Ugh, I plead for no tambourine parts on instrumentals. I hate the damn cowbell/tambourine stuff, I wish they'd eliminate it from the sequel completely.

What about beat-boxing?
 
Wooooooot awesome news on Moving Pictures. Best news I have heard in a while!

Anyone who doesn't DL this is cheating themselves IMO. Rush is so perfect for RB.

I'm sure YYZ will be playable as a band, that would be ridiculous.
 
YYZ won't be playable for a band. A Harmonix employee posted on scorehero that you won't be able to pick the song if you have a vocalist.
 
Definitely in for the whole Rush album, great news! This will probably be my favorite Rock Band DLC album out of the ones already released. Can't wait to play the album on expert drums, other instruments should be fun too.
 
[quote name='pete5883']I've discovered that Burn and Last are my favorite guitar songs, out of the 80 or so I own. May just be the NIN fan in me talking.[/quote]
Or how easy it is to gold star them on guitar...
 
Just finished watching Tom Petty perform in Golden Gate park. Where the fuck is Petty music in this game? Talk about perfect for Rockband...

yep. There are still a ton of big names missing from Rock Band. Petty, Springsteen, Floyd, Mellencamp & Thorogood to name a few.
 
A couple of my friends and I picked up our Rock Band World Tour game recently and we have hit a wall with fans. We usually just have 3 people playing, the drums on medium, one guitar on expert, and the other on hard. We can't seem to gain any more fans at this point. Is this because of our difficulty settings or do we need someone on the mic to advance further? I thought they patched the game so that lower difficulties could be more successful in the World Tour mode, was I just imagining this?
 
Move the drummer to hard or just take out the drummer completely and you'll get more fans. I don't remember if that fan cap thing was patched or just requested but I think its still there.

Ok thanks. There is no way we can move the drummer to hard, we all suck too much. So we will try picking up the mic if we have to.
 
You can only get fans based on the person's lowest difficulty level. If won't matter if you bring in a singer or not. You need to move the drummer to hard, or drop the drummer completely.
 
Man that is really fucking retarded. I was thinking they were going to change that in a patch so that you could continue getting fans on the easier difficulties. I guess we will just forget the World Tour mode until RB 2 comes out in a few weeks.
 
Gah I hate how World Tour doesn't let you beat it on Easy. Sometimes I just want to have fun playing with it with my younger siblings but they have to play on easy.

Meh, just go into world tour and play a create a set list that you already have access too. No one wants to play those same shitty songs that the tour throws at you all the time anyways.

I agree that it is dumb though, despite me not ever encountering a problem with it. All it really leads to is people becoming frustrated with their friends because they aren't better or getting better as fast as they'd like.
 
[quote name='GamerChris']Well they did fix it. You can now get 1 million fans on the Hard difficulty, and beat the world tour mode on medium.[/quote]

Ok thanks for the info.

Yeah but I can't get anymore fans as I have reached the max for easy difficulty, we're stuck at a bit above 500k
 
[quote name='cgarb84']Ok thanks for the info.[/quote]

Is this true on PS3? I don't have anyone really great in my circle of friends, and I can sing on Medium no problem. I play expert guitar/drums..If I made a career, what would I need to to eventually get a platinum icon for either of those instruments?

Like, say, I sing medium and play guitar medium/hard to get enough fans to open the Endless setlist, then play it on Expert guitar/hard vocals? Is that feasible? Basically, I just want to see all of Band World Tour, and never could because my friends all suck.

Of those, Springsteen surprises me the most that they aren't on the game at all.



I remember reading somewhere that a member of Springsteen & E Street was on the DLC team recommending songs to them.

That's cool. I'm surprised there is no Meat Loaf as well. They might be holding that back for a duet option though.
 
well just wanted to download rush, but guess I can't. I'm gonna go to the store get some milk and come back home and eat some cereal. and if Rush isn't up by then :bomb:
 
[quote name='NeoFrank1']Still nothing....

This is worse than the holocaust.[/quote]

While I don't think it is that bad it certainly is bad. I didn't look forward to any of the other albums, and now I anticipate this and it gets all fucked up.

*NOTE* I did buy the Judas Priest Album, that thing is pretty damn good all around.

Seriously though, I need to get my Neil Pert on, damn it! :bomb: I'm going to gouge my eyes out with punji sticks if it doesn't come out tonight.
 
The least the assholes could do is give us an update and a time frame. I would like to know something about when it'll be up and not just keep checking every hour!
 
I wonder if they'll just bump their schedule up a week, or actually try and make up for the lack of Rush.

I'm hoping it's the latter.

(psst, Offspring pack pls).
