I'll be sticking with Guitar Hero surprisingly this time around thanks to inclusion of TOOL. Sorry, Rock Band! :(
Wow, holy crap. I almost decided to go with Rock Band 2 because of the free tracks. Glad I didn't. Well, I'm getting GH:WT for sure.
How do you know these tracks aren't of comparable quality? It sounds like they are the bonus tracks from the other games where it's smaller and lesser known artists. And compared to some of the crappy well known songs on the main list, I rather liked a lot of the bonus tracks back in the GH days. I can't speak for these, but I don't think it's fair to dis them straight off.
The only thing I'm looking forward to is Between the Buried and Me. Who knows what the rest sound like.
I guess I'm disappointed. Those fake lists made me excited for the bonus tracks, but free is free?
Bah!

Crap???? Whaaaaaaaaaaat?! You guys have problems.
I don't know the other bands but just having a Between the Buried and Me song and an X Japan song for free is amazing. And I don't even have Rock Band 2, but now I want it even more.

I knew there wouldnt be any well known bands on this list. They cant charge for the good songs if they give them away. But free is free ill get them
Guys, guys, your forgetting the most part. The point is that technically these songs aren't free, they were going to be included on the disc, Harmonix just didn't have time to get them on there. So, having said that, I expected them to be a bit better. Disappointed Coonskin05 is disappointed.
can't I just have 20 songs of my choice from the DLC?
I probably won't play many of these songs twice.

Just because they're not popular doesn't mean they're not quality. I haven't heard of any of these people, so who knows, maybe they're good?
Alls I'm gonna say is more Shaimus = win.
Not sure if anyone remembers them from the 1st Guitar Hero, but this may refresh your memory.

I don't know a single one of these bands, and I'm a dude known for his eclectic and broad music tastes.
I'm with Coonskin. The free aspect is shoved out there so easily. This was stuff we were gonna get on the disc at one point. There's already a good 10 songs on the disc of stuff I don't care for/never heard of. This is just piling on.
Just as I suspected, a lot of lame bands that no one's ever heard of. I only recognize three band names, and I've only heard the music of one of them. Free is free, but this is bleh.
I've been listening to the songs and some are kinda lame, but for the most part they're pretty good.
I really happened to like Dealership, which as mentioned above, includes Jane Pinckard from 1up.

I can't believe people were seriously expecting big-name bands. Only band I've heard of from that list is Underoath and I don't really like them that much. Oh well, 20 songs is 20 songs.
I only recognize X-Japan, but that song is awesome, all the obsessed otakus are going to download that shit (me included xD)
holy fuck between the buried and me.
awesome choice in band, but I would have sure liked to see something like all bodies or sun of nothing. Prequel to sequel is a fantastic song though...just more BTBAM in general really.
cant wait to see some renditions of the piratey vocals in the middle of the song..thats gunna be great.

Are You Freakin Kidding Me? They said these songs were not ready and that is why they were delayed, What A Joke! This garbage would never have been released on any game you actualy pay for! I Was Really Looking Forward To This And A Bunch Of Unknown Second Class Garbage Is Not What I Was Expecting! Screw You Rock Band 2.... Almost As Big Of A Let Down As That Lame "big Announcement" That Turned Out To Be Nothing More Than Unknown Garbage Songs For Charity....stuff Like This Gives Gh4 A Real Chance To Make Happy Dissapointed Players.....4 Days And Counting Mother Chuckers!!!
Never heard of any of them, but I've downloaded songs from a ton of bands I'd never heard of and I loved them. I'll be cautiously optimistic that I'll like at least half of them.
If I like 10 of the 20, it's a definite win. Any less is a minor disappointment, any more is just awesome.

wow... I thought X Japan would never make it into a music game! (what with the language difference and all). Here's hoping Kurenai and/or Art of Life make it in the future.
@Infinite Obscurity
If someone can find me all these tracks, I'll listen to each one of them. I guarantee you that I will hate a minimum of three-quarters of them. I also guarantee you that at least half of them will be generic, soulless pop crap.
And in case this goes any further, let me nip this in the bud: Yes, I'm an indiefag, and yes, I'm a musical prick. Okay. Moving on. :)

Sharpless, then you may like some of these artists, particularly thenewyou2, The Chevelles and Shamius.
Here is a list of all the songs with links to the songs.

PSH this is 20 tracks that will clog up my list thats already 200 Strong. not even gonna download it.
I don't think it's particularly nice to say they "won't match the quality" just because they aren't mainstream bands.
For the Metal/Progressive/Hardcore fans who haven't heard of Between the Buried and Me:

Prequel to the Sequel isn't on there but you can get a decent sample of their stuff.

Having listened to some of the songs, I am actually very pleased with Harmonix's decision. One of my favorite things about Rock Band is discovering bands both mainstream and unknown that I'd never heard before, and this is certainly accomplishing that.
And it seems to be quality stuff to boot. I haven't listened to everything but everything I've listened to is good.

I've only ever heard of X Japan, Underoath, The Cab, and Thenewno2 (the latter just because of a previous DLC song), so I don't see anything I could quickly identify as possibly awesome, but here's hoping some of them are good. It just means I'll have to learn the songs, then sing them myself a few times with my friends until they become familiar enough with them.
First off, nukka jdav , Sharpless, let's not bring me into this.
Secondly, Between the Buried and Me? Fucking awesome.

ATTN: People who are getting Guitar Hero 4 because of this:
Are you morons? There was enough reason to get RB2 over GH4 before this, and even if you've never heard of these people, it's twenty free songs. Quit your whining.
P.S. Guitar Hero is shit.

WTF? Don't MTV and Harmonix realize that no one likes singing songs they don't know the lyrics to?
Why would they go and pick 20 unknown songs from just as many unknown bands?
Lame As Fuck!

@power-glove
I'll check out the links and get back to you in the comments. I actually own Chevelle's first album, but I'm not really into heavier stuff. My favorite artists are Paul Simon, David Byrne, Bruce Springsteen, and Wilco, if that gives you a clue... :)
@Coldbrand
I, for one, never said exactly that. My problem with them is that I hate the current state of mainstream music. I hate the pop-punk/pop-rock and "hard rock" trash that populates the airwaves. It's all repetitive, unimaginative garbage, and that's what a lot of these games tend to use as filler. And this is filler. Thus...

Is everyone complaining so incredibly dense that they don't understand these are the type of BONUS songs that have been included with every Guitar Hero game and Rock Band. They are included to actually introduce people to cool songs you've never heard of. I haven't heard of a single one of these 20, but I can't wait to try them out, cuz almost all the previous game bonus songs have been awesome.
