I happened to be present at the unveiling of Rock Revolution at this year's E3, and my partner-in-crime Dale North can attest that we (as usual) shared the same opinion of the upcoming rhythm title: not so impressed. From the Fisher Price look of the drums to the utter failure of the stage demonstration during the Konami press conference, it just kind of looked like a train wreck waiting to happen.
Kotaku posted what may be the full setlist for the upcoming game from an "anonymous tipster" who forwarded an official Konami product availability email over this morning. Check after the jump to see the full song list. I have to admit, there's some great stuff in here, including some good old fashioned metal, which I've been wanting to see for a long time. Unfortunately, the game will feature no master tracks.
I can't say that these songs will convince me to trade in my beloved Rock Band drumkit (or hopes of soon owning the ION Drum Rocker), but I'm sure a lot of people will be more interested in the game after seeing what is in store.
In the meantime, the always-tactful Dtoid staff will continue to lob ideas about the office about the best RR parody name we can come up with. I liked Rock Poopalution best, but I'm guessing it won't sell as well as Jim Sterling's version, Cock Ejaculation.

Also, it's a shame that Konami helped create this genre, yet can't compete with their adversaries any longer. Well, that's how I see it, at least.
Also, this game looks like ass.
DAMNIT TRENT. YOU ARE NOT CONTROLLED BY THE SYSTEM ANYMORE.
LICENSE OUT MORE SONGS DAMNIT.
Oh wait, not Rock Band 2.
Still, no Nine Inch Nails = sadface, extreme in this case, though I give props for End Of A Heartache.
Best part of Resident Evil 2.
"It's not to late, it's never to late" -that three days grace song.
Then I played it at Comic-Con and it sucked ass.
Then I saw Killswitch Engage and Lacuna Coil on the setlist...total fap.
Then I remembered everything is supposed to be covers.
Fuck this fucking fail of a game!
might be sold on buying the game disc-only if it had vocals.
i love me some fall out boy and pantera
WHAT!? Dimebag is turning in his grave!
DIE IN A FIRE, KONAMI.
It's like at school when everyone got rollerblades. Everyone had fun with them, then got sick of them, and put them in a closet. Then 5 months later that nerdy little shit nobody speaks to goes 'hay guys, I got some rolla blades from the 99c store! Lets go shred!". It's just like...no you little fuck, just stop it.
Also:
White Room?
I want that on Rock Band so bad.
Still not enough for me to buy this.
Covers, Konami?
Really?
i have varied musical tastes and impressive vocal range
