Rock Band DLC: Anvil, Dinosaur Jr., Tenacious D photo

If you like your lead vocalists to have nicknames like "Lips," then this is the week for you. Three tracks from legendary metal band Anvil will hit the Rock Band Music Store, making what also joins them -- songs by Dinosaur Jr., The Guess Who, and Tenacious D -- look less brutal in the process. 

Anvil - "666"
Anvil - "Metal on Metal"
Anvil - "This is Thirteen"

Dinosaur Jr. - "Pick Me Up"
Dinosaur Jr. - "The Wagon"

The Guess Who - "Hand Me Down World"
The Guess Who - "No Time"

Tenacious D - "Rock Your Socks"
Tenacious D - "Tribute"

You can pick up the tracks for $1.99 (160 MS Points) a piece; the three Anvil songs can be purchased in a bundle for $5.49 (440 MS Points). Also, good news for Wii owners -- you're getting this stuff along with everyone else! Each song will run you 200 Wii Points. 

Details on next week's Rock Band Unplugged content is after the jump. Check it out, and then let us know what (if anything) you're buying next week. 

Tracks available for Rock Band Unplugged (September 17,  $1.99 per song)             

  • Evanescense – "Bring Me To Life"
  • Spinal Tap – "Back From the Dead"

The Anvil documentary/film is the most depressing thing you will ever watch.

But Metal On Metal and This Is Thirteen really are fantastic, so hurrah.

...Tribute?

Well, I always preferred Guitar Hero, but I guess I can't continue anymore. Rock Band WINS. I will now suck Harmonix's dick with the rest of you.

"legendary metal band Anvil"? Haven't they spent their whole lives trying just to sell a few albums? There's one documentary about them and they're suddenly legendary because everyone has pity for them?

I'm surprised that it's taken this long to start getting some songs from Tenacious D's GOOD album!

@Nefilim for those "in the scene", yes they're legendary. They're just not legendary to the 99.9999% of the world that don't give a shit about classic rock and metal music.
Hell I only knew of them pre-film because they were basically forced upon me by a drummer I used to play with.

Still, bit sad to see how many people are hyped for Tenacious D's brain cell-killing pap and Anvil get like, three mentions.

Tenacious D. is music that teenagers like because they don't know any better.

Dinosaur Jr. is music that teenagers should like but don't know about.

Anvil exists outside my realm.

The end.
