Unconfirmed: Soundgarden and Red Hot Chili Peppers tracks in Rock Band photo

The Internets is reporting (in two separate instances) that the latest build of Rock Band being displayed on the current nationwide tour, will contain two yet to be revealed tracks.

According to forum members on both the Score Hero and Something Awful forums, Soundgarden's "Black Hole Sun" and the Red Hot Chili Peppers' "Dani California" will be playable when the tour hits cities this fall. The tour, which starts today in Las Vegas, will make its way through 24 cities, ending up in Orlando, FL this December. 

So if the tour doesn't start until today, and there are no listed tour stops in St. Louis, what gives? While it's not entirely impossible that the tour's big rig made some early stops, this remains unconfirmed, and possible nonsense. But with two sources reporting it on two seperate forums, it's hard to ignore.

And the Internet doesn't lie. 

[Thanks, Xzyliac!]

Oh damn you, sir, for using a screencap from one of the creepiest videos ever. Soundgarden is tasty, though. I will trust the internets.

Ahhh! I remember from that video where the chick is trying to chop up the fish.

And Dani California?! Could they have picked a worse RHCP song?

Dani California? Yeesh. There are so many, many other RHCP tracks I'd rather play. Like everything they recorded before 1994. Right after One Hot Minute, they turned pop and became disinteresting.

Also, WTF is up with that nationwide tour? They're going to New Orleans but not Houston? All of New Orleans moved here back in 2005.

There' less than 300,000 people living there, and yet there's about 2.5 million in Houston. I guess we suck.

True, nearly any other Peppers song would be better, but, like I say with "The Metal" by Tenacious D in Guitar Hero 3, at least they've got one song by that band, which could easily lead to their other songs being in future releases.

Also, if Black Hole Sun is in fact in Rock Band, the game will be so awesome that I'll buy it twice. You know, so that I have a backup copy from wearing out the original.

Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww.

This is why I'm getting fucking pissed about the track selection in Rock Band. Everytime I hear something, it's the one overplayed, really fucking annoying, not-even-that-good-for-the-gameplay song from a band. Black Hole Sun is a FUCKING TERRIBLE song compared to the rest of Sound Garden's library. Rusty Cage is 1000x better than that shit. Or they could do Spoon Man and put in the spoon soloing XD.

And obviously, same goes for RHCP, what the fuck is up with that? They have 20 years of history and they pick some shite off Stadium Arcadium?

Hm, only ever heard recent stuff by the Red Hot Chili Peppers and was never impressed. Thank god that even if tracklist isn't all gold, there will be plenty of downloadable content to fill it back up to awesome.

As far as the Black Hole Sun pick goes, it's a great way to open a generation of previously unnutured children into the songs that we, 20+ adults, used to listen to. Hopefully though better songs will be show up if the title survives(Yes, I said it! It'll prolly fail! BAH!) And I agree with the judgment of the Dani California song. I understand the pick of a catchy, popular title from a little-kids-will-empty-their-parents-pockets-esque standpoint, but... yahweh, thats a cacophony of disgusting sounds. Would have much rather heard "Breaking the Girl", "I Could Have Lied" or... something where Kiedis sounds like he gives a shit. No one ever said Rock Band was going to be a game for the musical elitist though...

For all the people that hate Dani California....

Getting born in the state of Mississippi
Papa was a copper and mama was a hippie
In Alabama she would swing a hammer
Price you gotta pay when you break the panorama
She never knew that there was anything more than poor
What in the world does your company take me for

Black bandana, sweet Louisiana
robbin' all a bank in the state of Indiana
She's a runner, rebel and a stunner
On her merry way sayin; baby whatcha gonna
Lookin' down the barrel of a hot metal 45
Just another way to survive

California rest in peace
Simultaneous release
California show your teeth
She's my priestess, I'm your priest
YEAH, YEAH

She's a lover baby and a fighter
Shoulda seen it coming when it got a little brighter
With a name like Dani California
The day was gonna come whe I was gonna mourn ya
A little loaded, she was stealing another breath
I love my baby to death

California rest in peace
Simultaneous release
California show your teeth
She's my priestess, I'm your priest
YEAH, YEAH

Who knew the other side of you?
Who knew that others died to prove
Too true to say good bye to you
Too true to say say say..

Push the fader gifted animator
One for the now and eleven for the later

Never made it up to Minnesota
North Dakota man was a gunning for the quota

Down in the badlands she was savin' the best for last
It only hurts when I laugh
Gone too fast..

California rest in peace
Simultaneous release,
California show your teeth,
She's my priestess, I'm your priest
YEAH, YEAH
California rest in peace
Simultaneous release,
California do your deed,
She's my priestess, I'm your priest
YEAH, YEAH

GAH! WHY CAN'T THEY COME DOWN TO MIAMI. WHY STOP AT ORLANDO?

Well, at least knowing I'll be playing BHS repeatedly for several months gives solice to my broken Rock Band heart.
