Re: Shackler's Revenge: REALLY confirmed
Sic...you nearly killed me...when it said the "opportunity to include Shackler's Revenge on Rock Band 2 was presented, the song was given priority in our recording process" - i went into a blind rage and started screaming "What? they havn't finished recording??!!" at my computer screen!!!!
Apparently i've turned into one of those people that shouldn't be waiting!
Re: Shackler's Revenge: REALLY confirmed
After Mr. Rose, and Mr. Cobain the industry changed for all future writers forever. It's gridlocked and all the truth in the world can't seem to set it free. So we sit in these circles going in circles, nice elimination of a generation this is our creative genius. speculation. IT would be nice if something got out.

I expect that this song has to leak soon, the game is only a month or so off.

Yeah, and it will be getting reviewed soon, meaning the actual game has to start surfacing everywhere.
Exactly, first the game will start going out to people, eventually to someone who cares enough to rip it to an audio format, then we'll all get it soon after.
If they're smart they'll just hurry and put it on itunes/amazon or something before that gets a chance to happen. I don't count on it, because I don't see them just dropping it on (a-la Izzy) without fanfare, and we'd be hearing of the fanfare already.
I'd be intrigued to see what the numbers on downloads of something like that would be.
Re: Shackler's Revenge: REALLY confirmed
was looking for football season preview magazines yesterday and i saw a new video game mag for music based games. there was an article in it about rock band 2 and it had sept 14 as the release date and it listed shacklers revenge on the OFFICIAL SONG LIST
sadly the 4 page article had no mention of GnR aside from Shacklers Revenge on the song list
there was a Slash article/interview in the mag though for GH3 
EDIT: i think the mag is called "Guitars and Gamers" or something like that

Rock Band 2: Behind the Music
August 15, 2008
We spoke at length with Harmonix's Audio Director, Eric Brosious, about the process of compiling tracks for RB2. Not only did we discuss the new Guns 'n Roses track, but also the reasoning behind the selection of other music. Plus, we asked Brosious about future DLC, including the possibility of seeing funk and reggae added to the mix.
IGN: How did debuting a new GnR song come about? And how was "Shackler's Revenge" chosen as the song for RB2?
Brosious: Well of course we really wanted to have GnR included in RB2 and Paul DeGooyer, our music guru and all-around good guy at MTV, worked directly with the GnR folks to make it happen. Everyone involved decided that it'd be ultra fab to have something from the mysterious "Chinese Democracy." And Axl himself took an interest and chose "Shackler's Revenge." Very cool.
IGN: Do you think this means the long-delayed Chinese Democracy will come out in my lifetime?
Brosious: Definitely'¦wait how old are you? RB2 will be (I think) the first public release of content from "Chinese Democracy." So, with that, maybe people will be looking forward to this album coming out even more than they were before.
Whether or not you can trust him to have all the info or not, I don't know. But according to him Shackler's was Axl's choice to be the RB2 song. He doesn't say anything helpful about album release though.
