Trying something new and a day early, Harmonix decided to reveal next week's
Rock Band downloadable content through their first emailed issue of the
Rock Band Community-zine. And within its digital pages comes confirmation of new Rush downloadable content. Yup, RUSH! But don't go and expect to get a Rush three song track pack, because that just isn't the case. Instead, we'll be treated to all seven tracks from their
Moving Pictures album which will hit the
XBLM next Tuesday, August 26th. Including the original recordings from "Tom Sawyer" and "Limelight"! Down with covers, up with original masters and bring on the album DLC!
- "Tom Sawyer" by Rush
- "Red Barchett" by Rush
- "YYZ" by Rush
- "Limelight" by Rush
- "The Camera Eye" by Rush
- "Witch Hunt" by Rush
- "Vital Signs" by Rush
[Thanks, King B]

11 minute song incoming!

YYZ in RB? This is gonna rock. Too bad you can't have endless drum solos
Ghoti @ Aug 21st 2008 3:44PM
Another $11 of my hard earned money going to Harmonix... I am majorly stoked for this!!!
One thing though, YYZ is instrumental, so I guess the vocalist either gets to take that song off, or play a bunch of tambourine...
andyg8180 @ Aug 21st 2008 3:46PM
Wow... thats a home run for RB:DLC's.... RB actually is putting out another quality pack...
Logan @ Aug 21st 2008 3:51PM
So what does the vocalist do in YYZ? I don't think that song has any lyrics. Is this the first completely instrumental rock band song? strikes me as kind of odd.
AoE @ Aug 21st 2008 4:40PM
well IRL he plays Bass ;)
dicknjane @ Aug 21st 2008 3:55PM
r u freakin serious??? huge win for Rock Band. instant buy for me!!
Rob @ Aug 21st 2008 3:56PM
I wonder how's it gonna look like for the vocals in YYZ?
DBoyFlex @ Aug 21st 2008 4:03PM
Makes me feel stupid for buying the initial release of limelight. Rush is so much better than whoever did the cover.
Neuromancer @ Aug 21st 2008 4:03PM
Def. getting YYZ, I miss instrumentals from Guitar Hero. Guess the vocalist will just have to take a break.
Mattyplant @ Aug 21st 2008 4:06PM
Freakin' sweet as sugar coated candy floss! Me needs this, now, all I need is some G n'R and Pearl Jam - Jeremy!! And my wallet is safe until number 2 comes out ;)
Aimless3 @ Aug 21st 2008 4:32PM
Jeremy ftw!
SaNcTuS @ Aug 21st 2008 4:31PM
All these songs look fun but I think we should get Tom Sawyer free or at a cheaper price. We DO already have the song in the game, even though its a cover, kinda shady making us pay for the same song. :(
OTAM @ Aug 21st 2008 5:13PM
Another classic rock pack.....oh goody.
More metal please. KTHNXBI.
Dan @ Aug 21st 2008 7:43PM
OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG!!!!!!! After seeing Devo as DLC I was about to give up on Rock Back, but this... this is pure gold!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
James @ Aug 21st 2008 9:16PM
If you are shallow enough to give up RB because they offer Devo then sir, I am ashamed of you.

One of the secret features that we introduced in the Music Store patch was the ability to play "instrumental" songs. This means that the song itself doesn't have a vocal part, but does have all the other parts.
What does that mean for you? Well, it means you can't play YYZ as a vocalist because there's no vocal part. There's no leaderboards for Solo Vocal YYZ, no difficulty slot for it for vocals (in RB2, the notches disappear and it says "No Part"), and if you try and play YYZ as a vocalist it'll remind you that this is an instrumental track.
Hope that clears things up!

I'm still waiting on my Spirit of the Radio.
gd1ddy @ Aug 22nd 2008 12:49AM
i'm a fan of dlc and have gotten a good amount of songs but seeing how 3 of the 7 songs are already available between gh and rb why bother if you're not a big fan of Rush
Mattyplant @ Aug 22nd 2008 7:16AM
What the deuce lol! Who aint a fan of Rush? Greatest thing to come outta Canada!!
Ray Von Sixx @ Aug 22nd 2008 11:00AM
YYZ on Rock Band???? There is a god!
wintertwilight @ Aug 22nd 2008 7:58PM
Yeah, I feel really freakin' stupid for buying Limelight cover version. Am I going to be reimbursed? Probably not; I had to buy the "real" version of Working Man and I'll have to buy the "real" version of Limelight and Tom Sawyer. What a rip.
VEINERSHINIZLE @ Aug 24th 2008 2:29PM
I'm glad I didn't buy that shitty Limelight cover woooo
PWarren4 @ Aug 25th 2008 12:50PM
As I read this for the first time, Limelight comes on the radio playing in the background.
The Rock Gods are speaking to me...
Must Play Rush!
I shall pay homage to the Gods.
Manooel @ Aug 25th 2008 5:14PM
Don't mind the vocalist ! YYZ is the shiznit !! Can't wait to play that bass lines !!!
DenverMax27 @ Aug 25th 2008 11:00PM
I HATE RUSH. stop wasting releases on more rush! we don't need more of them, try some variety. jesus.
Maynard101 @ Aug 26th 2008 8:31AM
It's still not TOOL, but this will do just fine.
Jason @ Aug 26th 2008 11:39PM
