In anticipation of next week's launch of the first downloadable episode for Grand Theft Auto IV, The Lost and Damned, Rockstar Games has unleashed a bigger, more leathery taste of the expansion's motley crew.

The trailer not only features some fantastic metal flashbacks, but also a few guest appearances from familiar GTA IV faces, including our dear old Mr. Bellic. I particularly like the little sneer that Johnny Klebitz busts out at the halfway mark.

Xbox Live Marketplace got the trailer a little while ago, if you're looking for another way to watch. Who's planning on grabbing the download next Tuesday?
