Rock Band Weekly: Lynyrd Skynyrd, Bad Company, .38 Special

So, next week's Rock Band DLC will include a Lynyrd Skynyrd track pack. Now, fun fact: Every time Lynyrd Skynyrd was typed in this post, I had to look up how it was spelled, out of some paranoid compulsion that I'd spelled it wrong. I wonder if "Lynyrd Skynyrd" is the music writer's version of the game industry's classic spell-anoia name: EA CEO John R-I-C-C-I-T-I-E-L-L-O.

Accompanying the "Sweet Home Alabama" band, who apparently formed in Florida, are singles from .38 Special and Bad Company. The full DLC track details are posted after the break.

HOLD ON LOOSELY! SWEET!

oh wait I don't own Rock Band 3 yettttttt

@Petebot330 But do they actually require RB3?

@Meancode
All non-RBN DLC from the release day of RB3 forward is RB3 only.

@Meancode
All non-RBN DLC from the release date of RB3 forward is not compatible with anything before RB3.

"Every time Lynyrd Skynyrd was typed in this post, I had to look up how it was spelled, out of some paranoid compulsion that I'd spelled it wrong."

Justin, could you show Alexander how copy/paste works?

I wish "that smell" would be dlc. But more Skynyrd is appreciated.

@bronium
The song I want is "I ain't the one."

@bronium
"I ain't the one" would be appreciated as well.

@bronium

What about "I ain't the one"

@Tiptup300
Also, Joystiq: fix your god damn comment routine.

After I hit submit, the page posted to "http://www.joystiq.com/2010/11/24/rock-band-weekly-lynyrd-skynyrd-bad-company-38-special/#thankyou". I refreshed after it happened the second time, thinking something was going on with my network and so: three posts.

@ytilanigiroon
refreshing through F5 resends. What you really want to do, is click the the title of the post to "refresh" the page from there, that way, no double posts

Time for some Happy Gilmore with Tuesday's Gone.

@Yuccadude Who are you waving to, Happy?

@Petebot330 Nobody, Gramma.

@Yuccadude

I loved this song in Guitar Hero: Metallica. Gonna pick it up along with Sweet Home Alabama.

My wallet's gonna be pretty pissed.

Lynyrd Skynyrd, now thats what I'm talkin' bout! It doesn't get any better than southern rock.

I think it'd have been more appropriate to use Alex Rigopulos' name if we're talking hard-to-spell names within the games industry.

I had to Google how to spell his name, for one. And even then, it corrected off of "Rigoupulous". And no, I'm not one for using 'ou' in words like 'colour'.

Harmonix, I want to give you my money but I just really don't want to buy live versions of songs. :(

@squallgengar If it's the same "Live" version that was in Guitar Hero, you should give it a shot. It was probably the best track in that game. Worse comes to worst, you could search for it on YouTube and see if you like it. :)

Freebird!!

@343 Guilty Fart That song was included with Rock Band 3, you know...

More classic/southern rock is a good thing. I just wanna know when they will re-release the Boston tracks with keyboard and pro modes. And uhhhh, still waiting for some U2.

anyone still waiting for Call Me The Breeze by Skynyrd like me, its a song that should have been on the disc, it has every instrument.

The one song that doesn't have pro guitar charts is the one I REALLY wanted to learn!

Oh well, I still get 5 other songs AWESOME songs to learn

@Freddie Mercury

Down vote this to hell!!!

@Freddie Mercury Yeah, same here, but Tuesday's Gone isn't all that tough if you find some decent guitar tabs.

Sweet.

Still waiting on Bad Company (the song), though.

Pretty soon every song on Classic Rock Gold will be in Rock Band...and that's a good thing.

Harmonix it's about damn time you give us more Skynyrd. Although you guys classify it incorrectly. Ronnie said they are never considered themselves a southern rock bank.

@StarsFan
It should say Ronnie has said Johnny never considered them a southern rock band.

Got a little too excited and hit enter

Rock Band 3
