The Rock Band hype train keeps a rollin’ as Harmonix has released another surprise DLC release in the form of Stephen Colbert’s 80’s rock classic “Charlene (I’m Right Behind You)” from Stephen and the Colberts.
Colbert’s obviously a big fan of the game as not only shown by the release of the song, but also with the recent tapings on the Colbert Report of Rush and Nas playing the game as well. Be sure to check out the video of the song below:

Things have been a little quiet on the RockBandMods.net front lately, and it has nothing to do with a lack of mods or Rock Band news to talk about, just life rearing its ugly head every now and then.
Things are starting to settle down now, so I’m now able to roll out some changes that have been in the planning stages for quite some time now, and just in time for the release of Rock Band 2!
In the meantime, I plan on getting caught up on the various Rock Band updates that have occurred in the last week or two, so keep coming back for those as well as to see what’s coming down the pipeline.
The ION Drum Rocker Premium Drum Set is now available to pre-order from Amazon. Coming in at $299.00 and will be availabe on September 15th, just in time for Rock Band 2!
If the shipping charges from buying direct from Ion have turned you off from ordering this set, then Amazon’s cheap shipping should help quite abit, especially if you’re a Prime member as you get free 2nd day shipping. Read More…
The fine folks at Gameworld Network recently had the opportunity to visit Mtv’s Santa Monica offices for a preview of Rock Band 2.
The article has alot of information that’s been well known for some time now, but there are also new tidbits of information that can be picked up throughout the article, such as how much space the transferred songs from RB1 will take up on your hard drive (Hint: it might be time to start looking for a larger hard drive).
Speaking of Rock Band songs to be transferred, one item in their article that I almost didn’t pick up on right away has to do with what songs can’t be transferred and the reason why - “While not every song from RB1 will transfer over (some due to licensing issues, others because free downloadable master tracks will become available)”. So be on the lookout for some free downloads of songs from RB1 that were covers on the disc, but will now be masters.
Be sure to check out the article at Gameworld Network.
In this weeks Target ad, 1600 point Xbox Live cards are 25% off for the low price of $14.95. This is a good way of saving money on Rock Band DLC songs and savy customers will take adavatange of price match offers at other stores to score an even better deal.
The last time that Target ran this ad, I picked up 4 cards, which was like a “BTGO” (Buy Three Get One), which I’ll probably do again.
Ben Stiller made an appearance on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno and discussed his fascination with Rock Band. He described in detail how he enjoys playing “Enter Sandman” in his underwear with strangers in Russia playing in their undies as well and how it’s best not to play around a mirror.
Hopefully I can get a video uploaded soon as it was a pretty good segment just about the game.
