Rock Band Weekly: HIM, Marilyn Manson, The Police

Last week, the Rock Band Store got a few healthy slices of Americana with tracks from Otis Redding and the Brian Setzer Orchestra. This week's offerings are much more foreign -- there's a three-pack from Finnish rock band HIM, a song from Britain's One Night Only, a track from The Police, and a song from Marilyn Manson, whom we all know actually descends from an extinct alien race whose name our human tongues could never hope to pronounce.

Songs I don't know by artists I do know. What a shame. :( Will check them out. Maybe there's something on that list that I'll like...

Wings of a Butterfly and Dope Show are great. Definitely check them out. Haven't listened to the new HIM album yet though, so can't say for their new stuff.

In my opinion, it has been a quiet couple months for RB DLC. Nothing has really struck my tastes (and my wallet). But that is me... With as large of a library as HMX has been providing, not everything will suit my preferences. Soon enough I am sure I'll be back to buying 3-4 every week, just depends on taste.

...still playing rust in peace.

We're All Stars Now...

Needs more Marilyn Manson songs.

Kinda hard to have more when the game is rated T.

Totally agree

DLC doesn't have to be rated does it? Or maybe its an edited radio version like some of the songs on the disks.

Which game do you have to have to be able to play these? Rock Band 1 or 2? thanks

The songs work with all Rock Band titles available that can acess the Music Store, including Rock Band 1.

Dope Show? Hmmm... I'll accept it; this time! But I would still love some more.

You go from Otis Redding... to this? Blah.

I always thought Rock Band needed more Powerpuff Girls villains.

....wow.

um... so lonely? oh yeah guitar hero 5 has it, too bad the gh series blows -_-

oops wrong one :P

Out of all the Police songs available, they picked "Walking on the Moon?" Wow, just wow.

Because so many of the other popular Police songs are already available, maybe?

Next To You - RB1
Can't Standing Losing You - Police 01
Synchronicity - Police 01
Roxanne - Police 01
Truth Hits Everybody - Arguably Punk 02
Message in a Bottle - Classic Rock 01
Every Little Thing She Does is Magic - LRB

What else do you want?

After all of those tracks, I'm pretty stoked about this.

What?!? "Walking on the Moon" is great! I actually thought I might hook up the gear again to mess with those drums, and that reggae bassline.

They're still missing King of Pain and Don't Stand So Close To Me though...

This amuses me as my girlfriend went to school with one of the band members of One Night Only. Apparently everyone at their school thought they were shit and didn't believe them when they got signed.

The Beautiful People please.

Whatever, maybe it'll be out by the time I'm over the awesomeness of Rust In Peace.

I'd definitely get the entire HIM pack if it was some of their older, CKY-era songs, but I still might download a song or two.

RB I love your DLC. But please give us some Dire Straits.

For reals.

Weird, I said pretty much the same thing to my wife when I saw the DLC earlier. Some live Telegraph Road would be awesome.

We need "Just a Car Crash Away" by Manson, that song has a sweet solo.

I agree.

And the fact that the game is rated T should have no bearing...especially considering they chose The Dope Show of all the songs. I almost think Astonishing Panorama of the End Times would be better than The Dope Show. If we're strictly concerned with this T rating.

Either way, I'll be sure to don my man-woman suit and rock out with my barbie doll parts out.

Oh hell. This should have been a reply to weskerwannabe under Electro Poof. *sniff* Now I know how it feels to be fooled by the Joystiq comment system....

Im still playing the Rust in Peace album, HMX needs to continue in that direction

Really? Of all the fantastic HIM songs to pick from, you pick those 3? Wings of a Butterfly is great, but I've never even heard of the other 2... maybe off his last album...

What they should have done is just pulled tracks from his greatest hits disc...

The other two tracks are from the newest HIM album which was released last week. Ode To Solitude is a great song.

Is this a good excuse to link the best rendition of Wings of a Butterfly ever? Yes it is.

Lame week, but that's okay since we got RIP last time.

Need MS points now!
Finally HIM is on Rockband! So excited

Seriously, hire me to pick songs to make into DLC. Check this shit out, I'll do some freestyle right here on the spot: Kyuss, Paramore, Funkadelic.

Holy shit, that took three seconds and I've done better than these clowns have done in three years. Just give me the job.
