There's been worse.

Re: Rock Band 3

At least they know what guitar,bass and drums are. Not many musicians seem to be aware of these things anymore.

So... yeah. I've never even heard three of these songs in my life. And not a fan of "We Built This City", although I might get it.

Nice to not spend 10 dollars for a few weeks I suppose.

We Built this City definitely is the oddball of that group of songs.

Re: Rock Band 3

Has anyone ever had trouble with this game randomly shutting off on them? I think on three different occasions (during a song, during song set up, and loading a practice song) the game has just quit on me and went back to the PlayStation XMB.

I didn't know if this was an isolated bug or...

[goh]

Re: Rock Band 3

Foo Fighters or Nirvana next week then?

Yes people had trouble with that but I thought they fixed it.

It's a well-known PS3 bug, that Harmonix can't replicate with enough consistency to fix. I myself haven't had it happen too often, but there are people that it happens too all the time. I think the best educated guess is some sort of communication glitch with their "Rock Central" servers, but I haven't kept up to date on it. There's a big thread in the Software Support board on the Rock Band forums.

Thanks. I'm just glad it's not my PS3. That's too bad, though. That one that happened "during a song" was actually song 6 of 7 in a set list.

Re: Rock Band 3

Well I guess the solution is to not play while connected online.

Re: Rock Band 3

There's a new version of Still Alive on RBN with Sara from Tegan & Sara doing the singing.
More Rush last week. More Hendrix this week. Totally new and exciting.

Re: Rock Band 3

Yeah pretty boring. I'll probably get Watchtower and Voodoo Child though.

I think the following week is gonna be more Rush again (2112). I like Rush, but I don't need any more.

Re: Rock Band 3

Wheres the cheapest place I can get a normal guitar at? Are they even being sold anymore?

[goh]

Re: Rock Band 3

Which guitar? There's lots of normal guitars to pick from.

There's DLC going to be announced today.

Huey Lewis & the News and 2112 (I think)...annnndddd...Bush. Also Hall & Oates.

Re: Rock Band 3

Don't know Bush. Might have to look up some of their songs.

Hall and Oates should be fun.
