Rock Band Weekly: Gorillaz, Janis Joplin, Jefferson Airplane, The Who

Oh my, too many good tracks in next week's Rock Band Weekly to play off of for the basis of this post. Do we ask about breaking off a piece of our heart because of the Janis Joplin track, or do we go ask Alice when she's 10 feet tall? Ask her what? Exactly! A perfect psychedelic question. Now, feed your head by checking out the full list of tracks for all of the various Rock Band games after the break -- oh yeah, there's also the Gorillaz next week.

Gorrilaz ftw! ^^

Yeah, if I played Rock Band, I'd get some Gorillaz for it. Love 'em!

F Yeah! I'm getting the Gorillaz pack!

GET THE COOL SHOE SHINE!

@RIDGECITY

YES!!!! 19-2000 soulchild remix is so awesome!

and sorry i typed your name in caps, i just thought it was awesome finding someone who agrees with me, lol.

FINALLY. XD

YES. I LOVE RE-HASH.

And now I don't need to buy Guitar Hero 5.

I just need to get Sympathy for the Devil on RB, then I'll be right with you.

this is exactly what i was thinking. every song on guitar hero 5 that i think would be fun to play, rock band adds as DLC. gotta love competition....

All I need is The Spirit of Radio by Rush, and I can officially no longer consider getting GH5.

all I need is more Radiohead ( props if you get it)

Because All I Need is a song by Radiohead! I get it!
By that same token, it's never Too Little Too Late for more Barenaked Ladies.

Exactly what I was thinking...

Awesome. Looks like I'm buying everything this week.

Yay for doing the headline the way it should be done!

Agreed! I'm happy to see this as well.

There is now a resurgence of Rock Band in my household. Hell yes. Magic Bus & Gorillaz. I'm just as pumped as I was when I saw Kings Of Leon in the headline a few weeks back.

Although they could've done with a few more Kings of Leon tracks, wouldn't you say?

This is a really good week

I'm just happy my profile pic is featured on joystiq :)

Oh, the music's cool, too.

White Rabbit for the win!

Yes, it's awesome. But you figure they could've also thrown in their one other big hit, "Somebody to Love."

"Piece of My Heart" should have been released as a three-pack along with "Me and Bobby McGee" and "Mercedes Benz".

Now, The Band. They need like a best-of compilation. Anything less than 6 more songs from them won't be enough.

I fucking LOVE that song

Will someone throw the radio into the bathtub when we get to the part in White Rabbit where the rabbit bites its own head off? I need rising sound.

SON OF A BITCH! I double posted your comment! FROWNY FACE

If nothing else you can get one of the maids to do it.

Finally some Joplin! Now let's get "Down On Me" and "Combination of the Two"!

The Band?! MAOR PLZ!!!

Yeah, good stuff this week. Gotta get the Janis Joplin song for the wife. And the Gorillaz pack should be nothing short of fun to play.

Another fantastic week, thanks HMX! Should be some more news coming later today via the Rock Band 'Zine. Sign up if you haven't already.

Looks like I was wrong. The 'Zine was sent out about 20 minutes ago and all it basically says is to pre-order The Beatles: Rock Band to get the first look at all the news on the game. Laaaaaaame (The 'Zine, not the game).

When White Rabbit reaches that beautiful peak I want you to throw that fucking ps3 in the bathtub with me.

haha that's OK man, you put your own twist on it.

Eat some reds and try to calm down. Smoke some grass, shoot some fucking smack! Shit man, do whatever you gotta do.

Stone dead in ten seconds. Shit, they'll want me to explain it!

No Gorillaz on the Wii? :-(

Gorillaz will come to the Wii eventually. :)

"Who?"

"Yes."

"Who are you talking about?"

"The Who."

"Who?"

"Yes."

Greatest band name ever.

I love Gorillaz, but they don't really strike me as a Rock Band kinda band. I mean, most of their songs are made with a lot of production layers, not a live bass-guitar-drum setup. Maybe M1 A1 would work, but nearly everything else uses instruments that Rock Bnad can't emulate/doesn't have.

When they play live they play with a full band. Their live DVD is pretty much amazing.

Yay for The Who & The Band (odd song choice, I must say).
Meh for The Airplane.
Janis Joplin was a fat troll hack who couldn't carry Erma Franklin's jockstrap.

-1

"Every day I get in the queue, too much Magic Bus"

Who forever.

Does the "01" at the end of the Gorillaz pack just signify the year of the album they were taken from or does it mean it is the first in a series of packs ?

Like all packs that have come out, the 01 signifies that it is the first pack to come out for that group. It does not mean that there will be more packs from that band, but there could be.

It means it's their first pack.

Also a bit of trivia, the only artists that have seen a Pack 02 so far have been Nine Inch Nails, Grateful Dead, and Weezer.

I'm guessing it means it's the first in a series of Gorillaz track packs! Yay!

19-2000 and rock the house must be in pack 02 if it happens. and rock band pretty much just 1-upped guitar hero by getting clint eastwood too.
