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.

This week had a nine-track “Going Country” pack of various country music artists, including Reba McEntire, Sugarland, Lady Antebellum, and Keith Urban (just to name a few). The most recent country music pack released prior to this was back in early February. Also included, but subsequently pulled due to the appearance of an unexplainable vocal bug, was the RBN Megamix. The track is down right now, but according to HMXHenry on the forums, once the error has been corrected, the RBN Megamix track will again be available for free.

Check out playthrough videos of the country tracks below from SplyncRB and Nonzz3ro. Definitely check out and subscribe to their YouTube channels! Links to purchase DLC songs online at Xbox.com are included below for each track. All tracks are 160 MSP ($1.99), or grab the “Going Country Pack 04“ for 1200 MSP ($14.99).

Waaaaaay back in February of 2009, Harmonix made an announcement that Snoop Dogg would be coming as DLC to Rock Band. Fans of Rock Band and Snoop Dogg alike were pining for any additional details on when the date may happen that DLC from one Calvin Broadus would hit the game. Nearly 19 months later with a severe dearth of Snoop Dogg DLC, it appears the day may nearly be upon us.

Special thanks to Christian who sent me a heads up that according to a banner ad allegedly appearing on MTV sister station Palladia, an 8-song DLC pack from Snoop Dogg will be arriving as DLC on 9/7. No word yet on what those songs may be, but as soon as we find out, you know where to look!

No official word yet for Harmonix, so we’ll have to keep in the rumor category until we hear otherwise, but I’m definitely psyched if this is true!

UPDATE: Microsoft’s Xbox guru, Major Nelson, confirmed this morning the existence of the 8-pack Snoop Dogg DLC… fo’ shizzle.

[Thanks Christian!]

With next week’s DLC comes the final day of August, along with the Penny Arcade Expo (PAX) at the end of next week, it looks like the unofficial end to summer has arrived. Let’s see if we can keep that heat going with some country tracks rumored back a few weeks ago.

• Dierks Bentley – What Was I Thinkin’
• Eric Church – Hell on the Heart
• Jamey Johnson – Women
• Josh Turner – Would You Go With Me*
• Keith Urban – Days Go By*
• Lady Antebellum – Lookin’ For a Good Time
• Laura Bell Bundy – Rebound
• Reba McEntire – Fancy*
• Sugarland – It Happens*

* Denotes Family Friendly track compatible with LEGO Rock Band.

The “Going Country 04 Pack” is available for 1200 MSP or $14.99.

This week’s Throwback Thursday DLC track is one from a band that was expected to be the second coming of Led Zeppelin, and to many it was, but they didn’t last very long, as the original lineup fell apart in late 2008. Their first big hit was “Woman,” which actually landed them a Grammy for Best Hard Rock Performance in 2007. The song was featured in SIX different video games, including Guitar Hero 2. While this may have been their breakout hit, it isn’t the song I think of when I hear Wolfmother. That song is “Joker & the Thief,” which happens to be this week’s Throwback Thursday DLC pick.

Similar to previous Throwback Thursday songs, this is not the artist’s most recognizable song, but that doesn’t mean it’s not one of their best. There’s nothing apologetic about this song, as it starts like a rollercoaster with a guitar riff that builds tension as it rises in the beginning, and rocks you all over the places at it hits peaks and valleys over the course of the song. As you could guess, the song title is a reference to Bob Dylan’s “All Along the Watchtower.” The song has been featured in the movies Jackass 2, Shoot ‘Em Up, Shrek the Third, and most notably and recently, The Hangover.

In addition to being featured as DLC for Rock Band, it also appears in one of the Karaoke Revolution games and Rock Revolution. Nearly every instrument on this song is a stand out, and a decent challenge for the average player. The guitar is listed at a difficulty of a 5, but there are some very challenging sections in it (including the long trail of HO/PO’s in the beginning)  that will cause some to fail out!

The song can be purchased in the Rock Band 2 music store, or online at Xbox.com, for 160 MSP ($1.99).
