Using the trick I came up with to find some of the Snoop Dogg DLC album art, a number of industrious folk have taken the baton and ran with it, going to work to see what else could be found. Well, the efforts have been fruitful, as below is more album artwork found on RockBand.com that may (or may not) mean there is DLC coming from the particular artist/album combo.

And to be clear, this does NOT confirm future DLC, but it does mean there may be a much higher chance of seeing songs from these albums as DLC at some point in the not-to-distant future.

• Bob Marley & the Wailers – “Legend”
• Bob Marley & the Wailers – “Natty Dread”
• Bob Marley & the Wailers – “Burnin’”
• My Chemical Romance – “The Black Parade”
• My Chemical Romance – “Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge”
• Atreyu – “Congregation of the Damned”
• Buckcherry – “15″
• Dio – “Holy Diver”
• The Doobie Brothers – “The Captain and Me”
• Soundgarden – “Superunknown”
• Underoath – “Define the Great Line”
• Beck – “Guero” (size of the album artwork suggests it is older, probably scrapped, DLC)
• Metallica – “Load” (size of the album artwork suggests it is older, probably scrapped, DLC)
• Metallica – “Master of Puppets” (size of the album artwork suggests it is older, probably scrapped, DLC)
• Metallica – “Reload” (size of the album artwork suggests it is older, probably scrapped, DLC)
• That Handsome Devil – “A City Dressed in Dynamite” (size of the album artwork suggests it is older, probably scrapped, DLC)

If you find anymore, drop ‘em in the comments below, and I’ll update this post.

Even though we’ll be seeing the 8 songs released as DLC from Snoop Dogg in an announcement tomorrow morning, it looks like we can back into the albums coming as DLC, based the album artwork being included over at RockBand.com, DLC songs from Doggystyle (my favorite of his albums) will almost assuredly be appearing as DLC. While this doesn’t disprove the “remixed/reproduced tracks” theory, it doesn’t exactly support it, either. We’ll still have to wait for tomorrow, though.

UPDATE: Orca432 found links to Malice N Wonderland, Ego Trippin’, and Tha Doggfather, as well! Excellent job, sir! And Dave found Rhythm & Gangsta! It continues… Gameguy1546 found Paid Tha Cost to Be Da Boss.

There could be more “hidden album links,” but I only looked for this one. If you find more, drop them in the comments!

I guess it pays to… snoop! Yeaaahahhhhh!

NOTE: I’ve written a new post addressing the additional album artwork everyone has found. Please drop any additional items you may find in the comments of this post.

Wow, did I drop the ball on getting this one out! Since PAX unofficially starts today with the Rock Band 3 party at Jillian’s, I think it’s time I exhaust the videos I had taken from PAX East earlier this year. And I can say with confidence that the final “Getting to Know Your Friends at Harmonix” video segment features some of my favorite people at Harmonix, the self-proclaimed “Gigglebitches:” @thebeststeph, @HMXKatattack, and @HMXThrasher. I didn’t get as much time to hang out with them at the whirlwind that was E3, but they helped make PAX East (my first “con” of any sort) an unforgettable experience for me. If you are going to PAX this weekend, DEFINITELY stop by the Harmonix booth and introduce yourself to them, because they are some especially kick-ass people.

Check out my conversation with them below, but please excuse the craziness in the video. We were all hungover, operating on a few hours of sleep, and literally counting down the minutes until the end of PAX East at this point.

It looks like Rock Band 3 will be bringing Xbox 360 Avatar items with it for purchase. Why? Because they are available on Xbox Live right now! The full list of items available for purchase is below (with links on each price). There are currently no screenshots for the items, but you should be able to deduce what they approximately look like based on your knowledge of in-game Rock Band clothing and Xbox Live Avatar styles. I will update when I get a few good avatar pics (if you have some, send ‘em my way)! See samples above, and animation videos below!

A few weeks ago, we saw a leak of nearly the entire Rock Band 3 setlist (not sure if you heard about that yet). A video was released on YouTube that showed some journalists scrolling through the entire setlist of the game. While most people only remember the setlist portion of the video, there was also some video in it showing a brief glimpse of the Pro-Guitar trainer.

It is very similar to watching the tutorials the first time you tried Guitar Hero, but a little more intimidating this time around. You can see the video below queued up to the section showing the Pro-Guitar portion, and check out the pics above (click for higher-res) of the trainer in action.

MTV Games confirmed the launch of four websites catering to the European Rock Band fan base, in support of the coming release of Rock Band 3, launching October 28th in Germany and October 29th throughout the rest of Europe.

“The Rock Band community is one of the most vibrant in the world, and we’re pleased to give European Rock Band fans a localised place to go for news, forum postings and ecommerce,” said Roy Campbell, VP of MTV Games International. “We’re really looking forward to hearing from the international community, in their own voices.”

For the first time, Rock Band information will be available via localized, country-specific community forums for our fans in the United Kingdom, Germany, France and the Nordic region. Please visit the following sites for localized information on Rock Band 3:

www.RockBand3.co.uk

www.RockBand3.de

www.RockBand3.fr

www.RockBand.se

In addition to Rock Band franchise information and local community forums, the sites also include localized news features and links to an e-commerce store, operated by Mad Catz, where European community members can find Rock Band software, hardware and accessories.
