Quantcast



Don't believe everything you read on the Internet -- Harmonix has not officially confirmed the full setlist for Rock Band 3, okay?

Yes, a video leaked online that reportedly showed off a list of unannounced tracks on the game's song selection screen. And yeah, we were basically embargoed to hell and back on personally commenting on it (we decided not to run it), but that's not confirmation that we can confirm that the list is real, either. Because you know, it hasn't been announced yet, right?

The Harmonix crew took some time out from its busy gamescom schedule to make a public statement on the matter, hereby confirming that it hasn't confirmed anything yet. And no, that's not the entire setlist being scrolled through on the screen back there. Because it would be irresponsible for Harmonix to accidentally reveal the setlist before our own embargo is up, and like, it wouldn't do that.

And we wouldn't post the entire alleged Rock Band 3 setlist (via Spawn Kill) after the break, either.

Queen sold me, now there's Lennon, The Beach Boys, David Bowie, Elton John, The Who, The Doors, and Yes. Hell, they even have Devo, Tears for Fears, and Foreigner. I never wanted to play my plastic instruments so badly.

For a game with MAJOR music business connections and 1,800+ songs in DLC to have 25% of their "setlist" coming from past Guitar Hero games (Guitar Hero 3:LoR to Band Hero [not including handhelds]) is really disappointing. I hope this setlist isn't true.

I've gotta admit that this setlist is less than stellar. Also disheartening to see, like someone else previously commented, so many older Guitar Hero songs on this.

That being said, Golden Earring's Radar Love makes this a day one purchase for me. I can't help it; it's my favorite song. Of all time.

In b4 Xzyliac. Also, Rammstein - Du Hast? WTF? Even when I *was* a huge fan, Heirate Mich is their best song(from Herzeleid) period. They should have Klavier(Piano) in here since the whole Keyboard and whatnot. Oh well. I bought GH5 and never played it, I suppose I will do the same with RB3.

Btw @Kingsy

What is wrong with this setlist? Sure there are a few oddballs, but it is a rather good eclectic mix. Harmonix has to appeal to a wide array of music fans (while also picking good songs to showcase the keyboard). That is no easy task. Sure I would have preferred more hard rock and less 80's, but I still think they have a good mix that appeals to a broader audience.

Though, I am disappointed that "Change(In The House Of Flies)" by Deftones isn't on the list. After it was absent from the Deftones pack I just knew it was going to be on disc :-(

Iknorite? Thank God!

I like this setlist. I like it a lot. When there's DLC every week I could care less what's already been in GH. Hell I welcome it. It's not like the on disc setlist is the end all be all.

@Kingsy: Some of us hate the charting on Neversoft games, and are perfectly happy to pretend that they never happened. I don't know what percentage are firmly in one camp or the other (as opposed to your straddling of the franchises), but I certainly don't care at all that some of these songs have been done in earlier GHs, because they're new to me. Plus, as competing franchises, there's almost no incentive for them to avoid one-upping one another by doing the same songs (especially popular songs). Doubleplus, they can only make so many games before they run out of artists and songs that are an easy sell to the less serious music game aficianado, who is actually going to buy the game, not based on its gameplay merits or the overall musical quality of the listing, but based on the names and songs on the back of the box. "Ooooo, I LOVE that song. Let's buy this one!"

I'm probably in the minority (despite definitely being pro-RB), but most of this list is, dare I say, asstastic.

For all you people crying that the there are a lot of guitar hero songs, realize that a lot of those songs on guitar hero were covers and these are by the actual artist

I never even thought of having the Flaming Lips in Rock Band before this... but YES!

Other than Rock Band 1 (and The Beatles: Rock Band..), this is the greatest setlist OF ALL TIME.

They've probably got enough songs licensed to do that. >_>

@Perfidious Sinn:

You underestimate just how lazy Harmonix is. I mean, they keep releasing the same game over and over again and all of these tracks are just ripped from Guitar Hero discs, right!?!? (Jokes, people. I'm here all week; try the veal.)

lenigod: We already have all the Megadeth we need (namely, Peace Sells and Rust). I could maybe go for a six-pack of any leftover killer cuts from other albums, but we definitely don't need any more Megadeth on disc, and we don't need another album.

Unless, of course, you are making a joke about how there are THREE Megadeth songs on-disc for WoR. Which seems more likely.

I'm just saying it is a bummer to me. I play both games and when it comes to DLC, I will admit that I buy repeats from both games if I like the songs. I'm just bummed that these songs will be on disc and I won't have a choice. But eh, can't always have what you want. =/ And I can live with that.

Game still looks stellar and I can't wait for GH:WoR, RB3, DJ:R, DJH2 and PG:RotSS. Music games FTW!

BTW, if I see anyone complaining about GH DLC getting RB repeats anymore, I'm jumping on dat ass. ;)

We're going to have people piss and moan about any "good" songs, I'm sure, but guys...

In case you haven't noticed since it's been going on for several years now, Rock Band and Guitar Hero nearly copy each other note for note on getting certain subsets of songs secured for licensing. If you're seeing songs from GH4/5 in here, well, it's probably because Harmonix licensed the song last year and rather than drop it as shitty charted piano-to-plastic guitar tracks, it's got a keyboard to use now.

Either way, I'm fine with the list. I think GH has set itself up to be a consistently different and more difficult experience set up for those who want to be pestered with all the "innovations" Activision comes up with to stick on a plastic guitar body.

I think a bar has been set for RB3 with keyboards and the addition of the pro-mode capable guitars that uses a fully functional guitar as a controller. That's damn cool if you ask me.

Not that I'd be buying it. I'm happy to stick with my fumbly plastic keys and guitar. :)
