Bugs: Recent Topics Paging, Uploading Images & Preview (11 Dec 2020)
Recent Topics paging, uploading images and preview bugs require a patch which has not yet been released.
Beatles ROCK BAND
As a complete and total Beatlemaniac, I'm ready to wait in the parking lot and beat up some old lady that bought it for her grandkids if need be. The Beatles are, and always will be, the best thing to ever happen to popular music. END_OF_FUCKING_STORY. I can't wait to get some friends and some beers, and belt out "Why Don't We Do it in the Road?" "Run for Your Life," "The Night Before" and all the rest of 'em. I love pretty much every one of their songs.
On the other hand, neither Lennon nor Harrison were terribly dextrous players. In fact, on almost ALL their pre-Help! stuff, the guitars had the same two-quarters-four-eighths rhythm. Odds are, the game's going to be a complete breeze. Yeah, yeah, I know, it's the Beatles, who cares? Well, the thing is, pretty much everyone I hang out with plays and instrument, so why don't we just play the friggin' songs ourselves, and save the 100+ bucks it's going to cost?
As far as the other new stuff goes, "meh" doesn't even begin to describe it. I think I'm done buying consoles for good. The only games I ever play on my $400 state-of-the-art Xbox system are Gyruss, Dig-Dug, and Settlers of Catan. The last big game I bought was Puch-Out!!, and even that could've been done on an NES, so a big fart in the general direction of new game consoles.

That's a very good point to remember. When WII SPORTS' bowling is STILL its best application...well, that says it all.
MJ- that's true about the guitar stuff, and the bass and drums for that matter. But the vox are going to be KILLER on some of that stuff. I'm mostly a vocals/bass player, so I'm totally psyched about playing and singing harmony simultaneously. But some of that shit is HARD to sing. I'm practicing in my car almost every day, and I still can't get that "turn you o-o-o-o-o-on" in "A Day in the Life" down.
The full album downloads are going to be where it's at for me...the "hits" are great, but it's stuff like "Glass Onion" that we're going to be rocking.

Btw. The band list for Guitar Hero 5 went live. Tom Petty. King Crimson. Billy Squier. Wild Cherry. Queen & David Bowie. Peter Frampton. Love & Rockets. (So close. Want Bauhaus.)

Yes, the GH5 band list is fucking NUTS. It pisses me off. So much great stuff.
I wonder what Love and Rockets it's going to be...chances are it's "So Alive" or "Sweet Love of Mine". I'd love to see "No New Tale to Tell" or "Dog End of a Day Gone By"...the music of my teenage years...some good-ass singing in that stuff. But yeah, Bauhaus...you have no idea how fucking buck wild I would go on that stuff. I'll show up at Swamp Castle in eyeliner if that ever happens.
Queen & David Bowie...gee, wonder which song that is...

I'd also like to see "Young Americans", "Station to Station", and "All the Young Dudes"...ON ROCK BAND NOT GUITAR HERO!

Anyway, the bottom line is no Beatles until after it's been out a while and he knows the disks are okay.

On the 360, you can load any game onto the hard drive. It checks briefly when you start the game for the disk, and then never touches the DVD drive again. (Hit Y on the game icon to bring up the option menu.)

Sag.

I think the only sensible choice here is "Yin and Yang (the Flowerpot Man)". Anything else and I'm going to start disappearing people from that dev team. Bass players and feedback freaks rejoice!I wonder what Love and Rockets it's going to be...chances are it's "So Alive" or "Sweet Love of Mine". I'd love to see "No New Tale to Tell" or "Dog End of a Day Gone By"...the music of my teenage years...some good-ass singing in that stuff.

Disturbing. But I understand the sentiment.

There's actually some Bauhaus stuff that would be awesome for GH/RB...Daniel Ash is actually probably my favorite guitarist ever. Not the most proficient, but hugely creative.
As for L&R, "Sweet Lover of Mine" would actually be pretty good...but thinking about it, "Kundalini Express" would be one of the better tracks for the format along with "Ball of Confusion" (although it's a cover). I'm betting it's going to be "So Alive" or possibly "Motorcycle" though. Boo.
Shoot, maybe they'll do some David J...a little "Crocodile Tears and the Velvet Cosh"...I'd love to sing that line "you're on a rifle range shooting moving targets in the dark"...
