What bandmember do you think will be hardest to come by?
I personally think it will be really difficult to find a good drummer, early on at least. Then it will probably switch to singer when it comes to live performances and such. That will be some scary **** for the singer who is the only who actually "plays" his own instrument.

I'd say a good singer, I think singing is going to be hard and so far I can't find one that even wants to sing, it's all drums and guitar.

It will be hard to find someone willing to sing in front of their friends. Not me, I'll sing some Karen O in a heartbeat.

The guitar for Paranoid is pretty boring.... bunch of chords.

Go watch a video of John Entwistle playing on Wont Get Fooled Again and see if your opinion changes.
Singers I think will be the hardest to come by.

Singers I think will be the hardest to come by.Yes obviously there are some fun bass-songs. But in previous games there have been very few of them. In gh2 there where like 5 songs that had fun bass (rythm guitar doesn't count).

There isnt much you can do with bass, basically. Besides, its a matter of opinion, I find bass fun enough anyway.
You can always make it more interesting by playing bass and singing, if you really think bass is too easy.

Depending on whether or not people invite based on skill level (thinking online here), singers will probably be hardest to find, since not as many people will want to do it, and the ones that are more interested in singing than playing probably aren't going to spend $170 for a singing game when they probably already have the Karaoke Revolutions and SingStars. So finding someone that can nail songs on expert may be tough.
Drummers will be easy to find initially, since a lot of people will want to try out something new, and I can't see how anyone could not get hooked on the drums. But again, if people invite based on skill level, drummers will be hard to find as well. Guitarists have had GH, GHII, and GHIII to hone their skills. Drummers have had Drum Mania - not as popular as GH, I don't think - and real drums - but real drummers playing Rock Band might be pretty rare. So if the bass pedal is going to kick everyone in the junk as hard as people are predicting, finding someone that can nail songs on expert may be tough.

What will be hardest to come by depends on your criteria. For online quickplay on Medium or Easy, I don't think singers will be at all hard to come by--I'd randomly jump into someone's band and do it. For local play, they may be a little more reluctant, and for hard or expert, finding someone who can do it might be a challenge. The challenge part also goes for the drums initially, as people adjust to a whole new peripheral.
In the long run, I definitely think finding Expert-level singer and drummer (in that order) will be the hardest picks. It won't be tough to find a bassist because there are plenty of casual players who don't mind taking what's labeled to be the "easy" instrument--and the ones with a little more skill can just jack it up to hard or expert.

*Definitely* Drummers. Singers are a dime a dozen. How many places around the town you live in have had karaoke at some point in time?
Also, guitar and bass might as well be the same thing as far as this game is concerned. Drummers are harder to find in real life and will be harder to find in this game.
I play a bass in real life, but I plan to pick up drumming for this game.
