'Rock Band 2' set list includes new Guns N' Roses, Bob Dylan

This morning, as thousands of gamers descend on Los Angeles for the E3 Media & Business Summit, Harmonix and MTV Games, makers of the popular video game Rock Band, will announce the real set list for the much anticipated sequel Rock Band 2, scheduled to be released for the Xbox 360 platform this September. The game will feature 80 songs, all comprised of original master recordings, including “Shackler’s Revenge,” the first official track from Guns N’ Roses’ (singer Axl Rose, pictured) long-awaited Chinese Democracy album, which has been 14 years in the making and rumored to be coming out this year. Bob Dylan will also be making his video game debut with “Tangled Up in Blue,” while AC/DC signed an exclusive deal for use of their music, including the arena anthem, “Let There Be Rock.”

Since its release in fall 2007, the Rock Band “music platform,” as executives at the companies like to call it, has seen massive success, moving upwards of 2.5 million game units (priced at $169) and selling over 15 million downloaded tracks (at $1.99 a pop). In comparison, its competitor, Activision’s Guitar Hero, which recently announced a full-band version of the game called Guitar Hero World Tour, has generated more than $1 billion in sales in just under three years. But in the arena of downloadable content, Rock Band aims to be the market leader, promising that by year’s end, its music library will house more than 500 tracks, making it the largest catalog in game history.
