Taking Back Sunday, as well as six songs each from pop legend Roy Orbison and
shock rock legend Alice Cooper.

Blending heavy metal, vaudeville,
horror movies and garage rock, Alice Cooper lays claim to multiple platinum
albums and chart-topping hits, as well as unforgettable theatrical stage
performances. “Under My Wheels (live),” “I’m Eighteen (live),” “Billion Dollar
Babies (live)” and “School’s Out (live),” all from Cooper’s 1995 live album,
Classicks, will be made available, as will “Poison,” the lead single from 1989’s
Trash and “Vengeance is Mine,” from his latest offering, Along Came a Spider
(2008).

Rock and Roll Hall of Famer and
Grammy Award-winner Roy Orbison offers up six classic tracks to the Wii Rock
Band Music Store this week. “Claudette,” from 1965’s There Is Only One Roy
Orbison; “In Dreams,” from the 1963 album of the same name; the 1963 single
“Mean Woman Blues,” “Oh, Pretty Woman,” from 1965’s album Orbisongs; “Ooby Dooby,”
from 1961’s Roy Orbison at the Rock House; and “You Got It,” from 1989’s Mystery
Girl.

These tracks come from the back
catalog of Rock Band music already released to owners of Xbox 360 and
PLAYSTATION 3 system. Wii fans can expect a rollout of previously released
downloadable Rock Band content until the entire back catalog of more than 690
songs is available. With the addition of these tracks, there are now more than
