  • ?!?!?!?!?!?!?     There is nothing i have ever heard in this !!!!!  this is crap!!!

  • Staff

    More mandatory DLC for Rock Band I AM SO ANGRY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • i think i've heard of about three bands out of that list.  i guess that's more then usual though.

  • 1.) I will care about this more when it releases for the PS3.

    2.) You shouldn't expect to hear from a lot of bands that you already know -- one of the biggest selling points for this new functionality is, in my opinion, the fact that lesser-known bands can get their music out there.

  • Oh!  I SO CALLED IT!!! :-P

    I will be checking this out for certain when I get back online!

  • This list contains a limited number of bands that I've heard of, and there's only one that I kinda like.

  • I only recognize five of those artists. I guess it's pretty neat.

  • So does this mean that I win the "Obscure Band Award"?  I know thirteen on the list up there X-D

  • I guess the odds of actually getting something decent like AC/DC or Led Zeppelin were pretty slim, as were the odds of me purchasing any of these songs.

  • A new a few of the bands listed.  Not my favorite music but I like it.  Normally, I wouldn't buy the song for rockband then, since there are other songs I would prolly like more, but I feel like I would rather buy one of these songs so as to throw in my support for a few of these underground bands ^_^

  • Oh yea, any news on when these become available on PS3?

  • still patiently waiting on anything by Clutch

  • I only heard of Zack Wilson out of all the artists on this list. :(

  • Yay I know like 5 of these bands

  • 6 of these bands are already in Rock Band, so I find it hard to believe some of you don't recognize any of them.  2 of the songs were also in GHI.

  • Gandhi sings?

  • I've seen Skindred live, and they weren't bad. There are a few other groups I know, but I can't say there's a lot here that personally interests me.

  • These are just the launch tracks, here is a link to a post in ScoreHero with all of the confirmed tracks:

    rockband.scorehero.com/.../viewtopic.php

  • I guess this is a good way for the not-so-popular bands to be known out there.

  • OMG this is too much SONGS!
