20 free DLC

registration finally opened. still no word on what the songs are. said it will be a "few weeks until they are ready". So, who knows when they are coming? i mean this is from a company who says a "few days" and it means two weeks or they have a "BIG announcement coming" and it ends up being garbage songs no one has ever heard of. my guess is last week of november.

i think they wait until the game is out on all systems, and its going to be a group of 20 songs that nobody would want to play, groups off the harmonix record label

Here's the announcement for the 20 free songs. As expected, I haven't heard of any of them. Oh well, surely a few of them have to be good.

Exactly as you said.

Nothing I have ever heard and didnt think they would give us 20 "cool" songs.

LAME

just as i suspected, garbage. some of them sound cool, but mostly garbage. doubt any of these turn out out be the "electric version" of this game.
