Re: The Official Rock Band Thread of Music Game Evolution

Do you guys who use the lighter system only play one instrument? There are songs that I hate on guitar, but love on vocals. If I put them at a low lighter, then it goes across the board, no matter what instrument I'm playing.

So I end up not lighter'ing anything.

I'm sorry, but was there an actual announcement about Bush today? I don't see it posted here.

I play drums 90% of the time so I rate it on a combination of how much fun it is on drums and how much I like the song. I usually round up if I'm not happy with my score and know I could do better or its a really fun song on other instruments so that it's picked in road trips more/I pick it more often when scrolling through songs.

But this could have easily been a 6pk of songs with Glycerine, Sound of Winter and the new single Baby Come Home.

If RB can have songs that don't feature vox, why not a song like Glycerine that doesn't have percussion?

Who says that's a reason why it's not there? And we don't need a 6-pack to get Glycerine

That is irrelevant. If you were into living and breathing air back in the day you heard the song non-stop.

I don't know what to tell you. I know Comedown and Machinehead, but Everything Zen was new to me. I didn't listen to the radio a lot back then.

Seriously, though, if it's just Muse, I won't buy it out of principle.*

They said they're doing a Valentine's Day pack, right? I can't think of a love-y type song that'd get that many votes off the top of my head, so maybe something joke-voted like "Never Gonna Give You Up"?

You know... I think one of them made an Astley tweet today. Is it his birthday or was that just an ohsofunny Rick Roll?

Edit: it is.
