  • Needs some new blink in there. Like "Natives" or "Heart's All Gone". But still, an interesting track list so far. And it uses older Rock Band game DLC too, right?
  • Not bad setlist. Some mix on genre is great for music games, and not only metal, pop, rock etc.
  • Can be the first time a good Elton John song is on RB, loved that song when i saw the music video way way way back
  • Cult of Personality! Nice.
  • Wicker Man? Ok I have to get this now. If the songs are exportable.
  • It's about time we got Cult of Personality. Hope it's the original and not the re-record...
  • @6 I'm guessing it's the re-record. Usually when music games use an alternate recording it's because they couldn't find the master copy of the original. In both instances of Guitar Hero (III and Smash Hits) they used a re-record so I wouldn't hold my breath.
  • Just like Frequency or Amplitude games :D
  • Finally some Barenaked Ladies! Day one buy for me.
  • I am so very excited for this game! Love the Tears for Fears, Collective Soul, and Living Colour reveals. I am not familiar with most of the rest of the tracks, but that also means there isn't anything I don't actively dislike yet!
  • Tears for Fears, Living Colour, Elton John and Maiden. Wow, just wow. Cannot wait to play this.
  • Heck yeah, So excited for some of these tracks, especially Diamond Eyes!!!
  • Looks kinda neat.
  • @ #3 Crocodile Rock in Lego Rock Band, Saturday Night's Alright For Fighting in RB3
  • @ #14 Those might be from before #3's time. I remember hearing the ones you listed as I was growing up.
  • @5 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/news/news-11352-Rock-Band-Blitz-Coming-To-XBLA-From-Harmonix.html It states in this article that all the songs will be playable in Rock Band 3.
  • Oh god this list is getting ridonculously good.
  • Well I won't get getting this. Elton John? Fallout Boy? Why use such horrid music...way to ruin the series.
  • @18 i think you mean horrid when they put iron maiden pink and great white was put on there
  • @19: No, Elton John is pure trash music. So is Fallout Boy, especially since it's trashy emo music. Iron Maiden is ok, but not good at all. The rest is trash. They've ruined this game for me.
  • @20: Do you just hate all rock music? You don't like any of the bands mentioned thus far, so you must just be a straight-up hater. To call Elton John trash is fucking blasphemy.
  • Meh, i only see one band i like out of this list, so i won't be buying this.
  • "BANG YOUR HEAD!! Metal health to drive you mad!" i think it's like that xD
  • How does it play though? With the standard controller? with the guitar peripheral? Drums? A set combo?
  • @20 If you don't like it, just don't buy it. No need to be all sour grapes and ruin it for everyone else. As for me, I'm excited for RBB and to use these songs with my friends in RB3! Especially looking forward to One Week, Always,I'm Still Standing, A Little Less Sixteen Candles, Cult of Personality, Raise Your Glass, Metal Health, Jessie's Girl, & Shout.
  • Id just like a release date
  • I love this setlist so far but if they Announce Muse, Some Ska, The Aquabats! or St. Vincent(I Doubt it though) I would literally poop my pants for a week straight. But of all those bands I want the one that is most likely to be put in blitz is Muse. Hopefully
  • Not bad but for the love of god why is Pink in the same setlist with iron maiden? That Shouldve been selective dlc in my opinion.
