This Week's Rock Band DLC: Hives, Iron Maiden, STP (Updated, Now Available via XBLM)

Related Topics – Rock Band, Top Spin 3, DLC, Xbox Live Marketplace, PlayStation Store

Update: The below songs are now available to Xbox 360 players through the online Xbox Live Marketplace.

Original Story: As has become customary, this week will see new tracks made available for owners of the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 versions of Rock Band, with developer Harmonix issuing the specifics on the game's message board.

This week's three new tunes are "Die, All Right!" by The Hives, "Interstate Love Song" by Stone Temple Pilots, and a cover of Iron Maiden's "Number of the Beast."

Each song will sell for 160 Microsoft Points ($2) on the Xbox Live Marketplace, where they will be available Tuesday, and $1.99 through the PlayStation Store, which will have the new tracks Thursday.

STP: Where's "Plush" or "Dead and Bloated" -- or *anything* off of Core? I loved that album.
