Late last week I headed down to the MTV office in Santa Monica to check out the goodies being released for Rock Band on Tuesday, October 20.
Two exciting new song packs are being released tomorrow for The Beatles: Rock Band and Rock Band.
Hardcore Beatles fan who played through the game looking for more songs to unlock will be happy to know that the full Abbey Road album will be available to download, plus those that download the full album will have access to a 16-minute medley of b-sides as a single track. Be sure to pick an instrument and a difficult you are proficient on, as this medley can, at times, kick your butt. I managed through it on hard difficulty on the drums, which, on The Beatles: Rock Band, isn’t too bad, except I almost failed out of one of the drum solos!
Rock Band fans will have another reason to stay in on a Friday night with your friends with the new Queen DLC 10 pack, with ultimate favorites such as “Another One Bites The Dust” and “Fat Bottomed Girls”. Unfortunately, no “Bohemian Rhapsody” on this pack, but never say never. Everyone likes to think of bands and songs they’d like to see on Rock Band, and Queen was probably on most people’s lists. Why didn’t they think of this sooner? I can see it now… households all over the country will be breaking out the face paint and platforms, and smashing their guitar controllers into the ground… well, maybe not. But there will certainly be a lot of Rock Band parties in your near future!
