Rock Band 2/Guitar Queer-o World Tour

[Kerm]

They have a shit load of Who songs in the game for download and a bunch of them are live versions. In other words: you get to jump around and be a poser while listening to kick ass Who songs.

The Who pack is fucking awesome.  I think it's the best one in the game.  I liked the inclusion of "Real Good Looking Boy", one of their few "new" songs.  It kicks ass.

I don't particularly like The Grateful Dead, but that song pack is a hell of a lot of fun to play, too.  So is the Boston one.  And The Cars.  FYI, here are all the downloadable songs.  There are a shitload.

The guitar parts on those Who songs are a bitch. I can't even fathom how drums are.

I'm glad they made Alive somewhat of a challenge, unlike Evenflow on GHIII which was super easy. I hope a Pearl Jam pack is in the works though I'm not holding my breath.

Yeah, I always start playing Alive on Expert, and then I get to the end, and remember why I can't finish Alive on Expert.

I want a Pearl Jam track pack if for no other reason than to figure out what the hell he's saying in Yellow Ledbetter.

After you've been playing the guitar for a few years, you're ready to start playing the Who for real (everything after Tommy - the early stuff is pretty easy)...Towser had some of the most bizarre fucking tunings I've ever seen.

Do you guys know how to get RB1 songs over to RB2?  I thought there was supposed to be some converter thing you could download on Live, but I can't find it anywhere.

It's not on Live (since you have to actually own RB1 to do it).  I think it's under "Options" on the RB1 disc.  There should be an "Export Songs" option.  You pay $5, and it does it for you.

Yeah, when guitarists use strange tunings it makes it hard to play their songs. I have a shitty capo, I think that's good enough at my skill level. If you'd like to hear an acoustic song using mostly major and minor chords only, I'm your guy.

Or I can turn up my amp, plug in my shitty Squier and make enough noise that you won't care what I'm playing because it sounds awesome.

Anyone get their codes for the 20 free songs with Rock Band 2?  I just downloaded them a bit ago.  They're mostly newer indie bands, but there's a few good ones in there.  "Ashes to Fire" by Ghost Hounds is pretty solid.  The only other ones I played were "Bounce" by The Cab and "Like A Fool" by Shaimus.

Got it today. Only played the Authority Zero song because it came up in my tour. It was ok. I had heard some of their stuff before and it's just whatever.

No Rick Astley yet?

I failed my first song on hard guitar. Fuck. I got the Outlaws song on a challenging mystery playlist. It's a great song and fun as hell until the second solo comes up and butt rapes you.

Also, I've been looking for just the drum kit for the 360 and Gamestop doesn't seem to carry it. Anyone seen these sitting around anywhere? I have 100 bucks in credit to their stores, is why I ask.

Slak, check the store availability here (but I'd still call before going in).  Can you use the credits to order online?

I saw it at Best Buy around when it first came out and haven't seen it sense then.

Only if they put some yellow sticker on your edge card which the guy didn't do. What a prick. I'll have to call around. You'd think they would order it in if I asked. I don't think they do that though.

If you guys stop playing Rock Band and pick up a real guitar, maybe one day you can be as talented as NICKELBACK.  What a twat.

So I "beat" Guitar Hero this weekend on solo mode, since I only have the guitar. It was actually a lot more fun than I thought. I don't know if they'll be able to keep pace with Rock Band's unreal download parade, which continues this week with some Yngwie Malmsteen, classic Soundgarden and a Lamb of God song which will probably be brutal.

Regardless, some GH highlights include a few Tool songs, Michael Jackson's Beat It and of course when you beat the game, they let you play Dream Theater's Pull Me Under over the credits which was a very welcome surprise. I geeked out as that's one of my all-time favorite songs.

Well, since nickelback recycles the same 3 chords over and over, I'd argue that GH is actually harder to play than a nickelback album.
