Like "Rime of the Ancient Mariner." Sounds like some old epic poem, right? Well, it is epic in that sense, as well as in the sense of being thirteen minutes long.

With no real change to Rock Band Weekly since the Iron Maiden announcement a couple weeks ago, we gave the long-running feature a break last week during the E3 madness. However, the newbie, Rock Band Wiikly, still has to work it this week. Not only did it receive the aforementioned Iron Maiden content, but an additional 13 tracks previously released on the other consoles. Don't forget to download "Charlene" from Stephen and the Colberts for free. Check out the full list after the break.

The official Rock Band Community Zine has announced that a new batch of Iron Maiden tracks is headed to the game. The 12 upcoming tracks were all played during the band's recent Somewhere Back in Time World Tour and all are master recordings. The list also includes three live tracks taken from the band's Flight 666 documentary. The tracks -- which have yet to be priced -- will be available on June 9. Find all 12 tracks (with handy YouTube links) after the break.

Iron Maiden [UPDATE]]]>http://www.joystiq.com/2009/05/05/report-jason-rubins-iron-and-the-maiden-sued-by-iron-maide/http://www.joystiq.com/2009/05/05/report-jason-rubins-iron-and-the-maiden-sued-by-iron-maide/http://www.joystiq.com/2009/05/05/report-jason-rubins-iron-and-the-maiden-sued-by-iron-maide/#comments When former Naughty Dog chief Jason Rubin rolled out of bed this morning, we imagine he had a lot on his mind: What cereal to eat, what paper to read, and, oh yeah, how best to deal with lawyers representing Iron Maiden. According to online rag TMZ, the aging metal band has filed suit against Rubin's comic book company, Iron and the Maiden LLC, for what the site describes as using a "confusingly similar" name. We admit we were befuddled at first too; after all, who knew that Iron Maiden was even still around?

Rubin, who has not yet responded to Joystiq's inquiry on the matter, is best recognized in gaming circles as the face behind Crash Bandicoot and Jak and Daxter. Lately, however, his energies have been spent elsewhere after leaving game development in 2004 for social media, comics and the greener pastures of Web 2.0. Still, judging by Iron Maiden's catalog of album covers, we're not sure how any of this could have prepared him for facing down a gang of haggard rockers and what we imagine to be a throng of undead legal counsel.

Update: A spokesperson representing both Jason Rubin and his companies, Iron and the Maiden LLC and Morgan Rose LLC, sent over an official response to the lawsuit this evening, calling the whole case "completely without merit." The complete statement can be read after the break.

According to X3F, who heard it from Megatonik, who saw it on ScoreHero, who cribbed it from scans on GameFaqs, OXM like totally printed all the Rock Band DLC for March in its new issue. We've confirmed the tracks are revealed in an advertisement for Xbox Live that was placed by Microsoft. There's no mention of prices, but if March releases follow the general trend, it should be 440 MS points ($5.50) for a pack and 160 MS point ($2) for a single song.

Week of March 4: Thrash Pack
  • Blinded By Fear - At The Gates
  • Thrasher - Evile
  • Shadow World - Haunted
Week of March 11:
  • Shooting Star - Bad Company *Cover*
  • Simple Man - Lynyrd Skynyrd
  • Message In A Bottle - Police
Week of March 18: Nine Inch Nails Pack
  • March Of The Pigs
  • The Collector
  • The Perfect Drug
Week of Mar. 25: Metal Pack
  • Wrathchild - Ironmaiden *Cover*
  • Supernaut - Black Sabbath *Cover*
  • Fuel - Metallica
That's great ... now about February?

Update: An MTV/Harmonix spokesperson tells Shacknews this is a tentative schedule, saying, "Please stay tuned for confirmation of Rock Band DLC closer to their release."

Don't expect a road map of Rock Band's downloadable content for the future, but you can plan on getting that second mortgage on your house because the excellent DLC just keeps flowing. This week brings us three different decades of rock and you should feel free to go with the emotion of each decade. For Iron Maiden's Number of the Beast start banging your head, then get strung out and depressed for Stone Temple Pilot's Interstate Love Song and, finally, get hipster and pour yourself an appletini with The Hives' Die, All Right! Some good songs to play while "waiting on a Sunday afternoon."

Individual songs
  • Number of the Beast - Iron Maiden *Cover* (160 MS points/ $2)
  • Die, All Right! - The Hives (160 MS points/ $2)
  • Interstate Love Song - Stone Temple Pilots (160 MS Points / $2))
Videos of the songs can be found after the break. Reminder: Harmonix will be announcing Rock Band DLC every Monday from now on, and the DLC will continue to be available Tuesday on Xbox 360 and Thursday on PS3.
