Last new thread before Rock Band 2?? Or do we manage to fill this one up too??

Hah, that's a good point. I'll just add a 2 to the thread title and leave a wiki link for Rock Band 1 stuff. EDIT: Although we're expecting the Aussies with deep pockets to get RB1 in September or something.

Bass in "B.Y.O.B." hates you just as much as guitar does, same with the drums in both of the SoaD songs, and probably the vocals. Everything hates you, pretty much.

Life is Beautiful is a pretty good song, bass notechart is hysteria-ish and it'll probably take me awhile to get use to. I plan on picking up the two SOAD and maybe the MC song.

I finally got my first 'Big in X' achievement last night by finishing off Stockholm. Only 10 gamerpoints, but it was still strangely rewarding. Doubt I can get the rest before RB2 release though.

Here are the difficulty tiers in case people didn't want to look at the music store or elsewhere. Crüe Fest 02 "Life is Beautiful" by Sixx AM Guitar: 5 Skilled Bass: 7 Blistering Drums: 6 Challenging Vocals: 5 Skilled Band: 5 Skilled "Face Down in the Dirt" by Motley Crüe Guitar: 3 Solid Bass: 2 Apprentice Drums: 6 Challenging Vocals: 1 Warm Up Band: 3 Solid "Rescue Me" by Bcukcherry Guitar: 3 Solid Bass: 2 Apprentice Drums: 4 Moderate Vocals: 1 Warm Up Band: 2 Apprentice ------------------------ "B.Y.O.B." by System of a Down Guitar: 8 Nightmare Bass: 8 Nightmare Drums: 8 Nightmare Vocals: 3 Solid Band: 6 Challenging "Toxicity" by System of a Down Guitar: 6 Challenging Bass: 6 Challenging Drums: 7 Blistering Vocals: 2 Apprentice Band: 5 Skilled

I just saw the guitar video for BYOB, and the song title stands for Bring Your Own Ben-Gay m i rite?!?!?! ... Because your wrist will be sore after playing, you know? ... Never mind.

DELICIOUS DELICIOUS DLC. I cried while playing Life is Beautiful because it IS so beautiful. (bonus points for having read Heroin Diaries) (More Bonus points for actually hating SixxAM) (Triple Bonus Points for still Loving this song)

DELICIOUS DELICIOUS DLC. I cried while playing Life is Beautiful because it IS so beautiful. (bonus points for having read Heroin Diaries) (More Bonus points for actually hating SixxAM) (Triple Bonus Points for still Loving this song) Triple Word Score for Sixx AM!!! That would be alot of points for using all those X's

oh hey, a new thread... I was just thinking about how much DLC I need to buy. I'm already planning out how to have some sort of RB2 party when it comes out, and how I can con my wife into playing with me more so I can get a few more of those BWT achievements before RB2 comes out!!

I'm already planning out how to have some sort of RB2 party when it comes out, and how I can con my wife into playing with me more so I can get a few more of those BWT achievements before RB2 comes out!! I've already alerted my wife that Sept. 14 is Rock Band Day, and I claim all rights to the television from sunrise until we go to work on Monday. I'll also be inviting some people over, and I'm hoping that however the World Tour mode is set up lets me unlock all of the on-disc songs in time for an epic get-together. I would seriously take off from work an extra day or two solely for RB2, but unfortunately we're going to press at the magazine I work for, so such time off is verboten. It's going to be terrifying and beautiful at the same time to get RB2, import the RB1 songs, scroll over to Random Play and realize that I have 180+ songs to choose from.

So, hey, are they getting any Yes in rock band?

"Here, you work on your Vocals solo tour and I'll make dinner." Yeah the thing is I already do all of the cooking anyway. She's just kind of burnt out on the on-disc songs so the tours are not really that fun for her and we're at the point where we've expended most of the "choose your own set-list" stuff. I have figured out ways to bribe her in the past, I'll just have to come up with new ones.

So, hey, are they getting any Yes in rock band? Would be nice to see bass get some love with some Roundabout Roundabout

I kind of feel like when you're getting to the level of involvement present in Rock Band, isn't it just easier to start your own actual band with proper instruments? I wouldn't be surprised if it was cheaper, assuming you went the usual start-up band route and get the cheapest second hand gear available/steal instruments from your friend's dad's attic.

So, hey, are they getting any Yes in rock band? Would be nice to see bass get some love with some Roundabout Roundabout shit yeahhhhhhhhh. That combined with a dream theater DLC pack would give a glimpse at the evolution of progressive rock.

Studies have shown, surprisingly, that games are not the same as real life. Film at eleven.

Yeah my wife and I are going to rehearse with the other married couple we occasionally play rock band with, other than that I'll gather the people from across the country that I occasionally do BQP with to fill in. Then we'll start booking gigs at local dive bars and keep rocking out until we're rich and famous!!!!

So you can probably see the title of the other thread on the front page, but Target's got 1600 MS points cards on sale for $15 this Sunday. Time to stock up.

Wow. That BYOB chart is... insane. I'll probably get it just to see if I can beat it. The "where the fuck are you" section looks fun*. * Spoiler: show spoiler hide spoiler crazy

Drums on BYOB. Oh my god.

New Thread. I'm basically replying to I can get the blue dot to keep track of this thread. I just sent in my busted 360 to their repair center today, so I'm hoping to get it back by the end of August, first week of September, which would be just in time for Rock Band 2's release date. At least it better show up before Rock Band 2 comes out. I ordered the Ion Drumkit and I'd be really, really pissed if I got it and didn't have my 360 to try it out on right away. Also, I'm not sure if it was noted, but the Drum Rocker site now will also allow you to preorder the cymbal expansion, a second bass pedal, and/or a drum throne, as well as the Ion drumkit.

I can't wait for the imminent thread title change when Rock Band 2 hits. I'm hoping for "Rock Band 2: The 2-ening - Electric Boogaloo Harder".
