It confirms Free Fallin' by Tom Petty. I just want to know how many songs there are in the game. Will it be 45 or so like the Beatles or 85 or so to make up for the lack of a Rock Band 3 this year? I'm leaning more towards the former but hoping for the latter.

Most of The Beatles' songs are boring.

I mean, they are catchy and what not. Great to listen to but uh,
to play in a video game? Doesn't sound too exciting.

You haven't been listening to the right songs then. ;D

So I've decided to research The Beatles a bit more and listen to more of their songs.

Yes, I've fallen in love completely in every way possible.

I'M SORRY GUITAR HERO HAS WON.


DUELING BANJOS WAS JUST RELEASED.

Won what?

** Dates for Rock Band game tracks are tentative and subject to change. **

Anyway this week seems to be a great week with everyone else, but it's really disappointing with me. My favorite Billy Idol song, Dancing With Myself, was not included with the rest of the Idol tracks; Don't Stop pretty much just shot down the possibility of a full "Rumours" album release; I don't care much for Jet; and Tom Petty is one of the artists I was least excited for (amoungst The Raconteurs, Elton John, and KoRn).

The only thing I can do to stay positive about this situation is hope for Dancing With Myself on Lego Rock Band. :P

Killer Queen was in Guitar Hero...1. Just to let you know

I was mainly referring to Harmonix's efforts Rock Band and onward anyway, but good to know.

Uh oh, Rebel Yell. Another Guitar Hero song.

Rebel Yell is one of the few songs on the Guitar Hero World Tour disk that are't on Rock Band 2 that are actually fun (on drums at least; haven't played it on any other instrument).

I can't believe I'm saying this, but I'm hoping Misery Business is on Lego Rock Band. It fits with the kid-friendly demographic (I think?) and its fantastic to drum.

Also, I don't want to pay for it as DLC, that's why I said Lego.

Rebel Yell is literally the second most boring song on World Tour.


The first is easily Eye of the tiger.

---

I even like Spiderwebs and Santeria more than rebel yell ugh ):

Spiderwebs is fun in World Tour. Are you talking about drums?

i remember rebel yell being boring on drums (i play on hard), but i havent played it since my brother managed to rip the wire so my yellow cymbal doesnt work...

but on guitar it is worse than playing bass on alot of songs.

Rebel Yell is 10x more fun in Rock Band than in Guitar Hero. On drums at least; I'm not sure about guitar.

Cus Rockband tabs things out better

Just sayin
