Now that maintenance for Xbox LIVE is complete and up and running again, after getting prepped for the new version of the dashboard, you may notice upon logging in that all your friends are back on one page now. Props to all who complained about separate pages, because it looks like Microsoft actually listened! To celebrate this small, but very nice change, why not download some great tunes for Rock Band while you are logged in?
This is just a friendly reminder that, finally, The Red Hot Chili Pepper’s genre defining opus “Blood Sugar Sex Magik” is now available on XBL for your downloading pleasure. Each track is 160 MS Points ($2), while the full album will cost you 1600 MS Points ($20). PS3 owners will be able to download the same tracks this coming Thursday.
Tracks include:
“The Power of Equality”
“If You Have to Ask”
“Breaking the Girl”
“Funky Monks”
“Suck My Kiss”
“I Could Have Lied”
“Mellowship Slinky in B Major”
“The Righteous & the Wicked”
“Give It Away”
“Blood Sugar Sex Magik”
“Under the Bridge”
“Naked in the Rain”
“Apache Rose Peacock”
“The Greeting Song”
“My Lovely Man”
“Sir Psycho Sexy”
“They’re Red Hot”
Like Dustin Quillen of 1UP mentioned last week, “Give it Away” is not included with this downloadable content because that particular song is present on the Rock Band 2 disc. Therefore, if you MUST have that song, go out and get the recently released sequel and start moshing around your living areas pronto.
This is just the tip of the iceberg as far as DLC is concerned for Rock Band and Rock Band 2, because in the coming months, we have The Foo Fighters’ “The Colour and the Shape, Jane’s Addiction’s “Nothing’s Shocking”, Stevie Ray Vaughan’s “Texas Flood” and a “Best of Collection” from No Doubt (complied for Rock Band 2 only) to look forward to – not to mention the recently announced AC/DC Live: Rock Band Track Pack.
Now, if only Led Zeppelin would come down off their high horse and give music and Rock Band fans a whole lotta love. THAT would be something to celebrate in my book.
