So sadly, my green drums seems to have stopped working. You have to hit it perfectly in the centre for it to register, and even then it's not perfect. That's with the sensitivity turned to 20, too.

So, if I take the drums apart and try that thing where you put the paddle pop stick (popsicle stick for the Americans) in there, will that void my warranty? I really don't want to have to wait weeks to get new drums.

DLC is up on the PAL Wii Music Store. The Raconteurs, The Killers and Smashing Pumpkins.

 

[legend166]

Anyone know about the warranty issue?

 

[painey]

so when you play online with someone playing drums, it doesnt show them registering an orange drum hit, even though they did hit it.. this happens for everyone, right? not just me?

 

[BigBlackGamer]

finally broke down and ordered a full band kit just so I could get the GHWT drums. should be getting it tommorow.

 

[TheGreatDave]

Anyone know about the warranty issue?

There's no seal you break or anything. If you don't leave any tracks they shouldn't be able to tell you did anything.

 

[legend166]

What's the deal with sending back drum kits? How's that go down?

I really want a Queen Track Pack.

"Bohemian Rhapsody" - Queen
"Somebody to Love" - Queen
"Flash" - Queen

I could see "We are the Champions" coming as DLC some day since it was in On Tour. Maybe this also means more Queen... who knows?

Well at least it means the tracks can be got, unlike Led Zeppelin. I seriously doubt they'd put out the same song for DLC that's already in one of the games, though.

 

[TheGreatDave]

I'm sure Queen will be in a (real) Guitar Hero game soon, but I doubt they will be DLC. It seems like a waste.

Not the best choices, but yeah, I need me some Queen.

 

[TheGreatDave]

I'd like a non-cover of Killer Queen.

[xS1TH L0RDx]

HOLY SHIT I WAS TOTALLY UNDER THE IMPRESSION GH:METALLICA WOULD JUST BE A GUITAR GAME

 

[TheGreatDave]

KYUSS

 

[NameGenerated]

Confirmed Metallica Tracks:
Enter Sandman-Eh, ok, already had it before though.
For Whom The Bell Tolls-Fuck yes.
Fuel-Decent song from the Load/Reload era.
Hit The Lights-Nice, I hope to see more from Kill 'Em All.
King Nothing-See Fuel.
Master of Puppets-Oh fuck yes.
No Leaf Clover-Pretty good, although the song is quite repetitive.
Nothing Else Matters-Meh.
Sad But True-Meh.
The Unforgiven-Meh.
Where I May Roam-Meh.

Decent so far, hope to see a lot more earlier tracks though.

 

[TheGreatDave]

Eww, Foo Fighters?! Can't we have one game without them?

Sounds like a good product. I'm all for band games, especially when they're done like this.

 

[Jazzy Network]

Need Harvester of Sorrow kthx.

 

["God's Beard!"]

Not the best choices, but yeah, I need me some Queen.

Yeah, I basically just chose 3 that I like.

 

[The Jer]

they need to sell kick pedals separately and sell better pedals as well for "expert plus" to be effective (I'm looking forward to it!).

Glad to see No Leaf Clover. It's my favorite Metallica song. <3
I was a little worried, since it never made it onto a studio album.

 

[Ridley327]

Holy shit, the non-Metallica tracks thus far are >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> GH:WT's setlist. The Metallica songs have some awesome surprises (Hit The Lights will destroy drummers and guitarists in the first 10 seconds and also hints at more KEA tracks, like MOTORBREATH), but there's already more Black Album than needs to be there. Hopefully, we'll see more diversity in their career in the coming months, but the focus on their 90s stuff within this initial batch has me a tiny bit concerned. Oh well, I guess they needed some stuff to fill out the early gigs.

Still, KYUSS

 

[radrelic]

Needs more AJFA

 

[TheGreatDave]

An official double bass solution is obviously coming. I just hope they release stand alone drums with the game, or at least a drum bundle.

Here are my patent pending Lars drums.

 

[bounchfx]

YESSS, consider this a purchase.

well, either way I would've gotten it. but WOOT.

and Expert +! Holy shit yes! but will this work with the RB2 drumkit? I really REALLY don't want the GH one.

 

[The Jer]

I was gonna make my new bass pedal in about two weeks (right after I move). But, at this point, I may wait and see what they do with GHM and the pedals. Besides, my current adjustments/fixes have (amazingly) worked for several weeks now with absolutely no need for further adjustment or tweaks. I've been been using a drum set I have no problems with *whatsoever* for weeks now.

 

[Struct09]

GH:M sounds more awesome than GH:WT

Can't freakin wait

 

[TheGreatDave]

The lack of talk about disc exports speaks for itself, I guess. Shame if it doesn't have it, but DLC carrying from WT to GH5 is the big issue I care about.

I may have to motivate myself to fix my drums for this game.

 

[jamesinclair]

And this, Harmonix, is how you do a band specific disk.

 

[Sandman42]

I did not buy GH:World Tour. However, I will buy GH: Metallica.

Better songs + Metallica is my favourite band next to Dream Theater.

why haven't you yet?

It's not like you have to go out and get anything right?

It's just re soldering those wires?

I have the iron, not the...stuff you heat up. My ignorance is part of the reason I'm putting off trying to fix them.

 

[Leatherface]

Just wanted to say ASSASSIN is my favorite song off that particular MUSE cd. How can you guys hate on this song?! :_(


p.s.- I haven't played this track in GH yet, but I love the song.

 

[Christoff Yurievich]

a soldering iron uses - are you ready for this? - solder.

GH:M sounds interestingly impressive.

I assumed it would be SOMETHING along those lines, but I've not touched the stuff in...8 years or so. I had to be cautious!

 

[The Jer]

the solder.

It really is incredibly simple. You could just take your drum pads to an electronic shop and ask them for help. There's only a six contacts for the pad sensors; I'm sure they wouldn't mind helping you solder a maximum of six contacts.

 

[TheGreatDave]

I just ordered some of this "solder", so ask me again in a few days.

 

[VOOK]

When will we get Queen

 

[Struct09]

When will we get Queen

When GH:M is released apparently

I bet you it is going to be Stone Cold Crazy, they did put Turn the Page after all.

 

[Struct09]

I bet you it is going to be Stone Cold Crazy, they did put Turn the Page after all.

And I hope Metallica's versions of those songs (Turn The Page, Tuesday's Gone, etc) are on the disc too. Especially Turn The Page.

 

[legend166]

Anyone know what happens with drum kit replacements? Do you have to send yours in and get it fixed? Or do they send a new one and then take the old one? I don't want to be stuck without a kit for 4-6 weeks or something.

Apparently it's only like a week.

 

[legend166]

Really vook?

What's the shipping process like?

 

[Xevren]

Great, they put Mastodon in the Metallica game. I may have to get it now.

 

[Synth_floyd]

Any word on a stand-alone GH drumset?
