Meh none of the DJ+Guitar tracks were all that memorable to me anyways so I wouldn't miss them. Plus they were more of a pain anyways since you couldn't use rewinds.
If it was free DLC as in transferrable then cool. If not then still cool depending what songs are included and if the game engine is tuned up. Im not a big complainer about DLC or Live since I don't play all that much so it wouldn't bother me.

Even if there was a one-time fee a la RB to transfer the songs into DJH2 it would be alright with me.
The one thing about the vocals that gives me pause is that because of the nature of a mashup, the vocalist won't be able to do great on a song untl they've played it once or twice and know what parts ended up where. I am quite interested in trying to sing-jay, however.

ohai 
confirmed artist list is looking fuckin sick!
and if the vox engine in this game is anything like gh5, voxjaying will become a pain in the ass for most, especially if u never did play gh5/bh on vox :p but the highway looked a lot smaller than normal, so maybe they made the engine less strict, or maybe a whole new engine perhaps? one can only hope...
and im guessing they have auto-no fail on again? |

OH HAI PARZ XD
And i think that yeah, it seems the "no fail" mechanic is still there...but you know what? I have the STRANGEST feeling we will need this for THIS game...

| Come on Waters of Nazareth! Why is Metallica going to be in this if presumably dj/guitar mode has been removed? I mean Metallica has got to be the last thing to come to mind when I think Dj Hero |

My guess is it went something like this:
Bob Activision: "So DJ Hero was a good first attempt, but we really need to get the sales figures up on the 2nd on if we're going to keep sinking money into it. Who do we have on board so far?"
FSG: "We're very excited about this one. We've got some of the hottest artists in the club scene today: Timbaland, Rhianna, MSTRKRFT, Lil Wayne, Kanye West, the list goes on."
Bob Activision: "That's all well and good, but you know what really sells music games? Metallica."
FSG: Wait... what? Sir, with all due respect, have you ever even been to a dance club?
Bob Activision: "Yeah, I tell you what, every game could use a little more Metallica. We've still got leftover rights from GHM, why don't you flip through those songs and put... lets say... 10 different mash-ups featuring Metallica. THAT should guarantee some sales."
FSG: "So you want 10% of the in-game songs to feature a group that is the direct antithesis of what we are going for?"
Bob Activision: Yup.

@ Fedora: That's probably what happened...
...but, i haven't seen them even mention them since they started revealing the new artists, so it could just be that it was thought up of first, but then dropped since there hasn't been any new mention of the DJ vs. Guitar tracks in DJH2...
...but if there was, then yes this would make more sense :|

WOW, REALLY loving that interface, looks clean, crisp, white, and smooth.
and i've said it before and i'll say it again, the MSTRKRFT Beat Juggle mix is just TOO good to pass up...
I love it how were getting A LOT of multiplayer modes in DJH2 instead of the "pro-face off" mode and DJ vs. Guitar mode from DJH1, and you can play through the game with vocals only? Nice, not much of a vocals fan but eh, i'll give this a try :3
So we now have a fourth mix, Nelly's "Hot In Here" VS. Nate Dogg ft. Warren G's "Regulate", it doesn't sound half-bad 
Anyone wonder if we may be getting this as a demo for the PS Store/Xbox Marketplace? I doubt it but seeing that Green Day Rock Band got a "store" demo i don't see the reason why not to, plus it would give those who already have the turntable a sneak peek as to what's expected for the next game... :P
btw, thanks for the video toymachine
UPDATE:
New mix - Iyaz "Replay" VS. Rihanna "Rude Boy"
NOTE(literally): this video is probably the first that shows off the "Hold" notes in DJ Hero 2.

Good stuff! I wouldn't mind singing and DJing. I already did singing and guitar/drums. Should be fun. Don't know about saying "Come here rude boy, boy can you get it up." Not right. Lol.
Keep the info comin! |

man who do they get to sign off on these mixes or get advice even? im surprised warren g was ok with this; i didn't really like the warren g/nelly mix and i dont say that about a lot of dj hero mixes  it isnt that they didn't do the mix good. but i cant even think of any real DJs who would take a platinum hit 90s song and mix it with a current hip hop song in this decade. total apples and oranges. im just saying they could have picked much better than a nelly song. nelly vocals absolutely do not complement the more laid back, free flowing warren g/ nate dogg vocals
you might think you can say the same thing for the ghosts&stuff/just dance but it's very common for DJs to take a dance/techno/house beat and mix it with mainstream vocals. that mix was fine.
also the pitbull/pussy cat dolls songs complement each other very well to make the good mix they made as well.
but yeah please reconsider that warren g/nelly mix if youre reading this dj hero developers i dont think that mix will be received well by hip hop fans |

That was PR's call. Don't want to discourage people from trying the game.
Also I jumped on Expert when they asked if anyone wanted to try and due to the lag of the TV it was quite embarrassing
