Rockband Gets A Healthy Dose of David Bowie

November 27, 2007 in News comments 7

A new Rock Band track pack is available for purchase at the XBox Live Marketplace ... David Bowie Pack 01. It features the songs Queen Bitch, Heroes, and Moonage Daydreams. Fans of the legendary singer will not be disappointed...

Bowie is good. This is a universal fact. Singing, of course, but also acting (Labyrinth, The Prestige), and lending his creative influence, voice, and likeness to video games (Omikron: The Nomad Soul). While the Bowie pack for Rock Band, available today via Xbox Live Marketplace, might not contain my personal favourite Bowie tunes, it is Bowie and that's good enough for me. Well, technically it's Bowie. Two of the three songs in the 440 point pack - Queen Bitch and Heroes - are cover versions (or Fauxie, if you will), you do get David's original recording of Moonage Daydream, and if you are really particular you can pick and choose your songs at 160 points a pop. The pack isn't available on PSN yet, but I can't imagine it will remain unavailable for much longer. Oh, and just in case I forgot to mention it: Bowie.

      You've never heard of him?

      Not particularly fond of his songs to be honest, never seen his films either. They keep saying       "Bowie" like the "Matt Damon" quote from Team America.

      David Bowie = One of the most innovative and influential artists in pop/rock. Great way to show off the vocal features in Rock Band.

      He was in Omikron: The Nomad Soul too! He composed the soundtrack for the game. I remember playing the demo way back in 1999.

    This fails for not having "I'm Afraid of Americans."
