That's all you got? Come on, you're better then that.

Much like 2112 when it leaked, took them a while but they finally confirmed it. Then again, Spinning Wheel was shown to be on disc yet that never came to fruition. Moral of the story, just have to wait and see.

Spinning Wheel was part of a presentation we were never meant to see--it was leaked by accident during an Italian video game conference (who knew they had those?) and was intended for trades people only, much in the same way the original Rock Band video had Welcome to the Jungle in it.

Wasn't DLC?

The game launched in October 2008 with the Old Time Rock and Roll campaign there from the beginning. The song became DLC in late February 2009. So they advertised a game using a song that wouldn't be available for four months after the game came out.

i think it's safe to say that if OBTS doesn't show up as DLC in the next month or so, it's probably a Blitz song. i doubt they'd have a song ready and available on their xbox more than a month ahead of release.

I suspect some dev boxes have had The Band - "The Weight (Live)" on them for the better part of a year.

If licensing falls through, items on dev boxes might never see public sale.

Spinning Wheel was still in the same boat as Once Bitten Twice Shy, leaked without any verification as to what type of release it is. If it doesn't come to materialize we can add it to those who fell through like The Outlaws, The Band, etc. All we can do is wait and see what happens. For the record, RB never had Welcome to the Jumgle on it. It was a beta build to show off how the game would look and play.

Sucker Punch had When the Levee Breaks as a theme to the commercial, yet I never heard it in the film. The Rolling Stones are always heard in movies, but never on the soundtrack. There wasn't a campaign, it was a commercial. Wouldn't be like announcing Snoop coming to the game only to hold true 2 years later, only to lose a song afterwards. That isn't uncommon, just first time it happened in a rhythm game.

That still falls under the category I'm putting Spinning Wheel under--"songs shown in videos not meant to be seen at large." I was addressing that, rather than anything to do with OBTS.

There was a campaign, in that there were multiple commercials riffing on Risky Business, backed by celebrities, singing (well, lip-synching) and supposedly playing on their plastic instruments, to that song, as Guitar Hero footage plays on a television they're looking at, advertising a game in which you can do what they're doing--just not to the song for which they're doing all that in the commercial, at least not without waiting four months from launch and then purchasing it for two bucks. That's got to be disingenuous, at least.

Same thing happened with Guitar Hero 3.

The commercial had a Velvet Revolver song playing, but the song didn't show up until DLC later on down the road.

Glad to see we agree then with OBTS now, thought you were pulling a lowlander.

Noble sums it up, they can do what they want. Sucks to lead you on, but eh. Much like why Taylor swift was in the commercials prior to her release in band hero, or her dlc.

As long as I can play it on my Game Gear I'll be happy.
