Harmonix is just the developer, MTV makes the decisions about release dates and EA handles the distribution. Harmonix just isn't in the position to make any promises about the release dates.

Peace Sells, followed by I Ain't Superstitious

Breaking the Girl

Actually, Gene Trautmann did the drums on Go With the Flow.

Both have automatic HOPO placement, but RB2 also supports manually placed ones.

Going for points, alone: sitting

I'm looking forward to songs I like, don't actively dislike or haven't heard. Here's everything else:

"Almost Easy" Avenged Sevenfold
"Cool for Cats" Squeeze
"Down with the Sickness" Disturbed...

Lady In Black by Uriah Heep would be great (packed with Easy Livin' and Bird of Prey, please).

It's IGN, so I won't consider it confirmed just yet.

Ignus and the Flames. Ignus is a character from Planescape:Torment (he's perpetually burning, hence the rest of the name)
