Rock Band 2

Re: Rock Band 2

OK, I'm stumped.

I remember playing a song that ended with "why you move so fa-a-a-ast!" where the other instruments bowed out while the singer ended it up... but I have no idea who sings it or what the name is. I'm pretty sure it's either DLC or from the RB2 disc... can anyone help me out with it?

Only song I can think of in Rock Band that remotely resembles that is Reptilia by The Strokes (chorus is "please don't slow me down if I'm going too fast"), but that doesn't have the ending that you describe.

My guess therefore is that it's one of the bonus songs. Don't have the game in front of me though so I can't help you beyond that right now.

Re: Rock Band 2

YES! I FOUND IT!

"Bullets and Guns" by Them Terribles

Ends with "Now I know why she moves so fa-a-a-ast!"

Thank God, it had been bugging me for 3 days.

Will the songs from the AC/DC pack be available as DLC. there are some that I would like to buy but not sure if I want to spend the $40 for the whole pack. Thanks!

I don't believe so.

Anyone playing the new GH:WT guitar on RB2?

Impressions?

Re: Rock Band 2

Minor accomplishment for me this weekend: I finally moved up from Easy to Medium on guitar. I wasn't acing the songs on easy (around 90 percent or higher), but the notes felt rather slow. It's amazing how much more enjoyable it is to play when you faced with a bigger challenge. I'll probably stay on Medium for the rest of my adult life. The game really seems to shine when you move up. I can only image how insane it is on hard and expert.

Still haven't picked up the drum throne yet. Guitar was way too addicting.

They will not be released as DLC. This is an AC/DC thing...they don't believe in singles.

Picked up the cymbals at the Best Buy in Hadley, MA, evidently all BB's have the double packs, just ask the electronics guy and they can go out back to get them for you.

Temporary drum setup

Blue and Yellow Cymbals are switched (blue = yellow, yellow = blue) I was too lazy to switch the knobs.

These make the game even more fun and more "authentic". I was having flashbacks to my old kit before I realized I was hitting these things really hard. Seemed to take a beating pretty well but there is a thing in the box saying not to hit them hard.

So, how do they work? Just hit the cymbal instead of the pad? No on screen indication?

Thanks. I just want to let you guys know that these are on lockdown at Best Buy's. I was reading over the weekend at RB Official forums that BB does have them in, but some may get lucky if they find a dumb employee that will get them from the back.

Thanks for the pics, they look cool.

I will try it out tonight. Went to Walmart with a GC (I know EG will get me on this one, LOL!) after doing an exchange and picked this up. I will return the one I got from Gamestop last night as I left it sitting in the packaging since I wasn't too sure what to do. With Walmart if the guitar breaks, I can just take it back and get an exchange vs. Gamestop being jerky about that.

Are you keeping the game or just the guitar? I didn't like the guitar, but I still have a $10 card from Dead Space, and I have a $10 off a $75 purchase as well, which makes it almost tempting to get the guitar/game for 80.

I won't, as I'm trying to be better, but it's tempting. LOL

Re: Rock Band 2

FYI, the touchpad on the GHWT guitar touchpad doesnt work in RockBand at all

there is no cymbal "note" you just have to know whether to hit the cymbal or the drum, no penalty or anything for hitting one or the other.

Also when you do fills or play in freestyle mode the cymbals will sound like cymbals instead of the toms.

I think I will probably crack it open. Curiosity is killing me and since I have played every single GH, I want to check this one out. If it stinks, it will go on ebay and that way it literally makes the guitar free.

If the guitar is good, I might do the same. I don't care about the game but I want the guitar. They also are selling the Les Paul for $50 at BB.
