Rock Band Weekly: Nine Inch Nails and Shinedown

by Alexander Sliwinski { Jul 18th 2008 at 6:50PM }

Although we'd gotten used to three songs being added every week to Rock Band's music store, Harmonix told us this week a little bit more could become the norm as the developer pushes to have 500 songs by the end of the year. This week, the band Trent Reznor built and Shinedown add some songs to the library.

Nin Pack (440 MS points / $5.49) -- Also sold seperately (160 MS Points / $2)

"Burn"
"Capital G"
"Last"

Individual Shinedown tracks (160 MS points / $2)

"Devour"
"Junkies For Fame"

Videos for the tracks can be found after the break. The consoles return to a regular DLC schedule next week (following this week's Tuesday release of The Who pack), with songs being available next Tuesday and Thursday on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 respectively.

Always good to have more NIN but where's Head Like a Hole? I'll have to listen to that other Shinedown song but I like Devour a lot so this is definitely a good week for me.

Last is one of my favorite NIN songs ever. The entire Broken album would be a great addition to rock band, very "rock" based NIN, and it's a shorter album, so it would be cheaper than the $20 Dolittle download. WOOOO!

KEFIOX @ Jul 18th 2008 11:17PM

I agree completely. Last is awesome, as is most (if not all) of Broken. But if we are getting a NIN full album DLC I'd want Pretty Hate Machine. Every song on that album is badass.

What the heck is a "Shinedown"?

Kizzle @ Jul 18th 2008 7:52PM

Our unabashed dictionary defines Shinedown as "Yet another bland rock radio band that may as well be called Nickelback or Staind."

Jackson @ Jul 18th 2008 8:49PM

It's like a Phoenix Down, only with moonshine.

NoHitHair @ Jul 19th 2008 7:21PM

Wait, are these guys on that device people listen to music on? You know, that piece of propaganda trash?

Oh the radio. That's right. It's been a long time.

Joe @ Jul 18th 2008 7:01PM

Hell Yeah gimme more NIN tracks!!!

tc @ Jul 18th 2008 7:03PM

wow, some nine inch nails? Reznor is one of the few american artists producing anyway decent music anymore!

Yeah, i said it!

Lewis (RROD: July 16) @ Jul 18th 2008 7:05PM

+1

I agree.

kavendano14 @ Jul 18th 2008 7:05PM

I have no idea what the fuck you're talking about, can you re-write the sentence please.

tc @ Jul 18th 2008 7:07PM

stick a space between the compound word "anyway".

if you're still having trouble after that minor correction, then learn to read.

Ryan @ Jul 19th 2008 4:45AM

That still doesn't make sense grammatically. I think you meant to say "half-way" instead of "anyway". Or at least I think that's what you meant. The sentence is confusing. I'm usually not a grammar nazi, just don't rip the guy a new one for requesting clarification, albeit in an agressive manner.

tc @ Jul 19th 2008 11:33AM

i guess the phrase is more colloquial than i thought, but for us to say "that film wasn't any way good" would mean "that film wasn't good at all".

"just don't rip the guy a new one for requesting clarification, albeit in an agressive manner."

you're right, i apologise

Lewis (RROD: July 16) @ Jul 18th 2008 7:04PM

I think Trent likes this game.

Or maybe it's cause his songs are easily avilable.

Young_Nastyman @ Jul 18th 2008 11:32PM

He loves Rock Band, shreds expert guitar too

Sveppi @ Jul 19th 2008 8:56AM

Apparently he "auditioned" one of the drummers for the Ghosts I-IV by playing a Rock Band session with him.

I really need to get Rock Band. But since NIN is DLC, I think I'll wait for RB2. I think I mentioned this a while back, but this game really needs some Electric Six.

MC Double Def DP @ Jul 18th 2008 8:28PM

FIRE AT THE TACO BELL!

BlaznGoldstein @ Jul 19th 2008 5:24PM

DON'T YOU WANT TO KNOW HOW WE KEEP STARTING FIRES?

John @ Jul 19th 2008 6:28PM

Works every time. :D

Henry @ Jul 18th 2008 7:15PM

For the love of god! Just release this on PS3 in Europe! Please!

Kizzle @ Jul 18th 2008 7:26PM

LAST is one of the best NIN songs out there. Great (and unexpected) choice.

metric152 @ Jul 18th 2008 8:21PM

Can you please update the NIN Burn video with the correct link?

Not sure who thought it was cool to dub the song to the MGS4 into.

Mike918 @ Jul 18th 2008 7:56PM

Woohoo NIN!...Shinedown is OK i kind of like it.

trent82 @ Jul 18th 2008 8:00PM

oh yes....oh yes....

7 nin songs in 1 game is so unexpected, but completely awesome. more!

Ass Masterson @ Jul 18th 2008 8:17PM

Life is pain. Conformist.

Mutagenaric @ Jul 18th 2008 9:36PM

Lol, what? Lolwut?

As you can see, I'm very confused here... An emo troll, I guess. That's nice.

Or maybe it was a joke? About what, I'm sure I don't know. Random poking-fun-at-emo sessions are always nice, but, generally speaking, some sort of contextual reason is usually presented first. I'm afraid it simply wasn't funny to me, if it was in fact an attempt at humor.

whistlepig @ Jul 19th 2008 3:49AM

nazi cheerleaders all of them

Leobebes @ Jul 18th 2008 8:17PM

God I never heard of those Shinedown guys. Its crap. How come most of these bands sound like they sing in the background of Coors Light commercials. Is there actually a name to this style of music. Eck.

ill trooper @ Jul 19th 2008 12:57AM

Look how bulked-out Trent Reznor is! Is that him or did Henry Rollins step in for that photoshoot?

phobic99 @ Jul 19th 2008 7:50AM

Yeah I noticed that too. Looks like he wants to beat the shit out of you... or me.

Faites @ Jul 19th 2008 12:54AM

Some of Shinedowns earlier stuff is decent, but their new CD is bland and uninteresting. Also, I think the reason that Pretty Hate Machine is not in Rock Band is due to there not being a lot of guitar in it. It contains mostly synth and vocals. That being said, I would still buy Pretty Hate Machine if it were released in Rock Band.
