3 things we can do to make online play more fun

I'm a PS3 and I play for fun.

Three things, in my opinion, can make things funner:

1. NO MAKE A SETLIST OPTION, JESUUUUS.
2. No "wow I suck at this song so I'll piss everyone off and quit in the middle of the song" option.
3. Take turns with the "I want the guitar"-but I want it too! thing.

Wow, I don't believe I've ever met a PS3 before

YES! This is my BIGGEST pet peeve too - when someone bails halfway through a song, especially when it is a song that he or she chose! People that do this make me want to play solo (and stick a ballpoint pen in my eye).

Making a setlist - unless it's a couple of relatively short songs that go together, like the Reprise and A Day In The Life - is just selfish, man.

Had a group of 3 online and went to find a 4th. He joined and was selected to pick first song, so he started to make a setlist. We all quit and started again. Annoying option should not be there IMHO. Thankfully that only happened once.

With regards to the activating of Beatlemania, I just drum and the chart gives the option to activate but I am not sure how this relates to the singer. I see the lyrics at the top but not really looked at it close enough to see when singer can activate.

With PS3 online, I hardly ever hear anyone talk and I do often just say "Hi all!".

I keep one in my basement.

TALK
Most random sessions online for me seem to be with folks who don't have mics, or who have them on, but don't say a word. That's probably to many people's liking, but I think there are many of us who like a little conversation with other fans now and then. I always start a new online session with my mic on, and at least say "hi guys" when we start up. If no one responds, I'll take off the headset, but at least those who are shy about talking may come out of their shell and engage me. This may also encourage others to start hooking up the headsets.

I normally play drums. And the jack on my drum set doesnt work anymore. When I get a new drumset I will use my mic again.

When I play guitar, I play with nice big headphones on, making it impossible to have a mic.

There's a microphone jack on the drums?!?!?! On PS3?!?! Where? (not challenging the comment, just asking out of my own ignorance)

On a side note, I normally don't chat. I know I'm usually playing with people b/w the ages of 6-20 and when they hear an old fogey like me say anything, they normally give me the boot. So I just sit back and shut up.

It's so annoying that the Beatlemania for the singer is always in inconvenient spots for the rest of the band. No fair.

And I usually try to talk online, but when I don't get a response I just figure they're either in a party or just don't have a headset.

Its on the front of the part of the drums with the bottons. Right in the middle. Just follow it down around the "ledge". See picture
