John Lennon’s “Imagine” Album Coming To Rock Band 3!
In a hugely welcome turn of events, Harmonix have today announced that the classic John Lennon album “Imagine” will be one of the first albums to come to Rock Band 3 as DLC.
Following hot on the footsteps of the announcement that the first DLC for Rock Band 3 will be a multitude of The Doors songs, today we get this fantastic news.
“The songs on John Lennon’s Imagine run the gamut from beautiful piano-driven ballads like ‘Jealous Guy’ to all-out guitar rockers like ‘Gimme Some Truth’,” said Paul DeGooyer, senior vice president of electronic games, music and programming for MTV Networks. “It’s an incredible musical statement, and a real workout on keyboard, guitar and vocals in Rock Band 3. We’re very excited to confirm it as one of the first downloads for our new game, and to help our fans celebrate John’s 70th birthday with its release.”
Fan’s of the phenomenal The Beatles: Rock Band will be over the moon with this news, no doubt. The full tracklisting for “Imagine” is as follows…
- Imagine (On the Rock Band 3 disc already)
- Crippled Inside
- Jealous Guy
- It’s So Hard
- I Don’t Wanna Be A Soldier Mama
- Gimme Some Truth
- Oh My Love
- How Do You Sleep?
- How?
- Oh Yoko!
But theres more good news : “In addition, fans that purchase Rock Band 3 and play online during the first week the game is available (Oct. 26 – Nov. 1) can download a free three-pack of songs from The Doors that feature Pro Guitar and Pro Bass upgrades. The free pack, which is available only through the Rock Band 3 in-game Music Store, includes “Light My Fire,” “Riders on the Storm” and “Touch Me,” and incorporates five-button guitar and bass, Drums, Pro Drums and Keys, Pro Keys and harmonies, where applicable, as well as a free expansion that will add Pro Guitar and Pro Bass parts. A nine-pack of songs from The Doors will also be available for download that week. This includes some of the classic rockers’ most-loved songs, like “Hello, I Love You,” “L.A. Woman,” “Love Her Madly” and “Roadhouse Blues,” all featuring Drums, Pro Drums, five-button guitar and bass parts and, where applicable, harmonies and Keys/Pro Keys parts.”
This will take the number of downloadable songs for the Rock Band series to over 2000, which quite frankly, is rather astounding! There really is something for everyone in this game and these announcements are getting us at GodisaGeek.com frothing at the mouth!
