Flawless Drumming (25g)

Want to finally get your Flawless Drumming achievement in Rock Band 2 for Xbox360? Still trying but to no avail…? Just can’t play expert drums?

Well then just download the NIrvana Track Pack or specifically Polly.

Why?

Because there are just eight notes.

Yes you read that correctly, eight total notes and only four spots where you play.

You can’t five star it on drums this way but you can at least get a simple achievement. You should also be able to accomplish this with Rock Band 1 as well, I have yet to confirm this however.

Rock on!

Also don’t forget about the new downloads that were released today.

This weeks Rock Band downloadable content includes one of my all time favorite songs from the decade past.

Blink182’s Dammit.

I guess there’s some other releases as well:

Siouxsie and the Banshees Pack – 440 MSP ($5.49)

• “Hong Kong Garden” – 160 MSP ($1.99)
• “The Killing Jar” – 160 MSP ($1.99)
• “Kiss Them For Me” – 160 MSP ($1.99)

Blink 182 – “Dammit” – 160 MSP ($1.99)
The Psychedelic Furs – “Pretty In Pink” – 160 MSP ($1.99)
Silversun Pickups – “Melatonin” – 160 MSP ($1.99)
Silversun Pickups – “Well Thought Out Twinkles” – 160 MSP ($1.99)

You can see the “official” release notes here.

Well it’s that time again, Rock Band downloads for the week of Oct/21st, no full albums this week but we do get to hear some more Nirvana (finally).

The track pack includes the following:

Breed
Lounge Act
On a Plain
Polly
Something in the Way
Stay Away
Territorial Pissings

It will be $11 [US] for all seven songs.

Official release notes here.

AC/DC : Live

Well it finally happened… AC/DC is coming to town, in “full” album form that is.

And guess what, the tracks are remixed by Mike Fraser for Rock Band. Awesome.

It looks that this release will be even more expensive than the Red Hot Chilli Peppers release of Blood Sugar Sex Magik which is $20 [1,600MSPoints]. The AC/DC “Track Pack” as it’s called will run somewhere around $40 [US]!!!

Which again I’m sure is not squarely on Harmonix but on those that hold the master and or publishing rights to the tracks.

Weak.

The tracks are really solid though:

“Thunderstruck”
“Shoot to Thrill”
“Back in Black”
“Hell Ain’t a Bad Place to Be”
“Heatseeker”
“Fire Your Guns”
“Jailbreak”
“The Jack”
“Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap”
“Moneytalks”
“Hells Bells”
“High Voltage”
“Whole Lotta Rosie”
“You Shook Me All Night Long”
“T.N.T.”
“Let There Be Rock”
“Highway To Hell”
“For Those About to Rock (We Salute You)”

Nice.

The entire press release can be read here.

Well it’s that time of the week again, Tuesday… and you know what that means, more downloadable content for all you Rock Band and Rock Band 2 junkies out there.

This week sees the release of the Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Blood Sugar Sex Magik LP.

The ablum contains the following tracks:

The Power of Equality
If You Have to Ask
Breaking the Girl
Funky Monks
Suck My Kiss
I Could Have Lied
Mellowship Slinky in B Major
The Righteous & The Wicked
Blood Sugar Sex Magik
Under the Bridge
Naked in the Rain
Apache Rose Peacock
The Greeting Song
My Lovely Man
Sir Psycho Sexy
They’re Red Hot

*Give It Away, is already included on the Rock Band 2 game disc.

Hold up just one sec though… this one’s gonna run you a cool 1,600 MS Points… yep that’s $19.99 [US] for those not fully in the Matrix yet.

A pretty good album and what will probably be mucho fun in the coming weekends… however, OUCH!!! Before anyone tears into Harmonix on this one, I can almost garuntee you that the cost issue is one of licensing.

Period.

So today sees the release of more “fresh” DLC for Rock Band/2 today, this weeks releases include the previously promoted Rush album Moving Pictures.

Rush – Moving Pictures (Album) – [$10.99 / 880 MS Points]

Tom Sawyer (orig version)
Red Barchetta
YYZ
Limelight (orig version)
The Camera Eye
Witch Hunt
Vital Signs

Individual Track Release(s): – [$1.99 / 160 MS Points Ea.]

Bad Religion – Sorrow
The Cult – She Sells Sanctuary
Hot Hot Heat – Bandages
Kasabian – Shoot the Runner
Sleater-Kinney – You’re No Rock N Roll Fun
Stone Roses – Love Spreads

So if you were to grab all the releases this week it would run you aproximately $23 [US]. Can’t say that I’d be in on that, but to each his own.

Maybe someday we’ll see a Werid Al greatest hits comp for Rock Band… yeah, just Eat It.

Well it’s hump-day, again… (finally) and I picked up Rock Band 2 the other day. The Bunny and I haven’t played it much but it seems to be a nice step up from the previous version, especially in the area of song selection.

I also got my first 100% gamerscore game, which of course is Madden 09 thanks to some help from the Bunny.

1,000/1,000G Oh yeah baby!!!

Did anyone else get the Lucasarts latest, the Force Unleashed? If so is it worth more then a rental? I played the Demo and I have to say I was only so-so after being amped up for it to come out.

Are you guys still rockin’ out there?

The Bunny and myself have been off and on for the past few weeks… we tried one last eighteen track set list and failed a few times on the twelfth song, resulting in the lost of around 2.2 million fans. [sigh]

So we abandoned that we’ll probably get back to it at some point but you know how it goes.

This weeks DLC was announced over on the forums and it seems “doable”?

This Ain’t A Scene, It’s An Arms Race – Fallout Boy

Date With The Night – Yeah, Yeah, Yeahs

It Hurts – Angels And Airwaves

There was also mention about the Wii and PS2 “Track Pack” for a MSRP of $29.99 which will hit this coming June.
