The AG Rock Band 3 DLC Jamboree - 30th March, 2011

Feature from Nat - Friday, 01 April 2011 @ 1:08am

This weekly article will serve as a guide for what DLC is appearing on the various digital Rock Band stores this week in history. With a veritable bevy of usually quite decent content appearing every week, hopefully this article can serve as somewhat of a guide for what to look out for and what to avoid like the clappers.

Rock Band 3:

Looks like it's going to be a good week for guitarists, with some damn challenging DragonForce songs hitting the network:

DragonForce – Through the Fire and Flames (Pro mode available, if you're insane)
DragonForce – Operation Ground and Pound

Am I the only guitarist in recorded history that didn't like playing Through the Fire and Flames? Asides from the first challenging thirty seconds or so, it really wasn't that fun - hell, AC/DC's Thunderstruck was just as hard. Still, people can rejoice! Now, if Buckethead's Jordan hit the network next week, I'd be chuffed.

Also releasing this week:

Days of Peace Pack 01:
Jefferson Airplane – Somebody to Love
Blood, Sweat & Tears – Spinning Wheel
Santana – Black Magic Woman (Pro Mode Available)

That's a surprisingly awesome track pack - Somebody to Love is timeless, Black Magic Woman is brilliant fun on guitar and I can't wait to have a go at singing Spinning Wheel. Excellent work, Harmonix!

Finally, here's this weeks Rock Band Network releases, and It's a doozy:

Anamanaguchi - Airbrushed

This song is brilliant and I love any excuse to post Chiptunes on the front page, so here for your viewing pleasure:

FYI, these are the guys who did all the music from the Scott Pilgrim Vs The World XBLA/PSN game last year, arguably the only good part about it.

That wraps up another week at the DLC Jamboree, what tickles your fancy this week? More importantly, chiptunes: Awesome, or Awesome?
