Im 20 and every other week I just save the $22 or whatever it is for the 1500 points. Its not that big of a deal

After listening to it for a while, I've been wondering...

Why isn't there any Guns 'n' Roses!? One song that could perfectly fit is Paradise City. If you listen to that song, it's perfect for Rock Band. We actually need a Guns 'n' Roses pack.

Wouldn't you guys agree? Only problem is that it will most likely be a cover, but Sweet Child O' Mine wasn't that bad in GH2, so I bet it wouldn't be a problem here.

I'm almost 22 and it'd be a huge burden on my paycheck.

So for when I can get back on the real drums, and can do that video, I've decided on either Beethoven's C*** or Black Hole Sun (or both).

But the problem with these is the same. Both of them have 1-2 fills that I will inevitably **** up. Who knows though, maybe if I transcribe them to paper and practice them I'll find out they're a lot easier than when a cluster**** of coloured bars sweeps down the screen.

If you do something close nobody will be able to tell most likely.

I got my 2nd drum FC on Main Offender (well, it was 100% with a pad double-register so I'm counting it ). Go me.

The random combo breaker made me relax a bunch. Usually I get nervous when I'm FCing something (choked Reptilia in band quickplay and haven't even golded it in solo, i.e.). I just relaxed and at the end it said 100%. I lol'd

Also easy charts with even note distribution need to die. I can't squeeze, so I have trouble getting gold at all

Same problem with me. Any instrument I play, I tend to get nervous when I'm about to FC a song, a miss a note on a retardly easy part of a song. I did manage to FC a few songs though.

Nice, that one's a bitch the first go 'round.

So I play 3's and 7's today, hoping for a gold star. First run I choke on the usual fills and a few other random things and don't get 'em. Second run I nail all the runs, nail the 12th section, nail everything. I have a FC going until I miss on the little red triplet 5 notes from the end. I still got the golds and I think the run was good enough for 3rd on Live (leaderboards haven't updated yet).

What the fuck, dude.

$22 = ~£11 = 2 hours work. At minimum wage.

You seriously can't afford that?

I'm almost 22 years old. Not making $22 an hour.

I make 9 an hour.

I can afford it, sure. I just wouldn't pay more than 50 cents for it.

The way the peripherals are priced proves that the actual game is worth $10 or less. That means the code itself is probably half of that and each song is worth the other half. So $5 divided by 50 or so songs puts each song at 10 cents.

Why the hell anyone would pay $2-5 for one song is beyond me.

$9 per hour is a tad low. $10/hr is our minimum wage in SF.

I highly doubt that.

Also, I get paid by my school. $9 isn't just my hourly wage. Because I'm an employee of the school, I get discounts on my textbooks and things. Among other features.
