Depeche Mode On Rock Band 3?

You bet your sweet ass! From depechemode.com:

"Three classic Depeche Mode songs are coming soon as downloadable content for Rock Band 3. 'Personal Jesus,' 'Never Let Me Down Again,' and 'Policy of Truth' will be released on March 8th as DLC (downloadable content) on XBox 360, Wii, and Playstation 3. 'Personal Jesus' will include Pro Guitar and Pro Bass parts."

So get cracking! If you visit the Rock Band website, you can watch a trailer clip featuring each of the three songs (check out the bleached-blonde avatar of Dave Gahan sporting the kitty-cat T-shirt!). Having played Rock Band a few times in the past, I'm particularly thrilled about the possibilities of "Personal Jesus" on the game. Imagine, cranking out that grungy guitar intro. Those drums would be a bit on the challenging side as well, don't you think? Though I wonder if one would get extra credit points for bellowing out the occasional "Yeah!" in between verses whilst spinning the microphone stand and pretending to be playing in front of thousands of fans at a stadium. 


Seeing as I cannot embed the trailer video mentioned above, I thought I'd share with you kids the next best thing involving Depeche Mode and a video game. From 2006, when The Sims 2 came out, here is Dave, Martin, and Andy performing "Suffer Well" from their 2005 album Playing the Angel. Of course, as in all things Sims, it's sung in that peculiar tongue known as "Simlish." Very silly, but very cool as well. Cheers – and while you're at it, how about stating in the comment section a Depeche Mode song you'd like to see feature in Rock Band at a later date?
