Now a part of Rock Band Nickelback


Now a Part of Rock Band Nickelback. Nickelback music will now be available as downloadable content for Xbox 260, Play Station 3 and Wii platforms in the Rock Band Music Store beginning June 29. It's about time, since they are only the world's biggest rock band and fans want to emulate them as video game avatars. I dare you to not bob your head to one of the dozens of Nickelback songs that get played a thousand times a day (it seems) on the radio. Go ahead. I'll wait…Look, told you! The "Nickelback Pack 01" will include a bevy of the Canadian band's hits that span the spectrum of their impressive, multi platinum career, including "Burn It To The Ground" and "This Afternoon," "Photograph," "Rockstar" "Figured You Out" and "Never Again."

Nickelback: Tracks slated for popular game Rock Band


Love it or hate it, Nickelback Canadian rock band is about to make a debut on the popular video game Rock Band.
By Billboard magazine named band of the decade but worst band in the world by readers of U.K.'s Word magazine, the alternative rockers will have six tracks available Tuesday to download and play using Rock Band's complement of plastic instruments.
Harmonix and MTV Games announced Friday the tracks will be available in the Rock Band Music Store on the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and Nintendo Wii.
The Nickelback Pack 01 -- which hints that more track packs will follow -- will include: Burn It to the Ground and This Afternoon from the 2008 album Dark Horse; Photograph and Rockstar from 2005's All the Right Reasons; Figured You Out from the 2003 album The Long Road; and Never Again from 2001's Silver Side Up.
The songs will cost about $2 each or about $10 for all six.
Rock Band and its sequel Rock Band 2 have sold millions of units worldwide since the first game hit stores in 2007.
More than 1,500 songs from 400 artists are available in the game's online music store, and players have downloaded more than 70 million songs.
