There so much buzz around the Rock Band Network this week, I nearly forgot that we have our weekly regular DLC announcement. OK, I maybe I didn’t nearly forget, but I am pretty damn excited for the Rock Band Network to go live. There is going to be a LOT of content that you love on there, as well as even more content for you to explore. But we’re not talking about that now… we’re talking about next week’s DLC, so let’s get on with it…
- Blue Öyster Cult – “Godzilla”
- Blue Öyster Cult – “Transmaniacon MC”
- Hawkwind – “Master of the Universe”
- I Mother Earth – “Levitate”
- Motörhead – “Killed by Death ‘08”
- Nazareth – “Hair of the Dog” (2008 re-recording)
- Rage Against the Machine – “Bulls on Parade”

The holidays are over, New Year’s is over, and the year-end holiday hangover is now in effect. Let’s see if we can shake off that feeling of going back to work with some new Rock Band DLC…

- Alice In Chains – “Heaven Beside You”
- Alice In Chains – “Last of My Kind”
- Alice In Chains – “We Die Young”
- Alice In Chains – “Your Decision”

Fantastic Game
I was going to review LEGO Rock Band but if you don’t know what a Rock Band game is like by now then I can’t help you — and I know we all hate lists, but this is a strong one on reasons why you should buy LEGO Rock Band.
10.) You Are Supporting the “Not Having Seven ‘Hero’ Games a Year” Movement.
While Harmonix does indeed offer DLC every week, they do not over-saturate the rhythm market to the point of it being in your face every other month.
9.) Easy Achievements.
Its those great kind of achievements that you get just by playing the game. No searching every level for a hidden skull or any crap like that, just play your best and you’ll end up with more than half of the 1,000 gamerscore points.

8.) It’s For Everybody
Seriously, this game is for every single person, drunk players or families have lots of options:
‘Super Easy’ mode where players only have to strum the notes at the right time (you can hold down ANY fret button) There is an option available to automate the kick pedal for the drums for kids with short legs or those with leg disabilities. There’s a toggle for the short “radio edit” version of a track design for young children with short attention spans.
7.) Challenges
Yeah you go on tour, but while on tour there are many crazy challenges that await you. These challenges are a huge part of the game and make it a little different than playing regular Rock Band, in a fun way. An example: a song plays while you fight of a giant damn octopus! It’s cool, you still get money and fans.
6.) You Can Build Your Own LEGO Rock Band Bus
Similar to the figurines offered with Rock Band 2, you can make yourself a cool little pieces of memorabilia representing the game.
Side note: Worth mentioning because it’s cool, the LEGO Guitar
5.) Comparing Tracklists to the Nearest Competitor is Crazy
The best tracks from Band Hero (Devo – Whip It, Jackson 5- ABC, Joan Jett – Bad Reputation, The Mighty Mighty Bosstones – Impression That I Get, Spice Girls – Wannabe) are a fart in the wind to LEGO Rock Band’s tracks: Bryan Adams, Elton John, Queen (twice), Ray Parker Jr. with the Ghostbusters Theme, and even Carl Douglas (you may know him as the ‘Kung Fu Fightin’‘ guy). There are too many to list. Tracks alone should lure you into getting this game.
4.) Jimi Hendrix
Sure, Guitar

Man, we’re already into the final week of November, and then only one month left of 2009. Next week, I’m going to do a rundown of how Harmonix is doing on the “1,000 DLC tracks by year end” goal. But for now, let’s find out what’s coming out next week for DLC. Looks like Tom Petty indeed made it into the DLC offerings, as rumored here. What else can we expect?
Xbox 360, PS3, Wii:
- Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers – “A Thing About You (live)”*
- Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers – “American Girl (live)”
- Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers – “Even the Losers (live)”
- Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers – “Here Comes My Girl (live)”*
- Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers – “Mary Jane’s Last Dance (live)”
- Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers – “Refugee (live)”*
- Kelly Clarkson – “Miss Independent”*
- P!nk – “Who Knew”*
- The Go-Go’s – “Our Lips Are Sealed”*
* Denotes tracks that are Family Friendly and capable of being played in Lego Rock Band.
The Tom Petty 6 pack will be $9.99 or 800 MS Points.
There doesn’t appear to be any Rock Band: Unplugged DLC tracks for next week. I will update if that changes.

Dave Grohl... right?
If you pay even a little attention to the weekly DLC announcements, I’m sure you’re aware of the amount of Foo Fighters tracks that have been released for Rock Band. I once gave away a Pepsi code in the summer to whoever could tell me how many Rock Band songs Dave Grohl was in. I think the correct answer was 34… and this was before the most recent Foo Fighters DLC and the Tenacious D song Tribute (for which he also contributes). I think that takes us up to about 38 tracks now. So yeah, having Dave Grohl comment in an interview (on MTV no less) that he likes Rock Band is not the most shocking of statements.
