I literally jumped out of my chair and screamed for some of these songs!

Songs on the new setlist that made you scream?
"Dream Theater made me excited, as they're my all time favorite band, but what really made me go "OH HOLY FUCK" was Lazy Eye by Silversun Pickups. Goddamn I love that song and did not expect to see it on the setlist.I know me too!!!! lol its an amazing song and should be loads of fun =D
"
Dream Theater is exciting in the way that it's propably going to be pretty tough on all instruments but I was really amazed to see AC/DC and Bob Dylan in that list. The most awesome thing there is Pinball Wizard though, that song is awesome and it will propably be alot of fun to sing since I know it really well.
Lets see...
"White Wedding," little peep
"The Middle," starts humming the tune
"One Step Closer," starts singing under his breath
"Float On," sings at normal volume
"Master Exploder," sings out loud
"Give It All," sings out loud while playing air guitar
"Everlong," sings out loud while playing the air guitar and air drums
"Chop Suey," goes f*ing bananas and starts screaming and headbanging
* Blondie “One Way or Another”
* Bob Dylan “Tangled Up in Blue”
* Elvis Costello “Pump It Up”
* Talking Heads “Psycho Killer”
* Devo “Uncontrollable Urge”
* Joan Jett “Bad Reputation”
* Metallica “Battery”
* Sonic Youth “Teenage Riot”
* Beastie Boys “So Whatcha Want”
* Bikini Kill “Rebel Girl”
* Dinosaur Jr. “Feel the Pain”
* Foo Fighters “Everlong”
* Lush “De-Luxe” (MORE SHOEGAZE IN ROCK BAND PLZZZ!)
* Rage Against the Machine “Testify”
* Beck “E-Pro”
* Interpol “PDA”
* Modest Mouse “Float On”
yeah. that's pretty much the screaming part ;D rest is just great (and a couple of terrible tracks).
Linkin Park made me scream in anger.
But I screamed for Chop Suey, one of the few SOAD songs I like, plus it might mean we get SOAD DLC in the future (hopefully Hypnotize...man how I'd love to sing that). And of course The Tress. You can never have too much Rush.
"Linkin Park made me scream in anger.true. but when will harmonix realize that everyone is waiting for the spirit of the radio?! :o

Seriously, they need to release a "Best Of" pack for Rush. Spirit of Radio, Freewill, 2112, etc. And YYZ could also be released and have a lower price since there's no vocals, or maybe just release it for free. ;D
Dream Theater had me exited until I realized its gonna kick my ass. Alive by Pearl Jam is pretty sweet to.
"Panic Attack, Battery, Painkiller, Souls of Black, Round and Round, Everlong, Chop Suey, Down with the Sickness (idk why) were the ones that I'm really happy about (Although I'm probably forgetting some)Agreed 100%.
Although I'm sad about the lack of Muse :(

Pinball Wizard
Come Out and Play
Battery
Chop Suey
Mainly because I love to sing in Rock Band these will be great for that. It's a solid set list all around though.
peace sells,battery,shacklers revenge i love gnr,and AC/DC thats pretty much it, thats why im gettng gh4 and then buying rb2 with game only.
I was in awe when I read Panic Attack, and then I saw Master Exploder! That's where my jaw dropped! Oh I hope they somehow don't censor the song :P
There are so many great songs on this list, but I have to say that Teenage Riot and Battery made me scream.
I'm glad to see so much love for Silversun Pickups here. You guys have great taste!
"AC/DC's Let There Be Rock, a great song by one of my favorite bands ever. Battery, Master Exploder and Peace Sells also are going to be totally awesome (thrash ftw). But what really made my jaw drop was possibly my favorite song ever, Painkiller by Judas Priest!!! I don't really know how they going to chart that drum intro but its going to be awesome no matter how they do it.Exactly my thoughts. Or well Painkiller may not be my favorite song, but it is up there.
"
1. AC/DC “Let There Be Rock” 1970s
4. Alice in Chains “Man in the Box” 1990’s
19. Dream Theater “Panic Attack” 2000’s
31. Judas Priest “Painkiller” 1990’s
38. Mastodon “Colony of Birchmen” 2000’s
39. Megadeth “Peace Sells” 1980’s
40. Metallica “Battery” 1980’s
43. Motorhead “Ace of Spades” 1980’s
54. Rush “The Trees” 1970’s
59. Soundgarden “Spoonman” 1990’s
67. Testament “Souls of Black” 1990’s
75. The Who “Pinball Wizard” 1960’s
Easily the best songs there, but if they aren't master tracks then they just won't be the same (especially with the past covers from some of those artists being so horrible).
Alice In Chains & Sound Garden > Nirvana & Pearl Jam. The way Layne Staley & Jerry Cantrell harmonize is just amazing. I think Chris Cornell's work speaks for itself.
Painkiller will be insane. The drum intro, the dueling guitars, Halford's screams that go so high they almost become inaudible. I lose my voice attempting to emulate it.
Mentioning drums... Mike Portnoy, Brann Dailor, & Neil Peart are all insane.
"LouisLeGros said:yes they did. only masters on the disc.Easily the best songs there, but if they aren't master tracks then they just won't be the same (especially with the past covers from some of those artists being so horrible).I'm pretty sure Harmonix confirmed that all of the RB2 songs are masters.

i found out the setlist by watching a youtube vid and when i finished watching the video i was exausted from yelling OMG I LOVE THAT SONG.
There is so much radness in the set list I had to section it off:
Stuff that should be awesome to play: Pinball Wizard, Panic Attack, Master Exploder, Souls of Black, Almost Easy, Pain Killer, Let there be Rock, Ace of Spades.
Awesome stuff that really surprised me: Cool for Cats, Feel the Pain, Tangled up in Blue, Psycho Killer, Lazy Eye.
Pure ecstasy (these songs should be staples in every music/rhythm game): Carry on My Wayward Son, Spirit in the Sky, Ramblin Man, Rock'n Me, EVERLONG!!
I know I listed almost 1/4 of the songs, but that is just how pleased I am with what Harmonix chose... not that there isn't some terrible crap in there also.
