Midnight Riders coming to Rock Band by way of Rock Band Network

12:00 PM on 02.11.2010 | Nick Chester

28 comments

Fictional Left 4 Dead 2 southern rock band the Midnight Riders may be headed to Rock Band... which, without question, is totally awesome.

Two of the band's tracks, "Midnight Ride" and "One Bad Man," are currently in the playtest phase on Rock Band Network. The tracks, supposedly taken from the greatest hits record, High Heels & Brushed Steel, were also featured in Left 4 Dead 2.

While a song being authored and playtested doesn't guarantee it'll make its way to the public, it's likely the songs will see the light of day. If not, there's a big chance that Midnight Riders lead guitarist Dusty will ride into Harmonix's hometown of Boston and start cracking some skulls. With his fists.

Watch the above video to get a listen to "Midnight Ride"; "One Bad Man" can be heard after the jump.

Perfidious Sinn

I cannot wait for Rock Band Network. I keep hearing about amazing stuff like this announced for it every other day and it's just hyping me up more.

I'm gonna go make a Midnight Riders band so I can properly play these songs when they're released.

Jack Maverick

It's strange how some of my favorite music is slowly starting to consist of fictitious bands. Midnight Riders is slowly starting to creep up there.

Totally awesome, indeed.

VGFreak1225

YES, YES, YES, A THOUSAND TIMES YES!

Now if you'll excuse me, I'll be waiting with my lady in a bathroom stall...

Wow, that was a horrible joke. Never mind.

Mr Andy Dixon

AWESOME

Lines Full of Lies

Midnight riders fun. Cant complain.
Need zombies however, no zombies, no fun.

*hug interrupt*

king kong five

I love crossover shit like this. YES.

Xzyliac

I agree with Lines Full of Lies. We need Zombie by The Cranberries.

Mr Andy Dixon

Agreed! The Cranberries' "Zombie" might actually entice my wife into playing Rock Band with me more than once a year. (It's her favorite karaoke song. She's obsessed with it.)

Nick Chester

That one week where they released two songs by the group The Zombies and a Cranberries song that was NOT "Zombie"? Yeah, that week was some nonsense.

Xzyliac

@mrandydixon
Doesn't she know Linger is in it!?! C'MON!

Tha_Meat

Thats pretty damn cool.

vApathyv

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE(deep breath)EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES!!!!

JoeCamNet

I'm still pissed everytime I look at my song list and see a song by The Chevelles, but nothing by Chevelle. Cocksauce.
Also, I can't wait to go further into poverty when RBN launches and I feel compelled to buy everything that sounds good.

Neal Wettstein

kinda weird not hearing the screams of the zombie horde while listening to these songs

Mr Andy Dixon

@Nick

Seriously nonsense!

@Xzyliac

I haven't told her about "Linger", and I don't plan on it. That song makes me want to strangle myself with my plastic guitar strap.

Xzyliac

@mrandydixon
We're not friends anymore. I want my bracelet back.

redsun

that's nice about rock band. but i really want to play as a midnight rider killing zombies with new rocking melee weapons. like a v shaped guitar, a bass or perhaps throwing cymbals like ninja stars.

Johnny Justice

It's a shame the songs by themselves don't include the "Tank Theme" guitar solo.

silvain

Years ago, I decided I would go with ps3 for rockband because i didn't want to buy a 360 yet. Since the first, that purchase has merited:

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

These articles remind me that we have no idea which network songs will come to the ps3 and when.

Los255

What about: "All I want for Christmas is to kick your ass"?

PixelSith64

Yes! :D

I already dreamed about this.

Raphael Jerrie Dabbs

You can't have Midnight Riders songs without one of the venues being Whispering Oaks.

Anna Hannah

I saw Samurai Showdown and got really excited! Then I realized it was Samurai Showdown Sen, and I cried a little.
