Rock out to the full setlist listed below.
Rock Band has done it again. This time they are bringing the melodies of Mötley Crüe, Buckcherry,Sixx:A.M. and System of a Down. All great rock bands, with some wicked lyrics and killer fret work. In the press release for the new DLC, RocK Band announced that
teamed up with Crüe Fest for the length of the tour mobilizing fans and players to participate in the Rock Band Second Stage Experience.

As if the mere thought of another Rock Band so soon wasn't shock enough for you. How about the ability to have all the DLC added to your game as well as music from the original disc. This will push the set list for the game to an all time high, especially since Rock Band 2 will already have over 100 songs from an Unrivaled Blend of Classic, Developing and New Artists. This is big news for Harmonix and will definitely keep people happy since a lot of content was put on DLC for the first game. Also DLC will keep on flowing onto the market since they will be ported over to the next installment anyway, so don't expect them to slow down for one second on the albums and packs released on a weekly basis.
Rock band 2 will also have an Upgraded World Tour, Battle of the Bands, Set Challenges and Drum Trainer which you should have know would have been added but the biggest addition is the ability to Compete Against Other Bands Online. This of course is a great inclusion to the franchise since last time around you could only play with others online, not compete head to head. I for one am truly excited to get a group of friends together to take on another set of people and rock their faces off.

Free Top Gun Download, Kenny Loggins Not Included - This Friday is the 4th of July, so while you'll be busy enjoying some BBQ and running around with sparklers trying to spell out your name, try and make sure you find some time for a free "Guitar Hero III" download. The Top Gun Anthem, a guitar instrumental used throughout the movie, will be available on July 3rd for you and Goose to rock out to. Who knows, maybe you'll impress a flight instructor.
In Rock Band DLC news The Who 12 Pack, full of classic Who tracks, will be released July 15. Individual songs such as Baba O'Reilly and Behind Blue Eyes can be bought for 160MS points ($1.99) or you can buy the complete set for 1600 points ($19.99). I've always thought the price for downloads were a little steep (I only pay $.99 on iTunes), but with the news that gamers will be able to use their downloadable purchases on Rock Band 2 you'll probably get your money's worth. Read on for more details.
