Kaney better be getting them.

[Cactus Drags]

Harder and Harder to Breathe was the song I was thinking about, they shuld have put that one on there. And the one where the video has him fucking that chick with the flowers and rainbows flying across to censor.

[Crybaby Bunting]

Finally went out and got the drumkit, that means that I've now got enough instruments to have a 4 player session one day.

First impressions: This is fun... but insanely hard to start off with

Second impressions: Can anyone reccomend any fun DLC for drums?

[John Stones' Paint Trophy]

The Funk Pack is really fun on drums. The Mute Myth track has a really fun, if difficult track but really, all you need is the Boston pack.

[Crybaby Bunting]

I've got a big chunk of the Boston pack and the Pixies pack, looks like I should complete the packs then.

Oh and in other news, the Pearl Jam pack is coming out tomorrow on the 360 and on the PSN on Thursday.

Not one song I want. Damn

[King Ellis]

THRICE!

You know what song we need for DLC? Heat Of The Moment by Asia. I dunno if it's on GH Greatest Hits caus I think it was on Rock The 80's, either way, make it so!

[Cactus Drags]

WE ARE THE IMAGE OF THE INVISIBLE!

So bought. In fact, they should do a Thrice pack, Artist in the Ambulance, Under a Killing Moon, All That's Left and the entire Illusion of Safety album.

[zero]

I can't believe Dear and the Headlights made it on Rock Band... that's awesome for them.

[stokeriño]

Whether to put this in the GH or RB thread...oh well, just pick the one near the top.

I'm feeling like finally getting a guitar game on the PS3 (having owned older GHs on PS2), and am wondering which one to get. The impression I've got is that the GH: World Tour guitar is the best instrument to get for compatibility and such (I won't be getting any of the other band instruments, so they're a non-factor), but the Rock Band games are better for the music, DLC etc., so perhaps I should buy World Tour w/ guitar and then pick up Rock Band 2 on its own at some later date.

Does that sound good, or is there a smarter option?

[NobBe Nobbs]

Get Rock Band 2 and pick up a guitar off eBay or some such.

[stokeriño]

But then I'd have to wait for the guitar, and I got my bonus today...

My capitalist consumer satisfaction must be instantaneous!

[EddieRuckus]

If you could, I would suggest trying out both the Rock Band and Guitar Hero guitars to see what you're more comfortable playing with. I started out on the Guitar Hero ones, but now I mainly play with my Rock Band 2 wireless guitar.

If you can't try out either or both, then I would have to say to go for the Guitar Hero controller. It's more...user-friendly I guess, plus you can actually hear yourself strumming, which is definitely a big help for someone who is starting as it helps with rhythm. Plus I always get e-mails from Guitar Hero about special one-day sales, such as Guitar Hero Metallica with two Guitar controllers for 100 dollars american. I'm also sure you can get some deals on World Tour and the guitar.

Just make sure you get Rock Band 2 later on for the sheer amount of DLC options to get.

[NobBe Nobbs]

Screw that, just get a Rock Band guitar. SUPPORT THE BRAND GODDAMMIT STOKER

[stokeriño]

Screw your brand loyalty, Be. I WANT IT ALL. [/Queen] :@

I've only checked Amazon/Play/HMV so far, but HMV has the cheapest World Tour guitar pack of those three at £55 (the others are £5 more).

Oh, and question about Rock Band 2: if Stokerina wanted to sing (as she invariably will once we have the game), can someone point me towards the microphone I ought to be buying? It doesn't seem to be as obvious as the guitars...

And I assume we can just play with me on the guitar, her singing, and the computer covering the rest, right? I've not played any of the 'band' games before, you see. >_>
