Rock Band Weekly Update – November 13th Edition
By Joe Haygood | November 13, 2009
This week in the Rock Band marketplace, we have a new five pack from the band AFI, and a track from The Bangles.
AFI fans will have a chance to rock out to such tunes as “Beautiful Thieves”, “End Transmission” and “Love Like Winter” to name a few. If you are a Bangles fan, you will get your chance to rock out “Walk Like and Egyptian”. And just for those paying attention, Susanna Hoffs was totally looking at me in that video. “Walk Like an Egyption” will also be playable in Lego Rock Band.
If you have Rock Band Unplugged on the PSP, you will have a chance to grab “California uber Alles” by Dead Kennedys and “Your No Rock n’ Roll Fun” by Sleater-Kinney.
Check the jump for the full press release with pricing info.

Harmonix has announced another DLC album coming to The Beatles: Rock Band next week. This time around we will get the chance to complete the Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band album.
The Sgt. Pepper’s album DLC will finish off the album collection, and includes such hits at “When I’m Sixty Four”, “Lovely Rita” and “A Day In The Life” to name a few. You can purchase tracks individually, or in a “Complete The Album” pack if you have an Xbox 360 or Playstation 3.
Pricing for individual tracks is standard Rock Band pricing, with each track costing 200 Wii Points, 160 MS Points or $1.99 on the PS3. The “Complete The Album” download will be 1080 MS Points or $13.49 on the PS3.

Rock Out for Real with Rock Band 3?
By Vikki Blake | November 11, 2009
It was only a matter of time before someone saw the value in marrying insanely popular fake-guitar-playing games and actual musical instruction, but it seems as though that time is coming sooner rather than later with Rock Band 3 aiming to be more than just a bit of fun in its next incarnation.
Dhani Harrison, son of Beatle George and a musician in his own right, not only confirms the existence of Rock Band 3, but also goes on to explain its potential educational merit. “I’m working on Rock Band 3 and making the controllers more real so people can actually learn how to play music while playing the game,” Harrison told the Chicago Tribune this week. “Give me a couple years, it’s going to happen.”
Considering his significant involvement and contributions to the Beatles: Rock Band, he does seem well placed to know what’s happening behind the scenes.
Whilst this throws up the question of whether people actually want to learn when they’re unwinding playing video games, the concept of learning how to play a real instrument at the same time as rocking out with friends is undoubtedly an interesting one. Considering the significantly bad press these types of games have, including criticism from (usually aging) rock stars themselves, I can’t wait to see if and when instructional music games hit the shelves. How about you?

Review: The Beatles: Rock Band (PS3)
By Stephen Munn | November 9, 2009The Long and Winding Road
If you’re not familiar with Harmonix’s work on the Guitar Hero franchise and its various branchings, here’s a quick primer. Harmonix had a runaway hit with their Guitar Hero rhythm game which featured a special guitar controller, and it made Activision a great deal of money. The software was made by the rhythm game masters at Harmonix, the guitar was made by peripheral masters RedOctane, and the Guitar Hero brand was owned by publishing master Activision. MTV decided to get in on the action, so they bought Harmonix. In what looked at the time like a panic, Activision bought RedOctane. Most of us wondered what would happen next, now that RedOctane, Harmonix, and Guitar Hero could no longer work together. What happened was Rock Band.
Rock Band Weekly Update – November 6th Update
By Joe Haygood | November 6, 2009This week, we have three bands releasing tracks on the Rock Band marketplace, including The White Strips, Kasabian and The Damned. The White Stripes make their debut in Rock Band with a three track song back, that includes “Dead Leaves and Dirty Ground”, “Girl, You Have No Faith In Medicine” and “Icky Thump”. All but “Icky Thump” will be available in Lego Rock Band.
For those of you that have Rock Band Unplugged on the PSP will have two new tracks to add to their library. The first is “Excuse Me Mr.” from No Doubt and “I’m Shipping Up To Boston” by the Dropkick Murphys.
All tracks are 160 Microsoft points, 200 Wii points or $1.99 on PS3. The three White Strips tracks can be had in a package on the PS3 and 360 for $5.49 and 440 Microsoft points depending on platform.
First thirty: The Beatles: Rock Band (PS3)
By Stephen Munn | October 31, 2009
The Beatles: Rock Band is a pretty polarizing game. While nobody seems to see it as a bad game, the limitations on it that isolate it from the rest of the Rock Band product line have created some amount of frustration among those who’ve fallen for that Rock Band magic. Then, there are those of us who’ve never played Rock Band, have stopped playing Guitar Hero, and instead are hopelessly hooked on SingStar. This is where I fit in.
You see, part of the appeal of The Beatles: Rock Band is you don’t need to buy the instruments if you don’t want to play them. If you have a pair of SingStar microphones, you’re totally set. You can play The Beatles: Rock Band like it’s a SingStar game, with some minor adjustments. Well, maybe not so minor. OK, so I’m still trying to get it to work exactly right, but I think it’s my own fault.
Rock Band DLC: October 30th Edition
By Joe Haygood | October 30, 2009This week, we have a plethora of bands coming to the Rock Band marketplace. First off is a four pack of Foo Fighters songs, followed up by a trio of Nirvana tracks. And finally we have a track from Joan Jett and The Blackhearts, which will also work with Lego Rock Band.

Loosely Halloween-related Rock Band DLC
By Vikki Blake | October 23, 2009
Today Harmonix/MTV Games announced their Halloween-themed DLC pack. And by Halloween-themed, I really mean in a very-very-loosely-connected-by-means-of-slightly-spooky-artist-names kind of way.
Up for offer are three tracks from Rob ZOMBIE (omg! Zombies!), five from WOLFmother (WOLVES! aaaargh!) and . . . um, tracks from the decidedly less amusingly-titled artists Liz Phair and Morningwood. All will be available over the next week in time for your Halloween rock-outs.
Hit the jump for the details.
Abbey Road DLC for The Beatles: Rock Band Gets a Trailer
By Joe Haygood | October 20, 2009If you have been under a rock the last month or so, you might not have realized that the Abbey Road album was coming to The Beatles: Rock Band today. To celebrate the occasion, Harmonix has put together a new trailer highlighting the new tracks that you will get to play, along with the new dreamscapes that will accompany the tracks.
The DLC is running about 1320 points or $15.99 on either the Xbox Live Marketplace or Playstation Network for the “Complete the Album” deluxe package. Individual tracks are available on Wii, Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 for 200 points, $1.99, or 16o MS Points.
Now we just wait for the official word from Vikki and Jordan on the verdict with the additional tracks.
Full Lego Rock Band Track List Available
By Joe Haygood | October 12, 2009
After waiting for some time, it appears that we now have a full list of all the tracks that will now be available for Lego Rock Band when it comes out, and the list is actually pretty good. There seems to be something for everyone who is out there in plastic instrument land. There is some Queen, a dash of Elton John, a little bit of The Automatic, and yes, even some Ray Parket, Jr.
Also, it appears that the tracks will definitely import into Rock Band for a $10 fee. This is a little higher than the transfer fee that accompanied the original Rock Band import, but it seems that $10 is the new $5 when it comes to DLC charges. Also, it appears that there is a DS version that I was totally unaware of, that will come with 25 tracks.
Importing songs will only be available for the 360 and PS3 versions of Lego Rock Band, along with access to additional tracks via the marketplace. Does this mean that there will be a separate list of tracks that will be DLC for Lego Rock Band, and regular Rock Band. Add that to The Beatles: Rock Band, and you now have three separate Rock Band licensed marketplaces out there for music. Am I the only one that finds that a bit strange?
