For all of you Rock Band enthusiasts out there, some news has traveled down the pipe courtesy of Entertainment Weekly, confirming several new albums for download in the game. We're not going to waste any time leading up to the juicy info, so catch it below:

Foo Fighters -- "The Colour and the Shape"
Red Hot Chili Peppers -- "Blood Sugar Sex Magik"
Jane's Addiction -- "Nothing's Shocking"
Megadeth -- "Peace Sells... But Who's Buying"
Stevie Ray Vaughn -- "Texas Flood"

Of course, we're still not 100% certain that the Wii version of the game will support all of the features the other console versions will. Regardless, we're very much Megadeth fans, so seeing them get their work featured in the game is great (and it's one of their best albums, at that). After the break, we've embedded our favorite track from that album, so jump past and enjoy.

Rock Band 2 vs. Guitar Hero: World Tour. For other systems, it's an arms race for the most features. For us, it's a battle to remove the fewest. For Australian Wii owners, the winner will be the game that actually gets released!
