Rumor: Rock Band 2 set list leaked on Youtube [Update]

by Majed Athab { Jul 9th 2008 at 3:00PM }

[Update: This video is definitely fake. Details from a hands-on preview from Gamespot negate some of the information found in this listing. Sorry for the confusion; guess it was completely too good to be true after all.]

With news of Rock Band 2's rumored (and highly contested) set list out there for public viewing, someone thought it might be a good idea to put up a Youtube video of these tracks in in-game form. The video above shows a supposed menu for the game and all its tracks. Remember, this is nothing more than speculation at the moment; nothing has been announced and most likely all will be revealed at E3 next week.

We also think this list is too good to be true: Rock the Casbah? Seriously? Finally? Then there are songs with extreme explicit lyrics like A Perfect Circle's Judith which (while a great addition) doesn't seem like a likely candidate. Check out a full list of tracks, compiled courtesy of CVG.

jrsz24 @ Jul 9th 2008 3:13PM

Very impressive list. I might have to get this!

sgt barone @ Jul 9th 2008 3:23PM

Rock Band 2>>>>>Guitar Hero: WT

Can't wait for this game!

HAAS599 @ Jul 9th 2008 3:19PM

I just decided I will buy this game.

V Terror @ Jul 9th 2008 3:23PM

they mispelled santeria...

OOPSIES!

KaManDer @ Jul 9th 2008 3:23PM

I could see that acctually being it.

And probably Outlaws version of Ghost Riders in the Sky.

sgt barone @ Jul 9th 2008 3:24PM

when you look closely, its pretty much every rock artist ever asked for in a video game. really.

groovemachine @ Jul 9th 2008 3:24PM

hell yeah

AmericanNinja @ Jul 9th 2008 3:28PM

Guitar Hero what?!?!? Rock Band all the way baby!

Skrag @ Jul 9th 2008 3:30PM

"What's YOUR Frequency, Kenneth?" and the misspelling of SantAria...?

I say it smell's fake.

Skrag @ Jul 9th 2008 3:34PM

Or maybe smells. Sorry.

FixtSux @ Jul 9th 2008 3:30PM

"Then there are songs with extreme explicit lyrics like A Perfect Circle's Judith which (while a great addition) doesn't seem like a likely candidate. "

If this is true I'm completely stoked. There is a radio version of Judith which I'm sure is what they'll do. They edited Garbage if I'm not mistaken in the first game.

Mike918 @ Jul 9th 2008 3:34PM

Holy shit!.. DREAM THEATER!!! damn the setlist looks freaking amazing can't wait fot this!.

justinb @ Jul 9th 2008 3:32PM

IF THIS IS THE LIST I WILL BUY THIS GAME NO QUESTIONS ASKED!

Correction if only 50% of this list is correct i'm still in on buying this game reading that list just made my pants smell.

astronautbread @ Jul 9th 2008 3:43PM

"Passum Kingdom, Rubberneck"
should be "Possum Kingdom, The Toadies" The CD was called rubberneck though.....
excellent song

Steve @ Jul 9th 2008 3:43PM

Under Skilled, American Woman is by The Guess Who, not The Who.

Rusty @ Jul 9th 2008 3:48PM

Elvis Costello and Cheap Trick have been confirmed. They're not on this list. Fakety-fake fake.

gman @ Jul 9th 2008 3:59PM

There are some bands in there that don't fit well with the rest. For instance Panic at the Disco, Cheryl Crow, Paramore, Evanescence, and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs are all pretty dumb. I mean you can't even compare them to the rest of the bands on that list. And yes I realize that all of the bands I listed have girls for singers (yes, Panic at the Disco too). But lets face the fact that there are very few good bands with girl singers. And pandering to chicks only starts you on a slippery slope to being whipped.

Pete @ Jul 9th 2008 4:04PM

It is a fake. Harmonix has already announced that Panic Attack is a song by Dream Theater, not by Finger Eleven, like that video shows.

Mullinsmcd @ Jul 9th 2008 4:12PM

Yeah its a wicked fake. The difficulty dots change in size based on the track thats highlighted. Really sucks that they would go this far and break all of the fans hearts in an instant.

RegimeNoir @ Jul 9th 2008 4:24PM

Muse-Hype Music!?!? Holy Crap this line up will be hard to beat. It just sucks guitar hero will force us to buy more peripherals. Then again they are the ones copying rockband's formula.

DeadPlasmaCell @ Jul 9th 2008 4:40PM

Yea screw off GHWT! Even though you're the exact same game as Rock Band and your set-list has yet to be reveled! Screw off anyway!!1!

/see how silly you haters look

Marek Hryc @ Jul 9th 2008 4:40PM

Anyone else hope Heartbreaker is Mariah Carey?

Kidding, but this list looks awesome, I seriously hopes it's the real deal.

Nick @ Jul 9th 2008 5:36PM

You misspelled Megadeth.

Clint @ Jul 10th 2008 9:22AM

While that is a nice setlist I wonder why the album covers for different songs are different sizes. I'd think they would fit them to the size of the window...

sgt barone @ Jul 9th 2008 6:00PM

i think the songlist is true, but the video fake.

colin17 @ Jul 9th 2008 6:25PM

glad this is fake.
wtf John Mayer?

KEFIOX @ Jul 10th 2008 3:22PM

I refuse to believe this is fake. Head Like a Hole! Down With the Sickness! 2 Minutes to Midnight! TNT! Crazy Train! Rock the Casbah! Bring Me to Life! Spoonman! Machinehead! Kickstart My Heart! Cowboys From Hell! and more!!! This list is definitely not fake. It just can't be.

mike @ Jul 10th 2008 5:53PM

looks ok...guitar hero 4 looks a hell of a lot better though...this is shit compared to that. but i sure wish Down With The Sickness and The Bleeding were on guitar hero 4 though cause i dont think im on board for this one
