Rock Band Weekly: Jimi Hendrix's 'Are You Experienced'

Jimi Hendrix's exclusive Rock Band tour continues next week with the addition of the "Are You Experienced: Rock Band Edition" album. (For more Jimi, see the "Axis: Bold as Love" album that was released earlier this year.)

Also, with over 2,000 songs now in the Rock Band DLC catalog, we thought it would be helpful to share these links, which can be used for searching the regular database or the Rock Band Network for a particular artist or song:

Are you experienced enough to check out next week's DLC details after the break?

I have been waiting for this for a while now, yay :D

Purple haze please

I want seconds!

*looks at Rock Band Network database*

Huh... Ultimate Showdown on Rock Band Network? Well, between that and Anamanguchi coming soon, Rock Band Network seems to have everything.

@MowDownJoe

Hell yes! I love playing/singing the ultimate showdown :D

Good to see that they have the Stone Free and Highway Chile b-sides, although it would have been nice to round it off with 51st Anniversary as well. Still, very excited to see this.

Looking forward to Electric Ladyland as well, whenever that comes.

Expert pro drums on Fire (Live) should be entertaining.........

Dammit, Hey Joe is the only one that's live (Fire was already on Lego RB) and that's the one I wanted most!

@mywhitenoise
Here's a vid of the live version we're getting:

It kicks some serious ass.

When they said that there would be live "replacement" tracks for some of the songs I was a bit worried. I don't mind live tracks as such, but they can be hit or miss. I much prefer studio tracks. Seeing that track list made my day. Now I just need to procure MS funny munny...

@Hellion4242
Since Hendrix was one of the best ever live, it doesn't matter if they are live or studio recordings. However, I would definitely like to play the Monterey Pop Festival version of Hey Joe, teeth playing and all!

Rock Band has a direct pipeline into my wallet with this Hendrix exclusivity deal. I absolutely cannot wait to try out these tracks!

But I do find it surprising that they didn't wait until after the release of RB3 so that you could have the option to get the Pro guitar tracks for these. Well, the Bold as Love songs were difficult enough on Hard & Expert so Pro Guitars would've been complete insanity!

@spikeylee

I don't think there's anything stopping them from releasing pro mode versions at a later date.

@spikeylee

HMX didn't want to be sued for any damage done to people's fingers in the process of trying to replicate the awesomeness of Mr. Hendrix.

SO this won't work with RB3 pro mode?

I wanna play sir Jimi for real :P

Argh, several tracks are missing! Where's Red House? And 51st Anniversary is a favorite of mine, why is that missing! AHHH!

Also, which live recordings for Hey Joe? Jimi is definitely at his best live, but some of his live recordings are better than others. A live recording of Voodoo Chile in the future would be fantastic, though.

Awesome, so awesome.

I wonder which version of Hey Joe they are using?

So stoked for Highway Chile.

This is great and all, but when will Harmonix release the LSD expansion that will let us get the FULL Jimi Hendrix "experience"? Don't tell me that's sold separately!

P.S. I wonder how easy it is to light a plastic guitar on fire...

Does anyone know if any previously released DLC is going to receive the Pro mode conversion?
