Do you know bands that have had some DLC or been in Guitar Hero or RB before, but haven’t released one of their huge hits for a game?  That is a good place to look for bands that might be in Rock Band 3.  For instance, Queen had a huge pack released as DLC, but arguably their biggest hit, “Bohemian Rhapsody” was excluded. While many people argue it’s just because the track would not translate well into gameplay, looking at it from a marketing standpoint will tell you that there would be no better way to promote Rock Band 3’s new vocal harmonies feature than to include one of the most well known harmony parts in the history of rock music in the game.

Though not many details are known, through looking at clues and trends left by Harmonix and other parties, it is quite easy to speculate and feel as though you aren’t very far off from the possible truth. There are many new features that were brought to the forefront with The Beatles: Rock Band and Lego Rock Band that would fit very nicely into the formula of Rock Band 3. The question is, which of those features would make the transition and which ones would be left on the cutting room floor?

As far as songs that will be included on the Rock Band 3 disc, speculators need not look any further than bands that were recently released as DLC. With popular artists like Lady Gaga, Carrie Underwood, Foo Fighters, Megadeth, White Stripes, Alice in Chains, and Tom Petty making appearances as Rock Band DLC, it only seems logical that some of their as-of-yet excluded tracks be released on disc.

Also worth mentioning would be the several bands that claimed that they would be featured in upcoming Rock Band games, like U2 and The Who. Even though they claimed they would each be receiving their own Rock Band title devoted to their band (like The Beatles and Green Day before them), it is entirely possible that Harmonix will opt to simply motion capture the members of each band for Rock Band 3 in order to fulfill their wishes.

Do you have some guesses on bands that will have tracks in RockBand3?

Please share with me what bands & songs you want to see in Rock Band 3.  Post individual bands or songs or post a setlist if you really want. Let’s hope they avoid the songs that we have played in the Guitar Hero series, I’m getting sick of the overlap!
