Try drums

Guitar note chart is easier.

I'd love to, but I've got a cripplingly small house so perhiperals are not allowed, bar geetars.

Course, by the time we bloody sell, RB2 and GH4 will be out and I'll have to decide which one to get..

Just had my first few games of Rock band on line. I was on vocals (arghhhhh) Can anyone tell me if the the other players can hear me singing. I hope not or the must be in a state of shock. LOL.

They can only hear if you hold one of the shoulder buttons, think it might be L1/Left Trigger.

The Rush DLC is out now, finally, for those that want it. I'm tempted. I like YYZ and the original version of Tom Sawyer sounds so much better... But I'm not really familiar with the other stuff on the album. Convince me!

Also out this week is...

Bad Religion - Sorrow
The Cult - She Sells Sanctuary
Hot Hot Heat - Bandages
Kasabian - Shoot the Runner
Sleater-Kinney - You're No Rock N Roll Fun
Stone Roses - Love Spreads

I love Bandages. It's really fun to drum along to. I love drum parts that require you to hit two pads together about 20 times. Smashy smashy fun. I want the rest of that album so bad, every time I listen to it (about four times a week) I think how perfect it'd be for Rock Band. The drumming and bass on the songs in particular would fit brilliantly.

I've played guitar a bit today too, and I suck again. I think I need to just commit to one instrument over the other!

Great selection of DLC this week , will get all these when they hit PSN on thursday

[Ippikami]

Why isn't it on the in-game RB store? If I hadn't found it on XB Market, I would have prepared an almighty 'Harmonix hatez Eurupp' flame.

(There aren't enough of those)

Ipp - will be on most of the evening playing Rush tracks, eee

The music store never updates until much later that day, for some reason.

There's something weird going on with it though, the Pixies album isn't listed under the albums tab :/

[Ippikami]

Guess I've never checked this early for a release (thought I did for Dream Theater, hmm).

Anyway, great album, though GSing most of them on 'sightread' (or first play, whatever) was a bit weird. Probably helps that if they're not 11 minutes long or YYZ, they're a bit too easy.

Of course, this was on guitar, and Rush songs usually ramp up the tiers on the non-tars. Too bad I hate the drums.

I think I'll have to grab all that DLC for this week, Rush and The Cult especially. Oh and the Stone Roses... nice!

Too bad I hate the drums.

Why, too hard for ya?

[Ippikami]

That, and I'm sure the pads don't register every hit. Almost like the Europe stuff was re-issues, hm.

Love Spreads by the Stone Roses sounds really good, i'd forgotten what a cool track it is.

Thanks for that... If I hadnt read this right now I wouldnt have realised they were out. Bit stupid the store hasnt updated.

Yeah, I heard the Rush stuff was out and checked the in-game store but couldn't find it, so I assumed there were more problems. I've always used the Xbox Marketplace before so I didn't know there was a delay.

Got a chance to play the Wii version at a GAME store today - it seemed like the lag was immense! Must have been something with the setup I think, because I imagine Wii owners would be a lot more angry if it was a problem with the game. I was almost failing out on stuff like The Kill, felt really weird. I'd like to try it on a proper setup to see if there is any noticeable difference though, would be interesting.
