Linkin Park - Rebellion
Interpol - All the Rage Back Home
Earth, Wind, and Fire - September
Marilyn Manson - The Mephistopheles of Los Angeles
My Morning Jacket - One Big Holiday
Mastodon - High Road
All That Remains - What If I Was Nothing?
Babymetal - Gimme Chocolate
Rock Band Aide surmises that these are for the Xbox One digital pre-order bundle like the 10 PSN members get. They list 12 so here are the other 2:

Pierce the Veil ft. Kellin Quinn – King for a Day
The Wild Feathers – Backwoods Company

As much as I love "Weird Al", I can't change my pre-order to be this digital one just for that song when I know it'll be available to purchase on its own later.

I forgot that Xbox One digital preorders weren't up yet. I wonder how that'll work since getting the adapters individually seems like such a big question mark. (Maybe that'll be answered today too!)

I'm going to be sad if RBN songs never come over and I lose this gem forever.

The Xbox One adapter is available for preorder at Amazon and only $9.99 if you use promo code RB4ADAPTER.

I placed my order and can confirm its legit.

Wow, thanks for the heads up! Placed my order as well. Where did that code come from, if you can say?

Thanks! Did the same thing. Stupid not to get it for that price even though I pre-orded the full band box! Now even more incentive to fix my old wooden strat.

I saw it on Reddit. Apparently the digital preorder is live in the UK and the marketplace description confirms the 12 songs that leaked today are indeed for digital Xbone preorders and the offer/code is in there too.

I imagine it's only a matter of time before the digital preorder goes live in the US. Like it seems to be ready to go, they just need to flip the switch.

It really closes the gap between the PS4 offering and the Xbone offering. Only a $10 difference and 12 bonus preorder songs vs 10.

Apparently the info came from the Smartglass app (which I can't replicate) via reddit user, harveyglobetrot (according to the RB forums).

Well, I knew I had to eventually get that adapter, even though I'm also in for the Band in the Box. Someone is going to have to bass it up using my old wooden strat until I get new guitar number two.

I'm kind of disappointed Best Buy never had any pre-order bonuses. I couldn't say no to the 20% Gamers Club discount...but it would have been nice to get a few extra songs to go along with it (I'd take free Duran Duran or Alabama Shakes.)

Oh well...I'll buy them when they become available.

I gotta say, I'm starting to get excited about this game. I mean, I have been looking forward to it. But with it just a few weeks away and with gaming sites starting to get their review copies, it's getting real up in here.

There are/were a bunch of songs listed via the console store - looked like a bunch from previous releases (Harmonix/indie bands).

Those are all the 30 bonus songs. Mostly pointless.

Digital Xbox One preorder is live in the US. I'm downloading the game plus the 12 bonus songs now.

And if you're wondering/hoping if Legacy DLC might have been available in the "manage games" tab there's nothing yet available to download beyond the bonus songs.

Since I plan to go digital anyway, and do have some old & crusty guitars I can use (even if I plan to do mostly vocals), that's a no brainer. Thank you

I still can't believe "Weird Al" is finally happening as official DLC!

I am assuming this adapter works with the instruments even if the X1 is in the next room? Like a controller does?

Now I'm torn, I pre-ordered at Best Buy for Xbox One for 63.99 after GCU. If I buy digitally, I get 10 more songs for 59.99 plus $10 for the adapter at Amazon.

Plus you don't have to mess with a disc.

For me its a $6 savings to go digital. Microsoft charges sales tax for me but Amazon doesn't. I actually buy physical copies but even without the savings I was leaning to digital on RB4 already. So between the small price advantage, the digital convenience and the 12 bonus songs it was a no-brainer.

Well I'm keeping my Amazon bundle pre-order, buying digitally, then selling the disc when it arrives.

That's an interesting idea. Do you think there's going to be a market for that given all the hardware restrictions? What are you comfortable settling for?

Hrmmm....interesting idea from me being the cheap bastard I am department. I wonder how many others would do that. I don't care (I would prefer digital but money is money), I'll put in a disc if I can get it at a $10 or even more discount. I wouldn't go cheap bastard on anybody here...but out there in the Ebay etc world....you betcha .

Ten dollars? Try $24.99

I'm not sure if you haven't seen post #433, or if you're having a laugh.

Well, in my (feeble) defense, I was very busy schedule this morning and only had a minute to check VG Talk this morning. Didn't have a chance to check the previous page.

Ordered an adapter now.
