| Don't we already know 38 of the 40 songs? In addition to knowing a few of the bands in the bonus tracks (Freezepop, Bang Camero, etc.)? Just checking. |

Yep, my guess is if this is true, we'll get 6 more songs, rounding out the main Rock Band Setlist.
They probably won't announce any Bonus Tracks at all until release, or trickle them out, who knows. But in the Bonus Tracks department, I'd guess 15 to 20 tracks. I wonder if there's any fairly famous names in the bonus setlist? Besides Harmonix's in house bands, that is. Either way, Rock Band is already awesome, they can only make it rock harder. Can't wait for this game! Good thing I'll have GH3 soon to tide things over till then.

I'm betting there's more bonus songs than that. IGN put the endless setlist at close to 6 hours long, and the 39 songs in the main setlist right now add up to a little over 2 and a half hours - unless the bonuses are all really long, there'll probably be nearly as manhy of them as the main setlist. I think there was a preview picture on rockband.com that inadvertently revealed there being a lot of songs in the game, but it's been changed since then, of course. |

| it obviously takes longer then 2.5 hours to play through all 39 songs. Its definitely not gonna take the length of each song added up. Are you telling me you could play through GH1 in 2.5 hours? no way. And i'm pretty sure the endless set list wont contain bonus songs. So 5-6 hours seems about right for 45 songs if you compare to GH1/2. |

After calculating the song lengths, They probably will include bonus songs in that:
without bonus songs: 2 hours 47 for 39 songs
with the seven announced: appx 3 hours 9 minutes including the bonus tracks
I didn't want to clutter the board with the list of times for each song.

That's totally shoddy reasoning, what you're claiming is that you would spend an equal amount of time loading and waiting for each song compared to actually playing them. It certainly doesn't take 9 minutes to load freebird, and a few seconds of cinematics before and after each song really doesn't add up. I certainly don't think a straight playthrough of guitar hero 1 would take much longer than 2 hours, assuming the player never failed any of the songs. There is no concievable way they could get up to 6 hours on main setlist songs unless the last 6 songs are all around 30 minutes, and that's not happening. |

Where did they say that the endless setlist would take about 6 hours? Yeah, you'd have to include bonus songs to make it even close to that long, i bet you can play through Rock Band's setlist in about 3 hours.
As for the number of bonus songs, yes, there was a screenshot that some people took to say ## out of 85 songs completed, leading people to believe they have a butload of bonus songs. But in that same speculation thread, Harmonix guy here at Scorehero (dfan), told us to not get our hopes up when we speculated 40 bonus tracks. So I'm betting around 20.
If you take let's say 65 songs and run them at 4 minutes a piece, you get about 4 hours, 20 minutes.
Hard to conceive that the endless setlist would take 6 hours, maybe that's wrong?
Not saying I wouldn't like 40 bonus songs, but if you think about it, it'll be arond 20 songs,which ain't bad either.
The endless setlist looks like it could take about 5 hours max.
We'll see though...

We've even heard there is a Marathon setlist that may take six hours to beat.
okay, it may take six hours to beat, so anywhere from 4 1/2 to 5 1/2 as a conservative estimate makes sense. |

I listened to it last night, i interpreted it the same way you did, i think they are going to release the full setlist today. And if there's not a song harder than Wanted DoA, i'm not buying it :P
