:rolleyes:

For the record, I have, in fact, played both of these. And to many peoples surprise, I didn't suck at it. But I still found it very sad, the amount of time people put into this game, instead of upping the skill of the actual instrument playing, for possibly career change. It does have a fairly steep learning curve. And it's really no different than Amplitude or Frequency before it, along with many others.

yiu find everything very sad ... you're a self proclaimed goth.


i think the idea of 'fun' escapes you.

i have no desire to play an instrument - i dont have the time to invest in it - i have a lot of other interests that are a much higher priority.

rock band is something fun i can do with my family from time to time for fun. nothing more nothing less.

We don't want to record anything, play any gigs, or even be a real band. Some people don't WANT to do that, they have jobs and families, not everybody wants what you want. By the way, I said you were an idiot if you truly felt that nobody should play the games but instead they should be in a band and I stand by that. I could care less if you ignore me, I need no reason to "backup" anything.

More importantly. Thanks Chrono for actually answering the question.

I agree with Vampiric Clown, call me a hater but people are way too into these games it's like they sell little kids little toy guitars and stuff it's like they want you to just buy electronic toy guitars.

I really don't like guitar hero/rock band and they have fucked up so many good songs. Also since its only 5 buttons it's nothing like playing a real guitar. Tried Playing About a Girl by Nirvana on Rock Band and it's so off. I will say that I got introduced to alot of great songs from these games and DO like to play them every couple of months. I'm listening to Welcome Home right now, Coheed is shaping up to be one of my favorite bands. :cool:

I played rock band for the 1st time Friday. I was doing alright for awhile. I got to the point where if you get a high score you get to do like a 15 sec solo. I was on drums playing to NiN's-Hand that feeds when I dropped the sticks during the solo. I felt like an epic failure.:o

My favorites on 1 were
Maps and
Should I stay or should I go.
I know there were more but it's been a while since I've played it.

I just got 2 and a few of my favorites are
I was wrong (one of my favorite songs, period)
Alive
My own worst enemy

All mainly because I have good tone for them. All I do is sing because I SUCK on the instruments, and I always fuck anything with a lot of range up.

I like a few of the No Doubt songs: Hey Baby, and Don't Speak; The All American Rejects: Move Along, Dirty Little SEcret; Green Day: American Idiot; NIN: March of the Pigs, The Hand that feeds, and a few others.

I tried Guitar Hero a month ago and sucked. I can't play guitar to save my life. That's why I prefer rock band--I'm way more comfortable on the drums. I know the new version of guitar hero has the band. But rock band were the originators. So ha ! :)

i completed the new guitar hero game in like 2 and a half days.
i play guitar and drums in real life too but i still have to say that im better at guitar hero though..... im a fake noooooo XD
