Moar Metallica plz. Seek & Destroy would be very nice. Fade to Black, Creeping Death. The old stuff.

Needs moar AC/DC, Foo Fighters, fucking Megadeth ! Moar Iron Maiden, The Offspring. How about some REAL Metal, like Pantera \m/

Ok, maybe i'm asking too much... -_-'

@massnerder76: Word and word.

Now that there are already 3 "D.O.A." songs (Including "Dead on Arrival" and "Wanted Dead or Alive", of course) on Rock Band, do the Foo even have a chance in this crowded market? So sad.

At the Gates are great.
I really hope Harmonix also release Slaughter of the Soul and Cold as DLC.

@The Cat With Two Heads:

It's so nice to see I wasn't the only person that thought of that song... Of course, you'd have to do the organ siren on the guitar (wee-ooo-wee-ooo) since it's the bulk of the song. I can just picture my friends singing it though...

Finally some metal, a genre which is perfect for this game (well, maybe not the vocal aspect so much...). I'll be getting ATG when I get home.

A side note, by the fact they included At the Gates, a death metal band, in a "thrash" pack pretty much tells me there will be no death metal pack. Shame.

I would pay $30 for Blinded by Fear. I wish they put out every damn song on Slaughter of the Soul. So good!

Oh, but I do agree with the above comment re: Evile being a Slayer ripoff.

Evile = True Crime
Slayer = GTA3

Great, the makings of another music snob war - "this is terrible" vs. "best DLC yet!"

For Christ sake, just be glad there's some variety. Maybe you don't like this week's stuff, or last week's stuff, or the week before that - no one gives a shit if you hate this stuff, because they are constantly bringing out a pretty goddamn wide variety of stuff. In the last several weeks we've had the B-52s, Nine Inch Nails, Grateful Dead, and At the Gates (among many others). We've had pop-rock, industrial rock, classic rock, and thrash. We've had major label bands and indie bands. Oh, and the Portal song is just around the corner.

If you can't find at least ONE thing that you like in the last month's worth of stuff, then YOU have the problem, not Harmonix.

This could do with less Evile, seriously if you want a horrible rehash of Slayer tunes be my guest but god they are awful.

Also note two fifths of At The Gates are in The Haunted a coincidence?

Mr. Mastodon Farm — Tue, 18 Mar 2008 05:30:38 MDT

I was really hoping that D.O.A. was going to be Bloodrock rather than The Haunted.

I also acknowledge how absolutely ridiculously unlikely that would be for a Bloodrock song to make it into Rock Band.

GOLD5 — Mon, 17 Mar 2008 23:59:04 MDT

If they're gonna release specialized music like this why can't they release a poppy pack the same week? There would be like zero cross over if they released more Sounds or B-52's (or something MY WIFE could sing to so I won't get in as much trouble for buying this game!) I would really like Message in the Bottle, Police and more Foo Fighters, Nirvana and Hole. As well, Jungle Love by Steve Miller and Even Flow by Pearl Jam (yes I played it in Guitar Hero, but since my Rock Band controller won't work with that, I'm not buying it).

I haven't heard these bands, but I used to love everything I heard on Earache back in the 90's. Speaking of which, how about some of that stuff? Especially Godflesh.

Boring.

I think Thursday would be a good, challenging fit for Rock Band. All of the musicians in that band excel at what they do. That would be cool. Maybe something like At The Drive-In, too. Maybe? Please?

Pay_Me_Or_Pay_Me_No_Attention — Mon, 17 Mar 2008 22:05:13 MDT

of course Zeppelin doesn't fit in that genre but they had to be mentioned!

I wonder if there's some behind the scenes war between Rock Band and GH to sign exclusive bands or tracks?

Where are the following bands?

The Cure
The Smiths
Jane's Addiction
New Order
Joy Division
Alice in Chains
Depeche Mode
Pearl Jam
Led Zeppelin
Duran Duran

I mean, there's like a WHOLE genre of 80's/90's alternative that they haven't really touched at all..

The Man In Japan — Mon, 17 Mar 2008 21:24:28 MDT

Is there anywhere to preview these tracks? Or some of the other DLC? They should allow a streamed preview via XBL like they do for some of the movies. It'd make my purchasing decisions a helluva lot easier.

bgeorget — Mon, 17 Mar 2008 20:57:06 MDT

D.O.A. is one of my favorite The Haunted songs. Great download. Not enough metal on rock band - bring more recent bands! Classic trash is cool, but we need more heavy recent stuff like The Haunted.

Phronima — Mon, 17 Mar 2008 19:49:58 MDT

I've never even played the game but eh, they call that thrash? I know they would never put obscure old bands I like but I still feel like complaining... even though I don't own or intend to play the game. I think for my first comment though, I'll refrain from listing bands I like so I don't like an elitist ass.

CyN1caL — Mon, 17 Mar 2008 19:22:37 MDT

@baked ham: Evile is a pretty new band from the UK. Their first album came out recently, and they've been touring with Megadeth on Gigantour the passed few months.

After listening to their album and watching some of their live videos, they are probably one of the best new thrash bands in the last few years. Thrasher is the best song in the pack imo.

At the Gates = good
Evile = who the hell is evile?
The Haunted = good first album, haven't heard any of their stuff since, it's possible I'd enjoy this track.

I haven't bought Rock Band DLC since December. I think I'll pick up this pack, though.

I likes all kinds o' music and noise.

Polywhirl — Mon, 17 Mar 2008 19:05:10 MDT

At least thrash is different.
Much of the Rock has fallen into the same genre, mainstream.
I want some real punk soon, though. The Clash is nice, but they're not exactly the "new" punk (And by new, I mean the 80's, of course).

I've essentially given up on Who's Next. It's become some sort of mythical piece of DLC, survived through folk tales of numerous generations dating back to the Civil War.

Still Alive better come out soon though. These last few packs have been rather terrible (for my tastes at least.)
