by Dan Dormer on Oct 29th 2007 12:28PM

You'd think a company based out of Boston would know that the Pixies' "Wave of Mutilation" is from the '80's.

They have it correct on the site, so it's probably just a typo in the press release...

Ballroom Blitz is a pretty nice surprise.

I've actually grown to hate that damned song. lol I guess I'm the only one.

Anyways...
I'm still waiting for one of these games to have some ACDC already! Come on guys, first one to "Highway to Hell" wins!

It was on the 80's edition of Guitar Hero. It was ok. Not great.

Ah, I haven't played 80's Edition. But I enjoy the song a lot so I'm going to keep an open mind. Plus it will be more than just guitar, so maybe it will be better this time around.

No bob the price ain't right.......Bitch.

You can buy the game for $60. Use the GH2 Xplorer or the GH3 Les Paul for guitar and bass. Get a $20 USB mic, or use your console headset to sing.

If you want to play drums, or need additional guitars, yep, that costs more.

I'll get it next year when you can buy the game and drums...

I have to many other 360 games to get in the next two months

Awesome set list, guess I'll be owning Rock Band as well as Guitar Hero 3 instead of just one or the other.

Or just make friends and split the cost of the bundle.

Run to the fucking Hills?!

That is fucking crazy, I can't wait until this god damn game is finally announced and released for the wii.

Its already been announced.

Yeah, well I don't give a shit, I wanted to leave a comment about the song being in the game, and I'm not gonna dig back through all the old updates to find the first announcement.

are you the reincarnation of benjamin? UP THE IRONS!!!!

Awwww yayeah The New Pornographers!!!!!!!!!

Oh what I would give for just one 311 song in any of these games...
Oh well. Maybe next time.

Like "Down"? :]

Lol, down would be an awesome song to play in Rock Band.

huge 311 fan right here.

Ball...room... Blitz...

YEEEAAAH!

The other tracks are pretty sweet too (except FoB)

I also can't believe there's a New Pornographers track in there.

Maps?! Wow, my fiancée's gonna freak.

Jessie Spano ?!?! you two finally tying the knot?

When I asked, her answer was "I'm SO excited!"

I have to say, this setlist whoops GH3's ass. That's not to say GH3 has a bad setlist, I'm loving the hell out of it right now. But this one just walks all over it in my opinion. It's interesting to see the overlap between the two: Mississippi Queen, Cherub Rock, Sabotage, and When You Were Young are the ones that I can see without looking up the GH3 list.
Also, if I may say, and I know I'm gonna take crap for this, but Foreplay is gonna be fun as hell on drums.

I disagree! I wish I could play "Wave of Mutilation," "Don't Fear the Reaper," and "Sufragette City" on my GH3, but I think GH3 is better as a whole!

Pleasantly surprised by the track list. Looks good to me.

Was kinda hoping for some Damone, Rasmus, Kill Hannah, or Refreshments but not a bad setlist in the slightest.

Can we skip the songs from the 2000's? There's really nothing on there that I'd want to play.

poor baby.

In other news, just got back from playing it at best buy and it was awesome, as usual.

Dude, you played rockband at best buy?

What I still don't understand is why they have Rush, but it's a freaking cover. I mean, the band is still touring, they are pretty popular, so why couldn't they just have them come in and record a master track? I'm not sure how hard it would be, but it would be worth it in my opinion.

no Megadeth in either game?
GH3 wins for the metal crowd.
Will still get RB though.

I'm actually pretty happy that The Killers song got into Rock Band as well because I love that tune. Would love to see some Power Metal in some of these games though like Dragonforce in GH3. New guitar, drumkit, mic and game for $159 bucks for the PS2 version sounds good to me, I can use my GH2 controller for bass.

From what i understand we can't use our old GH2 guitars for rockband. That's a little ridiculous if you ask me

New Pornographers?!?!? Holy Fuck, finally some indie rock in Rock Band. This almost makes up for them choosing the worst song Radiohead ever made.

Those are some freakishly long forearms that singer has.

Tom Sawyer is a COVER!?!?!? Who the hell did they find that can do that voice? My hopes for this game just dropped dramatically.

Hopefully they called up Matt Maiellaro.

The creature thus be born!
The creature thus be formed!

@maxx: Probably the lead singer of Coheed.

Of salesmen!

Yeah I could see Matt doing it. What a freakin bummer though. With everything Harmonix has going for them, you'd think they could have landed more master recordings than this. There's a few other covers that I'm not crazy about, but this one more than any other kills me. I'll still buy it, but now I'll be doing it begrudgingly instead of enthusiastically.

Up the Irons!!

F-F-F-Fall out boy!?! C'mon Harmonix, you could've chosen a better band than that one. =/

I can predict this song will be the "Yes we can" of Rock Band, unless it doesn't suck. If it does, it'll get that title.

That's a friggin amazing list. This is a must buy this holiday... price be damned.

When will it be confirmed that the Guitar Hero 3 wireless guitar will works with Rock Bank ?

Never, because apparently they don't.

Rock Band is my number one game.

It's all I'm asking for for Christmas.

Seriously.

"Metallica "Enter Sandman

OH

FUCK

YES!!

Kick-ass playlist, but DAMN, I wanted Joker & the Thief by Wolfmother.
Honestly, even if it's DLC, Rock Band will be a must-buy for me (in March, EU inside. And thank God for that, I wouldn't have the budget for November).

I wish the game had Muse. Oh well, maybe it'll come later as downloadable content.
