"Hey gang,

Next week's DLC features two rock legends who couldn't be less alike. We've got a Roy Orbison 3 pack to celebrate The Big O's 75th birthday and 2 live singles from KISS, including "Rock and Roll All Nite" with a sweet Pro Guitar upgrade!

The live KISS tracks were both recorded during their 1975 'Dressed to Kill Tour', the same tour that ended up forming the epic 'Alive!' album. The versions we're releasing have actually never been officially released on any album, making this an awesome chance to hear two classic KISS tracks from their definitive live tour!

Roy's songs are the 80's versions from In Dreams: The Greatest Hits, similar to most of his previously released RB tracks.

Enjoy!

Available on Xbox 360, Wii and PlayStation®3 system (April 26):

• Roy Orbison – “Blue Bayou”
• Roy Orbison – “Dream Baby (How Long Must I Dream)”
• Roy Orbison – “Only the Lonely (Know the Way I Feel)” X
• KISS – “Rock and Roll All Nite (Live)” X
• KISS – “Strutter (Live)”

(All tracks are original master recordings)
(These tracks will be available in Europe on PlayStation®3 system April 27)

These tracks will be available for purchase as “Roy Orbison: 75th Birthday Pack” as well as individual tracks on Xbox 360, PlayStation®3 system and Wii. Tracks marked with “X” will include Pro Guitar and Pro Bass expansions for $0.99 per song.

All from the official Rock Band boards.

So the Roy Orbison rumor was in fact correct, but Kiss is pretty nice if you ask me.  What do you think?  Okay, good, or bad week?

Oooh, Strutter. Might pick that up, and the Orbison tracks as well.

Roy Orbinson > Kiss

Definitely in for the Orbison tracks. I'd want to hear the KISS tracks first, as sometimes the live stuff doesn't come out as well. Hoping they sound alright enough to warrant a purchase.

Also for anyone interested, the HMX podcast is all about DLC discussion this week. Check it out :D

Just watched the playthrough vids:

Unfortunately, Rock and Roll All Nite's vocals sound like garbage.
