Rock Band

[Steve Corino]

Myself, I never play with the pedal under the drums. I found a place that's comfortable for me, and I place it there. I use it off to the right of the entire set. Realistic? Doubtful, but it lets me play more comfortably, and that's the important part.

What I did to get decent on drums, was to just pick out one or two songs from each set and keep playing them until I had a score that I felt was good enough. That's how I've gotten myself onto hard... now I just need to take the time to do it on hard so that I can get better at that, too.

Finally got the flawless drumming achievement today on Countdown to Insanity. At least that song is fun to play and not boring like Say It Ain't So or I Think I'm Paranoid. Now to see if I can somehow get the AN-I-MAL achievement.

[thuganomic]

Oh man, the bass part for Hysteria is so fucking awesome. I'm going to get it flawless, mark my words.

[Kaney]

TOO MANY WIRES.

I'm still setting it up so haven't played yet, but I can't be the only one who thinks the strat seems a lot less well, sturdy than the GH les paul, can I? >_>

[Lopro]

Just a quick heads up, to anybody who had the old PS2 music game "Rock Da Mic" (Which would include me and about 5 other people) the microphone that the comes with it works fine on the Xbox 360 and sounds great on Rock Band.

[King Ellis]

I thought you weren't getting the instruments yet?

But yeah, got my copy today as well. (Y)

[alldaws1]

Pfft, getting Rock Band is so two days ago >_>

[King Ellis]

And how much did you put towards said game Mr Snuk?

[Kaney]

MSN? >_>

[alldaws1]

And how much did you put towards said game Mr Snuk?

Absolutely nadda.

[-A-]

Been playing almost non-stop for 24 hours now Have to say that I like this guitar far more than the last one, the strum bar is actually convenient for strumming up and down rather than only for down strumming. The buttons are far lighter than the beastly GH3 ones, even though I haven't got to grips with the solo frets yet.

When you're playing local Quickplay and rank the songs by difficulty, is it an aggregate difficulty for all the instruments you're using or only for the leader's instrument? Got humped yesterday by trying Go With the Flow on Hard drums, thinking the song itself wasn't too difficult.

[Kaney]

I'm so very happy you can hear others sing during multiplayer.

I'm so very happy I can hear Ellis sing during multiplayer, even if I do laugh hard enough to lose my streak >_>

[King Ellis]

God damn Nirvana and their high noted choruses!

God damn Nirvana and their high noted choruses!

Just wait until you get to sing Flyleaf.

Band difficulty is a rating all to itself.

Oh my motherfucking fuck this is humanity's greatest invention ever.

EVER.

I quite like the strat, I need to get used to the buttons a bit more, but I do like the non-clicky strumbar.

And how much did you put towards said game Mr Snuk?

Absolutely nadda.

I'd put an angryface in here, but I can't afford it after putting all my bloody money into Rock Band.

[NobBe Nobbs]

:@

A free angry face for you. Also, I played a couple of songs on the strat today and fuck no. Fuck and no, compared to the Xplorer that thing's awful, the buttons are way too close together for a kickoff and I actually LIKED the clicky strumbar.

[Cactus Drags]

there's nothing wrong with the clicky strumbar, but the non-clicky one is pretty cool too. I'm having similar porlbems with the fret buttons though. Partly because I'm always playing drums so I don't practice uch with the guitar.

[Fitzy]

The non-clicky bar is the only thing I like about the Rock Band guitar. I have switched over the the Guitar Hero III guitar since I started playing the guitar lately and I tried to go back to the Rock Band one and I was screwing up (which is why I quit during that song with Dragys ). I find the GH one better for bass too as I cannot upstrum on the Rock Band one for some reason and I like to upstrum when playing bass.
