So you suck, AND you’re old. :D

Ah, but since the age of 40, I’ve developed the SUPERPOWER of INVISIBILITY… to even remotely attractive women, anyway… That means I’m less likely to be distracted from gaming, however, so there is a small upside. :-|

Good to know. Has anyone spent a lot of time with an online World Tour band? I wouldn’t mind trying to fill out the band sometime with a couple more QT3 folks.

I think I’m going back on my Spongebob thoughts after actually hearing the songs. I don’t think I could stand them coming up randomly.

Hey, if you need another person to fill out a random band, I’m game. I’m a decent/good guitarist (I’ve finished endless setlist on expert) and would be willing to do vocals on non-metal songs.

See, my thought for April Fool’s was that they needed to include something like Led Zeppelin, say Immigrant Song or Whole Lotta Love, and make it free, then when you get it downloaded it’s actually a Rickroll.

No, the best shot at an April Fool’s joke they have is to have Don’t Stop Believing cut to black two-thirds of the way through the song.

Dude, that would be EEEVIL.

Added. I’ll see if I can find sometime this week or next to get folks together.

I might be interested as well. I’ll play whatever instrument.

If you need a drummer at any point, I’d be glad to join in. Gamertag is sinfonys.

Arioch · 2009-03-29T17:47:21.000Z

I’d be in too on any intrument and the mike, although drums would require certain day times. But sinfonys is a better drummer anyways, as hard as that is for me to admit. Gamertag is SpielerDrei.

P.S.
I’d also be glad if we could manage the Bachman-Turner Achievement.

Reminder:

we still have some pending DLC releases, ETA unknown

Snoop Dogg (remember that? It wasn’t a joke.)
Jane’s Addiction: Nothing’s Shocking

Robert_Sharp · 2009-03-30T03:28:56.000Z

Nothing’s Shocking is one of my favorite all-time albums. REALLY looking forward to that one.

They announced next week’s DLC early: it’s going to be a Toby Keith 6-pack. I’m glad they’re getting more country music even though I won’t personally be getting any use out of it. After the first country pack came out, a friend of mine went home for the holidays and gifted his old 360 and original Rock Band w/instruments to his parents, who had a blast with the game, especially once they started playing the country songs.

Shadarr · 2009-03-30T12:10:11.000Z

I’ll check them out on Youtube before I decide–Gunpowder & Lead and Sin Wagon are both really fun to play.

Rolling down the street smoking endo, sipping on gin and juice…

rowe33 · 2009-03-30T17:53:41.000Z

I’m sure it’s impossible at this point to add to RB2 but wow, sure would be nice to have a countdown when returning from pause. That’s another thing that GH:WT got right…

Shadarr · 2009-03-30T17:57:47.000Z

Yeah, that would be a really nice feature. Any time the phone rings it pretty much fucks my score for that song.

sinfony · 2009-03-30T18:47:03.000Z

You know what would be a nice feature? Some DLC that’s difficult to play that isn’t metal. I like the Metallicas of the world just fine, but I’ll be damned if I’m going to pay money for Megadeth or one of those appalling modern thrash bands just to get some more challenging songs in the game.

Omniscia · 2009-03-30T19:23:31.000Z

That’s why we need more prog! And/or wanky arena rock!

ZekeDMS · 2009-03-30T21:00:36.000Z

As suggested in IRC, more Andrew WK!

How don’t we have Party Hard by now? Honestly, it’d be so fun.

Although even if variety is great, I still want some Dethklok.

Dude, Stevie Ray Vaughn. Some of the Pearl Jam songs aren’t so easy either. They’ve been doing much better on this front lately.
