Those may work in an acceptable fashion during gameplay, but no way in hell would I be able to keep the sticks there during storage. Like really, would it have been that expensive for them to add something in for that? They could have gotten Vic Firth to sponsor it in the same way they got Fender on the guitars.

Yeah I haven't touched the bonus tour yet.

This game is freaking godly though. Of the 58 songs on the main list only 7 aren't master tracks. That's right. 51 tracks are. Not counting the bonus songs or the downloadable content.. Speaking of downloadable content..
Yeah, but what kind of a ratio does GH3 have? I do believe it's something similar.

Hey Afro: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_songs_in_Rock_Band

Quote from the actual link:
How did you guys decide on the bands and songs that made it into Rock Band?

Dan Teasdale: At the start of the project, we created our dream list of bands. We had a list of about 2000 or 3000 songs that we whittled down into a list of 200 or 300 songs, and then we went out and tried to get all of those songs. We had an amazing response, and all of the labels were really, really responsive as to some of the bands that we could get. We were able to get The Who, which we never were able to get before, we were able to get the whole of “Nevermind” from Nirvana, which was way beyond our expectations and is incredibly awesome. In terms of the thought process behind it, we wanted to get the whole spectrum of rock, from the 1960s to today, essentially.

Cream yourself... now.
I knew about that... that's why I said Nevermind specifically and not Toxicity or any number of other albums that I love.

Bah! I keep forgetting crap. There is a difference between the GH controllers while playing Rock Band. When you have the Rock Band controller during the solos, you do not have to strum at all if you play on the bottom Frets.
If I recall, those sections work like hammer-ons/pull-offs if you're playing on the upper frets, but on the bottom ones, you don't need to strum at all.


And has anyone heard any news about drivers for these controllers for computer? I'm sure that SOMEONE with the knowledge is working on it.

EDIT: one more thing: did anyone find it HILARIOUS that they used Dead on Arrival rather than a newer song? That song is on the album Take This to Your Grave-- it is on Fueled By Ramen records. This album came out before their mainstream success with From Under the Cork Tree. Seriously, if FFR was ever to get permission to use a song by Fallout Boy, it would be off of this album. You think they cheaped-out and went to Fueled By Ramen instead of Island for their newest album? On top of this, if they were going to use a song off of Take This to Your Grave, WHY DIDN'T THEY USE GRAND THEFT AUTUMN
