Rock Band Weekly: Weezer gets set to Doolittle

by Ross Miller on Jun 20th 2008 3:30PM

Last week's announcement of The Pixies' Doolittle was a bit premature, but the full album is definitely coming next week. Additionally, three Weezer tracks from the new Red Album (none of which are titled Pork and Beans) are also coming out next week. All songs are master tracks for pristine rocking ability.

Fun Fact: Weezer's Rivers Cuomo cites Pixies as a major influence. They recorded a cover of the song Velouria for the tribute album Where is My Mind?

Weezer Pack (440 MS points / $5.49) -- All songs are also sold individually (160 MS Points / $2)

"Dreamin"
"The Greatest Man That Ever Lived"
"Troublemaker"

The Pixies' Doolittle (1520 MS points / $19) -- All songs are also sold individually (160 MS Points / $2)

"Crackity Jones"
"Dead"
"Debaser"
"Gouge Away"
"Here Comes Your Man"
"Hey"
"I Bleed"
"La la Love You"
"Monkey Gone To Heaven"
"Mr Grieves"
"No 13 Baby"
"Silver"
"Tame"
"There Goes My Gun"

Videos for Doolittle can be found here. After the break, peep the three Weezer tracks. The songs will be available next Tuesday and Thursday on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 respectively.

Must buy the Pixies. Frank Black commands it!

@NATO_Duke - That means you actually have to play the game!!! Xpired Playdoh has been missing its bassit for WEEKS, bro!

Bro? Scary.

Too bad the new Weezer album is absolute shit.

I feel bad that Rivers was so hurt at the reception to Pinkerton that every weezer album is now made as a musical fuck you to all the bands ex-fans.

P.S.

HEY!

Sorry a bug crawled up your ass and died. The newer Weezer may not be the emo masterpiece that was Pinkerton but they are not "absolute shit"

must be a devil between us

if you go i will surely die...

Yes, its absolute shit. Blue album still owns though.

...I like Red.

Weezer ONLY made two albums: Blue and Pinkerton.

Everything else is insipid produced bullshit.

Weezer ONLY made two albums: Blue and Pinkerton.

Everything else is insipid unfeeling overproduced garbage.

Still needs more Pink Floyd, I'm going crazy here!

Oh wow. I don't think the new album is great, and it's a bit short, but there are some good songs on there and 'Greatest Man That Ever Lived" is one of them. "Troublemaker" is fine as well. Sometimes that's just the way it is, a band evolves and it's not what we all wanted but I'm not mad. "Hashpipe" sounded lame to me when I first heard it but I'd love to play it in RockBand.

...And as to wondering how old those of us who aren't loathing the new 'red' album; I'm old.

Your stupid if you don't like the Red Album. It's a masterpiece, best work Rivers did since Pinkerton.

Truer words have never been spoken. I was so excited when I heard Weezer was doing a new album hoping it would be on par with the Blue Album but no. This feels like a big kick in the ass to all the fans.

this album really is bad and wow "the greatest man that ever lived" has got to be the worst lyrics ever written in a song and that even takes into consideration some rap songs. Having said that, these songs might be fun to sing vocally because of the diversity of rhythm and pitch.

Red is a mix of Blue and Pink, if you don't like it... your no fan of =w=, it is a masterpiece.

yes...they are now "absolute shit"

he uses 'Underwear' in rhymes on this album constantly......

gimme some Matt Sharp era Weezer any day...not this goofball pop puke

Keep Weezer coming!

More Pinkerton. Now.

14 tracks for $19 is pretty good, I hope that one day a full CD comes out that I want. Maybe one day they will have a method where you will buy the CD for the game and receive a digital download of it as well. That would be music gaming heaven.

I'm upset by the lack of Pork and Beans, but otherwise, it's all good.

where is the song "where is my mind" Perhaps one of my favorites...

On the album Surfer Rosa. This is songs from DooLittle.

The link for the Doolittle videos is broken. There's an extra http:// in there.

They see a weakness in my wallet, and they Gouge Away.

Must be a devil between us

I'm upset by the lack of Pork and Beans, but otherwise, it's all good.

I'm so upset that I had to reiterate. For realz, this was intentional, not a double post.

/lies

I learned how to play Pork and Beans and its really, really easy so it would be boring as hell in rockband. It's only 4 chords and the beginning melody, so it would be crazy easy and no fun.

ohman ohman, I saw the headline on this article and immediately saw weezer. I was/am soooo stoked for a 'Only In Dreams' rock band track.

It's long, but the track I can really compare it to is 'Green Grass And High Tides' on rock band. Long song, not too much vocal, but a really really great instrument song. Soooo wanting that one.

Sorry bro, It's not "only in Dreams." Dreamin is a big pile of...well let's say it is NO WHERE near as good as "Only In Dreams."

Might have to hit up that weezer. I have a cover of Mr.Grieves that i really enjoy so i may buy that too. Yeay pixies.

Oh... realz rockz...

Fernando, doesnt there come a point when you play so many Ubisoft DS games that you end every word with a "z"?

I hope you're being serious, fernando, because Doolittle is one of the greatest albums of all time. youtube 'gouge away,' 'tame,' or 'here comes your man.' or any other track from this masterpiece.

Fernando, you should stick to trolling PS3 fanboys. I'm surprised though. For once everyone on Joystiq likes a band. And by God they picked a damn good band.

Why lack of Pork & Beans? ;-;
Goooodddd Red album is so much better than Make Believe.

Moar Weezer plox.

Why is 'Wave of Mutilation' missing from Doolittle?

Weird!

I hope the next DLC is a tripple pack featuring;Black Hole Sun, Mississip Queen, and Roxanne.

seriously? Anyways it's already in the game.
That title launched with the game.

It's already on the disc in the game, so it isn't part of the full-album DLC.

Its already in Rock Band, no need to have a download for it.

Hmmm... I don't know. Maybe because it's already in Rock Band? ;)

Just because no one has said it yet, it's already in the game.

This is fucking incredible. The greatest man that ever lived is constantly on loop in my head these days. Epic, epic win.

Troublemaker is a particularly fun jam. Looking forward to playing these.

Ok are U Serious we get the Pixes Album & THREE of the best track from the new Weezer Album. X-Mass done come early. Guitar Hero gets owned again! Hows that Coldplay DLC working out there for ya. Thanks Harmonix! P.S. Harmonix how bought a greatest hits vol pack that includes Guitar Hero 1 & 2 song's and soome SYSTEM OF A DOWN Packs. How cool could that be!

Holy McFuck! WEEZER!

Three of the best tracks from Red Album AND fucking Doolittle! Too bad I don't have Rock Band. :( Looks like I'll have to buy them for my friend's game. Yeah, I want to play them THAT much!
p.s. "Greatest Man That Ever Lived"= best Weezer song since anything from Pinkerton. :P
