Next week’s Rock Band DLC is quite … eclectic? Yeah, let’s go with that. With such variety, there’s sure to be something that people will love — or love to hate, which is typically the case. There’s a track pack from chart-topping band Disturbed, with three songs off its 10th anniversary edition of The Sickness album. Meanwhile, Grammy-nominated band Silversun Pickups also contribute a couple more tracks to the DLC pile.

Last week, the Rock Band Store got a few healthy slices of Americana with tracks from Otis Redding and the Brian Setzer Orchestra. This week’s offerings are much more foreign — there’s a three-pack from Finnish rock band HIM, a song from Britain’s One Night Only, a track from The Police, and a song from Marilyn Manson, whom we all know actually descends from an extinct alien race whose name our human tongues could never hope to pronounce.

EA: Rock Band deal with Viacom only through March 2010

4de48_rockbandlogo2810 EA: Rock Band deal with Viacom only through March 2010If you’re wondering where Rock Band 3 is, a year and a half after Rock Band 2 and five months after the launch of The Beatles: Rock Band, it seems EA isn’t sure it’s going to get to publish it. During an investor conference call, EA execs revealed that the publisher’s deal with Viacom (the company that owns MTV, Harmonix, Rock Band and maybe you as well) is only active through fiscal year 2010 (which ends March 31).

Presumably the deal somehow includes the yet-to-be-released Green Day: Rock Band — but EA’s unlikely to announce any more Rock Band games until it knows it has the license locked down for another year.

Hey, Rock Band aficionados! Are you ready to spend your hard-earned Microsoft Points, Wii Points or good old-fashioned cash money on tracks which you’ll never be able to play without injuring your tender, fragile metacarpals? Brace your bones — the Music Store is about to get a healthy dose of Megadeth, in the form of the outfit’s 1990 album “Rust in Peace.” Or, as it’s more commonly known, “The one with ‘Hangar 18‘ on it.”

The nine-track album will be available for $14.99 (12007942b_microsoftpointslogosmall Rock Band Weekly: Megadeths Rust in Peace, The Who mashed-up, bundle not available on Wii), and can also be purchased piecemeal for $1.99 (1607942b_microsoftpointslogosmall Rock Band Weekly: Megadeths Rust in Peace, The Who mashed-up, 200 Wii Points) per track.

Next week’s Rock Band Weekly update puts country stars on the road again, yup, they just can’t wait to get on the road again. So, this is the part where I confess that I know little to nothing about the artists featured in the next update. Honestly, the closest I get to country is driving in my friend’s pick-up along the forest-filled back roads of Connecticut.

Check out the full pricing and track details for the console releases after the break.

Next week’s Rock Band update is a raucous blend of heavy-hitting tunes, comprised of songs from Motörhead, Blue Oyster Cult and Rage Against the Machine. The metal mayhem, for obvious reasons, won’t be compatible with Lego Rock Band — somehow we just can’t picture Lego people playing “Godzilla” by Blue Oyster Cult without being rocked to pieces.

OK, so next week’s Rock Band DLC doesn’t include “Mary Jane’s Last Dance” (pictured above) — that was included in the previous Tom Petty live anthology pack — but that video is all we can think of when someone mentions Petty. Well, that and the “Don’t Come Around Here No More” video, which had Petty playing The Mad Hatter and is also positively frightening — but that song is in neither pack. Beyond Petty memories of our broken childhood, next week’s update also includes tracks from Phoenix and Silvertide.

Check out pricing and track details for the console releases after the break.

Rock Band Weekly features one act next week: Alice In Chains. The band, which has sold 17 million albums worldwide, released a new album last September after … yikes, fourteen years! (Hey, at least they didn’t go all Duke Nukem Forever, right?) Next week’s DLC track pack includes two songs from the new album, along with “We Die Young” from the band’s debut record, plus two ditties from their self-titled 1995 album.

Check out complete pricing and track details for the console releases after the break.

Paul McCartney, in a non-Beatles outing, rings in the new year for next week’s Rock Band Weekly update. The 67-year-old rocker (good on him!) will have the company of a Blink-182 pack, along with individual tracks from The Psychedelic Furs and The Ramones. Ringo might be in there too, but nobody would notice either way — poor Ringo.

Beverly Hills … that’s where I want to be (gimme, gimme), living in — wait, not really. Next week’s holiday Rock Band Weekly update has some catchiness, but it’s short on cheer. There’s a new track pack from Weezer, featuring two songs from the band’s latest album, Raditude. There’s also songs from Limp Bizkit, The Offspring and Yellowcard.

One last reminder: Rock Band Unplugged DLC is on hiatus until further notice. Check out pricing and track details for the console releases after the break.
