Another week, more MS Point out of my account as Harmonix is bringing six of Soundgarden’s greatest songs into the Rock Band fold next week in celebration of the band’s 2011 tour.  I have been hoping for more Soundgarden tracks since Rock band 2, and it looks like we will get a pick two from each of their albums Badmotorfinger, Superunknown and Down on the Upside.  We will also get a legacy upgrade to “Pretty Noose”, which was DLC way back in 2008.  Pricing will be the standard $0.99/80 MS Pts/100 Wii for eligible Pro Guitar/Pro Bass upgrades, $1.99/160 MS Pts/200 Wii Pts per song and $9.99/800 MS Pts/1000 Wii Pts for “Celebrating Soundgarden On Tour 2011” pack.

The full 6-Pack DLC:
Soundgarden – “Blow Up the Outside World”
Soundgarden – “Burden in My Hand”X
Soundgarden – “Fell on Black Days”
Soundgarden – “Outshined”X
Soundgarden – “Rusty Cage”
Soundgarden – “The Day I Tried to Live”X
Soundgarden – “Pretty Noose”  (Eligible for Pro Guitar upgrade on July 19th)

Tracks marked with “X” will include Pro Guitar and Pro Bass expansions for $0.99 per song.
