Rock Band Weekly redux: Pearl Jam

by Alexander Sliwinski { Jun 22nd 2009 at 10:30PM }

In addition to this week's Rock Band Weekly featuring Maroon 5 and artists from the Warped Tour, those pranksters at Harmonix snuck in some Pearl Jam tracks. The three tracks were bundled with the re-release of Pearl Jam's Ten album earlier this year.

Pearl Jam Ten Bonus Pack (440

/ $5.50)

"Brother" (160 / $2)
"Alive (Live: Drop in the Park)" (160 / $2)
"State of Love and Trust (Live: Drop in the Park)" (160 / $2)

These master recording will be available tomorrow and Thursday on Xbox 360 and PS3, respectively.

Enough with Pearl Jam. I get it. They are well liked. Please. Diversify. Like I said earlier this week: Streetlight Manifesto. Please.

MarkHawk @ Jun 22nd 2009 11:56PM

I agree with the Manifesto.

Drum parts be insane but the guitar parts are nigh non existant. I wouldnt mind screamin through moment of silence on the xbox though.

Great!

Now if anyone asks, I'll say I was going to download Pearl Jam but slipped and downloaded Maroon 5 'accidentally'.

Markez @ Jun 22nd 2009 11:13PM

This is a love song I wrote...

...about my...

about my surfboard...

huh huh huh

Still no Yellow Ledbetter.

Sigh.

That's the only Pearl Jam song I really want at this point.

Nick @ Jun 23rd 2009 12:21AM

Given To Fly, Brain of J, Vs., Daughter, Go... lots more awesome stuff that needs to come.

Mind, I know songs like Given and Brain are a little bit less varied with regards to the instruments... but hell, I still WANT 'EM.

ryanpaulmcgowan @ Jun 23rd 2009 1:52AM

That's cool.

Yellow Ledbetter is one of the most requested songs from Pearl Jam.

The lack of it is disturbing.

Do The Evolution would be sweet to rock out to!

Knightdg @ Jun 22nd 2009 11:48PM

Keep it coming with the pearl jam, songs from a different era would be nice. Ive had enough of Alive
+1 to Yellow Ledbetter

Jake @ Jun 23rd 2009 8:29AM

*snicker snicker* he said "Keep it coming with the pearl jam..."

Seishi @ Jun 23rd 2009 1:31PM

@Knightdg - FYI, Yellow Ledbetter is a B-side single from the 'Alive' era.

Matthew Perry @ Jun 23rd 2009 12:18AM

I understand that it's a re-release bonus track, but with all the hullabaloo with Rock Band and Pearl Jam recently, how the fuck has Dirty Frank not even been mentioned? It's the best Pearl Jam song.

Yuccadude @ Jun 23rd 2009 12:40AM

Woo, finally I can sing Brother while everyone else hammers away on my mini plastic instruments.

crazy eyes @ Jun 23rd 2009 12:43AM

So much for the Best Buy "Exclusive".

Note to self: when someone offers Rock Band DLC "Exclusive" for buying a CD, they mean that it will actually be available later.

Kyera @ Jun 23rd 2009 8:55AM

Considering every bit of "exclusive" DLC (OXM tracks, PJ 3-pack, Country Pack, RB: Unplugged, etc) has been announced to be coming "eventually" as regular DLC (dating back to the OXM bonus tracks), this shouldn't come as a surprise.

Dan Davis @ Jun 23rd 2009 1:02AM

BOOOO!

I guess DevilDriver, Die Toten Hosen, The Distillers, Glasvegas, H-Blockx, In This Moment, Juli, Kasabian, Les Wampas, The Myriad, Nikko, Old 97's, Pleymo, Scars On Broadway, Thenewno2, and Tokio Hotel are better choices for DLC.

Listen, I'm all about diversity in this game, but nobody I know likes or knows these bands. EVERYONE up here in Seattle knows Pearl Jam. The thing about this game is that lesser known songs/bands NEVER get picked when we're playing a band quickplay. They might pop up during World Tour, but even when they do the vocalist BS's their way through it. I see it as a HUGE waste of money to buy songs that never get picked (for the record I have purchased about 80% of the entire RB DLC).

I was watching Joe Dirt yesterday, and I kept thinking "Why haven't they added this song?" Look at the soundtrack:

1. Sweet Home Alabama - Lynyrd Skynyrd
2. Walk on Water - Eddie Money
3. Hold Your Head Up - Argent
4. You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet - Bachman-Turner Overdrive
5. When I'm With You - Sherrif
6. Cat Scratch Fever - Ted Nugent
7. Who Do You Love - George Thorogood & The Destroyers
8. China Grove - The Doobie Brothers
9. Rocky Mountain Way - Joe Walsh
10. Roller - April Wine
11. Burnin' For You - Blue Oyster Cult
12. If You Want My Love - Cheap Trick

Seriously, I wish Harmonix would release more "classic" songs, rather than a freaking Bonnaroo pack.
