Rush 3-pack coming to Rock Band DLC next week
Earlier this week the Rock Band news site RockBandaide.com posted a rumor that Rush's 2112 would soon be coming to Rock Band DLC. It looks like that rumor was partially true in light of the news that the Rock Band website announced this morning the release of a Rush 3-pack for Rock Band DLC which will include The Spirit of Radio, Fly By Night and Caravan. They also hinted at more Rush releases for the near future, so 2112 may still be on the docket for a forthcoming release. The pack will release next Tuesday, December 13th. From the Rock Band website:
Three tracks from Canadian rockers Rush are set to hit the Rock Band Music Store on December 13th! "Fly By Night," from 1975's album of the same name kicks off the pack, followed by a live cut of Rush's "The Spirit of the Radio," one of The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's "500 Songs That Shaped Rock and Roll." The pack is rounded out by "Caravan," which was released as a single earlier this year. These three tracks are just the tip of the iceberg for Rush fans; we'll have even more exciting Rush/Rock Band news before the year's out, so stay tuned!
Rush's 2112 was the centerpiece of last year's Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock and several other Rush tracks have been made available for both Rock Band and Guitar Hero games over the past few years. Thanks to USB Connector for the heads up.

My body is ready.
Sorry, "I Sting the Body Electric"
Speaking of games, the iPod Touch app Pocket God's new episode is titled "I Sing the Body Electric". A reference to Whitman instead of the p/g song, but I still thought it was funny. :)
"The Spirit of the Radio"?
What the hell is that?
"These three tracks are just the tip of the iceberg for Rush fans; we'll have even more exciting Rush/Rock Band news before the year's out, so stay tuned!"
Oh! That sounds really good! Hopefully another whole album (Moving Pictures is already there) or, dare I dream, Rock Band: Rush...
I'm a big Rock Band fan, bought the Ion Rocker drums just to play, and last week I finally got Tom Sawyer thru without failing with Expert Pro drums :)
Insanely fun with a group of friends.
Absolutely, I didn't know about Rush until GH2 which had YYZ. In Rock Band there was Tom Sawyer. When I played it I said "NO WAY! These are the same guys who did YYZ!!!!" and that's when I became a Rush fan.
You bet brindle, as someone who's been around the Rock Band and Guitar Hero communities, tons of people are at the very least happy about the drum tracks!
does having rush on these type of games help them gain any new fans ????
