Apologies for the quality, as the moment was rather impromptu, but ...

This is some crazy-awesome news. I'm most excited about Foo Fighters, then RHCP. I'll need to listen to the Megadeth, but it will probably be really hard and possibly not fun (although I loved Hangar 18).

Some Rock Band 2 songs will be easy. Some will be tough. Some will be freakin' impossible. So let's find out which is which, eh?

Judas Priest's "Painkiller". Hardest drums song? Dream Theater's "Panic Attack"? Best song I never realised was even in the game? Mastodon's ...
