Rock Band DLC: Nickelback Six-Pack

by Alice O'Connor, Jun 25, 2010 9:10am PDT

Facing the near-impossible task of finding an act that can follow Miley Cyrus for next week's batch of Rock Band downloadable tunes, Harmonix has turned to... Nickelback.

Six tracks from the radio-friendly Canadian rockers will be released as downloadable content next week, which is possibly equivalent to two or three unique songs.

Nickelback Pack

Nickelback - "Burn It to the Ground"
Nickelback - "Figured You Out"
Nickelback - "Never Again"
Nickelback - "Photograph"
Nickelback - "Rockstar"
Nickelback - "This Afternoon"

All original master recordings, the tracks will be available on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and Wii from June 29 for $1.99 (160 Microsoft Points, 200 Wii Points). They can also be had altogether on 360 and PS3 in the $9.99 (800 MS Points) discount Nickelback Pack.

Perhaps Harmonix felt guilty after the Rock Band Network was reportedly developed under the code name Rock Band: Nickelback "on the theory that the name of the quintessentially generic modern rock group would be enough to deflect all curiosity."

If they're hated this much, they must be doing something right. I'll pick up a couple.

i'm loving the collective hate for this band.

on many things the shack is divided, but when we all come together, even the shackstaff, who generally try to remain neutral, we show that we, like the humans did when the covenant threat arrived, or when the locust emerged from the ground, we can stand as one and tear something we hate to pieces.

Good move on their part. I'm sure they'll get far more revenue off these two packs then everything on RBN combined. Just another example of how the "hardcore" are ultimately insignificant to the companies bottom lines and now that they know this the future will be geared more towards the mainstream. Farmville/Mafia Wars on all 3 consoles is next

I cannot articulate the level of hate I have for this joke of a band. I also find it hilarious that people keep buying tickets to this shitfest just to have the opportunity to bounce something of that fools head.

If they're going for authenticity then regardless of the difficulty setting these songs should only require players to use the first three buttons on the guitar.

Remember when Chad was all over Guitar Hero, and telling people to "Set down the 'Guitar Hero' learn how to play an actual guitar and start a band..."?

Yeah, now his band wants to sell you their Rock Band downloads. Pfft.

If Rock Band 3's higher purpose is to try and teach me Nickelback songs down the line, then your needs are simple and so is my answer - NO.
