    We all lose for the FOB pack, though.

    Child In Time, awesome!

    It will certainly be epic on pretty much everything, although Roger Glover's bass work on it isn't nearly as psycho as Ritchie's guitar or Jon Lord's keyboard parts.

    Hmm...all the previous Deep Purple songs have been off of Machine Head, now they have something off In Rock. Here's hoping we get some more going forward, I'd presonally love to have Flight of the Rat, Speed King, Lazy, or Pictures of Home make their way to Rock Band.

    No matter where you go...there you are.

    Oh holy god, I could actually use that as a MIDI guitar controller for my synths

    I had no idea they'd added that functionality, pretty dang cool

    Hex-pickup strat would still be better for that though

    Pro guitar has been ordered. The excitement hasn't hit me yet. I've not played a string instrument since highschool.

    YES! I called Child In Time!

    Now, who do I contact about my prize?

    Kind of compensates for that time I called Hey Jude for the final track in Beatles: Rock Band, and didn't get it. I mean, The End makes sense, from a logical standpoint, but Hey Jude is probably the most glaring omission in Beatles Rock Band.

    Creativity begets criticism.

    Whatever happened to us playing Rock Band together, man? You used to sing all the girly pop songs while I drummed.

    I'll be picking up a new headset, so I can make with the talky whilst rocking out.

    I'll gladly join in on some hot group action, especially because I still need the half a mill and million point achievement.s

    It should also be noted that I'll happily offer my vocal chords up as a sacrifice on the Queen, Yes, and up coming Child In Time DLC.

    Look for me online sometime Sunday night or later this week.

    There's a local band that plays Sugar, We're Goin' Down and I've been wishing that was in the game ever since I started playing around with the drums and started paying attention to what the drummer was doing so, yeah, fuck the haters :lol:

    Uggh fallout boy. I'm going to have nightmares of that old dead on arrival drum chart. Fail, fail, fail, fail. Man that was tonight to get the hand foot separation going.

    It's one of my favorite song to drum now.

    Picked up a Beatles band kit yesterday ($29.99 at Toys r Us BTW) to retire some of my Band Hero equipment and replace my mic stand that got broke in a recent move. Love it - the guitar is amazing looking - but I kind of miss cymbals. How is the 3 cymbal pack? I see reviews that it can be tricky to install and a bit on the over sensitive side - any one with experience with them?

  • Santa ClaustrophobiaSanta Claustrophobia Ho Ho Ho Disconnecting from Xbox LIVERegistered User regular
    The Beatles instrument BRB kit? Really?

    Shit! I guess I'll have to look into that.

  • Lindsay LohanLindsay Lohan Registered User regular

    Yup - all band kits are $29.99 and all guitar/dj hero sets are 9.99 this week. I originally went in to get DJ Hero 2 and a Guitar Hero WOR guitar but when I spotted the Beatles kit I couldn't resist and got that instead.

  • DehumanizedDehumanized Registered User regular
    GH6 for $10? Hmm, nope, still not bargain bin enough for me to buy it.

  • ArikadoArikado Southern CaliforniaRegistered User regular
    I have purchased two cymbal packs.

    I bought the original 2 pack during RB2 with one good one and one bad one. I stopped trying to use them cause they were LOUD.

    Then I bought the newer Mad Catz ones, a 3 pack. This one had 2 good ones and one bad one.

    So I am using the 1 good (loud) one from the original set as my green and the 2 good new ones for the other two.

    I just was going to get gh6 for the guitar. I was using a pair of GH5 guitars but one of them has a wonky orange but
    ton so I was going to replace it and trade in the game that comes with it. Finding the full Beatles kit was awesome but sounds like I may hold off on cymbals given the amazon reviews I've seen.

    Yeah. I knew about the GH thing. Need to replace my GH3 guitar so that I can maybe possibly actually 'beat' that game. But $30 for a drum kit? Man, that's sorely tempting. The kind of tempting that I can't strictly afford, but man...
