It sure is.

I've seen skynard live. It's fucking better.

Yeah, except that doesn't make it any more true.

I don't know why you go out of your way to be so ridiculous then get pissed off when someone calls you ridiculous. That would be like me sucking cock then getting offended at being called a gaylord.

...Hypothetically. :shifty:

Anyway, Rock Band's release was along side an equal number of million sellers. Comparison failed. Rock Band 2 also released around roughly an equal number of million sellers. Aside from the rampant success of Black Ops, the biggest change I can find is that NPD now reports combined sales, so one has to add up the old numbers to see total sales.

It's almost like the number of hot titles is roughly equivalent, no matter how bad you want it to be otherwise. Weird.

Hard to believe wanting something to be true doesn't make it true.

Can you go back to making absurdly over the top statements about how bros don't play Call of Duty and shit, so I don't need to do more than post "lol" at your shtick?

Probably because the original was recorded poorly and likely doesn't have discreet audio for each track.

Just a hunch.

I don't really care anyway. Love the lick, can't stand the rest.

Not pissed off at all. Just disagreed with you. There can be a difference between the two, even though you consistently fail to realize it.

Regardless of whether I'm right or not, I'm more or less disagreeing with you on my statement being "ridiculous". What is ridiculous is your gay sex comparison. Just not seeing what is so ridiculous about a lot of good games coming out within several months while we're in a recession or whatever the fuck they're calling it these days, and having to choose not to get rock band 3, when you otherwise may have purchased it.

I know that I, and a dozen other people didn't buy it right away, or at all, for that very reason.

Also, wtf you you big queef, when did I ever say that bro gamers don't play COD? Maybe I said that they don't make up as much of the community as people who don't play it think they do, but that might come down to difference in opinion on what a "bro-gamer" is, so who cares.

Anyway, I beat some of your scores in RB3 the other day, so I win no matter what you say.

Kane Knight is such a gaylord.

Has anyone beat mine?

Didn't you retire?

Absolutely love this song.

Should be getting this game in a week or so, going to have to pick up a lot of Microsoft points and the Keyboard too along with it.

Rather surprised Tenement Funster made it to the list.

Yeah it's bullshit that we have to rebuy the songs that we already imported through Lego Rock Band like We Will Rock You and Champions for those of us that have pro guitar. :n:

Neither of those have an X next to them, Mac.

Didn't even realize that. That's even bigger bullshit. :mad:

What's retarded enough to pay a dollar to play along to the thirty seconds of guitar on WWRY?

Oh, right. That D Mac guy.

The only thing that really bugs me with the Queen shit is they didn't put it out until a little while before the announcement of RB3. While I understand it takes time to put out the tracks, it also takes time to develop a whole game.

Some of the redos make sense. Bon Jovi had three tracks on multiple titles, at least two of them readily predate the concept of pro guitars, keys, and harmonies. Though I don't think I'll bother with them, anyway.

But this? fuck that's lame.

I'll get these tracks because I'm a massive Queen fan, but there are few tracks I will rebuy that aren't Queen.

My bad, the Queen pack is over a year old, not under. While it's probable they had worked out much of the game in that time, it's not like they slipped it under the radar.

For Wadding

Is it audio of two guys sucking each other's dicks?

If so, pretty sure Wadding already downloaded it.

anybody got the pro guitar? Thinking of getting it soon...

Yes I do. Haven't played it in a while.

Well, another week of MS points saved.

Happy Xmas is the only one I give a shit about.

Keys are fucking hard.

Do you mean keys or pro keys? Because pro keys I can see, but keys? I've almost got the expert challenges complete.

Pro keys. No way I can bullshit/sight read any of that. I have to learn the songs altogether. And this is stuff with two or three dots, I'm not going near the demon head ratings.

Just practicing on Bon Jovi's It's My Life and Runaway. I can finish It's My Life, but not with a decent percentage.

Pro drums is funny in that my arms wanna hit the old green and blue cymbals. But It's fairly easy to adjust after a while.

Fucking pro keys. Anybody has a good handle on those?

I can totally flawless "Need You Tonight" on expert Pro Keys.

:shifty:

What difficulty are you playing? I'm mostly doing Medium. No way am I doing expert on any song that isn't retardedly simple just yet.

What's the difference between pro drums and the "old" blue and green cymbals? I only ask because my Ion kit is packed up due to space constraints, so I've only been using my RB1 kit. No cymbals. pro or otherwise.

Havn't even tried any songs yet. Just been practicing all the exercises.

As usual I dived into expert difficulty to start, I like to see how bad it can get to get a grip faster. Mostly it just means failing before the second chorus. It helps to look at keys while playing, but that means I'd have to know the song pretty much by heart. It is also the most rewarding experience in the game series to complete a chord or two, despite playing keys in the past.

The pro drums adds yellow, blue, and green cymbal icons in the game, along with the same color 'pills'. It can get confusing, but if you play drums on expert, you can nail pro expert (mostly).

Does practice mode help? haven't touched that yet.

Of course. I played the piano for 5 years, and when you start playing piano you always start with exercises and keep doing them even when you start playing actual songs. They are a huge help in getting a feel for the keys, and learning how to tell where you are on the keyboard and where everything is without looking.

Picked up the keyboard today and messed around a bit with the Exercises for the Keys and tried Imagine on Medium to see how it works. Did fairly alright but slipped up when it came to the black keys. I can't imagine what the higher difficulties would be like for it.

I've been playing mostly in the standard keys though just to get a feel for the keyboard and moving my fingers on that hand independantly. I do play the guitar so that has helped a bit especially seeing my teachers had me doing hybrid picking but there is still a way to go.

Better, in my opinion, than all the lessons, books and theory courses I took.

cool

Cool

I wish the Cash Pack had more pro guitars. Fairly easy, but still worth it for "learning purposes. Will have a pro guitar come Monday. XD

I haven't picked my pro guitar up in over a month.

I'll probably get Take Your Guns to Town, Walk the Line, and Folsom Prison.

To be fair, your music tends not to involve guitar work, but rather epileptic fits with guitar in hand.

As an epileptic, I am offended by that comparison.

Yea, that was a low blow to epileptics. My bad.

Okay, I can play accurate tabs for "Hardest Button to Button" on a real guitar, but the MK Mustang gives me a little trouble on hard or expert because it doesn't quite "feel" right to me.

Probably just gonna take some getting used to using buttons instead of strings. It's easier to shift one "button" higher than one string higher or something. i don't know. Still, cool picking along to lessons.

Beating D-Mac's scores. Should I feel good about that, or sad that he's the only pro guitarist I'm beating? :shifty:

I do love seeing that I beat someone. It's only ever Fignuts, though...

Only because I never play anymore.

I USE TA BE A CONTENDA

Considering how often I used to beat your scores, pretty sure you were never a contendah.

How are you on my scores?

Never checked the leaderboards out of a game. Would the main site track that stuff?

I effortlessly beat a few of your scores when I got rockband 3, so you probably beat songs I only played like, once.

Bitch.

Sweet

Awesome, didn't see that coming.

No pro guitar on any of them?

Might be buying the bundle for my birthday today, considering I've got a 10% off coupon for stuff at BB along with some store credit and Reward Zone coupons. Unfortunately won't end up being more than 15 bucks lower than it would be if I bought it online, though. Tax sucks.

can't you fucking read

Yeah, I read that you fucking edited it after I posted asshole.

IN THE END!

Too bad they don't have Lying from You. Love that song.

I'm surprised they have so many songs in this pack I actually like. I saw Linkin Park and expected a bunch of the new shit only Kalyx and Chester's mom like.

Like, all but one are good or better.

No Breaking the Habit?!?

Seriously LP has a few piano friendly tracks, hope to see more.

meh

There's a lot of data that can be mapped to the keys in a LP song, to boot. So even if it's not literally piano friendly, there's a lot of tracks they could use.

Ziggy and Fame for me. Love 'em.

Fame was so boring on whatever GH game it was on. I like the song, but NO.

I might get Young Americans.

Getting closer and closer to having all the songs from the first two guitar heroes in Rock Band.

And actual masters.

Thinking of selling my Pro Guitar. Every time I think about picking it up and playing it I'm like "Eh, fuck it." Just don't have the patience to step up on it. It takes too much time and practice. Just like a real guitar eh? lol

Anyway anyone here interested?

With the money I make on it I'll probably get a keyboard.

I enjoy it.

Paid 160 with shipping on it so I'd like to get at least 100 back as it is like new with the original box and all.

Fignuts, Roxer, Hasney. It's a like new pro guitar with the original box. You know you want it.

I have a real guitar. Would rather focus on that, tbh.
