    Is this extra content (the blink 182 track pack to be more exact) on Rockband or Rockband 2? Sorry if it seems I'm being stupid but I'm confused. Please help!

    I don't know about everyone else but for me personally, I don't care whether a song is difficult or not, I just enjoy playing/singing the music. I think it's awesome we are getting Blink-182 and Weezer, love all the songs by them coming out this week.

    Blink and Weezer are slowly eating up my hard drive. Good stuff lately.

    blink-182 have about ten years of excellent back-cat stuff. Everything from Cheshire Cat to TOYPAJ.

    Why is it all we ever hear about is their disappointing self-titled release. I knew this would be the case as soon as I read the title. Sigh. I also like the angry people below yelling about blink and weezer never having achieved much and being bubble gum pop rock, or whatever, and so shouldn't be on Rockband. Good one guys. The recent track packs have been brilliant, as has been mentioned. Bad Religion, Rancid... they've done some Taking Back Sunday tracks, there was even A Day To Remember on the first Warped pack. Apprently nothing's too 'nu' for ol' Harmonix. And that's why I love you Rockband. Heh.

    YES! About time we get more Blink! And rockstar_88 I agree with you they could have added some even better ones, and they should have added more in general. August 15th I will be seeing them in concert!

    Blink-182 is great, but c'mon, where's "What's My Age Again?" and "Give Me One Good Reason"? These choices aren't that great.

    Kings of Leon!?
    Is this already out for 360 and PS3? Because if it's Wii-exclusive, then WTF Harmonix?

    @crunchb3rry

    just because they played a long time ago doesn't make them better. Out of those four drummers the only one i think is better than barker is bonham

    Why don't they release Weezer's entire Blue Album? That would be perfect for this game, and it's a classic.

    "travis barker pwns all drummers"

    John Bonham's corpse, Igor Cavelera, Neal Peart, or Danny Carey could outplay Barker with their feet. Take your pick.

    Harmonix has been in a real 'punk' mood lately.....First the Warped Tour packs, then Rancid, then Rise Against, now Blink-182. OK, those last two are more pop-punk but I digress....

    lets have some real rock music yeah, blink182 weezer? thats just bubble gum pop/rock crap! Lets have some more rock royalty like the Kinks, Stones, or even abit of the jam. People who have made there mark and whose music will be about forever, cant see either blink nor weezer staking a claim to that title.

    no no no, what is this crap? blink 182,weezer??? Not achived much in my country so why the hell should they end up in rock band?? We've just had the excellent Beatles one so why not carry on the greatness by doing the rolling stones, or even the greatest guitar player of all time-Eric clapton? Any of them id buy but someone whose songs sit in the charts for a grand total of a couple of weeks?? no chance.
