Check out Harmonix’s official (and hysterical) response to “The Leak” of the Rock Band 3 setlist, featuring John Drake, HMXHenry, and Daniel Sussman. (Thanks for the shoutout, guys!!!)

And what did we learn here? Add the following songs to the setlist (will take out the incorrect songs on the RB3 Setlist page, too):

• Doobie Brothers – China Grove
• J. Geils Band – Centerfold

And we remove the Rush rumor, as well as the Blood, Sweat, & Tears song.

A video from GottGameShows uploaded to YouTube today features the gentlemen from Harmonix scrolling through the entire track listing for Rock Band 3. Thanks to HD videos on YouTube, many people among the community (myself included) have been deciphering the very small words and have come up with a MASSIVE list of NEW and previously rumored songs… and there are some BIGGIES.

Hit the jump to check ‘em all out… you WILL NOT want to miss this…

A number of eagle-eyed viewers sent me a link to this video featuring Abbie Heppe at X-Play showing off more in-game footage from Rock Band 3. In addition to the return of a higher-res looking Duke of Gravity, we can also see from the lyrics at 0:14 that Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers – I Need to Know will indeed be included on the Rock Band 3 setlist. Definitely check out the full video; there is some very smooth looking in-game footage that is the most impressive I’ve seen yet!

Looks like the rumored “Gamefaqs list” scores another direct hit!

[Thanks Deku, Alex!]

I’ll waste little time in getting to these. EuroGamer.net is reporting 11 new songs (although only lists 10) that will be appearing on Rock Band 3. MTV Games and Harmonix will be in Germany this week for the Gamescom event, promoting a setlist that is arguably more “Euro-friendly.” Anyway, the new songs are…

• Bob Marley & The Wailers – Get Up, Stand Up
• INXS – Need You Tonight
• Poni Hoax – Antibodies
• Rammstein – Du Hast
• Roxette – The Look
• Tokio Hotel – Humanoid
• HIM – Killing Loneliness
• Maná – Oye Mi Amor
• Slipknot – Before I Forget
• War – Low Rider

Also, anyone still doubting that Gamefaqs leak?

[Big thanks to Jon for the heads up!]

Last night, Game Informer put up their weekly podcast featuring both Rock Band 3 and Dance Central. HMXers John, Sylvain, and Daniel are on hand to talk about the game, and in a conversation about transitioning from fake to real instruments, Daniel casually tossed out that you can learn to play real guitar on “Space Oddity.” While this is not an official confirmation, it’s the closest thing that we can get to an official confirmation.

And yes, you’re welcome for not making a “Ground control to Major Tom” reference that always seems to find its way into anything related to “Space Oddity.”

What’s also interesting to note is that “Space Oddity” was also on the mystery leaked list from a few weeks back. Man, that list is looking more and more accurate every day!

UPDATE: I guess it’s official confirmed after seeing @MrPope’s tweet:

New RB3 song announced! RT @RockBand Check out the @GameInformer Podcast featuring RB3 goodness and @JohnTDrake! http://bit.ly/bww5K7

Go to GameInformer to listen to the whole thing, as it is very entertaining!

Hold on to your hats folks… here’s the first look at in-game footage of Rock Band 3.

For the keyBOARD (not keytar… although there is a handle), green, red, blue, yellow or orange keys flow on a “stream” representing the notes to be played on five corresponding keyboard keys. In a new authentic Pro mode meant to help players segue to actual instruments, all 25 keys are used; the streams shifts left and right to cover the correct keys. The keyboard also works as a MIDI keyboard that can be connected to a computer.

“This is a real instrument and a real device,” says senior designer Sylvain Dubrofsky.

In addition to the new keyboard controller, also due for the game’s release are two advanced guitar controllers that take advantage of the Pro mode, one a full-sized, fully functional Fender guitar (all sold separately, no prices yet).

Other Rock Band 3 advances: improved animations, refined gameplay features — players can drop in and out of games, or change instruments and difficulty settings on the fly without stopping songs — and a easier-to-use song menu.

Of the 83 song setlist, the songs CONFIRMED for Rock Band 3 already include:

• Dio – Rainbow in the Dark
• Huey Lewis and the News – The Power of Love
• Ida Maria – Oh My God
• Jane’s Addiction – Been Caught Stealing
• Jimi Hendrix – Crosstown Traffic
• Joan Jett – I Love Rock and Roll
• Juanes – Me Enamora
• Metric – Combat Baby
• Night Ranger – Sister Christian
• Ozzy Osbourne – Crazy Train
• Phoenix – Lasso
• Queen – Bohemian Rhapsody
• Rilo Kiley – Portions of Foxes
• Smash Mouth – Walkin’ on the Sun
• Spacehog – In the Meantime
• Stone Temple Pilots – Plush
• The Cure – Just Like Heaven
• The Doors – Break On Through
• The Vines – Get Free
• The White Stripes – The Hardest Button to Button
• Them Crooked Vultures – Dead End Friends
• Whitesnake – Here I Go Again

OK, now check out the video of Rock Band 3 in action…

And here’s the current setlist as announced for your listening pleasure:
