========================
I need more info on Rock Band!
For starters, there is the Rock Band WikiPedia page that is up-to-date for the most part. The folks in this thread are more than happy to answer any quick questions you might have. You can also mosey on over to the revamped rockband.com and check out all the info they have.
Oh man, this game is awesome! But I'm stuck on...
Hold on! As usual, there are people out there far better than you that full combo "Freebird" on Expert while upside down on leftmode with their ear lobes. For the most part, you can find a gold mine of info and help by visiting the ScoreHero Rock Band forums and checking out the stickied topics and subforums.
So, what songs are in this?
This WikiPedia page has them all listed and sorted accordingly. The PS3 and 360 versions have a Music Store in it that allows you to buy/download the weekly DLC.
Hmm, I want to see the notecharts for...
Pretty much any on-disc song can be found on YouTube. If you want to see notecharts for DLC or simply want to hear the music, check out the Rock Band DLC Song Database page.
Fuck, PS2/Wii don't get DLC, right?
Sadly no. However, there is a Rock Band Track Pack Vol. 1 currently available. The second volume is supposed to come some time in October. It was announced in October 2008 that the Wii version of Rock Band 2 will allow for DLC albeit in a limited fashion (SD card streaming/swapping). The Wii version will start out with the upcoming DLC available at first and then retroactively allow older DLC to be available. Due to Nintendo's policy, Harmonix cannot sell DLC in packs or albums on the Wii.
Dude! This game totally needs...
Yeah yeah...we know. How about you go tell Harmonix what you want in the game via their Song Request page. Will they listen? Who knows. But with all the awesome they've thrown on us every week, there's always the possibility...
GOD DAMMIT! MY GEAR IS BROKEN!
Harmonix/EA/MTV have been nice so far and allowed people to RMA their broken equipment via EA's Support Site. However, the deadline for non-60 day reciept RMAs is October 1st, 2008 (this deadline is for Rock Band 1 gear in North America). After that, you need your reciept to send stuff in. Their live support line is at 1(650)628-1001, 6am to 8pm PST and automated 24hrs a day.
I'm tired of playing with these random retards...
So are we. This is why there is a PA group for Xbox Live folk. If you are down, throw a friend request at Rock Band PA and check out who's on the list.
- Headsets aren't mandatory but it does make it more fun.
- Before throwing game invites, send a message beforehand to negotiate what instruments people are playing.
- Don't be a dick. This is just for fun.
- If you're doing Battle of the Band challenges, it helps to add PA folks to your friend list to check out how you measure up with the rest of us.

Rock Band JapanHarmonix announced that it would be co-developing a Japanese version of Rock Band with Q Entertainment for an exclusive release in Japan for all major consoles. According to Harmonix, Rock Band: Japan will be "the first US-originated rock music game to be heavily localized for the Japanese market". A release date has not yet been announced. While the game mechanics are expected to remain the same as Rock Band, the game will be localized and its soundtrack will include songs by popular Japanese artists.
Community Stuff
You want to get all "MySpace" with this shit? Then head on over to the brand new RockBand.com site and register your account. From there, start dropping friend requests on some folks around here. Check out each others bands and have a look at some of the new additions to the website.
Band Merch
Yes, finally you can make your own merch for your band. Anything from posters to shirts to figurines, there's a good deal of stuff you can make if you're a fan of your own fake plastic rocker.
Wanna get a better resolution of your band picture? Try this out:
Battle of the Bands
- The main new feature is online Band World Tour. You can also take your band and challenge other bands via the new Battle of the Bands feature. Every day a new challenge will be posted on either the Tour Challenge or Battle of the Bands. As far as Battle of the Band challenges go:
- Your band's score is measured up against another band from your friend list.
- You can also measure yourself against your friendlist on Rockband.com via the Battle of the Bands listing.
- It isn't in real time but the score meter shows you how your band's progress is going.
- In a BotB setlist, your multiplier and leftover Overdrive will carry on to the next song.
- Make sure you read the requirements and rules for each challenge.
- You don't need to be in a full band.
- The PA Band List
- Interested in measuring up against other forumers? Friend them on LIVE/PSN and see who's gunning for top spot. All the scores are saved for the leader of the band on that gamertag. As such, only the leader of the band is listed since we can all sub in for other bands. You can also friend people on rockband.com via your profiles and tracks against their BOTB scores.
Battle of the Band ChallengesGo here, check out the upcoming battles, and compare your scores with other people who are your friends on RockBand.com
Need a friend to compare with? Go ahead and start off by adding my profile since it'll end up being the PA-community page anyway.
Also, i completely forgot to download new DLC last night.
Morgan is on board for the all-girl band. Make it happen.

Also, they should get some Space Lord by Monster Magnet in this game.
Oh...and Dire Straits. Dire Straits is such an obvious choice I wonder why it hasn't happened yet. Sultans of Swing would be the greatest thing since sliced bread.
Also, Arikado, the new Rock Band site is here!!! Update the Battle of the Bands section like you promised!! We dont need more broken promises from our (elected) leaders!!!

My dreams of being Warren are finally coming to fruition, I just need to work on my beard.
twit feed
My comfort is that when I do, I have all of Blood Sugar Sex Magik, as well as an Offspring pack waiting for me. Plus whatever they release next week.
Working on it. I linked it but all I can do is list the battles whenever I have time.
It looks like you can check out your friend's scores if they're your friends on RockBand.com. If it works like I think it will, then maybe they'll make it so we can compare against PS3 folks and maybe the Wii owners. So we'll see...
You were not supposed to tell anyone about those. :oops:
Kinda takes some enjoyment out of it.
As a workaround, make sure Arikado is singing. His dude passes off as a chick quite easily.
Sure got a purty mouth... :winky:

It's rock and roll man! ROCK AND ROLL!!!

EDIT: My sister usually has Friday through Sunday available otherwise she's rarely available on weeknights before 830pm.

But for some reason, even as slow paced as it is, the expert guitar chart gives me fits. Nothing remotely close to failing, but I can't keep a streak up on that song to save my life.

For me, Lazy Eye is the one song that I had never heard before that turned out to be hella awesome. But those stupid blocks of notes mixed in everywhere means I wont even come close to FCing the damn song. Those are big time combo breakers.

I don't alt strum and I'm pretty sure my up strum is borked anyway. I'm left handed and play my real guitar left handed, but have always played GH/RB right handed due to GH1 not having a quick way to turn lefty flip on and off so it was a pain when playing with others so I learned to play righty for games.
Anyway I decided last week to give lefty a shot with my shiny RB2 strat. I noticed right away with lefty that about 1/2 the time I did a single downstrum (upstrum for rightys) it would register the strum as me holding down the strum bar and just cycle songs all the way to the bottom of the list. I flipped it back over and tested again upstrumming and sure enough it would happen. Not quite the 50% of the time as before, most likely due to gravity helping it recenter, but it would happen. I should probably RMA it as the red and yellow frets are also a little clacky (more so than my RB1 start), but everything else is solid with it so I'm not sure I want to chance it. Ugh.

Oh man.. alt strum is suuuch a huge help in this game. It's really nice when you see the odd triplet in a long line of slower strums to not have to suddenly spasam your arm and throw your whole rhythm off, and some of the really fast streaks just wouldn't be possible for me. I don't alt strum everything but anything above a certain comfort level I do.
Plus De Luxe is supremely satisfying when you figure out the alt strum pattern/rhythm for the whole song. It looks really complicated, but all the chord changes just flow along with the alt strumming so well.
EDIT: I'm surprised you had problems with the RB2 strat. You could try your GH guitars, if you still have 'em. I'd definitely RMA the RB2 Strat, most people have zero problems with them. It sounds like yours is actually under performing from average. Much more reliable than the RB1's.
I'm a little disappointed that you can't see the Narwhal that I've fused to the Horse's head, forming the eponymous Unicorn. It looks like it's back to the drawing board we go!
Its all good
All Right Now looks easy but satisfying on guitar and it's an awesome song anyway. Looked like a lot of fun on drums too. Bad to the Bone looked really damn fun, and moderately challenging on guitar. Couldn't find a drum video.
e: All Right Now is pretty boring on guitar I thought but fun to sing, and Bad To The Bone is bad.*
*-ass.
Damn you, Harmonix! Damn you and your consistent attention to smart and diverse song selection and notechart quality!
When I try hit the link account button, this is what I get:
That little white box, if I highlight the text and drag up and down, says the page is unavailable.
Morgan linked hers just fine this morning. What is wrong with me?
Edit: I get this Firefox and Chrome. In IE, it goes to a windows sign-in page that's not part of the rock band page in any way. I can enter my Windows Passport/Live thinger fine, but then i get page cannot be displayed when I hit login.
Right now, she and I are going through clearing out every venue we have available. Having looked at the setlists I can see, we have a few new songs that we will (FINALLY) unlock, such as Painkiller and Battery. I think I'll just wait til we've unlocked all the songs til I get RB1 and transfer the tracks. I don't want to "ruin" the main game beyond what I've already done with DLC.
And I realized while driving in to work today that It Only Took A Day by dredg would be a fantastic song to have in this. It's short, so that's helpful, but it's complex enough to be fun while not being too easy or too challenging.
ARE YOU LISTENING, HARMONIX? DREDG WOULD BE FUN.
