Heh. Press Release.

Harmonix and MTV Games Throw Up the Horns and Announce 666 Song Milestone in Rock Band® Music Catalog

This Was Completely Coincidental, and Totally F***ing Awesome

Cambridge, Mass. ? April 29th, 2009 ? Harmonix, the world?s premier music video game development company, MTV Games, and The Dark Lord Satan today announced that after the release of pioneer alternative rock band Jane's Addiction's 'Nothing's Shocking,' the Rock Band music catalog has achieved the most metal of milestones, hitting a grand total of 666 tracks!

?That's a hell of a lot of songs,? stated Alex Rigopulos, President and Co-Founder, Harmonix. ?We owe much of the success of the Rock Band franchise to the Dark Lord. We couldn't have done it without you, buddy!"

"This is a great day for music fans and gamers alike," said Lucifer, Chief Executive Officer and co-founder of Hell. "Since its inception, Rock Band has included some of the darkest and most brutal bands of all time, including Megadeth, Judas Priest, Testament and, of course, my personal favorite, The Naked Brothers Band. Now if they'd just get some Iron Maiden masters, I swear I'd never leave the Pit of Everlasting Torment."

Rock Band continues to satisfy music fans? and gamers' hellacious appetite for rock with more than 40 million paid downloads since its launch on November 20, 2007. The Rock Band Music Store allows players to preview and purchase downloadable individual music tracks and packs from the vast selection of offerings available to date without ever leaving the game as they build their own custom Rock Band library.

Rock Band 2 is now available nationwide and supports all previously downloaded content. The groundbreaking music platform that forever changed the face of music video games is committed to taking gaming to the next level with the evolution of the franchise.

Rock Band and Rock Band 2 are rated "T" for Teen (lyrics, suggestive themes) by the ESRB.

Wow they could have at least chosen a non-shitty band to be this number. Maybe an actual metal band? Man they couldn't have screwed up the 666th song up any worse I think.

Jane's Addiction isn't very metal though 🙁

Devo? The B-52's?
 
Devo's cover of "Working in a Coal Mine" was on the Heavy Metal soundtrack, but yes they aren't metal either.

"Tribute" would have been perfect.

There are a number of free tracks available...

I aware there are free tracks by minor bands, but I'm talking about giving everyone a download for a song that you'd normally have to pay for. I'm no marketing genius, but I think it'd actually be a good promotion to get people who haven't downloaded any tracks to realize how many songs there are available.
