Also a bunch of Metallica songs. They plan to go "very deep" with select bands. And will have much more to announce soon.

AMAZING! I can't even imagine how you could top news like this!

the BEST announcement of E3

[ThePaska]

Now I'm excited to see what this "special sauce" is for later tonight, I hope it's on par with what just happened at EA's conference, although that could be hard to stand up to, unless it is some nice gameplay videos from some of the new songs
