Let There Be Rock Band 2!

It seems mandatory that everyone in the room sing the chorus for Livin on a Prayer and Eye of the Tiger.

I Win Swordfights

Livin' On A Prayer is fucking mandatory.

Shankusu

you should have seen the guys face when i picked hangar 18 on expert and then played the first minute with my back turned to the screen and didnt miss a note

you could see that he knew he wasnt the stud he thought he was



i need to buy guitar hero 2 for the treesixty. it has crazy on you and that means its the best music game

McCly

I keep meaning to pick up GH1/2 for 360. I want to see if I can play Freebird on Expert now.

Shankusu

the reason i could play hangar 18 for the first minute without looking at the screen was because it took me like four solid months to beat that song and i had that shit MEMORIZED


but crazy on you is such a good fucking song and i want it on rock band

My favorite moment was either playing drums on the middle and having my little brother fuck up on vocals so he just held the microphone to my mouth while I sang and got a perfect on drums and vocals

Or when I 100% vocalled Rob the Prez-o-dent on a sightread.

I grin like an idiot every time I play the Middle.
It is seriously one of my favorite songs of all time period.
It's just so fucking honest and happy.

I have a mic-stand as part of my Rock Band setup

we were playing Creep and I was on hard drums

the vocalist got a phonecall that he apparently had to take right as the song started so I yanked the micstand down to my mouth and did both without hesitating

the vocalist got really pissed off for some reason

Crazy On You and Even Rats are the best songs yet

JC of DI

There are times when I seriously consider buying a PS2 and Guitar Hero again just for Even Rats. Luckily the weekly DLC keeps that urge in check.

My favorite Rock Band moment was my friend took the mic for All The Small Things for the first time. He is a huge Blink 182 fan, and kind of notorious for not being a great singer. We're all doing pretty well on the song, until the nanaa-nana part came up.

For some reason, he loses all sense of rhythm and volume at the same time and starts yelling something like
NA NA ...NANANA... NAAA... NANA! NA! ...NAA

Everyone else in the band doubled over laughing, the rock meters all plummeted, and he stood there wondering why his rock-out was interrupted

aggggggh I had my worst night drumming in a long time

at one point I know I could have passed Down With The Sickness on expert drums but tonight I tried two notes and threw the sticks down and restarted on hard because my brain wouldn't process what it was seeing

I think it's a combination of trying to play with cymbals and not playing for a week or so

i get that all the time. usually after playing a few songs

like i'll see the notes and think "i know i can play this just fine" but then i just end up fumbling the drum sticks around and kicking randomly at the bass pedal

that's appropriate, because Tom DeLonge is also an awful singer

what's worse is that i can't pass that song at all

i really wish Harmonix would get all the songs from Guitar Hero 1 and 2 and put them in Rock Band

1 had the best track list out of any of the GH/RB games. even as covers

doublehawk00

all my friends are good at music games

that helps you realize that being good at them is not that special

Garlic Bread

i like playing drums because it helps with dexterity

guitar's whatever

Garlic Bread

i've been in an All American Rejects mood so I downloaded Dirty Little Secret and Move Along

why is move along so hard on drums

why are the hard and expert notelists completely different

DJ Eebs

move along is an abortion on drums

I mean it's one thing to be hard but it's an entirely different thing to actively make the drums sound like shit

Garlic Bread

i don't think it's that bad on expert drums. i mean, i can't play it, but it looks like it matches up with the song

i was practicing it on expert (can't get it at 100% speed) and then said "maybe i should try playing it on hard before trying to beat it on expert" and hard is like completely different

#pipe

I four starred Go With The Flow last night on expert drums

I'm quite pleased with myself.

Mr. G

I 4 starred Young Man Blues and Won't Get Fooled Again on Expert Drums today

And then my limbs fell off

#pipe

I can't manage anything with 16ths on the highhats

I turn into a retard with the kick

I Win Swordfights

I played a bunch of songs on expert

Fuck orange crush

The main rolls I can handle but that part in the chorus fucks me up every time.

no I mean like I don't like the way the drum part in the song sounds

it's possibly entirely irrational but still

Airking850

I swear to god, one of these days I'm going to gold star Won't Get Fooled Again on expert drums.

I'm like 24k away right now

DarkPrimus

Man forget gold-starring songs on expert drums by yourself.

5 stars is good enough for me.

Clint Eastwood

i enjoy medium difficulty

However I do not enjoy my guitar, which is already breaking even though I've only had it for two whole days! Thanks a lot Harmonix

DJ Eebs

I've gold starred more songs on expert drums than I have on expert guitar, I think. On the easier drum songs I can get into a rhythm and get some really long streaks, but on guitar I always fuck up on something simple. Any time I FC something or get 100% on a guitar solo I get confused.

Mysst

hey who wants to play some RB2 with me I have just started drinking and I would like to rock out.

I promise to take my cock out.

also I just told my cat that daddy drinks because she cries.

JC of DI

It has been shamefully long since I have partaken in drunk Rock Banding.

Mysst

do you have a band already or do you want to join one I make? I hate that they won't let me use Cocksure as my real band, it's not offensive the pricks

ANTVGM64

It has been shamefully long since I have partaken in drunk Rock Banding.

This happens to be my plan tonight. Though sadly my fellow band folk are my 18 year old sister and her 17 year old friend.

Okay, maybe the drunk bit is a bad idea.

JC of DI

Whichever, I've just got the game loaded up right now while I finish reading Anjin's incredible find so far.

Mysst

I will make us a band! We shall be named 'Because You Cry'

ant I will add you and if you want to join later let me know

DJ Eebs

what instruments are you guys playing

JC of DI

Two guitars right now sir.

DJ Eebs

welp it's too late for drums and vocals here, so I'm out

Moriveth

Man, I was at Fry's today and I saw a portable drum kit, which would've been perfect for where I live now

but it was also $60, waaay out of my budget

Do you mean something like this? It's an interesting idea. I wonder how good it feels to actually play on.

JC of DI

IGN reviewed the portable kit and it performed pretty well actually.

Clint Eastwood

So when you play online with other people, do you all have to use the same difficulty level?

Cuz I'd totally be down for playing with you guys, but I'm basically terrible and can't/won't learn to play anything more difficult then medium.
