Nine new songs are coming to the ever-venerable Rock Band this week. The big headliner band is The Offspring, who will be offering up three songs for download as part of a package. It will include the lovely songs “Gone Away,” “Pretty Fly (For a White Guy),” and “Self Esteem.” All of the aforementioned songs are terrible, but only Nick is the real judge of these things.
There’s also a pretty hefty smattering of titles coming out this week, all at the low price of $1.99 on Xbox Live Marketplace and PlayStation Network:
Against Me! – “Stop!”
Free – “All Right Now”
George Thorogood and the Destroyers – “Bad to the Bone”
Harvey Danger – “Cream & Bastards Rise”
Screaming Trees – “Nearly Lost you”
Static-X – “Push It”
All of these songs will be available October 7th on Xbox Live Marketplace and October 9th on the PlayStation Store. They can be played with any one of the plastic instruments strewn around your gaming room.

It being my penis.
Not sure if you caught that.
BLASPHEMY! All those songs are awesome! Also, I love that Free song...
Shame they haven't put "The Kids Aren't Alright" in this pack. Here's hoping it shows up in a second pack, or maybe they think it's a desirable enough song to sell only as a single.
I know, I can't comprehend the awesomeness of The Offspring ether.
I'm really disappointed with the Against Me! pick. Stop! is an awful song.
@Holyetheline- it would be really hard to find new Radiohead that could be worked into rockband, but id LOVE to sse The Bends album on here
Also, Cream & Bastards Rise gives me at least a half-staff in my pants. I fucking LOVE Harvey Danger.
Also, Rock Band needs more ska.
I saw them with Slayer and Pantera back in 2000...wow...I know they play with a backing track sometimes, but it was still a great show!
I'm sorry but seriously...saying that Free is terrible with All Right Now is like saying Slow Ride is shit and School's Out by Alice Cooper is garbage...
Not trying to pick a fight here but seriously man saying Offspring is the only quality pick in there is pretty pigheaded.
So far I've seen Megadeth, Chili's when they were great, Static X, Offspring, and a few others that have been a surprise...I am, and I can't believe I'm sayin this, pretty impressed with the licensing from MTV on Rockband. Some Tool, Opeth, Death, Led Zepplin, Carcass, Faith No More, Slayer, Soundgarden, Strapping Young Lad, Down, Pantera, Danzig, Alice In Chains, Anthrax, Cannibal Corpse, Sepultura, Corrosion of Conformity, etc etc... would be awesome.
In all honesty to hit a wider audience(I know my tastes are selective) some Corrosion of Conformity, Powderfinger, Tragically Hip, Ghandharvas, Spacehog, Filter, Ministry, Grapes of Wrath, Incubus(COME ON WHO DOESN'T WANT THAT!), Pink Floyd( THIS IS PARAMOUNT!!!! MORE FLOYD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!), Johnny Cash, Iron Maiden, Monster Magnet, Pearl Jam, Perfect Circle, Prince (PURPLE RAIN RECORD!! CMON!), Queensryche, Stabbing Westward, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Hank Williams, Merle Haggard, Tea Party, Temple of the Dog, Threat Signal, Treble Charger, Type O Negative(Try to hit those lows)...there's tonnes I know.
But who in their right mind wouldn't get any Ugly Kid Joe. GO GET THEIR STUFF ON HERE! Totaly party music.
K sorry for the rant and list... Cheers!
Also I remember that fucking Static-X song, though I have no idea why. I think coz' it had some crazy video or something.
... anyone remember that game. 10points to yourself if you do. but -20 points for remembering such a horrible game.
There's already Iron Lung and Creep by Radiohead. That said, you can never have enough Radiohead.
Push It is a pretty cool song - plus Bad To The Bone should be fun. Definately won't be getting All Right Now though...
Never quite got what aforementioned means, did you?
I was wondering the same thing.
The Offspring fuckin rock, especially "Gone Away"
