Reading between the lines it sounds like they're having more difficulty on the PS3 than the 360 in incorporating the DLC from RB1. Rather than delaying the release, they're releasing the 360 version first in order to beat GH4 into the stores.

Wow, I'm stunned. I didn't expect this until after the GHWT release. Things just got a lot more interesting.

I'm pretty sure that is the problem as well. But that's just my opinion.

If they decide to not make the PS3 DLC compatible because it is too much work, I won't be held accountable for my actions because of insanity.

DLC: http://kotaku.com/397427/rock-band-2-announced

The good news for those who already own Rock Band is that all the songs you've purchases so far will be playable and supported in Rock Band 2. As far as Harmonix is concerned, there's no difference between "Rock Band 1 DLC" and "Rock Band 2 DLC" — we're just releasing awesome songs every week onto the Rock Band platform, all of which are playable by the Rock Band titles that support DLC," says Teasdale. The sequel will offer folks a new way to play the DLC they currently own, however.

:

Even if it's edited, it's 100% kickass that they included the live cut of "My Generation" from Live at Leeds along with the two other live tracks. That's been one of my biggest wishes since Rock Band released - more live music.

Definitely getting the whole thing. Hopefully this will be uber-popular and force Daltrey and Townshend to return to the vault and give us more tracks from Who's Next ("Water," "Naked Eye," Bargain," etc) and more cuts from Quadrophenia like "5:15" and "The Real Me."

Re: It's Official, The Who DLC for Rock Band

The only Who song I care about is "the eminence front" which is easily one of the greatest songs of all time.

My favorites are Who Are You, Behind Blue Eyes, and one that was sadly left out, Bargain.

Lookin good, I'm glad GH:WT isn't the only place to play Everlong :

Re: Rock Band 2

If that is Panic Attack by Dream Theater, I am going to PASS OUT.

Re: Rock Band 2

Give it Away, Everlong, Ace of Spades and Anyway You Want It should be amazing.

Re: Rock Band 2

Give it Away, Everlong, Ace of Spades and Anyway You Want It should be amazing.

In particular, Give it Away should be a great, great bass song, which is under represented a little bit. Plus, I sing the hell out of Chili Peppers and STP, haha! So I'll take a double disc from each of those bands.
