Well, we’ve speculated about it, we’ve polled you about it, we’ve assumed it. Now it’s for realz yo. Today Harmonix announced that Rock Band 2 is official and IGN has an exclusive interview with the Lead Designer Dan Teasdale, set to hit stores as early as September 2008.
The Big Question that gets answered: Will Rock Band DLC that we collected for the first game be compatible in Two? Answer: YES!!!

Remember when you were excited at the prospect of The Who’s “Who’s Next” album joining the ranks of Rock Band’s DLC roster? Remember when we reported that the tracks were MIA, and the album was nixed? Well, there may still be some hope.
According to an article published by the Associated Press, mostly concerned with the announcement of Rock Band 2, there’s a little blurb about 2/3 down that is as follows:

After perusing the local retailer ads Sunday morning, I figured it’d be a good idea to notify our readers about a few deals going on this week in conjunction with Sunday’s release of Guitar Hero: Aerosmith.
These deals will end this coming Saturday, July 5th, so get there before the freebies are gone!

After this week’s painful drain on wallets, next week’s DLC offerings will be much appreciated! Just announced on the Rock Band forums, 4 new tracks will be making their way to the Xbox LIVE Marketplace and Sony PSN store next week, in honor of Cruefest!
Cruefest pack:
- “Down At The Whisky” - Motley Crue
- “Time Is Running Out” - Papa Roach
- “Who’s Going Home With You Tonight?” - Trapt
A bonus track will also be available FOR FREE from the upcoming movie, “The Rocker”, starring Rainn Wilson (Dwight Schrute himself) of “The Office” fame.
Bonus Track:
- “Promised Land” - Vesuvius
The Cruefest tracks will run $.99 (80 MS points) each, or $2.99 (240 MS points) for the 3-pack. The bonus track will, again, be free of charge. Make sure to check out our DLC Central page for updated information on these new songs.
An interesting update this week to be sure. A new free DLC track for Guitar Hero 3 is now availbale on both the Xbox LIVE Marketplace and PSN store. The track, titled “I am Murloc” , will be familiar to most avid World of Warcraft users. It was debuted at BlizzCon 2005, and was created by Blizzard’s in-house band, Level 70 Tauren Chieftain. The song is reportedly a humorous ode to a race of fish people, much beloved by players of the game.
Whether you’re a Warcraft player or not, there’s not really an excuse to turn down free DLC. Time will tell if there will be any future similar installments coming from ActiBlizzion, now that the two companies have become one. [Author's note: I don't play WoW, so this is all new to me.....]
Aerosmith will be rocking Times Square today to unveil Guitar Hero: Aerosmith. After the news conference, the local Hard Rock Cafe will be transformed into a ‘Rocking Lounge’ where a few lucky rockers will be able to play the game before it goes on sale this Sunday (6/29/2008). I hope Activision could secure Liv to show up to support her Dad!
