"Back from the Dead," Rock ‘n' Roll Nightmare" and "Warmer Than Hell" comprise three of the four tracks in the Spinal Tap Pack, along with "Saucy Jack", a song about Jack the Ripper previously only available on the band's website. The pack is promoting the new combination album and DVD release, which will be punctuated by a live reunion concert at London's Wembley Arena on June 30. Bassist Derek Smalls comments on the track pack.

"Tap has always gone where the audience is. We hope this time the audience reciprocates. Whatever that means."

For those of you who take your music a little more seriously, next week also sees the release of the Evanescence Track Pack, featuring two songs from The Open Door - "Call Me When You're Sober" and "Weight of the World" - along with their smash hit "Bring Me To Life", which is one of those songs you just assume was already in Rock Band.

Both packs will be available on June 16th for the Xbox 360 and June 18th for the PlayStation 3.

Somehow I got through this entire post without making a "goes to 11" reference. I think I deserve pizza.

Somewhat of a niche title, but makes sense — Konami does own a chain of sports clubs in Japan. Though, hot on the heels of the yoga game, comes another back bending Konami title: Dokodemo Pilates ("Anywhere Pilates"). Pilates? Yes, Pilates! You too can learn to control your muscles and improve posture via your Nintendo DS. Basically, it's the equivalent of an instructional video on your DS. Not sure if Pilates is even more niche than yoga or what. I personally look forward to more of these Dokodemo games from Konami. They haven't quite reached kooky, yet. Almost there!

Courtesy of the latest EGM comes a much longer, but not complete, list of songs that we'll be click-clicking away at come November.

  • Nirvana "Heart-Shaped Box"
  • Primus "John the Fisherman"

  • Anthrax "Madhouse"
  • Motley Crue "Shout at the Devil"
  • The Police "Message in a Bottle"
  • The Pretenders "Tattooed Love Boys"
  • Spinal Tap "Tonight I'm Gonna Rock You Tonight

Wow. Spinal Tap! Never in my wildest dreams would I have thought that Harmonix would go there, but I'm so glad that they did. More songs after the jump!

  • Heart "Crazy on You"
  • Allman Brothers Band "Jessica"
  • Lynyrd Skynrd "Freebird"
  • Avenged Sevenfold "Beast and the Harlot"

Amazing. When Gizmodo editor Mark Wilson and I hit the Guitar Hero bus at E3, we made our way through "War Pigs", "Psychobilly Freakout" and "YYZ" thinking it just wasn't going to get much better than that. Oh how we were wrong! Michael McWhertor
