Any one else playing Rock Band 2 on the Wii that's around 30 or so? If so, let's start the Old Man Band (sorry, youngins!). I play all instruments on hard/expert, but generally drum. I'd rather play for fun than any sort of competition. Want in? Just drop me a PM and let's get to rocking.

Alternatively, view this post for a comprehensive list of friend codes:

Hi billy, My wife and I are both over 30 and play occasionally. We are not hard core, both maybe medium players that play hard occassionally. Feel free to add us, 398075679705

I'm down for an Old Man Band. I mean I don't consider myself old yet, but I am over 30. I play any instrument medium while I'm learning the songs, though I can sing on hard or expert if I know the song well. I'll send you a pm now.

Awesome. Good to see there are some old fogies (just kidding) playing on Wii. My friend code is 0501 8333 4203. Feel free to add me!

What about us over 40s? ;)

Bass/Guitar: Medium (although I've started to dabble with Hard on Bass)
Drums: Easy (sad, I know)
Vocals: Expert/Hard (Only a few songs that I can't get 90+% with on Expert, so mostly Expert, but a few I have to go to Hard on... can anyone ever figure out what key Axel Rose sings in? ;))

I'm not all that competetive, but I do like to hook up with folks that know to watch the drummer (or, in some cases, vocal) line with the corner of their eye for that telltale golden overdrive. Since Guitarists and Bassists can hit it at whim, but use vocalists and the drummers are a bit more constrained (and you know you don't have to go ino overdrive as soon as you get it, right?) I figure us old folks might know a little something about patience... well sometimes anyway.

I just turned 40 (lucky me) and would like to add everyone in this thread.
I play medium to hard on all instruments, and don't really have a preference as to what to play.

I figure with the older set, we likely aren't all online all the time (since, you know... jobs... lives... etc) so having more options of folks to play with can't hurt.

My FC is in my signature, and I would be flattered if you added me as well.
I've sent PM's to everyone... except it wouldn't let me send a PM to Kev2380, so I just sent a forum friend request to him/her/them.

I hope to add the friend codes in tonight when I get home from work.

Throw me on the list. My wife and I both play often enough. She drums and sings, I play guitar. Code is in my sig.

Hey it's good to see people over 30 playing around. I myself am 45 (wow):eek: married,kids,etc. and play a lot of video games ( especially this one!) and still generally try to act like I'm still in my 20's:cool: I have a problem, I have a Wii and can get online for other things like the nintendo channel,news channel, and the weather channel,but I can"t connect to RB2 online. It always says unable to connect to Rock Band (central, server, not sure which) and thus I'm not able to get my web code or to play online with anybody. If anyone knows what the problem could be, and how to fix it feel free to contact me please! Thanks to any and all!:D

At a guess it might be firewall rules on your router, assuming you are using one. Not something I can easily help you with on a forum or in email, really. Best to pull out the manual and/or hit the site for your router manufacturer. Not sure what ports need to be open for Rock Band, though. Maybe it's in the FAQ somewhere?

As far as your network trouble goes, page 17 of the Rock Band 2 manual has some info about that. If your network is behind a firewall, you must set it to allow inbound and outbound traffic on the following ports: TCP ports: 80, 443, 13505 and UDP port: 3658.
If you are using a NAT router, you may need to enable port forwarding of all data on port UDP 3658 to your Wii's IP address. Or you can put your router into a DMZ.

Don't really know what most of that means, just paraphrasing from the manual. Good luck and let me know if you need more help, then we can jam! :D
