Had I not gotten Blitz, I probably would have gotten "Give It Away" and "Always".

[jeronemitchell]

Hmmm... an R&B/Soul/Funk song on RBN? Color me intrigued...

[TkDiamonD]

Sweet! Give it away pro guitar, and more Chad Smith! :-D

[Quaszar]

I have to laugh, the ONLY song I liked/wanted from blitz was "Shout" TFF and it will be the last song released to the Wii players....

[FujiSkunk]

I've Blitzed through these already, but I'll still get the "Give It Away" pro update.

There's no chance you might... give it away, is there?

This is the part of the Rock Band train ride where the engineer has applied the brakes, we hear the screeching, and the cars are beginning to decelerate as the train pulls into the station.

Please return your seats to the upright position, and gather your belongings. We're almost there.

[Munnchy]

Appears that leak that happened was for two weeks from now.... Oh...

Might just have to get the pro upgrade for give it away and see how it is

[grumblevolcano]

Nice, I predicted this week correctly from my post in WAYDRN. Great to see that Wii users will finally be able to play Blood Sugar Sex Magik in completion on RB3 from Tuesday. Also, I'm looking forward to the pro guitar upgrade. Overall, we know now that the final Blitz singles week will be:

Tears For Fears - "Shout"
Shinedown - "Diamond Eyes (Boom-Lay Boom-Lay Boom)"
Kool and the Gang - "Jungle Boogie" (X)

From twitter, it seems we've got 1 pack and 2 singles weeks left excluding the final Blitz week (the Rock Band twitter stated most of the remaining weeks will be singles). I honestly can't wait to find out what other awesome stuff we've got ahead of us in terms of RB DLC as well as the RBN scene.
