Woo. All good songs.

Rock the Casbah!

Rock the Casbah!

Rock The Casbah!

Hard to dislike Rock the Casbah! The Blink songs are fine, though I think RB has released every song I wanted from that band.

[jjdude1]

Everyone knew Blink182 was coming.

Rock the Casbah is really exciting though

[Plutarch]

Nice predicting skills by the forum in regard to Blink 182. That said, I'm not a huge fan so I will probably skip it.

But Rock the Casbah is NICE. I was surprised that didn't turn up on the RB3 disc, to be honest. Finally some quality keys!

Oh, and Doc, we need an explanation for those wacky number clues.

[Croq]

Awesome, been waiting for Rock the Casbah for a while! And more Blink-182 is always welcome. Thanks HMX!!!

[JohnWaffles]

One guy, who comes to almost every Rock Band party I have, always asks if "Rock the Casbah" is available yet, and I always have to tell him no, so this is pretty awesome. Might pick up Stay Together For the Kids also.

[MooTrain]

The Clash and Blink 182 are both well known for their killer pro-keyboard riffs. I for one am super excited about this announcement.
