Rock Band Weekly: Tom Petty, Phoenix, Silvertide

by Alexander Sliwinski on Jan 15th 2010 11:15AM

OK, so next week's Rock Band DLC doesn't include "Mary Jane's Last Dance" (pictured above) -- that was included in the previous Tom Petty live anthology pack -- but that video is all we can think of when someone mentions Petty. Well, that and the "Don't Come Around Here No More" video, which had Petty playing The Mad Hatter and is also positively frightening -- but that song is in neither pack. Beyond Petty memories of our broken childhood, next week's update also includes tracks from Phoenix and Silvertide.

EVEN MORE PETTY!!!!

i thought we were promised Pantera by the end of 09

They should have Day Man by Electric Dream Machine.

hey great, more stuff we already have.

Are they running out of ideas?

hey great, more troll comments we already have.

Are they running out of ideas?

Troll or not he's right, DLC selections have been weak as of late on all fronts. Lets light a fire under their asses and get them to bring out something we actually asked for. No more Petty, Pearl Jam, Foo Fighters, or Nirvana (unless its the original track for Come as You Are). There's enough of that. I'm also tired of these live track cop-outs. The crowd overdubs make up for any live blunders they have put out. Come on ppl we need more great stuff and less "meh".

Not exactly what I was hoping for...better luck next week, I guess...

I have nothing against live music, but can't they release the studio versions?
Who the hell is Phoenix and Silvertide?
When is the Rock Band Network coming out?
Are they going to release more music for The Beatles: Rock Band?
When is Rock Band 3 coming out?
Is the Who, U2, Queen, or Pearl Jam getting their own game or just packs?

I know its alot of questions, but Harmonix owes us alot of answers.

out of all of those questions, the only one i care about is when will the rock band network come out?

I don't know who the hell Silvertide are but Phoenix are a pretty good power pop band. They've been around for a while, I don't own any of their albums, but every song I've heard of theirs is pretty good.

Please don't call Phoenix a power pop band. Because that makes them sound like Britney Spears or N'sync. They are a Indie Rock Band and a fucking awesome one at that.

"Indie rock" is such a bland term. Most bands by simple definition are "indie".

Phoenix are electronic, dance, pop, rock, awesome.

Where's Magical Mystery Tour or White Album? I needz more Beatles...

FUCK yes for Phoenix

omg 1901 and lisztomania? YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Yeah, I'm not as psyched as you guys, but those *are* both pretty good songs.

Agreed.

So sooooo happy about Phoenix finally coming to Rock Band I hope more come later too but they're a fantastic start. Very pleased. Can't wait to play them.

Phoenix for the win. One of the best albums of the year by far.

Yeah, the best new band that isn't new! (They've been together for 10 years)

Yep, and Hooch is crazy!

Yeah, well I was a fan since the guitarist played with Daft Punk!

...actually not really, I was a fan since "Too Young" was on 'Shallow Hal'. They got huge when that song turned up on 'Lost in Translation', but I can't believe how popular they got this year. I bought tickets last week to see them, those tickets sold out immediately after (only 6 minutes!) I got them.

I was a fan back when they were just Pho.

the pho albums were really more jam bandy though, just them noodlin' around, ya know?

Those Phoenix songs are awesome! Can't wait!

Awesome! Could also use more Petty.

SILVERTIDE!!!!!!!! I remember seeing them in concert opening up for Sum41 and WOW they SUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCKED!!!!!

PHOENIX! YES!

Who the hell are those groups?

Don't hate on Power Pop. There is a distinct difference between Pop and Power Pop. Bands like Big Star, The New Pornographers and even The Who (Pete Townsend coined the term) are Power Pop bands. I would feel okay calling Phoenix a power pop band...though I haven't before.

Oh and those are two of the best songs of 2009 by Phoenix too. Everybody should get them.

Yawn...wake me up when theres more metal...

Rock Band needs more Metal like the Xbox 360 needs more FPS games.

I LIKED THAT BAND BEFORE YOU EVEN KNEW ABOUT THEM!!1

/s

Bad update. I enjoy playing Free Falling in whatever game it's in, though.

Tom Petty is super underrated nowadays.

Even so, I'm tired of the live stuff.

i love that petty video, its easily in my top five necrophilia jams.

Fuck yes! I would've preferred Long Distance Call or Consolation Prize instead of Lisztomania but fuck it. 1901 I want. Now.

Definitely agree. Their best album is still "Its never been like that" but their release last year was not bad. Looking forward to their next pack. Best French band ever!

I was hoping for the a Phoenix Track Pack, but the best tracks from my best album of the year? FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF YEAH

Love Like A Sunset, and Rome are the best ones off their last album ;)

I would argue for Love Like A Sunset yeah, but since it has no vocals and I love singing in RB it wasn't really a song for the track pack :P

this is what makes harmonix so great with their choices for dlc, just as the 20 free songs pack introduced me to between the buried and me (who have become one of my favorite metal bands and i cant wait to see live at the end of the month) hearing these two phoenix songs is making me want to go out and buy their album. this should be bigger incentive for other bands that are more reluctant to include their music in rhythm games to go ahead and do so, since it would probably garner them some new fans.

You should be happier to see Devin Townsend. I'm just saying.

Sweet, I love Phoenix. Two great songs. Though I wish they would've released Lasso too. That's my favorite song from the album.

Wow, Silvertide. They were a great band, in the vein of Black Crowes, Aerosmith, Guns n Roses. Problem is their label took forever to put the album out, and lack of advertisement. Kind of surprised they're on Rock Band as a result.

Speaking of the Black Crowes, it's long past time for "Remedy" to be in RB.

I had never heard of phoenix til recently. One of my friends played their album (Wolfgang Amadeus) nonstop. I learned to like it, and I really like three of the songs from it now (Listomaniza, Fences, 1901). 1901 is probably my favorite.

If you've never heard of them or the songs, check it out on youtube. Not that bad!

Hey Eric, don't worry about folks calling Phoenix a pop band, they kind of our a pop band, it's a sad shame that the 90s and 00s have demonized the word "pop" to the point where it exclusively means Britney Spears & N*sync as opposed to the days where the term would describe The Beatles, The Kinks, and David Bowie. I agree I'd put Phoenix specifically under Indie Rock/Indie Pop but the only reason I bring this up is that it kind of reinforces stereotypes about the folks who like indie music, even though I realize your intentions were good and only to differentiate.

Phoenix are definitely a great band, totally agree with you there, saw that 1901 & Lisztomania would be headed to Rock Band this morning and was overjoyed, they had one of my favorite albums of 09. It's nice to see everyone is so excited as well, it's good to see this band has finally broken through.

STOKED for 1901!!! Good on Harmonix for putting out some Phoenix for us!
