    From Amazon:

    "The Rock Band 3 Wireless Mustang PRO-Guitar Controller is fully compatible with both standard and Pro modes."

    But which of the 102 buttons do you use?

    Any of the ones in the green, red, yellow, blue or orange areas? Pretty much like the Squier?

    Those will (presumably) be paid dlc for everyone else. But actually, could someone post the text of that email? It was saying some about bohemian rhapsody but I deleted it while skimming it

    I MAED A GAM3 W1TH Z0MB1ES 1N IT!!!!1 was just released for RBN and ironically enough, the song costs just as much as the game itself.

    Edit: Also, it appears to be a very long song, the only video of it online so far is like 10 minutes long

    And with that, here are the recent list of songs for RBN officially available in-game since the last time. All songs are a dollar. (Example links included where available. * means it's not an 'in-game' chart. **** means ambient audio.)

    Due to lack of some in-game charts, may be NSFW.
    song title - band name

    [vidurl=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mcKTlRZYxnU]XIV[/vidurl] - Chaotrope (Guitar chart only****) (No vocals song)
    [vidurl=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SIYG-jZCK3I]I Cut Off My Arms[/vidurl] - J.A.C.K. ('One man band' edit)
    I MAED A GAM3 W1TH Z0MB1ES 1N IT !!!1 - James Silva ([vidurl=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ohoTgZ-BK24]Part One[/vidurl]) ([vidurl=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iWHVmprxQM8]Part Two[/vidurl])
    [vidurl=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TB0grQ8DPO4]Howling at Summer[/vidurl] - You Me and Iowa* (Live performance video)
    [vidurl=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iio-a9zNuWk]Spring[/vidurl] - Your Heart (Full-band autoplay)

    Jesus fuck! It appears the XBLA game theme is 13-14 minutes long, but strangely, nobody has posted an actual RBN video for it. So I have no idea how long it is in-game. Why do I dispise bands like Tenacious D or Spinal Tap? Shit like this is why...

    A little bit of Springsteen cadence with the verses in Howling at Summer. Almost as if he turned 'indie' all of a sudden.

    You hated Tenacious D and Spinal Tap because at some point in the future, someone would post a 14-minute-long indie game theme to Rock Band? Wow, that's some clairvoyant hatred.

    As a movie Spinal Tap is great. As a band it's like watching the same stand-up routine over and over again.

    I can stand listening to some songs every now and then, but I'm never like, "God damn - I need to listen to "Tonight I'm Gonna Rock You Tonight" right now".

    Then stuff like "Short and Sweet" just makes me wish they never existed.

    "The Ultimate Showdown" was an entertaining song a few years back, I'll pick it up

    I had to put it on my list when I listened to it again. I don't know why it didn't go there in the first place. The reason I question Cate Sparks and Dappled Cities is because they didn't sell worth a shit. They will be the lowest ranked songs to make the jump. Only How We Roll by Plushgun has fewer 360 scores than the Cate Sparks song, but they were just the 'Artist of the Month'.

    Both are pretty decent, however.

    It's the worst thing on drums on LRB. It's not hard it's just really stupid and, yeah, it means the choice between "Short and Sweet" and any other song is quite obvious.

    If they put in "Sloop John B" I will die

    Literally

    I won't even get to play it

    The ensuing excitement would give me a heart attack, and I'd slump over dead in front of my computer

    The only clue as to the cause of the heart attack will be a half-written message on the forum that reads "HOLY SHIT SLOOP JOH"

    I wish I could be that lucky. Sadly, my brain basically compartmentalised that song as 'unending, unfunny parody song with bullshit guitar wank'. It's one of the six or seven songs I wish I could delete (and why I waited so long to import) and will definitely downrate within RB3.

    I liked Short and Sweet on drums because it was very different from prett much all the other charts. I liked the focus on the snare pattern with all the accents, you can really put some flare into it.

    And Z0mb1es gets pretty crazy in the middle there. Probably still gonna pick that one up despite it.

    If we're going to start seeing more video game music in RB or RBN, I really wish someone from Konami, Capcom, Nintendo, etc. would make a deal with the Minibosses so their covers could be released on RBN. I mean, Contra? Metroid? Castlevania? Mega Man? It would sell well enough to justify the effort, I'm sure.
