1 word, addicting.

Well I got my money back on the drums from ebay and went ahead and bought the full set.

Drums take a little getting used to. Getting a little bit better. Still having trouble with the foot pedal and hitting a beat at the same time. Fun shit tho.

Playing drums on expert is very satisfying. Some songs are pretty wild, though. Look up the Transformers Movie Theme by Lion and replicate the drum pattern with your hand as a snare, keys for hats, and your hand again as a fist for the kick drum. That's how I practiced using my foot on the drums way back when. Sounds crazy til you try it.

<font color=goldenrod>Still on Medium drums...but I'm mostly 5-starring everything and when I 4-star something I miss 5 by a couple of notes

Only song that's gotten me is Seven, some crappy bonus song. Killed me for some reason and I only 3-starred it.</font>

<font color=goldenrod>Finally failed my first song on Medium: Green Grass and High Tides :(

That fast part in the middle just killed me, I lost my sequence and couldn't get it back</font>

Got wasted last night and used the mic and sung my ass off. Fun shit. The mic works great on this.

Three new tracks up.

Since Kalyx triaD is too good to post what the tracks actually are, they are:

Gimme Three Steps by Lynyrd Skynyrd
Hard To Handle by The Black Crowes
Limelight as made famous by Rush

Limelight by rush, and Gimme three steps by skynard are freakin awesome.

More rush please. Prefferably the entire 2112 overture.

Got Rush and Skynyrd. More Rush would be nice. More Skynyrd, too.

More Bowie, too.

And some Queen, FFS.

I also bought "Move Along," for anyone who wants to point and laugh at me having anAAR track.

:rofl:

But Rush and Skynyrd = ratings

Move along is actually pretty fun, as is the kill by 30 seconds to mars.

I think I'm gonna find myself buying several songs that I probably wouldn't listen to, but enjoy within the context of the game.

I know the AAR songs, but don't the 30STM ones, so I was hesistant to DL them. I try and stick to songs I know, since I know I'll enjoy them. And Move Along seemed like it'd be fun and worth the "risk."

Hard to Handle is good too. Love that song.

So when are the full albums coming? Need that Metallica Black ASAP

They're not saying.

Black was never confirmed. Whoever told you that didn't know what they wrer talking about.

And they never said there would be a full metallica almbum. Just that they had the rights to do 15 songs.

So far we've got 4, plus the upcoming single from their new album which makes 5.

All I know is they had better have Nothing Else Matters.

The fifteen tracks was confirmed after the four tracks, and the wording makes me think the new single isn't a part of it. Just saying.

Nothing actually confirmed on the Black album, though. Though TBH, if they released that, it'd pretty much be all the Met I need.

I played this. I sang the Pixies and Garbage cause I am a girl. They kept failing me for singing off pitch. Oh well/

Master of puppets would be better imo.

I want a Cars pack.

These aren't exactly incredibly hard songs but:

Just What I Needed
Moving in Stereo
Not Tonight (The New Cars)

This aint a racing game. :shifty:

Ok that was stupid.

Exclusive Rock Band DLC in February OXM
Three new tracks bundled on DVD with magazine.
By Andrew Hayward, 01/03/2008

The staff of the Official Xbox Magazine has announced that its February 2008 issue, available in stores on January 15th, will include a trio of exclusive playable tracks for the Xbox 360 version of Rock Band on its pack-in DVD. The disc will contain the following songs:

Bang Camaro - "Rock Rebellion"
Count Zero - "Shake"
Freezepop - "Sprode"

All three bands have made appearances in previous Harmonix-developed titles, with other tracks from Bang Camaro and Freezepop already included on the Rock Band retail disc. OXM Editor-in-Chief Francesca Reyes told Joystiq this morning that the tracks can be downloaded onto the hard drive for use with Rock Band, thus eliminating the need to use the disc after the data transfer.

No word yet on availability of the exclusive tracks for PlayStation 3 owners.

-Great, I have to snag an overpriced mag I won't even read for new tracks. Nice one, Mike Soft.

Yay! It's free with an 8 dollar mag!

Meh

On Tuesday, three more songs will be available for download. Each song is priced at $1.99 (160 Microsoft Points).

Iron Maiden "Number of the Beast" (cover)

The Hives "Die, All Right!"

Stone Temple Pilots "Interstate Love Song"

ffs how long is it going to take to see ghost of the navigator.

Go interstate love song!

Dammit, I want Plush. :mad:

GameStop might have leaked the newest bundle on their website. They have a Rock Band Stage Kit that comes with "Interactive light and smoke stage show".

Here's a link to the story with a screencap of the GameStop page with product picture and also has a link to the GameStop page. http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/13/r...d-by-gamestop/

:wtf:

If thats true, I am so buying that.

Great, now all they need is a fireworks ad-on and we will see a rise in house fires.

Especially with the Great White DLC up tomorrow.

Is this even released in the uk? I wouldn't be able to afford this currently, but if i ever can i might get it.

This week's DLC:

"Last Train to Clarksville" as made famous by the Monkees
"Action" as made famous by Sweet
"All The Small Things" by Blink 182

Meh
