Not at all. I'm gunning for something about any band getting back together.

Souther said:So this time around if your playing by yourself you have the option of using a setlist? I can choose like 5-10 songs i want and they will play seamlessly 1 after another?

Godammit Harmonix, don't let me down. You have a Dream Theater song on there.
XShagrath said:- New drum kit looks fucking amazing! Pads are not straight across anymore. The red and green pad are lower and off to the side. There are also three cymbals, and the kick pedal looks like the high-hat pedal I've seen sold on eBay. the new set does not look friendly for lefty-players, but hopefully things can be reconfigured fairly easily. (EDIT: The cymbal expansion is an additional purchase, and has a crash, ride, and high-hat). (EDIT 2: This is all the ION kit)

XShagrath said:New article in the newest Game Informer has a lot of the same information we've heard over the last couple weeks, but also a couple new things and explanations of others.
- The mic on the guitar is for calibrating. Hold the guitar up to your speaker on the calibration screen and it will auto calibrate.
- Custom setlists can be as big or as small as you like.
- You can set up a custom setlist and just have it run in the background (like a music video). No charts, just the band playing the songs.
- Drum trainer has 78 patterns to help people learn better rhythm and technique.
- Confirmed list is expanded.
Avenged Sevenfold - Almost Easy
Billy Idol - White Wedding, Pt. 1
Bon Jovi - Livin' on a Prayer
Cheap Trick - Hello There
Dream Theater - Panic Attack
Elvis Costello - Pump it Up
Foo Fighters - Everlong

- Expansion slots on the drums to make them compatible with other games (cross-compatibility!!)
- Limited edition real Fenders that have been gutted and refixed with RB hardware will be available.
- They're teamed up with ION and will release an even better drumkit. You can unplug the game controller from the ION kit and plug in a "drum brain" and turn the kit into an electronic drum kit.
FUCK!! I WANT IT!
I have no idea why that sticks out to me as the most awesome thing on that list of stuff, because the other info is really badass.XShagrath said:- You can set up a custom setlist and just have it run in the background (like a music video). No charts, just the band playing the songs.

Does the article specify x-compat or are you assuming? Because I'd really like to be able to play GHWT without buying more drums.XShagrath said:- Expansion slots on the drums to make them compatible with other games (cross-compatibility!!)

Ten-Song said:Now that RATM is finally in, I will now be praying that more shows up as DLC (Sleep Now in the Fire would be so rad).
It definitely will be. If the regular one is $80 on its own, then this will probably be closer to $150-200 or more, especially since you can buy an additional part to turn it into a true electronic kit.Defcon said:The premium drum kit looks insane. I hope it's no more than $100.
Duck said:So, those songs listed in GameInformer essentially confirmed the leaked email as legit.
BenjaminBirdie said:All of Battle of Los Angeles needs to be there. Sleep Now In The Fire, of course, because it has the greatest fucking solo man has ever fucking conceived.

Who cares about Freezepop when you're getting a song from Chinese Democracy?Charron said:Likely, which is a small disappointment for its seeming omissions. I mean, what's a Harmonix game without Freezepop?

I love the whole set up a playlist and just let it run in the background. That kind of almost adds even more value to the DLC. You can use Rock Band as your music visualizer. Like, honestly, I'm kind of excited to watch a band play Doolittle. I might actually sit down and watch that whole thing.
I'm sure it will be much more than $100Defcon said:The premium drum kit looks insane. I hope it's no more than $100.

Prototype ION set
Does the set look like the one above? There is some difference for sure based on the positional description of the snare.
