Strange thing is, I just rented the game today and basically blew through the whole thing in a couple hours. I had to download an update when I first played. When I just turned on to try the Strat, it gave me another update (mind you, less than 12 hours after the first).
Maybe that had something to do with it?

They must've patched it in then. Cause it works on mine. Just tested it.

What the fuck are you talking about? In the RB2 picture? The thing at the bottom that isn't pink, nor resembles a balloon? What about it?
I was talking about the picture in the Joystiq article, about how the strat doesn't work in GH: Aerosmith. It looks fake, because the sides of the pink balloon thingy overlap in such a way that it looks like they just copied the top part of it and flipped it upside down.
For anyone interested on vocals for Promised Land, they're not that bad. There's a steady mix of high and low for the most part and my sightread without ever hearing anything from this song yielded a 97% in Band Quickplay.
However, I would like to know what moron at HMX decided to have the last phrase immediately before the Big Rock Ending be an energy phrase. I mean, at least the one in Ballroom Blitz makes sense in a band but there's nothing to gain from it whether you chain it or no.
I went ahead and picked up 3 songs from the Judas Priest album and Action since I've been peer-pressured into getting those.

Nice, which Priest songs did you get?
Electric Eye, Riding on the Wind, and You've Got Another Thing Coming.
Good picks all, Riding on the Wind is especially fun if you try and actually match Rob's screams. It brings instant groans from anyone in attendance when I pick it on vocals (you understand, given my range and stylings). Although a couple of the holds on "wind" about make me pass out, the man has too much lung capacity.

I got a FC Sightread on Riding on the Wind. Wasn't hard at all. You Got Another Thing Coming...on the other hand...
EDIT: Might pick up a GameBridge if I can grab one on the cheap. I feel like recording PA Band hijinx.

Yeah, I can't get through YGATC on anything past medium, it's the only one of the Priest pack I haven't passed on hard. As for Riding, yeah it's not that hard, but it is damn fun to hit those screams.

I wish they could rig up some way for the sound of the vocalists to come through Live (without delay). It would feel much more like the vocalist is a part of the band.
Of course, it would have to be optional. I shudder to think about playing band quickplay with randoms with this feature in.

Gamebridges aren't cheap anymore unfortunately, but good luck trying to get one.
Yeah, I remember about a year, year and a half ago you could pick on up for under 40 bucks. Now it's closer to 200. Damn thing cost more than a barrel of oil.

I just used this $40 budget capture card and got that video I shot. Though the gamebridge seems to be able to get a lot better quality, I don't know if I could squeeze out $180 for one.
I dunno, since its a band listing, maybe the vocals are so easy on that Dream Theater song that they knock the average waayyy down.
I doubt it. LaBrie isn't the biggest of best vocal acrobat in the progressive or metal scene, but he's no slouch either. And Panic Attack would be a mix of sing and talky, I don't think it could knock it down that bad.

Considering it's under the Solid difficulty level, I'd say odds are the Panic Attack would be the Finger Eleven one.
I don't see a Dream Theater song with anything less than Nightmare to Impossible on every instrument, save vocals.
It also says 'Solid 2 Songs' and theres clearly more than 2 songs in the picture, so I'd say its not conclusive at this point, assuming its real. It could still be a shop anyways. But I'd think Dream Theater is a much more requested band than Finger Eleven given how many people I see online are such huge fanboys of them, I haven't listened to much of them myself but I'd still think thats who they are referring to with that song title.
Also I wouldn't think Ace of Spades would be listed under Solid either.

It was probably already in there, as it's possible for Xbox360 games to 'unpatch' themselves. Once in a while Rock Band will lose it's Music Store patch on me.
If i remember my fooling around with both guitars, the issue GH2 and GH3 had was the fact that on 360, the game probably just checks (i'm simplifying this) for the controller to say "Guitar Hero" somewhere in it's ID string. In short, they'd pick up the Strat as a regular controller. Which constantly holds down the green fret.
In theory, they could patch GH2 to use the Strat. Rock Band lets you use GH controllers by simply checking the IDs and knowing they are a guitar. I imagine it was the same patch they were going to issue for Rock Band PS3 before Activision cockblocked it.
But it seems a bit easier to do this stuff out-of-the-gate, so I'm willing to to bet GH:WT will let you use the Strat now, and Rock Band 2 PS3 will have GH compatibility.

It could've also been something they forgot and will be patching back in. But I hope not.

About freaking time, if you ask me.
Shit, really? I'm gonna go try this right now. Maybe with my Strat, I'll enjoy the game a little more than with the Les Paul.
EDIT: It's true! It does work!
Hell, if this keeps up, maybe I'll actually buy World Tour.

Chuck E. Cheese would have been a great venue to have in Guitar Hero III. They already have the anamtronic band members down pat.

Those are some excellent choices. Do you already have Screaming for Vengeance? Because that track is a lot of fun to sing.

Nothing special but I figured it would make sense to post it here since we love the rock band and all.

Anyway, Yeah. I can't see a dream theater song being under "skilled songs". ever.
Yeah, I can't get through YGATC on anything past medium, it's the only one of the Priest pack I haven't passed on hard. As for Riding, yeah it's not that hard, but it is damn fun to hit those screams.

I always enjoy hearing what vocalists sound like while contorting their voices to play Rock Band as it wants to be played. :P
You sound like you might be a good singer independent of Rock Band.
I've thought about getting one a few times. It would be neat to be able to record myself playing sometimes.
I wish they could rig up some way for the sound of the vocalists to come through Live (without delay). It would feel much more like the vocalist is a part of the band.
Of course, it would have to be optional. I shudder to think about playing band quickplay with randoms with this feature in.

Although to be fair he's a lot better on the original Dream Theater stuff.
And it's live. So he's probably drunk or high or something.

Also I wouldn't think Ace of Spades would be listed under Solid either.
But maybe I'll dash my own: assuming they were going to add DT, wouldn't Panic Attack be kind of a strange choice for a first song?

Probably in line with what they usually go for on eBay. I probably should have picked one up way back in 06 for about less than $20 at Fry's.
