Hm, that's great and all, but most? I wonder what's going to be excluded.
Killer set list, obviously. All the new features sound great, but I guess they couldn't fit "create a song" in.

probably all the masters and none of the covers....or vice versa, or maybe just the ones they could get easy licensing for right away. iuno.
anyways, still looks good, but damn it sucks i gotta wait for a PS3 date. >.< oh well, more time to save for ION

that's a good question. i can't imagine what songs they'd want to exclude or for what reason. maybe the less played/liked songs on the disk and the ones that people probably ask for back at rockband.com's forums are the ones that will return.
Panic at the Disco - Nine in the Afternoon [2000s]-50 respect for certain unless GH:WT pulls something lame in too. Then it'll be 25 to both.I thought this was gonna have Beatles and Zeppelin? Or was that World Tour? Or was that DLC? Bleh.
hey, even with a few select songs that each person will dislike there appears to be plenty to please everyone.

err that song isn't that bad.
and he didn't say there WAS going to be beatles or zeppelin. he just said out of that list that was named there were a few artists that were going to be there. and G4 had an article on THE FEED that said jimmy paige wasn't really up to letting other people handle their master tracks, so no zeppelin in rock band or GH. at least not yet.

Rumors abound that it may be a licensing issue over Train Kept A Rolling due to Aerosmith's GH exclusivity deal.

so would that be the only song that would be missing out of the original set? or better, is that the only RUMORED one to be removed?
