Anyone picked these up yet?
In my quest to entertain myself I have bought both sans instruments. So I'm just using the wireless GH III controller with both games and playing the guitar parts and trying to unlock songs. So far I'd have to give Rock Band 2 the big edge in game play. Guitar Hero is kind of tedious as far as the career solo mode goes.
I've also gone online with a couple of friends and we can play in the same band and do those challenges which are really fun. I find myself fighting a compulsion to not only buy all of the DLC for RB2 but also to go out and get the drums and mic. And I hate myself for it.
I have RB2. I gave up on the Guitar Hero series when it started getting too metal-heavy for my tastes. I like the setlist for RB2 a lot more, and the Band World Tour mode is awesome.
I think I'm the only person in the world who likes the Rock Band guitars far better than the Guitar Hero ones. I hate the click when you strum GH guitars, and RB2 doesn't have that. It also has bigger fret buttons, making it easier to slide your hand around the neck, in my opinion.
The RB2 drums are awesome, and now they have add-on cymbals. The cymbals aren't as cool as the GH: WT ones do, since RB2 doesn't "force" you to play the cymbals, but rather is an alternative to one of the other drum pads. They play like cymbals for the drum fills and the big endings, though, and they look as cool as a plastic instrument can look.
If you don't want to have to pick up a microphone, you can sing through your Xbox Live headset if you plug it into a controller. But that's not as fun.
Also, RB2 (and I'm sure GT: WT) is really fun in a group, especially if you have drums and a microphone. It's the best party game since Mario Kart.

If you try it, keep in mind, you have to plug the headset into a separate controller to control the "singer." If you stand up and play, you'll have to keep the controller in your pocket, or something. You can't just plug the headset into the guitar.

I had totally considered that as I carefully went over this scenario in my mind. I wish I was joking.
Do the GH guitars work with RB? We have GH3 Wii and I'm being pushed by the Nine Year Old for WT. If RB is better and I can use the guitar I already have, then I have more options.

Yes, but I don't think RB guitars work on GH, for what it's worth.
I've had Rock Band 2, with the original Rock Band instruments. My drum set is starting to get worn down, and I've never been a fan of how loud they are or how hard it is to do certain things, but it's still awesome. I've downloaded probably 3 or 4 GB worth of new songs for it. I was thinking of picking up GH:WT, but I've heard it's not that great. I saw this badass bass guitar for RB2 at Best Buy one day. It's the regular size of a bass, it has two strum bars so you can play it like a real bass, and has a lot of other really awesome features. I want to pick it up, but I think it costs somewhere around $100.

I understand that, I guess. Although, bass players generally don't do much, a la John Entwistle. If you're gonna fake it, be Towser.

Why didn't they just ask Paul or Ringo?
I was just at Best Buy, and part of me really wanted to buy GH:WT (I need another guitar for Rock Band anyways), but I'm not sure if I can justify spending the $100 on it. I'd like to play "Santeria" and a few other games on there, but I really haven't seen great reviews, and I'm not sure exactly how you can use the RB drum set since the GH one seems to have 5 different pads + foot pedal whereas the RB have 4 pads + foot pedal.

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 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_downloadable_songs_for_the_Rock_Band_series). There are a shitload.

Self-quoting douche.
Apparently, it's going to be a standalone Beatles game developed by Harmonix (http://www.joystiq.com/2008/10/30/rock-band-the-beatles-now-official/) and compatible with the Rock Band instruments. I suspect it will be like the AC/DC "game" that's coming out, no matter what they say. If they're going to charge full price for the game, there better damn well be at least 60 Beatles songs on it.

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.

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.

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 (http://www.gamestop.com/Catalog/ProductDetails.aspx?product_id=72261) (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 (http://www.joystiq.com/2008/11/21/nickelback-singer-put-down-the-guitar-hero/). 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.

As a very novice guitar player - I would never even attempt to play a Nickelback song. But if I did, I bet I could pull it off.
A Springsteen 2-pack (including Born to Run and something off his new album) is coming to GTWT for free. I hope this means he's also on his way to Rock Band. Otherwise, I'm going to have to pick up GTWT.

Yep, but it's going to be a standalone game. Apparently, they're not doing a Rock Band 3 in 2009, but doing the Beatles game instead. I suspect it's going to kick ass.

I picked up GHWT the other day and have enjoyed it a lot more than I thought I would. I just bought the Guitar Game, and the wireless guitar that comes with it is tits. Much better than the Rock Band guitar.

Oh, I agree wholeheartedly. I'd prefer only track packs, but I think the implication was that they're going to do something a little bit special for The Beatles. And I cannot wait for Ten. So far, I think the best track packs have been The Who, Boston, and The Cars. This will blow them all away. Well, maybe not The Who. That one was ridiculous.

The Who pack is incredible. I love the Boston one, too. You get at least 7 songs a week with Rock Band and maybe 3 a week if you're lucky on GH. It's just not the same.
I finally got this last night and played it with a couple of friends of mine. It was a blast. I finally went through and read this thread and I'm very much so looking forward to getting home and downloading The Who, Boston, and the Cars at the very least. I hope that they have some Dropkick Murphys out there.. One thing I wouldn't mind seeing is a few country songs thrown in there. Some Toby Keith or Trace Adkins for a hick like me.
I'm finding the drums to be tough, but I think some work on the tutorials should help remedy that..
I'm anxiously waiting for that Beatles game. Any word on a date?

I love how diverse Rock Band's selection is getting, even though not much has interested me for a while. I picked up a couple of the Orbison songs, but I wasn't interested in the country pack, and I will take a big PASS on Kravitz.

Did you get the Cars pack? It's pretty freaking outstanding, too. "My Best Friend's Girl" has a really fun riff to play. I love how diverse Rock Band's selection is getting, even though not much has interested me for a while. I picked up a couple of the Orbison songs, but I wasn't interested in the country pack, and I will take a big PASS on Kravitz.
Yep - got the Cars as well. Also, the NIN pack is sweet. If you want to play a fun but repetitive drum song, I recommend the Collector. Maybe I like it because I'm not that good, but it's a blast.
Fuck country and Kravitz with a lightning bolt.
I keep hesitating on the NIN pack, because I fear that "Perfect Drug" will shatter my wrists on drums.

Yep, but it's going to be a standalone game. Apparently, they're not doing a Rock Band 3 in 2009, but doing the Beatles game instead. I suspect it's going to kick ass.

Pearl Jam's Ten is hitting the store March 24th. So, essentially, Christmas is March 24th this year.

It's a fun song on Hard, and nearly impossible on Expert. I watched a YouTube video of some guy who got close to 100% on it, and it just boggles my mind. So far "Foreplay/Long Time" on Expert is the most difficult drum song I've played (because I refuse to play "Run to the Hills" on Expert), but "Perfect Drug" is a close second.
Well the game was fun while it lasted... Tonight, while playing, somehow it got scratched pretty nicely. I believe it might have happened when I picked the xbox up to move it 2 feet forward to reach for the wired controller I have, but it was never tilted during that. There is a small ring about halfway in that goes around 1/3 of the disc... and now it prevents me from fully playing all of the Tour... Any suggestions on what route to take? Go back to Best Buy for a possible exchange? Microsoft? Someone told me that Family Video can sometime repair discs for a small fee...

Well it sounds like you just bought it. If so, just take it back wherever you bought it from. If it's Best Buy, I think their exchange policy for games is either 14 or 30 days.

That song isn't too hard, it's just long and annoying (that's what she said). If you can survive playing the same thing over and over and over again for about 3 minutes straight, it's alright. I also forgot to mention that "Next To You" is all kinds of ridiculous. I've only played it on Hard, and I remember having to save my star power thing for most of the song, just so I could have the drum fills take away a lot of the notes.
I'd say my favorite song to play on drums is "Are You Gonna Be My Girl?" on Expert. It's just a lot of fun. "Foreplay/Long Time" is still the most awesomely epic song in the game, but I can only do that one on Hard.
I'm up to the last song on the Impossible Bass Challenge, and cannot get past the Dream Theater song. More annoyingly, I get tripped up at around 80% of a 7 minute song.
And I had a tough time with Flirtin With Disaster on Expert. That's a song I've heard a few too many times now.

I despise Flirtin with Disaster, particularly since it's easy enough to play through the entire song before getting killed by the final solo.

Correct. I know Electronics Boutique used to offer a full return policy for new games. Or at least you could swap them for a different title. Those were the good ol' days. How am I supposed to know if a game sucks without playing it? It costs as much to rent them these days as it does to buy them! AMIRIGHT?!

Well if I go, I hope they don't notice the possible negligence on my part.. I'm not sold on the best course of action.. I did go to Family Video and they possibly fixed it but I won't know until tomorrow sometime when I can play it... Then if it doesn't work I think I'll drag my ass up there and exchange it...

Buy it in the sense of the disc came that way and I didn't scratch it up... I could imagine there being some speculation... I do have the fact that I once worked there and know a decent amount of the people who work at customer service. That may help.

Sorry. Rock Band. RB2 originally came with "Rock 'N' Me."
DPD. Apparently, those songs came out THIS week (meaning today).
Ok so I got to this part in the thread "I watched a YouTube video of some guy who got close to 100% on it". People really tape themselves playing video games? And on the flip note how do I get to watch this? Yes I realize this makes me a complete DORK, like everyone else.

I did the 60-whatever setlist from the first one. It took too damn long, that's for sure. I think the 84-song setlist is supposed to take around 4.5 hours.
Ok so I had to replace the drum set to RB2. I was told that it was played too much. Seriously? How is that possible? I don't play half as much as most people and I bought different drumsticks that are specially made for elctronic pad drums. Anyone have any ideas what happened?

Did you contact EA? They're pretty good about replacing stuff for free.
I did not Kerm. But thanks for the heads up. I just bought a new drum set. And I got the cymbals this time around as well.
The Beatles' Rock Band will be released on 9/9/09 (Get it? "Number Nine, Number Nine, Number Nine).
The game takes players through an "unprecendented experiential progression" of the musical career of the band. (that's from the press release)
You can either buy the software, of the instrument bundle, which comes with instruments modeled after the Beatles' gear (Rick shorty for john, Hofner violin bass for Paul, "Beatles" drum head, that sort of thing).

I am looking forward to this. Hopefully, they will do like Rock Band 2 and allow you to take songs from the previous one(s) and play it on the newer one.

The game takes players through an "unprecendented experiential progression" of the musical career of the band. (that's from the press release)
You can either buy the software, of the instrument bundle, which comes with instruments modeled after the Beatles' gear (Rick shorty for john, Hofner violin bass for Paul, "Beatles" drum head, that sort of thing).
Will the game have exclusively Beatles songs on it?
Also, a reminder that Pearl Jam's Ten comes out for download, with bonus tracks, 3/24. Guitar Hero Metallica comes out on 3/29.
I cannot wait for Ten.

It's going to be fantastic. I'll easily play through the whole thing in one sitting. I'm totally bragging.

Anyone played that 84 song setlist? If so, how long did it take you?
I did the 60-whatever setlist from the first one. It took too damn long, that's for sure. I think the 84-song setlist is supposed to take around 4.5 hours.
Well, I did it today. As much of a loser as I am, I did it. I got 4 of my friends over and we set up the guitar, bass, and drums and did some rotating back and forth. The initial intention was to try it without pausing, however, that didn't go so well. During American Woman (song 25-30 range), the bassist accidentally unplugged his guitar (I only have one new one. The other 2 guitars I have are from the original GH). Well I gave him a nice amount of shit about it because I wasn't sure if it would or wouldn't disqualify for the "no pausing" achievement. However, about 30 seconds after we started back up, I fucked it up for sure. I had gotten into a habit of pushing "back" for the Overdrive. So as I tried to push the back, I accidentally pressed pause so i fucked up that possibility. Anyway, I don't think we could have pulled it off because we had a little trouble with Vision. We couldn't pass it on the Guitar too easily. So we had to force our way through by constantly streaming the Overdrive with the drums and bass..
So in short, we started around 4, took a break for 45 minutes to go get some food, failed Visions about 10 times and finished around 12. You can fully put me into homosecksual loser status. I suspect I was already there though.
Big day in the world of fake music tomorrow.
Metallica's GH game comes out - one question I have: are all of the tracks masters? I noticed from reading the wiki this weekend that some of the non-Metallica songs (including recent personal fave Mastodon's Blood and Thunder) may not be the real deal. That would really kind of ruin it for me.
Also, Pearl Jam's Ten becomes available for Rock Band download. If you buy PJ's remastered/remixed/reanimated/rewaxed version of Ten at Best Buy in person, you get three bonus downloads that you otherwise won't find including "State of Love and Trust".
Word to your moms.

Has anyone tried the Pearl Jam songs? A lot of them are sneaky hard on Expert. Toward the end, there's always a series of hammer-ons and pull-offs that are difficult to get through. That doesn't make them NOT the shit, but they're definitely tough.

Sneaky hard on expert? Expert is fucking ridiculous.
I found them pretty tough (not fail tough, but tough) on Hard. Which is good - the biggest problem with Even Flow in GHIII was that it was so easy it wasn't even fun. They made these songs harder for sure.
I also want to add that I am a fucking awful fake drummer. I can't drum when I go past medium.

Why don't you guys pick up an actual instrument? It isn't any harder than these games.

By "sneaky hard," I just meant that the first 80% of the song is usually doable. Then, there's a wall of notes that come pouring down the screen to break my fingers.

Someone once said a similar thing to me about Madden. To make a long story short, I was in traction for 18 months.

I have two real guitars at home. I like to do both. When I pick up my real guitar I am bad. Yes, I took lessons for year and I will hopefully pick them back up.
I'm jealous as hell of people that can play cool shit on real instruments.
As far as fake drums go - I don't think my neighbors would be thrilled if I bought a drum set and moved into my place. The fake drums are pretty fun and the skill set is somewhat similar.

Yeah, "they" say that playing the plastic drums translates better than anything else to actually playing.

Electric drumsets are actually pretty cool, and are less loud than the rock band ones. I really suck at guitar hero. Too much going on for me. Wasn't very good playing tab or taking guitar lessons either. Too hard to translate in my head and put my fingers in certain spots I suppose.

Nah. Once you learn 4-5 chords you can play 90% of the punk songs I used to like.. just took time to get the strumming, finger changes down... that just took practice.

Has anyone tried the Pearl Jam songs? A lot of them are sneaky hard on Expert. Toward the end, there's always a series of hammer-ons and pull-offs that are difficult to get through. That doesn't make them NOT the shit, but they're definitely tough.
Why don't you guys pick up an actual instrument? It isn't any harder than these games.
I have two real guitars at home. I like to do both. When I pick up my real guitar I am bad. Yes, I took lessons for year and I will hopefully pick them back up.
I'm jealous as hell of people that can play cool shit on real instruments.
As far as fake drums go - I don't think my neighbors would be thrilled if I bought a drum set and moved into my place. The fake drums are pretty fun and the skill set is somewhat similar.
Electric drumsets are actually pretty cool, and are less loud than the rock band ones. I really suck at guitar hero. Too much going on for me. Wasn't very good playing tab or taking guitar lessons either. Too hard to translate in my head and put my fingers in certain spots I suppose.
Self taught? You must have the patience of a saint.
Nah. Once you learn 4-5 chords you can play 90% of the punk songs I used to like.. just took time to get the strumming, finger changes down... that just took practice.
I've got most of the chords down and a lot of finger changing and strumming patterns. I guess I'm ok at guitar then?
You could definitely play in nickelback. Or CT's favorite band.
You think I could play in Bon Jovi?
Was thinking about Theory of a Deadman. But your answer could be correct. I'd also like to add Hall and Oates and Kenny G into the mix. I know 38 Special is hockeenight.com's featured houseband.
He "likes" Theory of a Deadman out of spite. He LOATHES Bon Jovi for realz.
I'm impressed you remembered.

Big day in the world of fake music tomorrow.
Metallica's GH game comes out - one question I have: are all of the tracks masters? I noticed from reading the wiki this weekend that some of the non-Metallica songs (including recent personal fave Mastodon's Blood and Thunder) may not be the real deal. That would really kind of ruin it for me.
Also, Pearl Jam's Ten becomes available for Rock Band download. If you buy PJ's remastered/remixed/reanimated/rewaxed version of Ten at Best Buy in person, you get three bonus downloads that you otherwise won't find including "State of Love and Trust".
Word to your moms.
Bought the deluxe edition today... I didn't see anything in there about the downloads
Did you buy it from Best Buy?

Yea. I kind of expected something to be on the cover about it, but there wasn't anything. I asked one of the guys in the Media department, and he told me it should be in there. The only one that supposedly didn't have the extra downloads was the regular $15 dollar 2-cd one. I'm debating on whether or not I want to go back in there and exchange it in hopes of getting them from a different packaging.

So, to be clear, did you buy the $37 one (marked down to $27, I think)? That's the one I got, and there was a glossy sheet in there with a code on it. Maybe you ate it?

Yes. That's the one I got. There was a sheet in there giving credit to the people who took the pictures in there but not a Rock Band thing. I'll probably take it in there tomorrow. I'll also drop by there today since it's on the way home and double check with someone else. Maybe in podunk Springfield IL, they don't think we deserve the extra RB songs
This (http://news.teamxbox.com/xbox/19381/The-Beatles-Rock-Band-Limited-Edition-Announced/) is going to be awesome.

I think it's cool that you'll be allowed to use two mics and harmonize like the Beatles, but unfortunately I think a lot of their songs will be kind of boring to play. At least some of the older stuff.

Pretty sure it's impossible to harmonize even with 10 mics if it's just you sitting in your bedroom singing by yourself.

Fuck that. I'm still eating up my Toby Keith trackpack. I love it.
Rock Band 2 is so damn giddy schoolgirl fun it's sickening. The happiness we got when the achievement "needs more umlauts" was blinked upon the screen when we named our band Dër Fürbergër was just wrong.
Do they have "fly by night" yet?
Dër Fürbergër rocked the shit out of the Boston, Thin Lizzy, and Steve Miller song packs this weekend.

Spinal Tap is playing an acoustic concert at the Chicago Theater at the end of this month. I can't wait to hear an acoustic rendition of "Big Bottom" and get a picture of the marquee.

Also, let's begin the discussion of which Beatles songs MUST be included in this game. My top five are:
1. While My Guitar Gently Weeps
2. You've Got to Hide Your Love Away
3. A Day in the Life
4. Eleanor Rigby
5. Hey Jude

First off, the lack of Tap in Rock Band is a shame. I saw them at the Riv on the "Break Like The Wind Tour" and still have the damn tee shirt from that show. Any Smalls Rock Band Bass would have to include a zucchini.
Beatles songs
1. Hard Days Night
2. Hey Bulldog
3. Back in the USSR
4. Help!
5. Dig A Pony
Isn't the Tap acoustic show the three guys out of character doing Tap and Folksmen songs?
And has there ever been a better cover than the Folksmen doing "Start Me Up"?

I'm holding out hope that Spinal Tap will find its way onto Rock Band at some point.
Oh yeah, next weeks RB songs...
Social Distortion - Bad Luck
Social Distortion - Ring of Fire
Social Distortion - Story of My Life
Disturbed - Stricken
Disturbed - Stupify
Steely Dan - Black Friday
Steely Dan - My Old School
Elvis Costello - Radio Radio
The Replacements - Kids Don't Follow
Gotta get the Steely Dan, Elvis, and Replacements.
I think they need to try and release Alice in Chains' Dirt. That would be excellent.
I know Would? is coming out as a single download in the near future, but I'll hold out hope.

I had to opt for the Grateful Dead Pack 2 to finish that stuff out (I think they still have one more coming though), The Bowie Pack, and the two new Allmans Songs. There's so much I still need to grab. Damn you Harmonix for coming out with too many good choices.

My friend sent me this email - very, very cool. I would kill someone for this game. Make it work video game dorks.
Bought a 1600 point card last night for more songs and still need to pick up Ten. Maybe that happens today.
If you like fun, I'd recommend it.
I had to opt for the Grateful Dead Pack 2 to finish that stuff out (I think they still have one more coming though), The Bowie Pack, and the two new Allmans Songs. There's so much I still need to grab. Damn you Harmonix for coming out with too many good choices.
2 Allmans songs? That's about 45 minutes.
Hehe. I was trying to play Blue Sky on hard last night. The solo just killed me.
There any Grand Funk Railroad songs yet? Pat Boone, for Fork.

Pretty much all the "southern rock" songs on that game are murder. Try that Outlaws song, Green Grass and High Tides on hard. It's a 10 minute pair of solos.

I'm just trying to step up to hard level on guitar and bass. I can get through all the songs I've tried so far on bass (the Phil Lesh shit on the Dead songs can get pretty tricky), but guitar is a whole other beast. I love that I can't get through these songs yet I can play the bulk of them on a real guitar no problem.

A Rock Band band? Only if we have a perverted name that in some way references the vagina. So far I've got Dookie Cooter and Dër Fürbergër.

Even though you know I can dominate like 8 chords and possibly some barre chords, you didn't invite me? Goddamn you.

You're in! We can have as many guitar players as we want.
Now we just need a drummer. I bet I could rig up a mic to TDubb's forehead and he could hit it with a mallet.

I used to be there. I used to play on Medium only (guitar/bass). Now, I've progressed to a point where I can play 99.9% of the songs on Hard-Guitar (Visions, being the exception) and about 90% on Expert-Bass. I can hold my own on a good chunk of the expert songs on guitar but I need to make sure I have overdrive for some of the solos.
Drums. Well fuck that instrument. Any song on Medium is a bitch for me.

I pretty much only played drums on the first Rock Band, and was able to do every song on Hard except for "Run to the Hills." I started playing on Expert and could get through most of the songs until you get to the extremely difficult ones. Guitar, on the other hand, I've had some trouble with. For some reason I've found Guitar Hero easier to play, even though it's supposed to be more difficult than Rock Band guitar.

Now, I've progressed to a point where I can play 99.9% of the songs on Hard-Guitar (Visions, being the exception) and about 90% on Expert-Bass. I can hold my own on a good chunk of the expert songs on guitar but I need to make sure I have overdrive for some of the solos.
Drums. Well fuck that instrument. Any song on Medium is a bitch for me.
I pretty much only played drums on the first Rock Band, and was able to do every song on Hard except for "Run to the Hills." I started playing on Expert and could get through most of the songs until you get to the extremely difficult ones. Guitar, on the other hand, I've had some trouble with. For some reason I've found Guitar Hero easier to play, even though it's supposed to be more difficult than Rock Band guitar.

My friend sent me this email - very, very cool. I would kill someone for this game. Make it work video game dorks.
Bought a 1600 point card last night for more songs and still need to pick up Ten. Maybe that happens today.
If you like fun, I'd recommend it.
I had to opt for the Grateful Dead Pack 2 to finish that stuff out (I think they still have one more coming though), The Bowie Pack, and the two new Allmans Songs. There's so much I still need to grab. Damn you Harmonix for coming out with too many good choices.
2 Allmans songs? That's about 45 minutes.
Hehe. I was trying to play Blue Sky on hard last night. The solo just killed me.
Pretty much all the "southern rock" songs on that game are murder. Try that Outlaws song, Green Grass and High Tides on hard. It's a 10 minute pair of solos.
I'm just trying to step up to hard level on guitar and bass. I can get through all the songs I've tried so far on bass (the Phil Lesh shit on the Dead songs can get pretty tricky), but guitar is a whole other beast. I love that I can't get through these songs yet I can play the bulk of them on a real guitar no problem.

Hehe. I've got drums down on medium and need to try stepping up to hard on 'em. It's easy to get above 90% at least and usually I'd get higher if it weren't for some hits not registering. The drums are too much fun and I really want to get that damn Ion Drum Rocker thing or make a custom kit with mesh pads for the Mad Catz portable set I have now. I think this weekend I'm going to try making the custom stomp boxes for the guitar and bass for overdrive. I already disconnected the tilt sensor since it sucks but hitting the back button can be a bit tricky when trying to play the songs on hard.

I can never get 100% on drums because they don't register correctly. Sometimes it'll register one hit as a double, and sometimes it won't even register at all. It's annoying, but usually only screws me up for one note every-so-often. My old roommate's dog chewed up my drumsticks that came with the game, so I bought a new pair that are a bit bigger and heavier than the stock ones. If you feel like a nerd just playing the game, try going into Guitar Center to buy new drumsticks for it. Talk about shame.

Truth be told, the "drum tech" at Guitar Center probably knows more about Rock Bank equipment than real drums.

Green Grass & High Tides is absurdly hard on both drums and guitar. And a lot of the metal songs (Painkiller comes to mind) are stupidly hard, too.

Ugh - yes it is. I tried Painkiller on guitar on hard and actually got through it, but just barely. I failed Green Grass 75% percent through and didn't feel like trying again since it took so long, so I'm 0 for 1. Ever tried Megadeth's Sleepwalker? Holy fucking shite.
Like yeti said that Visions song is just stupid. I have no idea why it's in the game.

Yes, Visions is awful. I've never tried Sleepwalker, and it sounds like I'll be avoiding that one.
On my wonderful day of nothing to do I realized I can't even get through Sabotage on hard playing drums. Ug.

When I did that long setlist, I had some friends over to do it, and we had the drums on medium, bass on medium, and the guitar on hard. We were trucking along quite nicely until that song. We failed it at least 10 times before we finally passed it. It was all on the guitar too. Failed so many times because of me. We finally got it by me taking the first part, and surviving 20-30 seconds before I fail, then waiting until the band almost failed to pull the guitar back in. At that point, someone else was on the guitar because he did better on the "middle" part of the song. Long story, short: We basically had to manipulate the band failure (waiting until the last second, using overdrive right before the guitar failed, etc.) to survive through that damn thing. I haven't touched the song since. I'm curious as to how it is on Medium.

I'm not blaming
you. Rock Band should have all 12 non-ironic Iron Maiden fans on speeddial.
Of The Beatles' epic catalogue, 45 songs will be available on-disc. Giles Martin, co-producer of The Beatles innovative LOVE album project and Music Supervisor / Creative Producer for The Beatles: Rock Band, unveiled the first ten songs that will be available on the game-disc: "I Saw Her Standing There," "I Want To Hold Your Hand," "I Feel Fine," "Taxman," "Day Tripper," Back In The USSR," "I Am The Walrus," "Octopus's Garden," "Here Comes The Sun," and "Get Back." Additional songs will be announced at a later date. Along with these 45 songs, the entire Abbey Road album will be available for future download purchase, as will additional music from The Beatles' catalogue. It was also announced today that "All You Need Is Love," will be released exclusively on Xbox 360®video game and entertainment system from Microsoft as a downloadable song for The Beatles: Rock Band through Xbox LIVE on September 9, 2009 with all Apple Corps Ltd, MTV Games and Microsoft proceeds benefitting Doctors Without Borders

This did not escape my attention. Just this morning I was clamoring for Harmonix to step up and release something awesome soon (where's that damn Alice In Chains pack I've been dreaming about?) and then I saw this.
Awesome news.
The Bonnaroo pack coming out tomorrow has some gems on it as well.

Wouldn't a Zombies pack be better with an organ?
Is there a Hollies pack? I'm the world's biggest Hollies' fan (although, outside the Posies, there's not a lot of competition)
Good point.

Dah! Sometimes Desipio skips over a new post to take me to the one after it. MODS!
Harmonix Creative Director Josh Randall confirmed to us today that we should think of the Rock Band platform and The Beatles: Rock Band as two totally separate entities. Meaning, that The Beatles: Rock Band tracks and DLC will not be playable with any other Rock Band songs and vice versa.
So, only owners of The Beatles: Rock Band will be able to download the Abbey Road album when it's released as DLC later. There will also be no export feature for The Beatles: Rock Band into Rock Band. It's really a shame and one we hope that some licensing agreement in the future can fix.
BOO.

Maybe you can sneak in through the bathroom window and get it.
Just bring protection...maybe a silver spoon.
Don't know if anyone has seen this, but if you don't have Rock Band 2 or just want to pick up some type of music game, Game Stop is having a really good sale.

I'm debating ordering a rock band 2 bundle just for the wireless guitar and then taking everything else back to game stop to trade it in since the one by me has been giving an extra 30% trade in value on everything for the last month and doesn't seem to be stopping that deal since they don't want to take down the banner they hung outside.

That's along the lines of what I was about to ask. I'm still using an old GHIII wireless guitar and it's getting a little broken. I want to get a new RB2 guitar but I don't want to pay 70 bucks. I need a mic too - anyone know of a decent cheap one?

Just get a used mic at just about any game stop for $10. The used wireless guitars are about $25 I think, but it's hard to find the rock band ones in decent condition. I don't like the guitar hero ones as much.

Nice - I'll try that. A friend of mine got the cymbal add on - which I think is fun because it makes the cymbal noises when you hit them in warm ups, but I think it gets in the way. Yes, I realize I sound like a complete cocklunch when I write shit like this.
Kerm, that reminds me - are you able to play
and dominate on expert drums and guitar? If so....
how?

Not at all on drums (well, maybe the VERY easy songs). I usually play drums on Hard. For guitar, I can play a lot of the songs on Expert (but definitely can't dominate them). When it gets to the harder-tiered songs, though, I'm terrible. I can't hammer-on and pull-off well, so songs with a lot of those sequences baffle me.

OK, sounds like we're pretty similar then - I noticed you had some of those perfect achievements, which I can't even be bothered with attempting.
I play guitar on hard with the rare failure (Bodhisattva got me the other day at the end) and I try drums on hard for everything. I can beat most 4 star and lower drums songs and some 5 stars on hard - but most of the 5 star and especially the devil horned ones kill me. I find you really need to practice those tricky ones if you want to beat them.

The off beat kick drum hits are what kill me on hard.
Generally that's what fucks me too, but only when they come in short bursts. If they're sustained throughout the song they're no problem. It's usually the breakdowns that kill me near the end of certain songs. Like I can get through 95% of Sea and Sand and the ending destroys me every time. I will master it - oh yes.

Given their history of reluctancy to license anything to anyone, I just don't see this happening unless it's Beatles like deal. Same goes for Pink Floyd I'd think.

Zeppelin beat the Beatles to iTunes by years. I'd think they'd try to be out in front of them on this also...

As long as they keep releasing weekly content for the next year or so, I'll be fine. I'm not sick of listening to music and I won't get sick of pounding on shitty plastic drum kit either. It's way too much fun and it's great for a cheap night of boozing with a few friends.
What I heard, besides the Beatles game, is that Rock Band 3 isn't something we should be expecting anytime in 2009 and probably not until mid-late 2010 at the earliest. I think that's an excellent move.
Meanwhile Guitar Hero 5 is already on the horizon. Meh.

OK, sounds like we're pretty similar then - I noticed you had some of those perfect achievements, which I can't even be bothered with attempting.
I play guitar on hard with the rare failure (Bodhisattva got me the other day at the end) and I try drums on hard for everything. I can beat most 4 star and lower drums songs and some 5 stars on hard - but most of the 5 star and especially the devil horned ones kill me. I find you really need to practice those tricky ones if you want to beat them.
VOCALS: Any Beastie Boys. You don't even have to use real words.
GUITAR/DRUMS: "Charlene" by Stephen and the Colberts. It's insanely easy, and it's only about 75 seconds long, so if you fuck up you won't be pissed if you have to restart.
I'm an achievement points whore, though.

The off beat kick drum hits are what kill me on hard.
Generally that's what fucks me too, but only when they come in short bursts. If they're sustained throughout the song they're no problem. It's usually the breakdowns that kill me near the end of certain songs. Like I can get through 95% of Sea and Sand and the ending destroys me every time. I will master it - oh yes.
Can you get "Good Times, Bad Times"? That has the greatest single-bass-drum work in the history of ever (As great as Moon was, everything he did was with a double bass drum)
No Zep in any Rock Band or Guitar Hero game....yet.
Given their history of reluctancy to license anything to anyone, I just don't see this happening unless it's Beatles like deal. Same goes for Pink Floyd I'd think.
It would be so fucking awesome to get those bands in these games.

I agree. Rock Band is a nice thing for a group of people to do. I had some people over last Saturday. Around 15-20 and some were in the garage drinking and playing beer pong. The others were inside playing Rock Band. It's good entertainment.
I haven't been staying on top of the new content, as the last I remember and downloaded, was the Toby Keith pack, but it's a nice refresher to know that you don't always have to play the same songs over and over.
On a side note, I played the live version of Let There Be Rock (the studio version is one of my favorites to play) and that song kicked my ass as well as the drummer's ass. And the ending "play as many notes as you can" was the longest I've seen. The 4 of us got it to 100,000+ points and thankfully we all hit our notes at the end. Midway through, the palm of my hand was sore and red and the keys near the bottom of the controller felt like they were melting off.

This shit happens when you live in Bumfuck, IL
Iron Maiden is now downloading. This is going to be sick.
Stopped by Disc Replay and picked up a super nerdly Guitar Hero wireless Les Paul with super awesome Kiss graphics all over it for $15. Yays.
So, I was playing Rock Band tonight. Doing some Tug of War online. I had to play Let There Be Rock (Live). I was beating the guy pretty good throughout. We got to the end where it does the make a bunch of noise for 3 hours. The bar was fully on my side at the start. I also made noise at a higher pace than he did. It said I had 47000 when the bonus part was done and he had 35000. We both hit our notes and it for some reason gave him a blowout win. Anyone heard of it doing this? Basically stealing a win away from you?

I don't know about an entire system crashing. I know the store keeps track of what songs you've downloaded, so you can download them again, but I don't know if that's stored online or just locally on your system. I'm assuming there wouldn't be a problem getting them all back in the event of an entire system crash.

The terms and conditions are probably identical, but that doesn't mean the online management is. Does the Wii version have it's own music store, or is it all done through one of those gay Channels?

Ug, the list of songs I still need to get is getting longer and longer.
Microsoft released the info about the wireless mic they are releasing this fall. It will work with Rock Band and all the Guitar Heroes. It will be $50 just for the mic. It's the same damn mic that you can buy with that Lips Karaoke game right now with two mics for $50. Go get the Lips pack now if you think you'll want a wireless mic. For Beatles Rock Band alone it will be worth it.

Over the last few weeks I've grabbed 6 pepsi's with those yellow rock band coded caps. Turned them in for "chances" to win a free DLC track. 6 for 6.
I know how much the other Rock Band players love this stuff, but SPLOOOOOGE: http://www.gamefocus.ca/?nav=new&nid=6202
Also, I've been messing with the drums as of late. I used to be bad at Easy... Now, I've gotten to a point where I can hold my own on Medium. One thing that helped is that I was told to hold down the foot pedal when I'm not using it and do a quick hit whenever I have to use it. Any other suggestions on how to improve? I'm sure the practice portion is the biggest thing but any techniques that work well would be appreciated.

Keeping the pedal down is definitely a good tip. I started doing that and it makes a big difference. Also, on the easier difficulties, I tended to hit the pedal more with the front of my foot and kept the heel down. It's easier to keep rhythm that way for me. But when there are multiple bass notes fast in a row and/or when you're playing on higher difficulties, it's much better to keep your heel up when you use the kick drum.

The Funky Sex Farm has me ready to poke some hay.
Anyone interested in buying Guitar Hero 5 when it comes out will get a free copy of Guitar Hero: Van Halen (http://kotaku.com/5335036/activision-practically-giving-away-guitar-hero-van-halen) along with it.
Went to a "Rock Band Bar Night" out in Wheaton last night. The People from Harmonix came and brought The Beatles Rock Band along with the Ringo kit, Pauls Hofner, and Georges Gretsch. So fucking cool. The game was really great looking. Completely different playing it than just seeing some videos and screen shots. The controllers are sooooo much better than the regular RB controllers. They just feel so much more solid and look so damn cool. I loved how the Hofner had the ring of light thing on the bottom exactly where the jack is. The whole thing was just awesome. I wasn't sure how the vocals with harmonies worked but it's nothing complicated really. All vocals are just one player and that one players score.
They'll be at Beatles Fest this weekend too with the demo.

Well if you followed me on twitter......
I decided to go last minute at like 8 last night. Didn't know they were going to be there until a little before then and didn't know they were bringing the Beatles Rock Band until I got there and they were setting it up.

There's just so much Poon on the twits.
http://twitter.com/hotsecpoon
First off, Poon, do you have professional Rock Band players with you, because some of the high scores I've seen from you are ridiculous. Ranked #44 in the world in one song, I think. Pretty good. Others, you're in the top 1000.
Second, I think Weebs mentioned something about this game (Beatles) "being more forgiving", but I find that I'm hitting notes (drums) and it doesn't take it. I don't have this problem on Rock Band II from what I can recall. It's been quite frustrating to play. I've been trying to get better (experimenting on Hard) but when I'm hitting notes and it doesn't register, it just frustrates me to go back to guitar and play that.
Also, I'm not a fan of how Beatles Rock Band does the "star power" for the Drums. It gives you an out of place note in the middle of shit and can often mess up your streak. I appreciate Rock Band II's way better. It has an interruption in the song, but it gives you a few seconds to regroup on the beat. B:RB just gives you one note that if you don't want to hit it, it can throw you off. I understand they don't want to mess with the "integrity of the song" but fuck that. Fuck Yoko if she told them to do that.

I haven't played the game on drums yet, but I had some problems like that on the first and second Rock Band games. I would generally play on Hard or Expert and would have streaks interrupted all the time because it just wouldn't register a hit. I think I remember it happening with the Red "button" most often. I've never been able to get a Perfect score on any of the songs because some hits just wouldn't register. It's usually when you have a lot of notes in a row, it would either show up as not having hit the note, or it'll be a double-hit and your streak will end. It was really annoying, but I'm sure that's mostly just the wear and tear of the drum set. I have the drums from the first Rock Band and they're pretty crappy and worn out at this point.

Am I really ranked that high? I don't think so! Maybe with some DLC that not a lot of people are dl'in. I'm getting through expert on guitar and bass on everything now but not getting that many gold starred songs. I know in one of the weekly battle of the band things I did get like 44th on solo play (sure it's lower than that by the time it ended). Sometimes I get really lucky with who I match up with online. Yesterday playin The Beatles I matched up with 3 people and we were gold starring everything we tried except Helter Skelter (still only have 4 stars on that one).
Ok, with the overdrive on drums on Beatles Rock Band, you can actually hit any pad when that green one comes up and it will not mess up your multiplier if you want to keep your rhythm going and not go into overdrive. Really helps alot. I like the way you get overdrive more in Beatles Rock Band since you can get more points instead of just hitting random crap in that freestyle part before the over drive green comes up.
I did get a new Rock Band 2 kit with the drums and wireless strat when Beatles Rock Band came out for $100. The new drums and guitar help A LOT. Still want to get one of the Beatles guitars or a wireless tele that Mad Catz just came out with. They also came out with a wireless version of the P Bass which is also pretty damn sweet.

I think they have it there like 3 nights a week. I assume that part of the reason for that is so the Wheaton College students can tell their overseers that they're just going to the bar to play Rock Band, not to drink beer.

I don't remember Billy Graham doing that.
I finally started playing The Beatles: Rock Band on drums. I've been playing on Expert, and I definitely agree about the new way they have you activate the overdrive thing. That one green note is really intrusive and it's messed up my rhythm a few times while playing. Not to mention, saving those drum fills got me through a couple songs on the old Rock Band (specifically "Next To You" by The Police). So far on Expert, I can mostly just play the songs that are about 60% difficulty or less. Some of the songs have a really weird rhythm and I haven't played any really hard songs on Expert in a long time. Also, the amount of bass notes in "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" really sucks.
Get the Queen pack. It's badass.
Abbey Road pack is out.
I got Abbey Road and the Medley is a lot of fun to play all the way through....until the phone rings. Then it rings again since I didn't pick it up the first time. Still gotta grab that Queen pack.
So the Rock Band Network is live today with 105 songs! Wait. I only kind of like 3 of the songs. Bleh.
I'm probably the only person here still playing it, but next week....Axis.

I still play it quite a bit. But the DLC has been disappointing pretty much since the Queen pack, in my opinion.

I hear what you're saying as far as packs but I really enjoy the two Tom Petty packs. There Nirvana stuff is ok, not super fun to play, but still fun to have. Some of the White Stripes stuff has been good. There was another Weezer pack and the Sir Paul stuff is pretty cool. There's been some fun singles as well.
None of it is on par with the entire Axis: Bold as Love album.
We picked up the Stage Kit light show and smoke machine thingie a few months back and for $30 or less, it's really pretty fucking neat. We're having a super nerdly Rock Band party next weekend and I need to mod the stage kit to add an extended controller to it. Luckily it's a pretty easy task.
The Rock Band Network has been kinda disappointing. Aside from a couple Flight of the Conchords tracks and some more Jonathon Coulton....meh.
Keytar.

I wonder how many keys they're going to have and whether the older songs might be compatible. Also, Harmonix said they're developing new instruments (well, MadCatz is) that might actually be helpful in learning to play real guitar/bass/drums.

There's some rumor of "pro mode". No idea what it entails. I really hope they go back and re-chart songs that have major keyboard parts in them for use in RB3.
Ok, now that's a lot of new stuff, not just a rehash.

Downloaded the full Pantera album. I can't wait to play Drag the Waters and throw my couch through my window.

Oh shit. Guess I really do need a new video game system.
Hurry up and order Rock Band 3 plus the keyboard for $99 at Dell (http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/products/XBOX_360/productdetail.aspx?c=us&l=en&cs=19&sku=A4087201). Dell's deals never last long.
So, how is it?

Badass. Keytar is really fun. "The Power of Love" indeed. I think I liked the music selection in RB2 better, but there are so many songs to choose from on the Marketplace, that the soundtrack is hardly something to complain about. They basically fixed the tiny issues I had with RB2. A lot of critics are calling it the perfect rhythm game, and I agree right now.
Pro Mode is going to be ridiculously hard. I tried it (briefly) with the keytar. Very challenging.

Does your DLC integrate nicely with career mode? Meaning if you have a ton of songs will career mode stay fresh and not consist of playing Today by the Pumpkins three out of five times?

I haven't played enough to answer yet, but they added a song rating system which allows you to vote down the songs you hate, and they'll get played less. Vice-versa for songs you like. Picture Rock Band 2, but significantly improved in nearly every way. I want to give Pro Drums a shot tonight.
Yeah, DLC works itself into what is now the equivalent of career mode. Basically, career mode is now road challenges where you'll have like 4 or 5 gigs or a few songs each. For each gig they'll give you 3 choices. The pre-made on disc songs already selected for you, or two others which for me usually involve DLC. Might be random songs from rockband 1, 2, lego, greenday, or DLC, your choice from those, or something more specific like 80's, metal, 70's, grunge, etc.
They keys are fun. I gotta play em more. The woman has expectedly taken over playing them whenever we play the game.
There are still some lame problems like sorting (can't choose common dlc with others online, have to stroll through my whole list to see they have no DLC), stage kit no longer works, can only play 4-7 player with all instruments in "AIM" which makes the vocals not count at all. Can't just play with the 4 instruments and no vocals without being in "AIM" also, which is just lame.
Oh, and the times I've tried to play online some fuckhole is still always picking Avenged Sevenfold and dropping out when I pick Huey Lewis.
