Rock Band DLC For Week of 10-9-2012
It’s going to be a beautiful time for Rock Band fans, as next week they are transported to the eighties with a trio of tracks from both Billy Squier A Flock of Seagulls. You would have to be living under some special kind of rock if you haven’t heard of the classic 80s hits “I Ran (So Far Away)”, “Everybody Wants You”, and “The Stroke”, but for the latter I always am reminded of the classic Adam Sandler movie Billy Madison when Billy returns to high school:
It goes without saying that next week will be a great week for the Rock Band DLC library. O’ Doyle rules!
