Rock Band. More Awesome.

[debit13]

Yeah, another one of my friends bought RB about 4 days ago. I finally passed Run to the Hills expert drums, and I seriously thought my arms were dead.

As far as the set list goes for guitar, it is nowhere near as hard as where I would like it to be. That doesn't mean that it lacks fun factor, but I'm a GH player who wants a little more than Green Grass and High Tides. That song isn't even that hard once you figure out the timing window.

Green Grass and High Tide's first solo is beautiful.

[Squeek]

I like the entire song, but I do agree that the slower-paced fewer-instrument first solo is better than the second one.

I never even knew the song before the game came out, and now it's one of my favorite songs. I listened to it exclusively for about four straight days.

[Telvanni_guard]

Same thing for me really.

But the note chart is what I was referring to. That note chart for the first solo is wonderful. It's fun to play without being overly easy or overly difficult. It flows so well. Then again if the solo sounded like crap, I don't think the note-chart would be as wonderful either.


Also: There's a good chance your parents know them. From what I've hear The Outlaws and Lynard Skynard were two of the big names way back when.

Rockband is AWESOME!

[DJ_Swabber]

Drums ftw.
Someone let me come over and play it.

It's not that good. It's just Guitar Hero with drums duck taped on. Cheap drums at that too. GH Ftw <3.

EDIT : Why not just learn real drums?

This argument could so not be reversed.
Hint: Why not learn real guitar.
p.s. duct tape
p.s.s. this:

First of all, you ignored singing, which is incredibly fun, especially when combined with an instrument. Second of all, the "why don't you learn real drums" holds exactly as much water as it does for GH. Real drums cost $500+ to start. Rock Band drums cost $120 to start. "Why not just learn real drums?" Why not just learn real guitar?

Besides, I already knew real drums, and I still find Rock Band drums fun. In fact, what I like to do is run Practice Mode, then sit at my real drums and play along with the TV.

p.s. stop posting.
p.s.s. the drums are fine in quality, unless you ultra-smash them.
p.s.s.s. it is much more fun than guitar hero because it allows awesome multiplayer.
go away noob.

brb, trying that.

Edit: Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet. That's awesome.

Rock band is really hard with drums... I can't get used to that bass pedal. and people won't play real guitar/real drums because rock band/guitar hero are much cheaper and give you faster results.

[ddranthony92]

for those who have done the endless set list how long did it take you? because me and my friend are thinking about trying it.

[SCWolf]

I like rock band. Me and Kommisar have a band made, and we're pretty good =D

Only thing this game is missing is Hyper Speed >=(

Some songs, it's all about keeping the beat and rhythm with the song, but songs like Detroit Rock City are tricky, so work in small steps, and learn the bass patterns.

And this is a SIMULATOR. It's like playing those plane simulator games and ask, "Why don't you buy a real plane and drive it?" Rock Band is cheap (compared to a real set), and realistic in it's own sense.

It would be so much easier and so much more fun if it had hyperspeed >_<

It took me forever to pass Green Grass and High Tides (guitar) without hyperspeed. If it was GH3, I would be able to five star it.

even though the guitar is easier on this game, i like it how you actually have to hit the notes on time with the music, unlike guitar hero 3, plus i personally like the song list better than gh3.

[Yuruka]

Well, guitar hero is different. Guitar hero isn't exactly a guitar, it's more like that Pop game in japan where you hit the buttons and it registers on screen.

You press the buttons that are on the guitar, and it's NOTHING like playing real guitar.

Drums are the same as playing real drums. Hit pads. Press bass pedal.

And singing..Eugh..

Drums is much harder and more expensive, and they are not all on the smae level. Guitar is like playing a one-stringed, five-fretted guitar. Singing is fine if you aren't a wimp. I MANLY BELT OUT RUN TO THE HILLS.
