Those platforms don't matter until they are burning. Then they can be used as a business metaphor and gain value.

I'm getting full bundles of both on PS3. I already own both GH3, Singstar and RB1 on the PS3, along with the TAC Widow Maker and the Nyko Frontman. You tell me what you want tested, and I'll do it. I figure I'll be doing more testing than playing when I get GHWT.

The only problem with WT's setlist is it lacks a super hard song. Satch Boogie doesn't look that difficult, and Pull Me Under isn't really anything remarkable. But DLC will probably fix that; the two boss battle tracks coming out will probably hurt me.

Yeah. I mean, I don't like hard songs. I've probably played Raining Blood 3 times since I beat it. But it's nice to have a challenge to overcome in the career. With DLC and Music Studio stuff its not really the same, because failure is irrelevent. Me never beating TDWDTG in GH3 didn't matter in terms of my progress.
Apparantly no one reads it after the first few pages have been posted in...Spruchy said:
I'll keep the DLC list up to date and link to any new, relevant information.
I'd rather not overcrowd the OP with a wall of text. It's just easier to find if you can look at a smaller post (organized into basic sections) and click on a link for the info you want.
Plus, any information anyone would write about are in the previews that are linked to. I'd pretty much be writing the exact same thing, based off their previews. Which is kind of pointless if I can link to their previews (and it'd make things too crowded, to quote it, it's easier to follow a link and find were you want to go faster).
The music creator is best watched in a video to really be understood rather than just reading about it. I posted what I thought was the best video. If you like a better one, I'll put that one up instead. But, I'd rather not put 10 videos that all say the same thing.
And any info you would try to get from a review, you could get from the preview and figure out if that's what you like or not. Why complicate things by putting redundant information?
And review score are pointless, I'm not just going to post a bunch of numbers (I'm pretty sure there aren't any yet).

Rock Band's thread didn't even have an OP for a month or so 
I bought the stand alone RB2 for 360 and proceeded to take it home and break my original foot pedal in about an hour. Now I need to decide whether to buy RB2 Drums and maybe GH:WT stand alone or break my gaming budget even harder and just buy GH:WT bundle (In addition to needing new drums, I love the Red Octane guitars and would love one to replace our stratocaster "bass" with one). Really tough decision as having bought like 60 or 70 RB DLC songs, I'm pretty locked into the franchise as my main music game, but this years GH looks pretty solid and those drums/guitars look like they have tons of potential.
Really wish we'd start getting some impressions of which drum set is better for using for both games.

GHWT drums are great. The cymbals would be the only thing to worry about. I know the ones I used last month missed a few notes, but none of my equipment has died yet. But I take good care of it.
RB2 drums sound better than RB1's, but supposedly some have had issues with the blue and yellow pads. No idea yet.

The fundamental difference between GH and RB is GH takes in to account the drums connected and accomadates for them. If you hook a GH kit up to Rock Band, there's no work put in to making the layout logical, at least that we know of. While I don't think a company should neccessarily be rewarded for that, I'd say it's a pretty good reason to consider using the RB drums over the GH ones. Personally, I'm giving away my RB drums when World Tour comes out, so if Rock Band doesn't play nicely with them I'll probably just not play drums in that game.

I wonderfully improved game .. Really sad that the tracks aren't that good .. I wish that I could play Rock Band 2 with GH:WT game play
TheGreatDave said:
It's SIGNIFICANTLY easier to shrink a chart, than to expand it. Kudos to Neversoft, but I won't be surprised if some of the cymbal charting is a little nonsensical when using RB drums in GH: WT. And I mean, it's not like the GH: WT drums are completely incompatible.

I'd just like Rock Band to put in some sort of config tool, where you can define your own layouts and pick it before each song. Obviously expanding a 4 note track is way more effort than it's worth, but a little effort wouldn't hurt.

The link mentions the Rock Band 2 guitar and drums, it makes no mention of the Rock Band 1 guitar and drums...
I'm guessing they'll work, but I don't want to be wrong...
DemonCleaner said:
There's only two pieces of information that I've seen regarding this:
- You can connect any MIDI drum kit to the GH drum kit to play on.
- It's possible to import songs using MIDI
So at very least, the drum kit has at least a MIDI input port. It may not be accurate so say that it's a MIDI drum kit because I don't think it's a given that the above information means it has MIDI output.
Oh, also it means that we might be seeing a whole lot of people cheating on drum tracks, since it sounds like it would be possible to program a song into a computer or drum machine and have it play back a song for perfect score.

meh, thought i could drum the hell out of my pc-software with this. too bad.
The proper name for one of these threads has already been figured out long ago in the old Rock Band thread: Music Game Warriorz!
This is something we all know, but do not talk about. That does not keep it from being true.
"Hotel California" does not belong anywhere. It is the sort of song that should not only be collectively wiped from the minds of all people everywhere, but the concept of making it again should somehow be removed as well so that it will never, ever occur at any point in history retroactively.
Also the discussion of metal in GH3 and GH:WT is an important one. The difference is that GH3 generally, but not exclusively, had good metal in it. Classic metal of a quality that is undisputed. GH:WT has much more shitty metal and far less classic metal. It also has more shitty songs from plenty of other genres as well. It seems that for ever really, really good song we must be saddled with one song so terrible that I could scarcely imagine something that bad was capable of existing.
Still, even when it comes to metal songs that I might really like, say... Iron Maiden, I generally find it unpleasant to play in the game. It's just the way it is. I'm just not good enough to play it and have it be enjoyable.

I can't believe I forgot that. I absolutely love that track and it was wonderfully used in The Big Lebowski. Proof that it's not so much the song that is the problem, but, of course, the Eagles that are the problem. Thank you for reminding me.

You can't blame The Jer for that though. He likes nu-metal.

"obscure, unrelated cultural reference goes here" = "I can't think of an obscure, unrelated cultural reference to go here"
GH3 & GHIV guitars are cross compatible accross most, if not all, platforms. Someone get the chart out.
Guitar Hero 3 had lots of metal, but most of it was shite. Not enough Preist, Dio, (decent)Sabbath, Megadeth.
This game needs the Crossroads guitar duel as DLC.

It had Iron Maiden (title track from their best/most well-known album), Slayer (title track from their best/most well-known album), and Metallica from the period where while they were on their way down they were not yet as horrible as they would become. If it had been "Master of Puppets" instead of "One" and "Peace Sells... But Who's Buying" had also been included it would have basically just been a collection of the title tracks from the most important metal albums of the 80s. That's pretty damn good.
The second-to-last tier, however, yeah... that's almost always been a dump for terrible songs. Lots of unpleasant nu-metal and modern metal crap tends to end up in that tier in GH1-3. It could have been worse though. It's really only the Slipknot and Disturbed songs that brought the whole quality of metal down. GH2 had much more shitty metal.

I will defend to the death your right to start Rock Band threads, regardless of whether they have "content" or "facts".

I don't ignore the sock he has stuffed down his pants when he's going to door-to-door in Hollywood to tell people that he's a pederast.
I will now go and watch that again, just to silence the criticism I'm getting here.
Not to mention: what are you doing up at 5 AM? I mean, I know I'm up, of course I'd be up. But shouldn't you be asleep like the normal people in our time zone?
Also, Dave, you mentioned you were going to watch it. Opinion?
