Rock Band

[Jack Krauser III]

According to IGN no other guitars other than the Strat work with the game so it's going to be only 75% playable out of the box until next year. :ohwell:

But in an interview they did on Gamespot not long ago they said that the Guitar Hero 3 guitar will work with Rock Band(I think the PS3 version)....will it work or not?

it comes with the guitar in the bundle

[EddieRuckus]

I thought IGN said that that strat won't work with the other two games, and that the Guitar Hero 2 controller will work with it, you just can't do all of the fancy stuff. At least that's what I got, and I'm referring to the 360.

[ragbag]

I'm pretty sure I read that you can use the new Les Paul guitar on rock band, but it won't be able to do any of the special effects that the strato has and will just stuck in normal mode. I can't remember though if I got that from Gamespot (or a similar site) or the Rock Band boards.

"Should I Stay Or Should I Go" alone makes this all kinds of brilliant.

"Creep" and "Sabotage" (and as a bit of a cheesy mark out moment "I Think I'm Paranoid").

I'd personally like to hunt down a good female vocalist to run through "Maps" too. Another guilty pleasure though I'd have preferred Modern Romance.

Look! Rock Band comes with boomerangs!

[EWRFan]

Sweet, where you got that pic from?

Damn, I just hope I can make enough money to get this game. I just love the premise, specially since I have a bunch of rock crazy friends ready to rock.

Rock Band unboxing...booyah!

Unboxing's are a weird internet phenomenon aren't they?

Buddy Holly - Weezer

Now THIS is a Weezer song I actually want to play on Rock Band/Guitar Hero. Sweet.

[R.W.]

My Iron Lung could be great fun, shame they didn't go for Paranoid Android or 2+2=5.

Needs more Muse though!

[Fitzy]

I am kinda disappointed in Metallica only being 3 or 6 songs. I was looking forward to an entire album like it has been said would be included before.

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

I Fought The Law! Whooo

[Cactus Drags]

Fuck off, why are you disappointed? Most bands get represented in these games once. Metallica will be represented 3 or even 6 times as much.

[Fanku Kaibutsu]

It's like Trogdor, but less funny and infinitely more annoying!. I mean, this song would be cool for Guitar Hero, but not rock band. Not Rock Band at all.

Wow, that is just stupid as hell. Vagiant is bad enough but this? Ugh, they're just trying to get me to not buy this...

... one bonus track? Really?

Also, Trogdor was kind of awful, to be honest. As far as novelty/odd songs as bonus tracks, "Thunderhorse" was the best. I'll agree that this is dumb, though, entirely because I'm already disinterested in doing vocals without knowing that my job if I were assigned to vocals for this song would be to yell out "TIMMY" a lot.
