your avatar just keeps getting sexier

For once I have to agree with you Samfish. The new album is tops.

Too bad this deal was probably made through EMI instead of the band, or I would actually hope to play something from In Rainbows on Rock Band soon.

I'm with you, Activision has put out a sad effort so far, and they really need to fix their add-on pricing and options to compete with RB. RB comes out with new songs constantly.

But really, as long as you can afford it, RB is not bad for solo play either. If you can deal with GH solo, RB is the same thing, except you can also choose to try drums and vocals. And on the chance you do have some friends come over, it's a great multiplayer experience. Or you can always get a mic stand and try vocals and guitar at the same time.

You don't even need a mic stand. You can use a headset instead (although you then have to work out where the controller for the headset will sit while you're playing drums/guitar).

Besides, if you do buy the whole set, people will suddenly become your friends.

more like blur ;)

I'll second the Blur comment.

Yes, Blur please. I'd love to sing Country House so I can be motivated to actually learn all the lyrics. That song is so good. I'll definitely be getting the Radiohead track, but where is Paranoid Android? There isn't a more perfect Radiohead song for the game.

I'll second the Paranoid Android comment while I'm at it, too.

was @ samfish regarding radiohead. cwazy reply system.

I passed it the first time on Expert. It took a few measures to find the right pitch on a couple of phrases, but that was like the other songs at that level: matching both pitch and duration is important.

At the lower levels, I think duration is more important. You may have to hold notes longer than you'd think when you listen to the song.

Harmonix has made it well known that they are trying to get songs from these bands with no avail.

"Not enough friends around" is only one way to look at it - you can play the game by yourself by playing one of the 4 instruments, versus playing a guitar by yourself in GH. You don't have to have There's lots of ways to play - you can play the Guitar or Bass and it's like playing GH, you can play the drums which is a pretty unique experience in home video games, or you can sing, which is sort of like Karaoke with often-original recordings backing you up, unlike the majority of Karaoke. Sometimes I'll just sing while my girlfriend plays drums - certainly a different experience from 'Guitar Hero.'

If you like Guitar Hero, don't avoid the game because you can't imagine yourself ever having 3 other people around enough to make it 'worth it,' it's really fun even by yourself and the precedent of weekly DLC is making it a game that might be around for a long time.

The drums did interest me, and if the guitar is as good as GH, then the song list seems far better for RB than GH.

I've never played GH tbh but it does seem interesting and I'll play it at some stage (or RB).

Yeah I don't think so, I'd have to say =w= is one of the most influential bands of the 90's, next to Nirvana of course.

And I hope you know I'm not talking about their new stuff, I'm talking about Blue and Pinkerton.

I think he just meant that he didn't want to hear a cover of Chrissie Hynde. I think it's just not the same!

I LOVE Brass in Pocket, because my dad played it like a hundred times when I was a kid. ^_^

Speaking of your avatar... : )

I dunno, There are a lot of songs they could put up by radiohead... For their new stuff I'd really want to try Reckoner... Old stuff, maybe Blow Out... honestly I don't care, radiohead is radiohead to me.

And that of course was supposed to go in the "Needs Oasis and Blur' thread above...
