Yngwie Malmsteen in Rock Band Game!

Rock Band Scores DLC from Soundgarden, Yngwie Malmsteen!!

Numerous bands will jam alongside the Killers in Rock Band next week


In addition to the previously reveled three-pack from the Killers, Harmonix has announced several other artists that will be joining the band as next week's Rockband DLC. Tracks from the Chris Cornell-fronted grunge trailblazers Soundgarden will accompany the Killers, along with legendary Swedish guitarist Yngwie Malmsteen and metal group Lamb of God. As usual, these downloads will arrive Tuesday on Xbox Live and Thursday on the PlayStation Store, and will be available individually for $1.99 (160 Microsoft points) and in bundled three-packs where applicable for $5.49 (440 Microsoft points). The entire list of next week's offerings looks something like this:
  • "Mr. Brightside" by the Killers
  • "Smile Like You Mean It" by the Killers
  • "Spaceman" by the Killers
  • "Caprici Di Diablo" by Yngwie Malmsteen
  • "Damnation Game" by Yngwie Malmsteen
  • "Red Devil" by Yngwie Malmsteen
  • "Jesus Christ Pose" by Soundgarden
  • "Pretty Noose" by Soundgarden
  • "Laid To Rest" by Lamb of God

Yet another diverse batch of songs as the Rock Band platform marches ever closer to the year-end goal of 500 songs. Between the awesomely laid-back "Pretty Noose" and Yngwie Malmsteen's trademark blistering solos, next week should be able to cater to a wide spectrum of tastes and skill levels. As great as some of these tracks are, however, we're more than a little bitter that we still don't have Texas Flood. Patience is not our strong suit when it comes to Stevie Ray Vaughan.

Look Who's Artist of the Week!

last.fm “The Social Music Revolution”

"Widely recognised for his guitar skills, Malmsteen achieved widespread acclaim in the 1980s for his technical proficiency and his pioneering of the shred guitar technique, and neo-classical metal genre.

Yngwie Malmsteen is one of rock's premiere virtuoso guitarists. Along with Steve Vai, Joe Satriani, Eddie Van Halen, and a handful of others, Yngwie has dominated the world of solo guitar for two decades. When he was barely 20, Yngwie exploded onto the music scene with his jaw-dropping technique of lightning fast harmonic minor scalar riffing. His 1984 album, "Yngwie J. Malmsteen's Rising Force," established seemingly overnight the style now referred to a neo-classical melodic rock. A legend in both style and technique, Yngwie's long career reach new heights when his totally classical work for orchestra and solo electric guitar, "Concerto Suite," was released, proving that his classical credentials were genuine. A respected musician among both his peers and his fans, Yngwie continues to play and compose at a level of mastery that many career musician only dream of. "
