Rock Band Blitz – Rumors and Facts

[ClaptonsWig]

don't they always know before us?

With a press release, yes.

[DemonUnicorns]

don't they always know before us?

I would think only if Henry posted it in the hidden section of the Blitz section. But I wouldn't think that happened for this...

Elton John's worst song? And of all the DLC artists this year to get Blitz offerings, not Sum 41 or Hall & Oates, but Shinedown and P!nk? Fallout Boy?

Shine, One Week and Shout are very welcome additions, however.

I wouldn't call I'm Still Standing his worst song. Based on billboard chart history, I'm Still Standing peaked at position 12, the same position as Saturday Night's Alright for Fighting. Border Song peaked at 92 and stayed on the chart for five weeks, so I'd call that his worst song.

And I agree with shine, one week and shout. Very welcome additions indeed.

All-American Rejects - Kids In the Street
Barenaked Ladies - One Week
Blink-182 - Always
Collective Soul - Shine
Elton John - I'm Still Standing
Fall Out Boy - A Little Less Sixteen Candles
Foster the People - Pumped Up Kicks

I'm excited for One Week, Shine, Pumped Up Kicks, Once Bitten Twice Shy, Wicker Man, Cult of Personality, Bang Your Head, Jessie's Girl, Diamond Eyes (DON'T JUDGE!), and Shout.

Overall, I've got plenty to look forward to so far.

Yay. Not as keen on some of the more recent stuff, but the 80's and 90s stuff is great.

Glad to finally get Cult of Personality. A little more partial to "Rock Me" than "Once Bitten", but oh well.

Hopefully more "missing" songs are coming. (Who can it be Now, more Eddie Money, etc.)

Hoping we'll finally get another Counting Crows in there too.

Very surprised to see Wicker Man over Wrathchild

but Wicker Man is a GREAT SONG ANYWAY so I can't be mad

[Dangimarocker]

Wow i love the elton, barenaked, living colour, maiden, and fall out boy picks.
Listening to others as i go.. not a big fan of that All american rejects song.. too odd lol.

Not bad - I'd likely buy One Week, I'm Still Standing, Pumped up Kicks & Shout if they were out on their own as DLC, plus a few others depending on charting, so it's shaping up on being a pretty decent setlist as I'm assuming that HMX are keeping at least a couple of big songs up their sleeves, sneaky people that they are ^^

[geo2n2]

Nailed it I'd buy three songs from the announced setlist so far as regular DLC. That's not enough to get me to buy the game unless the remaining, what, 8 songs are all straight from my dreams.

Let's see what the price is. That's like $6 already for 3 songs. Even if there's only a few you like, don't forget there's a game in there too. To me, even if I liked only three, paying as reasonable amount more for a game I can use to mess around with using my current DLC is no-brainer. What if it's $15? That like 9 extra bucks to throw HMX's way to help support a genre you enjoy. I say buy them darn game at least to help show support for HMX and the music genre . That's nothing compared to the years of enjoyment HMX provided my with Rock Band.

I'm digging some of the songs. "Cult of Personality" is a great song by itself, but now it takes on a bigger purpose since it is C.M. Punk's theme song. Also love "Shout," probably my favorite Tears for Fears song. I'm a little disappointed that the "Diamond Eyes" that's in the game isn't by Deftones.
