ["Rock Band" has since changed the release date to spring.]

Re: Rock Band 2

I would've DLed it if it was up for RB when it first came out. I think I'd rather have that older one of theirs,Destruction something or other. I hear it has this really cool song about a paradise with pretty girls and really green grass. Might've named that last Burnout game after it so that must've done fairly well.

Hey gang!

Here's an early morning surprise for you... an announcement of the DLC arriving on the week of 2/10! We're probably going to be posting the DLC announcements around this time (10am EST) for the foreseeable future in an attempt to sync up with the European rockers waiting for the announcements, so get up early and keep your eyes peeled on Fridays from now on.

This week we're releasing a 3 pack from The Fratellis, featuring tracks from their 2006 album Costello Music!

Here's the track listing


The Fratellis - Creeping Up the Back Stairs
The Fratellis - Flathead
The Fratellis - Henrietta

All tracks are original master recordings.

These tracks will be $1.99 (160 Microsoft Points) a piece, or $5.49 (440 Microsoft Points) for the full 3 pack.

Re: Rock Band 2

This might be the weakest DLC week I've seen since they started.

Only three songs by some Euro band. /twirls finger

I don't mind when they experiment with unknowns, I just wish they'd mix it up. Don't throw a whole week away.

I gotta say, after listening to them....they seem like they'd atleast be fun to play on guitar.

Re: Rock Band 2

I've heard these guys before. I think that first song was on a commercial. Maybe an ipod commercial. Not my cup of tea, but they aren't really obscure.

Re: Rock Band 2

A friend of mine is a big Fratellis fan, but I'm not real familiar with them. I'll probably pass on this.

I hope this does show up on XBL. I finally bought more Foo Fighters this past week and I have to say that these are some of the best songs on RB imo. I love the band, but only had purchased a few tracks in the past.

Re: Rock Band 2

I went on a DLC frenzy last night I bought all of these:

Belly - Feed The Tree
Foo Fighters - Monkey Wrench
Foo Fighters - My Hero
Judas Priest - You've Got Another Thing Comin'
Kiss - Calling Dr. Love
Offspring - Gone Away
Offspring - Self Esteem
Silversun Pickups - Well Thought Out Twinkles
Smashing Pumpkins - Siva
Smashing Pumpkins - Zero
Soundgarden - Jesus Christ Pose
Soundgarden - Pretty Noose
Stone Roses - Love Spreads
Stone Temple Pilots - Interstate Love Song
Stone Temple Pilots - Sex Type Thing

I figured since I needed to reload my MS points to pick up GTA IV: The Lost And The Damned next week, I might as well grab a 4000 point card and the spare 2400 points were burning a hole in the screen. So much more I want to pick up too, but I am going to pace myself!

Re: Rock Band 2

The Fratellis aren't unknown,they just didn't get the one known song wich had to be the most overplayed overused song of 2006/2007:

yeah, all my spare MS points now go to dlc songs for GH or RB. I need a new HDD too because of it. Between putting all the RB1 songs, the ACDC songs, and the other DLC on it, I'm almost out of space.
