Nice! Harmonix has to make money anyway, i really hope they put more mainstream artists, maybe putting more artists like Pink will bring back more people to play RockBand...

WTF is up with the lack of "Like a pill" anyway?

One of hard rock’s most successful bands during the 1980s, Cinderella has sold more than 20 million albums worldwide. On April 24th, a three-pack of songs from this multi-platinum band is headed to the Rock Band Music Store!

“Nobody’s Fool,” Cinderella’s second single from their triple platinum debut, Night Songs, kicks off the pack. The power ballad “Don’t Know What You Got (Till It’s Gone),” off of 1988’s Long Cold Winter, was the band’s most successful single. The song will be available as part of the three-pack, with an optional Pro Guitar and Pro Bass Upgrade available. Closing out the pack will be “Shelter Me,” the lead single from 1990’s Heartbreak Station.

Available on Xbox 360, Wii and PlayStation 3 April 24th , 2012

Cinderella was pretty much made for Rock Band; ridiculous vocals, strong guitar licks and so ridiculously overblown in every other area. I love it.

Yep. Never would've predicted or requested it, but it's obvious in hindsight. Of course Cinderella would be in Rock Band eventually.

Drums will probably be a little disappointing though, hair metal tended to be pretty straightforward beats.

Totally. Can't complain here.

Still waiting for more Maiden and also Counting Crows who seems criminally absent from DLC.

Rock Band can never have too many power ballads.

If you're interested in "Interplanetary Cruise", Jeff Ball is a game composer who has worked on several big games such as Gears of War 3, Mass Effect 3, and Red Orchestra 2. This song is from the Xbox Live Indie Game Astroman, which was named one of the best XBLIGs of 2010.

Here's a preview: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RrkVaqR49XQ

Yes, it's easy, but it's a nice song to chill out to after playing all the metal songs that come out on RBN. ;

As for a recommendation on something I didn't work on, PS3 players should try out "Cheesy Pop Song". It's... well, it's exactly what you think it is.

Two Tickets to Paradise (excellent guitar riff) is one song I've wanted in Rock Band for ages. Shame I don't have the means to play the game any more as there's been a tonne of DLC I would love to get that's been released since I moved abroad last year.

So you've waired so long... waited so long? Sorry I couldn't help myself. Anyway, looks like this will be the first DLC week in a while where I get anything.

Can't wait to see how awful Killing in the Name will be censored.

Only song I'm going to get.

Probably censored the same way the cover version was censored in Harmonix's Guitar Hero. (I think it was Gh2?)

That's not even possible. They replaced "Fuck you, I won't do what you tell me" with "You're under control, I won't do what you tell me", and "Motherfucker" with "Under control!". They're just going to remove those lines this time because that's the only way they can actually censor songs.

People that are part of the Rewards program will get 80 points back if you spend 240 or more buying songs this month.

It's a good excuse. I bought both Erasure tracks because I love bad music.
