Hopefully that doesn't preclude them working with a real rhythm game maker that can do it right
I did see a stand-alone HM guitar with a dozen songs built in at Target a while back. Just plug the RCA jacks in, no console needed.

Just got a new Elite.

Am I going to have to hunt down a Rock Band disc to export the tracks again since they were saved data?

If you're not transferring the data over from your old HDD with a transfer cable, then the answer is yes.

Gotta say that 'My Old School' may be my new favorite track on Rock Band. I think that any of the classic Dan would make for a great track as Becker's guitar on most of the songs is just incredible.

Plus, I love singing along with the song while playing.

In retrospect, it may be 'Love Spreads' by The Stone Roses. That song rocks all kind of hard.

Tho there's certainly dozens more Coop tracks I would love apart from poison that packs an instant buy for me.
Good stuff.

In many ways, I actually prefer to have live tracks.....I mean, in the game you are SUPPOSED to be in a band playing a live concert, not recording an album...live tracks make it seem more authentic....granted, some bands sound bad live (especially when their singers just don't have their voice anymore), but sometimes just playing along with the studio tracks doesn't seem as rocking to me....

While I was originally hoping Pearl Jam would continue to release their albums into RB as they are being re-released over the next two years, I'm actually more THRILLED that instead we are going to get a track pack or stand-alone game featuring a whole bunch of live tracks instead!!

That's because we made the announcement yesterday via the newsletter for those trusty super fans that have subscribed. We'll be doing more early DLC announcements in the future, so if you're interested in getting a jump on the news you can sign up here!

On with the content for next week!

Alice Cooper 6 Pack

“Under My Wheels” (Live)
“I’m Eighteen” (Live)
“Billion Dollar Babies” (Live)
“School’s Out” (Live)
“Poison”
“Vengeance is Mine”

And the Taking Back Sunday 3 Pack

“What’s It Feel Like to Be a Ghost?”
“Liar”
“MakeDamnSure”

(All tracks are original master recordings)

Release Date:
Tuesday, May 19, 2009 (Xbox LIVE Marketplace for Xbox 360®)
Thursday, May 21, 2009 (PlayStation®Store)

Price:
$1.99 (160 Microsoft Points for Xbox 360) per track
$9.99 (800 Microsoft Points for Xbox 360) for “Alice Cooper Pack 01”

I wonder if Alice's version of Because will be in the Beatles game?

I'm in for Billion Dollar Babies and School's Out for sure. I might snag the Taking Back Sunday pack too, though I wish they'd thrown in something off their first album, as everything since has disappointed me.

Agreed, but at least it's the 3 strongest songs from the last album. But it's odd that they have a new album coming out in just a few weeks and RB is putting out tracks from their album that's 3 years old and not working any of the new songs into the pack.
