There's a New Pornographers track :D
Wooo! My favourite Foo Fighters song (my favourite after Monkey Wrench) , and awesome picks for Metallica (agreed) , The Strokes and Bon Jovi! And Queens of the Stone Age are back. Man there's some good songs in there.
Jesus - they've also announced that they will have full albums of playable tracks available as DLC - Who's Next by The Who is the first up which means Baba O'Riley will be playable! Awesome song, great album. Can't wait for this game now.
Gunners - Welcome to the Jungle (I heard the track in a little 30 second demo of the game) - hmm - just did a bit more investigating and while it's a track they use in prototypes and such, it isn't actually confirmed for the actual game
Does anyone remember how I said that the guitar hero controller should have a second set of frets at the base of the neck for solos cos it would be awesome? Well it looks like the developers thought the same thing :)
"Drums are apparently insane. You use actual sticks and hit one of four colored pads in front of you, in addition to a kick pedal attached to the drumming unit. Drummers will also have the ability to do fills etc. in their own little free-form section, do well and you'll trigger the drummers version of star power."
"If you play drums in this game on hard or expert, then you're really playing the drums. Apparently you could sit down at a real set and play the same songs."
Fucking Sold.

There are some player/screens here that auron cough somebody missed: http://kotaku.com/gaming/gallery/rock-band-screens-267939.php
I think the bloom is a bot of an overkill, imo. Enough nay-saying. Heh, those screens are so last week. :P Anyway, who really gives a crap about the background visuals in these games?
Well, what about some pics of your next kit? Where are they? Oh wait, i found them.
