Well, you'll have an insider at the conference. I probably won't be able to post it up right away, but when I get back to the hotel room, I can spill the juicy details.

Re: Rock Band: Official Thread

Here's what I remember:

The blog about the note made it sound like there was an unknown Mega-Artist coming.

The note itself just said they'd be able to play a new Mega-Artist a day early.

I contend that it's just a blogger reading too deep between the lines and it's just Pearl Jam. Would love to be wrong.

That'll be cool, but with all the journalists there, we'll know as fast or faster than you will

No date was specified, but it does coincide with the week Ten is released, so that it more than likely but we'll see.

I just don't care for their stuff. I've got a Zune and am completely happy with that over an iPod. Whenever MS gets around to releasing a "ZunePhone", I'll be all over it.

I don't think my wallet could take U2, SRV and Pearl Jam.

Re: Rock Band: Official Thread

Wasn't U2 one of the strongly rumored bands mentioned way back before GH:Aerosmith was announced when Activision was batting around the talk of doing artist themed full releases? Was that all squashed over time?

It was confirmed by HMXSean that this mega-artist was Lenny Kravitz

I think you may be confusing two different things. There is supposed to be an announcement of a "mega-artist" coming to RB this month (probably at GDC).

If you have a URL or something that specifically states that Kravitz is this mega-artist, I'd love to see it.

Right on. Kravitz was just coincidently the next artist announced on weekly DLC. He wasn't the "Mega-Artist" referenced in the invitation sent out.

Hey everybody,

Next week we have four tracks that cover a good bit of territory. We have two more tracks from the Offspring, a Grammy-winning R.E.M. song with "Losing My Religion", and a track from Richard Thompson named one of the top 20 guitarists of all time by Rolling Stone. We will be announcing the Wii DLC for next week later.


Tracks:
The Offspring- “All I Want”
The Offspring- “The Kids Aren't Alright”
R.E.M.- “Losing My Religion”
Richard Thompson- “The Way That It Shows”

All tracks are masters.

Release Dates:
Tuesday, March 10, 2009 (Xbox LIVE Marketplace for Xbox 360®)
Thursday, March 12, 2009 (PlayStation®Store)

Price:
$1.99 (160 Microsoft Points for Xbox 360) per track
Looks like the other two Offspring tracks finally showed up.

Mine has it too.

Of course, I edited it in because I wanted to get the info first before someone beat me.

Haha, and I took longer with the first post because I wanted it right

Amazing week, imo, and I don't even know the Richard Thompson dude.

Sweet! Love the R.E.M. surprise.

I'd also like to point out that's a Warner-era R.E.M. track, contrary to the earlier no-Warner rumors from a week ago, so I assume Jane's Addiction is still a possibility.
