Rock Band DLC: Rush's Moving Pictures album

by Dustin Burg { Aug 21st 2008 at 3:30PM }

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

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...

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!
