Maybe I'm amazed...at the way you pull me out of line.

I wish "Band on the Run" featured pro-guitars. I'll probably get "Cities in Dust".

Ill definetly get "Let me Roll it". Awesome song

Eh, probably get the more well known McCartney songs, but overall merely a "meh" kind of release. Kinda surprising considering after Christmas there will be a lot of new owners of the game. I figured it would be a MAJOR kind of release.

@jblank
I would assume at this point that they're comfortable just letting new users explore the back catalog, and McCartney in name alone should shift a couple extra copies of RB3 over the next couple days.

"Cities in the Dust?" Is the first Siouxie song for a rhythm game?

That makes me want dust off my plastic guitar.

And light candles and cry.

@IronClawt

Actually, (for the Rock Band Franchise anyways) it will be the 5th Siouxie song released. I think in '08 we got a 3 pack with "Hong Kong Garden", "The Killing Jar", and "Kiss Them for Me", then later this year we also got "Peek-a-Boo".

@IronClawt

Siouxie have had dlc since rock-band 2, Hong Kong Garden,The Killing Jar, Kiss Them For Me

@Linkb8s XBL Tenku

Beat me to it and I forgot the other, lol

@Linkb8s XBL Tenku no Link

Thanks! Thats pretty good to know.

@anubusnyc
Thanks!
I REALLY need to dust off my guitar now.

5 tracks and none from Juju? That's sad.

I would be excited for Siouxsie if I hadn't grown tired of Rock Band 2 years ago.

Why not until January 5th on the PS3? Is this date accurate?

@zoso159 Because the US PS Store updates on Tuesdays?

@zoso159 Sony's taking the week off. Double update on the 4th

@TubaDude49 Thanks!

I think we need some modern music for Rock Band 3 DLC...
How about Muse's Showbiz?
Alons-y!

@Indefinite Implosion

I do want something I little more modern. I havent been excited for a pack since Jimmy Eat World Which was back before RB3 came out. I'd really like some Motion City Soundtrack myself. Would get me excited to pull out the Keyboard.

Cities in Dust! Yes!!!

What a bad time to not release Wonderful Christmas Time by Wings. One of the best modern Christmas songs ever and it's extremely keyboard heavy.

:(

@Jack Kevorkian I agree the timing would have been great, but I'm happier with John Lennon's Happy Xmas (War is Over) from Tuesday.
