Rock Band Weekly: Steve Miller, Belly, Rob Zombie, Godsmack, Mute Math, Ghost Hounds

by Ross Miller on Jan 16th 2009 2:47PM

Fun fact of the day: Steve Miller Band's "Space Cowboy" and "The Joker" are not the same song, but "Joker" is often referred to by both names because of its first line, "Some people call me the Space Cowboy..." Just keep that in mind as you're shopping for Rock Band DLC next week.

Steve Miller Band 3-Pack (440

/ $5.49)

"Space Cowboy" (160 / $2)
"Take the Money and Run" (160 / $2)
"The Joker" (160 / $2)

Individual songs

"I Stand Alone" - Godsmack (160 / $2)
"Feed the Tree" - Belly (160 / $2)
"Wind Me Up" - Ghost Hounds (160 / $2)
"Typical" - Mute Math (160 / $2)
"War Zone" - Rob Zombie (160 / $2)

Videos for these songs can be found after the break (except for "Wind Me Up," which we couldn't find -- sorry, folks!). All tracks are masters and will be available for download next Tuesday and Thursday for Xbox 360 and PS3, respectively. The DLC content for Wii's Music Store should be up later today, according to Harmonix's Sean Baptiste.

NO NO NO NO NO!

For YEARS I have been taunting my friend about how there are never any Godsmack songs in Guitar Hero/Rock Band and that it proves that Godsmack sucks.

Now my plans have ended in ruins!

No, its ok, they still suck.

There's no Pink Floyd or Dire Straits in either franchise.

And I would actually kill another human being to get that.

Yeah, it was never meant to be a serious debate. But it was always so nice to be able to defend my like of Audioslave by saying something along the lines of "at least they were good enough to be in a Guitar Hero game. Can't say that about Godsmack!"

And Pink Floyd is my favorite band, by the way.

"I Stand Alone" is the perfect movie trailer song, though. I almost went to see a movie starring The Rock based on that one guitar riff, it's that damned cool when paired with moving pictures of people getting kicked.

Goddammit HMX, where is SRV???!!!

Yeah, where is it? I want to download and play the Texas Flood album already!

I third that.

Steve Miller will get my money. The rest of those suck. Sorry Rob.

give MuteMath a chance. the drums are going to be challenging and the guitar part, while not the hardest, is fun in real life and should translate well to RB.

Mute Math is absolutely amazing. I haven't been this psyched for the DLC in months. This blows my mind.

Thank you so much Harmonix!

Take the Money and Run? HELL YEAH!

EDIT: Some people call me the Space Cowboy

I think I'll stick with Maurice. Don't fancy embarrassing myself in public.

Exactly. He says "Some people call me THE space cowboy..." in 'The Joker' because of the success of his earlier song 'Space Cowboy'. Either way it's dope to have Steve Miller on RB... Funky dude! That said, I wish 'Fly Like An Eagle,' 'Jet Airliner,' and especially 'Rock'n Me' were available too.

Rockin' Me is already in RB2. It makes my hand hurt =)

Steve Miller is world famous and no one actually knows what he looks like.

No they don't.

That's my title.

Great week, something for everyone.

I thought RB2 already had The Joker...? Or is that Guitar Hero World Tour?

Maybe you are thinking of "Joker and the Thief".

It has Rockin' Me, I believe.

Nope, it's in GHWT.

I may pick up the Steve Miller songs though.

Thank you, Harmonix, for providing "The Joker." Now I have one less reason to play my quickly-becoming-redundant copy of GH:WT.

Yay, MuteMath! "Break the Same" next time, please???

Any MuteMath is welcomed. Personally, I'd love to see "Control" or "Without It" as DLC.

Actually, they just need to have the whole Mute Math EP as DLC. That album is fantastic!

"Control" is an awesome song, but I'm not sure it would work so well in Rock Band.

"Some people me a Space Cowboy..."

I think you're missing the word "call".

More ZOMBIE...

I would prefer White Zombie, not Rob Zombie.

Yes, but now I have no proof.

Damn reply system.

No music video, but here is Wind Me Up. Hopefully it is as fun as Ashes to Fire.

Did someone type 'High On Fire'? No? oh...

Good additions. SMB's most well known stuff. Should be fan favorites at parties.

might get joker.

Godsmack finally, but they picked the wrong song. "Awake" would make the perfect Rock Band song DLC. C'mon Harmonix bring that song to Rock Band please!!!!

Typical by Mute Math!? YESSSSSSSSSS.

When I bought RB2 and they asked who you'd like to see in other games, Mute Math was definitely on my list with The Roots and Bloc Party.

Steve Miller Band, awesome. I appreciate the obscure songs but radio friendly, karaoke type song make it easier to get non-gaming family members to play.

Bet you weren't ready fot that.

Wow, never though I'd see Belly on one of these games. Then again they were from Boston, so it's maybe not that surprising. The full video can be found at MTV: http://www.mtvmusic.com/belly/videos/33394/feed_the_tree.jhtml

How about chairs.

Great, because I was sooo looking forward to having to buy more Wii points. Jerks.

Welcome to the hell us 360/Ps3 people have been in since RB1. Get used to it as you can never have enough awesome songs for RB.

Minor suggestion: can you put the song titles before each video? I can't remember 7 things in my brain buffer, so I have to keep scrolling to the top.

Mute Math!!! I suggested this to the band over Myspace many moons ago. So glad that they listened to me...:)

Thank you again for including the embedded videos, guys. Please don't ever stop again.

Oh how I loved Belly back in the 90's. Tanya Donelly was my dream girl.

I loved Tanya Donelly too! I had a collage up on corkboard of every single thing I could find about her!

Also, my band played in Minneapolis a few years ago and I found out she was playing the same night. I DEMANDED that our band play first (even though we probably would have anyway) so I could see her in person.
