I'm pre-ordering the keyboard bundle tomorrow. :rock2:

The Pro Mode details have also convinced me to finally order that 3rd cymbal for my Ion kit.

I'm just hoping they finally include better options for managing your library. Please give us the ability to hide songs we don't like, especially on the PS3 where we have to import every song from the other discs. Go ahead and make us play them on the tour - after all, that's the challenge, but in quickplay, let us hide songs we won't want to play again.

I think this might be close to what you're looking for, sort of:


Revamped song-filtering system. With the Rock Band library expected to grow to about 2,000 songs by year's end, it has grown too big for simply scrolling. With the new system, "you can say, 'only show me songs in Rock Band 3' or 'only songs under three minutes' or 'Eighties metal songs from my (downloadable) collection,' " Teasdale says. "It's a really cool way to take your full library down to a manageable list of songs."

Yeah, that's it! I was also hoping to be able to set up a random themed playlist. It has just gotten too big to scroll through one list.

Very happy with the tracklist thus far. Some really awesome stuff on there already. Awesome choice for Them Crooked Vultures!


Seriously I need some goddamn Muse with this keyboard inclusion. I mean REALLY seriously.

Harmonix is bringing so much to the table with this one. It really makes "Guitar Hero: Pig Monsters" seem even more pathetic by comparison. ;)

Yeah, random setlists with specific groupings of songs would be great. I also want the ability to save and share setlists.


Overall, things are sounding amazing, as I expected. I have a feeling I'll be adding another fake instrument to my collection.

Looking forward to learning more about Drums Pro mode, hopefully it doesn't cost too much to get my Ion kit setup for it.

2000s
Combat Baby -- Metric
Dead End Friends -- Them Crooked Vultures
Get Free -- The Vines
Lasso -- Phoenix
Me Enamora -- Juanes
Oh My God -- Ida Maria
Portions of Foxes -- Rilo Kiley
The Hardest Button to Button -- The White Stripes
:confused:

I'm at that out of touch for not knowing a single one of these songs? The other decades look pretty spectacular. I know it's a partial list, but damn that 90's group is still lacking in a big way. Two artists that are already in RB? Come on Harmonix.

Oh, and I guess that exclusive contract Clapton, DMB & Kid Rock signed with Power Gig will be expiring sooner than we thought. :lol:

Rainbow in the Dark...fuck...yes...

So any details on how the pro-mode will work for drums? God I hope it involves no longer charting open hi-hat notes to the blue pad...that annoys the shit out of me.

Yeah, that 2000's list blows ass. But the classic stuff announced so far is pretty awesome, so that makes up for it. A lot of the newer bands I like have been getting covered through RBN anyway, so it isn't a big deal to me.

Sounds pretty awesome, and it should work with the Ion kit right out of the box (as long as you have another cymbal).

It's actually really fun. You are playing up on the high hat or down on the snare, and it feels more like a kit than ever before."

Umm, they just haven't announced Natal support yet, not that there won't be any. I think its extremely likely there will be some sort of Natal integration. Microsoft is probably paying developers or giving them engineering resources to add Natal features to big name titles. I'm sure Microsoft wants to save any Natal announcements for their E3 presentation.

maybe in pro-mode, that's how they tell cymbals from the pads, so you're using all 7 with 4 columns
