Rock Band Blitz – Rumors and Facts

[RM-225]

April 10th - Slayer - in Blitz

Uh... where is this coming from? They didn't announce Slayer for Blitz yet.

[broncosfan06]

Ugh what?

oops my mistake, they played them in blitz during the livestream, never mind that

[VolTRH]

The Great White version we are getting is from 1989. So it counts as an 80s song. Just saying.

Whoops. Well, that's what I get for doing a quick Wikipedia and not reading the full page. P:

Decent setlist so far

Amazing:
Shout
Shine
Cult of Personality
Metal Health
I'm Still Standing
Diamond Eyes

Okay:
One Week
Wicker Man
Once Bitten, Twice Shy
A Little Less Sixteen Candles
Jessie's Girl

Bad:
Kids in the Street
Raise your Glass
Always

Horrible:
Pumped up Kicks

A few other notes: Shout is amazing and I'm so glad we are finally getting it, I'm Still Standing is probably the best Elton song for the game because it is fast paced and involved on every instrument (only Elton song I know with a guitar solo), wish Iron Maiden song was Wrathchild but Wicker Man does have a sick album cover, AAR song should have been Stab my Back or Beekeeper's Daughter, Raise Your Glass should have been in the 4 pack with Sober on disc, Thankfully no song beat out Pumped up Kicks for worst song on the disc (a hard feat, but it could happen such as if any Radiohead showed up)

So overall a good announcement

[BohemianMatt]

Well dang, now I just want to play "Cult of Personality" in RB3, forget about Blitz! See if my skills since GH3 have improved at all...

"One Week," "Shine," and "Shout" should be fun too!

[grumblevolcano]

Just a thought about those who are complaining about no Wrathchild. How do you know there isn't 2 Iron Maiden songs in the Blitz setlist (after all the last spinoff game had 2 Queen songs) or that Iron Maiden are doing what Foo Fighters did like 3 years ago and in a couple of months time we'll get another 6 pack more focused with post 80s material and including Wrathchild?

[Dangimarocker]

Name the songs with keys!

[dog037]

Here's the songs that don't have keys.

Quiet Riot – Metal Health (Bang Your Head)
Collective Soul – "Shine"
Iron Maiden – "Wicker Man"
Living Colour – "Cult of Personality"

They confirmed one Maiden song. Let's not get too crazy. I hope your right about them being the new Foo, though!
