All reviewsKings of Leon's pack supplies a diverse blend of sounds, and fun.
4 out of 5 starsKicking off Harmonix's inevitable quest to "steal" as many songs from Guitar Hero 5 in the coming months is a three-pack from Kings of Leon, featuring the much-anticipated and critically acclaimed hit "Sex on Fire." The grand, reverb-heavy track which became the most downloaded digital single of all time makes a fantastic transition to the music game world, and is definitely the highlight here. Featuring a subtle,…
By the numbers indie rock, but an easy sell at only $1 per track.
3 out of 5 starsContinuing Harmonix's long-running fetish for local Boston acts comes Big Dipper, an indie rock outfit from the late 80s who recently rereleased most of their discography. The songs border on formulaic at times, but have hooks in all the right places, and at only $3 this pack is a decent bargain. All three songs follow your basic verse/chorus/verse format, and typically on guitar you'll play a chordy riff during the…
Priest's miscellaneous live offering disappointingly unnecessary.
3 out of 5 starsJudas Priest have set the bar reasonably high for Rock Band, with the two great speed metal anthems The Hellion/Electric Eye and Painkiller, not to mention the rest of Screaming for Vengeance (RB's very first full album) which provides a broad range of musical styles and challenge. It's shocking then, just how slow, plodding, and ultimately irrelevant these three live tracks are in comparison. In an effort to save…
Great as a change of pace, not for those looking for a challenge.
4 out of 5 starsThe Dead Weather, a collaboration (some would say supergroup) between Jack White (The White Stripes) and members of The Kills, Queens of the Stone Age, and The Raconteurs, made their Rock Band debut on the same day their first album, Horehound, hit the shelves. While the band is not as perfect a fit for the game as this promotion may lead you to believe, this three pack offers an interesting slice of grimy, lo-fi,…

So a bunch of Wiki mods have been cut, including myself -- definitely understandable, and not at all problematic. I had a lot of fun both contributing to and helping to take down the massive queue of submissions at the beginning. It felt great to be a part of such an innovative site, and just to help out the dudes whom I have such an utmost respect for. However, as time went on, and as the queu...
Nothing can stop elite Rock Band drummers now.

Hot tamales and they're ret hot. God damn . Just hours after this song went up, this happens: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gqfZ1oP4mZM Still can't believe this song is actually in Rock Band now, and not just in Rock Band in my imagination. I got the first documented FC on guitar, which is like... yeah, nowhere near as impressive as on drums.

Tribute To The Time Ryan & Jeff Referenced Guitar Hero: Ween
Jul 26, 2008
It's time to flash back to March 18, 2008. A brand new podcast from our friends Jeff & Ryan is taking the Internet by storm . Still the early days of the true Giant Bombcast, one topic of discussion is the rumored Guitar Hero: Beatles (which I doubt is actually in the works at this point, by the way.) Seeing as how Ween is my all time favorite band, and I've always stood behind the concept that...
