Rock Band

Rock Band is Guitar Hero multiplied. From the makers of said Guitar Hero.

You can have a lead guitar, a bass guitar, drums, and a mic, playing your favorite rock tunes.

I played guitar hero and rockband for the first time a little bit ago and I was really surprised at how fun they are.

Rock Band ships with 40 of the most epic rock acts ever (with downloadable songs and albums to come)!
Nirvana’s “In Bloom”,
Metallica’s “Enter Sandman”,
Queens of the Stone Age’s “Go With The Flow”,
Foo Figthers’ “Learn to Fly”,
The Hives’ “Main Offender”,
Mountain’s “Mississippi Queen”,
Black Sabbath’s “Paranoid”,
The Strokes’ “Reptilia”,
The Ramones’ “Rockaway Beach”,
Weezer’s “Say It Ain’t So”,
David Bowie’s “Suffragette City”,
Rush’s “Tom Sawyer”,
Stone Temple Pilots’ “Vasoline”,
Bon Jovi’s “Wanted Dead or Alive”,
The Who’s “Won’t Get Fooled Again” – AND MORE!

I was on the drums and a buddy of mine was rocking the mic. He was signing Wanted Dead or Alive offkey. We got an audience, so it couldn't have been that bad.

A little late to preorder. (says the person who waits until the day it comes out to respond) If you want one, you better line up. This is going to be one hot toy for Xmas.

Some ebays have been spotted at $500 for this bad boy.

They are going to be flooded the next few days. If they can't keep up with the initial demand in the first few days, then the prices are going to skyrocket.

That's what I'm hoping for.

You and me both. A buddy of mine is going the cheaper route, and only wants $250 for his via Craigslist.

There are a ton of PS3 ones at Costco.

I got the only Xbox one there.

I tried the drums out on this and was very disappointed. Then again, they weren't offering "Jazz Trio" or "Fusion Quartet." I'd sell a few more points of blood for that game/console.

I have thoroughly enjoyed the drums. Haven't tried the guitar though. I wonder how different it plays from the GH guitars.

Hey Donald and abomb.

We need a rap band model with two turntables mixing to popular rap songs. Help me with that.
