Re: Rock Band 2

Ahoy hoy,

Since this week is truncated for us on account of a fairly sizable holiday, you get next week's DLC announcement a few days early!

Our next batch of DLC features a trifecta of classic rock tracks from such notable bands as Jethro Tull, Deep Purple, and James Gang. Additionally, a single from Scottish alternative rock group Snow Patrol's latest record will be up for your rocking pleasure.

The full list is as follows:

Deep Purple - "Space Truckin'"
James Gang - "Funk #49"
Jethro Tull - "Hymn 43"
Snow Patrol - "Take Back the City"

All songs will be available for 160 MS points on Xbox Live Marketplace, and $1.99 on the PlayStation Network.

The release dates for these songs will be December 30th on Xbox Live Marketplace, and January 8th on the PlayStation Network, due to Sony being on holiday next week.

OH MY GOD! I KNOW JAMES GANG! Most everyone has atleast heard it once.

That is amazing. Should be a blast to play on guitar.

It's in that thread, I think confirmed by Sean on page 7 or 8.

James Gang and Deep Purple are no brainers.

Everytime I hear that James Gang song I think of Dazed and Confused. (great movie, and still the best movie soundtrack ever)

Re: Rock Band 2

I'll definitely get the James Gang song.

Re: Rock Band 2

James Gang and Deep Purple for me. I would've been more excited for them if I had not just read Born to Run will be free in GH before reading about those 2. Good to have both games.

Is it just me.. or can you not play any DLC unless you're connected to XBox Live?

Also, does anyone have a list of the complete DLC?

Did your 360 break or did you DL it to your HD on someone elses system?

If you don't already have some Boston, The Who, or The Grateful Dead then I would recommend those.

Add Mr. Brightside, Afterlife, and Under the Bridge to that list as well.

I got the 2 pack at best buy the other day. It's awkward getting used to them at first, but I am really liking them. At first I was on the fence, and they are unnessary, but they are fun. Having the green cymbal is great because it's easier to hit it quickly than it is to reach all the way down for the pad.

Also, cymbal rolls are cake on the actual cymbals as opposed to trying to do them on the pad. They're super responsive and solidly mounting. I read on Amazon that some people have had them slipping down after hitting them a few times, but as long as you snap the bracket together all the way, everything should be fine. Mine don't move at all.

I'm on the fence about adding the ride/blue cymbal. I have it set for hi hat/yellow and crash/green, but you can set them up however you want. The blue topper was included, so you are free to do anything.
