Gah I was hoping that europe meant sweden... melodic death metal to be precise. More At The Gates and maybe some old In Flames, Soilwork and Dark Tranquility please.

Out of the songs I know (the first four) I plan on picking up Muse and Tokio, both songs are quite awesome and very differently paced. That and it's nice to have some more easy going song like Moonsoon.

Yay, Muse. Sorry European gamers. Sad thing is, it's likely we'll be getting these tracks before you guys do... Which is really just pitiful...

This pisses all over us euro-gamers even more, frankly. After all of the shoddy treatment we've had with Rock Band lately, its insulting to have our "exclusive" tracks available for US gamers - at half the cost we pay.

I've only heard of Oasis and Blur, and I hate Blur. If this is why they pay 2.5 times the US price, they should be very angry indeed.

I was expecting a Blur song, but was hoping the UK tracks would include the Stone Roses. Only indie nerds have heard of them here in the states, but they had mainstream success and acclaim over in the UK. Would be cool to jam for 8 minutes on "I am the Resurrection".

Plug In Baby, Hysteria, and New Born would be the best DLC pack that Microsoft could ever release.

Needless to say I'm getting Hysteria when it comes out, checked some of the other stuff on YouTube and it's kinda shit.

Ragna Rock — Tue, 08 Apr 2008 15:12:44 MDT

@ChibiKyKiske: I agree. Stockhoml syndrome is probably my fav muse song. that and butterflies and hurricanes. but the piano is so important in that song, I don't think it would be good for Rock Band. Maybe The Small Print? That'd would be awesome.

Tokio Hotel are actually a German band. They are famous among young girls (10-15 years old), actually the lead singer looks like a girl and, the most important fact for today, they make really shitty music. Watch their even shittier video on youtube:

And please, do the world a favor and DON'T BUY THAT SONG!!

I just wish the Europeans wouldn't get shafted like they usually are. Rock Band is fun but not I'll give an arm and leg for it fun. Hopefully from here til then people complain enough that they drop the price.

Also yes more option is good like Kyle81 said

Ungruntled — Tue, 08 Apr 2008 14:10:46 MDT

Rock Band can kiss my British arse now. I was only saying a few days ago that I would be well up for it if the price is reasonable, despite the fact that I find Guitar Hero games a load of fake posing nonsense... I was up for the drums, see. But there's no way I'm paying what they're asking. For one sodding game? No, no, and once again, NO.

Barbara — Tue, 08 Apr 2008 14:07:56 MDT

I love Rock Band and all but while there's a few cool indie songs here and there, most of the tracks are made up of outdated generic hard rock songs. It's like Harmonix devs are stuck in their sophomore year in high school circa 1994.

Squirminator2k — Tue, 08 Apr 2008 14:01:01 MDT

I'm relieved that these songs are going to be available in the States. I was seriously considering buying the EU-PS3 version of Rock Band so I could play "Hysteria".

We do need more Muse, though. And some Beatles.

ParaParaKing — Tue, 08 Apr 2008 13:57:57 MDT

So Europe waiting half a year for 9 exclusive songs, that aren't even exclusive.
Or if you look at it in another way: Europe gets a 15$ DLC discount. (Which certainly is the reason for the higher price.)

NeoStarr — Tue, 08 Apr 2008 13:56:18 MDT

Allow me to wager a guess...
Well the past few weeks it's generally been pack/individual songs/pack rotation, so I'm guessing we'll see something like a French pack first week, the three English songs individually second week, and a German pack third week. That'll give Europe three weeks to catch up on buying the downloadable content that we already have over here. They've been kind of slack with the content delivery lately. There was only one song last week, though it was a guaranteed crowd pleaser and also free, then this week is the former OXM exclusives. I'd assume their pushing all of their resources towards the Wii/European release of the game, so it wouldn't surprise me if we saw these tracks fairly soon since their essentially getting two birds stoned at once by creating this weeks DLC and the European exclusive content at the same time. Hopefully it stays European exclusive for a while though, since we've already got months on them for the leaderboards, I think they deserve a fair advantage on at least a couple songs.

i'll check out hysteria by muse. one of their better singles. it'd be nice to see something from showbiz like Muscle Museum or something like that. Stockholm Syndrome seems like it'd be fun to play. it'd be funny if the got Dream Theater's "Never Enough" to be released along with stockholm syndrome.

Are there bands who are in both SingStar and Rock Band, or is it basically an either-or arrangement? I ask because Placebo, my Fiancee's favorite band, is on Singstar but I have yet to see anything about their stuff coming to Rock Band, and I know she would flip out if it did ;)
