Rock Band DLC Rumors
Posted on May 7th, 2009 4 commentsI’ve got word on a slew of possible DLC news for Rock Band next week. I’m going to throw it out here (thanks to the RockBand.com forums for supplying the rumor mill). Remember, none of this is confirmation, it’s pure speculation based on talks around the Interwebs.
Snoop Doggs greatest hits pack – Confirmed by HMX, but when will it come out? We anticipate just as Snoop starts his tour, which begins in June.
Grateful dead pack – Confirmed by HMX. They licensed 18 from them and we’ve gotten 13 already. Here’s what’s left to release:
Grateful Dead – “Scarlet Begonias”
Grateful Dead – “The Golden Road (To Unlimited Devotion)”
Grateful Dead – “Throwing Stones”
Grateful Dead – “Touch of Grey”
Grateful Dead – “U.S. Blues”
B-52′s – Confirmed by HMX in onsite interview. Don’t know what or when.Limp Bizkit – Rumored by Fred Durst on his Twitter, I’ve got a Tweet in to confirm. This would make sense since LB has a new long delayed album (with original members) due out soon.
Random songs on a ‘leaked list’ – There were originally 80 songs on this list, all but these have since been released:
Allman Brothers Band – “Whipping Post”
Bon Jovi – “Bad Medicine”
The Cure – “Just Like Heaven”
Fall Out Boy – “Dance, Dance”
Foo Fighters – “I’ll Stick Around”
Oasis - “Supersonic”
Pixies - “Where Is My Mind?”
Ramones - “Rock N Roll High School”
R.E.M. – “These Days”
R.E.M. – “What’s the Frequency, Kenneth?”
Taking Back Sunday – “What It Feels Like To Be A Ghost”
Yeah Yeah Yeahs – “Gold Lion”
Rolling Stones – “(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction”
Rolling Stones – “Brown Sugar”
Nirvana - “Come As You Are”
Nirvana – “Lithium”
Nirvana – “Smells Like Teen Spirit”
Indochine - “L’Aventurier”
Metallica - “King Nothing”Shaimus - “All of This” – Confirmed on the bands blog, not by HMX
Shaimus – “Tie You Down”thenewno2 - You Are Here(Album) – Confirmed by band on myspace page
“So Vain”
“Another John Doe”
“Back To You”
“Bluesy”
“Give You Love”
“Hiding Out”
“Idle Lover”
“Shelter”
“Wind Up Dead”Disturbed - Indestructible (Album) – David Draiman talks about this on RB special
“Deceiver”
“The Night”
“Haunted”
“Enough”
“The Curse”
“Torn”
“Criminal”
“Divide”
“Facade”These four songs were found on a copyright website saying that they have been released to the RB franchise:
Flyleaf - “All Around Me”
Flyleaf – “Fully Alive”
Eve 6 – “Inside Out”
Ministry - Jesus Built My HotrodGhostbusters Theme – Confirmed to be in the works by Ray Parker Jr. Makes sense since the video game is coming out soon, with lots of hype around it.
The Replacements, The Who – HMX mentioned in an interview that more was on the way.
Cake - The Distance – Email from the band stating RB tracks in the works.
2nd metal pack confirmed by HMX to OXM early early last year(seeing as how two of these were covers, most likely never seeing the light of day)
Metallica – “Fuel”
Iron Maiden – “Wrathchild”
Black Sabbath – “Supernaut”
The Haunted – “Shadow World”The Doors – Email exchange by Doors management that tracks were coming to RB
Skunk Anansie – “Brazen – Confirmed by Band in radio interview.
Pennywise - Confirmed by Band in magazine article
The Clash – Lost in the Supermarket – IGN interview
Sublime - email from band stating they have tracks in the works
Def Leppard – Console Hero interview
Anvil - Confirmed by Band on Myspace

Well, Pabel. Doesn’t look like this is going to be your week.
For me, I want: LB, Sublime, Cake, Fall Out Boy, Eve 6, and Bon Jovi.
I’m very excited for Snoop, but I really have to look at the charts. I’m having a hard time seeing how this will be fun for any instrument in the Rock Band 2 engine. Think about the Beastie Boys songs in the game, and those have actual guitars and drums in them.

Honestly, I don’t have a valid response to that other than “so….”
I agree, with Beastie’s track record, these line up to be duds, but I’m really excited about the vocals…any opportunity to sing a couple tracks from Doggystyle, DogFather, and the Murder was the Case soundtrack, and I’m quickly parting with some legal tender…..i guess I’m weak…
