Europe to get exclusive Rock Band tracks when game eventually is released

Hey there, Europeans! How are things going? If I were to guess, I'd say you might be feeling a bit left out, what with all of this Rock Band talk that's been going on. In the United States, the game hit shelves last November; Canadians, after a slight delay, have been playing it since early in the new year.

So here's some good news: yes, you're still going to have to wait a few more months for the game's release (we're hearing May), but be patient. The folks over at Button Bandits had a chance to play the European version at this year's Play.com Live, and were able to get their hands on a final track listing. Surprise! There are 10 more tracks than US and Canadian discs!

They are: Blur's "Beettlebum" (English); Tokio Hotel's "Through the Monsoon" (English); Muse's "Hysteria" (English); Les Wamaps' "Manu Chao" (French); Indochine's "L'Aventurier" (French); Playmo's "New Wave" (French); Die Toten Hosen's "Hier Kommt Alex" (German); Juli's "Perfekte Welle" (German); and H-Block X's "Countdown to Insanity" (German). 

While some of these tracks might go right our silly American heads, there's still quite a bit to be jealous of here. Muse's "Hysteria", for instance, has always struck me as what would be a pretty kick-ass song in Rock Band, and I'm crossing my fingers it comes to the US via downloadable content. If not, hey — enjoy your exclusive songs. Jerks.
