THIS WEEK IN ROCK BAND! Just when you thought, No Doubt would be the big news of the week, we get confirmation of some country songs next week…and the big news for me, the Foo Fighters album Colour & the Shape is on sale 25% of regular DLC pricing.


Foo Fighters:
Major Nelson has released this weeks Xbox Live Deals, and it focuses around several rhythm games (GHWT, RB, and American Idol). The GHWT and Idol stuff is just for Asian regions. The Rock Band stuff is for the rest of the world. I’m psyched, since I have not picked up the Foo Fighters album yet. I will likely be coughing up some $$ to buy some MS points this week. This deal is too good.

The following deals of the week are are now on sale:

Looking  for some No Doubt MP3′s?  Pick ‘em all up in our Amazon Music Store for cheap money.

Six, you heard it right, six albums are on their way to take away your MS Points (or cash if you roll the PS3 way).

Officially announced today over at the Rock Band forums, keep an open watch for these tasty morsels.
Red Hot Chili Peppers – Blood Sugar Sex Magik
Foo Fighters – The Colour and The Shape
Megadeth – Peace Sells… But Who’s Buying
Stevie Ray Vaughn – Texas Flood
Jane’s Addiction – Nothing’s Shocking
No Doubt – special best-of pack

So what do you think? Are they winners, or do they blow goats?

For me, Blood Sugar Sex Magik was a favorite during high school, and an all time favorite.  Sold!  Peace Sells was also big during those days, but I was never huge into Megadeth….but, to be true, I do own the CD used to own the cassette (yes tape), so I’ll likely pick it up.  I will likley pick up them all, but RHCP is the only one that jumps right out at me.
