I got all Sabbath's. And Fortunate Son. Gotta have Credence. And of course Metallica before I even opened the box.

Also beat In Bloom on Expert. My first completed song ever on Expert on this or Guitar Hero.

Gonna have to send my guitar in to EA for a replacement, stupid piece of shit :mad:

That Coheed and Cambria song? One of my fave tracks to sing and play guitar.

What the hell, Rock Band DLC not available in Canada yet? Gay.

Canadia sucks.

I suppose it's because the game is not released here yet, but still. COME ON.

Unless I am completely retarded and missing it somehow.

No, Blitz, you're not retarded. They're not going to release bonus content until launch, though.

Just bought the drums off ebay. Merry Christmas to me. 90 bucks.

There's some new punk track pack out. Don't think I'll get them.

When is it out in Canada?

I snagged Rockaway Beach and I Fought the Law. It's not the BFF version, but closest I'll get. Also bought the Sabbath pack last night. I have a shitload of content, and I still want more...MOOOOOOORE.

I know, can't wait for buddy holly and My Iron Lung. Wonder if they're gonna have a free song or something for the week of the 25th. FULL ALBUMS BEING AVAILABLE WOULD BE NICE THOUGH.

I'd love international tracks. There's some Japanese stuff that would be great (with translated lyrics ofcourse).

heir kom alex, or whatever it is, is one of my fav tracks on GH 3 along with avalancha.

Why not just learn to play the instruments for real? I don't understand this game.

1) I am practicing on my learner's electric guitar.
2) You're missing the point of this video game.

Would you ask a Madden gamer why he isn't trying out for the local football team? A GRAW gamer why he isn't enlisted in the army?

Guitar Hero/Rock Band are music games based on hitting notes accurately for both fun and building high scores to brag about. It's not about mistaking your skills at those games with legit musical skills, its about having fun at a videogame. Real soldiers in Iraq have Rainbow Six Vegas sessions, martial artist enjoy fighting games, and real musicians have played Guitar Hero; so actually living the craft isn't an end point that the games themselves start you off.

Now there are cases where genre games have increased interest in their respective gimmick. I'm sure Guitar Hero and Socom influenced some to start musical and military ambitions. But I imagine that effect is marginal.

What I'm trying to say is...

Don't knock it 'till you try it.

:y: :y: :y:

Come on.

I play guitar, bass, and sing.

Game's still fun as Hell.

But I've never gotten the whole "Learn to play the real thing" argument. I mean, a lot of the people who play these games also play some sort of instrument, so it's not even like they're mutually exclusive, or the idea is new.

Not to mention, the game's easier to pick up and play than a real instrument.

<font color=goldenrod>The "Learn to play the real thing" argument is a cop-out used when people suck ass at the game.

As for me, I own an electric guitar and am slowly but surely learning to play it, still have fun playing GH.

I want Rock Band so badly :( Shame there won't be more available until January</font> :(

Most of the people who say it seem to have not played it at all.

Though I wonder if they've ever tried playing a real instrument if they have. I play at least a half a dozen instruments to varying degrees, and I have all three Guitar Heroes and Rock Band.

Love it. Totally. Not great at it (I top off somewhere in expert in the first two, and
hard on GH3), but still, I don't need to be the best to have fun.

This is the closest some people (like me) will get to ever even remotely be able to play some of the hits.

Exactly. It's about feeling like a rockstar without years of arduous and tedious practice.

Or even getting dressed.

I'd love "The Reason" by Hoobastank.

Man, crappy Christmas DLC.

<font color=goldenrod>WOOOOO got this for X-Mas.

Did really well on drums on easy. Can tell my leg is gonna ache after awhile though.

Singing seems to be pretty gay tho. I can't even hear my voice.....and I've got the mic volume maxed with the lead singer completely down. The only time I hear myself is in the echo parts</font>

Still waiting for my drums, don't even know if they've been shipped yet as the guy won't respond. :mad:

Great, just checked the guy's feedback and there's 2 new negative responses saying they never got thier items or heard from the guy. :mad:

Oh, wow. that sucks.

I can't wait for the shit to be released individually.

<font color=goldenrod>The Rock Band guitar seriously sucks. The strum bar feels ridiculously loose and half the time it doesn't seem to register</font>

You might have a faulty one.

Mine works great, and I can't stand going back to the old one to play GH.

Also, new DLC up.

2 sngs by the american rejects
2 songs by 30 seconds to mars
1 song by the sounds

All only 80 ms points a piece.

The Kill by 30 seconds to mars is reccomended, but the rest you can probably do without, unless you like the bands.

<font color=goldenrod>Yeah I'm thinking its faulty. I'll just send it in for the free exchange. Kinda still prefer the XPlorer</font>

There's a shitload of faulty ones. I played a functional one, and it works ridiculously well, though I kind of prefer the GH LP.

I'll still grab one so I have two guitars (One with the extra frets...).

January 28 I think is the release date.

<font color=goldenrod>Playing a full band with 4 people = ratings :cool:

So glad they included a code to unlock all the songs (which disables saving so you can still go through and unlock them on your own)...included almost specifically for parties</font> :cool:

I... broke the foot pedal...

Oh God...

wow, this is the first time I've read up on this game and it sounds really awesome. I've never played GH before, so I don't even know how all it works. sounds fun though

Yeah, I have the mic pre-ordered. I'll probably get a guitar soon after.

<font color=goldenrod>7 guys + 7 hours + Rock Band = massively fun</font>
