by Alexander Sliwinski { Apr 25th 2008 at 2:30PM }

Wanna go for a ride? Next week the Rock Band store updates with songs by The Mother Hips and one of the only songs you'll ever need to have by The Smashing Pumpkins.

Individual songs (No pack offering)

"Red Tandy" - The Mother Hips (160 MS Points / $2)
"Time Sick Son of a Grizzly Bear" - The Mother Hips (160 MS Points / $2)
"Zero" - The Smashing Pumpkins (160 MS Points / $2)

Videos for this week's Rock Band DLC are after the break (currently having difficulty finding "Time Sick Son..."). As usual, the tracks will be available next Tuesday and Thursday for Xbox 360 and PS3 respectively.

Zero has to be one of my favorite Smashing Pumpkins songs. Glad to see it hit Rock Band!

JerJer @ Apr 25th 2008 2:36PM

agreed!!!

next: 1979, rocket, hummer, disarm, butterfly with bullet wings.....ARE YOU LISTENING HARMONIX?!

Tiptup300 @ Apr 25th 2008 3:12PM

I want Siamese Dream. Every single song on that album is pure sex.

Tiptup300 @ Apr 25th 2008 3:15PM

Melon Collie and Infinite sadness, not so much...

Desert Eagle @ Apr 25th 2008 3:42PM

Me too.

By the way, do I have to finish the game to be able to download the DLC, or is it ready to be downloaded? Because I'm having a VERY, VERY, VERY hard time trying to download it, so if anyone can help me out I'll appreciate it, because I'm a very sad eagle without my Judas Priest...

@Desert Eagle: If you're on XBL, there's been problems on and off this weke.

But no, you do not have to beat the game in any sense to get DLC. It's available from the moment you first boot up.

Desert Eagle @ Apr 25th 2008 4:26PM

Yes, I'm on XBL, and so far, the only song that appears on the song list is "Still alive" and only that song I have managed to download. No Ride The Lightning nor Screaming for vengeance nor March of the Pigs and the many more DLC songs appear on the list. The rest of the categories in the main page always say "Coming soon" and I can't access them, every new release is shown on the right of the categories, but I can't access them. What the crap?

And this has been happening to me since last week of March, when I finally bought Rock Band.

OMGOMG @ Apr 25th 2008 2:36PM

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

OMGOMG @ Apr 25th 2008 2:46PM

Sorry. I've listened to a lot of Smashing Pumpkins, and I couldn't get into them. They're very talented, just not my cup of tea. The Mother Hips I don't know enough about.

Sorry, I swear I'm not a music snob.

Tiptup300 @ Apr 25th 2008 3:16PM

All you need to listen to is Siamese Dream.

Farseer (GDI) @ Apr 25th 2008 4:10PM

Siamese Dream is brilliant.

B3astofthe3ast @ Apr 25th 2008 2:40PM

I didn't think they'd be able to top the awesomeness that was the judas priest album this soon.

Redface @ Apr 25th 2008 2:44PM

I am the only person excited for the Mother Hips? "Time We Had" was awesome, and I can't wait for these other two songs!

brandon_r87 : Brawl : 4897-5857-5091 @ Apr 25th 2008 3:09PM

Yeah, I'll probably get the Mother Hips songs, but not Smashing Pumpkins.

ill trooper @ Apr 25th 2008 2:52PM

Hmmm. Another week of bands they already have songs from. Good bands, but I want them to continue reaching further than the bands they already have on board (i.e. The Police, The Ramones, The Clash, 'The Weezer') and shock us with more stuff like Judas Priest. Let us buy Mötley Crüe classics! And what about '1979' from Smashing Pumpkins?

It's cool though... The fact that we can expect new releases every week nullifies nearly all serious complaints.

E.J. @ Apr 25th 2008 3:40PM

I agree with your comment wholeheartedly. Rock Band's DLC offers something for almost everyone. If this week's DLC isn't your bag, then there's always hope for next week.

FOXHOUND @ Apr 25th 2008 2:56PM

that d00d looks like a lady

FrankTheCrank @ Apr 25th 2008 2:59PM

Seriously, that chick in the photo looks, well, uhm...yuck. Looks like she's either a heroin junkie, tired, or just has lots of problems going on in her life. I'll pass on the chick.

Smashing Pumpkins are cool though.

FOXHOUND @ Apr 25th 2008 3:16PM

and that stare... -hides- x_x

Still needz moar Pink Floyd!!

MasterInsan0 @ Apr 25th 2008 4:50PM

Indeed.

JJ Rooster @ Apr 25th 2008 3:01PM

Harmonix is just releasing more Mother Hips because they don't pay them high royalties, in return for exposure of the band. That, or HMX devs really like their music...

But fuck that noise! Give me popular music that people at my parties have heard of, you self-serving douche bags!!!

Ronshatmycarl @ Apr 25th 2008 3:45PM

The same comment I wanted to make. I think that these bonus songs coming from "the good old boys" at Harmonix, have changed from free add ons for fun to hey look at us , buy our album, we're cool. It feels like they just shoving this stuff down our throat. Give us good songs people want.

Vote with your wallet.

MasterInsan0 @ Apr 25th 2008 4:53PM

Yeah, that's right--vote with your wallets. If you don't like The Mother Hips, don't buy their music. However, trying to impose your opinion on others while trying to seem "wise" is the very definition of douchebaggery. So STFU and follow your own advice.

KEFIOX @ Apr 25th 2008 3:14PM

I'll let this week slide because of the Judas Priest album this past week. That and the fact that Zero is a badass song. But The Mother Hips, come on. Seriously there was no one better than them they could add this week. Why not a full Smashing Pumpkins pack?

bakes @ Apr 25th 2008 3:38PM

WHAT HAPPENED TO FUEL?

Perosnally I feel it's one of the weaker MET songs but GOD it would be fun to play on ROCK BAND.

Desert Eagle @ Apr 25th 2008 3:50PM

It was thrown into the depths of the darkness, to never be seen on Rock Band and be eaten by a grue.

MinimumWageNinja @ Apr 25th 2008 3:36PM

Definitely, 100% downloading Zero... though I probably won't play it for a few good days due to GTA, play it once, then go back to GTA for a long time.

teknomusik @ Apr 25th 2008 3:45PM

Finally something non-classic (and good)! Who the hell are the mother hips?

Dan @ Apr 25th 2008 5:33PM

The band that does "Time We Had." One of the bonus songs.

ww3ace @ Apr 25th 2008 3:54PM

I'm still waiting for Hysteria

Michael @ Apr 25th 2008 4:04PM

I was hoping for Mayonaise!

Vegnagun bwf @ Apr 25th 2008 4:03PM

Where is Queen?

Tiptup300 @ Apr 26th 2008 2:25AM

Wheres Vanilla Ice?

[.sm0ke.] @ Apr 25th 2008 4:03PM

This is a Rock Band thread and Fernando hasn't posted yet? Odd... I hope nothing happened to him.

Moffka @ Apr 25th 2008 5:10PM

Zero = SOLD!

Chairman7 @ Apr 25th 2008 7:07PM

First Nine Inch Nails, now Zero by the Smashing Pumpkins' Zero! I want Rock Band so bad! Please release this in Australia - I don't care if its $400, heck I'll give you a kidney! I want to relive my 90's goth rock fantasies!

UkuleleSHIMA @ Apr 25th 2008 7:12PM

"where's this? Where's that?" Every week, the same lame comments when it isn't YOUR favorite band. Calm down and be patient.

HMX, I think your awesome what your doing even if its personally not my favorite music. But I'm ALWAYS open to trying out songs I've never heard. Thanks!
