Modest Mouse, CCR, Vines, Pixies, Sweet, and ABB are all great.

I would be totally happy if this were true.

Steam leaked more DLC.

Pixies - Here Comes Your Man
Billy Idol - White Wedding
Survivor - Eye of the Tiger
Rise Against - Good Left Undone
Vines - Get Free
Modest Mouse - Float On
Sweet - Ballroom Blitz
Allman Brothers - Southbound
CCR - Have You Ever Seen The Rain

Southbound is actually the one out of these I am most looking forward to seeing. When I first saw this I was upset that the third Allman Bros song was not Ramblin' Man, because I had never heard Southbound, but after listening to Southbound it is filled with an insane amount of sweet bluesy goodness. I think it's a great choice.

The Good Left Undone is the one I'm looking forward to the most. Would of preferred it to be part of a Rise Against pack but the other 2 songs are pretty good so not all disappointment. I'll likely get:

Billy Idol - White Wedding
Survivor - Eye of the Tiger
Rise Against - The Good Left Undone
Modest Mouse - Float On
CCR - Have You Ever Seen The Rain

Note that I'm buying nothing though until I finally manage to get a new real tone cable as mine has broke.

I'll agree that BF's use of tab is more musician friendly, but I doubt that RS' notation is any more easy for a beginner to learn than tab would have been, habitual video gamer or not. It was just a bad idea, teaching people to play an instrument using a notation that they'll never see outside of the game. The same might be said of RB's position wave, but it's at least highly tab related and you can turn on chord numbering and basically have tab turned 90 degrees clockwise.

i'd agree with this, especially that it's a bad idea to teach a notation system that has no real-world application. eventually you're going to need to learn tab if you want to learn songs outside of RS, and it would have been nice if RS had taught that as well. newcomers do seem to think the RS interface is easier to read, and when you're only seeing one note every few seconds they're probably right. get those parts up to 100% though and it becomes a different story. the notes get bunched up so closely and the 3D perspective makes it difficult to even tell which order notes on different strings are supposed to be played. even just having a "breakneck" speed option and having a 2D display option would improve it tremendously.

I made the transition to PC. Oh my christ. I didn't realise how much better it is on PC. The tracks in the store have audio previews. It's so quick!..

... I refuse to rebuy all my DLC though.

You'll reconsider that position. This game works really well on the PC.

I don't think he will unless someone else wanted to buy all the DLC he has on PS3 for him on PC.

Am I crazy or did they chart mandolin on the guitar for Lovesong?
