The Gaslight Anthem on Rock Band Network



SlyOneDummy | Jan 29, 2010
If you ever wondered what it would be like to jam the ‘59 Sound with The Gaslight Anthem your in luck ! The bands first 2 singles “The ‘59 Sound” and “Old White Lincoln” will soon be available for download in the Rock Band Network. We are currently play testing the first two tracks in the Creators newtwork and will be releasing them for download on your Xbox 360 in early March.

So anyone with Rock band 1 or 2 would be able to download them as DLC?

Epic.

Fuuuuuuuuuck yes. Awesome.

Great, now all I need is a PS3! (or 2, for that matter)

Ok, for the stupid, what does this mean (i don't want to have to research this Rock Band business myself)?

And do I list it as a release on my website?

It's a game...available on the PS3, wii xbox 360.

They release new downloadable content for the game every week for a price so you can play along with the songs/sing to them etc. with instruments made for the console/game.

This I guess, means you'll be able to download a few Gaslight songs and play along with them...which will be epic since I bought Rock Band just a couple of weeks ago.

This makes my autographed GUITAR HERO controller even more obscure!

Can I use a guitar hero controller on Rock Band?

Pretty much everything is compatible. If you have it on ps3 or 360 anyway. Just best to make sure with the link above.

Only a few cases in which they aren't compatible.

Who's it autographed by anyway?

One by The Gaslight Anthem and the other by Against Me!

Nice...How'd you get them signed?

What console you got rock band/getting it on, if it's 360 then they should all work fine.

EDIT - Guessing 360 from the gutars...?

actually I didn't own Guitar Hero at all when I got those signed... one is for the xbox the other is for the PS3... sadly, I own a Wii. But because I work such insane hours (when I am in cycle, I spend 9 days at work and get 1 day off) that I haven't played it in months!

I got them signed because I am obsessed with music (3 bands in particular TGA, AM! and Rancid) but I can not play any instruments (unless you count the recorder, but I haven't jammed on that since 3rd grade) so I asked them to sign these since I can use them rather than just a guitar that I would never play.

In an odd coincidence did you notice that both bass players (Andrew and Alex) signed the guitar saying that they love me? ...awkward.

as for getting them signed, all I did was ask.

First my wife and I were visiting the Netherlands and went to see AM! We were hanging out with Andrew (bass player from AM!) after the show just drinking some scotch and beer (we got pretty drunk) and I asked him... oddly enough he told me that night that the Guitar Hero people had asked to use an AM! song and they said told them no.

The TGA one I got in Nurenberg, we were just all bullshitting back stage and I asked if it would be cool if I went back to my car to grab the controller and they all laughed and said ok.



(my wife insists that I mention that she was 6 months pregnant at the time!)

But is it just for Xbox360 or PS3 as well? I'm seriously thinking of buying rock band just for this but I've got a PS3.

It'll be both.

All songs are available to download on all networks, I can hardly see Gaslight being the only band to be 360 exclusive.

Those pictures are awesome as well Scott...I was just wondering whether you took the guitars to the show, getting them from the car makes sense, would have been an odd item to take into a gig during the show.

These tracks are for Rock Band Network, a new initiative which will be launching in the coming weeks. Bands/labels create (or outsource the creation of) their own RB tracks which are then submitted for peer review and eventually sale on the Rock Band Network. This will allow for an almost limitless amount of DLC.

However, all songs will be on the 360 first and select songs will be made available at a later date for PS3 and wii. My guess is the Gaslight songs would be, but you never know.

Bottom line, if you don't own Rock Band, and you want to buy it for these Gaslight songs, buy a 360

scott, that is pretty funny.
especially how they both wrote LOVE YOU haha. maybe it has to do with the kilt.

When I saw this on Side One's site, I nearly lost it. I've been hoping forever that they would put some Gaslight stuff on RB. Can't wait to play Old White Lincoln and do vocals (which I surely will mess up) haha. Oh and e7c, what a rad picture of you with Gaslight buddy.

Haha, this is just awesome! Rock Band's a part of many parties at my house. Maybe this'll help make more TGA converts!

How did I miss this news? I'd been hoping they'd get official DLC at some point, but I guess this isn't too bad. Hopefully will draw in even more fans.

Only problem is it would probably cost over $300 to get a compatible console and the game. Not like I have a whole lot of time for rock band either. But still pretty freakin awesome.

The Rock
Band music catalog is about to get a lot bigger. We’ve made our
professional authoring tools available to bands, studios and record
labels everywhere, and musicians everywhere are busy turning their best
material into Rock Band gameplay. For music fans, this means more
content from bands of all shapes and sizes is on its way to a console*
near you!

* For the Xbox 360 Select songs may also appear on PS3

Direct from the Rock Band website, perhaps it will just be 360 exclusive then.

<----worried ps3 owner

Basically the Rock Band network lets bands author their own songs, using the XNA on the Xbox 360. So the most popular songs will most likely be ported over to the PS3, and by Rock Band 3, ps3 users should get everything.
Anyways I'd expect Gaslight Anthem to be popular, so we should get the tracks on the ps3

NO WAY!
I posted on the Rock Band forum and recommended these songs (along with a few others ). I doubt my post had any influence but this made my night!

Is there a specific copy of Rock Band you need in order to buy these songs, or is any version compatible (given it's on the 360)?

I haven't played rock band in years. haha

but it's rad that they're on there.
