From Medium to Hard, yes. By consonant sounds, I mean ending and starting rapped words properly and not mumbling them. This is seen in Epic and Sabotage. Plus the sections in When You Were Young and My Iron Lung.
So hey speaking of My Iron Lung advice please on how to say the spoken parts so they actually register because they are the only part of the song that throw me off damn it all.
Cherub Rock is brilliant when you make the jump to Expert -- it's something I never noticed in the dozens of times I've heard that song on the radio, but those drum beats and patterns are just maddening. Same with Vasoline, which sounds so simple when you hear it but then when you play it it just blows your mind.
Vasoline was the first real roadblock I came on in Expert. It's still mentally an "oh shit" song, even though I know that I can go back and play it just fine now.
Similar to a drum fill but on any instrument, including voice.
Fill section comes up and you can do whatever you want. The game just records what notes you hit. Your opponent has no notes in this section. Then the game replays the notes you played to BOTH OF YOU, and the one who does better gets a bonus. Sort of a dueling banjo thing where they have to try to repeat a lick of yours, but to keep you from hitting random junk, YOU have to be able to repeat it as well.
That could be fun I think, and should be doable online as well even with lag.
That's awesome -- I had a very similar idea but wasn't sure how to accommodate for people just randomly flailing on the keys. Having the originator play it is perfect. I'd totally be on board for this, although I don't know if generating sounds to match the notes on the fly would work well enough for it to be fun.
There's no reason not to have this for drum-on-drum action, though. I remember seeing a recording of an older live Metallica show where James Hetfield got on a second set and he and Lars did the straight head-to-head competition. Good stuff.
I still think any vs. modes still work best as either tugs of war or straight score duels.
Uhm...total stars? I think we've almost got 2,800, we could go back and 5star everything we 3-4 starred early on. We're at like 4million fans since my sister injured her hand so she's not really into playing the harder songs on Expert for a while.
And yeah, I kind of figured that they must have been restarting multiple times to lose all their fans. But it takes a lot to lose that many fans. I know on Expert BWT, if you leave a set, it's like 380,000 fans or something.
I meant to ask this ealier... you've got 2800 stars - which I'm going to assume means you've done most of the BWT - and you've only got 4 million fans? am I missing something?
my band's only got about 1100 stars, but we're in the 35 million fan range...
I just want to mention that I sent a friend request to PA Rock Band last night. My Gamertag is Carnival Man. For anybody else who might be interested, as well. I only have the software so I'm only really available for guitar/bass.
I could do vocals with the headset, but I haven't really done much with that yet. Except to prove to myself that I've been far out of practice as a real singer and that singing in the shower/car is much easier when you don't have to worry about singing with the correct pitch.
Currently the only DLC I have is the 3-pack that came in OXM. I'm planning to get more when I get my next check.

Cool, maybe 3000 is the max? We have 2350 and I was wondering how many more there were to go, hehe.
Smudge, what about the bottom cross bars on your drum pad stand... did you have to remove them?
Didn't have to remove anything from the pedal, not sure what you meant by bottom crossbar... do you have a picture of it? Don't think my pedal has that, but not sure exactly what you mean...

When you quit a set, you lose fans. If they are just going for stars, and they mess up song 2 in a 3 song set maybe they are quitting out so they don't have to play song three?
Leave GH3 boss battles and anything remotely close to it the hell out of Rock Band. True headcutting would really be about playing a lick that your opponent can't or getting a higher score/chain of notes, not taking turns playing while cutting each other's strings and kicking each other in the balls. It's not about gimping each other's gameplay, it's about perfecting the song, so really anything that takes the very video game-y approach that GH3 tried would just turn off a ton of people that flocked to RB in the first place.
True band vs. band score competitions would be really cool, though.
If both were there and it wasn't forced on you in world tour, it's nothing more than hating on someone else's preferred playstyle. Personally score v. score would bore the shit out of me. It already does online. I like the varied aspects of the powerups and I'd love to see them present in a duel mode or band duel mode.
But if a boss mode is forced, then I can very much see this gripe.

you can see where teh bass pad is, I'm missing those 2 crossbars that go between the 'feet' of the stand for the pads... It's a little unstable, but still playable. I'd like to somehow attach it all together. Did they ever come out with that 'fake' bass drum thing they were gonna do for the RB drum kit?
When you quit a set, you lose fans. If they are just going for stars, and they mess up song 2 in a 3 song set maybe they are quitting out so they don't have to play song three?
ah... yeah, we're actually trying to get as many fans as we can... if we don't have to quit out, we don't. (Altho, there are a couple songs in RB that I'd be happy to never play again, and it's inevitable that the sets we need to play have them, or they get selected in random... )
I can't seem to play this game for more than 5 minutes anymore. I get bored, and shut it off, and go back to TF2.
Clearly you have no soul.
Seriously though, I find that this game isn't that fun on solo guitar. I much prefer GH3 for that since frankly the guitar parts are just 10x more interesting. For some multiplayer action though, Rock Band just cannot be beat.

Different strokes and all. I have approximately 14.4 times as much fun playing solo guitar in Rock Band, because the songs are great and the parts all blend together. The only remote advantage I saw in GH3 was the difficulty, and after blazing through Expert I literally haven't picked it up since. I might pop through it again with the Precision cheat on so that I don't feel like I can hose my way through everything, but the market's big enough to accommodate both games.

That was the thing -- they were forced on you in GH3, and I think that's why so many people hated them. I agree that if they were optional and as a fun aside or multiplayer option, then hey, pop 'em in and I don't have to touch them if I don't want. Then everyone's happy.
So hey speaking of My Iron Lung advice please on how to say the spoken parts so they actually register because they are the only part of the song that throw me off damn it all.
I always just sing them the same way generally that they are sung for the last repeat. It's hard to hear his actual voice on that part because it's all distorted, but I hear him more or less singing the lines forcefully through gritted teeth kinda. And it's like an unstressed - stressed pattern: the HEAD - shrinKAHS - they-wahn - ev-rah-thin - my - UHN-cle - BILL mah-beh-lih-sha-beee -CAHHN

We did everything on Hard up until recently. It's only myself (Vocals) and my sister (Guitar). We've done a few shows on Expert. We haven't been able to pick up more fans until now since the Hard mode fan cap is at 600,000 or something.
We did Endless Setlist last month on Expert and we dropped from 800,000 fans down to 244,000 fans thanks to 14 failures on GG/HT (and one on Dead On Arrival) and we just quit after that. After that, we didn't bother with Expert except when playing online. We got our confidence up and started to do the 10+ song setlists on Expert and we're now on about 4mil fans or so.
We started BWT on Medium and only went up to Hard when it was required to continue.

I can't clear the rap parts of My Iron Lung consistantly.
Pretty much what Molotov said. I've never gotten more thn 98% on My Iron Lung. If I hit the first rap section fine, I'll miss the second one. Or vice-versa. The perfect will elude me. Plus, from what I've read, you need to nail those sections to gold star it.
If you have a good drummer, you can have the guitarist just fail out then revive him right before you're all about to fail out. That's the cheap way to clear it on BWT your guitarist(s) can't do GG/HT. The vocal part for both long guitar solos is all percussion hits, something like 150+ tabourine hits on the second solo or something obscene.
When we did it, I had no choice but to use a full bar of Overdrive (as a vocalist) right before my tambourine section showed up and let my sister work with that for the first 30 seconds of the solo. From there, she used her Overdrive and concentrated on hitting the Energy notes in the solo to keep it going. But even with that, she couldn't get beyond half of the second solo.
However, I think we could nail it now once her hand heals. I used to be the better guitar player but she totally shits on me now.

What was bad was that I woke up one morning to the classic rock station and I hear those familiar notes.
"No... that can't be... not.... AHHHH! IT IS!!! GG/HT!" I mean my alarm kicked in just as the song started. I thought I was reliving a nightmare.
I do fine on GGHT... it's just the very end on expert... well... the last 2 minutes of continuous meedley meedley if you know what I mean... my fingers lose the rhythm and then that's that... I can have the bassist save me (if he's not completely farking it up) but you just get dropped right back into the meedlies.
I don't know, I just seem to be bored with online play if I have no mic, and solo drum makes me go to sleep..
This game just isn't that fun anymore.
Edit: plus i'm sick and fucking tired of hitting notes and they don't even register. it's like i'm doing the same beat, same tempo for a good 30 secs. Then all of a sudden it just decides not to work.
One thing I keep hearing and I am not sure if its just people talking out there ass or actual merit to this statement but regarding playing the drums on Rock Band, if you are able to clear expert without breaking much of a sweat would you be able to play drums on a real kit. (barring some techniques that you cant do with RB)
any actual drum players out there that can answer it. I kinda believe it but I would rather hear it from a variety of horses mouths.

As has been said, it could be your drum hardware. However, since you mentioned playing the same tempo for a length of time I'd like to point out that if your tempo is slightly off from the song's eventually you'll fall far enough out of phase to miss a note. The longer the stretch, the easier it is for this to happen. Try listening more closely to the song as you play it rather than going "oh, this pattern" and just continuing at whatever tempo you're in.

Well you would have a head-start on playing actual drums but you would still have a LOT of work to do. Real drums have 6+ drums/cymbals and 2+ pedals, for starters... then there are dynamics and advanced techniques, not to mention that you don't have a screen keeping the tempo for you and telling you what to play :0)
Basically limb independence and some stamina is all you're going to get out of RB drums that will transfer directly to real drums.
There's obvious accounting for individual skill, but I feel pretty comfortable saying the drums are the hardest part of Rock Band, so while there are a ton of phrases I can use to describe them "puts me to sleep" would be pretty low on the pile, especially if you're playing on the harder difficulties. It does sound like you might a janky drumset, rakuen.
Plus, given new songs every week on the dot, I'm not sure how people could really find Rock Band boring.

Limb independence is a good start, and what you stated was kinda what I thought the answer was going to be, thanks for the info.
Yeah, as a drummer you want stamina, rhythm and limb independence. Real rock drummers are going at it for 2 hours or more with varying degrees of intensity.
It makes me wonder how Danny Carey of Tool is able to go on for an entire set with little trouble.

If nothing else, I think it'd be a great start. You won't pick up things like inflections or proper accents from playing Rock Band (in fact, trying to play proper accents can work against you in RB because it can cause the game to miss the low-impact notes!), but it'll give you some solid limb independence and will help you learn what it feels like to keep a steady beat.
and as someone who hasn't the money or courage to bang on a normal drum set, rock band has given me the confidence to try now.
I have had several "breakthroughs" regarding leg independence and timing that I know will carry over to a real set, I'm quite excited to play real drums now.
and I knew this game would teach me to play drums, and it does.
A billionty times more than GH ever hoped of being like a real guitar at least.
This game finally showed up in my backwater area in the Great White North (yay 3 month delay!) and it's pretty awesome. Drums are "easier" than I anticipated. I actually 5 starred the 4th song I played on Easy and am 4 starring just about everything with ease, just shy of 5 stars most of the time. I think I need to adjust the positioning though. I wish you could angle the pads downward slightly, but I'll fiddle with the height or try a different chair.
The guitar is a little weird. It feels like the hitbox or whatever you call it (space where it registers a hit) is a lot smaller than in previous Guitar Hero's. Like the margin of error for a strum has to be pretty accurate. I went from FC'ing everything on Medium to 97-99% range on most songs. Might just be the new guitar being bigger and having different strum. Hopefulyl more practice and I'll be used to it.
Sorry if this has been answered in the last 1900 posts , but is there a website anywhere that lists which tracks are in each of the unique setlists? Like, I just did the Heartfelt Hits setlist, and I would have loved to practice falsettoing through I'm So Sick before taking it on.

You can press Yellow before doing it to see whats in the list. I don't know of any website that lists them all.

The key is in the setlist order. He gets lots of rest during those songs with long, drumless intros. ;-) Man, now I wanna go to another Tool show. Thanks. :P

after mocking my friend for breaking 2 different drum pedals mine finally bit it right at the hinge at the bottom.
My warranty is up so how much does it cost to replace one, anyone know?
temporarily it seems a super glue mix is holding, and i'm going to slather it in epoxy glue or something or another to see if i cant limp it out with this one for a while.

From what I've heard they aren't being very strict about the warranty. Have you RMA'd anything yet? If not, how are they to know you didn't just get the game for Christmas or something and have only had it a month? You could try RMA'ing it still, worst they can say is No.

I have had several "breakthroughs" regarding leg independence and timing that I know will carry over to a real set, I'm quite excited to play real drums now.
and I knew this game would teach me to play drums, and it does.
A billionty times more than GH ever hoped of being like a real guitar at least.
The guitar is a little weird. It feels like the hitbox or whatever you call it (space where it registers a hit) is a lot smaller than in previous Guitar Hero's. Like the margin of error for a strum has to be pretty accurate. I went from FC'ing everything on Medium to 97-99% range on most songs. Might just be the new guitar being bigger and having different strum. Hopefulyl more practice and I'll be used to it.
You can press Yellow before doing it to see whats in the list. I don't know of any website that lists them all.
The key is in the setlist order. He gets lots of rest during those songs with long, drumless intros. ;-) Man, now I wanna go to another Tool show. Thanks. :P

My warranty is up so how much does it cost to replace one, anyone know?
temporarily it seems a super glue mix is holding, and i'm going to slather it in epoxy glue or something or another to see if i cant limp it out with this one for a while.
From what I've heard they aren't being very strict about the warranty. Have you RMA'd anything yet? If not, how are they to know you didn't just get the game for Christmas or something and have only had it a month? You could try RMA'ing it still, worst they can say is No.
