DAMN IT!
I didn't think that they'd release Tribute
Total surprise for me...
Too bad I'm about 6,000 miles away from my xbox :(

Damn dude, I thought wireless controllers were cool too, but I knew they weren't *that* handy.
MowDownJoe @ Sep 11th 2009 10:55AM
HELL, YEAH! Tribute, finally!
Warlock @ Sep 11th 2009 11:55AM
Hells yeah indeed!
The1stMJC @ Sep 11th 2009 11:01AM
YESS Tribute is awesome.

@Gally
One good song does not a good band make.
MMLgamer @ Sep 12th 2009 6:54AM
I meant to post this in the string of posts below this one. Srry.
PR0F3TA (PSN - PROPHETA) @ Sep 11th 2009 11:02AM
i'm no fan of Tenacious D, in fact i don't even know how anyone can. BUT... Tribute is a great song by them and still have it on my iPod to this day.
Deezul @ Sep 11th 2009 12:29PM
Not a fan either. I don't think Tenancious D would have the following they do have if it were not for Jack Black.
Nick @ Sep 11th 2009 12:52PM
"Not a fan either. I don't think Tenancious D would have the following they do have if it were not for Jack Black."
uh, no shit? Of course it wouldn't. WTF. Tenacious D is JB plus one other dude.
Without JB it would be the one other dude, and not the D.
So for now, they'll rock your fucking socks off.
Except it would be rock your ??? socks off, because it's the kiddy version.
Sigh, edits.
time @ Sep 11th 2009 2:24PM
I don't think The Beatles would have a following if it weren't for John Lennon and Paul McCartney.
Gally @ Sep 11th 2009 6:11PM
You admit that Tribute is a great song, yet you fail to see how anyone could like them?
Logic fail.
evan @ Sep 12th 2009 3:09PM
Maybe he meant that it's their only worthwhile song. Because it is.
And the Beatles comparison doesn't work, because Tenacious D isn't popular because of JBs musical genius, just his celebrity. It's not the same thing.
John Z @ Sep 11th 2009 11:02AM
"No Time", awesome.
Kevin @ Sep 11th 2009 11:04AM
I'm thinking more and more that I should just sell GH3 and get RB2... not that I would ever play either of them...
CTC XBL-supapaypamawio PSN-ctclaw @ Sep 11th 2009 11:11AM
You might as well keep GH3, you're not going to get more than $5 for it.
uncle jesse @ Sep 11th 2009 12:10PM
Yes, if you aren't going to play either of them, you can at least LOOK cool and have RB2 on the shelf.
HAAS599 @ Sep 11th 2009 11:06AM
I hope tribute is the version from the HBO series, that was their best stuff.
Archon (PSN: Archonik, XBL: DarkARHN) @ Sep 11th 2009 11:11AM
I hope not. I can already hear thousands of nerds moaning that it's not THE version of Tribute that was included.
Laser123454321 @ Sep 11th 2009 11:35AM
I think the main problem there is the Stairway to Heaven riff that happens in the middle of the HBO version.... not to mention the end..
"BUT, I'M A WRITER!"
Tony @ Sep 11th 2009 11:10AM
Yes!!! Finally!! The greatest and best song in the world!!
Now, lets get some CKY going on already!
uncle jesse @ Sep 11th 2009 12:12PM
Tony, CKY would be pretty damn cool in RB. Good call.
Desert Eagle @ Sep 11th 2009 11:10AM
This is not The Greatest Rock Band Weekly DLC in the World, no.
This is just a tribute...
Ghoti @ Sep 11th 2009 11:22AM
Nice...
WiNG [XBL&Steam: WiNGSPANTT] from lifeinagame.com @ Sep 11th 2009 11:38AM
Couldn't remember the greatest Rock Band Weekly...
No, this is just a Tribute.
Storm Eagle [Resident Capcom Megafan] @ Sep 11th 2009 11:50AM
Win.
And the song we sang on the fateful night didn't actually sound anything like this song....
B3astofthe3ast @ Sep 11th 2009 12:50PM
The greatest rb weekly had to be the very 1st one, when they released the metallica pack.
Demo @ Sep 11th 2009 11:23AM
Dinosaur Jr is awesome.
Drake @ Sep 11th 2009 2:36PM
Great to see more Dinosaur Jr., but I'm still waiting for my request, "Grab It" (from Without a Sound) to make Rock Band. I mean, it starts AND ends with guitar solos, how awesome is that! The whole song has incredible energy to it. Please, Harmonix?

bongoes the Black Lantern @ Sep 11th 2009 3:16PM
Indeed.
Tony @ Sep 11th 2009 11:26AM
Awesome, more Guess Who.
No Time is a good one, but I want No Sugar Tonight/Mother Nature most of all.
The Baron @ Sep 11th 2009 1:30PM
Never listened to them outside of American Woman, but if those two songs are as fun on drums as that is, then consider me sold.
Martin @ Sep 11th 2009 11:26AM
Fuck yes, more Tenacious D is always welcome.
We are the D, we are the D, we are the D ...
the_pop @ Sep 11th 2009 11:28AM
I would be all over the Anvil and Tenacious D tracks but rock band is boring, guitar hero FTW.
/Waits to be [-] by all the rock band fanboys on Joystiq, because I am wrong for liking a game.
AvA (ice~) @ Sep 11th 2009 11:33AM
How could rock band be boring compared to GH? They're virtually the same thing.
baby sea tuna @ Sep 11th 2009 11:34AM
No, we're going to downvote you for obvious trolling on a RB thread, not for having a differing opinion.
gib @ Sep 11th 2009 11:46AM
*hits the downvote button on the_pop's comment*
pibs @ Sep 11th 2009 12:10PM
You aren't wrong for liking a game, you are wrong because you come and post bitching about how you believe the game you like is superior.
Damn I wish it was tuesday already :(
The Baron @ Sep 11th 2009 1:51PM
What a poor victim you are. I mean, it's not as if you trolled and then invited people to downvote you. Damn the tyranny of the majority!
Dr. Robotnik, Evil Genius Extraordinaire @ Sep 11th 2009 10:25PM
Don't worry. You won't get downvoted by me.

No Muse, No Deal
Storm Eagle [Resident Capcom Megafan] @ Sep 11th 2009 11:51AM
I believe you're looking for that...*ahem* OTHER game.....
baby sea tuna @ Sep 11th 2009 11:32AM
I first read "Anvil" as "Avail" which was awesome then I realized it wasn't, which was disappointing.
But holy shit, The Wagon!
RDX @ Sep 11th 2009 11:37AM
Ohh Anvil, I'm not ashamed to say I teared up when Lips did his "We're doing to do this! We're going to be rock stars!" speech in the movie. THAT is passion.
watchthatman @ Sep 11th 2009 11:39AM
The Wagon is one of the best Dinosaur Jr. songs. This is going to be awesome.
baby sea tuna @ Sep 11th 2009 12:06PM
I'd consider selling my soul for "Freak Scene."
tasteofink313 @ Sep 11th 2009 11:41AM
when is abbey road being released? anyone know?
Michael T @ Sep 11th 2009 12:01PM
October 20, if I'm not mistaken. I read that....somewhere (don't remember where, so please don't hold me to that).
WiNG [XBL&Steam: WiNGSPANTT] from lifeinagame.com @ Sep 11th 2009 12:00PM
I am hoping one day we'll get a Cake pack with Short Skirt/Long Jacket.
Jim @ Sep 11th 2009 12:09PM
Im with ya, cake is awesome. esp birthday
kidding,
I would seriously dig Frank Sinatra (the cake song), their rendition of I will survive, perhaps perhaps perhaps, Long skirt..., and never there.
