by Dustin Burg { Jun 13th 2008 at 3:45PM }

Harmonix just announced next week's real Rock Band DLC (thanks IGN, thanks ...) and wouldn't you know one of those MTV leaked tracks is makings its release debut next week. What a funny coincidence! Next Tuesday, June 17th you'll be able to purchase a few tracks from Avenged Sevenfold and a The Offspring track for 160 Microsoft points each and Crooked X is releasing "Rock N Roll Dream" for a cool 80 points. For those of you who like lists, move your reading eyes a few lines down where we've conveniently listed all of the upcoming Rock Band musical DLC love. After you're done analyzing said list, feel free to listen to "Afterlife", because it's teh hawtness.

"Afterlife" by Avenged Sevenfold (160)
"Critical Acclaim" by Avenged Sevenfold (160)
"Hammerhead" by The Offspring (160)
"Rock N Roll Dream" by Crooked X (80)

I'm estatic. My three favorite things in life: X3F, A7X, and Xbox...all in one serving? Thank you for curing a dreadful hangover with this joyful news.

Arnon @ Jun 13th 2008 4:16PM

A7X is mah fav. band~ >.>b

Gemini Ace @ Jun 13th 2008 3:54PM

Very cool! Hammerhead is the best Offspring song in a while and you can't go wrong with Avenged Sevenfold.

HazyCloud @ Jun 13th 2008 5:01PM

meh. Where's Nevermind?

Gary Harwell @ Jun 13th 2008 6:24PM

hahahahahaha Hazy, you make me laugh.

Derka @ Jun 13th 2008 3:58PM

Oh hell, theres goes my profit margin for the month, I have to get all of these.

Vcize @ Jun 13th 2008 3:59PM

OFFSPRING FINALLYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!

But it's one of the lousy new songs.

And it's on Rock Band.

:\

But still, I'll take what I can get.

Vcize @ Jun 13th 2008 4:06PM

OK so "lousy" was too harsh, but compared to the old stuff...

Damnit, now I sound like one of those damn music snobs.

Stewart Bananas @ Jun 13th 2008 5:17PM

I'll agree with you that their old stuff is a lot better.

Having said that, I feel like Rise and Fall, Rage and Grace, while taking them in a new direction, feels like it's getting back to their roots. "Trust In You" has a very mid-90s-Offspring feel too it, and "You're Gonna Go Far, Kid" is just a fun song to listen to.

I'll get any Offspring I can on Rock Band. I've been hoping for some of their stuff for a long time so I'll take whatever.

Vcize @ Jun 13th 2008 5:49PM

Yeah, like I said I was being a little harsh. I actually really like about half the new album, and don't like the other half at all whereas with the older stuff the worst stuff was stuff that I just liked instead of loved.

Like you said, "Trust in You" could've been on Smash and it wouldn't have felt out of place at all. "Hammerhead" is just OK and doesn't seem like it will fit well with the fake guitar (too repetitive), if we were going to have to have a new song I think "Takes Me Nowhere" would've been an absolute blast to play.

Agree on "You're Gonna Go Far, Kid" as well. Although they'd have to eliminate one of the main words in the lyrics to fit that one into Rock Band, heh.

Stewart Bananas @ Jun 13th 2008 8:59PM

I agree with you on "Takes Me Nowhere". It's definitely one of my favorites from the album. But like I said, I'll take pretty much anything Offspring :P

Dom @ Jun 13th 2008 4:07PM

Damn, they're really milking this thing aren't they. People wanna complain about a map pack that comes out maybe once or twice in a games lifecycle but look at this. To each his own. I just think they should've included a bigger library with the game.

Zac LaCombe @ Jun 13th 2008 4:22PM

Well, I mean it's not really milking it. They're just adding what players want to see in the game. It'd be milking it if they'd start coming out with games centered around one band containing mostly only their musi....Oh wait.

Neuromancer @ Jun 13th 2008 4:28PM

They're milking it but if it's milk people want so it's OK. Otherwise the cow would be slaughtered, for it's tender, juicy beef.

Vcize @ Jun 13th 2008 4:35PM

Great, now I'm hungry.

Thanks a lot.

DiddlyKong @ Jun 13th 2008 4:30PM

A7X is going to be hell for drummers on expert. How are we suppose to do tripelets on a plastic bass pedal?

zero2dash @ Jun 13th 2008 5:00PM

A7X but no Almost Easy?

Wow **major oversight** there on the song selection.

Gareth @ Jun 14th 2008 6:27PM

Not really, afterlife and critical acclaim are both better songs

CosmicNeurotica @ Jun 13th 2008 8:12PM

Hammerhead? What is that? I was hoping for Self Esteem!!

kazuya @ Jun 13th 2008 8:15PM

Offspring!

**Impulse buy**

I hope they get other songs in there too.

Zoot Suit Jedi @ Jun 13th 2008 8:34PM

Whooooooooo care-s, who cares, who cares.

Seriously. Where is Who's Next already?

(And I am not buying that 'lost masters' bs either; yeah I'm talkin' to you Townshend.)

Arsonism @ Jun 14th 2008 10:44AM

I can't belive Crooked X is getting DLC. You have to admit they are pretty good for a bunch of 15 year olds from a small town in Oklahoma.

Flame @ Jun 14th 2008 1:18PM

i gonna love singing critical acclaim :D
awesome choice of songs this time!!!

Mike @ Jun 15th 2008 5:42PM

I want "Tool" DLC! For GH3 and RB!

Nick @ Jun 15th 2008 11:20PM

Gads, I WISH. I'm so not getting my hopes up for that.

And if it does come, I get the SINKING feeling it'll find its way to freakin jerk crap guitar hero which I don't and won't own.

I would die for Tool though. Sober? Aenima? Stinkfist?

I giggle in GLEE for any of them!

However I don't hold out hope.

I'd like to see some old Heart (again, probably specific only to GH) or such, that would be great, specifically for the wife to sing.

There's a ton of other stuff, I'm THRILLED they have NiN stuff. Playing The Perfect Drug? Gads, I nearly cried I was so happy :)
