Rock Band and Rush Fans Can Become ‘Modern Day Warriors’ with Moving Pictures DLC

Harmonix has announced the addition of the fourth complete album to the Rock Band Music Store catalog of downloadable content.  Available August 26, the most commercially successful Rush album, “Moving Pictures”, will be added to the Rock Band DLC catalog giving progressive music fans the opportunity to build their own Rush setlist for play on their virtual world tour.

Moving Pictures joins the five other Rush tracks in the catalog including the recent release of the Rush Masters Vault selections which includes exclusive Rock Band versions of “Closer To The Heart” and “Working Man (Vault Edition)” and cover versions of “Tom Sawyer,” “Limelight” and “Working Man.”  One of the most successful rock bands in music history, the Canadian masters of the time signature change have sold more than 40 million albums worldwide and continue to sell out arenas across the globe.

Moving Pictures, Rush’s eighth studio album, released in 1981 has sold more than four million copies and includes the following tracks:

1. Tom Sawyer
2. Red Barchetta
3. YYZ
4. Limelight
5. The Camera Eye
6. Witch Hunt
7. Vital Signs

Moving Pictures will be available for $10.99 (880 Microsoft Points) for the album, or $1.99 (160 Microsoft Points) per track.

Normally, I would have something snarky to say, especially considering that Rush is not one of my favorite bands. Not that they are despicable, just not a favorite of mine. However, since our former News Editor and occasional poster Ron Whitaker is such a HUGE fan of the band – AND he still has “behind the iron curtain” rights to do as he pleases, I will be nice, and say well done and good for Rush fans.
