Rock Band: Official Thread of Never Gets Old Part 7 (and some RB2 talk)
Rush playing fake instruments to a cover tune of their own song. Priceless.

I picked up the "official" RB drum pad silencers and think they work pretty well. Not 100% quiet, but much quieter than before. The only problem is that the glue on them really smells and I can still smell it a week after attaching them to my drums.

I created a setlist on Project Playlist.com of the songs in RB2. It's missing about a half dozen(GnR, Mastodon, Grateful Dead, Steely Dan), but still pretty solid. Check it out:

The loudest part now is when I miss and hit the rim...the pads themselves are relatively quiet.

That's ok though, I just returned them at BB because I had their performance guarantee.
Maybe I should have used Liquid Nails instead.

After playing a few other songs last night I thought I'd take another stab at Suffragette City on Expert and failed at 94%. Yes, that's during one of the easy parts. I was so annoyed I didn't bother to try again, even though I'm pretty sure I could have done it. I noticed that I started following the notes with my eyes a little differently, though, and it seems a lot easier now to follow extremely fast sections.

I've also failed Dani California 3 straight times at 95%+
