Rock Band Weekly: Avenged Sevenfold, Offspring and Crooked X

by Alexander Sliwinski { Jun 13th 2008 at 5:00PM }

There seems to have been a miscommunication regarding next week's Rock Band DLC between certain entities, but now here's what's actually being added next week. The Pixies' Doolittle will be available on the Rock Band music store the week of the 24th.

Individual song

"Afterlife" - Avenged Sevenfold (160 MS Points / $2)
"Critical Acclaim" - Avenged Sevenfold (160 MS Points / $2)
"Hammerhead" - The Offspring (160 MS Points / $2)
"Rock N Roll Dream" - Crooked X (80 MS Points / $1)

Videos for these songs can be found after the break. The tracks will be available to download next Tuesday and Thursday for Xbox 360 and PS3, respectively.

Woohoo A7X!

jsn @ Jun 13th 2008 5:07PM

not fans of any of the bands, but they will all be fun to play.

Haggard @ Jun 27th 2008 6:32PM

With the benefit of hindsight I can now point out that the Afterlife solo is a bitch :P

These bands look like a bunch of dad haters.

Must have been tough on them, growin' up in the suburbs and all...

Christian @ Jun 13th 2008 6:01PM

The kids aren't alright.

fecsmith @ Jun 13th 2008 5:10PM

Some A7x, it's about time! - I'm psyched for Tuesday now!!

Brett from Atlanta @ Jun 13th 2008 5:20PM

Yeah, but they could have picked a much better song than critical acclaim...

DWells55 @ Jun 13th 2008 6:35PM

Yeah, I agree on Critical Acclaim, but I like Afterlife a lot, it's pretty catchy. Wouldn't have minded seeing Almost Easy though.

Oh and about time we got some of The Offspring. Hammerhead's a great song and I'll be glad to play it, but I *really* would've liked to see some of their older stuff.

Daniel @ Jun 13th 2008 5:18PM

A7X finally!!!!!!!!!

StevenRafael @ Jun 13th 2008 5:19PM

Damnit. I was excited about the Doolittle album. Oh well, another week isn't bad at all.

Brett from Atlanta @ Jun 13th 2008 5:22PM

At least we finally know when its coming out, instead of hoping that it will here every week just to be disappointed. At Least now we have a date to look forward to.

I can't wait for Doolittle. Furthermore, I can't wait to watch someone try to sing to "Tame." :P "Here Comes Your Man" FTW!!!

Desert Eagle @ Jun 13th 2008 5:23PM

Are you serious? The Offspring and Crooked X?

Damn, I don't know if I should wait for the Pixies album DLC or buy this pack next week. The devs know how to empty out your wallets...

Vcize @ Jun 13th 2008 5:23PM

Offspring YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!

I wish it were some of the older stuff and on GH, but I'll take what I can get. It's about time.

Farseer (GDI) @ Jun 13th 2008 5:35PM

Agree and disagree. :)

Stuff from Ixnay or Americana would really be welcome, but, dude, why would you only want to play the guitar when can play the guitar, bass, drums and sing?

Stump @ Jun 13th 2008 5:41PM

Seriously, the new album is probably good but why not make it a pack with a few classics. Cant get my head my head around you on the drums would be sick.

bearxor @ Jun 13th 2008 6:15PM

Yeah - what I said in the Pixies thread about going on three weeks not buying DLC... Forget it. Huge Offspring fan so I'll at be picking up that track.

I, like you, wish it was older stuff, but hopefully getting a track by the band will be a stepping stone to getting more.

GunForHire @ Jun 13th 2008 7:54PM

Also excited as hell for Hammerhead, and hopefully more tracks.

By the way, their new album kicks ass. Easily their best stuff in the last decade.

bluezy @ Jun 13th 2008 5:31PM

Woo, Sevenfold.

Gewurztraminer says: R.O.B. is the last Cylon! @ Jun 13th 2008 6:42PM

MarkHawk @ Jun 13th 2008 7:17PM

Awesome Offspring! Hoping for more. Go for best of album. :-D

Kyera @ Jun 13th 2008 7:52PM

Wow, that Crooked X track actually sounds like it'll be quite fun to play.

GunForHire @ Jun 13th 2008 7:53PM

Dunno what video for Hammerhead Joystiq picked, but it's an oldie. Hell Ron's still on drums in that video. Obviously some YouTube goon just slapped the audio track onto the footage for some entirely different track.

Mad Hater @ Jun 13th 2008 8:08PM

All people who say "A7X" should be drug out into the street and violently beaten to death with a wooden cooking spoon.

[.sm0ke.] @ Jun 13th 2008 10:48PM

All people who LIKE Avenged Sevenfold should be drug out into the street and violently beaten to death with a wooden cooking spoon.

tcc3 @ Jun 14th 2008 12:40AM

All people who like {insert band here} should be shot.

And get off my lawn you damn kids!

So many music snobs...I'm so glad you're here to tell me whats ok to listen to.

ApolloIV @ Jun 14th 2008 8:31PM

Mad Hater deserves 4 stars.

Sam @ Jun 13th 2008 9:54PM
