We've reached out to our Audio Team to make sure we do an extra pass on DLC announcements to make sure that those details don't slip through the cracks. Sorry for the confusion.

This pleases me.

I know big_old_tom loves them, so I'm happy for him.
Oh and Rocksmith song... GET! :p

I'm not a big fan of them, but I'll see when I listen to them later today.

THE BLACK KEYS KILLED THE FORUMS

Reaction

Wow! It's something I'll actually be buying. After all, this is basically classic rock.

I was not particularly howlin' for this, but that's okay. Soon I'll have a nice chunk of new songs when Blitz comes out.

So you guys aren't actually releasing any songs this week?

I kid. Sort of.

Ugh
