Today, Harmonix and MTV Games blasted out two press releases about Rock Band DLC. Two! Why? Because they wanted to let you know that on December 15 (the 17 for PlayStation 3), more Green Day would be coming to the platform. My guess, though, is that it's probably not what you personally had been waiting for.
Green Day Pack 2 ($5.49/440 MS Points for the pack, $1.99/160 MS Points/200 Wii Points per track)
"Christian's Inferno"
"Last of the American Girls" +
"Viva La Gloria!" +
For me, this is kind of like that one time when Night Ranger songs came to Rock Band, but not a single one of them was "Sister Christian." Where's this stuff? Oh well, my 11-year-old son will be thrilled, and that's what counts. As for next week's DLC:
Slipknot Pack 01
"Duality"
"Pyschosocial"
"Sulfur"
Individual songs ($1.99/160 MS Points/200 Wii Points)
Simon & Garfunkel - "I Am a Rock" +
Simon & Garfunkel - "The Sounds of Silence" +
Free song (only available for Xbox 360 and PS3)
Light Resolve - "Dreaming of Love" +
(The "+" means it's available on the LEGO Rock Band store as well)
This story is already getting too long. Take it away in the comments -- tell me what you're buying or how you're going to need to buy three more drum sets in order to get through the Slipknot songs.

Nick, are you serious about having an 11 year old? You seriously don't look old enough to have a kid.
*cue someone saying: "d00d, there isnt any good green day songz LOL"
I'm only getting one of their old songs for nostalgia really. Well, perhaps not nostalgia, but it is one of the few of theirs I like.
I just hope the guitar isn't like it was on GH3. That was brutal.
Or, all the people that like it are "fans" that have different tastes than you. Don't try to turn this into something objective. It's just ridiculous.
This!
My arthritis is acting up as I type this reply. :D

WHERE MAH DOOKIE AT?!?
Needs more Slipknot from their first two albums. Seriously~ I liked the GH3 track, though. Really improved my three note chord transitioning. It's amazing seeing my friends who didn't play GH3 still struggle with that one aspect while almost matching me note for note on the rest of the score duel.
Less crap, more Harvey Danger "Flagpole Sitta" plzthx
I second this. Anything from that album would be nice. Carlotta Valdez, Private Helicopter, etc. I love that album.
I've wanted some uber-difficult drum songs recently.
And I agree with the craptastic nature of the Green Day stuff. Give us songs from when Green Day kicked ass, not the polished pop-punk aural abortion of recent years.
Remember to stretch! Gonna be a workout.
They should have got Nevermore's cover of The Sound of Silence, it would be waaaaaaay more fun to play. Listen to it Here
Or shit, how bout Jeff Loomis' entire solo album? No lyrics but the rest is intense. Check out Miles of Machines
lol @ people trying to request DLC in destructoid comments.
Slipknot sucks, Green Day sucks
Other songs might be okay.
There's always next week.
Also Slipknot sucks.
