[Kyle_]

It'd be nice to have someone who isn't terrified of the Who for once

Hello.

Hello here too. I like singing most of their songs.

Oh god, Gold artist? I thought we had our route to riding the coatails achivement.

Since I FINALLY beat Green Grass (with a bassist ), I'll probably have the platinum artist achievement by next week, so feel free to ride me.

[ragbag]

I should be platinum since I did use expert guitar, but using hard vocals bumps me down, lame. But fuck expert voxtar, I'd still probably be trying if I did that.

That raises an interesting question/debate:

Should I continue on with Expert Vocals Solo Tour, or start the Endless Setlist on Expert Bass and Vocals?

Gah fuck the drums. I am 15 songs through the medium solo tour and at this point I am ready to throw my footpedal out the window and do the rest of the songs without it.

Hard I might be able to do if someone else takes control of the footpedal.

Expert can go take a running jump.

[The Chief]

i am slowly breaking into hard on drums now. kind of suprised how much i've improved over the past month or two (from poor medium to finishing some songs on hard)

[Cactus Drags]

Persevere with drums, seriously. I hate the footpedal for the first month or so, but I can more or less pass most songs on hard at 95% or more. Some of the songs have off-beat kicks that just don't go in time with what you do with your hands, which is really fucking annoying, but it comes with practice.

Also, I am convinced I could easily drum in a punk band, having seen a few last night and knowing that one of them stepped in for the normal drummer who was injured - he had 6 hours to practice.

Oh, and the NCA only accept singers who have the balls to, y'know, actually sing, not hum without broadcasting to the rest of us.

Punk is one of the easiest to drum for, especially if it's a simplistic one. The same can be said for butt rock, as I am the drummer for a butt rock band back at home.

And I would subject people to my actual voice, but for the most part I just want to know if I should continue Expert vocals or go for the Expert Vocals/Bass on World Tour so I can have people ride coattails.

Oh, and the NCA only accept singers who have the balls to, y'know, actually sing, not hum without broadcasting to the rest of us.

Speaking of the NCA, when was the last time we actually, you know, played?

[King Ellis]

We should play now and audition Kulex.

[ragbag]

Ekin, I'd say go through vocals first then the setlist, because that ensures you won't get stuck on the setlist.

Oh and according to this video from VH1 Classic, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_M0U0Lb4z6c, we have next weeks DLC. Rush's Moving Pictures Album including Tom Sawyer, and YYZ.

Edit: Officially confirmed through the rock band newsletter.

Confirmed by an e-mail I just got from the first Rock Band Community Zine. Doesn't say anything about the pricing though.

Definitely excited to get this album

[Cactus Drags]

Oh come on, we have Rush already.

[Gabriel]

Oh come on, we have Rush already.

Echo'd.

As much as I love singing Tom Sawyer in my best woman voice to rack up the points... I'd rather have had something else. Who knows though, maybe something else will be released next week as well though. Won't be able to know for sure until the official announcement tomorrow.

[EddieRuckus]

Pretty sure it's official as the e-mail is from rockband@harmonixmusic.com, but hopefully they'll throw something else in there like they do sometimes.

[Drake Smashem]

I was just watching VH1 Classic and a Rush music video came on and I was all like "All right!". Then the little announcement popped up in the corner and I freaked out. Yeah, we have Rush, but there always needs to be more Rush. Will YYZ just not have lyrics as an option or what?

[Cactus Drags]

If it's a full album, I doubt there'll be anything else.

[King Ellis]

You mean like the time the Weezer pack came out the same day as the Pixies album?

[Cactus Drags]

You shut your noise hole.

[Marsh]

I don't think I understand. We've already got Tom Sawyer as a default track on the Rock Band disk. Why are they releasing it again as a download?
