Alright you whiny bastards. You wanted more metal in Rock Band, well here it is. Harmonix and MTV Games have announced that next week's DLC will bring the "Roadrunner 6 Pack," featuring the following songs:
- Airbourne - "Runnin' Wild"
- DevilDriver - "Clouds Over California"
- Dream Theater - "Constant Motion"
- Killswitch Engage - "My Curse"
- Machine Head - "Aesthetics of Hate"
- Megadeth - "Sleepwalker"
For one month after its release, the six pack will cost 480 MS Points ($5.99), with each track going for 80 MS Points ($0.99). After that, the pack price will be jacked up to 800 MS Points ($9.99), and the single tracks will be the "regular" 160 MS Points ($1.99).
Honestly, for six bucks, I'm down for all of this stuff ... even if I admittedly don't know all of the music. But hey, I'm open for some more metal in my house, because I hate my neighbors. The tracks will drop on Xbox LIVE Marketplace next Tuesday, and PlayStation Network on Thursday.
ROCK ON!

I love you so hard, Mr. Chester.
Are Lanthanoids and Actinoids actually metal? My Googling was inconclusive.
also the whole microsoft 1 week exclusive of rock band 2 crap. why to ruin it and try to get the upper hand penisoft.
HELL FUCKING YES METAL IM BUYING THIS
Fetusmilk, are you actually complaining about a great offer?
However, Rock Band still lacks a double bass pedal, so how the hell are you supposed to even attempt any of these songs (save Airbourne) on the drums on expert?
Can't wait to play Dream Theater and Machine Head.
I was thinking the same thing. You'll probably be ghost noting with your left foot.
also dont plan on getting RB2. give me GH4. i want to create all the songs i like so i can PLAY music i like. the song creator is gonna rule.
i also wouldnt buy a polished turd if it was cheaper on teusday than it will be on friday just because its a deal.
Aethetics of Hate and Constant Motion are two of my favorite songs by the respective bands.
If you haven't heard Dream Theater or Machine Head (and are a fan of metal) take my word for it when I say you MUST seek them out. I can't believe it's been this long with NEITHER of them in Video Game form. Could have something to do with the difficulty I suppose.
They are both the best at what they do (Dream Theater to Prog Metal and Machine Head to Balls-to-the-wall Heavy Metal) and these songs represent them entirely.
A RoadRunner Records pack and there's no goddamned Slipknot? What kind of bullshit RR pack is this? And they have a new album out in a few weeks! Psychosocial should be on this pack...
At least they didn't put any goddamned Nickelback.
Slipknot AND Dragonforce...even though DF is going to be in GHWT. We can still wait and hope though.
Still, these tracks are freakin awesome, especially Constant Motion.
Actually, I'll be skipping Killswitch and Machine Head, but grabbing the other four for sure.
I hope that in some future week we get some of the older (better) Megadeth, and also more classic rock.
<- Stahlbrand is not down with contemporary-plastic-punk-emo-indie music. But, I'm sure everybody will get the chance to enjoy the music they love, all the DLC balances out in the end.
IN THE SAME DAY?!?!?!??!!?
This is the happiest I've ever been about a Rock Band DLC announcement. I refrained from writing this whole comment in all caps to keep people from thinking I'm crazy.
(For reference: http://www.musicplayers.com/features/drums/2007/images/Portnoy_Kit_front.jpg)
In all seriousness though, Megadeth/Dream Theater for the mega-win. It's like Gigantour 2006 all over again!
Needs moar At The Gates.
Then again, I'll save my pennies and move on.
HOLY FUCK.
However, if you want to delete a song, you have to delete the entire pack and redownload the rest of them.
So it's a toss-up really.
