Rock Band

[LL!]

So in a band formed by my good friend (guitar), his friend (drums), and myself... I was niched with singing. I'm not bad, but it KILLS the throat. I don't expect to have a voice tomorrow.

[EddieRuckus]

Yeah, I was practicing with my metal band yesterday, and when I brought Rock Band out after practice, they tried to make me the singer. I played drums. Still feeling the effects of screaming like a mofo though for 2 hours yesterday, can't hit some of the higher notes.

[LL!]

The good thing is I have my voice. The bad thing is that I learned yesterday I can't sing The Police or Black Sabbath. However, I am very good at OK Go, Nirvana, and Soundgarden.

The whole process of creating profiles/characters is confusing and frustrating. After initially making my character on a separate profile from my girlfriend's(who was the leader), it took me 15 minutes to sign-in again a few hours later. I dislike the stratocaster, especially the strum bar, I can't seem to effectively do long strings of single notes as well as I can with the les paul, and fuck those frets by the neck.

Anyways, I really like the game, significantly more fun than Guitar Hero when played with 2 other people. I'm surprised and ashamed at how much I suck at drums, though.

Edit: Almost forgot, the microphone seems to be broken. We tried plugging it in and... nothing happened. I couldn't find any instructions for it, though they may have been lost during the multi-person unboxing.

I am fucking stunned. 899 Note Streak? Wow. Just... wow.

Ah, I see. That makes a lot of sense. I was wondering how you'd navigate the menus and such with the microphone. I was expecting buttons to be on the mic itself.

[NobBe Nobbs]

Mother of God. That's like the Ben GHIII videos but on drums.

[thatshortguy]

100%, drums, expert, Won't Get Fooled Again.

Video be damned. Bow down.

[Fanku Kaibutsu]

It's a scientific fact: if it's not on youtube, it didn't happen

[GoGo Yubari]

Dear Rock Band,

"In Bloom" followed by "Missisippi Queen" isn't really a mystery setlist when that's what you always, always have us play.

Love,

GoGo

P.S. Please keep doing it, it's driving my sister more and more insane each and every time she has to play it.

[EddieRuckus]

In regards to your letter, how many songs have you unlocked? I know when I use my 360 Hard Drive and my profile which has all the songs unlocked, there is a little more mystery to the random setlists. When we used my friends Hard drive, it was almost the same situation.

Then again, I swear their was one time where it was "Train Kept a Rollin" followed by "Dead or Alive" every fooking time...

[zero]

Just wait till you buy some songs and they start throwing ball busters like Metallica and Wolfmother at you and you want to cry because you'll lose 90% of your fans trying to get through the fucking thing.

But I'm not bitter.

[Fanku Kaibutsu]

Am I doing some thing wrong, or when you're playing through XBox Live, is it impossible to hear the other person sing?

[zero]

No, you can't hear the person singing on an XBL match. And thank God for that.

[Jack Krauser III]

No, you can't hear the person singing on an XBL match. And thank God for that.

So I played for a couple of hours using the drums on easy and yeah it is quite hard to hit those right. The best I've gotten was four stars on In Bloom but that's probably because I had to play it like five times by that point. But it is still quite fun to play.

[Fitzy]

I've just used the guitar for the first time now and wanted to know something, is the strum bar not supposed to make a clicking sound like the Guitar Hero one does? Or is it supposed to make a sound and mine is just broken?

[BlackFlagg]

I believe it is supposed to be quiet
