But if you must know what the future DLC will be, here's a sneak peek at what we're doing in the coming year:
* Big bands
* Small bands
* Packs
* Singles
* Albums
etc, etc, etc.

'Eh, something to give this thread some life. I'll play along and say:Elvis Presley
I was thinking the other day that it is quite odd that out of the year they've been doing DLC, not to mention two full games, I haven't seen a single person suggest Dave Matthews Band for DLC. I'm not a fan, it just struck me as odd.

Wild theory time:
"In addition, you’ll get to preview new tracks from an…unnamed mega artist one day before the public release."
Prince?

I know I've thought it before, maybe not said, but it would be huge for the party vibe of the thing. Every chick I know that went to college in the 90s is a fan. I've seen more "fire dancer" stickers and tattoos than I care to count.

I'd anticipate that it might be a GDC announcement. This is in San Fran in March.

Maybe they're all too busy playing hacky sack and frisbee golf.

It would be a terrible Rock Band song, but I love The Dreaming Tree. Tears me up every time.

So either it pales in comparison, it over-shadows PJ, or it is a one-two punch that knocks the fans on their collective ass.

Well that would also make sense then, as they said they'd be able to play tracks early that have already been announced. That's really only the PJ tracks as of now right?

Yeah, I guess so. So either you get to play the PJ tracks on the 23rd of March or there's a separate SF event with a surprise "mega artist".
Going with the GDC+PJ theory now

The tease makes it sound like there will be a big artist announcement in addition to Pearl Jam. I don't think their mega artist announcement would be Pearl Jam since we already know about that.

It reads to me more like the recipient of that invite misinterpreted the quote he posted.
Actually, he does say "this time around we get to play with some tracks that will be made available soon that has already been announced to the public" and then later starts talking about an announcement based on the word "artist" as opposed to "band". So he's the source of confusion entirely.

Yeah, it's phrased a little weird, but I read it as:
"Come to our event and play previously announced DLC (Pearl Jam) as well as some MEGA SUPER SURPRISE stuff that will be announced the week before the event."
GDC sounds like a reasonable guess to me.

Clearly the Super Mega Artist in question has to be Hootie & the Blowfish.
On second thought, let's get realistic, there's no way Harmonix could book them. How about U2?

NO Rock Band 3 in 2009...they don't want to compete with the Beatles game...unfortunately for them, Guitar Hero WILL want to compete.

Bad decision, IMHO.

Bah, I'd actually like it if RB3 came out this year. A bunch of songs at a decent price point, plus whatever new features they would've added. I guess maybe it could mean that they spend even more time adding new features for RB3.

But really, what more features (not fixes like the stars) could we want? It's nice to get a lump of tracks for $60, but other than that I am more than content with RB2.

They'd need to fix the game to make it more a band game, rather than the goodness of GH with some other shit tacked on which is how GH:WT felt to me.

I'm all for no RB3 this year. As a friend of mine said RB is a platform itself, just feed it with DLC. Let GH keep pumping them out, and burn out for all I care.

I'll be at GDC, so I'll let you guys know what/if I hear anything there. I'll be at Teasdale's keynote/session, and be trying my best to get into the HMX party as well.
