assuiming the leak is real, I can wait. There are good songs, but there's no Hotel California type song this time around for me.

I'll rent and give them a chance. I might take a liking to it, we'll see.

Kinda wish the Rammstein song was Sonne.

that set list is pretty "hot"

YES FUCKING A RIGHT

Maybe Rock Band 2 DLC will get it. Hopefully

I agree, worth getting it alone just to play 'Deadbolt'

Nah

the set list definitely has some must have songs for me. will probably pick it up. dire straits ffs.

Judith is on this one...finally something I can play over and over and not get sick of.

You know, for someone who gets tons of shit for having a shitty taste in music, you sure do seem to like to say what's good and what isn't. I'd think you'd be a little more tolerant at this point.

NEWS FLASH: People have different tastes in music.

:rant:

Seriously D-mac.

Kinda come off a little douchey. We heard you the first time.

Makes it look like you don't want other people to have fun.

JUST SAYIN

Yeah, I don't need another plastic guitar, thank you.

They pretty much admitted it's the same thing except for the touch frets being digital rather than analog (one of those rare cases of downgrading to improve), and the strum bar having texture to it to reduce chances of slipping (good idea). Guess they were pleased with the WT guitar, though I'd say this proves they have little ideas to add to the genre.

When they announced that, they also announced they had a thirteen minute song in the pipes.

honestly, I think the WT Guitar had one of the best improvements ever: Placement of the back button so you can OD/SP with it without moving your hand. It seriously is just hat good an idea. I'm not sure you can fault them for nothing big, though, as RB2 and even TBRB don't have significant improvements on their guitars. And those are the guys who aren't just in it for the money. :p

I'm just gay for three-tier fret buttons. Probably won't see that this generation (aside from that $200 3rd party axe).

And then you wouldn't rest until we had 144 buttons and six strum bars to better replicate the guitar experience. And effects pedals, and so on.

I hope to God that shit doesn't happen. Mostly because it'll piss you off, but also because it's fucktarded and further clutters a simple game. If you get your way, there will come a point where the douchebags saying "get a real guitar" will be completely validated in doing so.

Shut up.

Actually, he makes a very strong point.

Shut up.

RedOctane unveils Guitar Hero 5 drums

by Griffin McElroy { 3 hours ago } http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.jo...001xbox001.png http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.jo...intendo001.png http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.jo...station001.png
We're guessing that of all the tiny plastic instruments you've collected in your den, drum sets are still the most uncommon. Therefore, you may be able to scrounge up a smidgen of enthusiasm for the image above, which depicts the drum peripheral that will come bundled with select versions of Guitar Hero 5 when the game launches this September.

This revelation brings up two interesting points -- first, RedOctane is viciously taking the wind out of the sails of Logitech, who revealed its own cymbal-equipped drum peripheral yesterday at an unwelcoming price point of $229. Second, it looks like the leaked pictures and list of features we received earlier in the month were legit -- and as you surely know, every time a leak is proven legitimate, an angel gets its wings.

I'll stick with the $30 RB drums.

I'll stick with the Ion kit.
