Rock Band 2 bonus registration open, tracks 'in a few weeks'

it'll be Nevermind

I'm looking forward to getting these tracks no matter what they are... I mean who doesn't like free stuff? Great plan on their part too. Get those casuals used to downloading content. I just wonder how many of those casuals know about the registration code stuff to begin with.

Nice, I will do this when I get home. I totally missed this until I read it the other day on the forums. Sweet. 20 free songs. I just hope there are some well known artists.

I've been reserving full judgement on the song list until these come out. My slightly realistic hopes are for some Queen and Freezepop, and my completely unrealistic ones are for The Matches, Pompeii, Death Cab, or some SSTB-era Coheed.

Also, if you haven't heard Pompeii, do yourself a favour and check them out.

I just hope these 20 songs are by bands that people have actually heard of, and not some of the "popular" Harmonix bands. We already got those "bonus" tracks on disk. These 20 tracks should be stuff that everyone will know.

Cream and Bastards Rise by Harvey Danger will be in the track packs, as it was confirmed by Jeff Linn, jlin in the link, on the band's forums.

The way they refer to them as "Bonus Tracks" make it seem that it will be the Harmonix teams bands, the usual ones that appear in the bonus tracks of their disc releases.

Maybe it will have other stuff, maybe the other stuff will be good, and maybe it will actually be main stream stuff, but I would put money on HMX bands.

I would guess that the release will be after Guitar Hero World Tour drops, or even the same week. Since several of those songs on the link were also in GH:WT.

Down here in Oz, we still don't have Rock Band 1.
Tell me, how awesome is it?!?!
Poor Australia :(

Hot Hot Heat - Bandages
Bad Religion - Suffer

Have both been released already. But the rest of the list is possible.

I don't know if that list is accurate or not, but if it is it's a pretty good list as far as free is concerned.

Anyone know if this offer is 360 only or will PS3 get this as well?

3. Static-X - Push It
5. Blink 182 - Dammit
7. Dead Kennedys - Holiday in Cambodia
12. Pennywise - The Western World
14. Sublime - Santeria
18. Queens of the Stone Age - No One Knows
19. The Killers - Somebody Told Me
----------------------------------------------
I would like these 7 for the most part... Pennywise would just be nice because that means HMX actually knows they exist and consider them for RB... Just saddened it isn't a more classic choice, something from Unknown Road, About Time, or Full Circle. Some stuff from From the Ashes would be sweet too.

Still wondering where the hell some of Green Day's Basketcase is... Figured that to be a no brainer since everyone knows half the album and it's an awesome album.

Lists soure os PAX even though pax hadn't happened yet at the time of posting. I call shenanigans.

Just hoping for stuff people know. Its selfish, but people play stuff they know/like at my Rock Band parties and that's really the only point for me.

the free songs will most likely be stuff like bang camaro and mother hips type stuff . i doubt they will give big name band songs for free when they know people will buy those . just please no more skullcrusher mountain crap

RB needs more nightwish. Just about anything off of Once would be good. Ghost love score would be epic.

Why would they offer that Hot Hot Heat song? It's already available for DLC.

As pointed out, 2 of those songs are already out (read; not free)

This makes me believe that list isn't the 20 Free songs, but 20 songs that are eventually going to be available for download in one way or another.


There was another rumored leaked list that seems more realistic (more obscure type bands), and it had DETHKLOK on it (Briefcase Full of Guts to be specific) but I can't find it right now.

I originally thought what all of you guys were thinking with the 20 random songs, I have reason to believe that it won't be that simple. Upon registering my RB2 Code, I noticed that they mentioned the registration is first, then the songs will be released in a few weeks because they want to put the same time into those songs as they did with the on disc songs. Idk about you, but making a pretty good chart takes eh 2 days? Especially if they have been bragging about these 20 songs since the beginning of summer.
After that bamboozlment, I clicked accept and it brought me to another registration page, name address ect with a comment box at the bottom labeled song suggestions. Which leads me to believe these 20 songs haven't been picked yet, they are taking everyones input to either make a very unique 20 song setlist, or everyone gets a certain number of songs + the ones that you recommended to equal 20 songs, since each person has a different code, this can be a possibility. If so, I'm gonna be a happy camper with my Senses Fail, Saosin, and Lostprophets.

I think all six of next week's single track DLC is on that list. So not bonus tracks, but all of those songs will be DLC eventually I guess.

I bought my copy of RB2 used at Game Stop. Am I totally out of luck on getting a redemption code for these 20 songs? (I can't believe I found a used copy already and honestly shoulda just bought a new one because I only got like 6 bucks off the game and no redemption code...)
