Rock Band 3

re: Rock Band 3

Another song confirmed for RB3...

"Roundabout" by YES!

This sound will be amazing on all 5 instruments. Honestly, this could end up being one of my favorites of the soundtrack and I've only seen 23 songs.

If that song is in the game I will lose my mind. Love that band and the entire album that song is from (Fragile) should be DLC!

re: Rock Band 3

Pro vid: http://e3.gamespot.com/video/6264546/

Interview: http://e3.gamespot.com/video/6264547/

Also they cleared up during the stage show that it's 83 bands and 83 songs. No one has 2.

I listened to those 2000's songs I hadn't heard. You don't need anyone to scream at you until your ears bleed just play the 00's songs in this. Thought it couldn't get any worse after RB 2 but was I ever wrong there! One of them is in Spanish or Portuegse!

Man that pro controller looks sweet! I have a real guitar and suck at it but this looks fun.

I'm loving the 80's selections. Hopefully there is more good stuff to be added in there later. And the 2000's stuff looks incredibly weak.

2000's stuff looks terrible.

Oh you've got no idea,incredibly weak is a huge understatement...

Honestly, I don't mind Combat Baby. I've certainly heard worse songs.

I figure, I'll never get a perfect soundtrack and I accept that. Overall, the soundtrack so far looks pretty great from 60s-90s.

A video showing showing "Rainbow In The Dark" on Guitar Pro.

That solo makes my hand hurt. But I can't wait to try it.

God, this game looks amazing. I know going to cost way to much, but I don't think I'm going to be able to resist have a "pro" set-up for all instruments.

Speaking of which, any plans for a real bass guitar for the game?

re: Rock Band 3

I hope this is a very early bulid and they're really not still using animations and venues from RB1. They've had 2 years to work on this game. It should all be new.

[Blzer]

re: Rock Band 3

That's freakin' impossible. I mean that in two ways... one is that it's just impossible to be able to respond that quickly with numbers. The way it would work before was different because you were just sliding positions, you didn't need colors. Now you actually have to read that number that is on the screen and then transpose.

It is also difficult because that isn't how tabs are read. Tabs are left to right normally, so this will be a whole new ballgame for people that aren't used to this way of reading tablature. I want to get into this, but not quite with these kinds of songs on Expert just yet.

It remains to be seen whether older songs before RB3 will be able to use this feature. There are many songs I can play with my eyes closed that are from RB1, RB2, RB Green Day or DLC.
