Next Week Rock Band Is Giving You Anthrax
Written Friday, September 24, 2010 By Richard Walker
View author's profile

Only Rock Band can throw up such strange musical juxtapositions each week, offering up '80s thrash metal, care of Anthrax, alongside the comparatively mellow '70s rock sounds of The Doobie Brothers and the teen angst of My Chemical Romance.

It's a pretty good week for rockin' rock on the Rock Band Store this week actually, with the aforementioned Anthrax tracks making up a five-strong pack and with the two Doobie Brothers tracks, next week's offering gives you a nice preview of two artists heading to Rock Band 3 when it releases next month.

Check out the full list of tracks available next week:

Anthrax Pack 01 - 680 Microsoft Points (160 Microsoft Points each)

  • Anthrax – “Among the Living”
  • Anthrax – “I’m the Man”
  • Anthrax – “Indians” +
  • Anthrax – “Madhouse (Live)” +
  • Anthrax – “Metal Thrashing Mad (Live)” +
My Chemical Romance tracks - 160 Microsoft Points each
  • My Chemical Romance – “I’m Not Okay (I Promise)”
  • My Chemical Romance – “Welcome to the Black Parade”
The Doobie Brothers tracks - 160 Microsoft Points each
  • The Doobie Brothers – “Listen to the Music” +
  • The Doobie Brothers – “Long Train Runnin’” +
Individual tracks - 160 Microsoft Points each
  • 30 Seconds to Mars – “Closer to the Edge” +
  • Atreyu – “Coffin Nails”
  • Buckcherry – “Out of Line”

+ - Compatible with LEGO Rock Band

Look out for them on the Xbox Live Marketplace from September 28th.

[Programmer], you suck so much! God damn it!
The game is called [game], not [other game]!
Where are my [genre] tracks? How about [band]?
It's so obvious, why don't you just add them as DLC?
[Programmer], I'm officially buying [other game²]!

God I hate this.

Black Parade!

@12, I'm 31, I know who Anthrax is. I'd play it if it were disc songs but I wouldn't pay. That MCR song is a guilty pleasure of mine. I think I'll get Buckcherry too.

@8 Totally agree with you.

Every week when they announce next week's track list people complain. Harmonix releases different genres of music to appeal to everyone. Every single person does not have the same taste in music. If you don't like the dlc coming out that week don't buy it.

Considering GH2 had four MCR tracks (one on-disc, 3 DLC), I'm surprised it took Harmonix this long to add them to Rock Band- they had pretty fun charts if you ask me. I'll pick up whichever one has the most enjoyable drums as I only have enough points for one song, but I'll be back for seconds once I have more stockpiled :p

Kind of outgrown MCR, suppose because they haven't made a new album in a while, maybe pick up some Anthrax.

ANTHRAX? I have to do a double take of that.

WHOA. EFFING ANTHRAX!

How ironic, after I sworn allegiance to Guitar Hero (that was around when RB had the 'shudders' nickelback DLC) RB steps up its game. Good thinking.

Rock Band 3 will still suck though IMO, "pro" instuments don't make up for a "meh" at best setlist.

Anyone hear whether Black Parade will be compatible with the RB3 Keyboard? Seems a shame to include it a month early and lose the keyboards. It does have decent drums and a nice solo. Vox might be rough. Not a fan of current emo, but I like this song...

@33 Even though I like Anthrax, it should be:

1. Slayer (Black Magic)
2. Megadeth (Devil's Island/The Skull Beneath the Skin/Rattlehead)
3. Metallica (Whiplash/Fight Fire With Fire)
4. Testament (Souls of Black)
5. Kreator (The Ancient Plague)
6. Exodus (Bonded By Blood/Blacklist)
7. Destruction (Thrash 'Till Death/Nailed to the Cross)
8. Sodom (Magic Dragon/M16)
9. Anthrax (Caught in a Mosh/Madhouse)
10. Death Angel (Dethroned)

Not exactly igging the emo artists up there, but Anthrax alone makes this week worthwhile. However, with the Doobie Brothers up there, this makes for one of the best DLC weeks Rock Band has seen in quite a while (my opinion, of course).

Anthrax are great! Got the track pack, but every song kicks my ass on drums. Charlie is just too good.
