[Der_Lex]

Hey gang,

If you've been keeping up with the Harmonix Podcast you already knew that next week we're getting some kick ass Pantera DLC! Here's a link to the podcast page so you can catch up on past episodes and subscribe on iTunes so you don't miss out on future scoops!

Joining the classic Pantera tracks is Peter Frampton's legendary "Do You Feel Like We Do" from Frampton Comes Alive. Here's what renowned rock critic Wayne Campbell had to say about the album: "Everybody in the world has Frampton Comes Alive. If you lived in the suburbs you were issued it. It came in the mail with samples of "Tide".

Pay close attention to the release date for this DLC, as content is scheduled to release on Thursday May 19th, rather than the traditional Tuesday launch date. We have some server migration scheduled next week, so you should expect to see this batch of DLC on the 19th.

Do you feel like we do, and can't you wait to pick up that awesome Frampton track? Or would you rather take a walk with Pantera? or maybe you'd like 5 minutes alone with both?

No desire for any of this.

[kingtonyx]

Cool deal, probably will buy all of this eventually.

[Lord_Mhoram]

Just the Frampton for me. Never really liked Pantera.

[Ultrace]

Don't know any of these by name, though I expect I'll know Frampton when I hear it. Does that make his song the longest song yet in the game--not quite when you take into consideration stuff from the ACDC Track pack. Hm.

No surprise it doesn't have pro guitar charted since the return on investment there would probably never come above the red line.

[solidsnakejt]

what???

no pro upgrade for Frampton? why?

[Herr_Bass]

I desire for the PSN to return so I can feel the Peter Frampton.

I was so excited to have Pantera for my birthday (5/17), but turns out i have to wait 2 extra days to get it And also i have to wait another 6 years for my birthday to fall on DLC day AGAIN.

Oh well still very happy with this DLC. Going to get most all the Pantera

[dog037]

God dammit! I was looking forward to buying Do You Feel Like We Do until I found out it was a live version. Now there’s now way I’m buying that POS. Burn in hell Harmonix.

[weirdphil]

I'm buying it all. Must buy. Been waiting for Walk for a long time. Thanks, HMX!

Every decade there's one album that everybody owns. Frampton Comes Alive, Meatloaf's Bat Out of Hell, and Metallica's self-titled 'black album'. Hopefully we'll get more Frampton in the future, as well as more Meatloaf and Metallica.
