Green Day and Mayhem Festival 8 Pack on Rock Band Next Week

Green Day and Mayhem Festival 8 Pack on Rock Band Next Week
Written Thursday, July 02, 2009 by Dan Webb

I've literally been wandering around today convinced that it's Friday ... but  now, this is just plain damn freaky. Is the world out on a mission to dupe me today? Is it? Come on, I won't be mad if you fess up. What triggered this latest panic attack you ask? Well MTV and Harmonix today announced next week's Rock Band DLC ... which is usually a Friday tradition. I have a sneaking feeling it has something to do with July 4th. Anyway, on to the music.

Available in the Rock Band Music Store next week will be 11, count it, 11 tracks including a three pack from American "rockers" Green Day, and 8 tracks from the RockStar Energy Drink Mayhem Festival. If you, like me, didn't know what the Mayhem Festival is, apparently it "is a new summer touring metal and rock festival in the United States during July and August, assembled by Vans Warped Tour founder Kevin Lyman."

The tracks will be available Tuesday, July 7th, for 160 points each. Alternatively, you can pick up the Green Day track pack for 440 points, or the 8 track Mayhem pack for 1,080 points. The tracks and bands are as follows:

Green Day - “21 Guns”
Green Day - “East Jesus Nowhere”
Green Day - “Know Your Enemy"
Behemoth - “Conquer All”
Black Dahlia Murder - “What a Horrible Night to Have a Curse”
Cannibal Corpse - “Hammer Smashed Face”  
God Forbid - “Empire of the Gun”
Job for a Cowboy - “Embedded"
Marilyn Manson - “Disposable Teens”
Slayer - “Black Magic”    
Whitechapel - “This Is Exile”

HOLY SHIT!! Slayer - Black Magic!!!

You guys should listen to that song. It's insane!!!!

Going to pick up that entire pack. I love metal.

Interesting. Although Behemoth have crumbled in quality lately, Conquer All should be fun to sing to LoL. Although I would have thought Heru Ra Ha would be a lot more fun on guitar, drums and vocals than Conquer All. I'll pick up a couple of these tracks

I think Manson is the only thing up there worth it... What about Killswitch or BulletFMV? ugh...

Could we get some of the older Green Day stuff, you think? This new album is sort of, well. Meh.

Comment #12 by SebastianSB
Thursday, July 02, 2009 @ 09:52:46 AM

@6 I'm 99% sure both of those bands are already in RB.

Comment #13 by Cyberwaste
Thursday, July 02, 2009 @ 09:53:00 AM

...SLAYERRRRRRR!

And JFAC, and Green Day to keep the pop fans in the house at bay.

Comment #14 by SebastianSB
Thursday, July 02, 2009 @ 09:53:12 AM

@9 we are getting older stuff from green day. This is the first of several planned projects with the band.

Comment #15 by Webb
Thursday, July 02, 2009 @ 09:55:07 AM

And in other news... THE PS3 IS LOSING ALL 3RD PARTY SUPPORT!...... I just needed to say that.

Anyways, not to bad, but could be better.

Thursday, July 02, 2009 @ 10:00:25 AM

#17...Lets see proof of that? and **** Activision! im not buying anything they put their stupid logo on it...and that sadly will include Modern Warfare 2, but im standing my ground...they want to be bitches like that then NO GH for me, no GH 2,3, WT, GH, and the 5 other kinds they have coming out this year, no DJ HERO *like i cared about that game* Activision can just go straight to hell. ROCKBAND now...Best Music game ever...only 2 games with a 3rd one out this year...and well over 600 Tracks...as opposed to GH, has like 10 games out and it still not even close!

Comment #18 by Bleeding Star
Thursday, July 02, 2009 @ 10:02:06 AM

a Mayhem Fest pack without All That Remains Trivium and Bullet? = fail.

Comment #26 by JD15
Thursday, July 02, 2009 @ 10:18:03 AM

I love #7 whinig for Killswitch and B4MV when theres some legit metal Black Dahlia Murder and Slayer, Mansons good but should've had The Beautiful People

Comment #27 by WickedD365
Thursday, July 02, 2009 @ 10:28:29 AM

Mayhem pack should consist of some Slipknot, Disturbed, you know bands that are good. CC is Trash, BDM = trash, JFC = trash.
The only good ones are Manson and Slayer. Might pick up the Green Day just for the fact that i can finally play some GD on Rock band.

Comment #28 by squirreltakos
Thursday, July 02, 2009 @ 10:28:38 AM

metal on rockband always winds up being stupid, whether the music is good or not. It's just not meant to be.

Comment #29 by ch33zy
Thursday, July 02, 2009 @ 10:29:48 AM

Hammer smashed face is a metal anthem, and black magic is one hell of a tune as well, Bout time they put some proper metal on there

Comment #30 by Yabadapaduu
Thursday, July 02, 2009 @ 10:41:03 AM

#27

Slipknot and Disturbed aren't part of Mayhem this year. Beside, any metal >>>>>> nu metal

Comment #31 by wh1tel1ght
Thursday, July 02, 2009 @ 10:43:41 AM

@17 way to Call yourself out. Fail much?

Comment #32 by GearsFan4Life
Thursday, July 02, 2009 @ 10:51:55 AM

No Tainted Love, The Beautiful People or Sweet Dreams?

Comment #33 by rvlution

Green Day, maybe. Nothing else though.

Comment #34 by VladimirK
Thursday, July 02, 2009 @ 11:03:41 AM

Nice, Cannibal Corpse.

But seriously, 3 Green Day tracks?
Good for dumb little 14 year old "alternative" kids, bad for everyone else.

Comment #35 by 1337Pwner
Thursday, July 02, 2009 @ 11:26:50 AM

Behemoth, God Forbid, and Whitechapel! All great bands this should be cool. Going to get points ASAP

Comment #36 by BLOMBOMB
Thursday, July 02, 2009 @ 11:28:29 AM

not as big a fan of current greenday, but might be ok

Comment #37 by RedFerret
Thursday, July 02, 2009 @ 11:33:17 AM

Green Day will appeal to the mainstream crowd...

But... BDM, Whitechapel & JFAC for the fkin WIN!!

Comment #38 by iindieRAAV3
Thursday, July 02, 2009 @ 11:40:47 AM

those three greenday songs suck, what about jesus of suburbia, longview, basket case, st jimmy?

plus i guarantee pretty much all of the cannibal corpse song will be censored because of the lyrics.

=[

Comment #39 by II M1CK3H II
Thursday, July 02, 2009 @ 11:55:26 AM

@37 "Green Day will appeal to idiots with taste in awful music" - Corrected ;D

Yet more shite for music games, what a suprise.

Theres no wonder so many people are converting to pirated games these days.

Comment #40 by II M1CK3H II
Thursday, July 02, 2009 @ 12:03:34 PM

And before anyone starts crying, YES Greenday's early stuff was good, then they wanted more money from radio stations etc and it went crap.

Thursday, July 02, 2009 @ 12:32:28 PM

Black Dahlia Murder and Whitechapel = WIN! Finally some music I love. No knock against other music, it's cool, but since ATR there hasn't been much in the way of this type of music (and ATR isn't even as hard as those two). I'll buy 'em if they're seprate; I don't much care for the rest. Behemoth sucks D.I.C.K.

Comment #47 by BenIsJammin138
Thursday, July 02, 2009 @ 12:43:03 PM

All the people Requesting Trivium & BFMV fail
I am so happy we are getting some good metal again at last
Black Dahlia Murder
Whitechapel
Job For A Cowboy
Slayer
Im quite epicly happy & Green Day aswell, i doubt i will buy them though because they are like 3 of the weakest songs on the new album

Comment #48 by B0RNx0Fx0SIRIS
Thursday, July 02, 2009 @ 12:53:31 PM

WHITE CHAPEL!
JOB FOR A COWBOY!
HE BLCAK DAHLIA MURDER!

Thursday, July 02, 2009 @ 12:55:10 PM

MARILYN MANSON IS A FAG AND IF YOU LIKE HIM YOU ARE TO

Comment #54 by L0cke89
Thursday, July 02, 2009 @ 01:21:48 PM

Now we finally have a cannible corpse and slayer song, so all the hater every week can shut up.

I like the list though I can't stand that they didn't used any american idiot song from green day. Seriously their best album (21century breakdown is good but not as great)

I want American Idiot, Holiday, Basket Case and the whole Jesus of Surburbia would be awesome.

Comment #55 by BROK3N
Thursday, July 02, 2009 @ 01:23:54 PM

^ burlyb3ar is a homophobic twat, and Marilyn Manson has a huge fan base. To all you people saying you want BFMV and Trivium, you have never heard these bands. Cannibal Corpse is the only death metal band to ever go platinum. Canniba Corpse is one of the greatest metal bands of all time. Stop crying about Green Day, they have blown shit since Dookie, and I highly doubt that anyone around 14 knows what that is (14 being their biggest fan base). I'm going to have fun with those blast beats in Hammer Smashed Face and This is Exile :)

The Slayer song is the only one I might be interested in. The new Green Day album sucks so I won't be buying those.

FUCK YOU CALE, DEATH METAL IS NOT SATANIC AT ALL. YOU DON'T KNOW SHIT ABOUT ANYTHING EXCEPT JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE, SO WHY COMMENT YOU IGNORANT PIECE OF SHIT.

Comment #66 by DerPoodle

Thursday, July 02, 2009 @ 02:09:16 PM

Fucking sweet, i love whitechapel and bdm, jfac are pretty good too, ill get them for sure, but green day are the fucking shitest band, ever.

Thursday, July 02, 2009 @ 03:07:43 PM

Marilyn Manson sucks massive dick. He doesn't make good music and if screaming is good...then yeh, Slayer are good!

And I'm a big fan of Know Your Enemy...popular song with nice, cool beat. Would be fun to play

Comment #76 by ultratog1028

Thursday, July 02, 2009 @ 03:50:46 PM

lawl at the Cannibal Corpse haters, they do suck, but I only say this because its like Britney Spears to me, weak ass generic DM, but still, probably the best song to ever be on this queer game

Comment #78 by JD15
Thursday, July 02, 2009 @ 04:13:30 PM

Lol @ #77
I dont like cannible corpse that much but I respect them for being real metal.
As for calling Rockband a queer game you fucking played Guitar Hero Metallica, Metallica is a horrible band full of money grabbers and sell-outs
NIN released their latest album for free, Lars would shit in his pants just thinking of the idea.

Thursday, July 02, 2009 @ 06:38:39 PM

Cannibal Corpse is weak ass generic death metal?

behemoth and cannibal corpse are pretty sick too.
everything else, not so much, cannot wait

Comment #90 by Chizwick
Friday, July 03, 2009 @ 03:26:49 AM

Obviously the majority of people who play Guitar Hero and Rock Band are metalheads (read: hate everything other than metal). The same people who complained about the warped tour track pack are now squealing like little fangirls for their precious new Slayer song.
I too will enjoy the new songs, but you won't see me complaining just because there's not enough growling and screaming in the next track pack.

Comment #91 by ViperxSniper
Friday, July 03, 2009 @ 07:09:18 AM

Don't really care for the new Green Day. I wish they would release Green Day's International Superhits! as an album download. Definatly would buy that instantly.

Comment #95 by GrieveNoMore
Sunday, July 05, 2009 @ 05:14:06 AM

Definately gonna get the metal pack. Hammer Smashed Face will be so much fun to play. They should put Frantic Disembowelment on there just because it's insane.

Comment #96 by braddelo
