Nothing for me this week, also, isn't there like 12341234239 Foo Fighters songs available already?

I'm not complaining though, last week was awesome with Gorillaz for RB & Iron Maiden for RBU.

People love themselves some Foo.

Flame war be a'comin'.

Fooooooook that shit.

i'm still dazed by the gorillaz. i've been asking for them for 2 years, and suddenly i got some great songs by them. nice.

Awesome Releases this week! I don't think there's one there I don't want!

I can always use more Foo!

I love Blur and everything, but every time I see something about Blur and Rock Band I really hope for Coffee and TV or Parklife, and I am always let down.

I just hope they put a non-cover of beetlebum on there.

Same. I also hope for original Beetlebum and Song 2.

Still, can't complain about Albarn's other offerings for Rock Band last week. Gorillaz songs were great.

Well Song 2 was already announced for Lego Rock Band, wasn't it?

So I doubt we'll ever be seeing it as DLC.

Well at least I still have some Damon with Gorillaz, so no complains still

"It's not saaaaane!"

Second week in a row with Damon Albarn. Maybe next week we will get The Good The Bad & The Queen.

One can only dream.

oh snap blind melon and blur

I was really waiting for that blur song too not to mention foo fighters i'll stick around

There's no such thing as "tough noogies".

Did you mean "tough noodles"?

And Justin layteth the smacketh down. All hail The Mighty McElroy Brothers!

Coming up in our next match, Justin takes on D0RC in a steel cage and razor wire deathmatch!

"To find my wooden leg!"

Oh hell. Love me some Dropkick Murphys.

If you like them, check out the Real McKenzies. I recommend the "Oot & Aboot" or the "10,000 Shots" albums to start with, the latest is kinda weak, but their older stuff is fantastic. I recommend this band to any DKM fan. Cheers!

Seriously, the bagpipes fucking rule in this song. I don't think it would have worked without them.

i wonder if they have papelbon dancing in the background in shipping up to boston...

That would be f***ing EPIC. As a huge Red Sox fan I am orgasming over the fact that they finally decided to make this song DLC.

i prefer the old lead singer mike, the other guy can sometimes be too cookie monster for me. but still an awesome band all the way around. and if we're recommending irish punk, then you either need to or should know about "the pogues".

Ah yes the pogues, who could forget them. I believe their singer guested on "Good Rats" by DKM. And if you miss the old singer, Mike is in a band called the Street Dogs. They have quite a few albums out and are a good listen. I've seen them a few times, and I'm pretty sure that in this particular song it is an accordion, not the bagpipes. I mentioned the McKenzies earlier, their piper Matt McNasty can give Scruffy a run for his money. He was wasted, could barely stand but played a bagpipe solo... his chanter came loose from the bag and he blew into it using only his mouth and finished the solo.

jesus ye must be all def this song has no bag pipes in it what u see is not what you hear

Just when Foo thought it was safe to leave the house....

Blind Melon, Eve 6, and the Dropkick Murphys?! SWEET!

I've been wanting Inside Out in RB since it came out, It's going to be a great Tuesday.

Damnit... more Foo Fighters...

Seems like every week, for the past few weeks, Harmonix have been sappin' my wallet dry...

BLUR! HOLY FUCKING FUCK

w00t Coheed is on there.

Although i already have that song on Xbox xD

More excellent Foo Fighters songs. Yay!

Nothing says you're irish like singing really angry

nothing says your irish like singing about the good ole USA

You gotta love it when people here say they are Irish... even though their family has been living here for 7 generations. I'm pretty sure that is the definition of being American.

@Paul you can still be proud of your families heritage, and be American

but if you listen to their songs they sing traditional irish songs a lot of them about hating the british and mourning for ireland

tough noogies?

how about tough noogies to you guys, seperate them back out

I'm fine with it, just as long as they only put bands getting NEW dlc in the title. Which they did this week.

Good job, Joystiq.

As someone who likes to get all of his info in one place, this format is much welcomed. It also lessens the clutter on the main page.

Why would you want it any different?

As long as Joystiq keeps the NEW (as in, brand new to the Rock Band series) DLC in the title then its fine with me

Bagpipe Hero...

Coheed and Cambria. Cool.

huh? i know that the wii releases were playing catch up with the ps3/360 for the past little while, but when did gorillaz get released for ps3?! i've gotta get myself to the PS Store and make some purchases !!!

there are 20 songs from foo fighters and still not my favourite one "the best of you"

"ruby" from kaiser chiefs is way better than the one they put in

and still waiting for the strokes.they have plenty of songs that could be perfect for this game."reptilia" is so much fun...

THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST OF YOU

I GOT ANOTHER CONFESSION TO MAKE

But... Reptilia is in Rock Band 1.

DKM! Freakin awesome! Keep them coming, the band has a great catalog of songs. Why not throw in some Pennywise while we are at it?
