Rock Band DLC: Red Hot Chili Peppers and Rush, Includes Never Before Released Rush Master
by Chris Faylor, Jul 03, 2008 12:01pm PDTDeveloper Harmonix has unveiled next week's downloadable content for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 editions of its multi-instrument music title Rock Band:
- Red Hot Chili Peppers - "Snow (Hey Oh)"
- Red Hot Chili Peppers - "Tell Me Baby"
- Rush - "Closer to the Heart"
- Rush - "Working Man (Alternate Take Master)"
A cover of Rush's "Working Man" was previously released as DLC this past January.
"This version, however, is an alternate-take master from the same session [Rush] recorded the hit with an alternate solo," Harmonix's Sean Baptiste explained on the game's forum. "It has never been released."
Individually priced at 160 Microsoft Points ($2) a piece, each master track will be available for download from the Xbox Live Marketplace beginning Tuesday, July 8.
As usual, the PlayStation 3's online PlayStation Store will receive the songs on the following Thursday, July 10.

To quote the announcement:
"one of the songs is "Working Man" which we have put out as a DLC cover a few months back. This version, however, is an alternate-take master from the same session they recorded the hit with an alternate solo. It has never been released. Some days it is really amazing to have this job. Seriously."
