LTTP but I just was just informed, from another PA'er at lunch, that Rock Band IS Game Only. And I also understand that the 360 version is compatable with the Guitar Hero controller.
My two questions are, first, does that also include the Red Octane X-plorer Controller?
and secondly if you are playing the single player version does it still show all three or four instrements on the screen or will it default to look like the GH3 version/
1) Yes, any GH guitar meant for the 360 will work with rock band.
2) It is like GH, only your instrument shows.
Almost half of Creep on Expert Guitar is made up of those runs where you sit on one string and noodle endlessly. I'd be amazed if anyone here could ever 100-percent Creep.
And sorry I cut out your shilling last night, K, but I'll be sure to check your band's MySpace tonight.
I'm glad you say that, because I've done it. However, it was not a "FC" as the kids call it these days. I lost my streak a couple of times through the noodling, but apparently I did hit all of the notes.
Are there any plans on changing the way the 360 recognizes downloaded songs. The wait to play the game is getting ridiculous. I can only imagine how long it will take once 2008 is over and I have 200 more songs. I'm already at 102 combined with downloaded and the original pack ins.
I need to get an animated gif of the guy bashing the symbols for an avatar...
Um, how long does it take? I've got a PS3, and it takes probably 2-3 seconds to check for save data when the game starts... That's with roughly 95 songs.
Close to a minute now. Xbox's DRM is the issue I'm sure. If any of my friends owned a PS3 I would have gotten that version but I'm the only person I know who has one so my choice was made for me. Hell I might still buy it again on PS3 is theres that big of a difference in validating downloaded content.
Damn. That sucks. Yeah I've gotten almost all the DLC and there is literally no difference from when I had none of it, still loads in about 2 seconds.

Yeah, 100%ing Creep would be a piece of cake. FC'ing, on the other hand, would take a bit of practice.
So can someone explain the difference between 100% and FC? I thought FC was full-combo, which means you hit every note, right? Or is there something else to it?
So, I think the guys upstairs picked up Rock Band and are rockin' the drums. The whole house is shaking...
Should I beat on the ceiling with a broomstick? ;-)
Wow is this the most awesome case of being the source of your own trouble or what? What if you go up there to complain and the lead vocal is the lumberjack? Do you forgive them?
I really feel like I am missing out on the game as long as I don't have muted pads for some reason. I am playing around with ordering some muter things, but are they significantly more expensive than doing the job myself? Also, what if I need to send the drums in again, can the pads be used for another one?

By law, I don't think your allowed to do this. It would be like Uwe Boll complaining about his movies sucking. YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHAT YOU WERE STARTING.
If you overstrum, does it still show as 100%? I always assumed it would just say you "missed" notes by hitting notes that weren't there, but I've never really been in that situation myself.

Yeah, you can break your combo and if you correctly strummed every note, it will show it as 100% just the same as it would if you didn't break your combo.
So, had a whole bunch of people over today. I was the singer. I think I could've sung around 35 songs, around five more I sung whilst playing bass. (without a mic stand though, I had to put it in my sweatshirt so it was pointing directly into my throat)
Hilarity followed. Including having to sing while on the phone ("PAUSE THE FUCKING GAME GUYS I'M ON THE PHONE"), singing Tom Sawyer disturbingly like Geddy Lee, having to sing Run to the hills seven goddamn times before the guys on expert bass/guitar didn't fail during the solo, and being overly enthusiastic on ballroom blitz. (ARE YOU READY STEVE?)
Also having to play Welcome Home and Dani California on Singer and Bassist? I had to mumble/grunt/hum almost all of Welcome Home. At least I knew Dani California.
I just picked up the February issue of OXM and it was worth every penny. Hell, the Freezepop is worth the price of the mag/disc. Also, if you guys didn't know, there's an article in there on how to fix any of your Rockband instruments if they bust. They're hella detailed and it may be worth it for anyone that wants to open their instruments up.
I also bought a 2800 point card to get me some delicious DLC.
Rock Band is awesomely fun.
The Marketplace refuses to accept my card as valid. I just wasted 40 bucks and EB will essentially tell me to go fuck myself because there's no way they're liable.

Whatever. Limp Bizkit would be fucking fun to hell to play, and Fred Durst can't sing his own songs that well, which will make it even more fun.
I mean come on now.
Nookie.
This, right here, is the absolute strongest argument for DLC. If FyreWulf ever gets his wish for crappy music on Rock Band, I don't ever have to hear it. On the flip side, I'll take as many Police songs as I can get, but having four available to me doesn't mean that someone who doesn't like the Police has to pay for more than the one that's on the game by default.

I need to play some Rock Band to calm down.
You might be trying to redeem it at the wrong screen. I've done this a few times too. You can't do it straight from the "redeem code" menu option, oddly enough. You have to navigate to the DLC, then go to buy it, then when it says "you need to add points" there should be a "redeem code" option there.

Huh? I've redeemed all of my cards so far by selecting Redeem Code on the main Marketplace menu.
It seems as if the note bars and score are done in bright white. After playing on my plasma for a couple of hours I start getting some ghosting images. Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this. It seems as if it's only a problem with Rock Band cause it really is the only game that I seem to play for hours at a time with totally static images.

Yeah, you totally can redeem them using the main marketplace button.
Quick dlc question. So I downloaded a bunch of songs over the past few weeks to get me some more rocking tunes. The songs and everything work fine when I am at home with my xbox. However I took everything to a buddy's house to rock out. He has a 360 so I just brought along my HD. Hooked everything up and started up the game only to not find any of the downloaded tracks. He doesn't have internet as his house. So I guess my question is do you have to be connected to live in order to use downloaded songs?

That's burn-in, which only happens with brightly colored static images. It happens easily with plasma sets. Fortunately, the image needs to be on there for a crazy amount of time for it to be permanent. Run the 360's music visualizer in full screen for a while between play sessions to help it wash out and make it less likely to become permanent.
Also, if your set is newer, this will happen less as it ages.

If you are playing on his 360, then yes, your profile must be signed-in to Live. If you take your 360 over, you can use the DLC without being online.

The Police have something other than Message in a Bottle?

Thanx, I owe you a Coke.
LIZ: Different.
VOICE-OVER: It's September 24th, I'm Liz Parker and five days ago I died. But then the really amazing thing happened. I came to life.

Challenge them to a beard-off.
Aslong as you keep it rolling with other simile cliches;
"Damn kids and their rock and roll music!" etc
that isn't an fc

On second thought....
Next time you should program it so that you can kill-switch any Rock Bands in a one mile radius.
This is the best suggestion I've ever seen. To anything. :^:
Yeah, you can break your combo and if you correctly strummed every note, it will show it as 100% just the same as it would if you didn't break your combo.

RB needs Ted Nugent and Limp Bizkit.
kthnx.
you get out!
but moss, really, this game needs built to spill
when I was little someone pointed out to me
Fuck. Yes.
Whatever. Limp Bizkit would be fucking fun to hell to play, and Fred Durst can't sing his own songs that well, which will make it even more fun.

That multiplayer for GH2 and the guitar pedal will come any day now!
any day....
My stepfather looks just like David Bowie, but he hates david bowie
I think Bowies cool
I think Lodger rules
I think my stepdads a fool.
Both of these songs would be awesome.
I bought Rock Band today. That part is kickass.

I don't envy you...
The answer is clear.
Play the drums much louder. Bring them to shame.

Better yet, you and some of your co-workers need to challenge them to a battle of the bands. For money or some other suitable reward.

Apparently, since there's 4 Police songs and Message in a Bottle is mysteriously not found.
Which baffles me, since I'm almost certain The Police had Rock Band in mind when they wrote the song.
Speaking of the police... *buys the song pack*
EDIT: And it wants to download SO SLOWLY! ARGH!
Message in a Bottle was in GH2. I think they'll be waiting a bit before they recycle songs they used in earlier games.
like War Pigs? :P
