What bothers me is that Gamestop is spouting off these prices as if they are official. I was in a Gamestop in Nashville this weekend and the clerk there was going on about the controllers and bundles...

I'll go ahead and give you some advice, though it looks like you learned this the hard way like I did.

Never, ever loan anything to anyone if you ever want to see it again.

Drunken *******s...

Does somebody need to go to blood pressure camp?

Personally, I find it helpful. I basically switch back and forth between two hand positions with all 4 fingers (GRYB and RYBO). While I have just about gotten used to where my hands are due to muscle...

Petitions are annoying, as exemplified by this one.

This is allegedly the case (except for bass). I expect you could use every song for each campaign, only ordered differently according to difficulty. So the drum career may start out with easier songs...

Agreed. Square or even a trapezoidal pattern.

The high-hat is generally further to the left, but it is also a little further out and higher than the snare. The snare is usually right between the player's knee. In that layout, it is not...

I just thought of the next band name I am going to use for RB/GHIII:

Haulin' Oats

One thing that has bugged me is that some of the star power moves in the game are ridiculous and unrealistic. Almost makes me not want to use it. And did you ever notice non of the guitars have...

Good point about those songs. That has always bothered me about Frankenstein. I remember thinking, "I'm playing the freaking keyboard part" or something. Still, it has enough guitar to make up for...

I think "Big Band" is the next project on the horizon for Harmonix. It's for the next, next gen console that supports up to 24 wireless controllers. You can choose trumpet, trombone, clarinet, sax,...

I was thinking the same thing, particularly when I was thinking about songs I would like to play in RB. I found myself picking songs with great guitar riffs and then thinking the bass and drums are...

Sorry about that. I didn't notice until I got my post up. Just consider it a long-winded way of saying, "I agree with miketoast."

Personally I think this is a bad idea. Look at youtube. Some very good GH players post videos on there and A-holes come out of the woodwork to complain about how lame and easy it is to play the song....

"Since Harmonix is now owned by MTV and hard at work on Rock Band, Neversoft wasn't given access to the code from previous Guitar Hero games. That means Guitar Hero III is being built from the ground...

I was thinking that in some mode (say Quick Play) instead of showing your character playing the song, show video clips or even whole music videos of the actual artist playing the song (for the...

The drums.

I was just curious what some of you used as your band names for GH and GHII. I think it is interesting what people come up with. For GH my band was "Sucka Witch", and for GHII it was "Shrimp N'...

Where did you get this idea? All it says is there will be a different button color design.
