OXM getting exclusive Rock Band DLC

by Richard Mitchell { Jan 3rd 2008 at 12:15PM }

Official Xbox Magazine got its grubby little hands on 3 exclusive tracks for Rock Band. The tracks will be offered on the disc bundled with the February issue of the magazine, set to be in subscribers hands "soon" and available on store shelves January 15th. The three tracks to be included are:

"Sprøde" by Freezepop
"Rock Rebellion" by Bang Camaro
"Shake" by Count Zero (warning: Myspace link)

It's definitely an interesting collection of tracks. The article on OXM Online doesn't mention whether or not these are master tracks, but given that the Freezepop and Bang Camaro tracks available with the retail version are master tracks, we're betting these are too.

Male or female on the left?

Will @ Jan 3rd 2008 1:23PM

A little bit of both I think...

max @ Jan 3rd 2008 12:27PM

Note to Harmonix: Smaller indie bands that could use exposure on Rock Band exist outside of you and your friends Boston bands.

being a rock band n00b and not knowing jack shit about it...what's a "master track?"

xenocidic @ Jan 3rd 2008 12:58PM

master track means it was made with the original versions recorded by the artists as opposed to a cover band you can tell the difference when it says, say "Push Push (Lady Lightning) /BY/ Bang Camaro" as opposed to say "Monkey Wrench /AS MADE FAMOUS BY/ Foo Fighters". In the second instead ("as made famous") it's just a cover whereas the first one ("by") indicates a master track.

thanks Xeno! Makes sense!

Gemini Ace @ Jan 3rd 2008 12:45PM

Uh...who? Never heard of any of them.

Wilson @ Jan 3rd 2008 12:52PM

orly? never played any of the guitar hero or any other harmonix game before? Freezepop is in pretty much all of them

Gemini Ace @ Jan 3rd 2008 1:24PM

I have GH2. They're not in it.

max @ Jan 3rd 2008 1:39PM

less talk more rokk

Loban @ Jan 3rd 2008 1:40PM

Freezepop is in GH2. "Less Talk More Rokk" It's a bonus song.

ChromaTick @ Jan 3rd 2008 12:58PM

I really like the Bang Camaro song that's in Rock Band already. Hopefully this one will be good also.

Scott @ Jan 3rd 2008 1:07PM

Ummm, if you are putting on any Count Zero songs, just put Radium Eyes back on there again.
That song stinks so bad I love it.
"RADIUM EYES BA DA DA DA DA"

I can't find anywhere on this site where it explains how comments work so I'm going to ask here.

How the heck do you reply to a previous comment?

Also, am I required to enter my username/password every time I want to leave a comment?

MrMuggs @ Jan 3rd 2008 1:41PM

There's a reply button under each person's comments. HOWEVER, there seems to be some sort of script error w/the CSS or something and a lot of people(including myself) can't see it. If you hover your mouse around the bottom of people's comments you'll notice that your mouse turns to a hand. I had the same issue so I loaded up the site in Firefox and you can see the reply button. In IE6 I can't see it. I'm not going to install IE7. I'm betting it works in IE7.

Yes. Every time you leave a comment you need to enter your password. It's to prevent spammers. Use the password you get in your email every time when you first make a comment. You can also change that password at blogsmith.com.

Although the commenting isn't bad on here it's not very intuitive. There's a lot to figure out for first time commenters. Based on the perceived diffculty and hassle that's probably why most people don't bother commenting at all.

YoRone22 @ Jan 3rd 2008 1:41PM

Hmm...IDK...Maybe hit the reply button?

David @ Jan 3rd 2008 1:52PM

It is a good system, keeps the noise level down. I am glad it is cumbersome.

ChromaTick @ Jan 3rd 2008 2:08PM

Thanks MrMuggs. That appears to be the problem. No reply button at all for me, but I found the invisible spot with some slow hovering. Now I at least know where it is for future reference.

I agree, this comment system is about the opposite of intuitive. :)
