[Rock Block] August 21st
Hey, it pays the bills, ok?
Published: August 21, 2009
With all these fancy pants music games offering new songs almost every week, we figured we'd come up with a quick, easy (and lazy) way to consolidate all the news of what you'll find on the PlayStation Store and in the games' own stores (if they have 'em) each and every Thursday. Handy? Yeah, we know, but that's just the way we roll.
Bear in mind that this includes both the obvious titles like the various Rock Bands and Guitar Heroes out there, but can also include straight karaoke affairs Sony's own SingStar titles or the Karaoke Revolution games too, not to mention stuff from other publishers that fit neatly into this category. No, there won't always be stuff for those other games, but at the very least, the tidal wave of DLC can be easily managed right here. Bear in mind that in many of the bigger games, the DLC will work for both the newest and previous entries into the series, so just because you don't have the latest and greatest versions, we'll still be able to keep you up to date.
Yes, we love you too.

Yep, that's if for Guitar Hero WT this week... another week, another single track. Guess they are focusing everything on GH5.... and gues what... here is some MORE random Guitar Hero 5 news!
Five live downloadable tracks from the 1969 concert by The Rolling Stones will be digitally released for Guitar Hero® 5 to coincide with ABKCO’s 40th Anniversary Deluxe Box Set release of “GET YER YA-YA’S OUT!”. Launching on September 3, The Rolling Stones Live Track Pack also available as single downloads, will feature the blues-infused song “Prodigal Son (Live),” the acoustic track “You Gotta Move (Live),” as well as “Under My Thumb (Live),” “I’m Free (Live)” and the classic rock anthem “(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction (Live).” Two days after Guitar Hero 5 hits store shelves on September 1, Stones fans will be able to get their “Satisfaction” from the world’s greatest rock and roll band.
