Rock Band - July 8th Tracks Announced Written Friday, July 04, 2008 by Dan Webb Rock Band will be receiving a further 4 songs this coming July 8th. The tracks this week are the usual 160 MSP and are all master versions. The 4 songs are as follows:
Red Hot Chili Peppers - Snow (Hey Oh)
So there you have it, two fantastic Chili Pepper tunes and some old skool Rush. Not a bad week to be honest. If you haven't listend to the Chili's Stadium Arcadium, do it now as both the Chili's tracks this week are lifted off that hugely popular double CD. Enjoy! Thanks to prowlerdante for the heads-up. | |

 | Comment #1 by Badlandz Friday, July 04, 2008 @ 08:03:03 PM Gr8...Not. |
 | Comment #2 by narcolepticshee Friday, July 04, 2008 @ 08:03:08 PM Not a big fan of the chilli's :( Still, adding this to the list still makes an absolutely amazing selection of downloads Peace |
 | Comment #3 by CloseChief Friday, July 04, 2008 @ 08:07:15 PM they should put more of the strokes in here. they should put the song "someday" and "razorblade" |
 | Comment #4 by ZERoANTHeM Friday, July 04, 2008 @ 08:08:00 PM 2 good chilli's songs for the fans, but agreeing with #2, still makes a great collection of DLC for the game, nice job :D |
 | Comment #5 by trekker1303 Friday, July 04, 2008 @ 08:08:42 PM Again, more songs that DON'T make me want to spend 160 bucks on Rock Band. |
 | Comment #6 by Bondfan626 Friday, July 04, 2008 @ 08:11:09 PM Working Man is not worth re buying, as it was already DLC. |
 | Comment #7 by My BR Is Evil Friday, July 04, 2008 @ 08:11:42 PM Sweet good songs, not a bad price. The Strokes suck though |
 | Comment #8 by workbench Friday, July 04, 2008 @ 08:14:54 PM i want editors and white stripes. |
 | Comment #9 by PHIN1SH Friday, July 04, 2008 @ 08:15:08 PM Man I hate Snow. Its so annoying |
 | Comment #10 by nfgmusicPaul Friday, July 04, 2008 @ 08:15:17 PM PEARL JAM!!!!! |
 | Comment #11 by StolenKyle/ Friday, July 04, 2008 @ 08:24:41 PM Love closer to the heart!! :) woot. |
 | Comment #12 by True Marvellous Friday, July 04, 2008 @ 08:29:14 PM Yay Chillies!!! |
 | Comment #13 by Matthias42 Friday, July 04, 2008 @ 08:35:27 PM trekker if you aren't interested in buying the game why do you read the news posts? Cause "a" song you really like wouldn't be a reason to spend 160 either |
 | Comment #14 by INSANEKID13 Friday, July 04, 2008 @ 08:43:24 PM nice addition to the list |
 | Comment #15 by Mercutio111 Friday, July 04, 2008 @ 08:46:43 PM tell me baby, whats your story!! where ya come from and where u wanna go etc etc... wooooo!! |
 | Comment #16 by AlphaDog Deluxe Friday, July 04, 2008 @ 08:50:24 PM @5 Is there really a song that WOULD make you want to spend 160 dollars? It's about the EXPERIENCE MANNNNNNNNN |
 | Comment #17 by Tenacious Friday, July 04, 2008 @ 09:01:12 PM Wasn't Working Man already released? Meh, anyway, I'm a huge RHCP fan, and they are two great songs, but I'd love to see some of their older stuff on Rock Band. I forgot the album Fight Like a Brave is on, but that's a great song and album. :P |
 | Comment #18 by Jmashed Friday, July 04, 2008 @ 09:25:32 PM I like Rockband and all but we REALLY need some heavier songs. I'm sure I ain't the only one who wants this, but seeing songs like this for download every week makes me hate this game that much more(but that's just me talking). I don't have anything against these bands, I just think the developers could appeal to a larger audience if they add some more metal. |
 | Comment #19 by theforcemonkey Friday, July 04, 2008 @ 09:33:14 PM I was initially confused about Working Man as well - according to the Rockband forums, it's a master track from the Rush Vault - it's never been released before. Not only is it the master track, but the guitar solo is completely new. I'm a little irked at having bought the cover, but I might drop the $2 for a master that I've never even heard before. |
 | Comment #20 by Mullock94 Friday, July 04, 2008 @ 09:34:34 PM shit |
 | Comment #21 by Soriya Friday, July 04, 2008 @ 09:43:41 PM Unlike the other Rush tracks available, thankfully these aren't covers. As good as they are, it just isn't the same. An alternate master recording is a nice bonus as well. |
 | Comment #22 by Honkymagoo Friday, July 04, 2008 @ 09:56:25 PM Fuck yeah! I love Rush. Seeing them live on the 12th. |
 | Comment #23 by dim2192 Friday, July 04, 2008 @ 09:59:27 PM Good music this week. Whoever said The Strokes suck needs to stop listening to Justin Timberlake and hang himself immediately. |
 | Comment #24 by pauly_27 Friday, July 04, 2008 @ 10:01:37 PM No Decent free stuff? Hate to say it, but I'm prefering GH 3's DLC at the moment. |
 | Comment #25 by Zoc Friday, July 04, 2008 @ 10:02:23 PM good week for rock band |
 | Comment #26 by Lazislost Friday, July 04, 2008 @ 10:18:37 PM We need some Gatsby's American Dream. That band has got to be one of the best out there. Look um up. |
 | Comment #27 by crunchb3rry Friday, July 04, 2008 @ 10:50:17 PM Fight Like A Brave was from What Hits I think. I don't like that one though. I think Under The Bridge needs to be there. That would be just as fun in Rock Band as on a real guitar. Soul To Squeeze would be cool but I think that's a slide guitar song and might not work well. Then again, Cheat On The Church was in Guitar Hero and that was a slide guitar song. That was my favorite track on the first game. |
 | Comment #28 by braddelo Friday, July 04, 2008 @ 10:53:08 PM "No Decent free stuff? Hate to say it, but I'm prefering GH 3's DLC at the moment." Hahahahahahahahahaha. Have fun with Coldplay cheapskate. |
 | Comment #29 by xesx StarFox Friday, July 04, 2008 @ 11:07:08 PM What are you talking about Rush is freaking awesome. Saw them in concert twice. They need 2112 as a downloadble song. That would be hilarious since it is over 20 minutes long. |
 | Comment #30 by DaJoernIdentity Friday, July 04, 2008 @ 11:21:12 PM nice some good music from rock band finally |
 | Comment #31 by squirreltakos Friday, July 04, 2008 @ 11:28:14 PM keep em comming |
 | Comment #32 by Pantera Opeth Friday, July 04, 2008 @ 11:35:54 PM How about a nice variety pack like songs from Fleetwood Mac, Pantera, Soilwork, White Stripes, Breaking Benjamin, Sonata Arctica. RHCP are decent, wish there were more of their "older" stuff though, Rush is always good to have more of. |
 | Comment #33 by thieflordgamer Friday, July 04, 2008 @ 11:44:03 PM Yes, a couple of my favs from Stadium Arcadium! And more Rush This is the best week in my opinion in a while! i already downloaded Working Man but if there is a new solo I'll definitely have to get the new one seeing how I'm a huge Rush fan. Alex Lifeson FTW |
| Comment #34 by ssj27 Friday, July 04, 2008 @ 11:45:58 PM getting both chili peppers, really nice to see =D |
 | Comment #35 by SjFloyd Saturday, July 05, 2008 @ 12:02:03 AM OMG Yes! Except they could of picked better songs... |
 | Comment #36 by SlinksNine Saturday, July 05, 2008 @ 12:03:43 AM Wow, amazing songs this week. :) |
 | Comment #37 by Lonsta DaMonsta Saturday, July 05, 2008 @ 12:30:46 AM LOL @ 24... I'm glad to see he likes about 3-5 songs per month released compared to 20+ in Rock Band... That's the thing that sucks about today's modern rock age. Most people prefer to listen to melodic-less bands than the truly talented Rush. Speaking of Rush, I hope Subdivisions makes an appearance on Rock Band 2 :D |
 | Comment #38 by Motrahtox Saturday, July 05, 2008 @ 12:58:23 AM Rush is probably one of my top favorite bands and if there was any song that I feel would be really fun on Rock Band its The Spirit of Radio and even The Trees would be a fun time if not hilarious at the same time. A song about politics between the Maples and the Oaks in the forest is some funny stuff. I think Rush may have been smoking some "trees" when writing that one. |
 | Comment #39 by StephenJ360 Saturday, July 05, 2008 @ 01:12:05 AM Gotta love RHCP |
 | Comment #40 by Tobi Saturday, July 05, 2008 @ 01:17:51 AM I wasn't a big fan of Rush before Rock Band, but I guess they changed my mind, didn't they =D Definitely picking up all four tracks next weekend (pay day!). |
| Comment #41 by Jackel2556 Saturday, July 05, 2008 @ 01:21:16 AM GUNS N' ROSES! GUNS N' ROSES!!!! |
 | Comment #42 by wastedkila Saturday, July 05, 2008 @ 01:35:42 AM yes finally some rhcp!!! |
 | Comment #43 by Dead by Don Saturday, July 05, 2008 @ 04:53:26 AM OH Yeah, I see some love for RUSH, which is always nice. I really can't wait now for Tuesday. I'm going to have a grin the entire time playing Closer to the Heart. |
 | Comment #44 by evanevanevan Saturday, July 05, 2008 @ 05:30:38 AM "Fight Like a Brave" is on "What Hits" but its from an earlier album. Also RHCP haven't made a good album since Californication, and even that paled in comparison to BloodSugarSexMagic and before. |
 | Comment #45 by Krymson Fury Saturday, July 05, 2008 @ 05:51:32 AM Well i expect to get flamed for this but id really like to see some TOOL or at least some A Perfect Circle or Ashes Divide sometime in the near future I am excited about these new releases though |
 | Comment #46 by BULLITUARY Saturday, July 05, 2008 @ 05:54:50 AM Closer to the Heart is an awesome song |
 | Comment #47 by SoulProphet85 Saturday, July 05, 2008 @ 06:33:06 AM bah, i don't really download any songs for rock band anyways. Only if they are free (which they are not). I only got Paramore's CrushCrushCrush, All American Rejects' Move Along and Dirty Little Secret and let's not forget the only free song on Rock Band DLC at the moment, GLaDO's Still Alive. If they feature more of the mainstream hits of today, then maybe i will consider it. I don't really like the classics that much to pay a dollar for something i have never heard before. |
 | Comment #48 by SW33TL0U Saturday, July 05, 2008 @ 07:30:06 AM I'd like to see stadium arcadiun, instead of tell me baby. That song is the best song off of the latest RHCP album. |
 | Comment #49 by xCOBRAx Saturday, July 05, 2008 @ 07:57:46 AM without a doubt one of the best packs they have released. the unfortunate thing of our era is that most of the music sucks...the peppers will be one of the bands that our kids will listen to and im ecstatic that they got some more songs on this game |
 | Comment #50 by Darth Heyburt Saturday, July 05, 2008 @ 08:53:56 AM When the feck are they going to sign up some british bands that aren't 10 years old....or more. Hard Fi Arctic Monkeys Libertines/Babyshambles I can think of plenty of songs from their libraries that would make perfect rock banding. |
| Comment #51 by guitarlord Saturday, July 05, 2008 @ 08:57:12 AM V.nice- however- WHERE IS THE G'n'R? We want Appetite for destruction- I say bring on the Mr. Brownstone-also some Alter Bridge would be cool :) |
 | Comment #52 by empire1341 Saturday, July 05, 2008 @ 09:22:48 AM I think they need sum biffy clyro or bullet for my valentine. Like the chili peppers though, good live, may have 2 get them 2 songs. |
 | Comment #53 by prowlerdante Saturday, July 05, 2008 @ 09:23:29 AM @ Comment 47 Visuveous - Promised Land is also free. Also, just because they haven't released as much modern stuff doesn't mean they won't (besides, isn't 2006 modern enough?) |
 | Comment #54 by DeadSoul2004 Saturday, July 05, 2008 @ 09:57:25 AM I want some more metal for RB Would love to see Machinehead or Lamb of God |
 | Comment #55 by The Nick316 Saturday, July 05, 2008 @ 10:05:02 AM @50 i agree with all the bands you named apart from Hard-Fi. I just don't see any of there tunes being fun to play. And some of the babyshambles/libertines stuff would be hard to sing. |
| Comment #56 by pauly_27 Saturday, July 05, 2008 @ 10:07:26 AM @ number 37: It matters not what bands people like - stop trying to be the internet tough guy whose opinion on music is all that matters. It doesn't matter how many songs Rock Band gets if I don't personally like them myself, that's why I'm liking the current free GH 3 stuff. It's not about being a "cheapskate" (the very fact I have these games negates your point, number 28) Who doesn't like free stuff? |
 | Comment #57 by voorhees88 Saturday, July 05, 2008 @ 10:25:03 AM not long now till we get some cannibal corpse! |
 | Comment #58 by Beany 7 Saturday, July 05, 2008 @ 11:03:31 AM Its my birthday on the 8th, I believe I should get these downloads for free! =p I really want some MCR tracks released! Dead! on GH2 was freakin awesome to play! |
 | Comment #59 by mrbaseball2711 Saturday, July 05, 2008 @ 12:04:22 PM I've been wanting snow ever since I saw it as one of the gh2 mods. |
 | Comment #60 by Bloodwolf Saturday, July 05, 2008 @ 12:05:06 PM Two good RHCP songs.. |
 | Comment #61 by Almighty Tubsta Saturday, July 05, 2008 @ 12:21:46 PM @52 Yeah! More music to cut myself to. Whatever floats yer boat i guess. @57 That'll be the day! I wanna play Love Rollercoaster, that would be the best RHCP song. |
 | Comment #62 by MeanMachine00 Saturday, July 05, 2008 @ 12:42:53 PM Excellent, about time theres 2 of my favourite Red Hot Chili Peppers songs. BRING ON CUSTOM SONGS! |
 | Comment #63 by RockstarSuicide Saturday, July 05, 2008 @ 02:02:02 PM Darth, while AM is on Domino Records, I don't think we'll be getting anything. Pulp - Common People would be swank! |
 | Comment #64 by VA5HtheSTAMPEDE Saturday, July 05, 2008 @ 02:17:55 PM @56: Free stuff isn't always good. Would you take a free kick in the groin? Hey ... it's free! :D |
 | Comment #65 by PERRY52 Saturday, July 05, 2008 @ 02:29:44 PM ya strokes babyy |
 | Comment #66 by rickyb Saturday, July 05, 2008 @ 04:04:29 PM They need to bring out more familiar songs like nickelback and maybe abit of queen because theres songs are what the majority of people like and good vocals guitar and drums in them all im sure other people would want to see that aswell ? |
| Comment #67 by pauly_27 Saturday, July 05, 2008 @ 04:26:07 PM @ 64: The day my Xbox or Guitar Hero kicks me in the groin, I'll gladly take it. It was obvious what I meant by free stuff being good. |
| Comment #68 by Almighty Tubsta Saturday, July 05, 2008 @ 04:26:07 PM @66 definitely some queen |
 | Comment #69 by bewarethefoopa Saturday, July 05, 2008 @ 05:08:35 PM hooray for the free WoW song!! .... |
| Comment #70 by bewarethefoopa Saturday, July 05, 2008 @ 05:10:43 PM ...vomits |
 | Comment #71 by towns Saturday, July 05, 2008 @ 05:32:08 PM love both of the rhcp songs, definitely pickin them up. cant wait for seether tho |
 | Comment #72 by Imperial Dragoon Saturday, July 05, 2008 @ 06:40:52 PM I am probably the only one that thinks this but I think Rock Band has an overall better range of tracks from different genres though they do need to stop getting obscure bands that are starting up unless they drop the prices or bring some more free tracks...and if they brought out lots of tracks I liked each week I'd never have any money for anything else (I'm already eying up about 15 songs I can't get coz my next batch of points is going towards The Who and 3 single songs). |
 | Comment #73 by MR NOVAK Saturday, July 05, 2008 @ 06:52:00 PM please give me some nirvana!!! |
 | Comment #74 by Fighterspledge Saturday, July 05, 2008 @ 07:20:45 PM I hope RHCP releases their whole label for download. |
 | Comment #75 by SheepBoy Saturday, July 05, 2008 @ 07:20:57 PM Awesome.. Can't wait to play some more Rush. #34 is right. Why would someone want to play something like Nickleback instead of a song from a talented band. |
 | Comment #76 by Led Head1991 Saturday, July 05, 2008 @ 09:02:33 PM JULY IS MY MONTH BABY! Rush, RHCP, The Who... I think i might cream if there is some Zeppelin or John Mayer also. |
 | Comment #77 by REBEL BOY OO9 Saturday, July 05, 2008 @ 09:17:45 PM THIS IS CLOSE TO THE BEST DLC WEEK EVAR! (BECAUSE BOSTON WEEK WAS THE BEST!) |
 | Comment #78 by JVinz Saturday, July 05, 2008 @ 09:22:53 PM Ugh. There is so much music in the world. If I had to guess, people generally only like less than 0.01 percent of it. Which is why most people bitch and moan about the new tracks. I suppose if they wanted to please the masses they'd put all top 40. Or at the very least, what was once top 40. I'm not actually criticizing anyone. Just general bitching about the fact that we all still can't have exactly what we want. Wouldn't it be nice if we had the iTunes music selection at the very least? Yes, yes, I know it isn't possible due to the need for tracking down the sacred "Master Tracks". Someday we'll all live in a perfect world where we can get anything we want, on demand. |
 | Comment #79 by b3njaques Saturday, July 05, 2008 @ 10:41:14 PM @#78 Gay. and That would be pretty flipping sick if they did put out some good ol' Strokes. They should give us "the modern age" and "hard to explain" They should give us some other great ones like the cribs, bloc party, arctic monkeys. but all in all they need some death from above 1979. two guys, one bass, and one drummer, the drummer sings. but you should definetly check em out if your into some inventive fun stuff. |
 | Comment #80 by MYRM1D0N Saturday, July 05, 2008 @ 11:43:26 PM im surprised at how many people dont like the red hot chili peppers... anyways. i love the chili peppers. im very happy with the DLC this week. Im gonna buy the 2 chili peppers songs |
 | Comment #81 by Allen Poe Sunday, July 06, 2008 @ 01:09:03 AM RHCP FTW fuck whoever don't like it |
 | Comment #82 by BB55 Sunday, July 06, 2008 @ 01:23:19 AM chilis are good..and to #24, while its good to have free stuff, rock band has better song selection, so just buy them pay the points and quit being a jew about it. easily downloading the two red hot chili peppers songs, and maybe the master track. |
 | Comment #83 by master1113111 Sunday, July 06, 2008 @ 07:12:46 AM Keep the DLC coming! Its not always something I think is awesome, but I love that there is a good mix of stuff. |
 | Comment #84 by GangsterPanda Sunday, July 06, 2008 @ 12:44:31 PM Pleased with the DLC, definatly buying the two RHCP tracks. |
| Comment #85 by iamtheSCARECROW Sunday, July 06, 2008 @ 03:42:51 PM I'm not to excited. Both great bands but i've never really been a huge fan. I wish the put in some more blink 182 or everclear or maybe some Third Eye Blind. that's more the stuff i grew up on. but i ain't complainin' i'm just happy that unlike guitar hero 3, rock band releases stuff weekly. |
| Comment #86 by FuriJord Sunday, July 06, 2008 @ 04:24:51 PM Jesus-H! Get some older skool RHCP on there! |
 | Comment #87 by t3wargamer Sunday, July 06, 2008 @ 05:17:31 PM I want more blink-182 and angels and airwaves!!!!!!! |
 | Comment #88 by ConorMullarky Sunday, July 06, 2008 @ 06:22:55 PM Puzzle - Biffy Clyro..... we need this album on Rock Band! |
 | Comment #89 by TWD_Zombie Sunday, July 06, 2008 @ 07:14:16 PM Rock band = sucks. |
 | Comment #90 by xXI A ROD IXx Sunday, July 06, 2008 @ 08:22:35 PM why the hell do they pick all this gay shit? its us whos buying it why don't they have something were we vote on what tracks we want |
 | Comment #91 by ROA5T BeeF Sunday, July 06, 2008 @ 09:41:17 PM Hey lets get some TOOL! Tool doesnt like to distribute individual songs, because it takes away from the "experience" of having the whole package of the CD in order. So...put a Tool CD for download on rock band like they did with Boston! They are so much more original than the chili peppers! |
| Comment #92 by ROA5T BeeF Sunday, July 06, 2008 @ 09:43:19 PM @61 Why dont u actually listen to some of these songs before you go and make generalize about things u dont know about! Yeah! Thatll be the day! |
| Comment #93 by aR3tarded gator Monday, July 07, 2008 @ 12:06:27 AM WE NEED MORE FOO FIGHTERS!!!!!!!! |
| Comment #94 by empire1341 Monday, July 07, 2008 @ 07:40:27 AM @61 i'm guessing you have never listened to either biffy clyro or bullet, else you would not have your comment. @88 ccould not agree more, be great if they released puzzle as a whole album on rock bad or infinity land or any of their albums. I'd be willing to pay for anyone of their albums as there all fucking amazing. |
 | Comment #95 by Feel My Rage Monday, July 07, 2008 @ 02:35:52 PM While I do like the wo RHCP songs, and I'm a big fan of Rush...... I totally agre with #93.WE NEED MORE FOO FIGHTERS DAMMIT! Oh yeah, and #90, you only think its gay because you dont listen to it, and you're probably too narrow minded to even give it a chance.Oh well, thats your loss man. And oh yeah, I WILL be buying at least 2 (if not all) of these songs, so congrats.Theres my input. |
| Comment #96 by RockstarSuicide Monday, July 07, 2008 @ 03:27:39 PM @66: The day Nickelback is on Rock Band, I'm setting my copy of the game on fire! @93: Get GH3, the FF pack is awesome! |
 | Comment #97 by xpectsthexpctd Monday, July 07, 2008 @ 06:32:15 PM I gotta get some more MS points, cause I missed last week's, which I wanted, and I know I'll at least buy Tell Me Baby. |
 | Comment #98 by KIELW93 Tuesday, July 08, 2008 @ 02:49:20 AM A Nirvana pack has been rumored on Wikipedia for ages, and I continue to wait with bated breath each and every week...*sigh*...I would kill for some Pearl Jam as well, but I recognize that is probably setting my sights too high. |
![](http://gamercard.xbox360achievements.org/x360a-comments/<embed src="http://card.mygame.png) | Comment #99 by Scott31815 Tuesday, July 08, 2008 @ 03:26:14 AM It's about time we got more RUSH! After being a 20 year fan and a recent fifth live show on the 2nd I'm excited about this DL! I read somewhere rush's Moving Pictures album will be available for DL soon. Anyone know anything about this? |
 | Comment #100 by Zwicks Tuesday, July 08, 2008 @ 03:28:59 AM Need some Devil Wears Prada |
 | Comment #101 by hansen578 Tuesday, July 08, 2008 @ 03:16:30 PM RHCP is sick i would only buy one of those GH Aerosmith games r w/e if it was GHRHCP |
| Comment #102 by Almighty Tubsta Thursday, July 10, 2008 @ 12:45:20 PM Damn man, Snow is quite tricky on guitar! |
