Wow, I thought the Rock Band Stage Kit was silly (until I bought one at Gamestop for 30 bucks, and for that money it's a ton of fun). This is just ridiculous.

Stage floor monitors are a convenience for musicians during live performance. From experience, I can say they're a great help in that situation. But why anybody would choose to listen to game music coming from their feet is beyond me.

Yes, we're way beyond ridiculous now. I was in Best Buy yesterday and noticed that they now have an entire row with nothing but RB and GH games and peripherals. I'm surprised they even put up with it themselves.

I'm sure picking up some busted monitors at a garage sale would largely have the same effect for under $10.

Points for creativity, but that's all it is.A better experience would probably be to use a small cardboard box and pretend it's a monitor. Maybe you could find a box for a CRT monitor and use that while all your drunken friends laugh at how hilarious you are.

The future of live shows:

Bands will be playing "Guitar Hero/Rock Band" versions of their own songs. Complete with giant LCD screen displaying their note-chart (red, green etc.) and star power.

If they fail the song....they get bottles and rocks thrown at them.

If the venue were good, I'd definitely shell $15 to see that.

I feel like politics should generally work the same way.

The point of a monitor is to have a speaker pointed at you when the rest of the speakers are pointed at the audience. Since you have plenty pointed at you, it doesn't make sense. As another commenter pointed out, it might be better to use a cardboard box prop or a dead stage monitor

"It's kind of a cute idea, but we're not sure we're willing to pay $99 to have our 5.1 audio replaced by a single Altec Lansing speaker."

Replaced? You don't know how to hook both up at the same time?!
Get with it Justin.

Rock Band drums CAN get a little loud. Which is why I moved one of my surround sound speakers to a table next to the drums. I will come to your house and do this for you for half the cost of this floor monitor, as well as help you finish any beer in your fridge and five-star Margaritaville on Expert.
