Excited People talking utter rubbish about Rock Band. And Kilts.

[blagwedge]

This thread is the illegitimate offspring of the EU/AUS Rock Band discussion, which is tending to go off topic quite a lot, so this is a thread for all us EU people who are just getting REALLY REALLY REALLY excited about the game!

I will of course be doing the mandatory countdown EVERY morning. So talk about whatever you want dudes!!!!

[Konador]

Its Out Soon But My Degree Deadline Is The 27th So I Cant Have It Till The 28th Boooo!

[miche.cs]

Amazing thread title sir. I dig your sense of humour. You're keeping me amused at work thoroughly. Are you at work btw?

Pfft your degree. Get Rock Band. During my disertation all I did was play Knights of the Old Republic and then scribble nonsense between 2 and 3 am. Mind you I knew that my dissertation couldn't affect the outcome of my overall grade cos I'd messed up a few exams so I guess that didn't motivate me any!

[Konador]

Yeh 3 years of work wasted for 4 days of Rock Band! (well 2 years, this year has already been somewhat sabotaged by GH3). Unfortunately its not just a dissertation - I'm doing Media Practice so I have films and portfolios to hand in, a whole years worth of grades resting on 1 deadline...

[miche.cs]

Ah pressure. See I did a Film and Media degree but opted to do a written dissertation rather than a film piece. I was too burnt out and my gran had just died so I really didn't wanna put myself through the hell that comes with working with 4 other people on a film. So I just talked smash about Quentin Tarantino for a million words. Good luck with everything dude.

[Konador]

Cheers :) I've done a mini-dissi on a Post-Modern reading of Pirates of the Caribbean (some lame visual culture module) but the rest is wrapped up on my film, interactive locative media piece, and website, along with the work I'm doing on 4 other pieces.

Every time I think WOO 14 DAYS tILL ROCK BAND!!! I also thinkg **** 14 DAYS TILL HAND-IN!!!

[miche.cs]

Lol so you get excitement followed by fear. I love it. You'll be a bag of nerves next week. We'll be sure to be supportive and not wind you up in the slightest;) In fact I don't expect to see you online next week young man. Get your uni work done!

See I did a post modern reading of Tarantino films up to Kill Bill 1 (the second one hadn't come out yet...eek showing my age). Basically arguing whether he's a plagerist or he just likes to do homages.

[Booker]

In a vain attempt to get this back on topic before it gets moved somewhere else.......

11 days to finish GTA4 and Mass Effect and keep the wife happy ;)

And to top it all off I've just found out I've won a place in the Football Manager Live beta test which will start at the end of the month. I can see me sleeping on the couch for the next wee while!!

I'd spent the whole evening looking at fridges and cookers and other household things on the internet with my lady, and as soon as i saw that, i jumped out of bed, rocketed downstairs to grab my guitar, booted up my xbox and no demo......then i went back on the forum and saw that he was only kidding.........AAAAAARGH!!!!!

I keep wondering if i should buy a replacement drum pedal, because i've read all over that the one that comes with the game breaks quite easily. But whatever i want to get it'll have to wait, i've had to hock my liver to be able to afford Rock band inthe first place!:)

Lmao I had one foot on the floor when I realised the guy was taking the mickey. I have had a wee shot on the PS2 though. My big bro just got the game to try it out on guitar/bass. That was a loooong time ago now mind. I did like it a lot. But I'm looking forward to the next gen features. My rather lovely other half bought me a 360 in Feb for my birthday in anticipation of the release...well actually she wanted to play Burnout, but that was beside the point apparently. Funny how the game I got with it was Burnout eh? Heh, but I'm not complaining. I'd been humming and hawing over buying one since Guitar Hero 2 game out, but then I got married and blah, blah, blah. Looking at fridges, you'll know what I mean:D

Tell me about it Blag, had to sell my PSP on ebay and can only afford the rest because of my credit card. Thank god they don't take money from you straight away when you pre-order.

[miche.cs]

I sold a shed load of stuff on ebay to be able to afford it. Sold my original old school DS with 7 games, a camera lens, Guitar Hero 3 for the Wii (I just wasn't playing it, I'd gone back to GH2 on the Xbox), Skate for the 360 and a few other things. Luckily they all sold for a good price so I had some extra cash to buy the pedal metal billet with hinge and some gum rubber pads for the drum kit.

I know....i'd never be able to do it if that was the case. I could bore you all with how complicated my life is becoming, me and my lass rent a flat, but we've just got ourselves a housing association flat, so all of my lass's family are now helping us decorate, on evenings and weekends, and some of them are buying us furniture, since we're so skint. What they dont know is that i've got £130 sitting in my bank account waiting for Rock Band, that i've borrowed from somewhere else, so when i do get it, we've got to keep it a secret from all of her family, otherwise ill get grief for buying a computer game when i should be buying fridges etc, so the weekend the game comes out, i'm going to down at the new flat most of the day, painting and wallpapering, and pretending im not having a MASSIVE rock band party at the old flat when i've finished!!!

I swear life gets more complicated the older you get.

But I bought mine off his ebay shop. Not that it was cheaper. I just wanted to buy it through ebay.

[miche.cs]

They're not bad priced in all honesty.

The drum pads were £16.21 GBP all in and the pedal was £21.53 GBP. Really the pedal I've bought as a sort of preventative measure I guess. I've not decided whether to stick it on straight away or not. I'll see. I have a heavy foot though. I know I'll stomp the heck out of the standard pedal.

Yeah, if you are going to play drums, get a replacement pedal now. Throw the stock one in the bin. (See I said bin instead of garbage can. :-)

Lol thank you for your effort to british up your advice. Yeah, from what I read around the various topics on the forum the stock pedal is commonly known as rubbish. I just don't really think I can justify shelling out for the Omega pedal or such. As cool as it looks it's just super pricy. I'd get shot at dawn if I came home with one. Hoping the pedal metal does it's job of reinforcement.

[Subtemperate]

I'm looking forward to it, though our mail delivery has been getting later and later... so if it doe's show up I get the feeling it will be whilst I am at work as I am working 1230 till 2130 on the friday.... I plan to run out of work for an hour if I didnt get it before work, just in case I can pick it up at the PO.

But then, I ain't going to be playing the drumkit at 930 at night... so I guess it'll wait till the next day. Though I am sure I will give the guitar a shot straight off lol

sorry, i would be posting more but have unfortunately had to deal with unexpected (and unwelcome) bouts of work.

So will the stock pedal not last even one night? I really cant afford to get another one until the end of the month

Oh no! Not work! Somebody stick a paperclip in a printer and wonder why it's not working?

I think you'll be ok dude as long as nobody stomps it. I would play shoes off, feet wrapped in bubblewrap just incase:p But seriously. I think it'll be a-ok if you're playing sensibley with it.

Subtemperate, aye we're all crossing our fingers for delivery. There's all sorts of fear and paranoia with the postal service and our over excitement to receive the game.

[Subtemperate]

Well I managed to get the following saturday, monday and tuesday off. So if I don't get it, I will be highly un-amused lol

I can cope without the instruments turning up, but please just let the game be delivered.

....When will the scottish version of these games... Bagpipe hero take on do you think? lol

[Klopek]

Just to chuck this in guys, since you're all clearly buying it:

Where have you purchased the game (disc) from?

I was hoping to grab this for £30 but I can't beat £38 at the moment!


Thanks.

I've got the Monday off anyhoo as it's a bank holiday. So I'll get a Fri-Mon run at it. But I'm going to a gig on the Fri night so hopefully I'll get some play in before going out. I think all of mine will come together due to the way I ordered it. So...fingers crossed!

And argh...the horror...Bagpipe Hero... I cannae think of anything worse other than possibley Guitar Hero: The Proclaimers

Klopek, try going to www.gameplay.co.uk and buying it there with the code dt7aquwhf that'll get you down to 34.99 maybe. Not sure how much it is on gameplay but that code gets you a fiver off.

[Booker]

I would be happy with some Scottish DLC.

The Almighty, The Proclaimers (would love to hear some of our american friends trying to sing some of their stuff :eek:) or Teenage Fanclub.

Just no Travis (used to go to school with the bassplayer and he's an ass :mad:)

Nice try but unfortunately it says the voucher won't work - possibly because the order isn't of a high enough value. Regardless, they're charging £50 for it! That's the RRP! What a joke!

Cheers but my current favourite is www.Shopto.net - £37.99 and in the past they've been quite good about getting things delivered extremely quickly. Also, if a friend recommends the product to you and you purchase, he'll receive £1 credit for a future purchase. Obviously if you're both buying it you can recommend the product to each other.

Ach sorry dude. Nah, I used it on a pre order for Guitar Hero Aerosmith and it was 30 odd quid. Aye, I didn't realise they were charging full rrp. Maybe the voucher is oot of date.

Yeah I've heard very good things about Shopto, which is why I've preordered the entire bundle with them, as PLAY won't let me order with them unless I phone them.

But Shopto who are based on mainland UK, are also sending it with TNT Next day shipping, so I'm pretty much guranteed to have it by release day, possibly the day before depending when they dispatch as Friday releases tend to be dispatched on a Wednesday from online retailers. Hell if First class Royal Mail can reach me from Down south up to Scotland next day, im pretty sure TNT next day will manage it :p

Hey, another Scot! This thread is just full of northerners now. Hmmm...see I really cannae stretch my budget I don't think to change my order from play. But I really want it on the Friday:( I think I'm sticking with it though. I just gotta hope fate's with me...and the royal mail. I think Play are covering their arses by giving out those dates. My big bruv has ordered it from Amazon so I guess if mine doesn't turn up I'll be jobbing round to his to play for a bit until mine comes.

£146.99 all in bud

Amazon are still cheaper. Although they're only cheaper with first class postage. Next day and Shopto are cheaper.

Yeah, Play orders will most likely get to you by Friday, although it really does depend on the Royal Mail. I mean usually when i order games they are sent from down south by First Class postage, and i get them next day, although in one case i remember not receiving it till 3 days afer. So I'm guessing that your right with Play just covering their backsides by saying its not guranteed for friday. But anyways if its sent out on Wednesday it should be there for friday, hoping mines is sent out wednesday too, then I should get it on Thursday :p


As for Kilts, I shall be wearing a Kilt next month! for a school leaving Ball, havnt worn one since a few years ago,when I was at a Wedding.

Play are actually based in Jersey. That's why it sometimes takes a bit for them to get stuff to you. As said in other threads, anything over £70 bucks and Play will send it Special Delivery. That generally means the Royal Mail move their butts a bit quicker. It should also mean I get it by 7 am on the Friday if, as you reckon, they send it out Wednesday. Really just depends when it's released to retailers. I know in the past most games get to the retailers Weds and some send preorders out on that day so it gets to folk on the Thursday. That's what happened with my Mario Kert from Zavvi.

Im going to stick with play as well, i was getting a bit paranoid about delivery dates and what not, but Play are the cheapest ive found so far (£132.98), so i'm going to stick with them, £15 difference with shopto may not sound like much, but its more than i've got to spare.....

Here's something to really upset you, lol. Anybody who has ordered anything from Play.com before will know that even items within the same order will be delivered seperately. What if your instruments are sent via next day but your game sent out standard? The last thing you want is a box of instruments and no game!

Not trying to influence anyone to change, just pointing that out. Play's price is pretty good.

I'm currently just getting the drums from Teso (£60 before they put the price up). So there's a chance my game will arrive first. Still, I've got no problem rocking out on my Les Paul until they show up!

I still have that nagging feeling about faulty/****e drums though. I really hope they just work properly. Also with this GH4 announcement. What if their drums are significantly better? What if my Rock Band drums won't work with GH4 (likely, I'd imagine) - how many of these plastic instruments am I going to end up with?!

See I've had people say that to me before but I've never had that with play. Anytime I've ordered more than one thing it's all came at teh same time. All it says on play is Please note that your goods may be sent to you in instalments. So I dunno. Guess I've been lucky eh?

I reckon if the drums work in RB a lot of folk will trade up for them as they look sturdier. That doesn't mean anything mind. They may be rubbish! I think if the RB drums aren't compatible with GH4 I won't be drumming in it. I'm not wasting more money and cluttering up the houst with more peripherals just cos of competition between competitors.

Ah, that's interesting. I've never had items bundled together in the same box/package. During one of their clearance sales I ordered 20 CDs and every single one came within its own jiffy bag. Poor postman!

It's a horrible shame really. Harmonix try and let you use whatever hardware you want while Activision/Red Octane totally halt that with the PS3 Les Paul - so by being such bastards they've effectively made their own hardware the most universal, since it works in both. They win. Lame.

The only reason the 360 Les Paul still works is because it uses Microsoft's standard proprietary wireless technology, correct? I wonder if Activision/Red Octane will be able to block the drums because they're wired? I don't really know how this all works.

Lol 20 CDs. That's hilarious. I can just see his face. Did they all come on the same day? I think if that does happen the chances are the instruments will come but the game wont. If that happened it would blow majorly. But I'd be tempted to hot foot it into town, buy a copy, and then return that when mine turned up. Stick it on the old credito card or something and then it's easily refunded.

You are correct about the wireless tech. Although I'm not sure how it all works wired. For example Singstar Mics don't work at all with Karaoke Rev. Only USB ones like the official ones or logitech ones do.

[Klopek]

Lol 20 CDs. That's hilarious. I can just see his face. Did they all come on the same day?

I think they came over two or three days. They were sent from Play.com at the same time, so I imagine they were just piled at the sorting office and sent to me in chunks.

On another note, this McDonalds DLC discount offer. I noticed that the European release date and the MD offer overlap. Anbody know if the prices will be lowered here also? I'd hope so, especially considering the tracks cost $1 when first released in the US anyway! I was thinking about picking up that crushcrushcrush song but see that one's already expired. Bummer.

Hi guys,
I used to show my face around the old threads quite a lot but once it was announced I only popped back from time to time to make sure it wasn't suddenly not coming out til August... good to see there's a lot of people who still want to discuss it online.

Are peeps like Donkeydood and Bassmasta still knocking around?

OK, here's a question for you....well more of a "this is what I decided". I was looking at my games the other day coz I kept a load with the intention of part exing just for RB and I clocked GH2 and 3. Now GH2 is getting part exed and was debating whether or not to keep or swap GH3. All of a sudden it occured to me - yeah sure, I could keep GH3 and occasionally play guitar to Slipknot and Disturbed OR I can swap that for more money off RB and play guitar, bass, drums or sing along to some decent phukking MetallicA tunes!!!!

Just wondered if anyone else agreed or if there are people who felt a certain affinity with GH and were planning to keep it alongside the (hopefully) far superior RB...

[blagwedge]

Hi guys,
I used to show my face around the old threads quite a lot but once it was announced I only popped back from time to time to make sure it wasn't suddenly not coming out til August... good to see there's a lot of people who still want to discuss it online.

Are peeps like Donkeydood and Bassmasta still knocking around?

OK, here's a question for you....well more of a "this is what I decided". I was looking at my games the other day coz I kept a load with the intention of part exing just for RB and I clocked GH2 and 3. Now GH2 is getting part exed and was debating whether or not to keep or swap GH3. All of a sudden it occured to me - yeah sure, I could keep GH3 and occasionally play guitar to Slipknot and Disturbed OR I can swap that for more money off RB and play guitar, bass, drums or sing along to some decent phukking MetallicA tunes!!!!

DonkeyDood and BassMasta are definitely still posting in the EU/AUS Rock Band dicussion thread, good to have u back with us! Now where do i find the info on Guitar Hero IV that everyones talking about?

[blagwedge]

I'm a southerner! Just thought I'd pipe in again for that :P
Right... work work work... must do work...

Thats ok, we'll let you off with that....:)

[miche.cs]

There is a thread in General I believe....I have to go home so can't be bothered posting the link. Go look for it:)

[miche.cs]

Thanks Klopek.

Just before I left work they did the weekly draw thing they do where folk win crap (it boosts moral and such apparently) and I won a £20 Amazon voucher...dang I think I'm jumping ship from Play.com and getting me some guaranteed next day delivery on Amazon. I feel like a traitor!

[Subtemperate]

I'm going to be holding onto my GH2 and GH3 at least for the time being, because I know somewhere down the line I will want to have another go at them... for some reason or another. That being said, I don't think either will get played all that often after next week lol

[miche.cs]

Morning Y'all. 9 days to go!

[Booker]

Morning Miche

I guess Blag must have some work to do this morning.

Just realised I've got a 3 day weekend when it comes out, keeping my fingers crossed everythin turns up on the Thrusday/Friday :cool:

Just updated my DLC list and need more MS Points. Looks like my credit card is coming to the rescue again :rolleyes:

Heh, probably. I was busy up til about 10:30. Aye I've got a three day weekend too. But I've booked the Friday off. So four days. Unfortunately Indian Jones is out that weekend too! But I think we're going to try squeeze in an advance showing on the 22nd after work and leave the weekend for Rock Band. Well apart from the gig I'm going to the Friday night. But at least I'll have had the day to get to grips with it if it arrives.

Aye I keep taking a swatch at the DLC and going eep, that's gonna cost me! Luckily I got 1000 free with my GTA pre-order which also game with a fiver off 2100 points at HMV. So I got another 2100 for £15 squid. Still not quite enough for all the DLC I want though! Check out Tesco btw. They do 2100 points for about £14 I believe. Free delivery.

How you guys and gals doing this morning?

[miche.cs]

I'm good sir. Bit tired. The kitten jumped on my head this morning at 5 am and demanded food. Everyone is still talking about the UK release over in the EU thread. Lol. Don't think they'll ever give it back to those with no news what so ever.

I did put my two cents in earlier, but someones already beaten me to the countdown!!!! I watched "Hard to Handle" on youtube three times last night, man i cannot WAIT to play that song.

You requested any songs via the website Miche?

[blagwedge]

I requested Remedy by the Black Crowes by the way, wasnt sure what to put in the reason box though, i just really like the song....

[miche.cs]

I'm yet to make a request. I didn't even know that we could! Remedy's a good choice. I love the Black Crowes. The new album is awesome, possibley even to the max;)

Just updated my DLC list and need more MS Points. Looks like my credit card is coming to the rescue again :rolleyes:


I have totally blagged it with the MS points - I got 1000 for free for buying Mass Effect from HMV, 1000 for free for pre-ordering GTA4 with HMV, then when it arrived it had a voucher book which included £5 off 2100 points.

I worked it out to be approximately £30 worth of MS points for free :D

[miche.cs]

Blag - I watch ALOT of American TV. It happens on occasions. My dialect is all over the shop.

Greggerfer - smart boy:) I was hoping there would be some deals going around bundling points in with Rock Band but no such luck! So far I've only spent £15 on the discounted ones from HMV, so I think I might get another 2100 off Tesco. I had 250 left over from the initial 500 I loaded in when I got the Xbox. So at the minut I'm sitting with 3350. Will prob get from Tesco come pay day. Or maybe pay day next month. See what the bank tells me:D

[ciabb64]

Morning All(well its afternoon now, damn my sleeping in), 9 Days to go cant wait!

I'm sitting here trying to learn Hamlet Quotes for an English exam tomorow yet all I can think about is Rock band :p

Ive got around 2000 points already on my xbox, I also have £20 HMV gift voucher, so should be able to get 4200 points card for around £15, as im sure it costs around £35. Hopefully around 6000 points will be enough for the DLC that I want :D

[Klopek]

I already bought 2 2100 point cards in anticipation! I'm certainly going to buy the Metallica pack, thrash pack and rush pack (that was a pack, right?). There's probably a few more I've forgotton about. Shall see whether it's worth picking up the Judas Priest album too. I was supposed to save the points but I've already spent 800 points on Rez! With the release date so close I should be able to hold out now!

I only noticed the request a song bit a few days ago. I went with this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fn48SSfO4GY - yeah, I want a challenge.

[blagwedge]

thats not bad, i dont suppose they would do that if u bought GTAIV in store would they? Its just im very probably buying that after work....

[Ooishi]

Ugh, it's not the lack of MS points, it's the lack of memory left on my Hard-drive...Final Fantasy XI takes up so much...

I must fork out for a tonne of points though...I need the Metallica pack; among others.

[miche.cs]

thats not bad, i dont suppose they would do that if u bought GTAIV in store would they? Its just im very probably buying that after work....

It was a pre order thing really I think dude.

Btw guys, I think if I remember right the 4200 card in HMV was closer to £40. Maybe over. I cannae mind. It was last weekend I was in.

How do I go about requesting then? I can't be arsed looking around for myself today. Tired. Lazy, etc.

Man they really know how to squeeze the pennies out of us eh? I'm not gonna complain cos I really wanna play the game and the price isn't too bad. It's a lot. But when you think GH is around £60 on average and with this you're getting a drum kit also...meh it all evens out in my head. They just know how to keep us spending:D

But GH3 included the game with the guitar for £60!! It's not the same at all!

If you scroll all the way to the bottom of a forum page you'll see the request a song link in the page's footer, or whatever it's technically called.

[Booker]

I was supposed to save the points but I've already spent 800 points on Rez!

This is why I haven't redeemed the 2100 points I've already got, too many temptations to spend on Live.

Going to wait till I get the game and then put them on and spend them :D

[face777]

I would be happy with some Scottish DLC.

The Almighty, The Proclaimers (would love to hear some of our american friends trying to sing some of their stuff :eek:) or Teenage Fanclub.

Just no Travis (used to go to school with the bassplayer and he's an ass :mad:)

Gawd no... Sons & Daughters, Arab Strap and The 1990's ftw, more like! ;0

[blagwedge]

Blag - I watch ALOT of American TV. It happens on occasions. My dialect is all over the shop.



Have u ever watched The Wire? Me and the missus watched that and couldnt stop talking like Baltimore gangstas for a fortnight!

[blagwedge]

Gawd no... Sons & Daughters, Arab Strap and The 1990's ftw, more like! ;0

What, the theme tune from Sons and Daughters the soap opera? Thats not very rock:)

Actually i'm probably the only one here old enough to remember Sons and Daughters....how depressing....

[Subtemperate]

Since I am from Australia, where that was made... I would suggest you are wrong :P

[miche.cs]

Aye...fair point Klopek. Can you not tell I'm trying to justify the price to myself?:D

Oh I see the request thing. I'll get on that. Think I might request some Rocket From The Crypt. On a Rope would be heckuva lot of fun.

My bro keeps telling me to watch the Wire. I will. Soon. I promise;) When we watched Deadwood I went about talking like an old school cowpoke for weeks. The word 'aint' was far too prevalent in my speech.

No I remember my Ma watching it when I was a nipper. The theme tune was something along the lines of Soooons and daughters...tears and laughter...blah, blah, blah. It wisnae as good as The Waltons lets face it;)

But seriously...Sons and Daughters are a Scottish band that I've never heard but know I won't like, lol. Just kidding.

[face777]

Ah, saw them in my Freshers Week (Glasgow Uni) and got a kiss off one of the singers (yes, female before someone says SOMETHING) :p Very drunk period in my life... but their music, despite sounding almost identical (which is no bad thing if you like the style) is fast, hard, and the accent undeniably Scottish. Americans would probably leap at the chance of such DLC, with the amount we get over here looking for 'heritage'

I'm pretty sure the chick singer is married to the fella from Idlewild. You see them toodling about the West End a fair bit. I was just never into that whole Glasgow/Scottish music scene. I know why people like it, I just could never dig it. Frans Ferdinand, Sons and Daugthers, Belle and Sebastian etc I could take 'em or leave 'em really. Now if there was some Wet, Wet, Wet in the DLC....ok, just kidding. I seriously don't dig Marti Pellow's junkie wailing:D

[Greggerfer]

thats not bad, i dont suppose they would do that if u bought GTAIV in store would they? Its just im very probably buying that after work....

fraid it was pre-order only HOWEVER TAKE NOTE FRIENDS - HMV are doing 1000 free points if you pre-order the new Ninja Gaiden

I've got the red ring of death!!!!!!

I called Microsoft and i've got to send it back!!!! 3 weeks turnaround!!!


NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

i've waited an eternity to play this game , and now i've got to wait 3 more weeks!!!!!!

That's ridiculous!!! What terrible timing!

My cousin decided to host a "gaming night" and invited me and a bunch of friends over. We lugged over our most recent favourite games including Guitar controllers and ordered some food. About 8 seconds after turning on the 360, as he accesses the system blade - bam. Frozen screen. Restarts console and there are the rings! WORST TIMING EVER!

If it helps, I think he got his console repaired quite quickly (this all happened within the last 3 months) - so should hopefully reflect thier current work rate. What won't help, however, is that it broke again about 2 weeks later. :mad:

I appreciate your enthusiasm rock sister, but i have tried unplugging everything, plugging everything back in, plugging in a few things i probably shouldnt have ( erm but i wont go into that ) and still nothing. The Red ring stares defiantly back at me like an undercooked sausage.....

I looooooooooooooved deadwood, it was brilliant, i'd make my girlfriend a cup of tea, and she'd say things like "much obliged". Of course the most popular word in deadwood is one that i probably cant say here....:)

Heh, heh. Aye. Indeed. A lot of the cast of Deadwood are turning up in the spin off prequel to Battlestar, Caprica. Trixie's gonna be in it...cannae mind who else.

Man...I'm so sorry about your Xbox. If only we all lived closer to you we'd take pity and invite you round!

My pedal reinforcement and drum silencers turned up today. That only took a week for them to arrive from the USA. Not too shabby at all.

What did you do to deserve such a horrible karmic twist? Maybe it's all that lying about having no money but then having money to buy RB;) I really do feel for you bud. I'm glad you've got pals coming round with their 360's tho'. Not all is lost!

Man, what a day, im only now having my lunch! and my lunch is going to consist of hurriedly eating my sarnies while having a quick browse on here!!!

You'll be lucky dude. I mean, you might just be that, lucky, but I don't think you'd get one for £20. Folk know that second guitars (without game) are like gold dust and exploit it for all it's worth. Tis the nature of the beast unfortunately. I've came to the conclusion I'm no longer venturing out of this thread and the EU thread. People are mean.

Welcome Squeezy. We created this thread just to talk smash cos we're all hyped like kids on e numbers most days! In fact Blag has been so busy at work I don't think he got his countdown in today! So thanks for chucking one in. 7.5 days. Huzzaah!

[Squeezy_Weasel]

I'm glad I can help with the hype! :)

My other half is getting a bit miffed with my continual countdowns at home so at least now I have somewhere else to vent my excitement.

My other half is exactly the same. She'll be playing bass and possibly vocals on kazoo!! :D

Booker: I haven't quite got to the youtube stage yet, but I think she maybe has had enough of playing the GH3 songs that are in Rockband! :)

[miche.cs]

I haven't done the Youtube thing at all. I think I just want to dive in when I get it. Had a wee go of guitar on PS2 months and months ago. It's different, but similar to GH was all I could come up with!

[Squeezy_Weasel]

I had a brief go on Wanted Dead or Alive whilst I was in New York middle of Feb and I loved it!! Very similar timing and HO/PO's to GH2 (which i Love).

This is just making me more excited! I'm hoping by some miracle of fate Play.com send it out early!

[blagwedge]

hello everyone.....yet another day of horrendous busy ness at work, i've had no time to surf at all...but as i said in the other thread (or maybe even in this one) my 360 is on its way to Germany to be fixed. UPS picked it up 3 hours after i phoned them, so i'm quite impressed.

I must say, ive been also incredibly impressed by the outpourings of sympathy from everyone as well, this really feels like a community!!!

And just for the sake of it...i know other people have done it already...but

See this thread and EU thread is full of lovely folk who are just lovely and don't go all, you're off topic, get oot our thread. I didn't think I was that off topic either. Just a little, lol. Nevermind! :D Y'know it makes me laugh...I've been on and off various forums since I was about 16 and people never change. It's always the same arguments and elitist nonsense. But it's nice there's a lot of folk on here in in their mid 20's thru 30's cos it seems to cause less nonsense and blammering. The fact we're all hyper about a computer game tho...that's mildly disturbing. We're never growing up in that sense are we:)? I'm just glad I don't have exams or parents to talk into buying me Rockband!

Just to go back to Blag and Battlestar a moment...who's your call for the fifth? If anyone else watches battlestar and isn't up to season 4 shout so we don't spoil owt.

Jeez I did that the other night. Sat and went through the DLC and ordered it into No Way, Aye Maybe and Oooh I Really Want That. Think it's going to cost me a small fortune. Particularly when they keep adding to it. Surprisingly I'm not creaming myself over all the things most folk are. But I suppose that's the point in DLC a lil something for everyone. I kinda feel like pointing out to those moaning about the lack of metal or whatever that the game is called ROCK Band. So I'd rather see some more rock from all decades rather than some obscure finnish noise band that seems to be popular these days. Oooh showing my age:D

Anyone know how come we're not getting the DLC til the Tuesday after the game's out? Not that I'm complaining, there's plenty to play with on the disc straight away. I was just curious.

[blagwedge]

grrr.

:) only joking, im not angry, i beat everyone to the punch in the EU / AUS thread, so im happy.

And i think the final cylon is going to be Lee Adama. I think theyre trying to make you think its Starbuck, but no, its got be Lee Adama. Purely because hes the most unlikely candidate

oh, and my xbox has just left Barking apparently, if anyones interested.

:(

Morning All

Trying not to get too excited as we enter the final week :D

but I feel several daily trips to see if the status of my orders have changed even though I don't expect anything to change till Wednesday at the earliest.

A word of warning as well, posting in this thread will automatically get you added to my friends list, you have been warned :rolleyes:

One more random thought for this morning. I've managed to get 'The Final Countdown' by Europe stuck in my head this morning need suggestions what I can try and replace it with cause it's doing my head in :mad:

[Subtemperate]

I am thinking the reason is they can time it with realising those muse, oasis and such songs in other regions. They can plan to give us those already given out, and they get the ones we will already have... takes care of the DLC for that week lol

[blagwedge]

welcome Mr Turk! Help yourself to coffee and biscuits. Just don't touch the custard creams....there mine. :)

Or the bourbons, dont touch my bourbons....Welcome Mr Turk, this thread is getting bigger by the day!!!

It occurs to me that no-one has mentioned kilts for a couple of days, so dont i kind of have to? to stay on topic?


KILTS!!!

there we go...

[miche.cs]

Lol. Did you decide your kilt for the wedding? What does your Mrs think of you wearing a kilt btw? I know some love it and others are all meh.

And it's not Lee. That'd be mental. I never even considered him at all. He had a childhood as far as we know. I mean...are cylons born as kids and grow up? I thought the skin jobs were just as they were. Man...maybe Big Adama knew all along...that'd be the sucker punch if it's the case. My money is on the bird from Razor. The wee Kiwi chick who stayed behind and spoke to the original hybrid. Don't ask why, it's just a feeling. It's never going to be Starbuck. If it is...well that's just lazy writing.

Sub, aye that's sound reasoning about the DLC. Makes sense. I really couldn't care less for Oasis and Muse. I used to love Oasis back in the day but nothing they've done since Be Hear Now has been overly aww inspiring.

Oh, i dont think it would be starbuck. Actually now, i think about it, what with those Razor flashbacks, couldnt it be Bill Adama? Didnt he essentially find them trying to create human cylons at the end of the first cylon war?

And do they have childhoods? I just assumed the cylons were based on particular humans, and those humans were replaced by their cylon copies...

It would appear i'm in a trough this morning...

Feel free to add me Booker and everybody else can to.

[blagwedge]

by the way, booker, miche, i've accepted your friend requests, i didnt realise you can do it through the xbox website. Doing that has made me pine for my xbox though....

[DonkeyDood15]

omg 7 days >_>

[face777]

Meh, some of the more lesser known modern bands would work very well, I think. Subways, 22-20's, Blueskins, Blackbud, (despite 2 of those having broke up). I don't know. GH4 sounds like t will have a fantastic line-up, and very probably learned that people want DLC and begin pushing similar big names on a semi-weekly basis...

Kilts, on the other hand... no-no. Englishman who doesn't even ike wearing shorts, let alone those infernal things. ;) BUt some DO suit them, so long as they're not those awful trouser-kilt thingies which look as though even golfers would refuse to wear them! yick!

[JohnnyTurk]

ive noticed my selections of dlc is pretty slim in the sence that, theyre all epic, in some way, im not getting many up beat just like...nice songs? yeah does that make sense? anyone recommend tracks thatll grown on me that are really enjoyable, n just like...nice lol

my example i guess would be reptilia, if that was dlc i probably wouldnt get it but having played it i love it and play it quite a bit ;)

[miche.cs]

by the way, booker, miche, i've accepted your friend requests, i didnt realise you can do it through the xbox website. Doing that has made me pine for my xbox though....

Aye anything you can do on the dash you can pretty much do on the website. I've requested to be your pal as well Squeezy.

See...I didn't think they were necesarily based on actual humans. I thought they were just created and bamfed into the world. I dunno. I'm just confusing myself now. My best mate Elaine (Me, her and the wife do Battlestar Saturdays each week as I d/l it when it's showin the US, don't have fancy things such as Sky) reckons its Big Bill. I'm on the fence about that one.

As far as Brit bands go I'd like to see some Manic Street Preachers in the game. But the vast majority of music I love comes in from the USA and Australia.

Mr Turk, I'd recomend The Clash tunes or Weezer. Always good for a laugh.

[Booker]

I just quickly ran through the DLC list picking stuff that I know and like and ended up with 21 tracks.

Just need to find the cash for another points card before a week on Tuesday :(

[Squeezy_Weasel]

Beat yah to it Donkey! :)

There's so much dlc that I'm wanting, the more epic the tracks the better, Metallica pack should be cool and of course Boston ooh and the Oasis one and.........hell all of it!!! :D

Those of you you here who have an ipod, I would highly recommend download Phase for it! Did it last night, its soooo addictive and helps killetime till Friday next week!

Cheers Miche I'll accept it when I get in from work.

[blagwedge]

Lol. Did you decide your kilt for the wedding? What does your Mrs think of you wearing a kilt btw? I know some love it and others are all meh.


My missus loves the idea of me wearing a kilt, although she is insisting i wear some specially made underwear, with the words "Hand Off, Property of Mrs Hogg on" them. I still havent decided. I'm basically torn between the two original choices, caledonia, or Spirit of BannockBurn....tough to choose.

[JumpingFool]

Morning to those gagging for rock band! I'm a tad new here but been lurking for a while ;)

With DLC I assume we get the same prices as the yanks do? Gonna have to buy a 2100 point card this weekend ready -.-

[blagwedge]

I just quickly ran through the DLC list picking stuff that I know and like and ended up with 21 tracks.

I dont even think i'll find that many, really, couple of the boston tracks, Hard to handle, Hangin on the telephone, We care a lot....

Not sure i can afford it all what with Kilt hire and what not. Wahey! i'm staying on topic!

[miche.cs]

You're doing very well at staying on topic pal :D

Welcome Jumping Fool. The DLC is 160 MSpoints.

See I love so many different types of music that a lot of the DLC really, really appeals to me. You don't want to see my list. I am gutted that my arm has been twisted and I'm being forced to get the Paramour song. I feel dirty just thinking about downloading it, lol. No offence to Paramour fans. I just can't stand christian emo:)

[Ooishi]

LOL had a random look at the ign video review

the last line, and i quote

"rock band is a game you could be playing 6 months from now, and thats what we plan to do"

And welcome Jumping Fool!

No, no, no, no, no. Underoos are not allowed when wearing a kilt. Punishment is being banished to Hell to be surrounded by morris dancers for the rest of eternity :eek:

To be a true Kilt wearer you must let everything 'hang loose'

Morning Guys,

I've been lurking on the thread for a while now so thought I would pop me head in and say High!!

Oh and 1 more week to go :D:D:D

[Booker]

Since it looks like everyone has been dragged away by that annoying work thing I'll just in to say Welcome Captain Speedy *salute*

Feel free to join in with the absolute drivel thats going on in here :D

(only joking guys)

[miche.cs]

Yeah I was dragged away by some work and then some spaghetti. Apologies:P

I'm surprised we've managed to keep this thread going for 15 pages without someone barging in and complaining. Yay us.

I narrowed my DLC down to 31 with about 15 maybes still lurking. Grumble. I think I'm gonna make a deal with myself. Play through the game and buy a few tracks to use up the MSP I have right now. Then I'll try complete solo tours or something before buying anything else.

[Booker]

My current DLC list

Still undecided about QOTSA, need to go and listen to the tracks again.

[miche.cs]

My current DLC list

Still undecided about QOTSA, need to go and listen to the tracks again.
I'm undecided on the Queens pack as well. I'm a big QOTSA fan but I preferred their older stuff. I've really not got into the new album at all. It would've been better in my eyes had it included something like Feel Good Hit of the Summer.

[Klopek]

See I love so many different types of music that a lot of the DLC really, really appeals to me. You don't want to see my list. I am gutted that my arm has been twisted and I'm being forced to get the Paramour song. I feel dirty just thinking about downloading it, lol. No offence to Paramour fans. I just can't stand christian emo:)

I don't know why I like that track. I never listen to similar music. It's just annoyingly catchy. I'm sure I'll hate it soon enough though + I'll only buy if we get it for the initial half $ the Americans did. There you go. I feel less like a dork now.

Has anyone contemplated holding off on their DLC purchases? I mean, it's inevitable that eventually you'll tire of most of the on-disc tracks. I'd quite like to play it as normal and just as the excitement fades, purchase a whole bunch of awesome tracks and get myself right back into the mood. I can imagine if I were to purchase DLC almost immediately that my enjoyment would probably fade away not long after it would if I had only started with the on-disc songs... if you know what I'm rambling about?

Then again, saying that, I don't think I really have the will-power!

[miche.cs]

I know exaclty what you're saying. I think I said something similar in another thread. Play with what you have and then play the DLC. I think I'll prob buy it but not play thru it as much cos I don't want to be playing DLC catch up all the time:)

[Squeezy_Weasel]

Afternoon peeps!

Hello to any new joiners. This work malarky really is annoying. Doesn't help that I'm in a shop so have to look busy every time a browser comes through the door!! :mad:

I'm amazed you guys can narrow down the dlc that much. I know I'm gonna end up buyin it all. :eek:

Less than 7 days to go!!

Well that me away for the night.

Going to try and have a Rockband thought free weekend and chill out a bit (chances of that are nil :D)

Bit raw, but meh, I'm not gonna get my knickers in a bunch about it, mainly cos I really don't care for most the songs:D Under the principle of the thing though, exclusive wasn't the ord I'd use for it eh? But I guess we kind of got it for free...well....maybe not when you look at the price we're paying. But still.

[Squeezy_Weasel]

Mornin!

I agree it's a bit off that the tracks are downloadable stateside before we get the game but then again I'm thankful that we are actually getting the game!

Morning All

Another day closer but I've got a feeling this week is going to drag on :(

This weekend I managed to grab another 2100 MSPoints and uped my DLC list up to 26 (even found some stuff the other half liked, I'll get her playing this game yet!!)

I also joined the exclusive youtube drumming fraternity much to the amusement of my 8 year old daughter, who walked in on me air drumming :rolleyes:

Oh well, back to pretending I'm doing some work.

[miche.cs]

Lol it's only Monday guys. Lets not make it drag anymore than it has to by thinking about it! Lets think about something else...anything else...ach who am I kidding. I spent 20 minutes this morning looking at youtube drumming...bah it sucked me in too Booker! On a pluse note I was hitting a wall with GTA, couldn't do three missions and I managed to pass that last night. So that was happy times:)

Morning dudes and dudettes

I actually had a similar fear. I think I'll be starting on medium and working my way up. Def doing the drum tutorial. I was always fairly ok at playing real life drums. Main reason I didn't take it up was I had issues keeping my feet and my hands going together. I'd think about it too much and thus fluff it up. I'm hoping it'll click much like the move from medium to hard guitar in GH. Although that took a while:D I get the rage too easy and have to walk away from the game!

[Booker]

last time I played drums was 18 years ago at school!! So I'm going to start on easy.

Never really bothered me about having to play on expert, never got above medium on GH1 or GH2. Also prefered to just pick up and play than having to try and learn song off by heart and don't have the time to practice the same song again and again.

My current plan is to try and get to medium on the drums and hard on guitar, will give the higher levels a go but if I can't manage them it's no big deal.

That was how I always used to play GH1 and 2 and then randomly one day I was bored as I'd played it all on medium and started hard and it just clicked in. I could just do it. I think that it helped I'd been playing a lot of actual guitar and my hand was a bit more nimble. I'd recently purchased a Zakk Wylde Buzzsaw and couldn't tear myself away from it. I tend to find the better I know a song the better I can play it as I seem to know the pace and rhythm a lot better.

In a totally unrelated piece of news, my mrs just txted me to say the kitten just fell in the bath while she was in it. The cat is not happy. At all. I couldn't help but laugh (which is cruel I know) partly due to the fact I know she's probably tearing about the flat getting EVERYTHING wet and I'm happily at work. That makes me a bad person doesn't it?

[JumpingFool]

Gooood Morning, Its the monday of the last week and oh boy its gonna drag on!

To occupy my mind I went and got ProStreet (Thats how bored I am!) and a lovely fat points card, already had an email from game to say its being dealt with. Hoping it'll arrive for my birthday (Thursday) so I can have a rocktacular event.

Thanks for the FR Booker, I welcome any other Uk Rockers. If I have room on my friends list that is!

Back to work! :(

[Kevakazi]

Hi all im new to this forum and like many of you i have been plonked in front of a computer screen watching videos on youtube of people rocking out on the drums and guitar and feeling the envy.

I've noticed the guitar part of the game doesn't seem to be as hard as guitar hero 3 so i should have no problem with the expert part of that its just the drums im going to have a problem with, i havent a clue how some of these people do what they do, its going to be hard to train myself to use the bass pedal at a different speed to what my arms are moving, anyone else have this worry? I think its going to have to be an easy start on the old drums.

As for singing i hope its as easy as singstar was as i wasnt to bad at that lol.

[Greggerfer]

hi guys,
it's cool to read through all your excited posts after Xbox360 magazine just spent 4 pages pointing out all its faults, I nearly changed my mind about getting to Game for opening until the missus pointed out that as I have been looking forward to it for so long, myself and others like me (ie. you lot) will see past all that and just have a great time with it.

BRING ON FRIDAY MOTHER TRUCKERS!!!!!

Afternoon all, someone asked a couple of pages ago what the "bad points" were that Xbox 360 mag had to say about our beloved RB.

Apparently the drums make an annoying noise when you hit them, meaning you have to turn the telly right up, otherwise you'll put off everyone playing with you if you fudge up.
The drums, in particular the pedal, feel very flimsy like they could break at any moment (but we already knew that)
the guitar is basically 4r53. No one can see the point of the solo buttons (errmmm....soloing?) and say the X-Plorer is much better due to the 'click' you get on the strum bar. Apparently with the RB guitar, if you get a sequence of lots of notes, without that 'click' you're often playing on blind faith, unsure if you're hitting it enough to hit the note.
Finally, they said that playing solo is like band practice and really unsatisfying.

Fudge em - I get to sit in my room playing drums to MetallicA.

Incidentally, did any of you add me to your friends list? I got home to find a friend request last night and didn't recognise the name so just wondered if it came from here.
I mean, feel free to add me - name is Greggerfer on there too.

It's all a bit nit picky huh? The clacking of the drums, yes is a downpoint, but is fixable - ok at extra cost. The guitar...meh, I've heard good and bad and I guess only play on it will tell what I think about it. Surely playing solo is band practice....I kinda thought that was teh point. Nevermind eh?

Managed to sort out the router problem. So I'm all ready for some serious rocking over the weekend.

Found I had some points last night and started downloading already.

Hows everybody holding up?? Blag?? Miche?? Booker?? Greg?? et al.

[miche.cs]

Morning Squeezy. Thanks for accepting my FR. I was gonna see if any was up for some GTA last night but I ended up getting sucked into the story!

I'm holding up not bad. I'm strangely calm. Ask me again tomorrow:)

Welcome Spitfire, Mr Clown!

[Booker]

Morning all

Another day at work constantly checking in here to see what's happening.

And now I keep checking the phone cause the wife is going to txt me if anything arrives from Parcel Farce.

Would be nice to get the instruments today, but I more heading towards getting both tomorrow. :D

[JumpingFool]

Mornin Everyone!

Just had an Email from GAME to say its been dispatched, hoping for a delivery tomorrow morning but friday is still fine with me. What DLC did everyone get(if any yet). I got myself the metallica pack(You wont get me off that) QOTSA and that free song :P

Any reccomendations? I'm gonna get shockwave and the Black Sabbath Pack probably.

Welcome to Spitfire and Mr Clown, you've joined the maddness, with kilts!

[Squeezy_Weasel]

Miche.. hit me up tonight if yah see me around.

Hi Jumpingfool, MrClown & Spitfire

Jumpingfool... I downloaded Metallica pack, Free Song, Sprode by Freezepop and Rock Rebellion by Bang Camaro (I'm a huge fan of all 3) will probably download more tommorrow when Mrs Squeezy buys me some more points! (Gotta love her feeding my Rockband addiction!!). I would definately recommend looking at Bang Camaro and you can't go wrong with Boston and The Police.

Any one who wants to add me on Live just send me a FR with a message saying "Rockband Forum".

Viva La Rock Band, Viva La Revolution!! :)

Aye I will do if I'm online:D

My mrs is getting the next round of points as well. Due to the fact she's jumping up and down to play the bass I told her it was only fair she bought the next points card:)

Mrs Squeezy is a bass nut aswell. She's almost as excited as me.

Does she play IRL?

See attached picture of wife and les paul bass. Rock and Roll:cool:

No but she wants to learn! I used to play Guitar (electric and acoustic) and was thinking of picking it up again. (God help the neighbours!)

[miche.cs]

Does she have lil' hands? If she does make sure you start her off on a bass with fairly small frets. Epi Flying V's look cool and are super easy to play. Only prob is you have to play them standing all the time unless you wanna pull a James Hetfield and sit awkwardly:D

Aye I play electric and acoustic. There's a pic of me and my Buzzsaw in my profile. Now that's metal \m/:cool:
I don't think I've got any pics of my acoustic.

[JumpingFool]

Pick it up again Squeezy! I've recently picked up my electric once again and started invading tab sites. Pretty good but you've gotta have the motivation to continue with it.

I'll probably get that police pack, message in a bottle does it for me :D

I'll have to wait till I get home from work to add you Squeezy :)

[SpitfireTho]

Morning everyone!
Did anyone else order from Play.com?
Getting paranoid that the game itself is still 'processing' and the instruments have been dispatched.
I would be so gutted if I ended up with just the instruments on friday, considering I ordered it all the first day it was up for sale on the site...

For DLC I got:
Metallica Pack
Both rush songs: Limelight, working man
Still Alive
Buddy Holly - Weezer

[Booker]

I'll have to wait till I get home from work to add you Squeezy :)

You do know that you can add people to your friends list from the xbox website?

*This public service announcement was brought to you by drunken scotsmen wearing kilts while playing Rock Band Ltd*

[Squeezy_Weasel]

Thanks for all the replies!!

Yeah shes got tiny hands, though I can see her doing a Hetfield!!

We've ordered from Play.com Spitfire...I feel the same as you, it would be most annoying to receive the instruments but no game!! :eek:

[SpitfireTho]

It's reasuring that I'm not the only one - From what I've experienced Play have always delivered so the order arrives on day of release so I'm going to try and think positive. Although I admit I am checking my orders page every half hour :/

To start her learning I'd recommend one of these

http://www.guitarampkeyboard.com/en/epiphone-eb-0-sg/469

They're 3/4 neck size so it's easy to get comfortable whilst learning. Nothing too fancy, affordable and dang they look cool:D

You can get a full scale version too that's got the full neck, two pickups a bit more weight to it. She could always go the way of fender basses too as all of them are easy to play. I just hate them with a passion. Gibson girl all the way:D

That looks about right for her! I was always a Fender guy when it came to electrics. Acoustics don't mind but i do prefer bow back's. :)

Yeah we've never had a problem in the past. But Mrs Squeezy is on strict instructions to call me at work if anything turns up! *Crosses Fingers*

[miche.cs]

Fender do do some good entry level basses. I'm just not keen on the looks or the sounds. Depends what she wants to learn to play. The SG will give her a right beefy sound much like the SG guitar is quite beefy and dirty.

I think as long as it makes a good sound she'd be happy! :)

I'd deffo recommend the SG then. They're great lil things so they are. I can't find a link to it the now but we've got a Practice amp that's actually tiny and self contained so you play it thru headphones. Good for practicing when you don't want everyone to hear or annoy the neighbours. It was like 40 quid I think. I'll try find it.

Edit: Ooh found it...http://www.guitar-amps-uk.co.uk/store/erol.html?2800x2810#2800X2810

They sound really good surprisingly. There is dearer models with more tweeks etc on it.

[desperado daz]

Hi all - 1st post EVER - i have been reading this forum and getting more & more hyped about RB arriving. I have had it ordered with play.com - Instruments were posted out yesterday - game is still being processed.

I play GH2 & GH 3 and am really looking forward to pounding the drums.

Anyway, thought i would dip my toes in and say hello

Welcome!
A third person with a processing 'Rock Band Solus' confirms that they will be either posting them later today or first class tomorrow.

Paranoia and thoughts of me being left with a kit that I can only look at are decreasing :)

[Klopek]

I've had no sign of anything happening with either my game or instrument yet! It's cool, I reserve the right to spit hate tomorrow though.

Edit: lol - Drums estimated dispatch date "23rd May"

I spent a fair while staring at the marketplace DLC yesterday. Managed to create my marvelous list:

Metallica - 440
Thrash - 440
Working Man - 160
Boston - 800
Judas Priest - 1200 :eek:

A lovely grand total of 3040/3400 points.

I've got The Perfect Drug on backburner until I'm actually able to play the drums. Also undecided about the Harmonix tracks. Sprode did make me laugh in Amplitude. What's up with the Harmonix pack costing the same as purchasing the tracks seperately? 80 points each, Pack for 240.

Boston surprised me. It wasn't on my wanted list however after watching some Youtube videos I've decided not only are they good tracks but they feature some fancy chart-work. Pleasantly surprised by the solos, especially the keyboard!

I like the look of The Grateful Dead charts - reminds me greatly of Jessica from GH2. Very enjoyable. I really don't like those softy vocals though. I wouldn't be able to play those for too long.

I'll have to make sure I have some more points in reserve just in case they release Fuel and Shadow World anytime soon.

[blagwedge]

Is it even worth doing a countdown now? I'm praying that we all get the game tomorrow now, which is a pretty desperate thing to do for an atheist such as myself...

[SpitfireTho]

I can't see me participating a countdown just yet - revising for one of my finals which is tomorrow. The thought of RB hangs over me :(

I'm wonder how many of us will be postman hunting on friday morning though :)

Aye I blasted 3350 points, or something close, last night on DLC. Cannae remember exactly what I got though, lol.

[Konador]

I spent 5100 points on all sorts of awesome songs :D I did have 5600 but 500 went to GH3 for Muse. I can't get enough of playing Stockholm Syndrome!

1.5 days to go!!!! Go on Blag countdowns are fun!

I'm the same Konador I absolutely love playin that track. Got me my Half Mil & Higher than Most achievements! :D

[MrClown]

Thanks for the welcome and yes it turns out play.com arent going to send me my rock band solus luckily i preordered from game so ill just buy it there on friday.

[miche.cs]

How come they aren't sending it Mr Clown? They ran out of stock?

Squeezy, lol, if women are good at something it's spending money. But £150 all in for a wee starter bass and amp is pretty good going. It'll get her up and making some thunderous bassy goodness. Plus there's nothing hotter than your wife playing bass:D

MrClown.... now I'm worried that I won't get my copy! :(

I can put a good spin on anything. I learnt from the best. My mother is an estate agent :D

Ditto
MrClown did you get contact from play staff or are you presuming? :confused:

Paranoia increasing again :(

[Greggerfer]

AARRRGGGHHH!!!!!! IT'S SO EXCITING!!!!!!!!


Got me downloads in last night - MetallicA pack (of course - incidentally, nice Cliff pic Booker), The Kill, Another Thing Coming, Electric Eye, War Pigs, FallOutBoy (guilty pleasure, I make no apologies), wolfmother (purely coz my band plays it) and Crue.

This is gonna be sweeeeeeeet. I got the day off Friday so add me up mo fo's and I'll see you then for some jamming.

Incidentally, potential good news for those who pre-ordered from Play - I pre-ordered Sweeney Todd and it came out on Monday, but I got it on Saturday. You might get RB tomorrow :D

[Klopek]

Shopto dispatch notification for the game! Hoooooooooo! I hope I get it tomorrow!

[Squeezy_Weasel]

I'll be royally annoyed if I get the instruments and no game! :(

[MrClown]

No contact from play.com they just havnt sent it yet and there is no way if they start packing it tomorrow ill get it on friday.

Because when you buy from play.com [preorder] it goes through stages

1.order placed
2.when it comes in stock they pack it [takes 1 day
3.then they send it[anything up to 3 days]

and still today they hadnt started packing it so i cancelled it and i will just buy it on friday.

Trust me though i will never buy from play.com again hopefully this will teach them not to stand between a man and his rock band.

Thanks for responding :)

I am gonna have to trust play on this one though. I've bought over 10 ten games from this site and ALWAYS got it on day of release. The packing process doesn't always take a day and they could plan on doing it laster today. The fact there are several others who are still 'processing' leads me to believe they will be shipping early tomorrow. I doubt they would piss off this many people though.

If not, I'll probably end up putting my fists through my drum pads

But then you'd have to wait for your replacement drums to arrive as well!! :D

I'd hate to think what you'd put your fist through then!!

As far as I know we get the same as the US got.

Was scouting around and found this: http://forums.xbox.com/20396918/ShowPost.aspx

Looks like nobodys game has been sent and the band in a boxes could be arriving tomorrow.

At least I'll have everything set up in time I guess...

[MrClown]

Well i would put play.com in regard over a randomer on the internet as well if i had ordered from them before and could trust them, but i havent this is the first time thats why i cancelled just to be sure ill get the game on release.;)

[Kevakazi]

7 days for me to wait for mine im so gutted, i think i will have to make up some ground when i get it and go for a 24hr session with the time i booked off work. I wonder how many people around the uk have booked time off work to play RB or will most be skiving lol

[LfcRobbo]

I always pre-order my games off gameplay and always had it 1 (or 2) days before release. I had an email this morning saying they have dispatched both the instruments and the game, so I guess I will def haveit for release or even tomorrow...cant wait! :P

[Greggerfer]

Hi guys, I've added some of you to my friends list, hope that's cool.
Anyone else feel free to add me - GT: Greggerfer

[XxZanza-LabzxX]

My god, Play.com have F****d my game up :(

I'm getting the instruments, fine, but no bloody game.

[miche.cs]

Greggerfer - That's cool dude. I just accepted ya. I posted this in the EU thread but I'll just recap, my Amazon order has changed to shipping soon with an estimated delivery between the 23 and 23, so that's looking good for tomorrow eh?

I'm sorry for the guys who ordered with Play and it's all went a bit wonky. I think they probably got a bit overwhelmed with the volume of orders possibley. I know for a fact Amazon are prioritising by postal method (not an issue with play I know), which they have to do. The people who chose Guaranteed Next Day are clearly getting it before those who chose something else even if they placed their order first.

[Squeezy_Weasel]

No worries Greg accepted it last night.

Just as an update on the play.com thing... our order is showing as instrument pack posted yeterday and game was showing as packing yesterday. Will up date as soon as I here more from Mrs Squeezy.

Oh and..........................



IT'S OUT TOMORROW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D :D :D

Heh, yes it is! It looks like a lot of play.com customers and shopto customers will get theirs today. But I'm not gonna moan as long as mine turns up tomorrow. I can't ask for fairer than release day. Fingers, toes, arms, legs, crossed!

[Booker]

Well thats my play solus order just changed to posted with today's date, so fingers crossed I'll get it tomorrow.

If any of you guys havn't added me yet feel free. I've listed the skill levels I'll be starting on under my gamertag.

[desperado daz]

Update - game posted on the 21st - instruments posted on the 20th.
Although the play.com website did not update this information until this morning.
I am hopeful of it all arriving tomorrow

The days are just going by so slow
