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.

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!]

I’m begrudgingly posting this Rock Band 3 Achievement List posted at Xbox360Achievements.org. I’m standing by my statement that this is fake, but everyone else seems to disagree, so I’m posting it so everyone else can review (and hopefully get a few more people to back me up) for themselves. If it turns out I’m wrong, I will humbly apologize.

A few things of note: The total gamerscore is 1,250, with 250 of that coming from achievements requiring specific DLC. 1,000 is still attainable with just the on-disc songs, although some achievements require the new Mustang or Squier Pro-Guitar.

Evidence against:

1. The “spiritual successor to the Bladder of Steel achievement” mentioned by Dan Teasdale at E3 is nowhere to be seen.
2. An achievement specifically referencing “The Perfect Drug” DLC? Why?
3. Kill 53,596 Hammer-ons and pull-ofs achievements? http://yfrog.com/9fk7vp (via @Sorixas)
4. Play a downloaded Queen song? Really?
5. No secret achievements?

Evidence for:

1. It’s on Xbox360Achievements.org

Anyway, on with the list…

Big ups to @HeyRiles for the notification on this one, but according to an admin at Linkin Park fansite LPAssociation.com, we can expect to see some cross promotion with Linkin Park featuring two songs from their forthcoming album release “A Thousand Suns” due out the same day, as well as six other older hits from the band. While this is not a confirmation, it does sound somewhat legit, as the source also notes that songs will be featured in other rhythm games.

Included below is a supposed official pic of Warner’s (WEA) licensing from the site:

Well this was a nice rumor to wake up to this morning. Word from the RockBand.com forums is that the newest copy of the Official Xbox Magazine (September issue with Dead Space 2 on the cover, page 90) is reporting in their rumors section that Rock Band will be seeing Metallica’s “Master of Puppets” album arriving as DLC in the not-to-distant future. It is my understanding that OXM has not been 100% correct on their Rock Band DLC rumors in the past, so lets factor that in to this rumor, as well.

We already have one track off the album, “Battery,” showing up in Rock Band 2. Since then , we’ve seen the release of Guitar Hero’s most critically successful artist-centric game starring Metallica. Before E3, I may have been less inclined to believe this, but Dan Teasdale mentioned to me that bands that have had their own title are not exclusive to the Guitar Hero franchise. Not confirmation, but plausibility, and when it comes to more Metallica in Rock Band, I’ll take it!

While this may be the furthest thing from confirmation, my iPod did play “Master of Puppets” first on shuffle this morning. That’s gotta be worth something, right?

Here’s the full track listing from that album:

1. Battery
2. Master of Puppets
3. The Thing That Should Not Be
4. Welcome Home (Sanitarium)
5. Disposable Heroes
6. Leper Messiah
7. Orion [Instrumental]
8. Damage, Inc.

HUGE rumor, both in terms of validity, as well as potential volume of setlist info. I normally HATE posting rumors where the source is “a friend of a friend told me,” but in this instance, there are a number of HUGE coincidences that have seen the artists confirmed today and elsewhere. Please, take this with a HUGE grain of salt, but here is a partial rumored setlist for Rock Band 3 that was posted on Gamefaqs.com in mid/late June. So with that GIGANTIC disclaimer out of the way, let’s take a look at this Rock Band 3 “friend of a friend” list:

UPDATE: I was able to get in touch with the person who original posted this, and he let me know that not all of these will end up in game, but will instead be available as DLC on launch day. He also claims to have received this from a friend in Canada who had a best friend as a playtester for Rock Band 3.
