    Not always true. I like Parallel Universe musically, but the chart is annoying as all h3ll. On the opposite, the Black Veil Brides songs that I have suck, but the charts are pretty fun. Save for In Waves.

    keyword here being chart. you know, that thing you SEE! not the one you HEAR!

    On pro would they be 100% identical though? I'm guessing not.

    There's also supporting the artists/songs you like thing.

    Follow up to our lead, generalizations have exceptions.

    Also, folks who play "Chart Band" (Songs just for the chart, some folks even turn off the music) are definitely more of an outlier than a rule.

    The general rule of thumb if people are less likely to like the charts for songs they don't like than songs they do, even if they songs have identical or nearly identical charting. People are weird like that. You see a lot of that in DLC Quickplay reviews (A lot of the Nickleback charts aren't nearly as bad as they're rated for example)

    yup, it's not the exact same chord. it's still the same pattern, and if you were to put him in front of both those songs without telling which is which and having sound off. he wouldn't know which he'd like better.

    as for supporting artists/songs you like, again, we're talking
    purely

    I'll be getting the upgrade of "The Wicker Man" and DEFINITELY getting "St. Elmo's Fire." I've been waiting for that to come to PS3 again. For the main HMX DLC? I already have Blitz so they already have my money for those songs.

    What? I'm talking about my desire to learn how to play a song.

    Exactly. I've been saying that for a long long time, but it falls on deaf ears.

    I /play/ charts. And playing charts are a combination of seeing and hearing. If I dislike what comes out of a note that I play, that negatively impacts my opinion on the chart. I dislike playing songs on guitar which have a guitar part that I don't like listening to. Which leads me back to my point on The Wicker Man. If I'm not dying to play the song on Pro Guitar, then I would rather a song which has a guitar part that I enjoy listening to and would like to learn how to play to have a pro upgrade over it. It's common sense. And subjective.

    The issue is that charts don't exist in vacuums. A lot of things impact PLAYING the charts. I'm going to assume that you mean how I would enjoy them if the volume was muted and the backgrounds were erased. Then I'll say that they are equal. Equal in how terrible they are and equal in how boring they would be. Every chart in Rock Band would be tied for me in how awful they would be to play.

    nope, a lot of things impact playing the song

    the chart = only WHAT YOU SEE

    playing a song in rockband = 2 things.
    the music. and the chart.

    1 is sound. other is sight
    (not counting background animations in this.)

    Nah, Jungle Boogie will be the most boring for sure (bass should be alright).
    Give it Away will be great fun.

    Henry said something about HMX having something extra prepared for pro players besides blitz upgrades, I wonder what that is? ^^
