Rock Band DLC for March 31st

Rock Band DLC for March 31st
Written Friday, March 27, 2009 by Dan Webb

"She's just a small town girl ... living in a lonely world ... she took the midnight train going anywhere."

Yes, that's right folks, MTV Games & Harmonix today announced that the classic Journey track, "Don't Stop Believin'" is amongst next week's Rock Band musical offerings.

Joining "Don't Stop Believin'" which I cranked on especially to write this piece of news, music fans can also get their hands on Pat Benatar's "Heartbreaker" from her 1979 In the Heat of the Night album, Glasvegas' "Geraldine" from their 2008 self-titled album, and the Von Bondies' "C'Mon, C'Mon" from their 2004 album, Pawn Shoppe Heart. Each of the tracks will be available on Tuesday 31st March for 160 points each.

In addition, as a special this week, Rock Band fans can also get their hands on the Nickelodeon Spongebob Square Pants track pack which features "I Can’t Keep My Eyes Off of You," "The Best Day Ever" and "Where’s Gary?" from the 2006 album SpongeBob SquarePants: The Best Day Ever. The Spongebob tracks are available for 80 points each or 240 points a pack (which is a saving of ... 0 points).

It's all about Journey then next week ... a reason enough to get Rock Band over Guitar Hero? From a personal standpoint ... hellz yeah!

I agree, next week is all about the Journey song, a true classic song and is the kind of song that fits perfectly for these games, the rest isn't even worth talking about.

I love the FX series rescue me and I've always loved the opening track "c'mon c'mon" by the von bondies, def. buying that. and of course...DONT STOP BELIEVINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNG!

Comment #12 by ferrara316
Friday, March 27, 2009 @ 10:26:02 AM

i aint gunna buy it but i bet Dont Stop Believing will be the most downloaded song on RB history

Comment #13 by Greg0fTheDead
Friday, March 27, 2009 @ 10:26:55 AM

#6 you are dead wrong buddy, c'mon c'mon is a great track, you should listen to it. although I do agree that journey totally rocks.

Not too thrilled about Spongebob, but wow - Journey.

Comment #15 by zyxomma100
Friday, March 27, 2009 @ 10:30:13 AM

Don't Stop Believin. Oh my God. Besides Eagles songs (which all went to GH), this was one of three songs that I was waiting for.

Oh, and I'm getting Best Day Ever, too, from the Spongebob pack. It's an inside joke with my girlfriend and me (well and we both still like the early Spongebob episodes).

It's the Beeeest Daaaaay Eeeeverrrrrrr! Also the first two songs I'll ever buy for their vocal tracks alone. Although I do kind of want to play DSB's opening guitar riff solo thingy.

Comment #16 by Mr Deftino
Friday, March 27, 2009 @ 10:35:20 AM

Sigh...wish they'd add more classic songs. Like some classics from Muse, Red Hot Chilli's, Guns N' Roses, Nickelback etc.

Comment #17 by industrial
Friday, March 27, 2009 @ 10:41:59 AM

@ #16

Please never call Nickelback "classic".

Comment #18 by CozierZebra
Friday, March 27, 2009 @ 10:46:19 AM

Wow the Von Bondies #1 hit haha. It's a good tune so I think I'll be picking it up. I don't know about Journey though, the last thing anyone needs is someone that thinks they can belt that out.

Comment #19 by gatorbait
Friday, March 27, 2009 @ 10:49:38 AM

You had me at the intro of this article! I'm in and I'm interested to hear what the Spongebob songs will sound like, haha.

The fun song is the only song I'd download from Spongebob, but only if it was free.


Comment #22 by P I Staker30
Friday, March 27, 2009 @ 11:01:08 AM

#16 are you retarded? Classics predate Nickelback and RHCP.
What I want to know is are they ever going to add any Alter Bridge? I fucking love them and wouldn't mind being Myles Kennedy or Mark Tremonti for a few minutes!

Comment #23 by TheDudeJoe
Friday, March 27, 2009 @ 11:01:39 AM

Awesome, Loves me some classic rock. I'm gonna get heartbreaker as well.

Comment #24 by radiohead433
Friday, March 27, 2009 @ 11:05:15 AM

@#18... you've never been to a bar with karaoke? I hear drunk people try to belt that out on a daily basis on weekends.... at least now I can enjoy it.

Journey is absoloute win. Not really interested in the rest.

Comment #30 by mlemaire
Friday, March 27, 2009 @ 11:36:27 AM

#22, Alter Bridge have confirmed that they have a track in the next GH...which in one way is cool, since AB is finally in a rhythm game. On the other hand, it's not in RB so it is depressing a little bit as well. Nonetheless, I agree: bring on some AB!

As for the Journey addition...my god...I have waited so very (im)patiently to have this song in RB! This is truly a good day for this game. The more Journey the better, as far as I am concerned. And that Von Bondies song is pretty good too, since I love Rescue Me as well and was exposed to it there. Pretty good week!

Rock Band is getting so desperate tring to get new DLC its gets worse and worse every week. Where is the Dream Theatre Track Pack? Now thats something that i would actually spend my money on!!

Friday, March 27, 2009 @ 12:05:37 PM

So it's been a running joke between me and the hubby for months that Don't Stop has been following us...everywhere we go, we hear it, on the radio, as musak, by bar bands. Our disgust with how much it's been overplayed knows no bounds. So am I getting it? Hell yes! Been waiting forever! This and Benetar are definite pickups.

Dear lord... Spongebob... Safe to say that's worse than GH 3's World of Warcraft song.

Rest of the songs though are the reason why RB > GH :)

Comment #47 by HT101
Friday, March 27, 2009 @ 01:52:32 PM

DON'T STOP BELIEVING. HOLD ON TO THAT FEELING. I can't wait to play this song. Rock Band has now solidified itself as the best rhythm game on the market.

Comment #48 by drdreminem
Friday, March 27, 2009 @ 01:58:04 PM

@ #16 Do you seriously think ANY of those bands you listed are "classic."
They need some more Maiden that would be awesome.

Songs like Don't Stop Believin' are why Rock Band > World Tour.

Friday, March 27, 2009 @ 02:25:49 PM

LMFAO THIS IS AWESOME.

When I started out taking Vocal Lessons, I had to sing "Don't Stop Believin" while my instructor played it on the piano, we were an awesome duo =]

OMFG! I love Don't Stop Believin! It's my favourite song ever. I know what I'm buying next week. GOD, that is AMAZING! YES FOR JOURNEY!

Comment #57 by nobodieshero
Friday, March 27, 2009 @ 02:50:21 PM

lol I find it hilarious that Guitar Hero World Tour gets so much flack but you guys get excited about Sponge Bob songs. Just further shows that rock band isn't a talent game its a pop game.

Comment #58 by iruhlman
Friday, March 27, 2009 @ 03:08:17 PM

Journey is a must buy! Can't help but think of Sopranos everytime I hear it now though. lol

Comment #59 by MG6490
Friday, March 27, 2009 @ 03:08:58 PM

Isnt the opening of 'Dont Stop Believing' Piano?

Will still get it cos i only play vocals on rock band since my guitar got knackered :(

Comment #60 by Buddy415
Friday, March 27, 2009 @ 03:17:30 PM

I predict that Don't Stop Believin' will be the best selling DLC, but really enough with the gay songs

Comment #61 by Tinyliney
Friday, March 27, 2009 @ 03:26:40 PM

they need to put some Bon Jovi, GNR and Chilis on there. Also a bit of The Answer wouldn't go a-miss

Getting the Journey one for sure, just to sing it with my friends wasted.

I'm surprised people are actually asking for more RHCP...we already have a three pack and an album from them.

@16. i think dont stop believin is as classic as it gets buddy. plus 3 out of the 4 of those bands you named are not classic. anyways buying all of em. haha. mainly for journey

Comment #79 by Jake1479
Friday, March 27, 2009 @ 07:32:28 PM

Every song on this is a failure and overrated. Journey is one of the worst bands, everyone just says that they like them because they have 1 song that EVERYONE knows the words to. It doesn't mean that they are good. They're garbage. They need more metallica.

Comment #80 by CriscoDisco878
Friday, March 27, 2009 @ 08:22:38 PM

jake. go die. please. journey is one of the most successful bands in the world. and personally dont stop believin is there most noticed song, but in my opinion not there best. so please shut up

@31:

Worse and worse every week? In case you didn't notice, we had TEN last week, which immediately tops every other DLC week we've ever had.
Then to bring us Don't Stop Believin', Heartbreaker, and C'mon C'mon in one week... is... epic. I think I'll go buy more points now.

and @79:

It's funny you'd make a comment like that, then immediately mention Metallica.

JOURNEY! AHHH! Amazing I must say now only if we could get Lights or hell the whole fricking Greatest hits album! And people that diss Journey do not know what real music is. I am sorry Neal Schon (guitarist for Journey) is so much better musically inclined than Kirk Hammet is.

"It's all about Journey then next week ... a reason enough to get Rock Band over Guitar Hero? From a personal standpoint ... hellz yeah!"

And yet songs like the sponge bob square pants are EXACT reasons to never get rock band and to stick with real music from guitar hero
