did you guys see this yet?  Its a video where they discuss Shackler's Revenge.  "its a mix of old and new, crazy buckethead solo" ect.

The mention is at about 5:30 into it.

Heres an interview Leary did, in it he mentions the Hicks controversy. 

And the last question, so as to keep you on schedule. If I don't ask you about Bill Hicks, I'm going to get crap from a lot of people here at the site. I love both of you guys and have never tried the side-by-side comparison. Are people just blowing smoke when they claim about his material having been swiped by you?

DL: Well, here's the deal. I actually did this for 'Time'magazine, so I don't know if they used it or not, but I've done it so many times. It's a thing I shy away from because there are two people involved and one of them is not here. But here is the bottom line truth'¦but this is not going to change anybody's opinion, because people get caught up in conspiracies and myths. When Bill and I first met, it was at Catch a Rising Star and I think it was 1987. Bill Sheft would remember the year better than I. Bill Sheft, who's David Letterman's head writer and has been for years, he hosted a night there. The core of my act, which was the middle and probably the most famous part for No Cure for Cancer on record, but the actual special itself was longer. But you know the whole smoking and anti pop culture and P.C. thing was already established. I mean, that's what I was doing. He walked out of a room and said, 'There's a guy here from Texas and you guys are going to love each other,' because he had just seen his act. Bill and I, not only did we become friends, but then Bill and I found ourselves having club owners in New York saying, 'Well, we can't book you guys in the same show because you guys are too similar.' Caroline Hirsch said'¦whose club at that time, Caroline's, was downtown at the Seaport'¦said, 'You guys are my two favorite young guys. I'm putting you on, you're going to co-headline and you guys can decide who goes on first and who goes on second.' We did that for a weekend and sold out and audiences loved it. We ended up doing her New Year's Eve show for a couple of years in a row, which was a big gig at that time. Literally, I would open and he would close and then the next show vice-a-versa. So not only were we both aware of it and dispelling it but doing it in a very public place in New York and doing it with a lot of witnesses. Now, to go from that to getting famous first and being accused of stealing his material. And, quite frankly, there was about six or seven other guys, one guy who claimed I stole his aura. (laughs) I said, 'You know, it's funny, I guess I'm just a'¦I did nothing on my own.' I decided'¦because Bill was a really talented comedian, and I think just sort of hitting his stride when he got sick, as far as I'm concerned, time would have dispelled it, anyways, if he had lived. I obviously just kept working. It wouldn't have been an issue, I think, if Bill had lived. It's just that people look at a tragedy and they look at that circumstance and they go, oh, this must be how we can explain this. Like I said, they are never going to get over it. They are probably going to look at my book when it comes out and claim that there is Bill Hicks material in there, which is fine. I just continue to work and I wish the guy was around because I think he was a brilliant comedian. Sometimes I'm coming up with material so fast and furious, and I just think to myself, 'Boy, it would be a lot easier if I could steal this stuff!'

E3 2008: Rock Band 2 Complete Track List Revealed
Guns N' Roses to debut new single! Plus, 83 other tracks to keep you rockin' late into the night and into the early morning.
by Hilary Goldstein

July 14, 2008 - Last year, Rock Band was the only music game that enabled users to play as a full-fledged band. Things are different this year with Konami's Rock Revolution and, more dauntingly, Guitar Hero World Tour. Ultimately, no amount of features or new equipment is going to matter. The real winner will be whichever game has the best track list. Harmonix and MTV must be fully aware of this fact, because today, the two released the full 84-song set list. Judging by the impressive list, Konami and Activision have reason to worry. This is easily the greatest assemblage of music in a game to date.

The big jaw-to-the-floor announcement is that Guns N' Roses is set to debut a new song from the long-awaited album Chinese Democracy. It's not just that Rock Band 2 has GNR -- it has new GNR and effectively announces the imminent arrival of the band's oft-delayed album. Guns N' Roses' "Shackler's Revenge" is just the tip of the iceberg for a track list that features far more greats (Bob effin' Dylan!) than stinkers (Linkin effin' Park?!).

Joining GNR and Dylan are such surprises as Tenacious D, Pearl Jam, Beck, Talking Heads, and The Replacements. The list isn't so focused on spreading across decades as it is spanning genres. There's a lot more heavy metal this time around and the music from the '60s is better focused (and lacking the horror that is Green Tides and High Grass). Perhaps the only head scratcher is the inclusion of Norman Greenbaum's "Spirit in the Sky," which most will recognize as an overused sports anthem.

Ah, but as great as this list may be, you love your old RB1 tracks and just don't want to give them up. Fear not. All downloadable content will work with Rock Band 2 and gamers can export tracks from Rock Band 1 to RB2. That's right -- from day one you can bring all RB1 tracks into RB2 to compliment your DLC as long as you own a PS3 or an Xbox 360 with a hard drive.

And there's more. Harmonix actually wanted to toss in 100 tracks total for the disk, but couldn't get them all in one time to ship for Xbox 360 by September. So this fall, MTV is releasing an additional 20 downloadable master tracks... for free. By year's end this will mean RB fans will have access to more than 500 songs.

That is the sound of Activision gulping.

Check out the full list of tracks. Note that all tracks on RB2 are master recordings. There are 75 tracks from famous artists, plus nine bonus tracks from various bands that feature members of Harmonix.

"As long as you don't have sex with kids or kill anybody, you can do whatever the FUCK you want in my church.  But if you so much as look at an altar boy the wrong way, you don't get transfered to a distant parish up in Nova Scotia, no fuckin way pal!  You stand naked in the middle of Times Square wearing a big neon sign that says "I carry a torch for kids who carry candles".  You fucking asshole."--Denis Leary (Lock N Load)

I still quote this all the time.
