More Offspring tracks coming to Rock Band

by Justin McElroy on Jun 18th 2008 10:22AM

A few of you are probably too young to remember, but there was a time in the late 90s when you couldn't turn on the radio or MTV (yes, MTV used to play videos) without seeing pop punk outfit The Offspring. Now, with a new album and a new track on Rock Band, they seem to be set for a resurgence of some sort, though it's unclear how successful the effort will be.

Those who want to recapture the halcyon days of 1998 will be happy to hear that the band is bringing several more songs to the rhythm game, according to their website. The list includes:

"Come Out And Play [Keep 'Em Separated]"
"Self Esteem"
"Gone Away"
"All I Want"
"Pretty Fly (For A White Guy)"
"The Kids Aren't Alright

There's no timetable listed, but we wouldn't be surprised to see an "Offspring Track Pack" in the near future.

Real rockz!

*is absolutely flabbergasted*

That was sarcasm.

=p

This may not be the most true Rock pack-- but it'll be one of the most fun packs, that's for damn sure.

I've only downloaded about 5 songs for the game, but the instant this thing goes live, it'll be downloading on my X360.

Cool Offspring is a pretty good band. Not huge into them but nice to see all the songs I do recognize. I can't wait to sing them, some of the charts should be fun.

I was REALLY into them back in the day, but yeah these songs seem like a good fit for RB

I'm sad that "Bad Habit" isn't in the mix. Now that would be fun to sing! You know what I'm talking about...

Offspring sucks.

I second that.

So's your face!

lol Fernando, of course you don't like The Offspring. There's not a mullet in the band. ;P

considering the amount of liquid cheese that pours out of my speakers when the offspring is on, they might aswell get some mullets surgically attached.

>=[

Woo! I can't wait to relive all those great Crazy Taxi moments by playing All I Want 4 times in a row.

YAH Yah yah yah Yah

It's time to make some CRAZY money!! Are you ready?!?!?!

Most of these songs will be really fun to play in RB.

All are pretty good tracks. I'll probably download the pack when ot comes out.

This is a good set of tracks.

I mean, let's be honest, you may have other preferences, but pretty much any one of these is going to be more interesting to play than anything by Foo Fighters.

THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST OF YOU!!!!

Oh who wouldn't enjoy singing that in Rock Band?

Vegeta... add me to Live, please.

Vegeta there are other words to the song so no one.

@Fernando

i'm pretty sure I already have you as a friend on my Xbox live.

SO WHO ARE YOU YEAH WHO ARE YOU YEAH WHO ARE YOU YEAH WHO ARE YOU etc.

Does anyone still have "All I want" still stuck in their head from Crazy Taxi like I do? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MP2g5LPH1-A

I still hear "Yah Yah Yah Yah Yah Yah" when I am driving my car at high speeds over hills. Ahh, the memories.

Very much. Crazy Taxi was quite addictive.

Nice to see this news spring up. I know that there was an Offspring track that had been talked about for Rock Band, but I'd never heard it. These are MUCH better.

Crazy Taxi 1 & 2 fans have the following burned into their brains:

"YAH YAH YAH YAH YAHHHH"

"THERE IS A CHAIN THAT'S NEVER BROKEN..."

"HEY WAIT! I DON'T GIVE A SHIT..."

Along with a few Bad Religion songs as well.

Pretty Fly For A White Guy is a no brainer, at least. Good for a party song I'd imagine.

Good news indeed.

Thank god. I was so happy when I saw their name last week, and then so disapoined when I saw it was only 1 track.

This makes me want a new Crazy Taxi game.

Game Informer says after Doo Little the next album is Rush moving pictures.

Nice!

Indeed, nice.

However, based on the Rush tracks that are in the game now, it might be all covers, which would suck.

I'm sure they'll be covers, but who cares. Covers have never bothered me. I have the real songs if I want to listen to the music.

jsn

Yes. There's nothing better than listen the Moving Pictures vinyl record.

Well... maybe is just me, but I like better the sound of a LP record instead of a CD.

OH MY GOD

Wait then YYZ will be in the game...huh the first song with no vocal chart? Or all little button presses the entire time.

YYZ time for the guitarist and singer to go have a smoke and a beer.

Give me 2112 from Rush. NOW!

I guess it was too much to hope for 'Bad Habit'.

Yes, yes it was. However one of their earliest songs, Tehran (or Baghdad based on the album), is quite prophetic and relevant today.

You stupid dumbshit goddam MOTHERFUCKER!

I'll buy it.

As long as there is no song called "Me and My Old Lady" and "Cool to Hate"...

*shudders*

Ixnay was a horrible album. That said...pretty good tracks from this set (lacks "Bad Habit" and "Not the One").

Really? Ixnay was one of my favourite albums, although I'll say that Cool to Hate and Me & My Old Lady definitely weren't my favourite tracks off it. Still a good album though, just darker than their previous stuff. The new album rocks though!

am I the only one annoyed by them? what's-his-face can't sing, you know that right? most of their songs involve screaming so high pitched that there's no discernible pitch at all. but i guess that's fine for a video game....

This is terrible news!!..... For my wallet that is!! Being in high-school in the 90's I can remember when they were on the radio at every turn. They are still today one of my favorite band!

Whhhyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy not Guitar Herooooooo??? :(

Offspring is my favorite band for a mile. I've been waiting forever for them to come to a rhythm game. So badly that if they made a Guitar Hero: The Offspring game and released it for $500 I would camp out for it.

So you can imagine how excited I was this Tuesday....until I remembered why I hadn't played Rock Band in months. Damnit even with all that wait I STILL didn't have fun playing the damn song because I hate the way the guitar plays on Rock Band.

I'll buy these because I can't resist, but I'd say there's a 90% chance playing this many songs straight on the guitar in Rock Band leads to me smashing my guitar against the wall in anger.

Damn you Red Octane for not getting your hands on these tracks. Damn you straight to hell.
