Join the Foo Fighters to reach Nirvana
Next week's Rock Band 2 updates feature three tracks to celebrate the 20th anniversary release of Nirvana's debut album "Bleach", which will be re-released; this special edition release includes an previously unreleased live concert recording from 1990.

- Foo Fighters – “Best of You”
- Foo Fighters – “The Pretender”
