Rock Band DLC For August 26th

Rock Band DLC For August 26th
Written Thursday, August 21, 2008 by Jason Debelyak

Another week and some more Rock Band goodies for us to sink our teeth into.  This upcoming week, we will be treated to another full album download.  This time from Rush with their album Moving Pictures.  Each song will be available for the standard 160 MSP ($2), or the entire album can be downloaded for 880 MSP ($11).  The following tracks will be available on the album:

  • Tom Sawyer (Original Recording)
  • Red Barchetta
  • YYZ
  • Limelight (Original Recording)
  • The Camera Eye
  • Witch Hunt
  • Vital Signs

Definitely good news for any Rush fan, but also some very good songs from those that aren't quite fans.  The album will be available to download on Tuesday, August 26th.

truly awesome, though it's kind of weird having two versions of 3 of their songs...

It isnt wierd, they are master tracks now. Excellent album and is a steal at 880 points.

Meh, I hate Tom sawyer and everything else except YYZ...

this is very good news, I heard rumors that this was coming to Rock Band, but I never saw it confirmed.

wow...I love YYZ but the vocalist will sure be bored in multiplayer matches haha

yeah YYZ will be great for the guitarists

I assume Toemass14 is disappointed because he wants songs by his favorite bands, including No Doubt, Nickelback, and *insert talentless band here*. This is some good news, I would have liked to see a whole different Rush album, personally, such as Signals or Permanent Waves, but this will do for sure. For those out there that aren't diehard Rush fans, give Red Barchetta and YYZ a chance, and heck, The Camera Eye is over 10 minutes long studio version, that might be worth your money too. Either way, you can't go wrong with Rush, especially master tracks.

this is awesome, ive been waiting for something like this for a long time.

right now all the rock band DLC suck they need to but a least a new metallica pack or a ac/dc pack with highway to hell, back in black and some other song

Comment #14 by Pyroman31
Thursday, August 21, 2008 @ 09:03:23 PM

Willace you obviously have a weird taste in music. They have released DLC through pretty much every single music genre ever.

Anyway, can't freakin' wait to get this. I love RUSH!!!!

slowly but surely
every GH song is coming to rock band
OOOOOHHHHHHH YEAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!

Comment #16 by IMAMEX
Thursday, August 21, 2008 @ 09:10:44 PM

hehehe @ 15. I was thinking the same thing. I'm stoked cause I really liked YYZ. I'll probably download this whole thing cause rush pwns so hard and for the off chance that we'll pick random songs and the guy singing will be screwed!

I hate rush so much, but YYZ is great (mostly because you don't hear that annoying voice).

Comment #18 by bigpoppamj
Thursday, August 21, 2008 @ 09:27:41 PM

will be getting YYZ and Vital Signs, but I wonder how boring the vocalist (usually me) will be on YYZ?

Guess I'll find out come Tuesday.

Comment #19 by Edable Giraffe
Thursday, August 21, 2008 @ 09:33:27 PM

@10, how can you call nickleback talentless? theyre new album is abysmal but the long road and silver side up were both masterpieces.

anyway.. what is the difference between the tom saywer on the disc and this one?

and rockband need more metal.. please bring some slipknot, in flames, children of bodom, or at least bullet for my valentine

Comment #20 by ii br00tal ii
Thursday, August 21, 2008 @ 09:47:34 PM

So, is YYZ going to be all cowbell and percussion? If so, then I'll finally be able to get 100% on an expert song!

Comment #21 by KretchFoop14
Thursday, August 21, 2008 @ 09:49:53 PM

HELL YEAH!!! good Rush songs, kind of a waste to get the real versions though, unless you truly hate the covers tht are on the disc (#19). but w.e, buying most

Comment #22 by theforcemonkey
Thursday, August 21, 2008 @ 09:55:39 PM

I'm stoked - buyin' the full album fo sho!

YYZ!!!!!

Comment #24 by bitemeblinky
Thursday, August 21, 2008 @ 10:36:10 PM

I actually havent listened to anything on this album other than Tom Sawyer and YYZ but Im sure Ill like it seeing as Rush is a pretty good band so I will most likely buy the cd.

Comment #25 by YanksForTheWin
Thursday, August 21, 2008 @ 10:37:07 PM

Whats the difference between the two Tom Sawyers? YYZ ftw.

Comment #26 by squirreltakos
Thursday, August 21, 2008 @ 11:01:10 PM

At least they're masters now. But I don't want to buy them again.

Comment #27 by silentbob0
Thursday, August 21, 2008 @ 11:10:22 PM

This is stupid whats the point of releasing songs twice. They should have released a best of Rush pack, like they did with The Who.

Comment #28 by CriscoDisco878
Thursday, August 21, 2008 @ 11:47:20 PM

hell yes.. . .

Comment #29 by HybridPK
Thursday, August 21, 2008 @ 11:50:15 PM

I have to agree with #27, I think it's kind of odd how we can buy the master recording of Tom Sawyer. I wonder why they couldn't have it on the disc in the first place?

I will be getting this though. Rush is fantastical.

Comment #30 by TyrantJester
Thursday, August 21, 2008 @ 11:51:17 PM

The Camera Eye will be pretty epic. Remember, anyone who hates Rush, is a communist. :)

ill be picking up YYZ for fun on the guitar and drums. and ill trick my friends into doing vocals for it :D

Comment #32 by KingSigy

This whole album is Rush's masterpiece, so it's great to have it finally in Rock Band.

Oh shit my head exploded.

Comment #34 by Krymson Fury
Friday, August 22, 2008 @ 12:33:35 AM

@19 hes (#10) calling them talentless cuz hes never heard Curb which is their first cd way before they sold out

Comment #35 by Halochief Chris
Friday, August 22, 2008 @ 12:41:58 AM

YES! Love Rush's music. I was content with Closer to the Heart and Working Man, but this is so much cooler to get.

Comment #36 by Fryza
Friday, August 22, 2008 @ 01:10:29 AM

'YYZ' is nice. Definately do not care one way or the other for having now a cover and master version, but oh well.

Cool, i love this Rush Album

Comment #41 by Lonsta DaMonsta
Friday, August 22, 2008 @ 04:36:16 AM

@34, you're right... never heard that CD. All I hear by them is four power-chorded songs with 4/4 time signature. Boring.

Everybody got, mixed feeeelings! (Rush - Vital Signs)

more old stuff. urgh! I WANT MORE KILLSWITCH!

Comment #43 by artvandel4y
Friday, August 22, 2008 @ 07:18:10 AM

I thought they covered Rush really well, and I already got the Limelight cover, but I'll get a few of the others. How did they find the master tracks of several Rush albums a year after they needed to? No reason to complain I guess...

Glad to see some more 80's music in there, which a few idiots decide to shit on making my whole generation look bad.

at#20, Debaser by the Pixies, entirely talky parts and an easier rhythm than Sabotage.

Friday, August 22, 2008 @ 08:23:02 AM

Damnit, just as my bass pedal breaks as well!

Still gonna grab it straight away for t'other parts

Comment #45 by SlinksNine
Friday, August 22, 2008 @ 08:47:28 AM

Definitely buying on release. I'm a huge Rush fan, so this is really a plus for me. It's going to suck that /everyone/ will now have only YYZ, and maybe Working Man for the instrumentals. Sad how everyone downs Geddy Lee's voice, when it's pretty epic tbh.

Comment #46 by CaptainKicker
Friday, August 22, 2008 @ 09:42:50 AM

Im gonna buy "Yyz"

Comment #47 by Sakurafire

RUSH!!!!!

* Tom Sawyer (Original Recording) (WANT! Would also like the MSI remake)
* Red Barchetta (Major WANT!)
* YYZ (Irritating, but Want!)
* Limelight (Original Recording) (Have but Want!)
* The Camera Eye (Not so much a fan, but will get anyway)
* Witch Hunt (WOOT! MASSIVELY MAJOR WANT!!)
* Vital Signs (As with Camera Eye, but will get)

Man, I love Rush!

YYZ was on GH2 and I loved it. I hate Rush's vocals, so its a plus since YYZ is instrumental.

No Nirvana? No Pearl Jam? Well at least Rush is good unlike Duran Duran and some other bad 80s shit RB has released.
