Bowie Rock Band Tracks Available via Xbox Live
As previously reported, this week's additions bring three more David Bowie tracks to the game. Of them, "Moonage Daydream" is a master track performed by the man himself, whereas "Queen Bitch" and "Heroes" are covers.
"Moonage Daydream" hails from Bowie's beloved "Ziggy Stardust" album, as does "Suffragette City," which one of the 58 songs included with the game. Many are hopeful that the full album may one day be playable in Rock Band a la the upcoming release of The Who's "Who's Next".
Each song sells individually for 160 Microsoft Points ($2), with the three-song bundle offering a slight savings at 440 Microsoft Points ($5.50). The tracks are expected to be available to owners of the PlayStation 3 version later this week, but will not be an option for those than pick up the PS2 edition--slated to release December 18--due to the system's lack of substantial storage capacity.
For a glimpse of what's coming in the next few weeks, check out the announced DLC schedule.

replyGood to see the stuff trickling in. I like how the audience sings along if you're doing really well, but i'm assuming that's out the window when it comes to the downloads. Probably will only pick up the master track.

I think the audience does that for the DLC too. No reason not to, I mean, you're already downloading a crapload of other audio files. I'll check later tonight!

I figured they'd probably had one large recording session with a group of people to get it in the game. I didn't think they'd go through the trouble for each released track. But maybe it's all the dev nerds cheering on.

Or they could just take the vocal track and run a bunch of filters on it. I don't know much about anything in that area, though. I don't see why they'd go through all the trouble of animating every song and NOT include that; it's definitely my favorite little thing in the game.
I'll probably just buy Heroes from this pack, maybe Moonage Daydream. I hadn't heard Moonage Daydream or Queen Bitch before ten minutes ago, and neither really melted my face.-
Precisely. Slapping a filter on the vocal track would be trivial and cheaper than recording separate audience tracks for each song (in terms of both system resources and money).

Thats one of my favorite things in the game. The first time I noticed it was cool as hell.
