Yup, those will work for Rock Band 2 automatically.

Just one of the reasons i hate the music industry and refuse to buy music or games like these. If you bought the original rock band you already paid for one license for all those songs. Now you have to pay another $5 for licenses you already own and you dont even get all of them?

F the music industry. greedy bastards.

You're not paying for the license again, but for the convenience of not having to change discs to play the Rock Band 1 songs ... but you are right about the music industry.

You are also paying so Harmonix doesn't get completely shafted by folks who don't actually own Rock Band using the export tool with a rented / borrowed disc.

"Just one of the reasons i... ...refuse to buy... ...games like these."

I can only assume you don't have Rock Band, and would gladly have utilized this tool with your rented copy for free.

Well, Paranoid and Run to the Hills were covers and not the original masters, so I'm not sure why those are being held up. But then again they were covers, so I'm not too broken up if they go away.

55 is "a little light"???

I wasn't expecting "Train Kept a Rollin'" either; maybe Aerosmith didn't own the license to this particular cover recording? I dunno, I'm guessing.

@a ham sandwich: This just copies the songs on the RB1 disc to the hard drive, so that they're available when the RB2 disc is in the drive. Since your DLC songs are already on the hard drive, there's nothing that needs to be done for RB2 to see them.

In other words, yep, they'll "transfer over" automatically.

Aerosmith didn't write this song, but covered it themselves. Therefore, the rights to the song weren't Aerosmith's.

Good old Yardbirds and Jimmy Page. Then it was the first song Led Zeppelin ever played together. They said it was instant band.

that's a bit upsettings since I really love Paranoid and Enter Sandman.
oh well, better than nothing that's for sure. Considering GH 1, 2, 3 didn't have transferable songs.

Yep, as long as your version isn't on the disc. If it's DLC, you're good.

1. Does this put everything into a Rockband 2 folder on my 360 harddrive so I can delete my Rockband 1 save after the transfer?

This is some lazy reporting here, Dustin. Where is the link to the actual announcement, and the list of 55 songs? All you're providing is a link to a joystick.com page, which doesn't link to the official announcement or the list either! Come on!

Lazy reporting? No, lazy reader. There are 58 songs included on the disc. Justin mentioned 3 songs not included. 58-3 equals, wait for it... 55!
