As a reminder, all 25 tracks on Rock Band Blitz are available for Rock Band with purchase. Also, Blitz is pretty fun for $15 and uses the Rock Band songs you already own.

Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock may be composed of "ancient gameplay mechanics shrouded in a campy heavy metal veneer," but for those who picked it up on Xbox, it's about to be that, with three free songs. Which is objectively better. A three-track pack is available today for Gold members, featuring Disturbed's "The Infection," Muse's "Resistance," and My Chemical Romance's "Na Na Na." It's free now, and will be available for purchase by Silver Live users on October 19.

On October 26, Activision will release a seasonally appropriate DLC pack: three songs from the Rocky Horror Picture Show! Soundgarden doesn't really have anything to do with Halloween, but selected individual tracks from the "Telephantasm" album will also be available for purchase that day -- though Activision didn't mention which tracks. See the list of known DLC after the break.

Here's how out of touch we are with the music world: we get our music news from game industry announcements. We had no idea that Soundgarden was reuniting, nor that the group was releasing a retrospective album, Telephantasm, in October. Now you know about it too! Pretend you didn't already so we don't feel lame.

Here's what you may not have already heard: Activision is giving away the album with the first million North American copies of Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock. In fact, buying the game will allow you to get the CD a week before it's released elsewhere! Not only that, the album will be available as Guitar Hero DLC at launch.

Cool musical bonuses like this are likely to do much more to pique interest in the latest Guitar Hero game than, say, pig monsters.

Update: Turns out the DLC won't be free! Activision's Dan Amrich changed his announcement post to reflect this corrected information. There's no word on the actual price yet, except that it's not free.

Why should Guitar Hero World Tour be the only one to get The Killers next week? As previously announced, The Killers will also be available in a three pack on Rock Band starting Nov. 25.

  • "Mr. Brightside" (160 / $2)
  • "Smile Like You Mean It" (160 / $2)
  • "Spaceman" (160 / $2)
Yngwie Malmsteen 3 Pack (440 / $5.50)
  • "Caprici Di Diablo" (160 / $2)
  • "Damnation Game" (160 / $2)
  • "TRed Devil" (160 / $2)
Individual songs:
  • "Jesus Christ Pose" - Soundgarden (160 / $2)
  • "Pretty Noose" - Soundgarden (160 / $2)
  • "Laid to Rest" - Lamb of God (160 / $2)
All tracks are masters and will be available for download next Tuesday for Xbox 360 and PS3. PSN updates on Tuesday next week due to the Thanksgiving holiday.
