3 weeks is too long of a wait! :( I will be camped out at my local Best Buy for the next few weeks playing Tom Sawyer over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over
 
I haven't really been following this game at all, mainly cause I already spend too much money on real instruments as it is, but that is a nice setlist.
 
LET THERE BE ROCK!

I'm going to BB every day between now and 11/20.

Also, half the time I'm going completely shit-faced so I have the guts to sing in public.

Its not? That sucks if true. I was planning on buying Rock Band for PS3 then buying GH3 and use the RB guitar.
 
Hey ben, quote this post to get the BBCode for all the songs. Shameless rip from RB forums.

I was hoping someone would catch this one. After my disasterous "Broken Social Scene" one, I knew I had to step my game up.

Im a little bit dissapointed that you cant hear vocal players voices online due to bandwith i guess. I wonder if voicechat/headset will work. Hearing people sing is good for alot of laughs lol

Yeah, but considering what it sounds like just to hear people talk online, it's probably for the best.

I have a good feeling about street dates being broken since DEMOS were being sold to customers. Hopefully we won't have to wait 18 days to get our hands on this marvelous package. :D

about the same metal capacity as a cucumber
For the record, I still demand that RB2 comes with a second kick pedal (I don't care how) for double bass and hi hat action. I wanna live MY Rock Band dream by wailing on awesome double bass patterns! I WANT PROSPICTER MCGOVERN SPEEDS DAMNIT.

Silver coin to whoever knows.

Hm? What's that? I can't hear you over my SUPER KARATE EDIT.
Maybe you should asterix the covers or something. Wouldn't take long since there aren't very many of them at all. :D

Original post rocks............great work BB and the banner creator. :D

Europe here, and it sucks. 1UpShow now has got me interested in this game, dismissed it before I'd watched this weeks show. Anyone know if the 360 version is region free at all?

There's a lot they could add in RB2 and I'm sure it'll come. The only thing I'D want is knowing the purchases songs would work in that version, too.
 
Am I the only one who is thinking about rearranging his furniture to accommodate a Rock Band setup?

I'll be having a launch day get together, so I think I need to set up my 'stage' with a little more room. Also, I think I'll buy some roman candles for the pyrotechnics to spice it up a little.

LOST nights have just gotten much more complicated.
 
Can't wait for this. Unfortunately, I'm going to be too broke to buy this before Xmas. Looks like my Xmas list just got a little deeper.
